Two things I have never done and never plan to do are catch Coronavirus or meet Jelly Nutella in person.

I've had experience in management and TV and hope to be able to lend some of that to TNA and maybe persuade some wrestlers to come in this direction because of the influence I've had on their careers in the past.

I've been a fan of one particular guy since I first saw him in 'Ring of Honor' eight years ago. He was Tyler Black then, but he's Seth Rollins now. And I think he's just the whole package.

John Cena's success was the least surprising.

A lot of people say now, 'John Cena doesn't work.' Well, John Cena does the things that people go to see John Cena do, and he doesn't take a lot of risks.

The NWA has money, it could have enough talent, and it has the resources of TBS. It just needs someone to give the company direction.

Nobody ever went and saw The Midnight Express and thought their match was bad.

I loved Houston. Those fans would go ballistic.

I was a big fan of The Revival when they were in NXT. I thought they were as good as Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson.

There's a lot of crossover between comic fans, wrestling fans and pop culture fans.

The thing is, wrestling is the oldest form of combat known. The cavemen wrestled. And everyone in the American public can understand that.

We all prosper when folks are more appraised of how great those matches were and how great those talents were from all of the guys who populated the NWA in the '80s.

We got shorted when it comes to recognition for the '80s war. Everybody talks about the 'Monday Night Wars' and the 'Attitude Era,' but it was neck and neck in the '80s.

I didn't get a chance to see Bruno Sammartino regularly because I didn't grow up in the northeast, but he came into Indianapolis in his in-between time of being the champion between '71 and '73 when he worked for Dick The Bruiser because he liked The Bruiser. I got to see him and the The Bruiser against the Valiant Brothers.

Between the '80s with The Midnight Express and the '90s with The Heavenly Bodies, and then in the 2000s on the reunions with The Midnights, I think only Bobo Brazil and The Sheik had a longer-running rivalry.

I spent the majority of my adult life in a business where the object is to make people believe that you believe what you say. I was good at that, right?

They way new stars were made in WCW and WWE was by beating the established guys and getting in that mix. When you only have one established guy, that's gonna be hard.

The reason why the tag teams are not main event level attractions in the WWE is because Vince McMahon doesn't like it and doesn't present it that way. He'd rather make individual stars.

I loved Jimmy Snuka as a fan.

Even if people that I was in love with - even if Bobby Fulton inherited a billion dollars and opened All Elite Wrestling, I was never going to be the manager of The Revival on a weekly television basis ever because that would require me being on the road on a weekly basis.

Well, I don't want to say mad, but there was 'heated' exchanges back in the closing days of OVW when I said that I was running our own business there in OVW and they said, no, we are running their storage closet. They didn't actually say that, but that was how they treated it.

I know a lot of people may not really believe this, but I'm kind of outspoken and I like to tell people what I think.

I'm kind of off modern wrestling. I want somebody to step up and impress me.

I think tag team wrestling is every bit as exciting, if not more exciting than singles competition.

When MLW first called me, they said, 'Take a look at the product, see what you think, and see if you can make it even more edgy and more dangerous,' and give me a live microphone and I'm going to do that.

I expected women to get mad at me because I was knocking pregnancy any way shape or form even though I wasn't against the act, just the timing. And also they said, 'Well he's mad because Becky Lynch is pregnant.' No I'm not mad, once again, I'm astonished! At the timing!

Wrestling has gotten so show-biz, it's to the point where people scoff at it.

But wrestling used to be the same as boxing or mixed martial arts. It used to be about conflict, having a fight, who's going to win.

I had been a wrestling fan since I was nine years old.

If the Midnight Express were getting honored, I would be right there with it. I don't care if Satan or Saddam Hussein is going to honor the Midnight Express, they deserve it and I'll be up there with them.

Even though wrestling is getting more popular - wrestling being more popular than it was five years ago is like being the nicest guy in prison, it's not a huge compliment, but it's still taking place.

The WWE is fine. They can afford to not only sign anybody they really want, but they can also afford to sign people just to keep them out of the talent pool that everybody else has.

I'm impressed with what the NWA has done, what Billy Corgan and Dave Lagana and those guys have done, establishing the NWA title to mean more and have more interest again.

Eddie Marlin was a big deal for a long time to a lot of people.

People always say, 'You can't go home again,' but every time I go to the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Fanfest in Charlotte, it feels like I have.

You stand beneath the arthritic boughs of any English oak, and you survey a thousand tales.

There is no reason why the Louvre should be your favourite gallery just because it has the grandest collections in France, any more than Kew should necessarily be a favourite garden because it has the largest assemblage of plants, or Tesco your chosen shop because it has the widest variety of canned beans.

Sixteen years as a freelance features journalist taught me that neither the absence of 'the Muse' nor the presence of 'the block' should be allowed to hinder the orderly progress of a book.

I don't have a constituency, and I'm not autobiographical in any way. I write these deeply moral books in a country which would prefer irony to anything with a moral tone.

Retiring from writing is to avoid the inevitable bitterness which a writing career is bound to deliver as its end product in almost every case.

For all the splendours of the world's greatest galleries, visitors are likely to be kept at arm's length, spectators of a world that can seem too rarefied to let them in.

Storytelling enables us to play out decisions before we make them, to plan routes before we take them, to work out the campaign before we start the war, to rehearse the phrases we're going to use to please or placate our wives and husbands.

My dad didn't have a formal education, but he had a wonderful vocabulary. So in 'Harvest,' I wanted my main character to be an innately intelligent man who would have the vocabulary to say whatever he wanted in the same way as lots of working-class people can.

I stopped being an engaged journalist and became a disengaged novelist.

I was brought up in a flat in North London - virtually the last building in London, because north of us was countryside all the way to the coast, and south of us was non-stop London for 20 miles.

When I was a youngster, I was brought up in a very political background on an estate in north London.

For 'The Gift of Stones,' I spent an afternoon chasing a flock of Canadian geese.

I want to live in a city where the future is being mapped out.

When you start a novel, it is always like pushing a boulder uphill. Then, after a while, to mangle the metaphor, the boulder fills with helium and becomes a balloon that carries you the rest of the way to the top. You just have to hold your nerve and trust to narrative.

Almost everyone who's been to primary school in Britain has had towels put on their heads to play the shepherds in the nativity play.
