Vince McMahon Off Forbes Billionaires List, Madusa On Paige, HBK Talks Current WWE Product

- Shawn Michaels recently spoke with ChristianPost.com to promote his new "Wrestling For My Life" book and commented on how the current WWE PG product is more profitable for the company:

"It was very successful and lucrative for the guys in it at that time but when wrestling first went sort of mainstream so to speak in the 80s, with Hulk Hogan in it, that was certainly more PG than it was Attitude Era. I would say that way back when in the 50s when it was again on at primetime it was the Gorgeous George era, it was more, certainly more realistic but it wasn't Attitude Era. People talk about the Attitude Era as if it was some kind of longstanding, it was a four-year run out of a line of work that's been around for fifty-plus years. I would always have to say that ultimately everything is done more for the bottom line of making a profit. WWE is more profitable if it appeals to more people."

- After making the list last year, Vince McMahon did not make Forbes' list of billionaires this year due to the WWE stock woes. The Hartford Courant has an article at this link that points out how Connecticut has 16 billionaires on the list this year but Vince is not one of them.

- 2015 WWE Hall of Famer Alundra Blayze (Madusa) was interacting with fans on Twitter during last night's RAW and noted that she was very happy with the video package that WWE did for her induction. She also had this exchange with Paige, noting that she wishes they could have had a match:
