For me, wrestling was an escape. It was like a way out.
-
Having that main event load to carry is very comfortable for me. Anything less is uncomfortable.
-
People can see through crap pretty easily. Just go out there and be comfortable. Be you. Be authentic.
-
I don't know if I would ever sleep well again if I actually saw a ghost. If they exist, that's fine. I just don't want to see one.
-
In North America, there aren't too many big places to go, so you find that pretty much all of the best talent in the world ends up filtering through WWE.
-
I'm trying all kinds of crazy stuff at house shows just for my own amusement and to see what the people are gonna do.
-
A crowd urging you on to do well can be very encouraging. It's very fun. It can be a really cool feeling.
-
I'm big into mountain biking.
-
You're always going to get comparisons. Everybody comes out and says, 'He's the next so and so,' or, 'He reminds me of so and so.' I have so many influences and stuff in my brain, who knows what's going to pop in and come out.
-
Being a nocturnal creature myself, I often find myself in dark alleys or strange places late at night. If there were werewolves around, I'd be likely to run into them, being the night owl that I am.
-
I'm not some schmuck they just hired and threw down in the Performance Center and gave him an entrance or anything that like. I've been around enough and have enough experience; I know what I'm doing pretty much.
-
I had a hard time going to school. I probably wasn't the most pleasant young person to be around. I kept a very tight circle of trusted people.
-
I always liked the guys who lasted a long time in the match and had endurance. People like Ric Flair going an hour at the 1992 Rumble, or Shawn Michaels and the British Bulldog being one and two in 1995 and both lasting until the end.
-
I think I'm one of the only guys here - I mean, we have so much great talent here, but I can do anything. I can literally do anything. That's not me being like, 'Oh I'm so great.' I'm just like, 'I know what I'm doing.'
-
I know a lot of guys say that when they are younger - 'I'm gonna get it, get my money, and get out' - and then end up wrestling until they're 50. But that could end up being me, too. I can tell you I want to get out early and end up eating my own words. All of a sudden, I'm 50, and I'm still walking out there.
-
From day one, The Shield was a vehicle. It wasn't, 'This is what we're doing for the rest of our lives.' It was, 'This is the vehicle we'll use to bust into WWE, to ride to the top of it, and then we fight each other.' That was always the plan.
-
You have these magical moments in these live events that are never captured on film and that only live on in your memory. Those are always my favorite.
-
I like wrestling 30 minutes a night.
-
I wasn't 'gifted' in the way that Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns or somebody like that is gifted, in that they got the physical attributes and so forth.
-
I was pretty happy with what we were able to do on 'SmackDown.' It was one of the best, most fun runs of my career because it was essentially a new show.
-
The WWE Championship is the greatest championship in the history of this sport. It has the most history of anything.
-
I hate in-ring promos. I've never done a promo in WWE that I liked.
-
It's all so surreal seeing yourself in a video game.
-
I can't remember a time when wrestling wasn't my thing that I watched. As far back as my memory goes, I was already obsessed with wrestling.
