Bret custom title, new Full Gear match, Interviews with Hogan/Shayna/Ali/Scorpio, Impact PPV site, Backstage audience tanks, Cain in-ring update, NXT names going for PROGRESS gold, NXT UK champion set for EVOLVE, Gargano to miss dates, NXT star opens up about disease, Lynn health scare, NWA in Retromania, and Questions on AEW moving talent around, ratings rebounding from World Series week, Mania's length, Myles' shirt, and how WWE debuted Cain

Bret Hart has a new WWE Championship "signature" design. That's really cool. I'll pop if Shawn Michaels gets the next one.

Full Gear has added Riho vs. Emi Sakura for the AEW Women's Championship.

Hulk Hogan discussed his upcoming back surgery and more. I hope he doesn't risk his health taking more bumps.

Shayna Baszler spoke about Survivor Series and more with PWInsider and Sporting News. She has been underutilized, but thankfully now she's being seen by a larger audience.

Impact's Hard to Kill PPV is set for January 12 in Texas, at the site of Slammiversary 2019. That would indicate they don't expect the AXS clearance to quickly lead to a big jump in attendance. That's probably wise.

WWE Backstage's debut episode drew 49,000 viewers, a disastrous number that would have me rethinking the show's future.

Ali was featured on the CBS Evening News. That's great!

Cain Velasquez is no longer advertised as wrestling at WWE's Mexico City show, but he will still appear. That's probably for the best if he needs surgery that badly.

NXT's Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch will challenge for PROGRESS' Tag Team Championship on November 24 as they face Jordan Devlin and Scotty Davis.

Walter has been added to EVOLVE 141 in Michigan on December 6 and EVOLVE 142 in Illinois on December 7.

- Johnny Gargano has pulled out of those events due to a health issue. He's still expected for WarGames.

Kyle O'Reilly discussed living with diabetes. I never knew! Props to him for achieving so much.

Scorpio Sky discussed making amends for past negative tweets. I'm very glad that he owned up to his mistakes and used them to become a better person.

Jerry Lynn has pulled out of Starrcast IV due to unspecified health issues. He recently underwent an MRI. I wish him the best; that's a big weekend to miss.

NWA has announced official involvement in Retromania, with Nick Aldis and Austin Idol added. That's really cool.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. We have seen a good variety of talent on the show, although of course the top names have generally been on every show. That makes some sense with them trying to sell Full Gear. It would be odd if they shifted who appeared each week TOO much, since they are trying to establish the key players.

2. Yeah "need" is a strong word, but they certainly wanted to see an increase without such major competition. I'll cover their respective audiences tomorrow.

3. It's possible, but the idea has generally been to give fans a marathon since it's the most important spectacle of the year and such.

4. Myles' side of the story is that he was under the impression that it had already been approved by higher-ups and he didn't want to rock the boat.

5. They sold the hell out of Cain following that debut. Even if they hadn't, after he took down Brock and Brock bailed, people knew business had just picked up for Mrs. Lesnar's Baby Boy. No complaints.

More wrestling coming up.
