HHH honored, Interviews with Foley/The Snake, more ROH tournament competitors, ROH exec at Elimination Chamber, Blood & Guts match participants, AAA press conference coming, Paige working family promotion, Elimination Chamber merchandise note, and Questions on Elimination Chamber's importance, The Fiend's goals, HoF setup, AEW's novelty, and an alternate Taker match

Triple H was presented with the Arnold Classic Lifetime Achievement Award this weekend. Very cool.

Mick Foley spoke to TMZ about his favorite WWE gimmick. Interesting answer!

ROH's Pure Championship tournament has added Josh Woods. Fitting.

ROH's Women's Championship tournament has added Heather Monroe.

ROH's Cary Silkin visited at Elimination Chamber, reuniting with a lot of familiar faces.

The Blood & Guts match will feature Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, and the Proud 'n' Powerful vs. Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks, Cody, and Hangman Page.

AAA will have a Triplemania press conference Wednesday.

Paige is set for her parents' UK promotion from July 3 through July 5.

Jake Roberts spoke to Bill Apter after Dynamite.

Elimination Chamber had NBA and NHL team inspired local merchandise. That's a good move.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1.a. TLC actually didn't have either the WWE or Universal Title on the line, though the Universal Champion was in action that night. The last PPV with neither the WWE Champion nor Universal Champion in action was Elimination Chamber 2018.

1.b. Some of it does feel like filler. Super Showdown was more important.

1.c. Getting revenge on John Cena from years back is more important than getting another title match. He might not have another opportunity to face Cena. That doesn't mean he doesn't care about the title.

2. We're still far enough out that that hasn't been determined. It's notable NJPW names are set for the Pure Championship tournament.

3. Hopefully they do the stage again after what happened last year.

4. There's still some level of novelty with them not running certain markets yet, which is why Blood & Guts should draw such a big house. I think once Matt Hardy, Brodie Lee, and The Revival (?) end up there it stands a chance of being seen as at its full (current) potential rather than still being the new player in town.

5. Not really, honestly. Maybe if you switch Bryan with Aleister Black, given the current angle between Black and AJ. And frankly I think AJ can get a passable match out of Taker by himself.

More wrestling tomorrow.
