- Concerning Angle's release, Vince said some of it was confidential, but that it did revolve around Angle's health.

- When asked about Angle's decision to go work for "a competitor" Vince said that he would have liked to have seen Kurt take a lot of time off before getting back in the ring. Vince said that he is upset that Angle is not taking time off to heal his body, not that Angle is trying to make a living somewhere else. Vince said that Kurt was given a full release with "no strings attached", but that the door was left wide open for him to return. Vince said the door is still open for him, but that he wanted Kurt to make sure that his health was of primary importance to him. Vince stressed several times that he was personally upset that Angle was not taking time off from the ring to allow his body to heal.

- Vince is not certain when Chris Benoit will make his "big return", and noted that Benoit is missed right now. However, Vince praised Benoit, saying he was "smart" and wanted to take the time off, both to rest injuries that had build up over time, and also to spend time with his family. Vince noted that while he doesn't always practice what he preaches, he does feel it is important for people to "stop and smell the roses" now and then, and that Benoit was wisely doing that.

- A pointed question was asked about WWE no longer having women wrestlers, but rather just "women who know how to strip". Vince noted there is no training facility specifically for women that produces wrestlers. Vince said they still have women who do more than strip, but only named Trish Stratus (noting she just retired) and Lita. Vince then talked about how the young make demographic likes the "sexiest women on TV" and then said the audience wants to see women in relationships and different roles, before finally just giving the "times have changed" answer.

- Vince said that he has met Trish Stratus' husband, and that he is a great guy. Vince noted that he isn't a bodybuilder or anything, but just a regular guy.

- Vince was asked who the future of WWE is. Vince said it might be John Cena, or it might be Fit Finlay. He said you never know who the fans are going to push, and they decide who the future is. Vince talked about young talent, noting there are guys you expect great things from, but they just plateau and never improve.

- McMahon said that Cryme Tyme is "the opposite of racist". He said "it's fun, that's what we're selling". Vince said no once can claim their organization of being racist. McMahon said some will take exception to the characters but, "If I'm not pissing someone off, then I'm not doing my job". Katie Vick was something he thought was hilarious, but others didn't. He's in the entertainment business, and sometimes people will be offended. Vince reiterated that he thought "you have to laugh" at Cryme Tyme.
