Eugene on indy greats joining WWE:


"Kenta would have English class every day to help with his English. Fergal had apparently never driven a car before, so he would have driving classes. WWE was right there to help anyone who wanted to take a college course to help them with their WWE product, WWE was a very helpful company. Phenomenal."

WWE book writer talks Vince interview:


''It was surreal. I met him and Linda McMahon at WrestleMania 25. There was a little reception before WrestleMania in Houston for the WWE licensees, and I was there because the WWE Encyclopedia came out around that time frame. It was such a challenge to stay with my line of questioning because you feel like every answer is so important and you wanna ask something else or you want to go in a different direction. It was another dream-come-true scenario. 30 Years of WrestleMania will take readers through this journey through time where an idea that he had on vacation to do an annual event. The venue was booked before the event even had a name and WWE was working backwards to create this event. Some of the other incredible milestones WWE has achieved as an organization, it's all running through your mind as you're speaking with him, and really any members of the McMahon family. This is their livelihood and what they've built as a family. They couldn't have been more generous with their time, and the conversations were just phenomenal.''
