“When I got out of high school, I got involved with the union, the Local 580 in New York, Ironworking. It was a great job, but I looked over at the older guys in their 60s and they didn't look like they were in their 60s after all of the hard work they put in. They were coughing blood up and drinking on the job site.”
“I'm just me and if people cheer, they cheer. If they boo, they boo. As long as they're reacting, I'm good with it.”
“I'm like a dog, man, when it comes to loyalty. That's it.”
“I'm just trying to do good. That's all I'm trying to do.”
“Not everyone is going to like each other.”
“I just want to be a prime example for people.”
“Detroit is a rough, rough place and that's how they like their wrestling, so I love Detroit.”
“People can be giving me my flowers all day and telling me how great I am and at some point, I'm gonna go, 'You know you're nuts,' or tell them that I'm not the world champion or TNT Champion or tag-team champion, you know that, right? I'm not as over as you think I am.”
“That whole New York tough guy thing, I can't let anyone see me cry.”
“I'm just trying to be better every day.”

“We make our own normal. No one is us; no one feels what we feel.”
“I've seen my father go hungry, but my brother and mom never went hungry. I saw my father do overtime after overtime just to make sure we were good and the family was safe. I come from that background, so if you love something - my dad didn't love his job. He loved his family, so he did what he had to do.”
“My mom and dad are just happy that I'm doing something that's not illegal. My brother is just happy I found something that I'm passionate about. I didn't see the future. They did. They saw a future for me in anything I wanted to do.”
“I fell out of love with wrestling because it was very kiddy. I just got tired of it... I was becoming a teenager and a friend of mine put on ECW, the first thing I see is New Jack and I go oh, I grew up with guys like that. I see Raven with his whole depression stuff and I go oh, I feel like that.”
“To me, if you're a scumbag, just because you're a wrestler that's been in the business an 'X' amount of years I'm not gonna show you respect.”
“Every day is a struggle.”
“If I'm going to survive and survive as long as I have in wrestling, I have to believe I'm the best.”
“To survive on the independents when I was making a living off of it, you had to do a Thursday show, a Friday show and Saturday and Sunday shows. You had to do at least four shows a week.”
