Rick Martel's WrestleMania Memories
There are few performers who have appeared in as many Wrestlemania events as Quebec’s Rick Martel. The former AWA title-holder -- the 25th anniversary of which occurs in May -- enjoyed no less than six such spectaculars, and it would have been seven, had his final tag team match at Wrestlemania X not be cancelled on the day due to time constraints...More?

Kevin Nash on Indy Shows, Steroids, More
Kevin Nash recently spoke to the Bristol Times in CT. He’s working an indy show on March 28th at Bristol Central High School for Northeast Wrestling, that also includes Ric Flair and Jimmy Hart. Here are some highlights:
On working with Shawn Michaels: “Shawn was a little guy and he saw me as the perfect complement to him because I was a gigantic big guy. The combo of the two of us was pretty much unstoppable. I ended up learning from the best ever” Nash said of Michaels. “It was on the job training.”
On working the upcoming indy date: “These shows are more one-on-one,” Nash said. “In the WWE or WCW, there is no fan interaction. You just do your thing and get out. Here, I can spend some time with everyone. I really want to catch up with Ric. […] Wrestling for TNA, I’m lucky enough to be able to do this.”
On steroids: “Now I don’t think it’s a big deal because it’s a different era. Look at Samoa Joe; nobody thinks he takes steroids. There’s always going to be a genetic freak, and people are going to question him, but steroid use is very small. With our financial state in this country, do you think senators should be giving Roger Clemens the better part of a week to appear in front of them? Does he deserve it? But it’s all steroids, steroids, steroids. These senators need to worry about paying their taxes, not steroids. Honestly, cigarette smoke is just as bad. If cigarettes were developed today, the FDA would never approve it. But it’s entrenched. Maybe if there were steroid lobbyists things would be different.”
WWE Rep Confirms Rourke will be at WrestleMania

Triple H Interview with TV.MSN
If you're a wrestling fan, the chance to talk to Triple H is, well, an honor. A 15-year wrestling veteran, the Game is the Man in the WWE. In the ring, he, along with Ric Flair, is one of the most decorated champions in pro wrestling history. His presence is a mixture of intense showmanship and horrifying thuggish behavior (whether he is playing a hero -- i.e. baby face -- or a villain -- i.e. a heel) and has made him one of the most popular and/or hated figures ever in the WWE. Outside the ring, he is equally as interesting. Five years ago he married the boss's daughter, wedding WWE CEO Vince McMahon's "little girl" Stephanie, and the two now have two children. In addition, Triple H has been a huge part of the WWE creative team, coming up with angles and story lines that continue to enchant wrestling fans. Oh, and the dude wields a sledgehammer and enters the ring to a Motorhead tune. C'mon!...More?

Short Clips of Paul & Stephanie's Wedding
Look closely and you will see short clips of Paul & Stephanie's wedding in the video package that aired on ECW last Tuesday.
Commentary on the March 16th
Edition of Raw
Speaking of non-verbal answers Triple H made the statement of the night and he didn’t say a word, either. When Todd Grisham asked him on his way to the car how he persuaded RAW General Manager Vickie Guerrero to lower a steel cage over his match with Cody Rhodes he slammed the door and kissed his wife, Stephanie McMahon. Maybe it's the backstage dynamic; maybe it's the fact that Triple H and Stephanie really are in love; or maybe it's always just an odd sight to see a tough guy like Triple H get all gooey. But any good serial drama needs a couple. Triple H and Stephanie are a good one and I'd love to see them continue their on screen dynamic past Wrestlemania.
