Rey Mysterio is now co-owner of Aro Lucha, and fans will be able to buy stock shares of the company. It will be very interesting to see what having Rey on board means for the company and for Rey's future. As for fan investments, it's a novel way to get the company off the ground. We'll see how it goes.
- Additionally, more tapings are set for May or June, with live events being booked, too. They're giving the idea a good run.
Hillbilly Jim discussed wanting Hulk Hogan to induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame. I don't expect that to happen, but it's a good gesture.
Bayley spoke before Raw. I would be fine with Bayley joining up with Elias, but I think he's about to turn face and team with Braun. Bayley might should turn heel.
The Usos promoted Wrestlemania 34:
- They should absolutely be on the main card this time.
- The heel turn was very refreshing. They do a good job in their roles.
- Waffle House is THE BOMB. It's not healthy, but it's SO good.
Titus O'Neil worked with the U.S. Tennis Association to help local kids in Florida.
Matt Hardy used VIP ticket holders in a video promoting Ultimate Deletion. That's clever!
WWE cross-promoted with a golf event. Coach really hit the ground running in WWE. Glad to see it.
Daniel Bryan talked in the United Arab Emirates:
- 227 matches in 365 days is quite a bit.
- I have no idea what they're thinking with Bryan at Mania if he can't take a bump. I do think they realize he's probably going to go out and wrestle later this year after leaving WWE.
- I really like Shane's reinforcing management style.
- Sami needs a moment like Bryan did with the Yes! movement - a gimmick that takes him beyond just being a good athlete who works hard.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I think that was supposed to make things more "real" because they broke the fourth wall of Shane just being a Smackdown guy. So obviously what was happening between Vince and Roman was "real," too!
2. Elias was desperate to escape, I guess.
3. She decided she wanted to reunite with the woman who brought her back to WWE (after her NXT appearance), and someone who's a top champion. If you can't beat them, join them!
4. Shane tried to fire them a few months ago, but they won their match to stay in the company. Bryan's the one working on their side.
5. Shane is looking more and more like the heel in this scenario, turning power-hungry. A lot of the roster could think Shane put himself in that situation in the first place.
6. Basically it was a possible goodbye in case he didn't come back for one last match, which it now looks like he'll do. Heck, maybe he comes back next year, too! I'm fine with Cena beating the guy who's ready to focus on being a father and husband.
7. Everyone gets jaded eventually it seems like. I've been there.
More wrestling tomorrow.
