Yahoo Sports interview
McMahon talks to Yahoo Sports about Susan G. Komen and WWE facing competition.
think competition is always healthy, but what we look at as competition is everything out there —all entertainment and sports programming because we really are such a unique hybrid — there’s nothing like us in the world. Monday Night Football is a competitor to Monday Night RAW. Yes, I think competition is incredibly healthy, no matter where it comes from.
CBS DC interview
Jericho talks to CBS DC about when he will return for another run in the WWE.
Over the last four of five years my schedules and dates surround Fozzy, and WWE has kind of been not as much of a priority. I still love doing it, but I realize it’s not something I’m going to be doing forever. I realized that years ago. To go back for the European shows, Roman Reigns got hurt, there was some injuries and I always enjoy working overseas. So, it’s kind of just a quick little run. Other than that I don’t know. When this Fozzy tour ends, whenever that may be, if I have time available and the WWE has something interesting for me to do.
The Talk interview

Rolling Stone interview
Reubens discusses bringing back Pee-wee with the release of the Blu-Ray edition of Pee-wee’s Playhouse in an interview with Rolling Stone. Reubens says that a new Pee-wee movie will be announced soon.
It’s been months and months of being right on the verge of being announced…I thought something was going to go public yesterday, actually, and that you’d be the first person I’d be talking about this with. But I’m thinking there will be something made public very soon. It’s going to get made shortly after the new year. I wish I could tell you about it right now, because…I mean, it’s amazing. It’s going to be amazing. It think it first got leaked four years ago or so that the movie was going to be made, and ever since then it’s just been stalling and stalling. So I’m really ready for this to happen. But I’m not kidding: It’s very imminent.
Taylor Swift interview
Swift reveals that she is afraid of sea urchins and being framed for a crime, while promoting her album 1989 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Look at me, I wouldn’t survive in jail! I think it comes from the fact that I could … look at my phone and see any headline written about me at any time, and it could be the most ridiculously untrue thing.

Bloody Elbow interview
Ross talks to Bloody Elbow about UFC Fight Pass and the WWE Network services being the future of the industries.
They are going to be able to control their destiny – good, bad, or indifferent as far as the television product is concerned. I think what they have done is show a lot of other networks what can be accomplished by building your own digital network. I think we will see more various entities follow the WWE model. They may learn from the WWE’s mistakes, as with any business, and see where they fell or fumbled.
Digital Spy interview
Snow talks to Digital Spy about TNA returning to using a six sided wrestling ring.
The six-sided ring is not that controversial to me. I don’t know what the controversy is. It’s two more sides. I think it’s a great identifier for TNA. You’re flipping through the TV channels and you see it, it stands out. It looks different, catches your attention. It might captivate somebody to watch for a few moments, and who knows, we may have another audience member.
New York interview
In a wide-ranging and detailed interview with New York magazine, Andreessen talks about Silcon Valley culture, discrimination, his favorite TV shoe (Deadwood), and the ideal of meritocracy:
I believe the ideal is compromised by two things right now: One is educational skills development, and the other is access. This is the critique that I think is actually the most interesting, which is, yeah, the meritocracy works if you know the right people, if you have access to the networks. How do venture capitalists make investment decisions? Well, we get referrals based on people we already know. Well, what if you’re somebody who doesn’t already know anybody, right? What if you don’t know the recruiter at Facebook so you can’t get the job? What if you don’t know the venture capitalist so you can’t raise funding? We think access is broadening out the network so that everybody who could contribute can get access to the network. And that’s the one that we’re working on.
Health interview
Michaels discusses health at 40, leaving Biggest Loser, and sexuality in an interview with Health. Michaels says she is in the best shape of her life.
As I’ve gotten older, I’m like, ‘I refuse to accept aging as a descent into decrepitude. And the irony is that at 40, I’m in better shape than I’ve ever been. There’s a confidence and sense of self that comes with age that I didn’t anticipate.
Daily News interview

They showed a clip where my character is in the bathroom and I take my top off. It’s on public television and that’s the clip they showed. When they showed it I was expecting the audience to react, but they were like, ‘Whatever. It’s just boobs.’
Mix Philadelphia interview
Rollins talks to Mix Philadelphia about The Shield’s place in history among other legendary wrestling factions.
The Shield was only around for..what? Two years? And we did A LOT in 2 years. I think the fact that people even take those 2 years and put them up against the reputations of those other groups really says a lot about what we were able to accomplish in that short period of time…It’s definitely something, two years I’m very proud of and I’m happy to say we certainly left a scar on WWE.
Hollywood Reporter interview
Woodley shares her thoughts on losing ones virginity in an interview with Hollywood Reporter while promoting her new film White Bird in a Blizzard. Woodley talks about how she tries to make the moment real for the viewer.
One of the things I have been very keen on in doing those scenes is that they feel real because, I don’t know about you, but I do not personally think losing your virginity is a fun experience. It’s not glamorous — for some people, I think it is, but it wasn’t for a lot of people on this planet — so for me, it was a matter of, if we’re gonna do a scene that deals with that, it’s not gonna be, ‘Her back arches and she gasps in excitement.’ No, no, it’s gonna be messy and it’s gonna be real.

It’s really hard to try to do multiple things as a startup… You have to just focus on one tight little thing and then you can expand from there, but until you have users telling you, This is the best thing ever…you really can’t expand the service
Cellmate: Kassig is scared but hopeful
French journalist Henin, who shared a cell with Kassig, says he hasn’t given up hope despite ISIS’s threat to behead him:
If you have no hope whatsoever, you just can’t survive. It was surely very difficult for him to have seen us leaving. But still it means that something is going on and something positive so it helps … but then to see people taken off the cell to be killed must … be extremely hard.
Popsugar interview

The Rack radio interview
Kane sits down with The Rack radio show to discuss acting and his favorite Hell in a Cell moment.
Well, my favorite would have to be, of course, my debut and ripping the door off and going in and giving a tombstone piledriver to The Undertaker and having Vince (McMahon) screaming ‘That’s gotta be Kane!’; that would far and away have to be my favorite moment.
Anthony Anderson interview
Anderson returns as a guest on Conan to promote his television show, Blackish. He also talks about offering his crotch as a tee at a charity event, turning partially vegan, and his mother’s use of Vagisil for first-aid treatment.
She’s always been little left of center. Growing up in my house, you know, most people get sick, their mother gives them Robitussin, you know, aspirin. My — we got cuts and bruises, my mother would give us Vagisil.
