There are taping where the wrestlers have had to do two physically hard matches on the same tapings, less than two hours apart. Talent feels that the creative simply does not understand the physical demands that are being asked of the wrestlers.

After that, it’s hard to say. AAA wants to keep the relationship with him because they’ve lost so much talent and he’s got the most mainstream star power of anyone they have, but since the cost of using him is so high, the idea is for him to be used for what was described as a Brock Lesnar schedule. However, there is no deal in place at this point past what is left on his current deal

Romero argued that Lucha Libre should have its own day because Lucha Libre isn’t just a sport in Mexico, it’s part of the culture and history of the country. He said that Lucha Libre generates lots of money from tourism and provides jobs for thousands of people in Mexico.

MCMAHON: [Grinning] Linda and I have been married for 34 years now, but we're really different. She would always read to the kids at night. I'd make up stories for them, and my stories were full of action. Couldn't help it. They've just had their bath and they smell so good, they're tucked into their little beds and they're so sweet that you just want to eat them. I'd tell them a story, kiss them goodnight, and they would be absolutely wired. Linda would have to calm them down. So Shane was scared one night. He thought Dracula was in the closet. I said, "Oh yeah? Watch this." I went in that closet and started growling and yelling, having a battle. I threw a little furniture. Now Shane's really scared to death, until finally his dad walks out of the closet. I said, "Son, you never have to worry about Dracula again. Dracula's dead."

Vince told him Austin was going to be in hi gear as well. So he said he told his wife to monitor his diet and he trained twice a day for six weeks. Then when he got to Texas and saw how big Austin was, he knew Vince had fed him a line of shit, but he said by that point he was okay because he’s gotten himself into good shape and wanted to show off his physiq
