Triple H, Shawn Michaels answer questions at Axxess

Two of the most popular WWE Superstars in the WWE, Triple H and Shawn Michaels, did a Q&A session with The Fink yesterday at Axxess in the main ring area.

WWE staff collected questions from fans before the Q&A session. The questions were mostly the usual ques about their careers, WrestleMania and the Fink asking "rapid fire questions" where they had to give the first answer that came to mind.

When he asked both where they see their WWE career 10 years down the road, HBK replied, "Over," which got a big laugh from the crowd.

Triple H said that he won't be wrestling but he will still be around WWE to which Shawn said that it's not like he has any different option, considering he's married to the boss' daughter.

When the Fink asked when did it hit them that they are true Superstars, Triple H turned around and pointed to a little girl and a disabled fan in a wheelchair and said that when he see smiles on their faces when he's out that really shows him that he made it. The answer got an applause from the crowd.

Steve Austin Interview

Stone Cold comments on his Hall of Fame speech:

"I’ve been trying to come up with a speech," he continued. "I’m so thrilled and excited about this. But going up there and talking about myself the real person, not 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin the wrestler, is a whole different ball game. You wouldn’t think that Stone Cold, the character, would ever get emotional, but I am a pretty emotional person... Wrestling was a large part of my life, and it’s hard to draw one straight line, or one train of thought, through it. So I’m going to make the best of it and just wing it."...More?

Shawn Michaels says WrestleMania 26 will Probably be his Last

Highlights of an interview Shawn Michaels did with Chicago rock station Q101 as reported by prowrestling.net:

When asked about his last WrestleMania he said he feels the NEXT WrestleMania will be his last, as his contract will expire about then. His sons have started to take an interest in him as opposed to their mom and he wants to take advantage of that. He says he will probably be back in the WWE when they become teenagers and think that he is a "dork and don't want to hang around with him anymore."

Says his last several WrestleMania post plans are always the same. He goes back to his hotel room with his wife and kids and order a pizza and watch cartoons. He also mentions he eats a ton of chocolate chip cookies and cheese cake as he has a sweet tooth.

When asked about his first meeting with Vince McMahon, he said it was after the Rockers were in the WWF for a few days and they go involved in a bar fight. Vince went up to him and said "Nice boots. They look like they were made for walking...so hit the road your gone."

When asked which Superstar had the worst BO he said Vader. When asked which Diva he wouldn't want to be married to, he said Melina because of how she screams. His most embarrassing moment was at a house show when he ripped his pants right by his butt and he didn't have anything on under his tights. Triple H had to go and get duct tape to fix them during the match.

Booker T States Recent WWE Actions has "Restored his Faith"

Booker T posted the following message on his Legends of Wrestling Fanfest website:

A few days ago I sent a letter to the wrestling world explaining my anger and remorse at how I felt the WWE handled the situation regarding their abrupt pulling of several invited guests to the Booker T. Legends of Wrestling Fanfest. Within minutes of the letter being posted, we received hundreds and hundreds of e-mails showing your support of the Fanfest. It appears that the WWE got the message as well, as they have since allowed a true living legend Jimmy “The Mouth of the South” Hart to rejoin the Booker T. Fanfest on tomorrow, Friday, April 3, 2009 here in Houston, Texas. This action restores my faith in the WWE and I’m grateful that they reconsidered. I want to thank everyone that has supported me and remember, if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. Thanks again, and I’ll see you at the Fanfest!

Booker T.
