In this interview Jeff Jarrett says he has respect for David Arquette: "In my office, up here in my man cave so to speak, I got a picture of the triple cage, an action shot of David. I'm blessed I always got to look at the business through the promoter's eyes. You don't have to. You can choose to do this. I'll say this, David, nobody held a gun to his head and said, 'You got to do this.' He wanted to do this. So he came into this business. He didn't have creative control. He didn't call the shots, so I've never thrown shade on him. I've never looked down on him. Look, he did what he was asked to do and did it pretty damn good. Now fast forward 20 years and he has this affection for it, and we text back and forth and stay connected. I mean, for what he did and the incident that I'm still not completely clear but I saw him at All In and we hugged. 'Dude, great to see you!' I joked with him through the years, the only reason Jeff Jarrett's name got mentioned on David Letterman was because David Arquette said it. I got a lot of respect for Dave personally that he took a scenario 20 years ago, and now fast forward, he doesn't have to be doing this, but it's pretty cool. The documentary and then RJ City. He dug into it. He dug into this industry, and I'm happy for him."

Speaking of Papadon here's the statement he released: "I don't know where to begin. I'm gutted. Heart broken. I just realized we spoke yesterday (Monday) morning and we were joking it up w one another. Ed (Havok) having you in my life as a tag partner, a friend, but most importantly a brother was an honor and a privilege. All the miles and good times we had with each other & w John K Shea, Michael Tobin, Stephen Carrasquillo, L Louie Ramos, Luciano Boogalou Ayala, Jorel Kony Arroyo, Dameon Slugga, Grim Reefer, Gus Matos, Matt Wallace, Danny Maff, Laython, Dee Erazo,& many others will forever live in my heart. We were there for each other for our highs and lows outside the ring in our personal lives. We butted heads at times but we ALWAYS had each other's back. Thank you to all that reached out with your kind words both on social media & reaching out to me personally, I appreciate it. Shows how much he was loved for his great personality and kind heart. To all the Doghouse family members Ed loved you all. He was a great guy in and out the ring. He was a son, brother, husband, but most importantly a great dad. Until we meet again my brother. This huge cup of coffee is for you. I LOVE YOU. Godspeed. My condolences to the Toscano family." (PWI)

Here's a new http://sportingnews.com/au/wwe/news/wwe-2021-wrestlemania-backlash-pro-wrestling-damian-priest-the-miz-bad-bunny-john-morrison/70ly3n55qwz819pbkzy9ivpty Damian Priest interview.

3:00 PM ET. Bayley is disappointed Becky Lynch didn't come back: "I think it was wishful thinking and people ready to see Becky back and ready to see me get my butt-kicked, I guess. It's not gonna happen because she didn't come back, suckers. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it'll happen sometime. We both have some time left here and we both still have a lot of things we want to do. I'm sure she has a list of things she wants to do, and the last time I think we were in the ring together may have been when I beat her up with a chair, maybe a few times after that, but I'm sure she's ready to get her hands on me, and I'll be ready because I've been doing a lot since she's been gone. This is consistent Bayley right here. No time off for me. I've been making moves, Becky Lynch!"

John Silver says he doesn't always have to be a tough guy: "Most people don't know this but, I can make a joke and then beat the shit out of someone. It doesn't matter to me. I don't think I always need to be angry because that doesn't make you a tough guy. I can joke around and then choke you out. I do kickboxing and jiu-jitsu. I did amateur wrestling growing up. It's not in my personality to be angry and try to be a tough guy. I'd rather make you laugh and then break your jaw then say, 'I'm going to beat you up.' It's a cliche. I can act like myself. I can joke around and then beat the shit out of you in the ring."

Drew McIntyre on who he'd like to thank: "But behind closed doors, I was definitely not healthy, not in a good place. Thanks to a good support system, and especially my wife, and it's interesting, the theme of the book, the strong female leads in my life that led me to be the guy I am today. Starting with my mother then my wife, you know, took some strong women to get this big man back on track."

Here's a new Maria Kanellis interview.

4:00 PM ET. Taylor Wilde portrayed Warrior's first wife on Dark Side of the Ring: "Like anything in life, you can have multiple opportunities show up at the same time after long periods of stagnation. While I was waiting for my visa to get approved, I got the opportunity from VICE TV and Dark Side of the Ring to play the wife, Shari Tyree, of the Ultimate Warrior. The focus of that documentary is the story told from her perspective because she is the surviving member of the two as he passed away."

5:00 PM ET. Here's a new Mr. T interview and a new Jon Moxley one.

NXT did 697,000 viewers last night with a 0.17 18-49 demo. That's down from 761,000 and a 0.18 last week. (SBD)
