— WWE.com posted some photos of Daniel Bryan’s injuries from last night’s debut of NXT. Bryan did a suicide dive, and was slammed into the announce table by Chris Jericho. That looked like it hurt and it really showed with the red marks.

— As noted yesterday here on the website, WWE has reportedly purchased the Ultimate Pro Wrestling video library. The California-based UPW — which is now defunct — was often used as a training ground for prospective wrestling talent as it was stepping stone in the development of many past and present mainstream performers including John Cena, Samoa Joe, Chris Masters, Tara (a/k/a Victoria), Christopher Daniels, Jon Heidenreich, The Miz, Melina, Sim Snuka, Mike Knox, SoCal Val and ECW’s formerly infrequently seen backstage announcer Lena Yada.
