Iron Sheik on winning and losing the WWF title:

Winning the WWF Title from Bob Backlund: That was the biggest day in my life. Bob Backlund was WWF Champion for six years. Nobody beat him. I was the first Iranian, Middle-Eastern guy to come there and I beat Backlund in the most famous arena in the world, Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Dropping the belt to Hulk Hogan: “I had so much heatbecause of the hostage situation going on. McMahon was worried about me. I was the first Iranian to be the champion, he was afraid about somebody hurting me. So I lost the belt to Hogan. It was again Madison Square Garden. I was part of the company, whatever he wanted me to do, I’d do it. I felt bad about it because I was a real wrestler and would’ve liked to stay champ, but Hogan had good charisma and he stole the show every night everywhere he went, so they had every right to have me drop the belt to Hogan.”

Foley vs Punk:

Fans who are critical of WWE teasing a CM Punk vs Mick Foley match, only to have Foley as team captain, not wrestling at Survivor Series may not have to wait much longer, the plan is for a singles match between the two at December's TLC event.

Creative vs Vince:

It has emerged that Vince didn't just change the World title result, and came up with the screwy ref angle, but also changed the WWE title result, Ryback was booked to win the title clean in the middle of the ring, but Vince rejected that on Friday before the show. The plan was for Ryback to be champ until Survivor Series, where he would drop the belt in a multi man match, without being the one to lose the fall.

They also had 4 different endings planned...

* Brock run in
* Big Show run in
* Mark Henry run in
* Vince run in...

But they used none of those and went with the ref angle that Vince thought up on the night.
