Arn Anderson

“I enjoyed my time in the ring pretty much every single time I went out there because I knew that I had someway, somehow been blessed and actually got to do what I envisioned doing as a child, and now it had come to fruition.”

“If I was the guy, I believe, that was going to stalk anybody, it certainly wouldn't be in a building full of wrestlers.”

“I missed a lot of time with my kids and events with my family.”

“To have a match that's an hour and 15 minutes or whatever it can be, it takes a lot of brilliant minds. Jamie Noble's one of those brilliant minds that never gets credit. Dean Malenko was one of those guys that never gets credit.”

“Mike Tyson is one of those guys that for most of his career and I'm sure, he decided he was ready to quit long before he got beat. Had he just quit when he wanted to, he probably would've never gotten beat. He's just a beast. I'm a huge Mike Tyson fan. You're talking about a vicious son of a gun.”

“I think Lesnar is one of those rare beats that only come along every 15-20 years, even if that and he's just an animal.”

“If the audience is screaming, I don't really care. As long as it's loud and sustained, I don't care who they're screaming for or what they're screaming for. It's when they get quiet, that's when I get nervous.”

“One victory, if it kills you off, you were just being propped up. Anyway, you weren't really over.”

“It would be kind of cool to look at yourself in the mirror as you're having a match.”

“I may have come across as the blue collar working man because that's exactly who I was.”

“You have to enjoy what you do or you're not going to be good at it.”

“Enzo was a guy that put a long time down in NXT with Big Cass, but once they came up to the main roster, you go into a whole different learning phase or you're supposed to. You can't be too hard headed about that because there are people trying to help you and if you don't listen to those people and you fail, then it's on you.”

“Everybody can't be a steamroller, everybody can't be a body guy, everybody can't be a world class technician. But if you've got some of that stuff, you can be around for a long time.”

“I wasn't going to sell out on top, if I was going to be in the main event with somebody I wasn't going to sell out an 80,000 seat arena, I wasn't going to sell a lot of merchandise. I wasn't that guy that you were going to put as the face of your company.”

“Rey never ran over anybody. Rey chopped everybody down a piece at a time and at the end of the night, you bought it because of the way he did it. I think Rey set the standard and opened the door for smaller guys to have a very prominent place in the industry and be incredible in everything they do, and it wasn't about size, it was about quality.”

“You can't have some phantom guy that's got all the authority, that's booking all the matches. It takes that stretch of believability and it goes way, way, way too far.”

“Cesaro, and I've always thought this ever since I saw complete matches and work with guys and be able to do all of the things that he does and you see pretty much all of it in a 15-20 minute extravaganza, I think he's special.”

“It's a proven fact that athletes are all marks for each other.”

“The biggest mistake I would tell any young guy in this business is a guy playing a character. If you are you being you and the more you take being you down, the worse it is. You have to take the real you and make it a little louder, colorful and intelligent, it's hard to screw up being you.”

“I can respect somebody that can do something I know without a shadow of a doubt, even if you backed up $5 million in front of me, I could not do that.”
