In this interview Seth Rollins says it’s easy for him to fight CM Punk: “You get to get that violence out. You get to get that anger, that frustration, out. You’re out there, it’s just you and him. If the fists fly, they fly. We’re in the conflict industry, right? And I have a conflict with him. I don’t like him. I haven’t liked him for a long time. We have a lot of history. It is much easier to talk badly about someone that you honestly don’t like.”
The pre-sale code for the WWE Hall of Fame on April 18th in Vegas is WWETIX. The same code works for the WWE run of shows at Yuengling Center in Tampa that includes Saturday Night’s Main Event, Battleground, Raw and NXT. (PWI)
Mercedes Mone on the differences between her and her character: “When I’m at home, I’m far from the glitz and glam that comes with being a professional wrestler. I absolutely love slipping into my cozy sweats and a simple tank top, completely ditching the makeup and wig. There’s something so comforting about hanging out with my dogs in a relaxed state, away from the spotlight.”
Ivar beat Dominik Mysterio on WWE Speed to earn a title shot against Dragon Lee.
Kid Kash is coming out of retirement and now accepting bookings.
“Nasty Boy” Brian Knobbs was just rushed to the hospital: “As we shared on Facebook Brian was rushed to the hospital due to critically low blood levels and had to undergo an emergency blood transfusion. It was an incredibly scary moment, but we’re relieved to report that early this morning, his blood levels stabilized, and the doctors felt comfortable enough to release him back to the rehab center. We are beyond grateful for that. That being said, we are more motivated than ever to get Brian out of that rehab facility. While we appreciate that he has a place to recover, the facility is in poor condition—decrepit and severely understaffed. It’s simply not an environment that fosters true healing, but unfortunately, it’s all his insurance will cover at this point, and his coverage is running low. Tomorrow is a huge streaming benefit for Brian, featuring some of the biggest legends of professional wrestling. It’s going to be an unforgettable show filled with incredible stories about Brian, so please check it out and spread the word!”
Typhoon says the Natural Disasters (him and the late John Tenta a/k/a Earthquake) are going into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.
Steve Austin talks about his WrestleMania 38 match with Kevin Owens: “I didn’t have any timing. Hell, I hadn’t hit a set of ropes in 19 years. Hadn’t thrown a punch in 19 years. Hogan says, you know, you’re just not calloused up. Your body is not as hard as it used to be. And he was right, because when you when you take off, people talk about ring rust, that’s timing. So, I had no timing. Those ropes hurt. Those bumps hurt. If you make a long comeback, it takes you two or three months to get those callouses back, so that your body doesn’t hurt after every single match. You build up an immunity to it, so they each made valid points. And like Paul said, you don’t know what you got until you get out there, because you can think you got it, but you don’t. And when I went out there, I think I couldn’t hear the crowd as much as I wanted to. When I watched it back, the crowd was into it. It was very, very loud, yes, but I wish I would have taken more time, savored more moments, and worked the people a little bit more than I did. I think I was in a space of not knowing what I had and trying to be a little too frantic. I could have slowed down drastically and made that better. And I wish that I would have. I haven’t told too many people that, but I told you.”
Another L for Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea — he left a meet & greet event for Real American Beer early even though fans (apparently he still has those) were in line for hours, leaving people empty handed and children crying.
