In this interview Britt Baker talks about getting praise from Tony Khan: "Getting praises from him is as good as it gets. I appreciate obviously the fans because they're the heart and soul of professional wrestling, but Tony is the master mind behind everything that we do, so just that he has confidence in me to go out there and carry out his vision and his love for the sport, is a very very cool feeling."

Following his WWE release William Regal has released this statement: "Thank you to WWE for a wonderful 21 year run. You gave a lad who was happy and in wonderland wrestling on a carnival have a charmed life for 21 years. No complaints and please no one waste time replying as I won't have a bad work said against the company. I will add that WWE saved my life in 1999 when they didn't need to, kept my family fed and took me all around the world. You have my gratitude forever. You allowed me to live a charmed life."

Former ROH owner Cary Silkin reacts to all the recent WWE NXT releases: "To quote the great W.C. Fields, 'it baffles science.' It makes no sense. I mean, when the whole thing went down with Triple H, and I don't know how his health is. I am close with Brian Kendrick and he said, 'Yeah, he had a heart procedure,' but that was months ago. WWE, at least what I saw, correct me if I am wrong, they basically dismantled NXT to what we knew. Then with yesterday with Regal, and Road Dogg. And speaking to this guy or that guy, and I don't speak to many. It was brought to my knowledge that Road Dogg and Triple H were really close. So, I don't know, maybe Vince McMahon is going crazy, completely crazy. I did communicate with Samoa Joe today, just to say, 'Hey man, I am sure you're going to be fine.' He was like, 'Yeah, I am going to take a month off and just sort it out,' and see what his next move is. But there's a lot of that going on."

Here Impact's Scott D'Amore comments on James being in the Royal Rumble: "WWE wanted it, Mickie wanted it and Impact Wrestling's philosophy is always to work with other major promotions to create buzz for the fans. Everything is signed and agreed with WWE and Impact Wrestling - the only question is whether or not Mickie will enter one of WWE's most historic annual matches as the reigning Knockouts World Champion."

Turns out Ric Flair was full of it when he said that WWE can't use "The Man" any more -- they CAN but are just choosing to move away from it on their own even though they still have some Becky Lynch merch with it for sale. (FF)

Big E talks about his friendship with Wale: "I am so thankful for this brother because he has supported me in ways even beyond wrestling. I'm not into having celebrity friends for the sake of celebrity. We have such genuine conversations, he's such a hilarious dude. Beyond music and wrestling. That's my friend, that's my brother and it's dope to be able to go on this ride with him."
