ICW scouting, UK promotions on Network soon?, HBK in the UK, Inteview with Romero, MYC 2 recruitment, Punk/Cabana lawsuit moves forward, NJPW show airing live, Impact audience, grudge match set for Takeover, assorted WWE press, guest WWEPC coach, and Questions on 205 Live house shows, bringing MYC 1 competitors back, and WWE acquiring libraries

ICW is doing a series for BBC Scotland, in the vein of Tough Enough. This could definitely get them some good exposure.

ICW and PROGRESS could finally be coming to WWE Network soon, with an announcement possible at the upcoming WWE:UK events.

Shawn Michaels is set for next month's WWE:UK events. That's pretty cool to get over how important the shows are. I'd like to see Undertaker shift into a similar role at some point, without the supernatural stuff.

Rocky Romero is on Chris Jericho's latest podcast.

The second Mae Young Classic is already getting talent recruited for it, including wrestlers from last year's event and women who have had tryouts with the company.

The C.M. Punk/Colt Cabana lawsuit has reached the jury selection stage, as neither side has talked about settlement. I'm amazed it's gone more than three years at this point. This is unreal.

NJPW's July 7 California show will air live on AXS TV. The company hasn't announced any matches yet due to their big Dominion show coming up. Hopefully they're still able to have a big house given that delay.

Impact Wrestling dropped to 236,000 viewers Thursday night, a big departure from the previous week's 325,000. Hopefully that was just due to NBA competition and they rebound for Under Pressure.

Johnny Gargano vs. Tommaso Ciampa in a street fight at Takeover:Chicago is in the works. I'm curious what Candice's role will be in all of this.

Triple H promoted the Mauro Ranallo documentary. I'm glad Mauro has support.

Former FCW head Steve Keirn was a guest coach at the WWE Performance Center this week. Cool to see him back in the mix.

Jinder Mahal and Bayley appeared with a soccer team before Raw's Italy show. Pretty cool collaboration.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I don't think I'm qualified to answer this one, so I'm going with their answer.

Nothing to add to 2.

3. There hasn't been much of any news on 205 Live at all lately, other than people wondering what will happen to it when Smackdown goes to Fridays.

4. Jazzy Gabert, Princesa Sugehit, Mia Yim (who should definitely be signed), Santana Garrett, Piper Niven, and Toni Storm. Steffanie Newell as well, since she was injured last time.

5. WWE will have the money to pursue pretty much anyone or anything they want at that time. It's not out of the question for them to license Impact and ROH content.

More wrestling tomorrow.
