Drew McIntyreIn this interview Drew McIntyre wishes for what we all wish for from Survivor Series -- for the matches to mean something: "The idea of building momentum and being one of the survivors is cool, but I would like to see the stakes raised slightly and just make the particular match more compelling because that's what it is all about for drawing people in. 'They won, cool, I want to see them keep winning,' we could raise the stakes. I have a few ideas, but I saw Woods' idea and I thought that was pretty clever. I know he always has some other ideas up his sleeve. The losing team has a five-way to figure out the fire five and the person left last would be first in the Rumble and the winning team fight in a five-way to decide the last five and the last man standing would be number 30 in the Rumble. I thought that was pretty interesting."

WWE is trying to get WALTER to move to the United States and possibly move to the main roster full time. Originally he didn't want to leave his other jobs or his family behind but as of the writing of this news he's reportedly only working for WWE and has left his other employment behind. (WO)

B. Brian Blair was released from the hospital on November 15th for an emergency (and undisclosed) surgery (WO) so presumably he's doing much better know. We wish him all the best.

Samu (of The Headshrinkers) had surgery on November 16th to have kidney stones removed. (WO) We hope he's doing well too.

In this interview Roman Reigns talks about the possibility of a future big match with The Rock: "I don't think I necessarily have to say much. I think that body of work and that competitive nature that we all have within WWE or anybody who has ever stepped foot in a WWE ring, it's just a battle to be on top of the mountain. It's the ultimate alpha male showcasing who is going to be the big shark in the tank. I think with everything that I've done, with where I've pushed this persona, and the character work, and my claim, my rightful claim at the head of this table. Us being very close and like family, I don't think there's any other choice. If he ever wanted to get back into a WWE ring, I am definitely the guy he's going to want to be facing off against."

Here Darby Allin talks about having Sting as a mentor: "He's amazing as a mentor. He's the most humble guy. We sit there all day and just talk. As for being someone I look up to, I was too young when he was killing it at the top of his game, but the older I get the more I'm able to appreciate him."

Even though Jay Lethal just signed with All Elite Wrestling, an already taped match between Lethal and EC3 will be the main event of ROH TV next week.

Karrion Kross has wasted no time going back to being Killer Kross.

In this interview Bobby Lashley talks about his title match with Big E: "I think it was phenomenal. It's what I try to say when people ask me about the race thing. The biggest thing for me is I like to make sure that it's a norm. I want to make all these things the norm. Like when I won the title, they were like, 'Oh, you're the third African-American, you're the third black champion, and then Big E was the fourth'. I'm like, 'We don't need to put that next to it anymore. It's just the norm'. I want it to get to the norm with anyone. We don't want to say, 'You're the second African-American, you're the second Mexican, you're the second this'. It's not even about that anymore. I think it's just making it a norm. Everybody gets the opportunity to win that title. We put in the work. You do the things you have to do. You hustle, and you have the opportunity to win it, and it's no asterisk by your name. It's just here's the guy. Here's the guy who it is now. I'm glad that we broke those barriers and started to make this a norm. But ultimately, I just wanted to be, 'Here's your champion, period.'"

Here Jade Cargill talks about her psychology degree: "Oh my gosh, it's helped me tremendously. People don't understand the things that we go through as far as being a wrestler and just being able to have our composure and being able to deal with the outside noise as well as the inside noise that we'll be dealing with. Wrestling of course is physical, but as well as mental and being able to fight through all these body aches and being able to fight through the critics and being able to go out there and prove yourself and to just block everybody out and to focus. It's helped me a lot regarding body language. It's helped me to read people. It's helped me to understand that I know who I am, and I'm not going to let anybody outside of me tell me who I am and what I stand for. I see a lot of people in wrestling, they let people outside of themselves determine who they are, and they let all their hard work and all their years of grinding to be where they are be squandered in an interview or a magazine or an opinion of somebody else. Me being a mental professional, I don't let these things affect me. I could care less about how people feel about me because I know who I am and what I stand for and my goals in this profession. So it's helped me in a lot of ways. It's helped me with my coworkers and me talking to my coworkers and making them feel great about themselves. Because one thing I know for sure is we're not always going to be at 100. Sorry, things happen in a match. Things happen in a match, and you have to be able to pick your face off the ground and keep it moving. If you know yourself and you're mentally stable, you'll be fine."
