I'm looking forward to having one of those moments that will be immortal.
-
I started wrestling professionally, I did my first television match at 16, but I was wrestling at country fairs and national armories when I was 14.
-
The Undertaker's beaten me down pretty bad quite a few times.
-
I'm good at professional wrestling, and I always will be good, but what's always been different about me is that I can't completely focus on professional wrestling.
-
I've learned that I can still be loved if I perform well, and I learned that from the broken brilliance of Matt Hardy.
-
I remember 'Wrestlemania 6' with The Ultimate Warrior against Hulk Hogan. It was so cool to see those guys go in there and the fans getting into the match so much.
-
I still look forward to doing things I've never done before. But the fear beforehand is always worse than the actual moment. Leading up to it, especially before the match, is when the butterflies are at their worst. But in the match, the creatures - my fans - fuel me. They're a huge superpower for me and my survival.
-
When you commit to a WWE contract, you're committing to some serious time away from home.
-
Edge is such a great guy.
-
My first match was against Razor Ramon. I lost. Come to think about it, I lost a lot back in those days.
-
Early, when I first started wrestling, I wanted to be a combination of Sting and the Ultimate Warrior: The Ultimate Warrior's craziness and weird personality and Sting's coolness and the way he carried himself to the ring. But then later on, when it came to physicality and athleticism, Shawn Michaels topped the cake.
-
I would love to end my career as World Champion.
-
The roots that weave up my right arm and onto my neck are my way of connecting with the earth: the earth's roots carry water like a human's veins carry blood.
-
I take a lot of risks in the ring.
-
When I was a kid, I wrestled my high school amateur wrestling in junior year.
-
We may never be as big as WWE, but the cool thing about TNA is that we are the alternative. So people who get tired and bored with the WWE - I've been there, I understand - there's an alternative and something else to watch.
-
That's really important to me - creating moments that last forever.
-
The Great Khali always serves up a good beatdown if you can't get out from under that heavy hand.
-
Once I established myself doing crazy things and being extreme, people want to see it all the time.
-
Shawn Michaels was the guy to study and watch.
-
I'm not a big practice guy at all.
-
I can't wrestle a match without getting my ankles taped because they feel like they'll shatter on me.
-
When I broke my leg on the dirt bike, fear got the best of me that day. I hesitated. I didn't hit it as fast as I could have, and I came up short. It was the first time in my life I couldn't get back up.
-
Any time it's a Swanton, I'm confident. But if I feel I can't do it, I won't do it.
