The JBL situation has continued to get more and more mainstream media attention. There was an article in the New York Post this morning. It has become a big talking point locally in Fairfield County, CT where WWE HQ is as well. As I wrote a few weeks ago, I didn't expect WWE to make any moves or comment on the situation unless it started to pick up momentum in the mainstream press or with their corporate partners. It appears that momentum has started.
As an aside, Justin Roberts couldn't have timed his book to come out at a better time when you think about it, as all of this is only help fuel attention to his book.
WWE has continued to add more Primetime Wrestling episodes to the VOD section of the WWE Network. No updated episodes of TNT, despite being mentioned in a recent email vlast sent to Network subscribers. I am sure that is coming.
