“I know this sounds corny, but if I give you my word I am going to do something, you can take it to the bank. Whether that means if my giving my word puts me in a detrimental position, I'm still going to follow through on my word, and I'll let the pieces fall where they may.”

“In the overall scheme of things, Tommy Dreamer and The Franchise are opposite characters.”

“I'll tell you upfront, I think Shawn Michaels was probably the most gifted worker the business has ever seen.”

“When Paul Heyman came and gave me the whole idea for the character, 'The Franchise,' I remember the NFL was just starting to classify one of their players as the franchise player. So that was the whole idea, that 'The Franchise' was the franchise player for ECW.”

“I remember, in 1993, sitting in the back watching him; I'd never met him. He hit a triple moonsault. I jumped out of my seat. As a fan, I've always been a huge mark for Sabu.”

“The fact I've carved out a niche in the business and had an almost 30-year career and done well without competing at a WrestleMania is something I'm proud of. To be in a business that's dominated by one guy and be able to do well without having to walk on that stage is great.”

“I've always been a huge mark for Samoa Joe.”

“I had suffered a multitude of injuries, as most guys in the business do. Most of them came at the end of my career.”

“The world is made up of good and evil, and everybody has their own take, and everybody thinks they are on the good side, and a very few, select group of us will admit that we come from the dark side.”

“For a company the size of ECW, there wasn't room for multiple over-the-top personalities.”

“We all go to our grave thinking that we will never be forgotten, and we are forgotten ten minutes later.”

“When I was a kid in the business, you always had in the back of your head this feeling that if I screw up, I might be fired. So you went out every night and tore your rear end up to make sure that you gave the best performance you can and learning constantly because you never had that idea of 'I'm so great, I'm never going to be fired.'”
