Drew McIntyreIn this interview Drew McIntyre says he'll give his all at WWE's live events: "Me, personally, I never had a day where I was like, 'Ugh I have a house show today, or a live event today, or no television cameras today.' That's not something I really went through because I am so obsessed with wrestling, and I have been fired from the WWE in the past, and I do have a greater appreciation and perspective for how lucky I am. But I know a lot of other superstars have felt that way. And there's been times where I've been tired and felt like, 'Man, I don't know if I can give 100% today.' I will never not be grateful; I will never not give 100%. If I get food poisoning and I'm feeling as sick I have ever felt the day of a show, I will be on that show, I'll be giving it absolutely everything I've got. And I know my fellow superstars won't ever have that thought cross their minds of, 'Oh man, I could do for a day off today.' Because now, without having the fans for such a long time, we truly know what we said all along: That our fans are the number one superstar. They create the unique atmosphere of WWE. There's nothing like it on Earth. It's so interactive, they're such an important part of the show. They can change the direction of an interview, they can make an average match good, a good match great, and a great match legendary. I can't wait to have them back."

Here Eddie Edwards says he wants to stay with Impact Wrestling for life: "That's exactly what I want. There is no other option. This is what I want to do. It's something that I really believe in and it's something in my heart and I take a lot of pride, not only in what I do but in what Impact does. I feel we can do so much more and continue to ride this momentum and continue to get better. I want to be the guy at the forefront of it and help be one of the faces of Impact. I know how good it is and how good it can be. I want to be the one wearing the Impact shirt and waving the Impact flag. I want to retire an Impact player."

Speaking of Impact here's a video previewing the "summit" with AEW.

In this interview Gerald Brisco talks about how hard it is for tag teams to find chemistry: "It is really hard for a tag team to find chemistry. I think that's the trouble with, and I'm not going to go into today's product, but they're just put together so quickly and if they don't click and blend within the first month or two, it's broken up. These kids don't have time to develop that chemistry and develop a great tag team. Jack Brisco and I were lucky we were blood brothers. We were real brothers. So, we had that bloodline and that mindset, we both had that amateur wrestling background. We had the exact same coaches from middle school, all the way through high school, and all the way through college.. so it was easy to kind of read the mind... and we were great at reading body language. When you have a partner like that, where you can just look at and look at his body positioning, you know? Even with the Funks we had such great chemistry because we knew where they were, except Terry Funk was kind of crazy and we could never really figure him out. But we kind of knew what direction the match was going and where to go just simply by body positioning."

Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Undertaker talks about the heel turn for Roman Reigns: "I'm so proud of where he is. The night of Survivor Series in November, I went up to Roman and Jey Uso and said, 'This is the most compelling story that we've done in a while.' And where he's been able to take it, it's so good. It's not forced. Roman is hitting on all cylinders. I think he's a great heel - coldhearted, calculated. There is a compelling backstory and you still feel the tension when Roman appears. Like I said, I'm really proud of him. I wish I had the gas in the tank to work a program with him now. It would definitely be something special."

Here Matt Cardona talks about facing Nick Gage: "I don't know how it started on social media. A fan tweet something and I responded. It got kind of personal and I was like, 'Dude, I don't want to do this deathmatch stuff.' That's not my style at all. He kept calling me out and calling me out. They even promoted me for one of their shows when clearly I had a booking somewhere else. The whole crowd was chanting. At one point, I have to stand up for myself. I have to be a man and shut him up. Deathmatch wrestling, I respect the hell out of it. It's not for me or my style, but when I dropped him with the DDT, I sliced my elbow on the glass. I'm doing the offensive move. There's no doubt that it's dangerous and real. I was walking to the back wondering where the blood was coming from, and it was coming from me. Am I crazy for getting involved? Probably. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't afraid, but I've been through worse than a deathmatch with Nick Gage. He says he's been locked up, I was locked up in WWE for over a decade. I beat cancer twice. I'm certainly sure I can survive Nick Gage."

According to Dave Meltzer, WWE is not currently looking to have Brock Lesnar make an appearance at SummerSlam this year. (wInc)

In this interview Micki James talks about how her NWA deal came together: "It's a pretty amazing thing. Billy and I have always been friends, we go back a long time, and I wanted to find something that felt right for me. I've talked and thought about wrestling here or there and doing all these things. I did that the last time, I made the rounds and it's awesome, and I might still do some of that stuff, but I wanted to do something that I could really sink my heart and teeth in. This is ours and mine. I'm still an independent contractor, but I'm building a brand and a company. It's something cool and has been needed for a long time. I tried to do it and now I have an opportunity to do it and build my vision. There will be tons of opportunities to build women's wrestling the right way. In 80 years of wrestling on television, we've only seen it from a male perspective. We've only seen female storylines from a male perspective. That's okay and how we got here, but in this day and age, there are an immense amount of uber-talented women who know how to make money in this business that can really help build the foundation and be that core that helps grow women's wrestling as a whole."

Here Alexander Wolfe talks about the original plans for SAnitY in WWE: "So first they told me they had an idea for a group, and I'm a part of it. William Regal at that time told us Triple H had this idea for years. He wanted to have a crew of certain individuals. Everybody's one of a kind, but they fit together. We wanted to know about the idea, the details and such. Do you know the movie Smokin' Aces? In the movie Smokin' Aces, you have a trio of brothers. They're super crazy. They're mercenaries. They're assassins, but they don't come in, and sneak in, and kill with silencer and go. No, no, they bring out the bazooka and the shotguns. They take a bullet to stab somebody. They're totally nuts and totally crazy, and they had this weird look. They kind of look like a version of Mad Max. The characteristic were kind of like Neo Nazi, steampunk with a mohawk and goggles. And he said, 'I want to have a group like this.'"

This week's NXT broadcast did a 0.20 18-49 demo and 669,000 viewers. (PWI)

In this interview Hornswoggle talks about how he's doing during the pandemic: "A funny thing is it's like Curt Hawkins, I call him Hawkins, Brian Myers, whatever people want to call him, the stripper for one episode of Smackdown, whatever. He made a good point. Like in Wisconsin, the pandemic and COVID never really like was real, so to speak, because we shut down for like a month and a half, two months and it sucked, but I've been spending more time with my son. My son was doing full home school at the end of last year and then 50 50 this year and then finally the second semester till tomorrow is his last day has been fully back in school, which is like they needed that. The kids needed that. But I loved it, like being able to have virtual school, my son, and be around him. It's stressful, but I mean, I love it. There's another thing to put on a belt. I just love being a dad. Like, it's just it's my favorite part of life. It really is. He's such a good kid. And he's fun and he's funny. He woke me up at 6:30 this morning. He woke me up this morning blasting, pardon my French, fucking ACDC. I was so angry at him, I've never I like I said, Landon, it's 6:30. We don't need to hear Hell's Bells and TNT and this, that and the other thing on repeat at six-thirty a.m. I don't care that you're happy that the school year is over. Just put on something smooth, put on some Anthem Lights or like something nice. You don't need to be blasting ACDC, He goes 'Dad start of the day, let's go'. But it's just he is just the best. I have so much fun with him as you can see how my social media, I have so much fun with him, whether it's just pranking the hell out of him every day I try to get him every day with one thing or another. I try to get him. And it's just fun. I love being a dad, so in a roundabout back to your question, the pandemic is all actually been not awful. My company, AEW Wisconsin, has actually been running since last August. Like we took two months off, but then we've been running friendly, COVID friendly shows and social distancing and it's been awesome. It's really been, pandemic as much as it's sucked. It's also like I've tried to find the positives in it."

Here Kyle O'Reilly talks about being in the fatal five-way: "Last year, when they brought it back, dealing with the pandemic, I had stepped away for a bit. In Your House came about and getting to see it with the house set and the red, white, and blue ropes, it was such a cool throwback. The nostalgia feelings were very real and now, this year, I get to compete at In Your House and I'm very excited. It's a unique opportunity. I love In Your House. I was so bummed (not being able to compete last year), but then to see it become a yearly thing, that's awesome. I'll be part of it this year and hopefully next year."
