Wrestlers on TV:

Kenny King will be a contestant on the next series of 'The Bachelorette.' Big Show will be a guest on 'Conan.'

Maryse talks ending retirement:

"At WrestleMania, with my husband, in the same ring, the same match? If you had asked me if that was possible five years ago, I would have laughed in your face. Now it's really happening."

JTG talks others causing him to be fired twice:

First, he says, was the fault of Cade / Murdoch...

"I guess since we were new they didn't want to work with us. I guess it would ruin their brand, I don't know, but they didn't enjoy working with us at all. Because of them, I felt - this was the first time we got released from the WWE. So, yeah they changed the finish on us, they got the ref in on it, and coming through OVW whatever issues we have personally between a WWE Superstar, we take care of it in the back. You don't let it spill outside into the ring. When they did that, it was like a big slap in the face. Why would you change the finish, do it in front of a live audience, and get the ref in on it. We did a thing where I would almost get counted out, and I'd roll back in at eight. Then he said '7, 8, 9, 10!' The audience picked up on it and they started chanting 'This is bullsh*t.' They sprinted, they went towards the back. The ref was there and Shad was pissed, because he saw the eye contact or exchange of body language between the ref and the tag team and knew something was up. Shad was really pissed and took it upon himself to embarrass and humiliate the ref, because he was still out there. We hit our finisher on the ref, and Shad took his shirt and belt off and tossed it into the crowd."

Second time it was John Cena who had them canned...

"They didn't like that in the back, we got a lot of heat for that. Our agent Barry Windham told Shad, he didn't speak to me because it wasn't me that had the problem, he called Shad to the back of the locker room and yelled at him, then when he came out of being yelled at by my agent Barry Windham, John Cena let him have it. He let us both have it. On the way back John Laurinaitis called us, let us have it, then we got released at RAW."

He then blasted WWE for making him drive home after being sacked.

All is forgiven:

Kurt Angle says he and Vince McMahon have cleared the air...

"We met and the first thing he did was embrace me. He hugged me like I was his son. It got really emotional. We didn't leave on the best terms. It wasn't bad terms, but there were some angry remarks, especially from my side and Vince was frustrated with me, with everything going on at that point in time. To be able to come back and Vince say just let it go, let everything in the past go. We're here now, there's nothing you need to worry about that occurred in the past. Just worry about right now and the future. We have some wonderful plans for you in the future."
