“I was going nine times a week. You get to a point where you don't really know who you are. You're running on high octane, and you'll take all comers in every arena because there was no police. Every arena, you'd take on everybody that would come in the ring.”
“One time, I fought 90 fights in 90 days in 90 different places around the world. I didn't even know who I was: about 45 or 50 in, they just kept pushing me, and that's when I really get into a lot of trouble.”
“I'm a very lucky person.”
“My first match lasted 10 seconds, and I lost.”
“CM Punk is a very talented man, and I'm a big fan of his.”
“I've been around the world seven times, been stabbed three times, been down in an airplane, and once dated the Bearded Lady.”
“The heel runs the match.”
“It's very humbling to know that the industry has cast me as the greatest heel in the history of the business.”
“I was the first wrestler ever in the history of wrestling to star in a major motion studio picture that became #1 box office of the weekend, and that gave the itch to I don't know how many wrestlers.”
“I left home when I was 13. When I was 15, I was living in a youth hostel, and I was the 167-pound amateur wrestling champion.”
“It was by accident I got into wrestling. Somebody didn't show up, and I just filled in.”
“Only thing I ever thought I'd see is a picture with me in a uniform with stripes on it and a number under my mug shot.”
“Bret Hart is my cousin, I'm told. Didn't know that until I was, I don't know, 28, 25.”
“Without putting words in anybody's mouth, I think that Roddy has a reputation for being a rebel. I don't think that's a big secret.”
“In the morning, I'm juicing two apples, two carrots, two celery, two beets, two ginger. I'm drinking that every morning to try to keep the cancer away.”
“I am really good with Lego!”
“I hate a bully, and I hate racists.”
“It's one thing to talk the talk; it's another thing to walk after getting whacked with a coconut.”
“One night, I knocked out Mr. T, kicked Cyndi Lauper, chased Dick Clark back to his locker room, and slapped Little Richard.”
“Bagpipes is a woodwind instrument, so you have to warm it up. But in a wrestling dressing room? You've got to be kidding me.”
