With the Rock agreeing to wrestle at Entertainmentmania, have WWE contracted him in to a year long agreement or have they just taken his word?

I'm not going to say that Rock isn't a man of his word, because from what I understand he certainly is, but as a publicly traded company and a business, I would imagine WWE has made sure to put pen to paper and worked out some sort of contract with Rock for his appearances leading up to, and including Wrestlemania. 

What's the latest on TNA Knockout Daffney? Is she still with TNA? How is she doing since her injury in the ring? I read she had a concussion. 

Daffney's contract with TNA expired last month, and she has filed a lawsuit against the company regarding the medical bills she incurred as a result of her concussion while working for TNA. 

I noticed where some members of TNA including RVD recently toured the country of Japan. I know that TNA has been to Japan before. I didn't see any members of the Knockout Division. Did any of the Knockouts go to Japan as well? If not why not?

New Japan Pro Wrestling, the company that the TNA wrestlers appeared for, does not have a women's division, thus no Knockouts appeared on the shows.

What has been you impression of the improvement of LayCool's Layla? 

While it is still early, I think she should get serious consideration for Most Improved Wrestler Of The Year.  While her matches on Smackdown are often very short, she has shown tremendous strides in all aspects of her in-ring game from offense to selling to bumping.  She obviously has worked on getting better between the ropes, and it shows.  

With WWE signing former TNA Knockout Champion Awesome Kong do you see WWE reviving the Women's title belt? The reason I ask is that I see Kong eventually winning the belt someday and I for the life of me cannot see this very imposing and incredible figure of a woman being called a Diva? A Divas Champion to be exact. I wouldn't have the courage to call her a diva to her face. Would You? Awesome Kong: Divas Champion. What do you think? 

I don't see WWE bringing in a second championship for females, especially given the current size of the Divas roster.  While Kong doesn't fit the "traditional" definition of a WWE Diva, I don't see any issue with her holding that title.
