Maxim interview
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.
Grantland.com interview
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.

The Fight Network interview
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
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
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
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.
The Art of Wrestling interview
The Miz is a guest on The Art of Wrestling to discuss hazing in WWE and creating his own T-shirt.
I saw Charles Manson with the wild eyes and I wanted to do that and make it into black and white. Maryse likes my eyes, that’s all that matters I guess. But I do want her demographic to buy it. I want hot chicks to buy this shirt. If hot chicks wear the shirt then guess what…. everyone is going to want to wear it.
XFinity interview
Heyman talks to XFinity about Daniel Bryan, John Cena and Rob Van Dam.
I don’t mind getting into detail. I think TNA squandered the opportunity of exploiting the talents of Rob Van Dam. And I don’t think that’s a mistake the WWE is going to repeat.
JR’s Bar-B-Que Q&A
Ross updates the Q&A section of his blog to answer fan questions on CM Punk, Daniel Bryan and championship belts.
Champions are resonsible for the upkeep of their titles but spares are available if one is misplaced. Smart wrestlers never check the titles on planes.
Steve Austin Show interview
Nash is a guest on the Steve Austin Show to discuss WCW, road stories and travelling with The Kliq.
I think because I was the wheel guy 90% of the time, I kind of got the say-so. But we had certain rules. Rule number one was if someone has to pee, you pee at the next exit. There’s no, “Awww but you just went.” When you go 300 miles, you gotta go.
Wrestling101.com interview
Sheik talks about winning the WWE World Heavyweight Title from Backlund:
Beating Bob Backlund after nobody beat him for six years was the greatest moment of my career. Bob told me, I only want to lose to you Sheikie baby, because you are the real deal and you are the hottest thing in wrestling. I love him forever for that and he respected the legend.
Steve Austin Show interview
Hall is a guest on the Steve Austin Show to discuss WCW, life on the road and advice from his early career.
I remember, there’d be a few old timers who’d try to give me advice. I remember, Strongbow used to pull me aside and give me some words of wisdom. A lot of times I was too green and arrogant to listen to what he was saying.
The Art of Wrestling interview
Striker is a guest on The Art of Wrestling to discuss WWE and his taste in music.
At a young age, I’d look to other kids my age and they all liked Hulk Hogan, all cheered for the Mets, all listened to Bon Jovi. So I said, “Am I supposed to like that? I don’t like that!” So I started looking around and saw Strange Earth and was like, “Oh, I like that… no one is listening to that!”
CBS Chicago interview
Punk talks to CBS Chicago about Brock Lesnar and Vince McMahon.
There are a lot of people back there who say me and Brock are very very similar. Unapproachable, bad attitude. A kind of cloud hanging over our heads. But to me, he’s a sweetheart. I have no bad stories about Brock, yet.
Chicagoist.com interview
Foley talks to Chicagoist.com about his ongoing comedy tour and his comedy focusing on wrestling.
I don’t often venture out from my comfort zone. Again, it’s because people aren’t coming out to hear me tell stories about non-wrestling issues. I do describe how my career in professional wrestling has given me a unique perspective on traveling abroad, politics and pornography, but I have a tether that pulls me back in.
