WWE Planning For A Queen Of The Ring Tournament Next Year?

HBO Coming Out With A Kenny Omega Documentary In 2019
Well, a Canadian musician Joseph Shabason did an interview with the Kreative Kontrol podcast with Vish Khanna and he talked about his involvement in a Kenny Omega documentary that's coming out in 2019 and here's what he had to say (transcript via wrestling news source):
"I just finished a documentary about a wrestler. That’s going to be coming out on HBO in the New Year, which is going to be really exciting.
It’s a wrestler named Kenny Omega. He’s a wrestler from Winnipeg, but went to Japan and formed this tag team called the Golden Lovers, which was sort of like the first ever queer storyline in wrestling. He’s a pretty incredible dude; I was really happy with scoring that."
This is huge considering that he's not a WWE employee and I'm not the biggest Kenny Omega fan but I cannot wait for this documentary to come out.
Vince McMahon Loves Corbin As Acting GM Of RAW.
Baron Corbin was recently a guest on Booker T's podcast along with Brad Gilmore called Heated Conversations and during the interview, Corbin talked about how Vince loves him as acting GM of RAW (transcript via WrestleZone):
It’s a great opportunity and I love the challenge. I want to be able to do that every single week and fill it and people hate me for it and I love it. They despise that I’m on their TV six or seven times a night and that’s the best thing for me because then they’re following everything I’m doing.
If they hate me that much, they’re following everything I do. If they hate me that much, then they’re following everything I do and it’s just awesome, but it’s very exciting in a nervous way. It’s intimidating, but that’s what I do. That’s why I am good at what I do. That’s why I’ve always been successful because I’m really good under pressure."
Eric Bischoff Talks About His TEDx Talk Last Month
Eric Bischoff talked about his TEDx talk last month (which was very good by the way. Click here to watch the whole thing) in an interview with sports illustrated. Here are a few highlights:
About his speech: “I had an entirely different talk laid out until the night before, and I woke up early in the morning and decided on the spot that I was going to completely change it up. Since I had so little time to prepare for it, I improv’d a lot of that, and it reminded me so much of the way we used to do some of the best promos we ever did.”
About the challenge of capturing an audience: “This was something I’d never done before, and I felt like I needed to get out in front of a live audience.” “It was a unique challenge and I have no plans to do it again, but never say never.”
The Rock Reportedly Was Going To Win This Coming Royal Rumble
Yes, you read the title correctly. Wrestlevotes on Twitter stated the original plans for the Universal championship match at Wrestlemania:
Well, I hope you're caught up with the news and let me know your thoughts on the news I just reported. Follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions and stay safe smarks.Rumble tidbit: Plan at one point was for The Rock to win the Royal Rumble & face Roman Reigns at Mania. That’s obviously not happening. Can Rock still win it & face Lesnar? I guess. Depends what kind of agreement Rock and WWE have. Once plans changed, Rock may have reconsidered.— WrestleVotes (@WrestleVotes) December 8, 2018
