Booker T was interviewed by the Miami Herald today to discuss the PPV and his Legends of Wrestling Fanfest over Wrestlemania weekend in Houston, Texas. It's a long piece and well worth reading. Booker noted that Ring of Honor could have blocked him from running his convention as they had right of first refusal since both events are in the same facility but didn't, so he's offered to make an appearance on their show as a thank you. He said that his role in TNA is to help younger talents find themselves and also noted that he and his brother, former WCW wrestler Stevie Ray have personal issues that preclude them from having a relationship right now.
When asked about talent suddenly being booked by WWE to appear at Wrestlemania festivities after they took the Booker convention, he commented, "Ron Simmons is still within his 90 days, and they told him he can't do it,. Torrie Wilson is involved in a match at WrestleMania, so they thought it was a conflict of interest. I don't know how. Nick Bockwinkel hasn't had anything with WWE for quite some time, and all of a sudden he's doing something. Tito Santana has pulled out as well. 'I was surprised more than anything because it is for charity. I don't think that PWA is riding the coattails of WWE. This is the city of Houston. A city I've grown up in. I really think we're taking the high road on this. We're not trying to bash anybody or beat anybody up. Hopefully, we'll get a donation from WWE for our foundation. Hopefully, they will give money to the foundation and try to do damage control.''

TNA Knockout Sojo Bolt was interviewed by Splattertribe.tv to promote this Friday's TNA house show in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, discussing breaking into the business and her run thus far with TNA. She noted one of her favorite memories was getting the chance to meet former WWE star Nora "Molly Holly" Greenwald, who may end up rivaling Bobby Eaton as the most liked person in the history of professional wrestling when it's all said and done.
