“Sometimes being away from TV for four months or six months or whatever it's been can really help you. People miss you and are happy to see you back. On the other hand, people can forget about you.”
“Traditionally, WWE used to shy away from that Internet kind of fan base. But I think increasingly, in life in general and every aspect of entertainment, social media, the Internet fan base is now massive.”
“After making repeated attempts to change my career trajectory and having those efforts turned down, my passion for playing the role of a WWE Superstar went away.”
“I try as much as I can to bring out my own British flavor.”
“I like music, I like boxing, I like watching football.”
“I'm much happier on my own. Being a member of The Corre, for example, I was obviously better than all three of those guys. However, I made the mistake of holding them as equals. No more.”
“When you're with WWE, you are operating within very fine boundaries that you cannot step outside of.”
“The only thing that matters in WWE is winning and getting paid.”
“If you have the same guys at the top of the card all the time, people get bored of it. They don't want to see the same guys wrestling over and over again.”
“Most fans don't realize 75 percent of the matches we have are non-televised. I prefer a non-televised show because it is more ring-focused and fan interactive.”
“I wrestled for 14 or 15 years. I've got a bunch of injuries, I'm tired, I'm getting old, I'm getting some grey hair now.”
“The interesting thing about film fighting is that it's very different to the kind of fighting we do in pro wrestling.”
“I have watched stuff like Mixed Martial Arts and boxing, and sometimes it's disappointing because the big fight is over like in 30 seconds or so.”
“I love doing commentary, and I love working with NWA, as that's been a goal of mine for a long time.”
“To me, OVW was one of my favorite periods in my career. I felt like I was on the greatest adventure of all time. I was there five months before WWE developmental moved down to Florida.”
“I remember when I was younger and seeing guys like The Rock cut these promos telling the world how terrible they are. How they are a bunch of losers and stuff like that. He was so funny when he did it that you couldn't wait 'til he came out and started insulting you.”
“For the most part I excel as being the bad guy, and that's definitely a strong point for me.”
“If you look back at people like The Rock there are times when earlier in his career he was doing heel stuff and he was so entertaining that people cheered for him. The natural thing to do was turn him babyface.”
“With my intellect, I'm somebody who can think fast, think on my feet and can think under pressure.”
“I've always had that confidence in my performance ability and my ability to speak in character.”
