Interviews with Hogan/Harper, New Day note, Hillbilly inductor, another ROH main event set, Teigen-WWE update, painter at AXXESS again, and Questions on the future of the Grand Championship, taped title changes affecting live events, Braun's partner, and the Roman steroid allegations

Hulk Hogan discussed potentially returning to WWE. One could argue he needs to apologize specifically to black performers in addition to one big "blanket" apology.

New Day represented "Black Panther" at Awesomecon. That's really amazing.

Harper gave an interview for Sam Roberts' podcast.

Jimmy Hart will induct Hillbilly Jim into the WWE Hall of Fame. That should be good.

ROH's April 28 event will have the World, Television, and Tag Team Champions facing four members of Bullet Club. We'll see who ends up being in action there once Supercard of Honor finishes.

Chrissy Teigen has been formally invited to Wrestlemania 35. Go ahead and make jokes about her being in the Hall of Fame next.

Rob Schamberger will work his fifth straight AXXESS, doing a painting for Charlotte vs. Asuka.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I'm surprised it wasn't just dropped when Sydal gave it to Mathews. Hopefully it's combined with the world title and put back in storage.

2. It depends on how each particular promotion treats its taped content. It used to be more common to not spoil what had been taped, but in the Internet age, companies often don't bother to hide the fact their shows aren't live.

3. I think Show's still several months from being cleared. There are a number of interesting possibilities, from Kane to Drew McIntyre to Big Cass to someone coming up from NXT.

4. This story got a LOT of play for something that never had any concrete proof. I was disappointed to see long-time journalists giving so much coverage to something that wasn't substantiated. PWInsider, notably, mostly kept quiet about the accusations, but others seemed all too eager to run with the story.

Nothing to add to 5 or 6.

More wrestling tomorrow.
