The Taz Show's live post-Summerslam broadcast, which aired nationally across CBS Sports radio affiliates in every major market, is now available via AOD and VOD at www.TazShow.com.  I'd like to thank Taz for having me on.

Set for this Wednesday's edition of WWE NXT on the WWE Network is Peyton Royce vs. Sarah Logan and a tag match featuring WWE UK talents Tyler Bate & Trent Seven vs. WWE UK champion Pete Dunne & Wolfgang.

John Cena and The Bellas were all on The Today Show this morning.  Cena was hosting while the Bellas were promoting the return of Total Bellas.

Paul Jordan sent word that The South China Morning Post has an interview with former WWE superstar Ho Ho Lun where he discusses negative fan reaction, his wrestling school and his mother's current condition that brought him back to Hong Kong.  On his Cruiserweight Classic match, Lun commented, "I was a little bit upset afterwards, I felt it’s not the best match I’ve done. American style is totally different, so that first match is very nervous for me.  I see it on my Twitter – ‘Ho Ho sucks’. I said, ‘Yeah, I know’. It breaks your heart but I know it’s true. If I’m reviewing that match, I’d type the same thing on my Twitter.  But if they criticise me, that means they watched me. It’s better than people not watching me. It motivated me to get better."  Lun joked that he "fired himself" from his WWE job, choosing to return home to Hong Kong to help care for his ailing mother, who he described in the article as having memory problems and being unable to walk.
