Syko Stu’s family posted an update on how he’s doing following the assault by Raja Jackson: “Stuart has been released from the hospital and is now home resting. He sustained a serious head injury and was unconscious upon arrival at the ER. His injuries include trauma to both the upper and lower jaws, a laceration to his upper lip, and a fracture to the maxilla bone, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of several teeth. He has a long road of recovery ahead, but he remains in good spirits despite everything he has been through.”
Swerve Strickland doesn’t mind being in memes if they’re not offensive: “Whatever gets my face out there more, and if y’all can entertain this, as long as it’s not offensive, I’m cool. Yeah, the Michael Jackson person here, I’m like, ‘Umm?’ they make it seem like I’m a parody of myself. Like, I’m impersonating myself. The one where where they turn me blue, and they put me out coming out of a lamp. I appreciate all of them. Like I said, as long as it’s fun is not like derogatory, hurting anybody or being offensive, have your fun, have your way with it. It’s the internet. This is what we’re here for. Just don’t hurt nobody’s feelings, especially mine.”

Blue Meanie talks about his appearance at ROH Death Before Dishonor: “I always get nervous, even though I’ve been in that building (2300 a/k/a ECW Arena) a million times, and often joke that, ‘Yeah, those fans are just my neighbors, you know. They’re just happy to see me,’ but it is really cool to actually go out and be remembered and get sort of reaction in that building. Because, you know, Philadelphia fans, for the most part, they can be harsh. If you’re good, they’ll love you. If they hate you, they’ll let you know, you know, and I’ve seen plenty of people get booed out of that building, but here we are. I debuted there in 1995, 30 years ago. It’ll be 30 years in November since the Blue Meanie character was born. So we’re approaching on that. So to be asked to be a part of something very special in the city, in that building with a great company, meant a lot.”
Raquel Rodriguez talks about the people she gets advice from: “Undertaker’s really stepped up, and he’s been giving a little bit more of his time and advice and his knowledge to everyone in the business, including myself. Kevin Nash has been so gracious since the comments, and I think he really took my response in a very nice way as well. He’s been nice enough to message me here and there and give me a little couple of tips about videos and matches that he’s seen. So I know he’s watching the product. I know he’s watching me, and that makes me feel good, because he’s out there to want to make me better.”
