Tommy Dreamer interview:

On working MSG...

"It was a dream come true for me. My first time there, at Madison Square Garden was against Perry Saturn, some I wrestled a bunch of time before and I know this is hard to believe for a lot of my fans, but I actually got a little teary-eyed and I got emotional; it's still real to me dammit, and it was really, really great. The best two minutes of my career was when I worked the Royal Rumble in Madison Square Garden and I was in the ring with the Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and a bunch of other guys and for two minutes, people just kept chanting my name; I was eliminated in two minutes, but it was the greatest two minutes of my life. I love myself and Rob Van Dam main eventing on Monday Night Raw there, when we unified the Intercontinental and the ECW Title; I cried in the back as well. I cry a lot as you know in my career, and I love this business and I never thought I would achieve my dream and I was really, really happy for those events."

On WrestleMania 25...

"It was really, really good. I did it with my friends and my family was there, it was a really great experience. Never thought we were all going to make it to WrestleMania but we did. I was at WrestleMania 1 as a kid, so, I mean, it was really, really cool. There's a lot behind that match going in, and at one point we were actually scrapped from the card. So, I think they did a Diva's Playboy match, and we had done a test run in Mexico the week before and the match was so good that we were main eventing all the shows in Mexico and then when we got back from Mexico, the match was supposed to be 12 minutes, then it was supposed to be 10 minutes, then 8 minutes, then it was cut from the show, then we had 6 minutes. So, just the fact that it happened with all the behind the scenes BS was a great accomplishment for all of us."

WWE stars on the Olympics:

Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and Cody Rhodes have spoken out against the Olympics axing wrestling...

Dolph...

''It's hitting close to home more than usual. I know it's not 100 percent yet but there are so many Olympic events, it's unfortunate they've chosen a legitimate sport and one of the original sports ever. It's mind-blowing that it's even on the chopping block."

Swagger...

"More of an 'Are you kidding me?' type of reaction. I'm so disgusted by it. I'm fired up. It's no secret I wasn't the most athletic kid on the playground, but I went into it head over heels even though I wasn't good at it at first. It teaches you so much about life and that's what makes it the best sport. It teaches you discipline and dedication and how to work hard and how to sacrifice for your goals. Those are things you can apply to any area of your life, whether it's your education or your career. Honestly, it turned me into a man."

Cody...

''It's extremely disappointing, but I honestly cannot see them going forward with that. I'm very disappointed with the fact that they're even considering it. This is freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. This has a rich tradition in the Olympics. I don't even want to disparage some of the sports that they're keeping, you just don't do away with wrestling."

WWE vs ITV:

WWE are considering buying the UK World Of Sport library, however ITV who own the tapes are not thought to be interested in selling, the fact the library is owned by a media outlet, not by an individual or company may make putting a deal together very difficult.

John Cena heat:

John Cena's ex wife Liz has accused him of cheating on her with a Porn star named Kendra Lust during their marriage, after a picture of the lady posing with John Cena's WWE Title was posted online, Cena who posted he is looking forward to Valentine's Day for the first time in years, has not commented, but Ms. Lust has denied the claims, saying she does not know John Cena, and has no idea where this came from.

The Undertaker meets Vince:

The Undertaker did not attend Raw this week, but did have a meeting with Vince McMahon, where they discussed WrestleMania, WWE want an Undertaker vs CM Punk match, however Taker does not want to ''Fake'' his way through a match, he has had Shoulder surgery, meaning he would not be able to lift him, and has also had hip surgery, meaning he would not be as mobile as he would need to be.

A WWE executive has conceded the match is up in the air after the meeting, saying if it was not on the card, it does not mean his career is over.

Retirement may be only delayed for a year however, people close to The Undertaker expect an announcement in 2014, where he would confirm Mania 30 would be his last match, and WWE would then likely build the show around him, to say goodbye properly.
