Lanny Poffo spoke about the Randy Savage-Stephanie McMahon rumors and more on the debut edition of his new podcast. Those rumors are going to last forever, it seems.
Zack Ryder is on Lilian Garcia's latest podcast.
Melina responded to Naomi wanting to wrestle her. It doesn't look like it's in the works.
Mick Foley promoted his tour in Canada. He's still getting paid for that HIAC bump 20 years later!
Mercedes Martinez discussed returning for this year's Mae Young Classic. I'm interested in what the future holds for names WWE brings in for these events but doesn't sign.
Batista discussed leaving WWE for Hollywood. I'm curious if he'd do something at GRR 2019 if he doesn't get to work WM35.
More All In notes:
- The show is now available on New Japan World. Some of NJPW management was at the show.
- Cody's NWA World Championship win makes him and Dusty Rhodes the only father/son duo to have held the championship. The Rock congratulated Cody for his success. It was an awesome accomplishment.
- FITE TV was the no. 1 sports app this past weekend due to revenue from the event. That's really impressive.
- Jim Ross was also at the show. I don't remember the last time a non-WWE show had this much buzz in the U.S.
- Nick Aldis discussed having Jeff Jarrett in his corner. I'm glad everything worked out for those involved. That's a classy move.
- Marty Scurll didn't appear at the closing celebration because he took the blame for his match going longer than expected. The show was originally going to conclude with a lot of confetti for the celebration, but that had to be dropped from the broadcast due to time. Instead, it happened for the live crowd.
WWWF All-Star Wrestling has 50 hours of content added to WWE Network. I expect more on the way.
WWE Network's October collections will feature Austin vs. McMahon - Part 3 and Ted DiBiase, Sr.
The former Big Cass discussed leaving WWE and reteaming with the former Enzo Amore. I'm glad he understands why Vince made the call he made. As for Enzo/Real1, he doesn't have plans to get back in the ring, so it doesn't look like that team will reunite.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com question:
1. I don't have much to add here. Those names have shown they can be very successful outside of WWE, and can likely continue to do so. As we saw at All In, they can also provide other wrestlers with opportunities to make money in front of big crowds outside of WWE. That's powerful, and could absolutely be worth continuing. WWE could likely offer them a lot of money, a lot of work, and a lot of new opponents, but whether that's worth giving up the unique position they have now is going to be up to them. I don't think it's out of the question to think a lot of wrestlers want them to help create a viable scene outside the WWE system so there are ample opportunities for high-level work in the business.
More wrestling tomorrow.
