AJ talks Cena:

"I'm not saying that John is a great athlete, I don't want to discredit who John is. He's not known for his moveset. But his psychology is unbelievable! Like, he gets it on another level. It makes up for things he lacks in his moveset because he's so unbelievable in that ring. When he and I work together... I say him signing something, and he is a leftie, he uses his left hand. I said, 'that's gotta be what it is John, that's why we work so well together, because you're a leftie and I'm a rightie and it just works.' We're different in every way, but we keep on putting on great matches."

"The Hall of Fame, if it comes, it comes. It's not something I pander for or I wait on. I've been critical of the Hall of Fame and some of the things they've done and how they do it. To the fans, I know that you're gonna say I'm bitter, I'm hateful and all those things, but I'm not. It's a TV show right now, it's not a Hall of Fame. It's not like you get a big $35,000 diamond ring like you see the Super Bowl guys wear... If you're gonna do it, make it that kind of a thing. Don't have the gimmicks go out and be the gimmick on TV. If they ask me to go out and say we want you to wear a jumpsuit I would just say, 'If that's what you want me to do, forget about it,' because I'm not that character anymore. If you want me to be that character, put me on TV, give me a contract, use me full-time and I'll do that."

"British Bulldog had a great, storied career. From tagging with The Dynamite Kid to breaking out on his own, his career had a great evolution. "He started in Stampede Wrestling in Calgary for Stu Hart and before that had been training in England before being brought in with Dynamite, and of course that classic, classic match against Bret Hart at Summerslam – that's one of my all-time favorite matches. He's just a great, great superstar in the history of WWE, so I don't think it is a matter of if he'll be inducted into the Hall of Fame, but when he'll become a member.''

Trish talks Rumble invite:

"When Mark Carrano called, it was actually on Boxing Day, which in America you don't have a Boxing Day, but in Canada it is a chill out, eat all junk, leftover food from Christmas kind of a thing, and I get this call from Mark and am kicking back with this chocolate peanut butter bowl, and he was like, 'We would love for you to be part of this, sister.' A couple of things went into my mind; number one I was completely honored to be thought about to be part of this of course, and number two, well, it has been a minute. Let's do the math: it has been about eight years since I wrestled. Last I did, I was doing some work with 'Snooki' in the ring and being dissed by John Morrison. I even said to Mark let's talk first because I didn't want to say a for sure yes, I would have to think about it because I questioned whether or not I can actually do this. I called a buddy of mine, who is known as 'El Fuego', his real name is Rob. I asked him if he had a ring, and he said that he would set one up. I got in there and said OK, apparently it is like riding a bike, so afterwards I confidently called Mark Carrano and said, let's do this."

And people started nudging me and the guys would say, 'you've got to put your foot down!' And I put my foot down by saying, 'that's not what wrestling is.'

TNA>WWE:

"So there was a time, around 2006, 2007, around that time, the two hours on Thursday nights, the ratings, the momentum, along with a young AJ Styles. You had the Main Event Mafia on one side, on the other side you had myself, Mick Foley, arguing with each other, and you had AJ Styles on the other side of the fence, it was a natural, give and take, push and pull, and over that period of time, it did nothing but elevate AJ Styles. You think about that. It was good TV, and it goes down in history as being the heyday of TNA Wrestling."

1/3/2018

Brock sulking:

Brock Lesnar has worked more than his current agreed dates foe WWE, so when he was told he would be dropping his title at Mania he decided he didn't need to be on TV, so didn't appear on TV. No word if we will see him again before the big one, but WWE have Paul Heyman to fall back on for the build of the match. He will be at a live this weekend though.

Heyman's new client:

Should Brock leave WWE Paul Heyman may become Ronda Rousey's manager.

Injury:

Liv Morgan cut her thigh distressing her pants, whilst wearing them, at SD this week.

Neville forced back to table:

WWE have played hardball to get Neville back to the table for talks about him returning. After walking away from the company last October the Englishman hoped to sit out his remaining deal and quietly leave, but WWE have frozen his contract, meaning he will not be free until he physically works the dates he contractually owes them. They have successfully used this tactic in the past to keep Rey Mysterio and Daniel Bryan on their books, against the talent's wishes.

Cena vs Taker:

The Meltzer has declared Cena vs Undertaker will happen at WrestleMania this year, because WWE wouldn't let him mention it on TV for nothing, adding that unless the dead man was injured in training, which he has no knowledge of, if it happened, the talk of Rey coming in to face Cena is to distract from the dream match.

Shelton pulled by police:

Shelton Benjamin says he was pulled over by police while he was driving around with a loaded gun in his rental car, unbeknownst to him...

"I rented on a Sunday and I dropped it off Wednesday morning. But Monday night while going to the town we were going to have the TV taping, I got pulled over for speeding. Luckily, I have great cop etiquette. I didn't look in the glove compartment, he asked me for my information and I normally keep it on the dashboard, so I just handed it to him. And it was cool. I know how the climate is.. the cop was cool. He said, 'where are you going,' the usual questions. Then he was like, 'alright, I'll let you off with a warning, just make sure you slow down.' And that was the end of it. When I pulled the gun out the first thing I thought was, 'what if I had thrown the information in the glovebox?' That was the scary part to me because there was no way how I can explain away why there is a loaded gun in my glove compartment. No one would believe it. All things considered everyone is fine. But, I could have easily been arrested because I can't explain the gun. And there is a whole domino effect. Obviously WWE would not look kindly on that kind of thing."

Main event in doubt:

WWE are concerned about the main event of Mania and are keeping Braun Strowman free for the show in case. It is not Brock's status thay are concerned about, but Roman Reigns'. They fear the drug seller that claims Roman as a client has real damaging evidence implicating him and that they are sitting on it until Mania week to get maximum press coverage for the story. They may be forced to ban him if they can put the smoking gun in his hand.
