Ken Shamrock's autobiography is due in August. That should be interesting.

Impact's YouTube channel has passed two billion views. That's wonderful!

Michael Elgin will compete at NOAH's March 8 event.

Natalya did a signing at Cricket Wireless before Raw.

Shelton Benjamin has signed a new multi-year WWE deal. He's on Lilian Garcia's latest podcast.

Mega Ran is on New Day's latest podcast, which covers Kofi Kingston's WrestleMania 35 storyline. That feels like forever ago now.

- Ran and Xavier Woods released a track.

Ron Simmons will appear on WWE Photo Shoot Friday. DAMN.

Doug Williams could work with ROH beyond Past vs. Present. He'd be great for the Pure title hunt.

Teddy Hart and Maria Manic released a now-private video discussing Hart's recent arrest, saying it was due to having steroids in his vehicle. Hart is scheduled for court on April 23. Notably he can't be bonded out of the Virginia jail as a foreign national.

MLW has signed Zachary Cooper.

Dana Brooke spoke to Hers Magazine.

ROH's 18th anniversary PPV has added Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham vs. Marty Scurll and Flip Gordon.

Rhea Ripley was scheduled for Raw. It looks like they're saving her response for NXT, which works for me.

New Jack's autobiography has been released. The Blue Meanie wrote the foreword.

Dynamite's May 27 episode will come from the site of Double or Nothing. Wow. They're running the same large venue twice in a week.

Elimination Chamber has added a Raw Women's Championship contendership Elimination Chamber match featuring Shayna Baszler, Asuka, Natalya, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, and Sarah Logan. I fully expect Shayna to win that one.

Dan Lambert spoke to The Wrestling Estate. He was VERY entertaining in Impact.

Tito Ortiz worked out at the WWE Performance Center recently as part of an introduction to WWE that could lead to the two sides working together. It's worth pursuing as a way to get eyes on WWE.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. No way. Absolutely no reason not to throw away Drew's big build for a "swerve" at Super Showdown. I'm not even sure what Cain's up to; I assumed him taking time off to have surgery so he'd be 100% but that doesn't seem to have happened.

2. I expect the Rogers deal to continue as long as it's beneficial for both sides.

3. The change has not been received well, so it's not a bad idea to change it back.

4. I could see a heel "invading" NXT and HHH needing to do something about it, setting up a Mania match. Not sure who would fit that role, though. Sheamus?

5. That would have fit in on Super Showdown, though that wouldn't be a pleasant experience with the temperatures there. There seems to be a gap on the calendar between WrestleMania and Extreme Rules where they could do something like that, but I don't see Vince wanting to do that match given how long he's resisted doing so at this point.

More wrestling tomorrow.
