Jim Cornette has been announced for the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo on March 23. He will have a live show and one package includes an Italian beef sandwich for some reason.

- Eric Bischoff and Tony Schiavone will do a live show on March 22 there, combining their respective podcasts.

WWE stock was examined by Zacks.com, with positive results.

Greg Hamilton was honored in his hometown.

WWEPC trainees competed in a plane pull for Special Olympics.

G1 Supercard will feature Marty Scurll challenging for the ROH Championship. I expect we'll see a new champion declared there.

Impact has announced oVe's Jake Crist and Dave Crist have signed new multi-year contracts.

Smackdown Live drew 2.20 million viewers Tuesday, in line with previous weeks.

Roman Reigns has been added to WrestleMania AXXESS, with a VIP signing. Good he's getting back into things.

WWE Network's latest Hidden Gem is the "March to WrestleMania IX" special featuring:
- Randy Savage vs. Yokozuna
- Mr. Perfect vs. Skinner
- Kamala vs. Kim Chee
- Money Inc. vs. Jerry Sabin/Reno Riggins
- George South vs. Tatanka
- The Bushwhackers/Tiger Lackson vs. Beverly Brothers/Little Louie
- The Undertaker vs. Bam Bam Bigelow

Mustafa Ali talked about being a Muslim babyface. I'm glad his character isn't about religion one way or another. He's an awesome wrestler who happens to be Muslim.

Corey Graves was on Busted Open recently.

Jim Cornette has been added to MLW's June 1 show in Wisconsin and July 6 show in Illinois. Looks like they're working things out per appearance.

Dixie Carter responded to being namedropped on Smackdown Live. What a crazy time we live in!

Ricochet and Aleister Black are advertised for Smackdown Live's May UK tour dates, so they will be moving on from NXT entirely shortly. The pair did work Wednesday night's TV taping.

NXT's dark match for Wednesday's taping was Chelsea Green defeating Jessie Elaban.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. HOH has more or less been on hiatus since December, but there are plans for the promotion to continue.

2. Wow yeah I can't beat that story. Yikes. The worst story I have is being seated too close to a support beam, but that hardly compares.

3. Once they changed directions with Ambrose, EC3's program was dropped. They clearly haven't come up with anything significant since then, although he does still appear on TV so that hopefully counts for something. I do think he has somewhat been put on the back burner with some of the rest of his "class" once the four newest names from NXT debuted.

4. I seem to remember him being hurt again during that feud. Since then there hasn't been any urgency to use him again (I would say it's so they can focus on newer names, but that's not totally true). He is still under contract.

5. I LOVE IT PAL. The difference between Ronda and Brock is Brock is being courted by UFC and can presumably come back in a few months after a fight. Ronda on the other hand is reportedly looking to start a family, which would put her out of the ring for much longer. I would be very surprised if Ronda retained. If Vince is having second thoughts about Becky, there's another option in the mix.

More wrestling tomorrow.
