"You can teach a lot of things here at the Performance Center, but you can't teach passion for wrestling. And the five people at this table definitely have it and have had it for a long time. And hopefully, a little bit of that can rub off on the rest of the people here and bring up the whole team."

Kevin Steen on WWE ''Killing'' the indies, by signing all the best talent...

"I highly disagree. It all goes back to passion and love for wrestling. When I saw Adam Cole, I was like, "I want to help this guy, because he has a good attitude and he's great." It was the same thing with Daniel Bryan, Cesaro and Seth Rollins. Before they left, they did everything they could to help the guys they liked. The scene repairs itself, but anybody who complains that WWE is killing the indie scene is ridiculous."

Actor remembers Andre The Giant:

Cary Elwes recalled an incident in which Andre passed out in a hotel lobby, during filming of their movie ''The Princess Bride''...

"They decided that there was no shifting him. There's no shifting a 550-pound, 7-foot-4 giant, so they had a choice: either call the authorities, and they didn't want that kind of publicity, or wait for him to wake up, which was the wiser decision. It should be pointed out that Andre didn't drink for the sake of drinking—Andre was in a lot of pain, God bless him. His back was injured from carrying all that weight around, and from having other wrestlers breaking chairs over his back. He was due to have an operation right after the shoot, and his doctor didn't know what kind of pain medication to give him because of his size, so the only way that he could deal with the pain was to drink alcohol. And it didn't affect him at all. He didn't flub a line or miss a day. The guy could handle his liquor, let me tell ya."

Flair is set to be released from Hospital tomorrow.
