WWE will have a conference call at 11 AM Eastern to discuss their fourth quarter earnings for 2015.    It is the highest recorded revenue in company history, so they have a lot to be happy about.  We will have complete coverage of the call.

Good Morning America featured a piece this morning on Bryan Danielson's retirement while FOX 5 in New York had a piece on the Titus O'Neil suspension.

WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin discussed Bryan Danielson's retirement in an interview with ABC27 in Harrisburg, PA at this link.  On Danielson, Austin said, "It’s a hard pill to swallow when you have to walk away from something that you truly love.  That’s a guy who worked his tail off and the system was against him, he wasn’t the guy that was the chosen one. And because the fans believed so much in him, they had to make him the chosen one.”  Austin noted that it would be a process for Danielson to come to terms with retirement and said that when he was done, Paul Orndorff told him there was life after wrestling.  Austin shot down the idea he would wrestle at Wrestlemania 32 during the interview as well.  You can watch the complete interview below:
