Zack Ryder says the fans are responsible for his success...

Roddy Piper talks nasty incident:


"When I was 15 years old, I used to live in the Chief Hotel, right across the street from the Astrodome. Donnie Osmond at the time, little Donnie Osmond was on the stage pounding his feet and I had to go on after him. I stayed at that hotel with my dog, a pitbull named Kayfabe. My dog ate the owner's poodle. I think was the only person to get kicked out of the Chief hotel. You can't let your dog eat the owner's poodle."


JR worries for the future of wrestling:


''Some feel that we are allegedly in a pending "boom" period because there is so much TV wrestling product available o n a weekly. Does average, at times at best average, TV product indicate "Boom" to any one who actually thinks about it? I think not. The product is by and large over thought and those in creative charge seemingly feel compelled to take a tried and true product and put their personal finger prints on it as if they are going to be the one who is forever known as "changing the wrestling business forever." The wrestling business changed forever when the territories died due largely because local promoters got lazy and complacent and did not want to move into the modern era of marketing and producing TV programs plus they stopped developing new, young stars. Blame who you want but the territory system stopped doing what brought them to the dance and that was featuring new stars in compelling rivalries that were based in easy to understand, common sense story lines produced in weekly, episodic television. Plus, the talents back in the day were, by and large, better story tellers than we are fed today with some exceptions. An essentially, easy to watch, non complex hour of TV that virtually anyone could understand and enjoy was what worked best for many of us lifers. Where have those days gone?.''
