Lex Luger:


Has aired his views on the controversial Kevin Nash interview re Benoit and Guerrero...

“I don’t know what context that was in…it’s definitely an outrageous quote. I do think size was emphasized more in our era and fans got used to that, but I think there’s been a huge transition…I understand Kevin…he likes to stay controversial..he’s a very sharp guy, marketing-wise, and I know Kevin will make those statements, but I remember, back when I worked with Kevin, he put Rey Mysterio over in the middle of the ring…to me, the diversity now of high-flyers, big guys, little guys, in-between guys, guys that still have the muscled physiques with height, guys who don’t, different body types…getting away from that reputation of WWE being all drug-enhanced…I love what they’re doing now.”

He also squashed the idea that he invented the term ''Kliq'' for the infamous group that dominated WWE in the middle 90's, he said that British Bulldog and Owen Hart used the term privately when talking about them before he started using the term, he just said it more openly.

Jim Ross on Jerry Lawler:


JR has revealed how the King would much rather be in the ring than on the mike, and he feels that Jerry is the most under utilized talent in the history of the WWE...

''Jerry’s ring psychology is at the Ph.D. level and he is living proof of the legitimacy of the “less is more” theory that so many young wrestlers today simply don’t grasp.''

He said The Miz has never had a better match before or since his feud with Jerry, and says CM Punk vs Lawler on Raw was his highlight bout of 2012 so far.

Ted DiBiase:


What has this guy done to deserve his bad luck, after recovering from a bout of pneumonia, last week he has revealed he was also involved in a hurricane and tsunami. He says he can't confirm when he will return to TV.

He did work the dark match before SmackDown last night.

Randy No 1:


WWE.Com have voted Macho Man Randy Savage's elbow drop as the best top rope finisher.

CM Punk vs Sheamus:


CM Punk took legit offence to a joke Sheamus made about his beard, and responded by revealing he puts lifts in his boots to make him look taller...

“@WWESheamus yes. A “sheamus” beard. Google Harley Race. Ya might learn something. Like the fact that he never wore 6 inch lifts in his boots”

I don't know why but Sheamus responded that, Punk shouldn't play the race card. (Maybe hinting he is a leprechaun, because he is Irish???).

This may be kayfabe, WWE do start rivalry's by getting their talent to have a back and forth on Twitter, but would they break backstage secrets to get heat??? IDK.

Jake The Snake Roberts:


Has revealed he was terrified of snakes, before WWE gave him the character, and that he did not own them, they were provided by a guy in Stamford called Albert.

He discussed how he wanted to make the Warrior miserable, during a planned feud, which was pulled because he was fired after SummerSlam 1991...

''You’ve got to learn how to do it. You know? You take a juice monkey, you lean on him. You make him toss you around the ring but every time he picks you up, you get a little bit heavier. Pretty soon, they’re blowing and going and they don’t have any air left and you can pretty much do anything you want to them''.

And recalled a conversation that he overheard during his feud with Randy Savage...

''You let this girl be treated like that? How dare you let our little girl get treated like that. You said you'd always protect her. You scumbag.''

He said Elizabeth's parents did not understand that wrestling was scripted and they banned him from ever going to their house again, and that the feud was brought to a much quicker end than was originally planned, so Liz's Mum and Dad could see justice being done.

He also hinted this could have been a cause of Liz quitting WWF not long after the angle ended.

Officials say the only way she will get out of this is to work out a deal where CMLL will get a cut of her tour money, otherwise she can forget going back.
