WWE has filed for an extension to oppose Starrcast's "Dead Man Talking" trademark. I have a feeling the trademark could end up being dropped.
Stone Cold Steve Austin is on Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s latest podcast.
Smackdown Live did not air for Fios customers in Delaware, with USA Network airing a black screen other than commercial breaks. It's possible this was due to storms in the area.
Jon Moxley was on Chris Jericho's latest podcast. Here are some highlights:
- I'm sure being out of a restrictive environment feels liberating.
- Moxley's character was often very "forced" with some of the wacky shenanigans they came up with for him. I didn't often enjoy his singles career.
- Yeah Moxley's last heel run was pretty brutal. And, of course, you can trace it all back to the person approving the writing.
- The shots at Reigns' health also felt forced, like a cheap way to get heat.
- What's sad is I expect plenty of current WWE stars feel like they're in the same boat but can't get out.
- I can get behind Moxley's mindset of doing his best job with what he's given, although obviously there was only so much he could do to salvage how his character was portrayed.
- There's real excitement for Moxley's future, and for other names if they can get out of WWE and take their own destiny. Of course, the downside is that a lot fewer people are seeing and paying for non-WWE wrestling content.
- Yeah the Nia angle went nowhere.
-- This episode of "Talk is Jericho" is the most popular in the show's history. That's not a huge surprise given the topic at hand.
Lars Sullivan's Twitter account has been deleted. That could be for the best.
Sami Zayn's AEW reference still appears on the Hulu version of Raw. It's possible this is an oversight.
Titus O'Neil will be signing his upcoming back on August 4 in Florida and August 6 in New Jersey. I think he could end up representing WWE for years to come.
WWE Network's latest Hidden Gems are:
- The Sheik vs. Juan Humberto from 1954
- Wild Bill Curry vs. Danny Savich from 1955
- Mad Dog Vachon vs. The Amazing Zuma from 1957
-- Sheik, Curry, and Vachon are seen as pioneers of the "hardcore" style.
Raw drew 2.19 million viewers on Memorial Day. Last year's Memorial Day episode drew 2.50 million.
NXT's Rachael Evers was in a car accident yesterday. She's thankfully well in the aftermath.
Daniel Bryan spoke to Sports Illustrated:
- Experienced wrestlers can definitely pretty much wrestle a match in their sleep.
- God I love Heel Bryan. I really don't think he was after the WWE Title when he first came to the company, though. He was pretty laid back then.
- Fun shots at Kofi and the tag division.
- Pretty funny stuff overall.
G1 Climax in Texas has added Jeff Cobb and Tomohiro Ishii.
Best in the World will be headlined by Matt Taven vs. Jeff Cobb for the ROH World Championship. That's definitely a major opportunity for Cobb.
