Talk is Jericho interview
Ziggler is a guest on Talk is Jericho to discuss his ring name, The Spirit Squad gimmick and Kenny Dykstra.
He (Dykstra) came to OVW when he was 18 or 19 and he was showing me stuff and teaching me behind the scenes things that you don’t learn until you’re 35. I learned a lot from tagging with him.
U.K. Independent interview
Sheamus talks to the U.K. Independent about returning to Europe with WWE, losing the United States Championship to Rusev and enjoying how the match was aired exclusively on the WWE Network.
I obviously want a rematch. I want to prove I can beat Rusev. That’s important, we went back and forth the other night – it was a long night – but it was cool the way it was on the network. It was like the first of its kind, to broadcast that match on the network and it shows how powerful the network can be with so much opportunity and options that the WWE can put any match on there, anytime, anywhere, exclusively for the fans that subscribe to the network.
VOC Nation interview
Hall is a guest on VOC Nation Radio to discuss his children and a possible role within WWE.
I got to go to the Hulk’s birthday at Raw and, of course, the Hall of Fame was really fun. It’s really cool to be around these young guys and have these guys who are actively on the scene going, ‘Man, I grew up watching you. You’re the best’ and all that and I never get tired of hearing that so I would welcome that. I think that I have something to offer but right now I’m just trying to work on getting and keeping my stuff straight.
Common Interview
Common and Queen Latifah discuss the movie Just Wright, his album Nobody’s Smiling and his organization Common Ground on The Queen Latifah Show.
I wanted the teens to know that us older people had the same struggles. And the struggle continues
The Times interview
Knightley says she has no problem posing topless as long as the pictures are not photoshopped in an interview with The Times of London. Knightley discusses a set of Patrick Demarchelier photos that she did for Interview magazine:
I’ve had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it’s paparazzi photographers or for film posters. That (shoot) was one of the ones where I said: ‘OK, I’m fine doing the topless shot so long as you don’t make them any bigger or retouch.’ Because it does feel important to say it really doesn’t matter what shape you are.
Shortlist cover
Dornan appears on the cover of a November 2014 issue of Shortlist magazine. He talks about Fifty Shades of Grey.
Well, my wife is a brilliant, hugely understanding person, plus, she was an actress for ten years, so she’s aware of what it’s like. A lot of people would have had a sh*t fit at 30-something weeks pregnant, hearing, ‘Darling, we’re going to Vancouver this week for four months – we’re going to have a Canadian baby and I’m going to do a film where, for parts of it, I will be naked.’ That’s a tough pitch, but my wife is an incredible person.
Daily Star interview
Sheamus talks to the Daily Star about staying in shape and his dream match with a celebrity.
Hugh Jackman would be a good fight. I’m a big fan of his and I know he’s a fan of WWE – he’s been to see the shows a couple of times. I think he’d be great in the ring.
Reassures fans
Iwata addresses public concerns about his gaunt appearance post-surgery via Twitter.
I saw many worried comments over how thin I’ve become. The truth is that after a major operation, I lost weight, but during these past two and a half months, thankfully my weight has stabilized, and I’m progressing well. I would truly like to thank my doctors, the hospital staff, and everyone who has assisted me.
The Talks interview
Palahniuk gives an interview to The Talks. He discusses how the world is getting better, his life compared to his fiction, and how he gets people to tell him their darkest stories.
I call it using a little fish to get a big fish. I find one story, one anecdote that I find really fascinating and I will introduce that into conversation. And each time I tell that one small anecdote, there will be someone who has a similar experience from their life, but much more extreme. People compete when they have conversation, they want their input to build on the previous contribution. So, the strange anecdote that I throw out, which is sometimes something from my own life, is instantly eclipsed by an almost identical but more extreme version from someone else’s life. Then a third person will jump in and eclipse that anecdote. I’m recognizing these common events that link people in pretty much everyone’s lives, and I’m looking for the most extreme versions of those.
WWE.com interview
Christian talks to WWE.com about the experience of WWE pay-per-views.
Its unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. The action, the pyro, the music and not to mention the superstars are bringing their A-game because they know what’s at stake and its about stealing the show.
Ross Report interview
Dillon is a guest on The Ross Report to discuss the NWA, WCW and breaking into the wrestling business.
I started as a fan as you mentioned. My dream was to someday become a wrestler. It was back in the day before wrestling schools and there was no easy way to get into the business. Ended up, I was a referee on a part time basis and didn’t get to wrestle until eight years into that.
Chad Dukes interview
Hogan is a guest on the Chad Dukes Wrestling Show to discuss his regrets and Bray Wyatt.
He fits in that grey area, and I’m gonna put myself over, that I started when I turned bad guy, Hollywood Hogan and people cheered me. It just showed the fans, whether you’re good guy or bad guy, they’re gonna cheer who they love and like to watch perform and I think he kinda broke down that barrier again. At first I was like ‘Oh man what is this guy doing,’ and then I started watching him and with the mind games and the rap and basically how good he was in the ring. I remember one pay-per-view he wrestled Daniel Bryan in the opening match, was like a year or so ago, nobody could follow that match. It was the first match of the pay-per-view and they tore it down. Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt. And I said this guy’s gonna be red-hot.
MediaPlay 2014 interview
Highfield is interviewed by Douglas at Media Playground 2014 conference. They talk about the death of print, going mobile-first, the long-running spat between the regional press and the BBC and the future of local journalism.
You need to get digital growing pretty rapidly to make up for print decline. We are getting to that digital tipping point.
Switches party
Carson switches parties, changing from Independent back to Republican on Election Day and files paperwork in his new home state of Florida.
It’s truly a pragmatic move because I have to run in one party or another. If you run as an independent, you only risk splitting the electorate. I clearly would not be welcome in the Democratic Party, and so that only leaves one party. Fortunately, the fit is pretty good. I believe in reasonable sized government. I believe in personal responsibility. I believe in individual freedom. And I believe in creating an environment to let free markets grow our economy. And all of that is very consistent with being a Republican.
GQ feature
Jones is featured in GQ magazine. She talks about meeting Stephen Hawking, filming Theory of Everything at a college, and rumors of her being in The Amazing Spider-Man.
Although our parties were much more debauched. Like, people rolling around on top of one another on the lawn.
The Talk interview
Jenner chats about the aging process and her divorce from Bruce:
It’s not an easy thing I think that you chose to do things…..like I went through a divorce a long time ago with Robert Kardashian and it was not fun. It was so scary and I was so young and I had four kids and then we ended up being best friends. You can chose to do things in a real grown up way and be friends through something and make it so that everyone around you is comfortable and happy.
Miami Herald interview
Jericho talks to the Miami Herald about his latest book and resentment from younger stars toward part time wrestlers.
There shouldn’t be (resentment), because I can come back there and outwork any one of those guys on the roster. When I come back though, I come back to work as many shows as I can. I don’t just come back for TV and pay-per-view. I work with everybody and have great matches. So I don’t think anybody has any issues with Jericho coming back. I think they are actually looking forward to it. If I was coming back and couldn’t do my job, then I would absolutely see why they don’t want me there.
Press conference
The team announces Maddon as their manager.
At the end of the day, unless we are aligned perfectly it’s not going to work. It just can’t work. That’s the way the game has evolved to this point. The autocratic manager of yesteryear has gone. It’s not just about one guy any more…to be philosophically aligned with these guys is important to me.
The Talk interview
Barr chats about her 62nd birthday, movies, being an empty nester and her relationship with actor, George Clooney:
I just want to be nude in a movie, I am holding out for nudity and you know.
Sports Illustrated interview
Bryan talks to Sports Illustrated about Sting, “Yes!” chants and hoping to return for Wrestlemania 31.
I want to be back for WrestleMania 31. The original plan was to come back January but we’ve struggled to get the strength back in my hand
