Moose discussed recent Impact departures and more. He has an opportunity to be a top guy now that others have moved on; Impact needs to capitalize on that.
World of Sport will run for ten episodes. Interestingly, they're just calling it WOS Wrestling. Either way, this could be a trial for something bigger, and will have ripple effects on the UK market.
A C.M. Punk compilation has been added to Honorclub, featuring six hours of content from his ROH years. I'm sure that will be popular. It should be noted there's no discussion of Punk returning to ROH or anywhere else in wrestling currently; this is just ROH uploading popular classic content to their streaming service.
WWE won two Webby Awards due to Wrestlemania 33. They definitely hope to win more from this year's event.
Evander Holyfield and D'Angelo Dinero/Elijah Burke were backstage at Smackdown. WWE could easily put Holyfield in their Hall of Fame at some point.
Seth Rollins promoted Greatest Royal Rumble. The brand extension is a smart way to hold off some big feuds for later.
Rosa Mendes talked about her future goals as a wrestler. I wish her well in her "second act." It sounds like she's taking it seriously.
Shinsuke Nakamura's new entrance music has a video. That's pretty cool.
WWE's Saudi trainees continued drills.
"Something Else to Wrestle With"'s second episode focused on the Mega-Powers.
Jerry Lawler and Jim Cornette discussed Lawler's recent stroke.
Dalton Castle vs. Matt Taven will headline War of the Worlds: Lowell on May 9. That's a big spot for both men.
Bullet Club's Cody, Hung Bucks, and Marty Scurll will face Los Ingobernables de Japon in War of the Worlds' Chicago's main event on May 13. So BC will be working together for that show at least.
Former WWE Creative writer Kevin Eck is now writing for ROH's website. Eck does regular columns in Baltimore.
Smackdown drew 2.55 million viewers this week, following the boost from Wrestlemania and the Superstar Shakeup.
Greatest Royal Rumble will be released on a two-DVD set. It's easily an "A" show at this point.
George Barrios discussed how WWE uses consumer data. It's amazing how much information companies can get on people using their products.
Triple H discussed plans for a global developmental system in the vein of territories. That would absolutely change wrestling as we know it. We'll see how this plays out as time goes on.
Something Else To Wrestle With shared a Jim Cornette story. Roman should have taken that advice!
WWE's Saudi trainees practiced suplexes and leapfrogs, as well as working out with Mojo Rawley. They're going pretty hard!
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. All of the above, other than I don't think anyone ever thought he was "fake." Basically fans think he's gotten more opportunities and spotlight than he should.
2. I can't disagree with their points there. Plus, Roman can win both in one night! Kidding.
3. They're putting it over as getting the best of both brands on one show. It's a marketing thing to drive subscriptions.
4. I think that definitely played into it, but ultimately they weren't going to try to do what they did in NJPW. There were too many other things to fill on the card that night.
5. Stephanie picked up two of the hottest agents in wrestling. It was best for business!
More wrestling tomorrow.
