Jerry Jarrett is working on a television pilot that's essentially a wrestling version of a talent show, with people doing matches in front of judges. Jim Cornette and Robert Fuller are attached as judges.

ROH is looking to put together a show with the largest non-WWE U.S. attendance since WCW went out of business, which puts the goal at 6,700 paid fans. That's a very lofty goal for a show not tied to Wrestlemania weekend.

Batista was considered as Ronda Rousey's Wrestlemania partner. He wants to return at some point.

WWE is scouting Minnesota as the home for a future Wrestlemania, as top officials have booked a suite for an NFL game later this year.

China's Gu Guangming asked for his NXT release in order to return home. So, it was his decision to leave the company.

Senor Benjamin, Queen Rebecca, King Maxel, and Vanguard-1 will be at Wrestlecon on Saturday from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. That's hilarious. 

ROH's app is now available on Android phones and TV. It's still under review by Apple and Roku.

Buddy Murphy talked in Australia. He's lucky he's getting another chance. He's certainly worked hard for it, including a pretty heavy diet. Wow.

Mattel showed how WWE superstars become action figures. That's really cool. The process has come a long way.

Dolph Ziggler looked at weird eBay wrestling items. People will buy just about anything it looks like.

"Total Bellas" season three will premiere May 20. The E! deal has done good things for WWE.

WWE's 2018 Hall of Fame Legacy inductees are:
-- I like the international focus.

ROH is selling championship replicas this weekend. That's pretty cool.

Stephanie McMahon discussed Andre the Giant.

WWE's Jetsons movie is on Boomerang's streaming service to time with Wrestlemania.

The Hardys are on the most recent Edge and Christian podcast. That's really big.

The Andre the Giant documentary had a deleted scene released by HBO. 

Tyler Bate returned to a WWE ring at AXXESS, with Mustache Mountain losing to Riddick Moss and Tito Sabbatelli in the first round of the NXT Tag Team Championship Invitational. 

Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler will be guest commentators for the Andre the Giant battle royal, while Beth Phoenix will do commentary for the women's battle royal.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It looks as though he'll be doing a concert on the show, which could lead to an angle with someone else on the roster, if not WWE Hall of Famer Kid Rock. I'd like to see him as Braun's partner. It could be pretty fun.

2. Not worth the expense just to pop his pre-WWE fans. His current music already gets people excited.

3. Unless WWE made a costly slip up, they probably replaced it with a similar sounding song.

4. I'm under the impression she's well and truly retired from the business. 

5. Don't be one of THOSE fans who makes the show about them. Support the people and companies you like by focusing the attention on what they're doing.

More wrestling tomorrow.
