Jackson speaks about the difference between wrestling in TNA and competing in MMA:
I’ve been telling everyone how hard training for wrestling is. Some of the best athletes in the world wrestle. Even going back and forth on the ropes hurts. It’s tough as hell, but I really have a lot of fun with it. You get to be a big kid again and entertain people. It’s what I love to do.

Tessmacher talks about how her TNA wrestling career helped her prepare for CBS’s The Amazing Race:
I truly thought being a professional wrestler and athlete was going to help a lot more than it did. In the end, being strategic and also having luck on your side is really what keeps you in the race. I think, at first, because of our appearance teams wanted to target us. We are pretty, loud, and all around amazing. I would want to target us as well. But, most then realized that Rob and I were directionally challenged and not the brightest of the bunch and forgot a lot about us as a threat. However, sometimes that can be a strategy too!

Bodhi discusses his WWE career:
Working with WWE was awesome and awful all at once… Being there was realizing my childhood dream and for that I will always be grateful to Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis… Getting to perform in front of sooo many excited fans at Smackdown and on the live events is an indescribable high! The glitz of Smackdown TV was awesome and made me felt like I was a rockstar but wrestling at the live events was more me because my producers would let me be me and the fans got everything I had!

Jericho talks about how his WWE career influences his acting career:
I would love to do more acting. Obviously when you work in the WWE as a wrestler you act and I’ve played a character for years. I enjoy that and love playing a part or character, so that is the one thing I would like to do more of for sure. I haven’t wrestled in the WWE since September, so I have a lot more time to do some of these things that I’ve always wanted to do and I think that acting is next on my list of something I want to get more experience in.

Gowen discusses the highlights of his WWE career:
It was certainly a dream come true. I had signed a three-year contract with the WWE, but stayed for just over a year, and every day of the year I was with the company was like waking up into a fantasy. Two weeks before making my debut on TV with, Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper and Vince McMahon, I was packing groceries at a local store in my hometown. To go from that to the grandest stage of them all was nothing short of amazing.

Steiner speaks about competing in the tag team division of WCW in the late 1980’s to early 1990’s:
After a while it all started to sink in going to WCW and the WWF at the time, looking back it was an honour to be in the ring with The Freebirds, The Road Warriors, Doom, The Skyscrapers. There were a lot of good tag teams back then, tag team wrestling was an exciting element of the show they put on and we were just fortunate to be around in an era when tag team wrestling was still considered a main part of the show.

Masters speaks about being released by WWE:
I don’t mean to mention names but people like JTG and a hand full of other guys and you think, your going to keep this guy but your going to get rid of me, I don’t want to sound bitter, every situation is different. Like I said, I was under the impression this was going to be my year and I was really going to bounce back from all the trails and tribulations of the last four years and that’s why it came as such a surprise when I did get the phone call telling me I was no longer needed.

Batista discusses his top accomplishments in WWE:
My biggest highlights were winning tag team gold with Ric Flair on two occasions, then of course winning my first World Championship in 2005 at WrestleMania 21 against Triple H is up there. Another WrestleMania match, even though I lost, was against The Undertaker in 2007 and that was probably the biggest match of my career.

Guerrero Jr. talks about being a part of the cruiserweight division in WCW:
People had never really seen that style of wrestling, that wasn’t just flying but was wrestling and brawling and just different stuff that I really attribute to bringing in Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero. They all came from Japan, they had been in Mexico, they had been in ECW, those three had been everywhere together and were used to wrestling all those different styles.

Backlund speaks about his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame:
I think it is going to be one of the most exciting nights of my life; I’m really looking forward to getting back into Madison Square Garden. I have made 72 appearances at Madison Square Garden, every one of them was an experience that I’ll never forget and I think this is going to be the climax of all those appearances.

Sammartino gives his thoughts about his two WWE World Title reigns:
In those eleven plus years that I was champion I wrestled all over but some of the most memorable matches that I had were against the likes of, Killer Kowalski, Ivan Koloff, Don Leo Jonathan, Dr. Bill Miller, Gorilla Monsoon, and Hans Mortier who was also European and the list goes on. I had some big matches in Japan against Shohei Baba and we fought for over an hour many times, I wrestled guys in Australia, Mexico, and Spain.

Santana talks about winning the WWE World Tag Team Titles in 1979:
My wrestling career got moving very quickly, I never would have expected to have gotten to New York as quick as I did especially when I didn’t have a wrestling family and I didn’t know anybody in wrestling when I got into the sport. My father wasn’t a wrestler I just came in, there were people that I knew like Terry Funk and Tully Blanchard but to get to New York and then to be teamed up with Ivan Putski that was a big shot in my arm, then we won the titles in Madison Square Garden, and whenever you do anything in Madison Square Garden it is an unbelievable feeling, and my career went from nothing to the top overnight.

Devon speaks about working with the young talent in TNA:
It was so easy because these guys wanted it just as bad as anyone else did. To be able to have talent like that, and they were willing to get in that ring and give it one hundred and ten per cent and do what you ask of them for the sake of the business, the product and the fans it was a win win situation. That is exactly what went on at that time in TNA and I was very proud to be a part of the company at that particular time.

Kharma discusses being the third woman to ever compete in the WWE Royal Rumble:
It was extremely surreal to be only the third woman ever to participate in the actual Royal Rumble match after Chyna and Beth Phoenix so that is an historical thing. And with me being a woman of colour I could always say I was the first black woman to be in the Royal Rumble match (laughs).

Roberts speaks about working with Andre the Giant in WWE:
To have that opportunity, to have him go out there and do the job that he did with me I am grateful. By the time I wrestled him his health was failing, he couldn’t get around easily, he had trouble moving and it was damn near impossible if he was down to get him back up. Working with all of those things I was also very proud of myself and my work with him.

Rosey speaks about his most memorable moments while competing in WWE:
The table’s match against the Hardy Boyz and Spike and Bubba Dudley was great, I really enjoyed working our first PPV match against Booker T and Goldust. I thought it was pretty fun chasing that midget around Las Vegas on Monday Night Raw, there’s so many highlights I could probably go on for an hour talking about it but for the most part getting to wrestle against top names, working with Triple H, Kane, RVD the list just goes on and on.

Hardy discusses making his debut in WWE:
There were three or four years when we were no bodies, just being used for guys to beat us, and my thinking was I’m going to do something so somebody up there remembers me and that first television show with Matt and I as a main tag team was the pay-off. It was a huge moment for me, it was wow we’ve succeeded, now we’ve got this opportunity we have to make the best of it.

Flair talks about his WWE retirement match against Michaels at Wrestlemania:
That night Shawn led the way not me, he wrestled for the both of us (laughs). I didn’t have a say with anything thing in that match which is a first, he actually had the balls to tell the Nature Boy to shut up and listen to him, they are big balls (laughs). The moment just before Shawn goes to sweet chin music me, and he mouths the words ‘I’m sorry’ that was just magical.

Porter talks about his most important moments in WWE:
I have so many but I would definitely have to say my very first WrestleMania wrestling the late Chris Benoit who was one of my in-ring idols, talk about surreal – a guy I used to watch on tape for years and then being on the biggest show in the biggest company standing across the ring from the guy I idolized. Wrestling Ric Flair at Madison Square Garden at the Royal Rumble was another career highlight and I’ve been fortunate to have quite a few but those two really stand out.
