Sports Vibe interview
Kim talks to Sports Vibe about TNA transitioning back to a six-sided ring.
People don’t like change. I was fortunate enough to wrestle in that ring before so I knew it was going to take time to get used to. We’re still getting used to it. But honestly, we left it to the fans and it was certainly an overwhelming decision. I think it makes us different but at the beginning when we got it back, we could feel it physically on our bodies. Luckily, we have a great ring crew and we addressed the issue by working on it for us. It’s great now and it’s just a matter of getting used to where you are in the ring. I honestly think in a couple months nobody will realize.
This is Infamous interview
Cesaro talks to This in Infamous about Dolph Ziggler and the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
Well I think Dolph has done a great job elevating the tile just because he is a very good in-ring competitor. He’s never as good as I am, which is why I think I should be the Intercontinental Champion. If you look at the Intercontinental Champion, historically that has always belonged to the best of the best in-ring talent, the best wrestler, whatever you want to call it, that came out night after night, produced night after night, and that will be me. So I think rightfully the Intercontinental Championship should be mine from Smackdown, and I’ll go into Hell in a Cell as the Intercontinental Champion.
Wyatt Cenac interview
Cenac appears as a guest on Conan to promote his upcoming comedy tour. He also talks about having a show at the same time as Dave Chappelle’s show, and meeting O’Brien at a luxury car show.
You were like “hey, stranger, take a photo of me” and then you were like “let’s get a photo of the two of us together”. So we took a photo and we didn’t really know each other. Like “hey, look at this fancy car that neither of us own”.
Tenacious D interview
Tenacious D appears as a guest on Conan to promote their upcoming music festival, Festival Supreme. They describe festival’s Halloween-inspired rides and show some of the costumed characters at the event.
Seriously, anyone who’s watching us right now in Tallahassee or Timbuktu, wherever you are, I urge you to get a plane ticket and come.
Neil Patrick Harris interview
Harris appears as a guest on Conan to promote his latest film, Gone Girl and his book, Choose Your Own Autobiography. He also talks about his sex scenes on film and on stage, and shares some childhood memories, including kissing two girls at the same time.
It’s random stories of things I have done. I have these crazy chapters from Doogie Howser, to Doctor Horrible, to Barney Stinson to opening the Tony’s, to having babies, and making out with dudes.
Kat Dennings interview
Dennings returns as a guest on Conan to promote the latest season of 2 Broke Girls. She also talks about her idyllic childhood in the woods and being a somber goth as a child.
It kind of was if you want to break it down. We lived on top of a hill in a place called Bryn Mawr, which is now more built up. It was in the woods on a hill, there were deer. There were no other neighbors. There was weather.
WWE.com interview
Triple H talks to WWE.com about Hell in a Cell matches and his own experiences in the cage.
Hell in a Cell changes your life… not just your career. You’re not going to walk out of it the same way you walked into it, if you walk out of it unassisted.
Sam Roberts interview
Ambrose is a guest on the Sam Roberts Wrestling Show to discuss if Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns being injured has created an opening for him in the main event scene in WWE.
Injuries are always unfortunate and sometimes if things are spread a little thinner, you might have to put more work on your plate that night because the show must go on. I’m not trying to take anyone’s spot in the business. I’m trying to have my own spot that no one can take because it’s my spot, it’s my thing. I’m trying to do my thing, not really worried about where everybody else is. But stuff happens and you just have to roll with the punches.
Dana Carvey interview
Carvey returns as a guest on Conan and gives a variety of celebrity impersonations, including Liam Neeson, as well as Presidents Bush, Clinton, and Obama. He also improvises a song about the flugelbone in Neil Young’s voice, and talks about being friends with President George W. Bush.
He’s my buddy. It’s very interesting going on — by the way, this is an ISIS-free zone. If you are ISIS, please exit. It’s interesting to think of the dichotomy. Because Obama clearly was rough on him when we had to go back. He just wasn’t very enthusiastic. He’s up there going, we’re going to — we’re going to head back with our strategic partners, coalition, forces.
Cristin Milioti interview
Milioti appears as a guest on Conan to promote her television show, A to Z. She also talks about almost getting run over by a bus with her face on it, and being bullied n school for her unique haircut and unusual retorts.
I had gone to a summer camp and the cool girl at summer camp had a buzz cut. Then I went home to New Jersey and I wanted one and my mom took me to a salon and they were like, she wants to what? And they did it. And I showed up to middle school like that. What’s up, guys? Ready to hang. And they were not nice.
NBC News interview
Mukpo discusses the effects of his battle with Ebola and his travels to Liberia in an interview with NBC News after being declared free of the virus.
I mean, there’s definitely some physical effects of this that I think are gonna last a while. But I can feel my strength coming back every day. And, I mean, there was a period of time that I was quite sick. And, you know, I was laying in a hospital bed and had no strength. Had various pains. And — and just all kinds of fun stuff going on in my body. I mean, I think it’s important in life to take risks for things that you believe in. But it’s also important to keep yourself safe. So, I mean, it’s hard to call Ebola a learning experience. But I think that I’m gonna walk away from this with some important lessons for the future.
Addresses ‘vial of blood’ rumor
Thornton explains the ‘vial of blood’ rumors that circulated while he was married to Angelina Jolie. Thornton is questioned about the vial while speaking at Loyola Marymount University’s School of Film and Television.
[A] vial of blood is very simple. Angie came home one day with a kit she bought. You know those lockets you buy that are clear and you put a picture of your grannie in it or something like that and wear it around your neck? That’s what it was. She bought two of those. We were apart a lot because she’s off making Tomb Raider and I’m making Monster’s Ball. We were on opposite ends—we see each other for two weeks and whatever. She thought it would be interesting and romantic if we took a little razorblade and sliced our fingers, smeared a little blood on these lockets and you wear it around your neck just like you wear your son or daughter’s baby hair in one. Same thing. From that we were wearing quart jars of blood around our necks. And we were vampires and we lived in a dungeon. I think it’s your duty to kind of tell people the truth about this stuff and the truth is not encouraged anymore.
Between the Ropes interview
Hardy talks to Between the Ropes about working the independent scene and being his own boss.
This is the most fun I’ve had in wrestling because there’s no pressure, there’s no stress. And I’m not afraid to tell people no. If someone says “we want you to do this” and I’ll go that’s OK, I’m not interested. There’s people that contact me all the time with decent offers and I’ll go I’m not interested. I really am my own boss and it’s nice.
Sportingnews.com interview
Jericho talks to Sportingnews.com about his latest autobiography and why it will appeal to current WWE fans.
This is the first of the books that I’ve done where most of my fans can almost follow along with the bouncing ball because they were there when it happens. They can kind of go back and relive their own experiences of reading these things or and being to go I remember when that happened, I remember when I saw that. It’s the first time that’s happened so I think a lot of people are really able to put this into their own experience because it’s only from the last six, seven years that these stories have been written, even up to the return at the Royal Rumble last year where the book ends. Whether you know all of the stories or some to them, you can relate to your own personal experiences as well.
Liverpool Echo interview
Dallas talks to the Liverpool Echo to discuss NXT and what is special about the brand.
NXT, the developmental system in the WWE today, is so different and so much bigger and better than it’s ever been before. The production values that go into the developmental system and into the NXT show are not much different than Raw and Smackdown. You really get the opportunity to try things yourself and really find yourself. The intimate crowd that NXT has, with the same people coming back, it’s almost like a family.
How to Start a Startup 9: How to Raise Money
Altman interviews Andreesen, Conway and Parker in the ninth How to Start a Startup lecture, How to Raise Money, at Stanford University.
Shape Magazine interview
Knight talks to Shape Magazine about her workout routine.
Right now we lift three to four times a week. One to two of them are circuits, like body-weight exercises and lighter weights. And then in the summer, it’s more heavy lifting about four times a week. When we get to the season, we just play and do some maintenance.
Casey Wilson interview

Omega talks to Under the Mat radio about his time in WWE and how Japanese fans would react to TNA.
Not to knock TNA but there’s too much hokey talking and segments that don’t really involve wrestling. Of course everyone in TNA speaks English so if there’s an angle going on they won’t be able to understand it. TNA has a talented roster but when I looked at it seems as if everyone was rushing it’s like the time is given to the talking and when it happens in the ring everyone rushes to the finish. In Japan it’s the opposite when you talk make it quick and tell your story in the match.
Joe Perry interview
Perry appears as a guest on Conan and talks about some difficult moments during his time off from Aerosmith, including selling his rare 1959 Les Paul, which ends up in the hands of his good friend, Slash.
I knew it was getting in the way of our friendship. I said “I will never ask you about it again, man. If you ever want to sell it back, just give me a call, whatever but I won’t bug you about it”. And at my 50th birthday, Cheap Trick was playing. They came in to play. And I sat in with them and in the middle of the set my guitar tech walks up and hands me this guitar. And it was the guitar and Slash gave it to me.
