New indie streaming service, assorted WWE press, another Heenan tribute, Smackdown audience, HoFers wrestling at Starrcade, WWE takes legal action against Bucks, another date for Cena and Brock, and Questions on Owens vs. Shane, Raw vs. MNF, sources getting special treatment, WWE regulating social media, and wrestling for Impact

A new streaming service has launched with access to Women's Extreme Wrestling, the Urban Wrestling Federation, 3PW, Wrestling's Bloodiest Wars, Female Wrestling's Most Violent Brawls, and The Wrestling Zone. Hopefully it's a success for the groups involved. Given Floslam's issues, I can see how people would be shying away from doing streaming services.

John Cena visited Nintendo. He's a good spokesperson for their target demographic.

- Cena also visited a child in the hospital. Cena gets around!!

Chris Jericho paid tribute to Bobby Heenan on his most recent podcast. The Brain was one of the all-time great heels, for sure.

Smackdown drew 2.54 million viewers this week, pretty much in line with last week's show.

Stephanie McMahon was at a big Boys & Girls Clubs of America National Youth of the Year gala Tuesday night.

NXT talent will be part of a Special Olympics plane pull in Florida.

JBL got press for his work in India. I can't praise that enough. Great for him.

An Ontario comic convention is honoring the original Royal Rumble with participants in attendance.

The Club vs. The Rock 'N' Roll Express is official for Starrcade. That's amazing! I wouldn't have expected that team to wrestle for WWE in 2017.

- Ricky Steamboat is also advertised for the event, which is shockingly not currently planned as a WWE Network special.

Bayley will be part of the 2017 Nintendo World Championship on October 7. She'd be great for that, although TJP and New Day would be obvious guests, too.

WWE has served the Young Bucks with a cease-and-desist letter in regard to using the "Too Sweet" hand gesture on TV and in merchandise, as WWE claims ownership of the gesture. WWE also wants a written agreement from the Bucks that they won't use any WWE-owned properties in the future. Should the Bucks not comply, WWE could seek more than $150,000 in damages. I can't say I'm all that surprised. The team was pretty blatantly using something popularized by the nWo. I hope this doesn't lead to a big court battle. Everyone involved should be focused on other things. Plus, it's possible the Bucks, Kenny Omega, etc. are in WWE doing the gesture sooner rather than later anyway!

John Cena is advertised for Raw's December 26 show in Madison Square Garden. So, he still has WWE appearances left in him outside of big PPVs.

Brock Lesnar is advertised for the November 13 Raw, which is six days before Survivor Series. He's not currently advertised for Survivor Series, but I think that will change. I'm hoping for Brock vs. Finn, since I assume Brock vs. Roman is the plan for WM34.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. With Shane being 47 and only working a few matches a year, I think Owens should get the win. Then maybe we get Owens vs. Nakamura?

2. I agree that's an overreaction. They already get destroyed by NFL!

3. HAHAHAHAHA I love it. I do think pretty much all journalists who have friends they cover are going to be influenced by that to a degree, as it's easier to trust someone you know/have a good relationship with. But as far as talent specifically saying "I'll give you a scoop if you put me over" or anything, I don't think that happens.

4. That would be a mess given how many talents send so many social media messages! WWE does give talent rules and all, but they mostly let the talent do their own thing on social media.

5. If they make the best available offer, it's worth a shot. That level of exposure is valuable. Gotta get paid, brother!

More wrestling tomorrow.
