Former writer talks going to wrestler's court:

Rock's personal writer Brian Gerwitz says he was punished in 2001 for accepting gifts in return for TV time for Edge & Christian, during his time as head of WWE creative...

"As a kid I loved The Flash. That was my guy. And Edge was doing a signing somewhere and someone gave him a Flash thing. And, at the time, there was a death in his extended family and he had to leave the show, so he's like, 'hey man, I was going to give this to you later, but, hey, somebody gave me this at a signing. It's a Flash figurine thing. Why don't you take it?' And I think Bob Holly oversaw that. It was the day after WrestleMania 17, after Rock left, so my biggest advocate was gone. But it was in Oklahoma City. I was told by Jericho, Edge and Christian, are going to wrestlers' court. I don't remember who told me. I don't know what it was. I expected Vince to be like, 'no, you don't have to go to that!' and he says, 'good luck, pal!.'"

Stephanie McMahon was more helpful, she advised him to take beer and pizza, and he escaped with a demand to write an essay on why he respected the wrestling business.

Al Snow hates fans:

Al Snow says he honestly hates wrestling fans that want TNA to fail...

"They're the goofiest bunch of people I ever met. I genuinely hate them. I really do. I love the fact that they're fans, but I hate them. Opinions is the lowest form of human knowledge, there's no ifs ands or buts about it. You can form an opinion with little or no actual information and then you can go out and spout it off like it's a real fact. But it's nothing more than theory, conjecture and assumption. That's all it is."
