Chris Jericho reveals shock, and support, for Hulk Hogan:
"[I'm] surprised, absolutely, because Hulk's not like that," Jericho said. "But we all say things in stupid times, in stupid ways. I'm sure you have, I'm sure I have. Whether it be those type of comments or any type of comment that's not correct, that's not right. But I think it's one of those deals where, as a friend, you've got to stick by your friends in good times and bad times. And I don't condone it, and I'm surprised, but a friend is a friend. "I do feel bad for him. I feel bad for everyone involved. I feel bad for people of color or any type of race that are fans of his. You do feel a little bit let down. But I know this: nobody feels more let down than he does. I think he feels really embarrassed and really bad about it."

Sting:
The current angle with Sting is being played by ear. WWE only came up with the idea of the feud a day or two before SummerSlam, and it is not fully written and mapped out as yet. Also, to maintain the surprise, WWE had Sting stand on the plinth under the sheet, for the whole show, until time came to go to the ring. During a video on the Tron the lights were blacked out, Sting dressed all in black, walked down the aisle amongst a group of crew men, and went under the ring as the plinth was moved into it, he then climbed into the ring too, and got under the cloth. They also kept Dudleyz hidden until the moment they were needed.
Virgil:
Virgil is weird... here is a recent interview he did...
On his future plans...
"F--k money is that money that you f--k with. Money you wipe your ass with. I want to sleep with every Asian in the world and have their father tuck me into bed for fun. that is f--k money. I live for f--k money. one life to live and one life to f--k."
On his new social media persona...
"I am the greatest black man on the planet. I am the black Steve Jobs. They now know I ain't one to play with. I ain't lonely. I am the hottest ticket out there. I am ready to get my s--t moving and grooving to get my dream of f--k money to be real."
On Hulk Hogan...
"Hulk is a good man. He never did anything to me. I don't condone racism but I know the Hulk I know is a good man that went to hospitals to talk to kids and always had good on his mind."
On his preparations for SummerSlam 1991...
"I had sex with like 10 girls the night before SummerSlam. it got me ready to focus and crush Ted. I made it and I was the million dollar champ. I still am."
On working with WWE in the future...
"Always. I have been on top for eight years-plus now. You can't take that away from me. I am always ready to get paid to help."

Backlash for Young:
Darren Young's handling of his recent backstage incident with a cameraman has led to a backlash from fans, who say he went too far, and did not need to bring the incident into the public domain. He defended himself by saying the incident had put a strain on his relationship...
''It's a shame that some people can't be happy for others. Relationships are hard to maintain so when you see someone committed to their partner, why must you try and destroy something that he worked so hard for? Respect is mutual. You need to give it in order to receive it.''
Kane:
X-Pac has revealed he put Kane in the hospital three nights in a row during their 1999-2000 feud. They were running an angle during a live loop, where X-Pac used a ring bell shot to score a victory over Kane, forcing Kane to go to get stitches after each of the three nights. Eventually Paul Bearer spoke to him, as Kane had not informed Pac about the hospital visits, and made him aware of the damage to his face.
