Podcast notes, Vince-XFL update, new MYC competitor announced, Strong's NXT birthday, Interviews with Charlotte/Ronda, Lawler having Memphis guests, another WWE series from Camp WWE creators, NFL player homages Austin, Impact audience, Raw+NXT live event notes, and Questions on G1 vs. Takeover head-to-head, MLW not acknowledging Impact, WWE positioning SDL better, Vince being absent from FOX negotiations, and Hanson's pre-WWE life

Beth Phoenix discussed WWE Evolution and more on Edge and Christian's podcast.

Ultimo Dragon is on Chris Jericho's latest podcast.

WWE's latest financial filing discusses Alpha Entertainment and the XFL, indicating Vince McMahon "shall devote substantially all of his full working time to the business and affairs of" WWE, but he "may engage in such other business and charitable activities that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, do not violate Section 8, create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest with (WWE) or materially interfere with the performance of his obligations to (WWE)." So, he's going to remain hands-on in WWE while developing the XFL. I don't think anyone expected him to resign or anything else drastic. We'll see how he's able to balance all his responsibilities.

MYC competitor Meiko Satomura discussed competing in the series. WWE has definitely recruited around the globe for the competition.

Roderick Strong discussed spending his birthday wrestling for NXT. That's pretty cool.

Charlotte Flair discussed WWE Evolution and more.

Jerry Lawler's Memphis TV show will feature Dave Brown, Bert Prentice, Tom Nunnery, Brian Christopher, Antonio Braxton, Koko B. Ware, Bill Dundee, Doug Gilbert, Jerry Calhoun, and Randy Hales as guests in the coming months. I hope the Christopher appearance goes well given Brian's recent issues.

Camp WWE's creators have another series coming. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than WWE's usual comedy.

WWE's financial success was covered in Stamford.

Ronda Rousey talked to Cosmopolitan.

Pittsburgh NFL player Vince Williams channeled Stone Cold as he arrived at training camp. It's missing something without the music. Hopefully they recreate it better later.

Impact Wrestling drew 299,000 viewers for the post-Slammiversary episode. That's up from last week, but not by a huge margin.

At NXT's July 27 live event in Florida:
- Boa returned to the ring for the first time since May, losing to Jeet Rama.
- Keith Lee worked his first live event, defeating Dan Matha. No shock he's already on the road.
- Tony Nese defeated Raul Mendoza. Nese occasionally works NXT shows.

At Raw's July 27 live event in Ohio:
- Zack Ryder teamed with Chad Gable in a loss to the Authors of Pain.
- Jinder Mahal teamed with Drew McIntyre in a loss to Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. Dolph Ziggler wasn't on the show.

Tyler Breeze worked NXT's July 27 event in California, losing to Adam Cole with the North American Championship on the line.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. That's a really smart idea from Mike. I think there will be plenty of fans to attend both Saturday events either way, but it could definitely benefit the G1 Special if fans don't have to choose one event over the other.

2. I see both sides of this. It would obviously benefit MLW to say they've got certain prominent titleholders from Impact, but they also don't want to draw too much attention to other wrestling companies since they're building their own brand.

3. I'm sure they'll start making changes as the move gets closer. Right now, though, Raw is still the top show. Maybe once (if?) Brock loses the title and heads to UFC, WWE will start to make things more even.

4. It is something of a passing of the torch in some ways, as those names will be the future of WWE Corporate. Vince is still absolutely the captain of the ship, however, and will continue to be for some time to come.

5. Hanson is from Massachusetts, so it's unlikely he went to high school in Wisconsin.

More wrestling tomorrow.
