WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair recently spoke with ESPN to promote her new book, "Second Nature." Below are some of the highlights from the interview.

On possibly facing Ronda Rousey in the main event of WrestleMania: "I hope that's the main event of WrestleMania. That's my dream. I hope we can make it happen. She really opened the doors for a lot of women. Having that opportunity would be huge. I don't know what her goals are, but it's just cool that she wants to be a part of our world."

On the popularity Rousey has being an influence within WWE: "I thank Ronda for opening the door for us. If Ronda had never been given that main event spot as a female and doing what she did with it, I don't know if we would have ever been given that chance. Yeah, we were killing it at NXT, but I don't know if the main roster audience and the business side would have thought the women could carry the main storyline and main event a pay-per-view and we did and I think that's because they saw how popular Ronda was and if you give us a storyline, we can deliver and we did deliver, so I want to thank her."

On what she learned from her father, Ric Flair's recent health scare: "He's good. He went home last week. I'd say a couple of positive things came out of it. I had to take two weeks off, which is the longest I've taken off since I've started. So I was able to slow down and realize it's a marathon, not a sprint. Having that time with my dad was so great and it also made my dad realize that he's 68. He has to slow down. They really did tell us that he wasn't going to make it. That was so hard. They gave him a 20 percent chance and we said our goodbyes and then he made out of surgery and every day, he slowly got better."
:whew:
Kenny King recently spoke with the folks at The Baltimore Sun for an interview. Below are some of the highlights.

On how he feels Ring Of Honor (ROH) differs from WWE and Impact Wrestling: "I think the big difference is the crowds. Ring of Honor just as an atmosphere, the electricity of it, that's hard to replicate anywhere. I've been blessed to have wrestled all over the world. I've wrestled in Wembley Arena (in London), I just was blessed enough to wrestle in Arena Mexico. But if you get 3500 in the Hammerstein for a Ring of Honor show, it just feels like a whole other planet. People are invested emotionally, physically, they are willing to give everything. They're willing to give as much energy towards the ring as we are giving in the ring. You can ask guys who have wrestled at WrestleMania and other places like that. They'll tell you the same thing. It's hard to match or emulate the atmosphere at a Ring of Honor show."

On whether or not he feels ROH is the number two wrestling promotion in North America: "That's the biggest difference between my first time in Ring of Honor and now. I think before it was always the little promotion that could. Before it was something that you check out if you want real wrestling, if you want a break from WWE. It was always in this place that it had to prove itself using WWE as a model. Now, ROH is in a place where it's carved its own niche. It moved from being a niche promotion to really carving its own niche for itself. Wrestling in general is at a place where people are seeking out wrestling that isn't WWE. If you're doing that you're looking for something. People keep finding Ring of Honor, and loving Ring of Honor, because people love wrestling. Yes people love the theatrics and the storylines and the promos and all that other stuff too, but people love wrestling when it gets down to it. Ring of Honor has established itself as a place where if you love wrestling, you have to check that place out."

On getting the opportunity to work in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW): "That's a goal for me. I love New Japan Pro Wrestling, and I have a lot of respect for all the guys that are there. I would have to imagine that should I be victorious over KUSHIDA for one of his world titles, that would make New Japan kind of sit up and take notice. Whether it's with ROH at first or not, I definitely want to get to Japan and work over there."
:yeshrug:
Corey Graves and Enzo Amore got into it on Twitter, in what is being described as not being anything set up by WWE and instead done by both individuals on their own.

-- It started with Graves tweeting:

Enzo responded with, referencing Graves retiring from WWE as a wrestler due to effects of multiple concussions:

While Graves seemed to ignore that (or hasn't responded yet), his younger brother - pro wrestler who goes by Sam Adonis tweeted:

If the choice is between Charlotte/Ronda or Roman Reigns 4th straight wrestlemania coronation, I’ll choose the former :yeshrug:

It’s a mute point tho. Vince is dead set on trying to get Roman liked :francis:

Boy Charlotte was pumping up Rousey more than the WWE pumping up Bazler and the 4 Horsewomen during the Mae Young Classic :mjlol:

The NY Daily News has an article up this morning about Shane McMahon's involvement in a legal marijuana company and that he invested $500,000 in the Connecticut-based firm EnviroGrow, which sells the modules in states where the drug is legal for medical or recreational use, in exchange for a large stake in the company.

-- McMahon's interest in the company went public last year when he filed a lawsuit in Connecticut court in which he accused the company’s owner of "duping him about the state of the company."

-- After making the investment, Shane then traveled to inspect the plant and found the company virtually "non-existent." McMahon then demanded his money back but was refused, prompting him to file the lawsuit.
