- Brian Gewirtz explained how the team behind "Young Rock" chooses what stories to cover on the series. (via TV Insider)

It has always been one of our main goals to change the way in which pro wrestling has been portrayed on network television. With our show, a network comedy, we really wanted to take a scalpel to it and show that these are real people with real lives. For Dwayne, it’s two families he pays tribute to. There is his actual family and then part of this wrestling lineage from locker rooms over multiple generations. Then with me being with WWE for a decade-and-a-half, it was very important we got it right while still getting the comedy out of everything because we wanted to be funny as well. This season is special even from a wrestling perspective because it’s so prominent from all three timelines we visit.

It’s an embarrassment of riches. Our process involves this big story conference where we meet in a big room with Dwayne telling all these stories from the past. Even stories as it relates to his dad from what his dad [Rocky Johnnson] has told him and [mom] Ata as well. [Creators] Nahnatchka Khan and Jeff Chiang have always been wrestling fans. Anyone who works on this show and across the board has become such a huge wrestling fan themselves. So when we shoot the wrestling stuff, those are the most fun days on set.

- Drew McIntyre's choices for a hypothetical 2K Showcase on his career (via Metro)

‘It was all going to plan at that point, until it wasn’t! So, we have to fast forward about 10 years for the next Showcase, which would probably be – I don’t know if you can a Showcase in the Royal Rumble, but that was obviously a significant moment in my career,’ he said of the 2020 edition.

‘The [WrestleMania 36 title match] with Brock [Lesnar], and then there’s a couple of title defenses in there that I loved – there was the one with Seth [Rollins], the series with Sheamus, the match with AJ [Styles], Bobby Lashley.’
