Kevin Nash Interview
Wade Keller recently interviewed Kevin Nash on the fallout of the Benoit tragedy. Here are some of the highlights:

The new version of the show will be adapted from a currently running UK version, will run at least six episodes and feature a reality show like deal following the challengers through their real lives as well as their preparation for the competition, in order to add a new dimension of drama.
