When you get to a certain level in wrestling, you got to be the ring general, and I've been in wrestling for a long time. And I can be a ring general against anybody.
-
Wrestling has done a lot for my life.
-
One thing you gotta take into consideration is that it's professional wrestling, and you know it going in. There's dangers to every profession, and our particular profession, concussions is one thing.
-
I don't eat for pleasure; I eat for performance.
-
Some guys lock up when they hear the crowd. I feel the energy and take it with me into the fight. I've been in front of huge crowds and know to use that energy.
-
When somebody makes a decision on what they think they need to do, I don't question it at all.
-
A lot of people look at me as such a nice guy; they don't understand how dangerous I can actually be.
-
I love wrestling, and of course WWE is the main stage, but I'm happy to be with TNA.
-
I've had no documented concussions.
-
Wrestling has taken me on a ride and a love affair. I absolutely enjoy wrestling.
-
Being in the wrestling business, it was a whole lot to deal with in a short amount of time. I went from amateur wrestling one minute to, the next minute, I'm traveling the world, and I'm on the road 250 days a year.
-
If people will pay to see it, I'll fight anyone in any sport.
-
I try to take care of myself as much as possible.
-
I grew up kind of rough, without very much. So, I just want to work as hard as I can so my kids won't have to go through what I did.
-
We have to start encouraging people to step out of their comfort zones and start doing new things. Anything anybody does new, there are a bunch of naysayers.
-
Anything can happen in a fight, and anything can happen in training.
-
Everybody wants to be a critic: a critic without the actual accolades to be a critic.
-
We had some rough times in TNA. We had some pay issues, and this and that, they were some other issues. But at that time, we were working harder than we ever worked. Even though, you know, we were being paid late and all, we worked harder than we worked before.
-
Money is not it for me. I love to travel and take care of my kids and be around my children.
-
I love what I do. I love the competition of fighting. And I love to wrestle.
-
I can't even begin to entertain another wrestler's perception of me if they don't understand what my fans look for in me. I'm different; I'm different.
-
Every time I go out there, I have something to prove. Something more, something different.
-
I'd like to someday possibly come out with a workout video or even a manual just to teach people the things I know.
-
Traveling is a part of the business. I think it's really the hardest part of the business because the wrestling part is the easy part - something I love and enjoy doing.
