Randy Savage was parodied on "South Park" this week as part of an episode regarding transgender wrestlers.

MLW's "Filthy" Tom Lawlor is finishing up with the promotion when his current deal ends next month. It will be interesting to see where he goes next.

Stephanie McMahon appeared at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Women Curing Cancer event.

Booker T. discussed C.M. Punk's Backstage appearance , Jordan Myles quitting , and Sin Cara asking for his release on his latest podcast.

Jimmy Hart promoted WrestleMania 36 with the Miami Herald.

Mike Kanellis is taking bookings as a speaker. He's still under WWE contract after asking for his release.

WWE Network's latest Hidden Gem is WWE's "Sunday Night Slam" special from November 1994.

Two NXT stars were injured this week, with Aliyah and Mia Yim both suffering broken noses. Yim also had rib injuries.

Jordan Myles has deleted his Twitter account, which is probably for the best. I really hope things come together for him.

- Myles' rant got press from People.com among other outlets. WWE should get ahead of this story.

Lacey Evans has been added to Smackdown's Survivor Series team.

Dynamite drew 957,000 viewers for the post-Full Gear show. That's a significant boost. Glad to see it.

NXT drew 750,000 viewers this week.

Raw has added The Viking Raiders vs. Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins for the Raw Tag Team Championship. This was determined in a live event match in Germany when that pair defeated Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. Good to see live events actually meaning something. I'd like to see them more with the 24/7 Title there.

John Cena and Keegan-Michael Key explored their Internet impacts. Pretty fun.

Full Gear drew 8,200 fans. That's pretty good.

NJPW drew 2,450 fans for Jushin Liger's U.S. farewell.

Dynamite drew 4,000 fans live, a decline from last week to make their new lowest attendance. That's still a lot higher than anyone other than WWE in the U.S., of course.

Bushiroad's president did an interview in Japan discussing his goals for Stardom:
- They want to sign back Io Shirai and Kairi Sane when their WWE deals expire. Wow. Good luck with that.

- They intend heavy recruitment from other sports. That's an interesting approach.

- They're looking to expand their audience with women, with advertising increased on that end.

- They could make an IWGP women's championship. NJPW uses the IWGP name for its titles.

The Sheik has a biography in the works.

AEW will have "season records" starting in January each year in addition to career records. That's not an awful idea, although I think I'd rather see it reset after the company's anniversary event in Memorial Day weekend.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I could see Shawn wanting to bow out and let the people who were going to be part of the company going forward have that time.

2. He's open to the possibility. It will be a matter of how much both sides think his return is worth to WWE, and under what conditions. I really don't see him working a full-time schedule, and he's adamant he won't work in Saudi Arabia.

3. It's seen similarly to, say, U.S. middle schools having football. There are a lot of young wrestling trainees there.

4. They're definitely looking at a "developmental" branch, as far as signing talents to train. It's still in the early stages.

5. To promote the pair's movie. It's possible AEW was paid for the promotional spot. Notably they were also going to be on Smackdown's FOX debut, but were removed after their AEW appearance.

More wrestling tomorrow.
