Jim Ross Comments on The Undertaker vs. Triple H HIAC at WM 28
"As far as Undertaker vs. HHH inside HIAC, one can safely say that these two future Hall of Famers have logged more WrestleMania main events than they have left. Am I saying that this is the last time that we see either HHH or Undertaker compete at a WrestleMania? No. However, no one ever beats Mother Nature which is why I think that these two, talented, dedicated and passionate veterans will have a match for the ages inside the unyielding HIAC. Both know what to do inside ’Satan’s Structure” to maximize the impact of their presentation. I see two, proud men wrestling as if this could be their last WM match because no one can guarantee our tomorrows."

Highlights From CM Punk's Interview with Peter Rosenberg at Hot97
On smart/internet fans: "More power to them but you can take any one of those people and give them the position of booker and they would lose their mind. They don't realize the intricate little things that go into putting stuff together.
"On top of that, we worry about ratings in this company which, to me, is madness at this point. Ratings don't mean anything expect to the sponsors. Which is why we do it because we want to keep sponsors happy. ... I just think everyone loves being negative. 'Ah! Punk came back too soon. They did this,' and it's like, 'Shut up and enjoy it.' Yeah. I know that sometimes it gets really, really bad. You can be vocal about that. But they don't let anything play out. They almost forget that there's going to be a Raw next week."
On his relationship with Triple H: "It's pretty good, I think. [Laughs.] I mean, you know, honestly, I guess I'll never really, truly know. We have a good, open relationship, I guess. We talk. He's very knowledgeable about the business and he's in a spot that he knows about a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff that fascinates me. I pick his brain about that stuff."
On Brodus Clay getting on TV only to be taken off shortly thereafter: "[Triple H] is in a position and now I'm in a position where I can ask him, 'OK. I don't understand why we put a guy like Brodus on TV and then he's off TV for two weeks. Explain that to me, Hunter.' Then he tells me, and I get it.
"We're not just catering to the people that are probably watching this. [Waves to the camera.] We're catering to a much wider audience."
Irate HBK: “Am I better than Triple H?”
In an exclusive phone interview with WWE.com Thursday, WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels lost his composure when faced with pointed questions pertaining to Triple H and The Undertaker’s Hell in a Cell Match at WrestleMania.
The conversation with HBK began amicably, as "Mr. WrestleMania" expressed satisfaction that his best friend had finally agreed to The Phenom's WrestleMania challenge. The tone of the interview changed, however, when it turned toward a topic The Deadman had broached during Raw SuperShow Monday night, and HBK was faced with the question, "If Triple H wins at WrestleMania, will he be better than you?" Michaels grew increasingly incensed in his response, culminating in a heated conclusion to the interview. Click here.
