– Speaking to Dallas Morning News, Sami Zayn questioned how Lawrence Taylor and Bam Bam Bigelow would’ve utilized social media in the build to WrestleMania 11
“Well, I think a lot of people would have to say – if they’re a longtime fan – Lawrence Taylor is a pretty big deal. And you know what’s so funny? I was actually thinking about this the other day. In the era of Twitter, I’m seeing all these reactions ranging from ecstatic to miserable about the act that I’m going to wrestle Johnny Knoxville at WrestleMania, and I just think what would it have been like if Lawrence Taylor had been wrestling when Twitter had been around? Because guess what – that was the main event of WrestleMania. He came in as a celebrity and main evented WrestleMania. That’s so surreal to think about in this day and age. And I’m sure if Twitter were around then – the field day the fans would have had, the nonsense he would have had to listen to.”

– Speaking with the Dallas Morning News, The Undertaker spoke about Vince McMahon being the one to induct him into the Hall of Fame, and what he expects.
“I have absolutely no clue what he’s going to say. I’m a little bit nervous. There’s no one Vince loves to play practical jokes on more than me, and the fact that the Hall of Fame is on April Fools Day – who knows what’s going to happen? I do know it’s going to be emotional, and I’m not sure to what lengths he will go to not completely fall apart and be emotional. So, yeah, we’ve almost had radio silence here for the last few weeks after I asked him to induct me. So, I have no idea what to even begin to expect from him. … I can only imagine what his mind is doing right now. I’m going to walk out that night looking over my shoulder, looking for anything he could possibly do to me to play some kind of practical joke on me. I don’t put it past him one bit.”
