MLW's Teddy Hart was at Wednesday's NXT taping. Pretty cool.

WWE Network's latest Hidden Gem is Georgia Championship Wrestling's June 11, 1983 event.

Carl's Jr. and Hardee's have WWE toys in their "Star Pals" meals currently.

WWE honored independent wrestler Jeremy Ganger for his heroism as a bouncer during an August shooting.

New Jack's memoir has been moved back to a January release.

Sasha Banks has been cleared to return to the ring, and will wrestle on this week's Smackdown. Glad to see it.

Cedric Alexander recently missed time due to a minor injury. Glad he's able to get back into the mix.

WWE has trademarked "Trent Seven," which is a good sign for the NXT UK star's future there.

Former ECW name Francine recently had surgery for a hernia. She's had a number of surgeries recently. Ouch.

WWE's lawsuit regarding Randy Orton's tattoo design is set to go to court June 1.

Kofi Kingston, Big E, Ali, and Apollo Crews were on "25 Words or Less" Thursday.

Diamond Dallas Page's Comeback Studios is helping with AEW production. Great to see so many connections being utilized.

Kenny Omega will defend the AAA Mega Championship against Dragon Lee at TripleMania Regia on December 1. Lee is a free agent, but in theory we could end up seeing the AAA Champion appear at Final Battle.

ROH's Caprice Coleman was visiting at Dynamite. I wouldn't blame him for looking at a job!

Arn Anderson did commentary on AEW Dark this week. Cool to see that show have special guests.

Jeff Hardy's next court appearance is December 5. I don't expect him to be on WWE TV before then.

Dynamite drew 822,000 viewers this week, showing a partial rebound from the World Series week episode. It will be very interesting to see how they do after Full Gear.

NXT drew 813,000 viewers this week, showing a significant jump after the "invasion" angles and Survivor Series involvement announcement. This was the closest the two shows had been since the Wednesday night battle began. At this rate we could see NXT pass AEW by the end of the year, which would be significant.

NJPW's Hiromu Takahashi has apparently been cleared to return for a number of months, but the company held off his return until the build for Wrestle Kingdom 14. They have some real discipline for long-term plans that you don't really see in the West.

NJPW's Saturday show in California will have live English commentary on New Japan World. I'm curious if that show, with Liger's final U.S. match, will eat into the Full Gear audience.

Kenny Omega is expected to challenge for DDT's top championship. He's still getting big opportunities outside of AEW.

MLW's first PPV had 700 fans in attendance. It's a crowded wrestling landscape right now.

ROH The Experience drew 250 fans, while ROH Unauthorized drew 300 fans. Yikes. The fact these shows went on while Survival of the Fittest was canceled shows just how bad those ticket sales must have been.

Dynamite drew 4,000 fans. That's the lowest crowd AEW has drawn. While it's still an impressive number in 2019 for a group that isn't WWE, it does show things have cooled off from the super hot start.

La Parka has had other surgeries after his scary dive. He is no longer in intensive care, which is a good sign.

The Lucha Bros have signed AAA contracts, so they will be exclusive to that company when in Mexico.

Marty Scurll is set to debut for The Crash on November 23. His ROH deal is set to end soon.

The former Santino Marella is Judo Canada's first official ambassador. Good to see him being able to push MMA forward.

NXT has some Full Sail dates booked for January, so they're not doing shows outside that venue just yet.

Aleister Black is missing some time due to a minor knee injury. I hope he's back soon.

Sami Zayn has had some issues with his shoulders lately, which is part of why he's been used as a manager. He's had some rough times with his shoulders.

Indi Hartwell has debuted for NXT as Samantha De Martin. She teamed with Reina Gonzalez in a loss to Santana Garrett and Jessi Kamea on the November 7 Florida live event.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It's WAAAAAAYYYYYYYY too early to consider him as world champion. TV Champion or something? Sure. But he shouldn't be near the top title picture anytime soon when they've got the likes of Omega, Moxley, Pac, Hager, Guevara, and Page there on top of the two men in the Full Gear main event. Heck, even some of the current tag team guys would be credible world champions before his name should be in the conversation.

2. A lot of apron bumps scare me, especially when the head is involved. The game of trying to top the previous big spot is getting scary.

3. THE NIGHT BEFORE HIS BIG COMEBACK MATCH BROTHER? THE HULKSTER NEEDS TO GET THE BAND BACK TOGETHER AND SHOW THE OC AND UNDISPUTED ERA THE 24 INCH PYTHONS JACK! Yeah, might as well do the nWo.

Nothing to add to 4.

5. He still pops up here and there but doesn't seem to take regular bookings.

More wrestling tomorrow.
