On his latest podcast Ric Flair said he wants to have one more match: "Most assuredly, and a lot of conversation. That talk hasn't happened, but could I do it? Absolutely. I'm in better shape now than I was when Sting and I wrestled the last match on Nitro. WWE won't let me do anything, even though I'm released. I understand, they have so much liability and I told them I would sign anything, but nobody wants me to die on their watch. I'd rather die in the ring. If I have to go. I'd rather not jump off the 19th floor or spend another 31 days in the ICU."

Chris Jericho says he lost money on his first wrestling cruise: "Huge success from a critics standpoint, huge failure from a financial standpoint. I lost a lot of money, six figures, but you're building your business right? Anytime you build something, you have to be prepared to spend money to make money. That's what we did. I lost a lot of money and we put hours and hours of work into it and I did something I said I would never do, which is become a promoter. I'm in charge of booking all the talent and paying the talent, especially the first cruise, I paid all the talent. It's not easy because everyone wants to get a great pay off and I also want everyone to get a great payoff, but I'm also going over what my budget is. The second cruise, the financial deal was reconfigured to where I recouped my loss and made money on top of that."

In one of the most horrible renaming moves I can imagine, the historic Staples Center in L.A. is going to be called the Crypto dot com Arena going forward. Ugh.

Jeff Jarrett praises Tony Khan for taking over AEW's creative: "ou know, hats off to all five of them, the four EVPs and Tony. Just because, to my knowledge, all of those (EVP) guys had only been talent. When you step into an office role, and executive role, I was lucky and blessed that I grew up the son of a promoter. So I got to sort of see both sides from a very early age. It ain't easy, it is not easy at all. Like you just said, the political landmines, and there's a lot of pressure. The thing that I hope at the end of the day, they're all four young guys. They take the in-ring product, their character, their presentation is the utmost importance, that's what got them to the dance. That's a slippery slope for all of those guys. It's very hard. This business creatively, especially is subjective. There are a lot of ways to do it right and a lot of ways to do it wrong. So I am glad to hear there was a turn in Tony's management style, that he sort of took the reins."

5:00 PM ET. A new video from Evil Uno is below.

Kenny Omega may need time off for shoulder surgery. (PWI)

Tribute to the Troops did 2.03 million viewers on Sunday with a 0.51 18-49 demo. (Wrestlenomics) Maybe they should air that instead of Raw, NXT or SmackDown. It did better than all of those shows do most weeks -- especially the first two.

To make a long story short Edge says it usually takes him 2-3 weeks to recover from a match. Maybe that's a good sign he shouldn't be wrestling any more, or at the very least, taking the bumps he does WHEN he does.

Speaking of Edge, Beth Phoenix talks about the new creative direction in NXT: "We all had a meeting of the minds to get together with this new directive, we are really trying to create characters that are TV ready to go to Raw and SmackDown. We have an important role in that, and that's bringing forward who are these people, who are these characters? They can come out and dress the part like a Tony D'Angelo, but it's our job to really get the audience engaged and asking questions and do what we can to make these characters and stories come to life. Not that we weren't doing that before. But I would dare to say the whole process has just been accelerated."
