Network adds more languages, Fury challenges WWE Champion, AEW preview show note, Collective update, and Questions on Hurt Business, no one being bigger than WWE, Vince 2020 running WWF in the Attitude Era, using Scarlett without Kross, and Sonya's future

WWE Network has added Spanish and German feeds to a significant number of WWE PPVs from 1995 through 2015. I don't know how well that will increase subscriptions, but in theory it expands the product's reach.

Tyson Fury challenged Drew McIntyre. That would be a significant match, and I would be very surprised to see it happen in Thunderdome instead of in front of a major crowd. I don't think Fury would come in without a big payday.

Countdown to All Out will air an hour before that show's Buy Out. 

Game Changer Wrestling's The Collective has announced Joey Janela's Spring Break 4, Bloodsport, SHIMMER, and Absolute Intense Wrestling. Good to see a good amount of content there.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:

1. I've really enjoyed them. They all complement each other well. I hope to see more instances of talent being paired in a beneficial manner.  

2. IF that's true, it's a case of them not wanting someone to be more important than the brand. They want to have a WWE Universe following the product, not just certain names on the show. 

3. It's tough to say either man (or others) would have broken out like they did if Vince handled things as he does now. I would be very surprised if WWE wasn't around, though. With their history and resources, it would be very tough for them to disappear. 

4. I don't see any reason to use her with anyone else, since people will inherently think of Kross when they see her. Now, if he's going to be out a long, long time, that's another case altogether, but I don't expect that's the case. 

5. Yeah it sounds like she'll come back with a different name. I mean, technically "Sonya" left WWE, so Daria or a new identity could use that as a technicality. 

More wrestling tomorrow.
