-- Main Event:
- EC3 vs. Breeze:
Nice fire from Breeze.

I like this so far.

Fine work. 

- HM vs. Ascension:
Wow. HM being treated like a pretty tough team here.

There's some good urgency here.

That was pretty solid!

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan updated his health after his heart surgery. He's still set for WrestleCon and his other announced bookings, so it sounds like the procedure wasn't too major.

"WWE Ride Along" after Raw will feature New Day and the pair of Andrade and Zelina Vega.

"WWE Chronicle" with Charlotte Flair will follow Takeover:New York.

WrestleMania 35 is scheduled to go longer than five hours, following the two hour Kickoff show. It's going to be a long night. I really hope they consider splitting it into two nights next year with the number of talents they have under contract.

Naomi took a shot at her Smackdown Live match being canceled. I don't blame her for being frustrated. So much seems to change spur of the moment in WWE.

The Rock was discussed as playing Black Adam by Shazam's producer. That would definitely make sense.

Sin Cara made a mask to honor an English soccer player he's friends with. That's pretty cool.

Stone Cold's entrance music was used for a Bellator fight. That's fun to see.

Michelle McCool talked to TMZ Sports about WWE's pay structure and more. I definitely think people getting big pushes should be compensated similarly regardless of whether they're men or women.

"The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah appeared on Xavier Woods' gaming channel. That's cool to see.

Raw has announced:
- Batista appearing in his hometown of Washington, DC
- Beth Phoenix, Natalya, and the Boss 'N' Hug Connection vs. Nia Jax, Tamina, and the IIconics in Beth's first Raw match since 2012.
- The Revival vs. Aleister Black and Ricochet for the Raw Tag Team Championship. Notably these names are not currently announced for WrestleMania.

WrestleMania 35's venue covered procedures for the event. Honestly attending a show with that many other people sounds like a hassle when I can see it much cheaper with a much better view at home.

The ROH Dojo is doing a seminar on May 4 and May 5 for a select group of talent.

Ric Flair is in commercials for Cumberland Farms: Commercial 1 Commercial 2 This man is a national treasure.

AAA's April 4 press conference will feature Konnan, The Lucha Bros, Blue Demon Jr., Drago, Aerostar, Puma King, Taya Valkyrie, and Daga among others.

WWE's live events this weekend feature talent from both Raw and Smackdown Live, including an interbrand match in the main event with Kofi Kingston beating Elias.

- Also, for the first time since January 13, the Cruiserweight Championship is on the line at a live event as Buddy Murphy successfully defends against Tony Nese.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I believe they combined a number of real trainers into his character. At one point they wanted Dusty Rhodes to play himself, but unfortunately that never happened.

2. HAHAHAHAHA. Not that I'm aware of. That could backfire, since it would draw attention away from Kofi's big achievement.

3.a. Becky Lynch won the Royal Rumble and his headlining WrestleMania. If that's being mishandled, almost every star in the business would love to be "mishandled" in such a way.

b. Kofi is challenging for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania and has gotten a LOT of TV time in the past month.

c. Barrett I can somewhat agree on after how far he fell from his initial push, where he competed for the WWE Championship and worked with a lot of major names.

d. Ryder definitely could have done more.

e. Sandow was definitely another case of a talent fans were really hoping WWE would pull the trigger on.

f. The man who was WWE Champion for 434 days???? He had a pretty good run and was probably not going to last much longer than he ended up lasting if he was pushed as he wanted to. All that was left on his list was headlining WrestleMania in 2014. When it was clear that wasn't happening, he decided it wasn't worth it to keep working hurt. He had a tough road to where he was, but he was utilized mostly well.

g. Bray is stale as all get out. I would have liked to have seen him go further than he did, though.

h. Yeah they got all they could out of Ryback without sabotaging Punk's push. Honestly he's a case of WWE using their hype machine and creative abilities to establish someone of limited ability and marketability. Note how little he's doing now.

i. They might could have gotten a little more out of DiBiase, but it's clear in hindsight he didn't have a huge passion for wrestling.

j. The jury's still out on Cesaro. I think he's currently doing the best and most prominent work in his whole WWE run.

k. Cody had hit a wall creatively. It was best for him to get out and start something new.

l. Vince definitely makes up his mind about talent and it takes a lot to get him to change his mind. It does look like he's listening to the crowd on Kofi and Becky, for what that's worth. Honestly at times it takes talent standing up for themselves and being willing to go somewhere else and prove their worth for WWE to wake up and value what they have. WWE threw a lot of money to keep Punk and try to get Cody back for those reasons.

4. I could see them announcing it after the fact.

5. For whatever reason the city hasn't proven itself to the powers that be that it's worth holding WrestleMania there. Other cities have really rolled out the red carpet to win WWE over, and it's paid off. I would like to see more variety in host cities, but it's definitely a case of them wowing WWE enough to think it will be worth it to hold the biggest week of the year there.

More wrestling tomorrow.
