Bret Hart: "I’m grateful he’s [Shawn Michaels] in a better place today. I wish none of the bad history ever happened. I wished I’d never left for WCW because I probably wouldn’t have had a stroke and I probably wouldn’t have had to wrestle Bill Goldberg."
Rick Ross: "When Keith Lee turned his back to me and I realized the size and width of his shoulders and trapezoids, I just had to express my heart. He’s a big motherf*cker. He really is.
It’s a good chance that AEW will get more gifts. I like Tony Khan."
Athena: "I have to see Jon Moxley, Jericho, Yuta and all these guys hit the tar out of each other and I guarantee you, if I was a man, I feel like there wouldn’t be as much backlash... They complain when it’s a dance, they complain when we hit hard."
Eddie Kingston: "When it comes to Adam Cole, none of y’all are as athletic as him, for those people that are saying that [stuff about him]. Also, y’all are jealous. My man’s living the good life. He gets paid to play video games, right? And he got D.M.D."
Jon Moxley: "Even if I win (the IWGP World Title), it’s not going to matter. I’ll be the most overlooked, disrespected, forgotten about, taken for granted wrestler in the history of this business. It’s not gonna matter. But it means something to me."
Bret Hart talks Hulk Hogan: "He was six-foot-eight and a one-out-of-three wrestler. He didn’t know a headlock from a headlamp. He didn’t know very much. He knew how to do a clothesline and maybe a body slam. He was very limited."
Tony Khan on SmackDown’s final 30 minutes being commercial-free: "I can do that too. It doesn’t seem very civil but I have more money than they do so I can afford to do that longer than they can"
Former WWE writer was fired by Vince McMahon after changing lines for PAC
PAC was on-screen w/ R-Truth, Titus O'Neil & Mark Henry. He was scripted to say he 'has a dream too' on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. PAC, Truth, Titus & Mark were against the line.
"I believe that going forward, my next step ... will be to help the new generation of wrestlers in a company like AEW or wherever I land as an agent, as a producer, and as a coach for that company."
- Mercedes Martinez

Toni Storm looks back on decision to leave WWE, says her heart is in AEW:
"Thank God for AEW honestly... there was a time where I wasn’t happy where I was and if it weren’t for All Elite Wrestling, Tony Khan, I don’t know what I would have been doing."
Seth Rollins: If you look at the last 10 years of our career, you’re going to see who’s put on better matches, who’s elevated their opponents.
Roman Reigns has the tools to be a Hogan, a Cena. But he ain’t Shawn, he ain’t Eddie, he ain’t Bret, that's me
Tony Khan: "I just came to run a show on Long Island and it’s like hey, you know, they [WWE] jump in the front of the line, run a show ahead of me, try to beat me in a market. Well how did it work out?"

Owen Hart's Final Day: A POST Profile
John Pollock goes back to May 23, 1999, on the day Owen Hart tragically passed away.
Featuring interviews from those that knew Owen, covered his passing, and were in the arena that day.
Full audio documentary:
"Removing Vince doesn't fix that, because the culture is there […] You have to ask, 'What kind of person would be able to know that that was happening and shrug it off?'"
@sherantsmtl
on the need for accountability among those who enabled Vince McMahon's behaviours within WWE.
Daniel Garcia shares that he’s working with Cezar Bononi to bulk up:
"I never wanna get too big, because I feel like people who are too big, no matter what they wear, they always look crazy... Jacked people cannot put fits on at all. They have no style."

Trinity Fatu: "I thought I would retire with WWE. Never would I have thought I’d be with another company, but that’s the world of wrestling. As scary as it was, I’m here. I’m looking forward to the opportunities and the chance for growth."

Bayley says facing Mercedes Moné at WrestleMania is a dream match for her:
"I just want her to see that, you know, that things are good. Just one more time. I’ll wait for you. You wanna wait a few years? That’s fine. I’ll wait for you."
Malakai Black thanks Kevin Owens & Seth Rollins for being there for him during confusing times in WWE:
"Seth was also someone who was there for me with a lot of advice and a lot of knowledge"
"Kevin would check on me every single week"
“Vince beat Vince. That’s what happened. Nobody put Vince down, Vince put himself down, and I don’t think he ever imagined that.”
@davemeltzerWON
speaks about Vince McMahon's WWE departure on today's POST News.
From NJPW:
"It is with great disappointment that we must announce that due to the ongoing 2018–19 United States federal government shutdown, we were unable to obtain visas for our Japanese talent who were looking forward to seeing our US fans at the New Beginning in USA".
Bully Ray: "I always told Kevin that he was the chosen one. He is like the Neo of the shirt guys. He’s gotten farther than anybody else."
Kevin Owens: "I know. I made it in a t-shirt. CM Punk is furious."
Bret Hart: " It’s one thing to be appreciated as a wrestler, it’s another thing to be appreciated as a Canadian.”
Hart speaks to

in an exclusive for POST Wrestling as Hart's plaque was unveiled on Friday for Canada's Walk of Fame.
Ronda Rousey: Bruce Prichard is basically Vince McMahon’s avatar; if he’s still around, Vince still has a hand in the business. Vince was still running things through Bruce when he was “gone” before
