Maxim interview

Interview0 Comments

Jericho talks to Maxim about his favorite opponent and stars in WWE today.

Wrestling is all about new talent and new turnaround of the stars. I could be the main event guy there for 20 years, but there’s going to have to be other guys that come into that picture or else it’s pretty boring and business will go really bad. There’s only so much Jericho or so much HHH or so much Rock people can take. So you try different guys – some of them are bigger and don’t really have the talent, they have more of the look.

Triple H talks to Grantland.com about his role in WWE, his wife and the internet’s impact on wrestling.

Everything that has to do with talent, from the legends to the developmental system, to the live events and all of its operations and the towns we book, to where the pay-per-views are, all of it. Obviously I have a massive team that does all that, but they report to me.

Jericho talks about his participation in the web series Jon Davis Gets A Sex Robot:

It actually all came about through Eli Roth, who introduced me to Jon Davis, who I hung out with a few times – he was a screenwriter in Hollywood, one of those guys that’s always been around doing stuff for years. He was hooked up with somebody that was involved with Justin Lin’s new YouTube Channel, YOMYOMF – which stands for You Offend Me, You Offend My Family, which must be some kind of a Bruce Lee thing.

Steve Austin Show interview

Interview0 Comments

Joe is a guest on the Steve Austin Show to discuss breaking into the wrestling business and playing sports.

Being Samoan, playing football is a religion in itself. I amateur wrestled for a little bit but I started playing football when I was 15 years old and I was a California State junior champ. I still love the sport and I watch it all the time.

Houston Wrestling Radio interview

Interview0 Comments

Hernandez talks to Houston Wrestling Radio  about his career highlights and breaking into TNA.

I basically took chances. I was the top draw in Houston for two or three years. My pockets weren’t getting any bigger. And unfortunately for pro-wrestling, it’s not a team sport. If you want to make it, you have to go out there and take chances. Necro Butcher taught me that first-hand. He left Houston. He made his name on the east coast doing hardcore stuff. I did it the hard way. I went to Japan three or four times, I went to Mexico. I wrestled there with a mask when TNA called me.

A lot of women say that they breast-feed and the pounds come right off, but for me and [actresses like] Busy [Philipps], who enjoy our cake, it’s not going to come off in two months.

Lindsay Lohan interview

Interview0 Comments

Are we going to fight this are we going to take it to court. My decision was part of it I strangely you know being in my addiction and everything and having all that cayos around me that I was so comfortable with. I somewhere inside knew and kind of wanted to go to jail.

Wrestlingmania.com interview

Interview0 Comments

Luger talks to Wrestlingmania.com about his WCW debut on the very first Monday Night Nitro.

On reflection, that was a pretty bad move by me. Me and Vince had a verbal agreement. I worked for him for 6 months without any sort of contract as my contract had expired. My mistake came when WCW signed me. I didn’t get to have a conversation with Vince to tell him I’d be leaving. But that was 100% my fault.

Judge Mathis interview

Mathis is interviewed by Hall on The Arsenio Hall Show. They talk about getting kids off the streets, how to get out of gangs and his origins as a gang member who got out by going to college.

You can’t have idle time otherwise you’re on the corner and you’re gonna be part of something that’s doing wrong.

The Fight Network interview

Interview0 Comments

Greenfield talks to The Fight Network about Vince McMahon not liking the way Christian looks.

Right before I started, there was a big show, I think it might have been in Toronto. Christian was just so completely over, and everybody thought he was going to get a push at, I think it was the World Heavyweight Championship at that point. We were on the plane one time shortly after I started, and Vince was just like “God damn, I just don’t like his face. His face really bothers me.”

WWE.com interview

Interview0 Comments

Charlotte talks to WWE.com about being the daughter of Ric Flair.

Honestly, I grew up very privileged, and I am so thankful for the opportunities my dad’s career was able to provide. I have had the opportunity to travel the world, and I’ve met so many incredible people from all walks of life. I truly believe growing up in Charlotte, N.C., which was once a very small city, is what kept me grounded. I am still friends with the kids I went to kindergarten with.

Chad Dukes interview

Interview0 Comments

Duggan talks to Chad Dukes about Dolph Ziggler and Curtis Axel.

I think everybody likes Dolph Ziggler, you know I seen him back in the Spirit Squad days. You see that kid, he’s got the blonde hair and a lot of white teeth, good body, good-looking young guy. He’s the kind of guy, a marquee player that WWE looks for, like John Cena, Hulk Hogan, somebody of that nature. I think Ziggler fits that bill. Kind of an unknown hero is McGuillicutty (Curtis Axel). I think Curt’s boy, third generation wrestler, he’s got a lot to show.

Marvel.com interview

Interview0 Comments

Van Dam talks to Marvel.com about his WWE return.

It’s awesome. I predicted that this return to WWE might be the most impactful part of my entire career. It has a lot to do with timing, and a lot to do with being RVD because I have so many years of experience. But it’s all positive. All the time I’ve spent. There’s no downside. I don’t have that a.g.e. factor that seems to affect a lot of other people. Honestly, my body feels as good as it ever did. Sometimes my back bothers a little bit, but it bothered me even more when I was 23. Sometimes my knee bothers me a little bit.

Collins talks about McGregor’s boxing skills

Makes Statement0 Comments

Paschal Collins, comments on McGregor’s boxing skills, after he beats Max Holloway.

Honestly, I think he will be a phenomenon in Boston. He’s an aggressive fighter, he’s great with his hands and he’s quick with his tongue too – he’s everything that the Americans think an Irishman should be. I was just looking at him the last time he was down here and his eyes were dancing around in his head – he’s a bit of a madman and I suppose you have to be in the fight game. He’s just got that star quality, it’s clear for everyone to see and he deserves it. He works hard, he fights hard and I wish him all the best on Saturday…Conor already had a pedigree in boxing from his early days in Crumlin when he came up to us. It was really his first martial art. It’s been a while since he has been down with us. He was just about to head off to Sweden before I saw him last time, but I’ve always been very impressed by what he can bring to the table. The first time he came up to us was about two years ago, but his development in that period has been unbelievable. His approach is second to none, he’s confident and he has natural power and ability – and that’s priceless in this game. What we can never quite believe is the amount of work he puts in. A lot of times he’d be down to us in the afternoon and he would’ve already been grappling for the whole morning. He comes down here and he can hold his own with world champions like Spike and Stephen, he’s a very capable boxer.

Steve Austin interview

Interview0 Comments

Mohr is a guest on the Steve Austin Show to discuss comedy, stand up and acting.

I always thought the best acting school was acting. Doing it. I always wanted to go to acting school. My wife and I have this conversation all the time to go to the hardest acting school in the world and every time we get to it, we get a job.

Maxim Interview

Interview0 Comments

Black talks about the comedians that he looks up to:

Inside, it would be Carlin, Pryor, Lenny Bruce – and then guys like Shelley Berman and Bob Newhart. Then outside of it, it was like – not really, because he kind of straddles it – Paul Krassner who was the editor of The Realist and does a lot of satirical writing. He’s very funny. And then there is Kurt Vonnegut.

The Talks interview

Interview0 Comments

Ebert gives an interview to The Talks. He discusses starting his band, making music with Edward Sharpe, and liking Hip Hop at seven years old.

I saw a poster of Run–D.M.C. and you know what’s funny is that I didn’t even hear their music, I just knew that that was the shit. ‘Whatever that is, I know that that’s somehow rebellious.’ And for me, I was a very, very rebellious person as a very little kid. I was constantly in trouble. Tagging and doing various wannabe sort of gangster activity, you know. It was my punk rock.
