With so many being vaccinated and Hollywood resuming production, has there been any sign of Netflix reversing their GLOW cancellation?

Sadly, nothing of the sort has been announced.  Netflix opted to drop the series despite initially picking it up for a fourth and final season, citing COVID-19 related issues with having such a physical, intimate show produced.  It's a shame as the show and its audience deserved closure.

What is the end game for the new Alexa Bliss character?

There is no clear indication yet.  Given the "supernatural/voodo/evil" element, they could go as wild as they want obviously, if they choose to go that route.  For example, it could be she's going to manage the "live" version of the doll or it could be just something that is used as a storyline device.  Certainly, they want to capture the popularity of the Bray Wyatt Fiend character in terms of merchandise, specifically action figures here.

What is the Diamond Mine in NXT if you had to make a guess?

My guess would be that Diamond Mine is more likely some sort of offshoot brand or concept to introduce new talents.  We know that they've been trying to develop a new brand for the NXT division.  This could be it.

The Macho Man Biography made me think of a silly question.  Other than the Spider-Man movie, was  Spider-Man was actually ever a wrestler? 

The comic book character, before he became a super-hero, made money in professional wrestling. He was actually leaving a match after a promoter screwed him on money and being screwed led to Spidey choosing not to stop a robber that later took off with the promoter's box office money.  

The same robber later killed Spidey's Uncle Ben, leading to the immortal line "With great power comes great responsibility", which has been the character's mantra from day one.

All of this is in his original comic book origin story from Marvel's Amazing Fantasy #15.  The story has been reprinted countless times and shouldn't be hard to find.

Any update on Gerald Briscoe?

He's recovering from his knee replacement surgery.  He's a tough SOB and has been updating fans via his Twitter account.
