Growing up in Cleveland, the first time I went to a WWE event, Cleveland didn't even have an arena. The Cavaliers were playing at the Richfield Coliseum. I would go out there.
-
For the longest time, I was in random cold matches for 30 minutes and tore the house down for no reason, and everyone complained, 'Why isn't he in some kind of a story?'
-
I always kind of did my own thing, but it got me into trouble a lot, so I started listening to what people were telling me to do to show I was a team player.
-
I've always wanted to be the best at every aspect of the business. Not just someone who does great moves or high flying moves but every aspect and can take control of every match in case something goes wrong.
-
You want to be an NXT fan.
-
WWE has no issues with my stand-up. I do not miss work for any reason and will continue to work around my schedule because I'm a professional and do not allow complacency or laziness.
-
When something special happens in wrestling, it's that much more special to me and for me to go, 'That was awesome,' because I'm as bitter as there is, so if you can get me to go, 'Woah, that was cool,' a couple of times, it's a special show.
-
Always a big fan of the Browns, of course. No wonder how bad they lost or how much we froze to death out there, we still went to the games to watch them lose.
-
There is a glass ceiling for everybody until you find a way to get that connection that Cena has.
-
Nobody works harder than me in the ring; no one steals the show more often, and no one gets better reactions for a guy who's not even part of huge storylines.
-
When I finally get the chance to say what I want, to talk about where we're going from here on out, when my voice, my words, become the measuring stick for WWE, I think that's the moment that's going to reinvent our entire business.
-
I feel that I am better than Roman Reigns, but you know what? He hasn't wrestled as long as I have.
-
We are on the road 250-280 days a year at least, and it's something that, if I have a wife and kids at home, I don't know if I could do it.
-
I'm always trying to make myself a better sports entertainer.
-
I'm someone who loses 80 to 90 percent of the time. Even when I lost, I put my body on the line and I told the best story. If I stood out, if my attitude towards fighting was different, I found a way to stay around and keep revamping myself and my character.
-
I have always gone above and beyond, whether I've been given 30 seconds or 30 minutes, but at some point, you have to deliver and go to the next level.
-
For the longest time, Cena would be, and still is, filibustered by half the WWE universe.
-
WWE has given me an out where, any days off that I have, they allow me to work on outside projects.
-
That's always the goal. If you don't want to be the best or have the company on your back with everyone relying on you, then you shouldn't be here.
-
When people are funny, I like to let them know that they're funny. There's so much negativity, it's cool to get some positivity out there.
-
Dolph Ziggler is a name you'll remember. It will stand out, and you'll know it before you even meet me.
-
It's the WWE; it's Vince McMahon's show. He lays out what he wants from you. It's not always going to be what I want.
-
I was a huge fan of Jon Lovitz, Dana Carvey, Jan Hooks, obviously Phil Hartman, and a very young Adam Sandler.
-
My goal when I first started in the WWE was to stand out.
