IGN interview

Interview0 Comments

Daniel Bryan talks with IGN about his future in-ring return and the injury keeping him out of action.

I was supposed to have a second surgery scheduled for Tuesday, but they postponed it to do some more testing — and this has been the frustrating part for me. The nervous system is very complex. So there’s been debate about, ‘Okay, does he need a second surgery? Does he not need a second surgery?’ And people have kind of been going back and forth on it. Then finally we decided, ‘Okay, he needs the surgery.’

Hezbollah will fight ISIS

Makes Statement0 Comments

Nasrallah says Hezbollah is prepared to fight the growing ‘monster’ of ISIS that threatens Lebanon.

Here we live, and – if the battle is imposed on us – here we fight and here we will be martyred.

While ISIS is now facing stronger resistance in Iraq and Syria, moderate regimes across the region are at risk from the group:

Wherever there are followers of the ideology there is ground for (Islamic State), and this exists in Jordan, in Saudi Arabia, in Kuwait and the Gulf state … it appears that the capabilities, numbers and capacities available to (Islamic State) are vast and large. This is what is worrying everyone, and everyone should be worried.

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Derulo during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about what it was like to have dinner at the white house with Michelle and Barack Obama.

One of the funny things was, when they [the Obamas] got into office, there was no wifi. So she [Michelle Obama] was like, we had to put wifi in the whole building. But the people were like, ‘So, where do you want the wifi exactly?’ and she was like, ‘Everywhere!

Seth Meyers interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Meyers during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him on hosting the Emmy Awards show.

It’s coming to together well. We’re starting to lock in our ideas and write our jokes and we’re really looking forward to it. For someone like me who can’t sing or dance, the open is pretty much where we feel as though I can make the biggest impact, so that’s the biggest part for us: To have a strong monologue and just write a ton of jokes.

Comic Book Resources interview

Interview0 Comments

Bryan speaks to Comic Book Resources to discuss his WWE return and the newest stars coming to WWE.

I’m really excited, really excited. People’s eyes are going to be opened with KENTA. He just brings a different style that we’ve never seen in the WWE before. Tajiri threw a lot of kicks, but they weren’t as intense as KENTA’s. 

CBS Los Angeles interview

Interview0 Comments

Reigns sits down with CBS Los Angeles to discuss Sting and the possibility of acting in a film in the near future.

For his sake, if he steps in the ring, I hope he stays away from me. I’m not the guy to run into these days. I think it’s pretty cool just to be on the (SummerSlam) panel with him. Just to chat and BS a little bit with all those guys.

Taylor Swift interview

Interview0 Comments

Swift guests on Late Night with Seth Meyers to announce her live stream performance on Yahoo. She also shares a story about crashing a fan’s bridal shower, her extraordinarily fresh look after a gym workout, and her lively dancing during award shows.

I like to bring a change of clothes. Also, you know, I think New York is one of those cities that feels worth dressing up for, if that makes any sense. I just feel like when I walk out onto the sidewalk in New York, I have to just try a little harder. But it’s not like an extra hour in the gym. I read that somewhere and I was like, ‘That’s ridiculous.’

Kayfabe Commentaries interview

Interview0 Comments

Bourne talks to Kayfabe Commentaries to discuss his future plans in wrestling and to share a story of Terrell.

This lovely young blonde was very, very new to wrestling. They get her in the ring, she trained, she’s athletic, so put her in the ring and have her do matches. We did matches I think on Tuesday nights at this bar called Bourbon Street. We had a little 16 foot ring set up in the building and there would be shows weekly. This particular night, Taryn Terrell is in a mixed tag match. It was a God awful match. At the end, I believe she did a facebuster. The girl of course lands down, that’s the finish, you go to cover. She (Taryn) basically grabbed the leg, tried to pin her while she was face down, trying to get that 1-2-3 on a face down opponent. My brain exploded. At the time I was much more cynical about people who weren’t awesome at wrestling. I had a good laugh at that too. I think she just went for the pin, she didn’t know the difference. She was that fresh to it.

Bullying interview

Interview0 Comments

McMahon is interviewed by 13 year-old daughter of LA Times journalists for the Be A Star campaign. Stephanie discusses bullying, Summerslam and business.

I would say the two most important things are to believe in yourself. You have to have confidence. You have to believe in yourself and you also need to have a very strong education. So you need to utilize all of the people and all of the tools that are around you to help you succeed. So if that means staying in school a little longer, if that means learning another language, if that means getting a degree that’s higher than a college degree, those are the things that you need to do. But the most important thing is to believe in yourself and respect yourself.
