Interviews with Kelley/Cobb/Becky/Lana, new ROH TV match and names, Alaska holding wrestling show, WWE Studios movie releases, more on new ROH series, Impact-Pop update, Impact talent responds to EVOLVE situation, EVOLVE no longer using Impact talent, E&C Season 2 trailer, MLW Title on the line in Australia, Raw and TLC matches, Silas reveals future, and Questions on Ronda attacking men, Midnight Express in WWE HoF, where Santino is now, Bischoff's Star Wars, and the first match I saw live

Cathy Kelley had a long interview with Collider and another with Gettin' Better.

ROH's December 15 TV taping has added:
- Zack Sabre, Jr. vs. Tracy Williams
- The Best Friends, Holidead, Thunder Rosa, and Britt Baker

Alaska will host WrestlePro on April 20. Mick Foley, Johnny Impact, Colt Cabana, Swoggle, Taya Valkyrie, Chris Adonis (Masters), KM, Fallah Bahh, Sonjay Dutt, Katarina Leigh, and MJF are all advertised. That's an interesting venture for the promotion.

WWE Studios' "Blood Brother" with R-Truth has been released in theaters and online.

ROH Pinnacle will be a weekly series.

Jeff Cobb discussed comics and more.

Impact will remain on Pop while they look for other TV homes. That gives them some time to figure out their next steps, which will be a major factor in their viability going forward.

LAX's Santana commented on being pulled from EVOLVE.

- EVOLVE will no longer book Impact talent due to the incident. Yeah, Impact screwed their talents over here. I understand not wanting to look inferior to NXT, but EVOLVE was offering a work-around they could have taken.

Becky Lynch discussed her character and acting in "The Marine 6".

The Edge and Christian Show got a trailer for season two. Should be fun.

The MLW Championship will be defended in Australia as Low Ki faces Jonah Rock. That adds to its prestige.

All Japan Pro Wrestling will hold a U.S. tryout camp on March 9 alongside Pro Wrestling Revolution.

Kevin Owens challenged Elton John to a match at WrestleMania 35. As long as Shania Twain referees.

Ronda Rousey and Natalya vs. Nia Jax and Tamina is set for Raw.

TLC has added:
- Drew McIntyre vs. Finn Balor, which could really be something good.
- Bobby Lashley vs. Elias
- The Bar vs. New Day vs. The Usos for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship. I'm wondering if Big Show shows up there.

Lana had an interview with Fangirling.

Silas Young has signed with ROH for a three-year deal. The schedule is better for him to take care of his family, and he doesn't have to move to Florida for NXT. He can definitely continue to be valuable for ROH.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I'm not sure how a face woman standing up to a heel male sends the wrong message, since I'm sure a lot of women identify with wanting to do that in a similar fashion to Austin beating up Vince. But, more broadly, WWE doesn't want to mirror the all-too-common situation of a man assaulting a woman on their TV shows. Yes, the opposite happens in real life as well, but it's not the epidemic men assaulting women is. 

2. I definitely expect them to be honored at some point.

3. He's getting students looked at by both WWE and Impact when they're in the area. With Impact's headquarters being near his academy, he's able to do a Twitch series with them.

4. I can't help but picture someone blaming Bischoff and Russo for Jar Jar Binks after reading this.

5. My best estimate is The Hardy Boyz vs. Too Much vs. Golga and Kurrgan of The Oddities in Greensboro, NC in 1998.

More wrestling tomorrow.
