Coronavirus-related wrestling updates, Cody trademarks WWE name, assorted wrestling press, Dynamite+NXT audiences, podcat notes, new Jericho trademark, new Dark Order member, and Questions on WWE autobiographies, Angle wrestling again, underrated promoters, and Velvet McIntyre in the HoF

Coronavirus-related wrestling updates:
- DDT's Peter Pan event will be rescheduled. It had been set for June 7.

- Insane Clown Posse has canceled The Gathering of the Juggalos. We're in a surreal time with juggalos taking health precautions!

- Diamond Dallas Page appeared on CNN to say he will not currently reopen his yoga studio despite Georgia relaxing regulations.

- WWE names are appearing in NFL's Draft-A-Thon to raise money for charity. Seth Rollins, King Corbin, The Miz, and Titus O'Neil are all involved.

Cody has trademarked "Cody Rhodes," so I would think he and WWE have worked something out for him to use that name again.

Ivan Koloff musical "Rockquiem For A Wrestler" will be streamed June 13.

Triple H has gotten a "signature" championship.

WrestleMania's Boneyard match has a commemorative plaque.

Dynamite drew 731,000 viewers this week, a decent jump from last week.

NXT drew 665,000 viewers this week, slightly down from last week.

Marty Scurll will be ROH's first podcast guest Monday. He's set to go into his backstage position, AEW, and more. An ROH podcast makes sense.

Dean Malenko is on the latest AEW Unrestricted podcast.

Mandy Rose is on Vickie Guerrero's latest podcast.

Chris Jericho has trademarked "Flim Flam," his latest hip, relevant meme.

Dustin Rhodes and Billy Gunn will be in a movie together.

The Dark Order has officially added Preston Vance. He's made a few AEW appearances and it looks like more are coming.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Honestly, Mike Chioda given his tenure there. And maybe Kassius Ohno? I expect a lot of the names involved still have chapters to write in the business.

2. I wouldn't rule it out if the right opportunity arises and he gets the itch again. I'm sure there's someone else he'd like to work with.

3. Vincent Kennedy McMahon. No one's done what he's done as long or on as big of a stage.

Nothing to add to 4.

5. No. I'd think she'd be more likely for the legacy wing.

More wrestling tomorrow.
