NXT+WWE live event notes, Interview with Angle, and Questions on watching TNA in 2016, Shane facing Taker, Cena at WM32, NXT at Mania, and Bryan in the HoF

Some NXT live event notes from Florida:
- Mojo Rawley won a singles match. Zack Ryder was not on hand. I think Mojo works better in a team, but he'll need to work singles matches at times on the main roster, too, so this was good.

- Tough Enough's Josh Woods teamed with Noah Kekoa in a win over Blake and Murphy. B&M losing to a team that's not been on TV is surprising.

- Rich Swann teamed with Tucker Knight in a loss to The Revival. That could be an interesting team given the size/power difference.

- Chris Girard wrestled Sawyer Fulton to a no-contest when Girard was busted upon hard-way trying to leap over the top rope. Hopefully he's OK. He was impressive in his first NXT TV match.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

ROH PPV notes, more between ROH and NJPW, more on TNA seeking investors, Former ECW Champion opening wrestling school, former Diva married, ROH dark match, and Questions on BalorxBayley, Ricochet in ROH, Nakamura's future, using social media to get over, and Puder getting destroyed in the Rumble

ROH was very happy with the 14th anniversary PPV. There was definitely a lot of fast-paced action.

- The show was a legitimate sellout. At least someone in ROH knows how to sell things.

More ROH names are expected to sign with NJPW. The working agreement between the two sides means ROH can still use those names when in-between NJPW bookings, without paying them the amount they'd have to pay for a full-time ROH contract. It also lets NJPW restock their roster after the big departures. That's great for everyone... as long as ROH and NJPW are on good terms.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Superstars Reax - 2/26/16, NXT live event notes, Shane training for the ring, WWE coming back to Japan, Interviews with Shane/Bennett, Smackdown audience, TNA TV home coming to new platform, TNA tag star has surgery, former announcer on the Network, Bryan at AXXESS, top names for March 14 Raw, TNA looking for investors, TNA DVDs of two top alumni, and Questions on Shane coming back as an executive, what Titus is missing out on, AJ vs. Jericho, Gary Hart, and live events

Superstars:
Summer Rae becoming a wrestler again is out of nowhere, but I'm glad we're seeing it. Not a bad promo.

- Summer vs. Alicia:
Summer's solid in the ring. I wish we had seen her more.

Summer's a good character. I like her psychology here.

Nice work from both wrestlers.

I liked that match alright. I hope we see more from Summer. And Emma, too, while they're at it.

- Ryder vs. Stardust:
Stardust is a lot of fun. I hope he doesn't transition into something less interesting.

This is pretty good so far. I love seeing some of the undercard names in action in longer matches than they'd get on Raw or Smackdown.

I liked Ryder trying to make the most of his Broski Boots.

I liked that well enough. I kind of want to see Ryder team with Mojo a time or two on Superstars to see how that goes for them.

ROH 14th Anniversary Reax

Read on for my thoughts on last night's ROH PPV.

TNA's next tapings, another WWE site update, Interviews with Woods/Styles, more matches for ROH taping, big present for Nakamura, Khali injured?, Impact and NXT previews, Bryan appearance set, another date for Shane, Former ROH Champ vs. former TNA/IWGP Champ at WWE's MSG show, and Questions on Shane returning leading to a big change, the next step for NJPW talents to WWE, WWE opening up to the wrestling press, HHH screwing Vince at Mania, and ROH attendance

TNA's next tapings are planned for March 12 through 15 in Orlando. They'll tape Impact Wrestling and One Night Only shows then. I assume Jeff Hardy will be back for those events.

WWE has updated WWE Shop to fit the look of the rest of their website.

Xavier Woods was interviewed by a Spanish outlet. El Nuevo Dia? 

ROH has announced the following additional matches for their next TV taping:
- The Young Bucks vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi/Michael Elgin
- reDRagon vs. Kazuchika Okada/Gedo
- RPG Vice challenge for the ROH Tag Team Championship
- Silas Young vs. Dalton Castle in a Fight Without Honor
- Jay Lethal vs. Hirooki Goto

ROH and NJPW are pretty tight. I can't really blame either side for wanting to share assets, though. Especially with the high-profile NJPW departures.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

ROH and Smackdown Reax - 2/25/16

Read on for my thoughts on yesterday's ROH and Smackdown.

Update on WWE advertising, Shane McMahon 101, Nakamura makes recommendation for Cruiserweight Series, ROH-Japan note, Goto's opponent for ROH PPV, Crockett charity for veterans, Lockdown audience, HoF ring-Pawn Stars update, Reigns off some live events, another Brock date, and Questions on HHH's legacy, the importance of the ECW brand, calling Bayley up, faces winning on live events, and action figures

Advertising for the May 23 Raw has been changed to calling the show "WWE Raw." For a few weeks, it had been listed as "Monday Night Raw vs. WWE," which could be an indicator of future plans for a brand split. Creative direction can always change before then, but there have been rumblings of splitting the roster again.

WWE released a video on Shane McMahon's history in the company, which makes sense considering how long he's been gone. There are fans who aren't familiar with his Attitude Era work, or even his later stints involving the rebooted DX and Legacy.

Shinsuke Nakamura told a Japanese news outlet he's recommended Kota Ibushi for WWE's Global Cruiserweight Series. I fully expect WWE to reach out to international talents more in the years to come as they expand to other countries with live events and the Network. The GCS is part of that.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
