In this interview Steve Austin mulls a return to podcasting: “I guess I got lucky because I looked at a lot of people when I first started doing the podcast and interviewing people and when you first start talking to people, even though you’ve been talking your whole life, interviewing is something different. It’s a learned skilled. I guess I grabbed onto it okay. I wouldn’t say I’m the best by any stretch. I’ve been thinking a little bit about starting back in the podcast business. I think my podcast aired five years ago. I’ve been thinking about getting back in the game. Maybe something more about my life than interviewing people. I’m trying to make a decision on that.”

Natalya is eager to defeat Kenzie Paige in the NWA Crockett Cup: “The thing with Kenzie – I feel bad speaking about her while she’s not around, but she clearly doesn’t have any issues doing that when I’m not on a room. The thing about Kenzie is that she, like a lot of people in the industry and the world, she has a huge chip on her shoulder. So, she was initially upset and she’s been talking to quite a few different media outlets, hoping that I would hear her. Of course I have because have some mutual friends. She has been saying that she feels like I ignored NWA, I put all my focus on Bloodsport, the WrestleMania week and this and that because NWA and Bloodsport were announced around the same time. Chronologically, Bloodsport was happening first, so it was one of those things where I had to get through Bloodsport first, then I could put my attention on NWA. She didn’t really – I know she’s young and a little immature, but she didn’t really understand that I had to get through Bloodsport first, so she felt ignored and she had told some mutual friends that I ignored her and that I dismissed her and pretty much only put my attention on Miyu Yamashita, who I faced at Bloodsport. I said that Miyu was the most dangerous woman that I’ve ever faced. Well, yeah, she really is. As far as being an unsigned talent that’s not in WWE, I think she’s one of the best female wrestlers in the world. I have not wrestled Kenzie Paige yet. So, she’s ticked off, she’s pissed off, she’s very entitled and very spoiled and she’s one of those people that wants everything now and she lives in a world of instant gratification, not really understanding that great things take time. I think she has a really bad attitude and I can’t wait to beat the living shit out of her pretty much.”
Nic Nemeth says Seth Rollins teaming with Bron Breakker and Paul Heyman doesn’t feel natural: “It doesn’t feel natural, and maybe because it isn’t. But maybe it also is, I’ve seen things before, and I’ve known that it was just like, ‘Hey, we’re throwing you and Robert Roode together because you guys know how to wrestle.’ This is a slow burn into a team, hopefully, and you’ve got to give it some time. Even just, when you get to the main event later, when Breakker is continually breaking him in half, you don’t have that emotional investment yet, even when I can look at it in a clean slate and look at it unbiased and watch as a fan. I don’t see that perfect camaraderie yet, but maybe we shouldn’t because it started a week ago.”
