Interview with Alexa, another Finkel tribute, vintage Network content update, coronavirus-related wrestling updates, assorted wrestling press, and Questions on no-compete clauses, released stars' future, MITB DQs, and WWE profitability

Alexa Bliss spoke to Sports Illustrated regarding her eating disorder and more.

Stone Cold paid tribute to Howard Finkel.

WWE Network's WWF Superstars episode additions go from December 1992 to March 1993.

Coronavirus-related wrestling updates:
- WWE has a number of talents not from Florida staying there rather than traveling back and forth for tapings.

- Sports Illustrated covered the effects on indie wrestlers.

Zebra Kid was remembered.

The IWTV streaming service will feature Sendai Girls content as well as a joint series with Shimmer, Rise, and Smash Wrestling.

WWE referee Jack Lotz passes away at 86. PWInsider remembered his career.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. They're technically still under contract for those 90 days. A talent can waive that period if they so choose, and it's possible

2. I did a whole rundown of this. In short, I expect EC3, Rusev, and the Good Brothers to come out of this pretty well, and it wouldn't shock me to see some of the others have good runs post-WWE, too.

3. Well, they're usually caught vulnerable and by surprise and not really in the best position to do something like that against a fresh, motivated opponent.

4. Their TV deals are by far the biggest source of revenue. They could very well still have a record year now that they've made roster cuts to offset those missed shows.

5. I fully expect multiple released names to pop up in AEW, Impact, and ROH.

More wrestling tomorrow.
