Hall said he&#8217;s informally scouting talent for WWE since he has the ear of recruiting decision-makers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Mr. Anderson said he&#8217;s thought about returning to WWE because he feels like he&#8217;s in better shape now than when he left WWE eight years ago. However, it&#8217;s not as easy as just calling up Vince McMahon.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson said he decided to mainly take U.K. indies bookings after leaving TNA because the independent scene has blown up recently.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Victoria said she&#8217;s heard from fans wanting her to jump into the new Women&#8217;s division, but she feels like they would wrestle circles around her with their advanced cardio and training. Victoria said she would rather sit back and watch the current talent\u00a0build a division.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria was also asked about the death of Chyna (Joanie Laurer). Victoria got emotional talking about Laurer being the wrestling death, especially being a close friend. She said she was upset when people on social media had an outpouring of support for Laurer after she died, but were bashing her while she was alive. Victoria said Laurer needed to hear some support and positivity during his struggles while she was alive.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-64553673\"><div id=\"pwtor-2877458848\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The trio of Scott Hall, Mr. Anderson, and Victoria (Lisa Marie Varon) were recently\u00a0interviewed on BBC Radio Norfolk\u00a0hyping\u00a0a U.K. independent show promoted by Paige&#8217;s wrestling dad Ricky Knight.
