– Former WWE stars The Highlanders — Rory and Robbie — recently spoke with Slam Wrestling about several topics including Vince McMahon's apparent dislike for tag teams. "Vince McMahon doesn't really like tag team wrestling. That's the understanding we kept hearing from producers and agents and stuff like that," said Robbie. "So, right off the gun, you have a blackball against you, if you're trying to become a star in WWE."

On the subject of TNA, Rory expressed interest in joining the company, saying "We have spoken, yeah, on quite a few occasions and we'll continue to talk. If something happens, it happens and if it doesn't, it doesn't. I've had some good conversations with them. I'd love to work for TNA. Half the guys I know in the business work there for Christsakes. There's a whole bunch of guys down there that I'm friends with. I'd love to work there."
