Booker T.'s latest podcast discussed a King Booker movie, WCW using Dennis Rodman and Karl Malone, and more.
Ric Flair will be on "Broken Skull Sessions" April 12. That should be a blast.
Coronavirus-related wrestling updates:

C.M. Punk is on Jensen Karp's latest podcast.
Kofi Kingston spoke to Maria Menounos.
EVOLVE has streamed EVOLVE 141 and EVOLVE 142.
Teddy Hart has been released from jail again. It's unknown why. I really hope that decision isn't regretted.
Brock Lesnar was profiled on ESPN. He's very much a one of a kind athlete.
Wrestler Nor Diana made Forbes Asia's 30 Under 30 list. Very cool!
A wrestling art magazine's launch was covered by New York Times.
Rikidozan was covered in a grad school project.
FS1 will air "WWE 24" documentaries on WrestleMania 31, WrestleMania 33, and WrestleMania 34 before Backstage Tuesday.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
Nothing to add to 1.
2. With only ten people in one location at one time, it would relatively easy to figure out who was leaking what.
3. WWE is filming a lot of behind-the-scenes content during this time, so I think we'll see some glimpses into what the show could have been. Frankly I think we'll know a lot of the original plans within a few weeks.
4. I'd say it's like Undertaker's WrestleMania streak staying intact despite not appearing on WrestleMania 2000.
5. Hahahahaha no. Only essential staff attended. Even Stephanie McMahon wasn't there.
6. Yes. The show is still happening.
Nothing to add to 7.
More wrestling coming up.
