"Who is on your Wrestling Mount Rushmore?" is a common question asked in interviews. The response depends on the wrestler and what they value. For MVP, he values who the person is outside of the ring, which is why you won't catch Hulk Hogan on his Mount Rushmore. Speaking to Liam Solomon of BetIdeas, MVP was asked if Randy Savage is on his Mount Rushmore. "Oh man, I hate these hypotheticals. Because there are so many greats, you know? There are some people that I think should be on it. It’s a personal preference. It’s all a matter of taste. Would I say Macho Man should be on it, in my opinion? Absolutely, he should be on it. There are many people that would make the case that Hulk Hogan should be on it…I think he’s disqualified in my opinion, because…he’s who he is. Self-admitted, unapologetic, so that’s that. "But because I’m also such a huge fan of Japanese wrestling, as well. And in terms of building up the business domestically, there are some absolute greats globally. You’ve had some huge stars that helped build up the business in England and Japan and in Mexico. So if you’re putting together a Mount Rushmore, is it just American wrestlers? Is it all wrestlers of all time? So there are these questions that you have to ask, to kind of formulate it. It’s like, when people ask me, who are your all time favorite top five rappers. I’m like, well, I can tell you Rakim is number one. Ghostface Killah is number two, and three, four, and five depends on who I’ve been listening to lately and how high I am and what conversation we’re having, you know? It moves around." MVP previously called Hogan a "Pathological Lying Piece Of Human Excrement." In 2015, Hogan was suspended from the WWE Hall of Fame for three years after he was caught using racist language on tape. Elsewhere during the interview, MVP commented on Triple H. You can find his full comments here.

Tommy Dreamer comments on the discussion of TNA stars leaving for WWE, and the belief from some fans that WWE is the only organization benefiting from the working relationship between the promotions. Tommy Dreamer recently appeared on Huge Pop and was asked about the belief from some internet fans that WWE is simply poaching talent from TNA, leading to him and other TNA officials sitting around in a panic over losing names like Joe Hendry to WWE. Referencing Vince McMahon, Dreamer stated that he doesn't want people in his company who don't want to be there. He also mentions that as long as he's around, TNA will be, too, and there are benefits to potential returning names to TNA who currently work for WWE. "I'll take it from and I quote him a lot, Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon didn't want people who didn't want to be there. What player do you want on your team if they don't want to be there? It's a different world. I was with Tony Khan when Jalen Ramsey went on social media and requested a trade, and Tony Khan literally goes, 'I love Jalen. We're going to give him what he wants,' and literally then traded him, he goes, 'Did you see who we got?' He was excited for the two guys that they got and the future, because it's cool. "You don't want to be on my team? That's cool. Go, go somewhere else. I'm also crazy; I had a different attitude towards ECW because I had ECW blinders on. ECW was developmental for the industry. If somebody's contract is coming up, or if WWE -- why would you not want them to go experience something else? Here's also what I will say: this place will always be here. As long as I'm here, this place will always be here. When you come back, you could be an even bigger star for this company, whether you fail or succeed. Think about if AJ Styles ever came to TNA, it's massive. Think of if LA Knight showed up in TNA, right? Motor City Machine Guns. Think of if they return, it's going to be bigger for the company, right?" TNA's World Champion is currently a WWE NXT Superstar, Trick Williams. Learn more about that here. Joe Hendry has been asked directly if he plans to join WWE when his TNA contract expires. He's more concerned about his immediate obligations of helping to grow TNA. Learn more here.

In 2016, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, & Xavier Woods) broke Demolition's record for longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions, holding the titles past Demolition's 478-day record. New Day would keep the titles for 483 days before losing them to The Bar (Cesaro & Sheamus). Though The Usos (Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso) would eventually overtake New Day, Demolition recognized New Day's mark at the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. "When the Hall of Fame was done, I came up and I tapped Kofi Kingston on the shoulder and said, 'Are you Kofi?' 'Yeah, Demolition!' I said, 'Congratulations for beating our record, you son of a gun.' We laughed and everything. Really good guy, him and his partner. He said, 'I'm sorry we broke it.' I said, 'Don't be sorry, be excited. I'm excited for you. Somebody had to break it.' It's great that a couple of good guys took it from us." Barry Darsow (Smash of Demolition) told Ben Veal on Wrestling Life. Elsewhere during the interview, Demolition commented on their WWE Legends deal, revealing the deal is for six years. You can find their full comments by clicking here.
