Interviews with Fishel/Keith/Moose/Gargano/Travis Banks/indie promoters, MLW postpones show, Lawler restaurant returns, released name teases retirement, MITB preview on FOX, Kross-NXT update, indie promoters discuss COVID, more on Taker Network series, WWE Shop selling face masks, big names on Raw, Smackdown match set, and Questions on Becky's whereabouts, Smackdown's history, and Jericringe

Danielle Fishel-Karp is on New Day's latest podcast.

Keith Lee is on Lilian Garcia's latest podcast.

Moose spoke to PWInsider.com about becoming TNA Champion and more:
- Honestly I love that direction and think they could have done it even if Tessa didn't miss the tapings.

- Frank discussion about the previous corporate eras. I don't think a 360 turnaround means what Moose thinks it means, though.

- Eric Young returning to Impact is worth a shot to change things up.

- I'm not really calling for a Mr. Anderson return, though.

- Right? Moose is the fighting champion right now.

- Using more TNA elements isn't an awful idea. Impact really feels stale in some divisions.

MLW has moved its June 12 Illinois event to June 5, 2021. It's notable to me that ROH isn't rescheduling their shows for future dates. They're clearly being very cautious.

Jerry Lawler's Tennessee restaurant has reopened with social distancing rules in effect.

Lio Rush teased his wrestling career is over. That's got to be seen as a surprise given how young and talented he is. I hope he has other avenues to explore if this is the end.

Stephanie McMahon is launching a new digital series on women in the business of sports for Female Quotient.

Johnny Gargano spoke to The Mirror before NXT. I really don't expect Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch to be NXT regulars, nor is that a wise move when their star power is more needed on the shows a lot more money is being paid for.

AEW announcer Dasha Gonzales will compete on "The Titan Games." So AEW is promoting The Rock's show. Pretty wild!

FOX is airing "WWE's Greatest Ladder Matches" Saturday night, a two hour special. That's a big get to promote MITB!

Karrion Kross will wrestle on NXT this week. His accomplice is just known as Scarlett at this time. I'm interested to see how he does.

NXT UK's Travis Banks spoke locally.

Independent promoters discussed the effects of COVID-19. The silver lining is that none of them are thinking of shutting down.

The Undertaker's WWE Network series will have five episodes.

WWE Shop is selling face masks to benefit AmeriCares. I like this as a charitable move.

Raw has announced Edge, Randy Orton, and Becky Lynch returning to the show. Becky is set to confront the women's MITB winner. Smart to load up the post-PPV episode.

Smackdown has announced Sonya Deville vs. Mandy Rose. I'm curious if that will have a rematch at MITB given the timing.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. WWE would get slammed for doing anything with "fake fans" or otherwise having bogus reactions. I don't see it happening.

2. Raw is making a habit of cycling in and out key attractions for when they're most meaningful and can be advertised in advance. The goal is for it to be special when you see the top names rather than them being there just to be there. Instead the focus has been more on emerging talents, which is what critics have been asking for.

3. The most popular choice is Ali, given the symbol he's associated with. We'll see what comes of it when it progresses into the ring. I'm not crazy about it, but it is something different and somewhat relevant.

4 and 5. AEW as a whole has been better with the Georgia tapings because Tony Khan took the reins and wrote a wrestling show instead of a lot of the talent going out there and doing things to pop themselves. Chris Jericho has been a key exception to that. Jericho is one of the few talents there who is a legitimate TV draw and frankly he can phone it in a lot more than he could in WWE because he's far and away the most over talent. I see why he took breaks to keep things fresh in previous runs. I wish he would do the same here.

More wrestling tomorrow.
