“I've always just took notice of what's going on in the wrestling business and who the younger fellas are, and younger ladies, that are interested in this.”
“I've made more with John Cena just by being John Cena that anyone else I've ever met. He works harder than anyone I've ever met, 30 hours a day, 500 days a year and will do anything and everything that is asked of him and couldn't possibly work harder. He is a mega draw.”
“This may sound strange but I don't respect anybody.”
“It's always great to see old friends, especially those I have not been able to see in 15 months.”
“If you've got the talent it'll shine through.”
“My little niece used to call me and say 'I like watching that Uncle Darren, can I have a T-shirt of AJ Lee' and I went 'they don't make any' and it just struck me. We have Rey Mysterio for little boys. But we don't have anything for little girls.”
“When you're happy and you're comfortable with yourself and you're not worried about being a top guy, you'll make the most out of anything and make it work.”
“You have to be able to work as a unit sometimes, in the ring when you're wrestling other people.”
“I admire plenty of people, I admire Daniel Bryan, I admire CM Punk, I admire Antonio Cesaro, Wade Barrett, Sheamus; all the fellows that have been out and earned their spot on this roster.”
“I've never had a big role at any WrestleMania, but I've been at 11-odd. Just to be there is special - the week beforehand and all the promotions and stuff.”
“There's people that have all these other qualities, but if you've got a spiteful streak, that will take you to realms people have no concept of.”
“At the end of the day, who at my age can say that they fought somebody that fought Muhammad Ali?”
“Above anything else - above family or job - the main thing is staying sober. That's because without being sober, I don't have a family.”
“The only place to get better is to work in front of a crowd every night, that's when you'll find what really works and what doesn't.”
“You've got to embrace whatever is given and make the most of every opportunity to make it funny or to make it memorable.”
“I always tell people this - when you start wrestling, don't forget that part you liked as a child. If you can keep a bit of that in your act, you can keep a bigger audience.”
“I'm asked all the time who the next big thing is in NXT and I always say I'm not going to say because it puts too much pressure on them.”
“It's wonderful to see a young lady headbutt somebody and kick somebody's face.”
“Over time, your face hardens up and you just look more like a fighter.”
“I'm a wrestling fan - before I was a wrestler, I was a wrestling fan. I like watching wrestling.”
