Montel Vontavious Porter

“I've always been a fan of blue-collar players. I've never liked the glitzy, glamour guys. You can say I'm not a Kobe Bryant fan, at all.”

“I remember when 'Pac-Man' was great, and 'Pong' and all of these primitive video games.”

“When you go to work, you do what your bosses tell you to do. If your bosses tell you to do something a certain way, you do it. If you get to a point where you don't want to do it anymore, you either: do what they tell you to do or leave, which was part of the reason why I decided to go to New Japan.”

“Bobby Lashley is on the road every week, he's in the gym everyday. Sometimes I literally argue with Bobby about taking time off, I say dude, you need recovery and Bobby says 'I do active recovery.'”

“I grew up in Florida, and my uncle used to work at the Miami Beach Convention Center in concessions.”

“I have kept no secret about my time growing up in Miami, U.S.A., and landing in trouble and going to prison for sometime. I talk about that a lot and I use that to encourage young people to not make the mistakes that I did, or, if you have made some bad decisions, it is not the end of your life. I hold myself as an example.”

“All people, all cultures have some sort of racism. It's a cultural thing and I think that part of the issue is that people aren't necessarily taking the steps to be understanding and aware of other cultures. I think that people are willfully ignorant of other cultures, and black people, white people, Asian people... everybody's guilty of it.”

“If you don't like somebody because of the God that they worship, or because of the color of their skin... there's something wrong with you, not them.”

“I am a Bianca Belair fan and I'll have everybody know behind the scenes I was actually talking to Bianca Belair a bit about potentially adding her to an organization, a faction that I used to be a part of.”

“Matt Hardy is a tag team wrestler. He's one of the greatest tag team wresters in the history of tag team wrestling.”

“In our society, if an individual commits a crime, he or she is sent to prison and they're supposed to repay their debt to society by serving their time. But, more and more, our institutions are taking away educational programs; they're taking away the Pell Grants so that people can take college courses.”

“To borrow a very popular phrase, I'm a Paul Heyman guy.”

“On a personal note, I used to work for years out on South Beach, running security in nightclubs and doing bodyguard work.”

“I remember when Michael Jackson as an act, as a talent, was untouchable and was in a realm all his own.”

“I had every intention of retiring. While I've had the honor and the pleasure of being in a few WrestleManias, I never thought I'd be in a WrestleMania again.”

“I have a gym in my house where I work out.”

“Fortunately, my talent is on loan from God. You see, I'm half-man, half-amazing, which is what allowed me to become United States Champion in less than a year after joining WWE.”

“There are people who often, say, 'Racism doesn't exist anymore.' And, 'Nobody's racist anymore.' And, to that I say, all you have to do is go on Youtube and read the comments. That will tell you just how racist people will be if they can't be called out on it.”

“Generally speaking, I'm lazy. I really don't like to do anything but sit around and chill out and watch TV, but if it's something I like, if it's something I'm into, then no one can outwork me.”

“Professional wrestling is the first non-criminal activity that I truly, truly applied myself to and believed in and devoted myself to. Otherwise, everything else I did was a whatever. I had no real interest in it, it came and went.”
