ECW producer Charlie Bruzzese was profiled by beIN Sports.

WWE and Jack Black remembered Silver King.

Mauro Ranallo tributed Percy Watson after Percy's recent exit. Classy move from Mauro.

WWE PC signee Nasser Alruwayeh has asked for and received his release in order to compete in CrossFit.

The WWE PC has signed Saudi Arabia's Hussain Aldgal and Faisal Kurdi. The duo were involved in a segment with the Daivari brothers at the Greatest Royal Rumble, so maybe we're in for a match in a few weeks.

Ronda Rousey discussed WrestleMania 35 and more in a UFC interview.

WWE's YouTube channel streamed their "My Son/Daughter is a WWE Superstar" series in its entirety.

Double or Nothing has been announced for more PPV outlets in the U.S. and Canada.

ROH livestreamed Guerrillas of Destiny vs. the Briscoes from War of the Worlds Chicago on Honor Club. I'll cover it when it airs on ROH TV.

Primo Colon is working in WWC next week. Honestly WWE might as well let Primo and Epico go there full-time.

Brian Cage has vacated two independent championships due to his injury. He's looking to wrestle again on May 18. I hope he's able to return soon.

The former Jack Swagger discussed Kofi Kingston as WWE Champion and more. I'm glad he's putting over his former career.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Basically Vince wants them to set a long-term vision, even if he throws it out and has them set up a new long-term vision a few weeks later.

2. They're definitely not marketing to children! I'd definitely check out some of the "Road to Double or Nothing" videos (and to a degree the Being The Elite videos) to see what things look like for the brand. The story has been they intend to have a bigger focus on long-term storytelling and wins and losses/athleticism than we see on Raw and Smackdown Live.

3. Chris Benoit and Owen Hart are kind of givens, no? The C.M. Punk podcast saga would probably qualify as well.

4. I don't see him going in while he's alive, and I wouldn't expect him to go in in-character, as amazing as that could be.

5. I definitely don't think he's against those things. He just continually changes his mind and thinks it's worth sacrificing the established continuity, etc. for his new ideas. Honestly I don't even know if he follows any other shows or anything. WWE is his life passion.

More wrestling tomorrow.
