Impact helping ODB, convention changes, assorted wrestling press, Lance Storm's next move, FNSD audience, NXT concussion, AEW signs Dynamite wrestler, NWA apologizes for Cornette, and Questions on moving from the Impact Zone, Shotgun Saturday Night venues, Stock's whereabouts, and how convention talents get paid

Impact's November 7 and November 8 TV taping ticket sales will assist ODB in the loss of her food truck. Good to see them help her out.

Alexa Bliss will miss Ringside Fest due to an unforeseen personal circumstance. Becky Lynch is replacing her. I wish Bliss the best, and am glad WWE was able to make a substitute.

Jerry Lawler appeared on College Gameday in his Batmobile.

Lance Storm is joining WWE as a producer. It's unknown what brand he will be on, but his final training day with the Storm Wrestling Academy is November 29. I'm curious how he'll fit in there.

Ali made light of WWE's tough travel day. Genius.

John Cena is set for talk show appearances this week to promote "Playing With Fire."

Smackdown drew 2.54 million viewers Friday night. That's impressive given the circumstances. I'm curious how much of that audience will check out NXT.

Batista pulled out of Rhode Island Comic Con due to a close loss.

NXT's Matt Martel of Ever-Rise suffered a concussion recently.

AEW has signed Shanna, who wrestled on Dynamite this week.

NWA apologized for Jim Cornette making controversial remarks regarding an individual's death. NWA is well aware of the things this man says frequently, but basically as long as he "has a good vision for their project" they're going to keep using him.

Court Bauer spoke before MLW's first PPV.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
Nothing to add to 1, as I'm not familiar with this.

2. Impact has deliberately moved on from that venue as part of the rebranding itself from past regimes and eras where the company ran there regularly.

3. This was part of making a show with a different look and feel from other current wrestling shows.

4. She's been a coach at the WWE Performance Center for the past four years.

5. The bigger names get a flat fee for the time they'll be there. Talents who aren't as prominent give a cut of what they make to the promoter.

More wrestling tomorrow.
