Ross Report interview
Stratus is a guest on The Ross Report to discuss being a mother, her introduction into WWE and the term “divas”.

Wrestling101.com interview
Johnson gives his thoughts on becoming the first African American to win a singles title in WWE
That was a great achievement becoming the first African American Intercontinental Champion in history. That was a great honour but it was short lived and it quickly became disgraced, someone had scratched some racial words, Congratulation Ni**er, into my car and the treatment I got was pretty bad. I hadn’t experienced any racism in wrestling until I made it to the big leagues, the WWF.
ArkTimes.com interview
Rollins speaks to ArkTimes.com about indy wrestling and wrestling being called “fake”.
Fake is like the worst word you could possibly use to describe anything, you know? What are you talking about? What is fake? It’s a television show, and a live performance. Nothing’s fake about it. We’re not telling you we’re out their fighting each other. We’re going out there to entertain you. I consider myself an athlete.
The Democrat Tribune interview
Ziggler talks to The Democrat Tribune about motivation and character development.
There are days when you don’t feel good, you may be a little banged up or you’ve had 10 flight delays in the same day. If I was a fan sitting in the audience, I’d be disappointed if a top star didn’t wrestle.

Star Tribune interview
Foley speaks to The Star Tribune about brain research in professional wrestlers, and donating his own brain to science.
I have been approached. These are some tough questions here. You see how quickly I did those autographs? We got through a few hundred people fairly quickly. Signing my name on that form to donate my brain took a long time. It’s a big step, but if other people can learn from what I’ve done, I’m willing to do it.
WWE.com interview
Hogan talks to WWE.com about his career, the WWE, his life inside the wrestling industry and interacting with Vince McMahon upon his return to WWE.
He (McMahon) actually gave me that shot of confidence I needed that night. When I was really jitterbugging right before I had to go out, Vince kicked the door down and he gave me this hug that felt like it should have broken my ribs. He goes, “Go out there and have fun!” And I went, “Yes. That’s what I needed. I needed that from you.” He’s always been there and we’ve always been friends.
WWE.com interview
Hogan talks to WWE.com about Ultimate Warrior and still getting nervous in WWE.
Oh yeah, there were nerves. Even the night before, I couldn’t sleep. I was tossing and turning. I’m thinking, “How are these fans going to welcome me back?” But when I came out right at the top of the show and they saw me, it was almost like I had walked behind a 747 jet. The only way I can explain it to you is it was this energy and it was so loud it was like, “Woah!” It made me take a step back for a minute.
Steve Austin Show interview
Garcia is a guest on the Steve Austin Show to discuss drinking, starting out in WWE and singing.

VOC Nation Radio interview
Kamala talks about working with Andre the Giant in WWE:
Andre wasn’t the friendly guy that he appeared to be. He was real temperamental and had a nasty attitude. When I first started working with him, he called me a (derogatory) name in the ring and I beat him up. After that, I never had another problem with him. A lot of (top guys had problems with Andre too). He would just go out and mop the floor with people. He treated (wrestlers) nasty, and the fans too. Andre would do it just about every night. Guys would watch through the curtain to see what he was going to do.
Talk is Jericho interview
Natalya is a guest on Talk is Jericho to discuss WWE, Total Divas and the Hart family.
I always try to be very guarded as far as talking about the family in interviews. Like, it was awesome it was cool and there was never a dull moment. We have so many unique characters in our family. Uncle Smith and Bruce, everyone knows Bret and Owen but if they only knew about the others.
Phoenix New Times interview
Kingston talks to The Phoenix Times about CM Punk and the WWE Network.
Yeah, we were each other’s road wives. With Punk, I consider him to be like a brother to me. He’s one of the guys who took me under his wing when I first came. So we’ve been able to maintain a good relationship.
Digital Spy interview
Langston speaks to Digital Spy about Wrestlemania, CM Punk and Hulk Hogan.
I think it’d be great for us. Hulk Hogan still has that aura, even though he’s obviously older now, and probably not quite in his prime. But I think he’d be great for us because I know people in their 40s and 50s who remember watching Hulk Hogan as a kid.
Steve Austin Show interview
Colter is a guest on the Steve Austin Show to discuss Cesaro, WWE and his career in South America.

Ross Report interview
Austin is a guest in The Ross Report to discuss CM Punk, John Cena and The Undertaker.
What I like about that guy (Cena) is his work ethic. He shows up. And he’s always got a smile on his face. Sometimes you’re hurt and sometimes you’re tired but Cena always has a smile on his face.

DNAIndia.com interview
Big Show talks to DNAIndia.com about WWE, retirement and his current role in the company.
The business has completely evolved. when I started in 1995, it was like rock and roll. We couldn’t do anything wrong. The arenas were sold out. Our boss took good advantage of that and started building for the future. WWE went from teenage material to young adult to more family oriented which I think is a great move for our company.
Zap2It interview
Cena speaks to Zap2It about Daniel Bryan’s popularity and CM Punk.
Predicting the next WWE Superstar is like predicting the crooked stock market at the turn of the 19th century. You just can’t. That’s what’s beautiful about the WWE audience, that’s why I love it so much. It changes everyday, every arena, every city. I don’t know who will be next but I will keep trying to put people front and center so the WWE Universe gets a good look at people.
