Super Showdown legend update, WWE travel problems, Interviews with Lawler/Love/Buddy, new ROH matches, WWE signings, NBA team holding WWE night, AXXESS note, Raw audience, NXT name getting another surgery, Raw talent gets black eye, PWG tributing Kobe, new NWA theme, and Questions on HBK turning on Jannetty, AJ's injury changing the Rumble, and Edge being cleared

Sting was considered for Super Showdown, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen now. It could be that Goldberg is replacing him on the show, as Goldberg's Smackdown appearance will lead to something at that event.

WWE wrestlers and staff were delayed in leaving Raw due to the blizzard in the area.

Jerry Lawler is on Stone Cold's latest podcast.

Supercard of Honor has added Kenta and Taiji Ishimori vs. Jeff Cobb and Dan Maff.

Free Enterprise has added Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham vs. Jeff Cobb and Dan Maff. If Maff and Cobb win or the match goes to a time limit draw, the team will get a tag team championship match.

Angelina Love promoted Free Enterprise. Women Of Honor could really use some revitalization.

WWE has officially signed Timothy Thatcher, who has begun wrestling at the WWE Performance Center. WWE had made him offers previously. I've seen that name a lot so I look forward to seeing what he does for WWE.

NBA's Pistons will hold a WWE Night with Cesaro on February 20.

WrestleMania AXXESS has added Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and X-Pac. Hogan will be by himself while the other nWo members will be available as a group.

Raw drew 2.17 million viewers this week, down from last week.

Karen Q is undergoing another surgery. I hope she's able to recuperate.

WWE has signed Aja Perera to the WWE Performance Center.

Buddy Murphy discussed Edge's return and more.

Natalya got a black eye on Raw.

PWG's March 29 event will be called Kobe.

NWA Powerrr's new theme will be Pantera's "I'm Broken." Surprised they're paying that kind of fee for a YouTube show.

Killer Kross has officially signed with WWE. I look forward to seeing him work some more.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I don't think that one angle going differently would have drastically changed him to the point of being a top wrestler as a worker or a character.

2. It was the NWA if anyone's wondering.

3. Drew was still going to win but it did look like they were planning AJ vs. Orton at WrestleMania, so I'm curious how the night after Royal Rumble would have gone for Edge.

Nothing to add to 4.

5. It sounds like it's a case of it having been enough time that he can take some bumps here and there without putting himself in too much danger, as it was more of a case of the schedule wearing him down than anything. I expect he'll almost exclusively wrestle on TV and PPVs rather than touring, so he should be able to avoid a lot of what got him in the shape he was in.

More wrestling tomorrow.
