Honky Tonk Man talks HOF snub:

"There are different variables to that. I've had different squabbles with the office over things and they are a little bit vindictive and they hold grudges and sometimes that plays a part in a lot of things, so who knows. I don't sit around and wait on that particular 203 area code to pop up on my phone. If you are sitting there waiting for that phone call you could be an old man in a wheel chair by the time that phone rings. You have to pick up the pieces and move on and let the chips fall where they may. If we can do business we can, if we can't, we can't. That's just how it is. Everything is negotiable."

JR critical of banned star:

In reference to Adam Rose...

"I suggest that all talents that have Wellness Policy violations in WWE should stay off social media. Just saying. One more thing...Doctor's notes should be typed if at all possible."
