Matt Striker interview:

Matt Striker says he hopes he will be able to return to WWE in the future...

"I appreciate when people come up to me but the people who make that decision? The three main people don't feel that way. Which also leads me to believe there has to be a reason. I may have done something that I don't know about that has gotten back to the WWE and they are just trying to protect themselves and me by saying, you know what? Let's cut ties with you for a little while. I don't know. That's the big thing but again when you're a kid and your mom says you can't go out and you say why and she says because I'm your mom and I say so. And that's it."

He went on to wish his replacement on Superstars Alex Riley well...

"He's a good kid. He's a taller better looking version of Matt Striker. I believe he's a graduate from Boston College, he's well spoken, he's bright and I think it's a great opportunity for Alex Riley. To me, this is what is my saving grace, I'm gone now and then I read that it's Alex Riley that's sitting in that chair and I think about all the conversations I've had with Alex Riley. Maybe one thing I said to him he uses on the show and he's now the breath of fresh air, he's now the new guy, I don't fault anyone for that. WWE gives opportunity, they gave me an opportunity, they're giving Alex Riley an opportunity and I expect great things for Alex Riley and I'm genuinely happy for him"

On heat for his attitude when he joined WWE...

"When I first came to the WWE, I did not wear humility well. I think people mistook my New York-ness and my excitement for arrogance and I am glad that it happened, I'm glad that some of these battle tested veterans sat me down in their way and said, 'hey man, I slept in a car, wrestled for $5 and did all these things so that a kid like you could walk in here right now.' Once I started to realize that, I began to adopt the same theories and mentality."

On his feud with Jerry Lawler...

Apparently it is well known that Lawler did not like working with Striker, Matt says Lawler felt he was too fact heavy, talking about stars of the past etc, and that he was too long winded sometimes, but after a talk Lawler gave him some great advice, which he went on to use...

"A lot of that stuff was my fault because I was like a 9 year old kid with an open microphone. All Jerry wanted to do was help me, there wasn't any animosity in the back, it was like a father sitting down his teenage son who doesn't wanna hear anything, saying this is how it's got to be."

The Rock:

The Rock has acknowledged being on the cover of the next WWE video game...

"I am exceptionally grateful to be chosen for the cover of WWE 2K14 and serve as the first cover Superstar under 2K's leadership. I want the cover of WWE 2K14 to electrify the people. I want the artwork to stand out and set a new standard for all WWE video games from 2K, both today and in the future."

He has given his Mother $100,000 to help her, as She suffers from Bi-Polar Disorder, but even that didn't stop the torrent of hate from her, so He eventually decided to give up and cut her off, this escalated the abuse to a new level. He says She threatened to kill herself 4 times last year, threatened to release embarrassing info about him to the press, forcing Punk to reveal his arrests during his school career and much more.

Punk's Mother allegedly said to Punk...

"You don't give a s**t about us. You just care about your money and money hungry/fame hungry friends. You would sell us for a nickel."

CM Punk who is in court today regarding this said...

"I wish for the harassment to stop and am requesting the assistance of the court in this regards."

He was awarded a temporary ruling on June 10, but wants it extending for several years.
