HOF'er remembers hitting Vince:

Animal says he and Hawk hit Vince McMahon with their finishing move at a night club, at the request of Hulk Hogan...

"Hogan waved at me when Vince wasn't looking and gave me the thumbs up. I looked at Hawk and said, 'Bro, let's give Vince a Doomsday.' So I got behind Vince and got him on my shoulders, and Hawk literally jumped on the stage at a male dance place—with female dancers, mind you—and the dancer moved aside, because she probably wasn't used to seeing a 275-pound man with traps coming out of his ears. Then Hawk came running off the stage and clotheslined Vince off my shoulders."

Brother Love reveals why WWE will never have a WarGames:

"McMahon hates the double ring. He hates the double ring thing. I tried to sell the two-ring battle royal for years. He hated the double ring thing. He didn't like the guys going in at intermittent times and the way it was always done with the heels having the favor of the babyfaces, but then you fast forward to Elimination Chamber, it was just one of those things. It was a WCW creation and he didn't care for it."

Triple H addresses Kenny Omega to WWE:

"To me, anytime anybody questions me on a talent -- Am I interested in them? -- the fact that you're questioning me on them means that person is probably pretty talented, so, yes, I'm interested."

Vince talks on screen role being difficult:

"That was a chore. I enjoyed it, but it just ate up so much time personally, and I couldn't produce and direct, which is what I love to do. I love to help create new stars and tweak this and help them grow here. I can't do that as a talent because you have to have your head wrapped around that. I've done both in the past, but it's not what I prefer to do. It takes an extraordinary amount of energy to be able to do that. Trying to both is difficult. It really is."

TNA return:

Don West is returning to the TNA announce booth.

Injuries:
