Batista discusses his top accomplishments in WWE:

My biggest highlights were winning tag team gold with Ric Flair on two occasions, then of course winning my first World Championship in 2005 at WrestleMania 21 against Triple H is up there. Another WrestleMania match, even though I lost, was against The Undertaker in 2007 and that was probably the biggest match of my career.

Guerrero speaks to WWE.com about replacing AJ Lee as Monday Night Raw’s general manager.

I’m so glad that the Board of Directors has gotten to see me for the person that I am. I do have experience and I do have the expertise that AJ doesn’t because she’s very young and immature. I’m glad they put a real woman in this position.

Big Show talks to WWE.com about WCW’s Halloween Havoc and his memories of the event.

Both WCW and WWE performed in front of huge crowds, and at Halloween Havoc I was thrown right into the fire. For WCW, Havoc was definitely on par with SummerSlam, but even it couldn’t match the energies of WWE’s biggest events like SummerSlam and WrestleMania.

Booker T speaks to WWE.com about WCW’s Halloween Havoc and his own memories of the event.

When I was just a small fry, I looked at Havoc as an opportunity to be a fly on the wall, watch everything that transpired on such a big stage and see what made Superstars. It was like on the job training.

DDP speaks to WWE.com about WCW’s annual Halloween Havoc event and his memories of it.

It was the WCW equivalent to SummerSlam. We held the last five Havocs in Las Vegas and the fans were electric. There were celebrities visiting us backstage. It was the closest we got to the feeling of today’s SummerSlam without being at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.

Poffo talks about his time in WWE:

For me it was the greatest six years of my career, I then got fired but came back as the manager of the Beverly Brothers and got another run on the back of that. It was a tremendous opportunity, I really enjoyed the ‘Leaping’ Lanny role and then I got the opportunity to become The Genius but the best four months was the time I spent with Curt Hennig and being the adversary of Hulk Hogan.

Sting addresses the possibility of being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame:

Well, I know every year there seems to be talk of it. There’s rumors that always fly. It was all over the Internet pretty big last year or the year before. So, I don’t know, especially now that I will be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame. They may just turn the page at that point. I have no idea.

Edge speaks about his career in WWE:

I knew I was going to get to the WWE. I never doubted that. I assumed I’d do good. I never thought it would get to the point that it did. At a certain point, I think it was like the third World title, it was like ‘huh,’ ‘alright.’ And then the eight past that was just like ‘OK, now it’s getting ridiculous. This is awesome, but never expected that’ … never expected to be retiring at 37 … never expected to be in the Hall of Fame by 38. Those are things you can’t expect. It just kind of things that’ll blow you away and (make you) kind of go ‘wow, that was pretty awesome.’ It was a charmed career.

Bearer talks about managing The Undertaker and Kane in WWE:

They are such great performers, such great athletes. Such great men, gentlemen in general. I am truly humbled that I have been allowed to be associated with them for all these years,” Bearer said. “When me and Taker first started, his first WrestleMania was my first WrestleMania, so we’ve really been together all that time. I get asked, would you have thought then, that he’d be still going in 2012? Hell no, I wouldn’t then and I’m sure that he wouldn’t have either. In the early years, me and Taker were together so much, I mean all the time. We had a very special relationship and a very special bond.
