-Former WWE creative team member Court Bauer appeared on the Grantland pro wrestling podcast. He shared stories about creative's role in the Royal Rumble, answered some rapid fire questions, and retold the hilarious story of the WWE Hall of Famer who ran away in fear of pyro. You can check it out at espn.go.com/espnradio/grantland/player?id=7524009.

-A blog on the Wrestle Reunion website noted that the convention may not return to Los Angles next year. Although nothing has been set in stone, the promoters cited poor attendance and a frustrating experience with the Westin Hotel staff as the reasons for why they may not come back.

Powell's POV: Court has joined us on members' audio on multiple occasions and is always a fun and insightful guest, so I definitely recommend listening to his appearance on the free Grantland podcast. Meanwhile, it's unfortunate that the hotel didn't have its act together, as the person who wrote the blog noted that they liked the hotel's layout, but there were problems with reservations, breakfast quality, and staff attitude. I guess I know where I won't be staying if I make a trip to Los Angeles.
