Well, definitely. I will not do a lot of travelling because I’m tired, but I will do some. Yes, there will be a DVD and probably be video games featuring me.

I agreed to do some of those.

Steve Austin Show interview
Storm is a guest on the Steve Austin Show to discuss his time with WWE and meeting Stone Cold during the Invasion story line.
When you first joined the Invasion and they announce you’re the one jumping ship to join us and my gimmick is Mr. Serious. No smiling, laughing or nothing. Then you come up to me and say, “Damn it kid, give me some fire out there this is a big deal!”

I do an annual contract every year and the rumors start right around January.

Shortly afterward there were conversations (with WWE) just by happenstance but nothing official.

The thing I did when I started was that I watched the top guys. I watched you. I watched Triple H. I watched The Rock. I watched Undertaker.

Ventura talks to WeWantInsanity.com about politics, Linda McMahon and running for president.
When I ran for governor, I only raised $300,000. And that’s a statewide race, like the senate. I only raised $300,000. I made more money doing the job. The job of governor paid $120,000 a year. So I made $480,000 for the four years and I only spent $300,000 to get the job. If I would have had that money, I’d be the President. You give me that much money to spend on an election and I’ll be President.
The Temple News interview
Bryan talks to The Temple News about his recent success in WWE and Nigel McGuiness.
When I go to Target and see my own action figure, it makes me feel stupid because I’m not doing anything different than I was before. It’s just that I’m on TV … I’ve wrestled in front of less people than this in a room smaller than this and when I walked out, instead of people chanting ‘yes,’ they just stared at me in apathy,
Comcast interview
Orton talks to Comcast about his future in WWE and the diva’s division.
I wouldn’t say I’m WWE for life, I’d say my near future will consist of me primarily being in the ring,” Orton said. “Wrestling is my first love. The movie was fun, but the schedule was grueling because I had to fly off on my off days to film. Eight weeks went by and I had three days off. If I do the movie thing, I’ll be sure that I’m only doing the movie so I can concentrate on it. (Laughs) I think I’d be more sane that way.

That’s what you get when you step in the ring with me. I’m always taking it to the next level. I don’t want to ever intentionally hurt someone, because it is pure entertainment.

The guys that have got in the ring with me … they have to step up their game because of the intensity. I don’t have a governor switch … it’s wide open and you better hold on.
