Flair update, Waltman update, Cena gets press, Orton wants to be heel?, Interviews with Dixie/Rock, Foley's inductor, Former ECW Champion back in TNA?, new Mania title match, Raw audience, and Questions on Cesaro, Hogan at the top, Punk vs. Taker, and questioners

Ric Flair has returned home and is expected to follow up with a doctor following his blood clot scare. I continue to hope for the best for the legend.

TMZ.com has posted video of Sean Waltman's accident from the weekend. OUCH.

The CBS affiliate in Philadelphia covered John Cena's "Donovan McNabb" comments. That was a pretty good promo from him.

Randy Orton fueled speculation that he wants to be a heel on Twitter. It seemed like we were in for Sheamus vs. Orton at one point. I think I'd keep him a face for now. There needs to be a good story and plan in place for a character to change alignment.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Dixie Carter talked ahead of Impact Wrestling in Jonesboro, AR. Hogan looks like he did back in the day? Uhh, no. He looks like he's about to be mummified. And there have definitely been times where Knockouts haven't been treated with class and respect, calling each other "bitches" and the like. Fun story about Jeff Jarrett.


Mick Foley announced Al Snow as his inductor into the WWE Hall of Fame, then revealed that he was joking and that Terry Funk will induct him. That'll be cool. Funny video.

There's been some talk about bringing Bobby Lashley back to TNA. If he's there to wrestle and not just try to get back into MMA, I might be ok with it. I was always impressed with his wrestling skills. Big, strong guy.

The Rock talked about his workouts. He's dedicated for sure.

Wade Barrett vs. The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship has been set for WrestleMania. I hope that delivers. I think they have to top Monday's match since it's a major PPV.

Raw was up to 4.62 million viewers. Thanks, Rock.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. You can definitely make the argument that he's not a worthy champion given some of his losses lately. I wonder if he can say "jobbed out" in 5 languages? They really need to do a better job protecting some of their undercard stars.

2. If they absolutely HAD to put the title on Hogan, that's about the only way that it'd be "acceptable". That said, it's still going to go down as a "Vince Russo" or "David Arquette" moment in my eyes. This scenario is like "yeah, you're going to break your legs but at least your wheelchair will be pimped out".

Not really much to add to 3, other than that wouldn't have been as exciting as what we're getting now.

4. Vince probably prefers Langston to Cesaro since he's huge and not one of those "indie" guys.

5. There are definitely some "oddballs" out there. I don't really give tons of thought to their questioners. I just answer things pretty much as I see fit. The Molly Holly guy is a special case, though. I do think there's a possibility that he's obsessed with her given the number of questions about her. I'd love to be wrong, but I can't completely erase the possibility.

More wrestling tomorrow and a Blue Echo podcast up later today.
