I know how good I am, and the fans know how good I am.
-
Sting can call out whoever he wants; he's a legend in this business.
-
I appreciate someone who stands out and stands up for what he believes in, because that's what I'm trying to do.
-
The thing is, in the WWE, we have the WWE title, the World title, the United States title, the Intercontinental title, the Divas title, the Tag Team titles. And I feel like, in this business, when Mr. Perfect had that Intercontinental title, that was the belt we saw as the stepping stone to becoming 'the man.' The franchise of the WWE.
-
You know what, I'm out there to give 100%, and I do what I think is best. I really don't care what other people think.
-
I get cheered more and more for one simple reason: When I step in the ring, I steal the show! I will not accept anything less from myself.
-
I do what I do best - and that's take it away from every one else.
-
I go out there to steal the show every night.
-
On a good day, I'm a bitter, angry, chip-on-my-shoulder type of guy.
-
Getting the approval of Ric Flair is the wrestling world's version of Johnny Carson calling you over to the desk after you just crushed a standup set on 'The Tonight Show.'
-
My dad used to work a night shift when I was five years old, so I would get up when he went to work and watch Johnny Carson. I remember not knowing what was going on, but loving it.
-
I dare you to put me in a back alley with Randy Orton or someone like that. I guarantee I'm not afraid of someone taller.
-
Any comparison to a WWE legend or someone I've looked up to is really cool, but make no mistake about it, my ego is too big to want to be a really good replica of someone else!
-
They love you when you're doing well and hate you when you're the bad guy.
-
I'd love to be in the ring with guys like Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, and The Undertaker, as, no matter what they've done, I know how good my conditioning is. If those three can say the same thing, I'd love to go and hang with them because I don't think they could hang with me.
-
I have a lot of downtime in airports and on flights.
-
The Cavaliers used to play at the Richfield Coliseum, and I actually went to see them when I was a little kid. Mark Price, Brad Daugherty, Larry Nance, all those guys.
-
Some people debut and beat John Cena. Some people debut and lose to R-Truth. That happened to me by count out. So, everything is different.
-
Though I'm not a huge fan of The Rock, I admit that I am a fan of the fact that he does his own thing. He gets excited on the mic. He yells. He didn't listen to what people told him to do, and people responded to that.
-
I do circuit training - different workouts without stopping. I like having that stamina, where I've never been too tired to put on a match or go above and beyond.
-
You never know the opportunity you're going to get, and you're never going to know how good anyone can be without the best opportunities, just as it goes with time.
-
I want to change the game and break through the nonsense without any Establishment help.
-
Some people are fighting much, much more important battles and much bigger battles, and if we get the chance to put a smile on their face for ten seconds, it's so worth it.
-
For the most part, and even with Miz, the WWE superstars are so good to the fans and everything they do.
