I love being a family man.

I've been a competitor all my life.

I need to wrestle, I need to compete.

Big risk means big reward. I want that.

I've always been a big fan of Hollywood.

Pro wrestling is all about staying fresh.

Zeb Colter is unbelievable, he is priceless.

I'm making MMA great again for pro wrestlers.

Absolutely, it's awesome to be a pro wrestler.

As cool as Jack Swagger was, he felt choreographed.

Entertainment is a big part of MMA and it is unique.

Yes, pro wrestling is damaging on your body. It hurts.

People think I look like a P.E. teacher or the principal.

Any time you can get Glenn Beck crying it's a good thing.

We The People' is public domain, any American can use that.

When I look in the mirror, I'm a husband and a father first.

I like to think of pro wrestling as an art, so we're artists.

If you speak pro wrestling or MMA, you almost speak any language.

In this world, I feel like we all need to be nicer to each other.

Chris Jericho is on the Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling.

If I can make someone tap out with my ankle lock it would be Sasha Banks.

If I just keep my head down and I keep working hard, that's just what I do.

Really, my family is my strength and I realize that and I am leaning on it.

All Elite Wrestling completely changes the entire landscape of pro wrestling.

WWE really likes to keep its fans on the edge of their seats and on their toes.

I would love to fight Fedor Emelianenko in Russia, maybe we can make that happen.

I look like a winner, I smell like a winner, so why not put it on the big screen?

If people want to compare me to Brock Lesnar - there's worse people to compare me to.

When you get in the cage with me, you'd better be ready to go 35 minutes, not just 15.

Cesaro should be world champ. I'm not afraid to say it, Cesaro is my favorite wrestler.

I feel like being a professional wrestling has definitely made me a better MMA fighter.

I would say to the critics that they don't have a black belt in time management like I do.

As a fighter, I'm not one of those people that wants to prove I can go out and throw strikes.

Going through life is always scary doing something new, at the same time it is very exciting.

You know, there's not a lot of guys who don't like Jack Swagger. It's a good problem to have.

I was never the best athlete, but I knew how to be coached and I knew how to work hard at it.

I've heard that I'm a wrestler and not a real fighter, but I have nothing to prove to anybody.

Pro wrestling fans love surprises, so let's surprise them, and not just give them the old stuff.

A long time ago I learned how to shut my mouth, listen to my coaches and put trust in my coaches.

I want people to say that Jack Swagger/Jake Hager is a world champion in MMA and in pro wrestling.

A lot of people want me to say negative things about WWE, but I'm very grateful for my career there.

When you get to go out and perform on a great pro wrestling show, it's awesome. It's hard not to enjoy it.

I really like Bellator and them as a company and how they are run. It's a popular place for fighters to go to.

To be able to change from being essentially a bad guy into a really hot babyface overnight is very hard to do.

To be successful in WWE, you have to love what you do. You have to want to steal the show every time you go out.

I have a lot of experience with the lights on bright - a lot of people watching and performing on live television.

People want to see fighters who can put on a little show and then back it up. Hopefully I can do both of those things.

From the beginning, make no mistakes, I'm a prizefighter and doing this for the money. Money first. And then championships.

A lot of great fighters were amateur wrestlers first and you can study them on film to see how they adapted the techniques.

MMA is very difficult; you can't just be good at wrestling. You need striking, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu and countless other things.
