“Coming from a wrestling background with WWE, I know how much the fans love WWE. They come out every time we're there and there are huge crowds and they're always so gracious, and are some of the best fans anywhere in the world.”

“To be recognized as one of the best, you need to win that WWE title or the World Heavyweight Championship.”

“When I moved to Tampa, Florida I remember going to a Kid Rock concert and I was in one of those sky-boxes. When I walked into the sky-box I didn't know he was there, but I hear a, 'Hi, brother!' I turn around and it's Hulk Hogan. I just got 'brothered!'”

“Every time I step foot through the ropes, I try to entertain and put on the best match possible.”

“I never wanted to be one of those guys who hung on too long.”

“One day, I was flipping through the channels and I happened to flip the channel onto wrestling. I had never seen it before; I didn't know what it was. I was hooked instantly.”

“I had worked with The Shield quite a bit, live events and things like that so we had good chemistry in the ring.”

“WWE definitely gives you the forum, the stage to do different things and see what works. That's the cool thing about being in front of a live audience every single week in WWE. You get instant feedback.”

“Wrestlers are very protective and care about what we do and we're always fighting for credibility.”

“I've pretty much accomplished everything I've ever wanted to do, except main event WrestleMania, and let's be honest - how many people actually get a chance to do that?”

“Tag team wrestling is what put myself, Edge, the Hardys and the Dudleys all on the map. It made us into WWE superstars, and without that, I don't think that my singles career would have gone to the places it went to.”

“I retired when I was 40. I started when I was 19. I never wanted to be a guy who was a shell of his former self and have people say, 'He's not as good as he used to be.'”

“The cool thing about WWE is it's like entertainment boot camp. You're performing in front of a live audience, a different audience every night. You're doing promos in the ring. You're doing talking segments in the back. You're wrestling. You're performing. It's everything all rolled into one.”

“It's cool to talk to the fans and get some one-on-one time and shake hands, sign autographs, take some pictures and have conversations with people.”

“No matter how tired you get, when you get in that ring and hear that crowd road, everything will go away.”

“It's strange to think that one day you're wrestling, and the next day you're not.”

“Growing up, we were pretty much focused on becoming WWE superstars.”

“Obviously, it's unheard of for anybody to come back from this type of injury that Edge had.”

“I always had aspirations to be the champion. I never gave up.”
