What a "Ring of Fire" match entails, Interviews with Rhodes/Henry/Ziggler/Trish/Sandow, Reks does a good deed, Impact audience, and Questions on WWE PPVs on free TV, Summerslam cash-ins, NXT, and RVD in TNA

The current plan for Summerslam's Ring of Fire match is that the ring will be surrounded by fire (presumably on the ring apron like in an Inferno match). Apparently Wyatt and Kane don't have to set their opponent on fire to win the match, though. I think the fans are going to be disappointed if no one gets set ablaze (as they probably should be). Either way, that's certainly a cool gimmick that hasn't been watered down like seemingly every other gimmick match WWE has done.

WWE.com has a big interview with Cody Rhodes about growing up around WCW. Pretty cool stuff. Ask the Young Bucks/Generation Me how seriously WWE takes the hand-shaking thing. The stuff about punching people in the face when they say that wrestling is fake was pretty funny. Big Show was "Giant" in WCW, hence the Gant joke. I wish I would have seen Goldust's work in WCW without the crazy gimmick.

The former Tyler Reks met with a fan who has a rare disease. That's pretty cool, especially how they met. It looks like he missed Reks' run on the ECW brand.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Mark Henry talked ahead of a special "back to school" event in Texas.

Dolph Ziggler talked to BetweenTheRopes.com. Here are some highlights. It seemed pretty obvious to almost everyone outside of WWE brass that he should have been used better leading up to him winning the World Title again. I do think the question can braised as to whether he puts himself through much (ditto for a lot of stars), and I also think that the faction with Big E and AJ could have gone further. That said, it's clear that a lot of people were ready to cheer Ziggler (partially because of the feeling that someone who worked so hard was being "held back").

Trish Stratus talked about how yoga helped her wrestling career. She's still in great shape.

Damien Sandow talked in South Africa after the Orton attack. Pretty basic stuff.

Impact Wrestling drew 1.18 million viewers on Thursday. We're now back down to where we were before Destination X. SABIN DOESN'T DRAW, BROTHER  is presented as someone lucky to be World Champion and less important than Angle, Sting, the Hogans, Bully Ray, and Tito Ortiz. By the way, all of the shows of Sabin's Title reign have outdrawn Rampage Jackson's TNA debut. Maybe they need to re-evaluate who they push?

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I've never seen anything about it other than the WrestleMania specials on NBC. They make a lot of money on PPVs.

Nothing to add to 2.

3. So YOU'RE the one buying TNA's PPVs. I don't see WWE doing two cash-ins in one night, but you never know. Either way, not buying a PPV because the awesome matches you're looking forward to could lead to cash-ins sounds pretty ridiculous. Then again, this is someone buying TNA PPVs over WWE PPVs, so I don't really "get" his or her thought process.

4. There are also less than legal ways of finding NXT online, but I shouldn't promote them here.

5. Let's see: wins TNA Championship within a month of joining the company and holds it for 4 months, faces old rivals Sabu and Jerry Lynn as well as Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles, wrestles on a bunch of PPVs, wrestles in Japan and Mexico, and holds the X-Division Title for a number of months at the end of his run. All this as a part-time guy who hit and passed 40. Yeah, they definitely did wrong by RVD in TNA. It can be argued that they didn't use him as well as they could have, but to say that it was "the worst possible bungling" is ridiculous.

More wrestling tomorrow.
