Global Wrestling Network launches, HOH to get weekly series, two names miss Raw, WWE team update, more on Flair Table for 3 episode, future Ride Along guests, Interviews with Jake Crist/Kanellises, Conor at WM34?, WWE India contest, Smackdown match changed, Raw audience, Santino addresses Cornette incident, and Questions on Enzo's effectiveness, the fall of WCPW, the UK brand's status, talents getting time off, and dropping Raw's third hour

Global Wrestling Network has launched with Impact Wrestling TV, PPVs, Xplosion, "TNA Epics," "TNA Legends," Inside Impact, and British Boot Camp as well as material from Scott D'Amore's Border City Wrestling, Aaron Weiss' Pro Wrestling PPVs, Canadian indie promotion Smash Wrestling, and classic St. Louis territory footage in the form of Wrestling at the Chase. So, they're already offering more than just Impact content. I assume content from AAA, NOAH, and The Crash could be forthcoming.

House of Hardcore will get a weekly show on Twitch, including live streams of a lot of their events. Twitch will air their November 18 show in Pennsylvania and December 2 show in Wisconsin live, and film content on the November 17 show in New York.

- As part of this deal, HOH will run more regular shows and declare champions in 2018. One such event will be in Louisiana during WM34 weekend.

- HOH will also be signing wrestlers to contracts for a series of dates at a time in order to be able to do weekly storylines. These deals wouldn't be exclusive, long-term contracts, allowing performers to also work elsewhere as long as HOH commitments are met. All told, this is an important step forward for the promotion. It will be interesting to see what the future of the company will look like as it moves from live events to a weekly series.

Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas weren't at Raw. Bray's footage had been filmed in advance. No word on why they missed.

Primo Colon has been on the road at Smackdown tapings, but not used. The opportunity is there to have the Colons face Breezango.

The Ric Flair/Sting/Ricky Steamboat episode of Table for 3 is now set for December. I'm looking forward to it.

The Hardys and Breezango will be part of WWE Ride Along. That could be really entertaining.

Jake Crist was interviewed. oVe has benefited from Impact retaining a national TV presence.

Conor McGregor is reportedly negotiating to wrestle at WM34. He'd definitely be a big draw for WWE. It's absolutely worth trying to make happen.

Mike and Maria Kanellis discussed Mike's history of painkiller addition on WWE.com. I'm really glad he's turned his life around.

WWE has an "India welcomes Jinder" contest. He's definitely a centerpiece of their upcoming tour there.

New Day were originally set to face Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin on Smackdown to determine the Usos' next opponents, but plans were changed. I think it made more sense the way they did it. It sold how damaging HIAC was and showed Smackdown as the Land of Opportunity and all that.

Raw drew 2.87 million viewers this week, a decent boost from the previous week. Hopefully fans keep watching The Shield reunion.

Santino Marella addressed Jim Cornette and their recent incident. Santino is hardly the only person to accuse Cornette of living in his own reality. It's a shame what could have been a chance at reconciliation and an enjoyable convention appearance turned into another outburst.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. His target audience wasn't the people who wanted to see his technical skills; while some fans watch for that, others want colorful characters and fun promos. He was successful at getting fans buying his merchandise as a face and is now using the same tactics that got him over there as a heel to rejuvenate 205 Live. More people are watching since he joined the brand, so his critics are in the minority. 

2. I was under the impression a lot of it had to do with YouTube vastly downgrading pro wrestling's standing on its revenue list. The project wasn't as profitable as it was initially, so people bailed.

3. It's very expensive to get it off the ground as a regular touring brand, and WWE's not making the kind of profits they wanted from the Network, so it's still on the shelf.

4. It's a case-by-case thing. They generally have to ask for time off.

5. If ratings for the first two hours were much higher than the last hour, it could cause a change. BUT that change would cost WWE a lot of revenue, some of which they use to create and promote things like 205 Live, the UK tournament, etc. as well as signing new talent. So a boycott could end up backfiring. Just watch the segments you enjoy and follow the rest of what's going on on Twitter or whatever.

More wrestling tomorrow.
