Jerry Lawler talked ahead of Raw 1000.
Variety looked at social media in WWE. Stephanie McMahon was in the piece.
USA Today talked about the show, too.
Ted DiBiase returned at a Smackdown live event that also included FCW's Xavier Woods (known in TNA as Consequences Creed).
Here's another look at social media and Raw from ESPN.
Everything else from Monday is after the break.
For my take on PWInsider.com's Monday questions:
1. They had reported earlier that there was talk of Cena being the first guy to cash in and lose (which they were right). I agree that Punk winning was better for the long-term. Cena's already a really big star and doesn't need to be holding a title.
2. That's actually a cool idea, but it would kind of reopen Cena vs. Lesnar when all eyes need to be on Lesnar vs. HHH.
3. I don't know if there's enough to Cena vs. Rock to last another 3 matches unless they add some stipulations. Even then, I think they should have Rock face some other opponents.
4. I think they're trying to bring the name back to relevance. Between some relevance from years ago and no known name at all, some would go with the organization with decades of prestige. It looks like other indie promotions are doing better with newer names.
5. I do think the spot is used a lot, but a lot of "big" moves are on the indies since they're more based on big spots.
Dolph Ziggler talked ahead of Raw 1000. He's right about the older guys still having value. It's all in how you use them and elevate the next stars.
Here's another anti-TNA rant from Joey Ryan. This is really starting to not be news.
TVLine.com also covered Raw 1000.
WWE Diva AJ talked to Mark Madden.
JR talked about Raw.
Here's a look back at Raw 1 as EW.com looked ahead to Raw 1000.
Bully Ray and Devon's TNA contracts are set to expire in a month or so. I'd hate to see Bully Ray leave given the roll he's on. Devon also works hard. Both are in negotiations to re-sign, but progress has been slow.
More news when I'm able!
