Bret Hart

“If I could go back in time, I would have loved to have done more with Triple H. He blossomed into a bigger star after I left. I regret, looking back now, that we didn't have more matches or better matches or at least one pay-per-view match where we could have really showed our best stuff - or, at least, I did.”

“I think WCW will kill any kind of joy in your life. I think I started hating money. The money they paid me was insane, but I would be off and fly first-class airplane, luxury cars and hotels, and then arrive at the arena and have Eric Bischoff tell you 5-10 minutes after 6 P.M. that you are off tonight.”

“There is an art to wrestling, and there is a need to do it right. Cody Rhodes exemplifies all the right things.”

“I have nothing but respect for John Cena and his work rate. He's one of the hardest-working wrestlers there ever was. He's been a great champion, an inspiring role model. It's not easy being John Cena and carrying all the weight of the company on your back all the time.”

“If you watch wrestling like I do, you watch for the wrestling. There's so much talking. There's some 'twit' back there with a pencil behind his ear writing down all these things for wrestlers to say.”

“The Undertaker stood up for what was right. He earned everything he got.”

“I love going back to cities where I had a strong fan base - like San Antonio, Minneapolis - those were really good fan bases, like Iowa and Chicago.”

“The best wrestlers don't hurt anyone for real.”

“I do remember meeting 'The Donald.' He seemed to really enjoy the WrestleMania 4 battle royal. He watched me take a very hard front turnbuckle bump, and it seemed to stun him that I wasn't seriously hurt. Backstage, Trump gave me a big smile and a handshake.”

“I don't have any personal grudge against Vince Russo, but I just know watching the shows that all his shows look the same.”

“If you're going to have a Hall of Fame, you've got to have Owen Hart in the Hall of Fame.”

“If you watch punches, kicks, and moves where there is contact, Cody Rhodes is one of the best.”

“I love when I think about the SummerSlam match against The Undertaker. What a great match, wonderful story. Two wrestlers that had such great respect for one another.”

“Something happened in 1997 that changed the whole industry, at least for the next five, six, or seven years. It wasn't about the 24-inch arms and the cartoon characters anymore. It was about the wrestling and what we were doing in the ring physically.”

“I've always taken a lot of pride that people believed in me as a hero. I tried not to fail them in my life.”

“Seth Rollins is one of the hardest-working wrestlers I've ever seen.”

“You can take your Jake Roberts and your Hulk Hogans and your Ultimate Warriors and a lot of these guys that were big names back then, but they never did anything for me. They never helped me, they never thought of helping me, and when they had a chance to help me, they never did.”

“I owe a lot to Roddy Piper.”

“My heart was always dedicated to giving fans around the world the best match possible, and the fans grew with me.”
