WWE and AEW were covered on Last Week Tonight for their COVID-19 responses.

The Young Bucks' memoir has been moved back to November 17. It's unknown why there's a two month delay, though I wouldn't shock me if COVID-19 was a factor.

MLW Anthology will next focus on Mance Warner.

Paul Heyman posted a vintage photo with Michael Jordan. Wow!

The Brian Kendrick is on New Day's latest podcast.

Melina is on Lilian Garcia's latest podcast.

WWE Confidential episodes added to WWE Network span from August 2003 through April 2004.

Shad Gaspard went missing Sunday during a strong rip tide. His young son was rescued by lifeguards at Gaspard's request. A search was undertaken but ultimately called off. He really showed selflessness in that moment and I hope he does resurface. That's a tragic situation for that family.

- Author Joel Eisenberg wrote a long piece on Gaspard.

- MVP relayed a message from Shad's family.

Randy Savage got a Best Of special on WWE Network today. Asuka gets one Thursday.

MLW's Richard Holliday has signed a long-term contract to remain with the company.

WWE has trademarked "In Your House" and "Sister Abigail."

AEW's Casino Ladder Match will feature an unannounced competitor. Let the intrigue begin! I'm not sure that would be the best place to debut Drew Gulak given his style, but we'll see what they have in mind.

WWE's vice president of global television production has left the company. Michael Mansury gave notice several months back and has now finished up. He was seen as a successor to Kevin Dunn and a big part of Triple H's team. As such, his departure leaves a notable hole in the hierarchy.

WWE has surpassed 60 million YouTube subscribers. That's a very impressive number. I expect it will be talked about on the next earnings call.

WWE's Ghostbusters action figures are now available.

Martha Hart discussed her relationship with Bret Hart and more with The Wrap:
- There has been criticism Bret put the spotlight on himself and his own issues during Owen's passing. That's echoed here.

- It continues to look like Martha will never give WWE her blessing to honor Owen.

Ken Shamrock has been removed from Impact's World Championship contendership tournament as a result of the Michael Elgin attack angle last week. Ace Austin will replace Shamrock against Rhino. Shamrock vs. Elgin at Slammiversary could definitely be interesting.

Martha Hart discussed WWE with CBS Sports:
- She's seen as one of the biggest villains in wrestling for her stance on WWE honoring Owen.

- WWE's stuntwork was hardly exemplary on that date.

- Hmmmm… I wonder how much of WWE's side of things will be presented in that VICE episode.

- WWE not having a building for the Hall of Fame is honestly kind of a weak criticism, though it is clearly a financial vehicle for them.

- The lawsuit sounds like a worthy story in of itself.

The Bella Twins are on the Sunday Night Main Event podcast.

WrestleMania 34 aired in Puerto Rico Monday night, so other networks are using WWE content to fill scheduling gaps.

Championship Wrestling from Arkansas has shut down. They will now offer their library for free.

Andre The Giant was profiled in The Telegraph.

Owen Hart merchandise is now being sold on Pro Wrestling Tees to benefit The Owen Hart Foundation. These are available for a limited time. That's not going to sit well with Martha's critics.

Raw has announced Andrade vs. Apollo Crews for the United States Championship.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It's usually promoted online, but they don't want to do too much to draw attention to shows on other networks.

2. Generally shaking up "the casts" for WWE TV gives them a short-term boost, whether they're from another brand or another decade. But, yes, ultimately it only changes a tiny bit of things. If you didn't like Raw a month ago, I don't see how adding one guest from Smackdown will change that.

3. Honestly I've never heard one way or another, but I would expect they could extend her deal since she's unable to fulfill her duties.

4.a. Chris Jericho has generally brought down the quality of AEW. He's very out of place with the young, fresh roster in a similar way that top current music festivals don't feature acts recreating their glory days. From a backstage perspective, it's unquestionably Cody who stepped up to the plate during the Georgia tapings from a quality standpoint. Jericho has had a lot of fun staying in the spotlight, but Cody has built the company's foundation with the TNT Title tournament.

4.b. It's a little tough to compare anyone in WWE to Cody's role at the Georgia tapings. Certainly from an on-screen perspective, Drew McIntyre and Asuka deserve positive press. I'd add Seth Rollins, MVP, Otis, and R-Truth as well.

5. Generally those deals were in place before they signed with WWE and are only for designs that were created then. There are a few exceptions for people who aren't getting much merchandise of their own.

More wrestling coming up.
