Cornette on Santino incident, top NJPW name at SCOH, new Impact web channel, Interviews with Allie/Becky/Riot, Bayley at Nintendo, Rhyno's birthday at a live event, WWE 2K18 hype, Shelton note, Cena in USA movie, and Questions on Shane at Raw, trademarking wrestling matches, Shane challenging Owens at HIAC, and Enzo headlining Raw

Jim Cornette discussed walking out of a wrestling event this weekend. That's funny with Santino running a wrestling school while Cornette couldn't get work for Impact in Canada due to his criminal record. So who's really a joke as far as wrestling in 2017 is concerned?

Hiroshi Tanahashi has been announced for Supercard of Honor as tickets have gone on sale. ROH is hoping for that to be their biggest show ever.

Impact Wrestling now has a channel on Pluto.TV. They're really trying to expand digitally in the absence of profitable TV deals.

Allie was recently interviewed. She's been a lot of fun in Impact.

Bayley was featured at the Nintendo World Championships this weekend. That's a really cool idea.

Rhyno celebrated his birthday at a Raw live event. I like when the company lets loose in that regard.

WWE used WWE 2K18 to simulate matches to take place at Hell in a Cell in a preview on YouTube. That's pretty clever.

Shelton Benjamin hasn't returned to WWE live events yet. Chad Gable teamed with Breezango to beat Mike Kanellis & The Ascension on Saturday night.

John Cena is in Psych:The Movie, which will air on USA on December 8th.

Becky Lynch talked before HIAC. WWE has a lot of talented women right now.

Ruby Riot discussed her work in NXT. She's doing well at standing out from the pack.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Most Smackdown names were at a live event that night. He was free, so he made that appearance.

2. WWE can probably trademark some of the match types themselves, but going after indie promoters isn't really worth the time or money. WWE has other lawsuits to worry about.

3. Shane works out! Heck, given how jacked Vince is, I'm not surprised.

4. Shane, as a character, is gutsy enough to enter that kind of environment after all Kevin has put him through. Shane held his own against Taker in HIAC, so he probably thought he at least had a chance against Owens.

5. 205 Live has benefited from having Enzo onboard. WWE is putting a spotlight on him and the show.

More wrestling tomorrow.
