"That time-honored tradition... that is the biggest bunch of bullsh*t I've ever heard. It almost goes against the grain of every territory, and really even in through Hulkamania days and the 90s... what do you do to a legend? You protect them. You make up for their shortcomings in the ring... you kind of respect and take care of the integrity of the business.""The most important or valuable customers that paid, on average, 850 bucks for one guy... they weren't there to see anything other than John Cena’s last match. When you have the entire arena chanting the things that they chanted, and them saying, 'oh yeah, this is the exact desired reaction.' Maybe it is. Maybe that is the desired action going to... but time-honored tradition bullsh*t, that that's silly.""Why do I think it was the single dumbest finish? Because I think it is a direct slap in the face of our industry. Never give up. Do you know how impactful it is if I'm in a room full of bankers or TV executives... and I can look them in the face and a non-wrestling fan and say, 'Do you know who holds the record for the most Make-A-Wish visits in the history of that organization? It's a professional wrestler. Yes, it's John Cena.' His whole mantra, hustle, loyalty, respect... Never give up. And you're gonna get this bullsh*t that we got to get heat on a heel in a time-honored tradition? Conrad, it's the silliest, most ridiculous argument that people are throwing up.""Gunther, he got some heat. There's no doubt about it... But when Hunter came through the curtain... and they booed the shit out of him, it's almost as if, like, he got that ref heat. And ref heat don't draw money. It never have and never will... Sure Gunther is going to get some heat, but the real heat out of that match was on creative and that doesn't draw money."

Queen Aminata speaks on her neck injury, says she’s doing better but still not ready to return yet:“My neck isn’t something I'm willing to gamble with. So, when I come back, I'm going to come back better, stronger, juicier, sexier.Between seeing the chiropractor, seeing a massage therapist, and training in the gym, let me tell you, this schedule is hard. It's tight. Recovery is not easy… my neck is doing a lot better, but we are not quite there yet.”
 


Alex Windsor (Windsaaah) told Metro that she could tell how much Mercedes Mone wants to help other wrestlers after having worked with her: “You can tell how much she wants to help other people. I had the one singles match with her, and she took the time to just explain things in such a way, it made me feel like, ‘that makes so much sense.'”
 


Seth Rollins on the origins of his Stomp finishing move:"The Stomp, I stole it. Straight up yoinked it. I stole it from Alex Shelley, who wrestles in WWE now. He stole it from a Japanese wrestler named (Naomichi) Marufuji. Marufuji is like a God when it comes to innovating wrestling moves."Neither of them ever did it as a finishing move though. I think I was the first person to ever do it as 'bam, finish'. I was on a live event in 2010 or 11, and at the time I was doing a different finisher but using the Stomp as a signature move, and it just looked so nasty that the guy producing the show TJ Wilson, who is still a producer for WWE now, he was like 'you should really think about using that as your finish finish'."The next night, had another non-televised event, I did it as the finish and then that was my finish from then on."
