“The biggest thing I want to do is not travel as much as possible. I enjoy not traveling very much.”

“In the old days, talent owned their costumes, their intellectual property, their gimmicks. They were not employees and could wrestle anywhere they wanted to, and that just is not case in today's WWE.”

“I met Rick Rubin through Cat Collins, a DJ friend of mine that had worked for Rubin at American Recordings.”

“I had always in the past thought The Ultimate Warrior was the epitome of a guy making money with no talent.”

“The Midnight Express and the Rock 'n' Roll Express were the greatest tag team rivalry of all time and drew more money than any other tag team rivalry probably in history, and I did manage the WWF champion and WWF Tag Team champion at different points in time but my phone hasn't rung and I haven't lost sleep over it.”

“If the Midnight Express were getting honored, I would be right there with it. I don't care if Satan or Saddam Hussein is going to honor the Midnight Express, they deserve it and I'll be up there with them.”

“The WWE is fine. They can afford to not only sign anybody they really want, but they can also afford to sign people just to keep them out of the talent pool that everybody else has.”

“I was a big fan of The Revival when they were in NXT. I thought they were as good as Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson.”

“Nobody ever went and saw The Midnight Express and thought their match was bad.”

“Since I left the wrestling business and got in the Jim Cornette business, my blood pressure is down considerably.”

“The NWA has money, it could have enough talent, and it has the resources of TBS. It just needs someone to give the company direction.”

“I know Vince made the call for Roman Reigns to win the Royal Rumble and be the guy. We know that much. I don't know what knucklehead didn't say to Vince that maybe we shouldn't put Daniel Bryan in the Royal Rumble.”

“'Bullet' Bob was one of the most important parts of Smoky Mountain from the start. He was a retired wrestling legend and talked better than anyone on the roster.”

“From the time I was 5 years old, I collected comic books.”

“People always say, 'You can't go home again,' but every time I go to the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Fanfest in Charlotte, it feels like I have.”
