Before his WWE release Jeff Hardy was already teasing a Hardy Boyz reunion: "I totally think there is (a chance we'll do it). That's what's exciting about it - just being honest, will it be in WWE or AEW? I feel like there will be one more (time). I don't know that, but it's like everything I've had visions of in wrestling, it's always happened."

Speaking of Jeff Hardy, Killer Kross talks about losing his first match on Raw to him: "When I went up and they asked me to do the match with Jeff and put him over, I was like, 'Sure, that's fine.' I grew up a fan of Jeff and getting to meet him and him being cool was an awesome experience, he's literally one of the coolest people I've ever met. 'That's fine.' One of the agents came to me and was like, 'There's a long-term plan for this so don't sweat it and don't worry.' Okay, cool. I do my entrance and get out there. The ref comes to me and goes, 'Hey, your 10 minute match is down to 90 seconds.' First time we're working on television, we don't really know each other in the ring, our rhythm, they come back from commercial and I'm trying not to laugh. If you go back and watch, I'm smiling, closed mouth, trying to hold it back. As soon as Jeff got in the ring, I snatched him and called what we needed to do and that was it."

In this interview Shawn Michaels talks about his current NXT role as the Vice President of Talent Development: "I've now stepped out of the physical coaching aspect and into the Vice President of Talent Development and focusing more on television, the live show, and creative. The talent pool has gotten very big. To me, the biggest advantage of all of that is the freshness, the newness. When I went from a tag team to a single competitor, I wasn't given a cookie-cutter 'This is your character, this is what you're gonna do.' I was able to have some time to find 'The Heartbreak Kid.' I didn't know who he was at the time but I had an opportunity to evolve this character and make it mine. That's the one thing we're allowed to do now with these new athletes coming in, is have time to sit down, to talk with them, to find out who they are, to get their insight, it really is a collaboration."

Speaking to Renee Paquette, Scarlett Bordeaux reveals a medical issue made WWE scrap plans for her: "I wasn't medically cleared yet. I was having matches before Raw and SmackDown because they wanted me to wrestle. After the second match, everything was going great, I get home and look in the mirror and I'm like, 'One of these doesn't look like the other.' The next day was NXT and I immediately go to medical and I'm like, 'Hey, I'm not sure if I'm going crazy or if they always looked like this. Maybe I'm just tired.' With the adrenaline from wrestling, you don't notice certain things hurt all the time, so I didn't think anything of it. I went to medical and they were like, 'Yes, one of your boobs is totally gone.' I was like, 'I can get the surgery and can manage and be ringside, that's no problem, I just can't wrestle right away.' The plan was, I guess for me to wrestle so they were like, 'When you're totally clear, you're gonna wrestle.' They scrapped all the managing stuff at that point and I was sitting at home for those last four months just waiting."

Speedball Mike Bailey talks about being signed by Impact Wrestling: "I signed the contract literally after the match on Josh Alexander's back. Josh was originally supposed to face Doc Gallows, I believe, but he ran into some border issues because of COVID and the match had to be scrapped and they re-booked it to me vs. Josh Alexander and they announced that if I won the match, I would get an Impact contract. I did not win, but Josh got on the mic and said I deserved it. Scott came out and said, 'You do deserve it' and I signed my contract right there. Wrestling is wrestling and the outcome is predetermined, but it was a nice moment and a nice surprise for everyone, so I'm not going to spoil it. That was overwhelmingly positive, which honestly surprised me. If you know wrestling fans, you know how much they go back and forth and there is a pecking order to how garbage comments are. Twitch chat is always the best. Twitter is usually pretty cool. Facebook is kind of a mess and then you go to YouTube comments and then Reddit and hear all the garbage people have to say. However, when it came to me signing with Impact, it was overwhelming positive, even on places like Reddit and the YouTube comments on the video that Impact posted. That's nice, it's nice to see that some things can be mostly positive."

Here's a new Mick Foley interview and one with Tony Khan.

Adam Cole talks about Kyle O'Reilly signing with AEW: "You think about all the stuff we did for those four years in NXT and how awesome it was with those guys. I think, 'Okay, cool, we had that moment together and it was a fun time period.' Imagining doing that elsewhere is surreal to think. At the same time, I have not not worked in the same company as Kyle O'Reilly since 2009. I started wrestling in 2008. We have worked together as opponents or as a group or tag team since 2009. That small period when Kyle was not in AEW, that was the only three or four months I had not been in the same company as him. It feels right. At this point, I'm convinced that wherever Kyle is, I'm gonna end up. It's just meant to be. Yes, it's beyond cool. I love Kyle O'Reilly to death."

Jeff Jarrett tweeted out that former TNA announcer Don West is back in the hospital fighting cancer again, and on behalf of everyone here I wish him the best in that fight.
