John Cena talks joining the Marines:

“I was literally about to join the Marine Corps (Officer Candidate School) when a buddy asked me if I wanted to be a wrestler. I thought I would literally last two weeks in there and the Marines would always be there.”

Bubba Ray on TNA cutting PPV's:

“Love it. I think it’s an awesome idea. I think the wrestling world is entirely saturated with pay per views. I remember growing up as a kid and only getting those four to six pay per views a year which had that big time feel. Now every time you turn around there is a pay-per-view every month. I would love to see TNA go the route of doing something like the NWA did back in the day and put on almost like a free pay per view on Spike TV one Sunday. I don’t make those business decisions, but I think it would be great for luring new fans to our product. I’m very, very confident that once wrestling fans who have never seen TNA, if they would just get to see it once or twice, I think they would be hooked.”

Heath Slater on wrestling legends:

“Oh man, I was excited to get in there with every one of them if you want me to be honest. I mean it was just like opening up a present each week wondering who I’m gonna get in the ring with. First it was Vader, and then you know from Vader it went on to Cyndi Lauper and Roddy Piper doing an in ring interview. And then it went from Sid and Rikishi and Doink and DDP – I mean it was just one of those things where it kept getting better and better, one of those feelings where I felt like a kid again for a moment until I was laying on my back looking at the lights, almost knocked out. But other than that, it was one of those things where I can honestly say I’m probably the only WWE Superstar now that has ever been in the ring with guys like that so it’s a good little chip on my shoulder I guess you could say.”

TNA injury:

James Storm has torn cartilage from two of his ribs.

WWE plug new Bret DVD:

Known as the “Excellence of Execution”, he is widely regarded as the greatest technical wrestler of all time, evidenced by multiple reigns with the Tag Team, Intercontinental, WWE and World Heavyweight Championships. Now in this collection, compiled by the Hit Man himself, fans can experience Bret Hart’s best matches never-before-released on DVD. Bret takes the viewer behind each match in a brand new, revealing interview detailing the inside stories surrounding these rare matches. Over 8 hours of in-ring action is presented, including classics from the Stampede Wrestling vault as well as vintage WWE bouts against the top stars of the 80s and 90s.”

CM Punk offers to work PPV:

CM Punk says he feels fine after his surgery, and actually called the office to declare himself good to go, WWE want to protect him for 2013, so the TLC match is still off.

Mickie James talks health scare:

"It was pretty scary. I didn't get into a whole big ordeal as far as my surgery went because it was so scary and very personal, and kind of humbling in a sense. In this industry, we're so accustomed to fighting off pain or negating it, and working through it, sometimes we don't take little things very seriously. Most times when we think of getting hurt or having to go to the hospital, it's usually for to do with an injury in the ring, so for it to be for something personal and to have this mass… and thank God it was benign."

WWE drop Harold:

Indy star Scorpio Sky, who has appeared for WWE as Harold in the Anger Management skits will not re-appear for WWE after attacking Homosexuals on his Twitter, he used the word ''Faggot'' and challenged anyone who did not like it.

WWE made this statement on the matter...

"WWE strongly believes that everyone should be treated with respect and this principle is the foundation of our anti-bullying initiative, 'Be a STAR'. Mr. Andrews no longer works for WWE and we have no plans to work with him in the future."

He may be about to lose his job with his promotion Lucha VaVoom, who are also not happy with his language...

"Please rest assured that Lucha VaVOOM does not condone this language, and further, it's important to us specify that we do not employ the character 'Scorpio Sky.' The wrestler that plays 'Scorpio Sky' appears sometimes, but not under that moniker, and he does not have access to speak for Lucha VaVOOM or any of his Lucha VaVOOM characters. However, we have emailed him our grievances and await his response."
