CM Punk:

Flair wishes he stayed retired:

"Yes, I do regret wrestling again after WrestleMania 24. There are a couple of things I regret. Number one was ever going to work for TNA. That's my own fault. It was just a lot of money to wrestle 65 days a year, right? 65 days and make a lot of money. Do you know what I mean? Not WWE money, but pretty good money to do nothing. And I made a lot of friends. I like Kurt Angle very much and I like Storm and Roode. I liked AJ., everybody treated me great. I mean, I don't have any bad things to say about TNA or the people there at all. After being in the WWE, it's pretty hard to work any place else because you're always comparing them no matter how hard you try not to."

Internet feud to the ring:

Will Ospreay is hyping his match vs WWE Alum Vader next week...

"I've got such a problem with the guy because he's directed so much abuse at me, and the fact is now that he's been called out about it, he's saying, 'Oh, Will Ospreay could be good, Will Ospreay could be this'. And it's like, 'No mate, you got caught out because everyone's battering you'. Here's what's going to happen. I am going to f--k Vader up big-time. It's not even going to be a wrestling match; it's going to be a fight. And I am going to embarrass him, I am going to outflip him, I am going to do everything that pisses him off and I'm going to show everybody why wrestling has evolved, and the evolution starts with me."
