Big E is on "After The Bell" this week.

ROH got press for their COVID precautions

WCW performer Johnny Meadows has passed away following a positive COVID-19 diagnosis. Best wishes to his family.

Ken Shamrock's Impact Hall of Fame induction will air during Countdown For Glory. I wonder what things look like for him after facing Eddie Edwards.

Deonna Purrazzo has signed with Impact. It would have been pretty embarrassing if they had another titleholder leave. She's got an opportunity to really build herself there.

WWE's Superstars in Training has been nominated for a Streamy Award in the influencer campaign category.

Mick Foley, Bayley, Murphy, and Jey Uso will be on "The Bump" before Hell in a Cell.

Quibi, which featured WWE's "Fight Like A Girl" series, is closing down. It's unknown if that series will continue in another place.

Joey Janela missed Dynamite due to wrestling a talent who tested positive for COVID-19. Respect to AEW for taking precautions.

Bobby Fish promoted NXT with Wrestling Inc. 

UK's Nadia Sapphire discussed the Speaking Out movement

Eric Young promoted Bound For Glory with FITE.TV.

OVW has partnered with Qatar Pro Wrestling. Very interesting direction!

Terry Funk has joined Twitter

Full Gear has added:

- Jon Moxley vs. Eddie Kingston in an "I Quit" match for the World Championship

- Matt Hardy vs. Sammy Guevara in an Elite Deletion match

- FTR vs. Young Bucks for the Tag Team Championship

Halloween Havoc has added Cameron Grimes vs. Dexter Lumis in a Haunted House of Terror match. NXT's starting to get on the hokey side. 

Dynamite has announced:

- Cody vs. Orange Cassidy in a lumberjack match for the TNT Championship

- Kenny Omega vs. Rey Fenix in a World Championship contendership tournament match

- Hangman Page vs. Wardlow in a World Championship contendership tournament match

- Inner Circle Town Hall with MJF

- Tay Conti vs. Abadon

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

1. It would definitely make more sense taking place then, and offer more ways to create a new beginning. It would still be kind of watered down given how much crossover there is in a year, though. 

2. I definitely think there's a lot to be said for someone achieving success and relevancy. 

3. "Overall" includes matches from 2019, as well as things like gauntlet matches that aren't included in the other rankings.

4. Yeah, it's clearly aimed at a more casual audience that followed years ago but doesn't know about Dark Order or Jungle Boy.

Nothing to add to 5.

More wrestling tomorrow.
