NWA launches new content, trademark updates, ACH back in the ring, legendary manager involved with new HOF, Final Deletion honored, Elgin working NOAH show, ATB note, assorted WWE and ROH press, and Questions on AEW working with NJPW, Koloff, Mickie, and Teddy-MLW

NWA announced a discussion series called "Powerrr Surge" as well as an ongoing segment called "Girl Powerrr" focusing on their female competitors.

Killer Kross has filed to trademark his ring name, which makes sense now that he's free from Impact.

Billy Gunn has filed a trademark for his son Austin Gunn's name. I'm interested to see what's next for Austin.

ACH is Atlanta Wrestling Entertainment's new top champion, making a surprise return last weekend after previously announcing he was quitting the business. I hope he builds consistent positive experiences.

JJ Dillion has been announced for the International Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame's board of directors. He'll be part of a February 8 meet and greet to benefit the entity.

Impact fans voted Final Deletion as the company's match of the decade. That's pretty significant, and bodes well for Matt Hardy returning to his Broken character.

Michael Elgin is competing at Pro Wrestling NOAH's January 4 event, facing Katsuhiko Nakashima.

Corey Graves indicated he has the final say on what gets discussed on "After The Bell," saying he won't cover things just because they trend for a couple of hours on Twitter, as he thinks most fans don't care about such things.

WWE Co-President George A. Barrios will be at Citi's 2020 Global TMT Conference.

PCO will attend NHL's January 6 Quebec game. Cool moment for him. He's had a noteworthy run.

WWE Backstage drew 97,000 viewers on New Year's Eve.

Johnny Gargano sent an encouraging message to a pediatric patient. He's a great guy.

Eric Young spoke in Tennessee: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

ROH uploaded Jushin Liger vs. Daniel Bryan in honor of Liger's retirement. Man, remember when ROH had matches that significant?

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I think we're still a long way from a relationship where NJPW and AEW regularly interact, especially in the United States. For now this is just a special occasion coming from Chris Jericho's significance.

2. Honestly given the average U.S. fan's geographic knowledge, that was probably the right move.

3. She tried out as a commentator, so it's possible they transition her into a different role.

Nothing to add to 4.

5. There was also the issue of him regularly appearing in the crowd at other companies' events, which MLW saw as him disrespectfully taking attention away from the wrestlers in the ring.

More wrestling tomorrow.
