Emma once again worked as a special referee for a women's tag match
at a live event this weekend. Maybe she'll be Charlotte's next
challenger? I could get behind that, although Emma is generally better
as a heel.
Mark Henry beat Epico this weekend at a live
event. Primo wasn't in action. I would be surprised if they had Henry
come in for the weekend just for live events.
The
Bella Twins are on the cover of the most recent Muscle & Fitness
magazine. That's great for them as promotion for "Total Bellas." WWE has
connections with M&F as a promotional vehicle, so we'll continue to
see regular appearances by WWE names there.
ROH will return to Atlanta on January 14.
A
number of local Georgia wrestlers worked the recent ROH show there,
either competing or as security or members of The Cabinet's entourage.
That could lead to them getting more formal ROH tryouts.
Punisher
Martinez (or whatever they're going to call him now) beat Will Ferrara
in Georgia, so presumably that's the continuation of this weekend's ROH
TV angle (airing on Comet Wednesday).
Matt Sydal
missed the most recent NJPW tour due to passport issues. We'll see if he
gets that sorted out in time for future events in Japan.
The official Mega Man account shouted out T.J. Perkins
for his new entrance. It was really cool. Smart of them to put him over
for the homage instead of pulling a PBR and ripping him for it.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1.
That would be short-sighted. Football season returning, fall TV season
returning, and so much WWE content in a week wearing fans out all share
some blame here. The presidential debate will hurt Raw's rating, too. I
definitely wouldn't blame Owens for it. All those things are out of his
control, and tough for anyone in WWE to combat (including Creative and
Management).
2. He should have developed more in
NXT before coming up to the main roster. They called him up just to have
another big "night after Mania" debut, and their lack of planning
showed. The assumption that he'd get over just because of his pre-WWE
audience and athleticism was a flawed one, and they need to move away
from assuming indie/international cred will fly with the audience at
large. Apollo's talented, but they need to be able to turn that into
something more than his impressive offense.
3.
That's just what happens when you BO LIEEEEEEEEEVE! Seemingly it's a
case where they wanted to push Bo regardless and didn't let that stop
them.
4. Max Moon, who was Konnan in costume at first, but Paul Diamond in the ring. Those were the days...
5.
If she keeps doing what Management tells her to do and impressing in
those roles, her chances are good of getting more TV time. If they think
she's the best choice to push as champion based on that (and would
rather focus on her than the more recent NXT callups), she'll get the
title.
More wrestling tomorrow.
