A biography for Lance Archerhasn’t been written yet.
“Everybody in this business has lost. Undertaker's lost at WrestleMania, and that was never supposed to happen, but it did.”
“One of the bigger things, I think, was learning and trying to find out who Vance Archer was, and who Vance Archer is, and who Vance Archer would end up being.”
“Pro wrestling is pro wrestling and it's one of those industries where things change on a dime. I'm coming up on 19 years in a business with various companies and often one day you're there and the next day you're gone.”
“That's the cool part about it is AEW is a very open company to moving forward and changing wrestling as a whole.”
“I simply believe that I am that star that WWE is looking for. But in this business you have to be put in the right spotlight for that to be recognized. Give me that spotlight and you won't be able to look away.”
“Global Force is creating a product that has people from independents, and guys who people know are good in their area, and they'll take on guys from around the world in New Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Australia.”
“I think initially with the ECW product it was a perfect place. Even though it was WWE's ECW, it was a perfect place for the young talent to kind of get their feet wet and figure out the lay of the land and to figure out how the WWE works and then you can transition better into Raw or SmackDown.”
“Everybody goes through ups and downs and wins and losses, bumps in the road, and I don't let anything like that slow me down.”
“Yeah, I went for the TNT title and didn't work out, but I kept kicking some butt, throwing people in ceilings and waiting my turn.”
“Will I end up in TNA? Who knows. Will I end up back in the WWE? Who knows. I'm going to push forward. I'm going to become as big and better as I've ever been.”
“My best moment with Sting was when they made a little movie, this kind of biopic of him. I go to be in it and hit him with a chair.”
“I've been battling a sciatic issue for a long time. It comes and goes, goes up and down, but I've already worked through it.”
“For me, to be the first G1 match ever in the United States was a really cool experience. And Will Ospreay and I, I think, went out there and tore the house down.”
“AEW is creating more eyes and more opportunities and more chances for the business to grow.”
“My interpermotional dream match would be with Undertaker. I respect who he is and what he has done in this buisnesss and is someone I've tried to mold myself after in many ways. I think it would be a classic Big man match.”
“This business changes on a dime daily. You have your ups and downs, goods and bads.”
“So, you never know what the future holds for cross-promotional situations. I think it would only benefit everybody if and when that situation happens.”
“It's fun living the life and traveling and getting to do things that I otherwise probably would never do but it comes with a cost of loss of privacy and being away from loved one a lot.”
“I have had some amazing opportunities. I don't take anyway anything that I have had from my past but I think I am really capitalizing on it.”
“The things that we have, the opportunities that we continue to do with the backstage vignettes, throwing guys into ceilings, trash cans, lockers, and everything I can find to put them in and through, that itself has been fun for me.”
