Stratus talks to WWE.com about her latest endeavor, a yoga program titled “Stratusphere Yoga”

I had been told I was experiencing degenerative disc damage, and when I got squished by Viscera in the ring in 2005, that’s when the damage caught up with me. I was put out of action and diagnosed with a herniated disc. The doctors said I had to have surgery, but I knew there had to be another way to fix it. I did some physical therapy, which did not work. And then I found yoga. Yoga reversed the damage, allowed me to come back and finish out my career. Yoga has been in my life ever since.

Holly speaks about his first gimmick in WWE:

Honestly it was a gimmick in wrestling but I really do race cars in real life. Back in the eighties and early nineties everything in wrestling had a cartoon character theme to it. When I had a meeting with Vince (McMahon) and JJ Dillon they hired me and said they would send my contract in the mail, when it arrived it had Thurman ‘Sparky; Plug on it.

Booker T discusses winning the WWE King of the Ring tournament and becoming King Booker:

I was like, I’m going to act like a king if I become King Booker. I thought about it and I studied the Pope, the King of Scotland just as far as people to watch. I just took on a different persona that people could remember forever more. With everybody that won the King of the Ring, they’re not going to think about them first, they’re going to think about King Booker. Then, they’re going to think about who (else) won the King of the Ring.

Korderas talks about working for McMahon in WWE:

Vince is actually a great boss, because Vince is the kind of guy that wouldn’t ask guys to do something that he wouldn’t do. Vince has pretty much done everything in the business leading to him becoming chairman and he installed that into his son Shane. When Shane began working for the company he worked with every part of the company, he helped out the ring crew, he refereed, it’s not like the family are strangers to hard work.

Steve Austin Show interview

Michaels is a guest on the Steve Austin Show to discuss his new show, his WWE career and when he decided to become a wrestler.

In San Antonio. It was right before cable was coming out. I was 12 years old. I was up late for whatever reason on a Saturday, back when wrestling was 12:30 at night on Saturday nights and Southwest Championship Wrestling came on. Just that montage at the beginning just sort of drew me in. That time it was Wahoo McDaniel and Tully Blanchard, they had the big feud going on there. And then when cable came about, that’s when we got TBS then WWF out of Madison Square Garden and then WORTD. It just sort of consumed my life.
