Booker T stated on his Hall of Fame podcast that wrestlers cannot blame writers if they fail to perform, explaining that while writers can create characters, it's up to the wrestler to make them work through talent, preparation, and star power. He used The Undertaker as an example, noting that what could have been a strange short-term gimmick of "playing a dead guy who doesn't sell anything" became a main event character for 30 years because Undertaker's in-ring work carried it. Booker emphasized that a wrestler's in-ring ability and star power are what truly determine their job security, not the quality of writing they receive.

Former WWE star Heidenreich revealed during an interview on Insight with Chris Van Vliet that he had a storyline idea for a potential WWE return that would have involved stalking and abducting Vince McMahon.

Heidenreich said the motivation would have been revenge against McMahon for cutting him from WWE in 2006, though he never returned to the company so the storyline remained just an idea.

Cody Rhodes explained that fans often misunderstand no-selling in wrestling, clarifying that the old-school babyface comeback wasn't about pretending a move didn't hurt, but rather showing toughness by refusing to let the opponent see the pain. Speaking on "What Do You Wanna Talk About?", Rhodes said this technique was common among territory-era babyfaces in the 80s, including Chief Jay Strongbow and Dusty Rhodes, before Hulk Hogan popularized it as the "Hulk-Up." He also noted that Japanese wrestling psychology follows a similar approach, where wrestlers sell the idea that they're trying to hide their pain rather than actually ignoring it.
