Jesse Ventura on Linda's political career:


"I don't know, but I'll tell you this. If Vince would have given me that kind of money, I'd be the President. How's that for a quote?''

He went on to discuss his own aspirations to become US President...

"This country loves firsts. John F. Kennedy was the first catholic president. Barack Obama was the first African-American president. Personally, I'm waiting for the first former AWA World Tag Team Champion president. Now it could be Doug Somers, could be Marty Jannetty. But, I'd like it to be you. Governor Jesse Ventura, will that day come in my lifetime? If there's a grassroots movement to get me ballot access in all 50 states and if they can somehow guarantee - either they protest their brains out to make sure - I'm included in debates. Because you have to be able to debate, I would give it serious consideration. But I'm not going to spend money to get ballot access. It would have to be grassroots effort by people in every state. I need to know that. Because the thing I find most despicable about public service is the obscene money and the sellout and bribery. Jesse Ventura will not sell out to the bribery of special interests. I never took a dime of special interest money when I was governor and I never once, in four years as governor, met with a lobbyist. And I will keep that integrity. So that will require the American people to have to jump through a lot of hoops to get me to do it. Plus, it would mean I would have to leave Mexico and it will require that amount of work from you all to ever even get me to entertain the thought."


George Steele talks creation of his gimmick:


In reference to the turnbuckle spot he used to do...

"Two weeks later, I'm wrestling Chief Jay Strongbrow, and the match just isn't getting it done, so I looked over at the turnbuckle, go over to take a bit of it- it broke easily - and I started rubbing that in his face," Steele said. "All of a sudden we have a riot... From then on, why wrestle- why not have a turnbuckle snack?"

He has also released the dates of his personal appearances in promotion of his book...

Randy Orton says he does not plan on staying with WWE for life:


"I wouldn't say I'm WWE for life, I'd say my near future will consist of me primarily being in the ring," Orton said. "Wrestling is my first love. The movie was fun, but the schedule was grueling because I had to fly off on my off days to film. Eight weeks went by and I had three days off. If I do the movie thing, I'll be sure that I'm only doing the movie so I can concentrate on it. (Laughs) I think I'd be more sane that way."


Why UFC star rejected WWE:


Dana White says Mike Goldberg refused to accept a contract offer to join WWE in 2005, because Stephanie McMahon had said he would need a name change...

"I'm thinking to myself, 'that [Bill Goldberg in WWE] was last year, 2004, he's not with the company today and I don't think anyone in a million years would think that they're brothers, let alone the same person. But that's how weird they were about ownership of names, and thinking that the fans might be confused, that there would be product confusion... It just seems so peculiar as a philosophy, and unnecessary to dedicate a list of names for a guy that's an announcer, let alone a talent."
