I'm a big Bullet Club fan.

Rest in peace, King Kong Bundy.

I was in Mexico for three years.

I've always been a big fan of Jim Neidhart.

You have to know your crowd. And adjust accordingly.

I'm all about people being able to redeem themselves.

My diet is probably better than just about anybody's.

Damn sure Dusty Rhodes is never gonna be forgotten, ever.

If I thought anybody was messing with me, I was difficult.

Marty Scurll is fantastic, and I am a big fan of his work.

I like Wade Barrett a lot. I think he has tons of potential.

There would be no DX if it wasn't for the nWo, in my opinion.

I was a buzzsaw out there, high impact, high energy, I was quick.

My greatest chemistry is with the fans. There is a deep, deep connection.

My name was Lightning Kid; it was pretty much a copy off of Dynamite Kid.

You can get wider. You can't get taller unless Herman Munster's in your shoes.

The fans like a certain thing in certain areas. In Florida, they like the gaga.

I'm very grateful for Scott Hall's willingness to take me under his wing and help me.

My first memory of King Kong Bundy was on TBS, and he was a member of Legion of Doom.

The Hart Foundation versus The Brain Busters, if you can find that match, it is fantastic.

I don't know if I can call myself underrated. Maybe some people may overrate me. Who knows?

Trust me - he will be back. I promise you, at some point CM Punk will be back involved in wrestling.

A lot of the best villains are the ones that think they are right. That think they are the good guy.

I've done things in my career, you know, accomplishments, and being in DX, NWO, the Kliq, all of that.

There's a lot of things I wouldn't have today if it wasn't for Curt Hennig. And he taught so many people.

Creative satisfaction is highly underrated. When you don't have it, the money doesn't spend nearly as well.

Actually, the only thing that I can honestly say I really regret now is the blackface thing. I did not understand.

That first run in WWE, that 1-2-3 Kid run, definitely, that was my underdog cruiserweight thing, and Vince was behind it.

The natural instinct when you get concussed, when you get knocked out, as soon as you come up is to get up and fight and keep going.

You hear the word 'fake' thrown around wrestling, but it doesn't get more real when you hear the sound of 20,000 people coming unglued.

People come up to me and pay their respects by telling me how I was a big part of their childhood. I do not take that for granted, not for one second.

A win doesn't always come exactly how you want it to, but it's a win nonetheless. And anyone who doesn't think so, I don't even know what to tell them.

I just think guys should be mindful, 'Okay, this guy is a hundred pounds lighter than me. Maybe I shouldn't hit him full on,' even if it's in a safe spot.

I think, for me, I should have worked harder on my mic skills, and I should have been a lot easier to deal with, and I would have been pushed a lot better.

Nobody is exempt from being respectful to the business and paying homage to the guys drawing money. We all have done it. Steve Austin did it; The Rock did it.

My mindset, when it came to wrestling, was more the reasons why I could, not the reasons why I couldn't, which is how you should look at, like, everything in life.

I kind of thought eventually, someday, somehow, I would be Hall of Fame, whether it was nWo, DX, or whatever, and honestly, I thought it would probably happen when I was no longer around.

I think I had a lot to do with why there's even a thing such as 205 Live. In the past, when they started that, they didn't even acknowledge me. I've gotta lie to tell you that that didn't bother me.

I did a lot of tae kwon do and branched off into other stuff later on, but tae kwon do is great. It was my equalizer. That was how I was able to survive in the land of the giants. Thank God for that.

Not every time someone gets hit these days with a kick, they don't necessarily take a flat-back. Maybe less flat-backs add time to a career, but if they miss some of it, it just seems like you're done.

I think around the time that he signed with WWE, no one had more of a buzz in wrestling than Kenta, as far as this guy is, pound for pound, the best in the world. That's the kind of talk you heard about.

Eric Bischoff wanted to destroy Vince in the ratings, but we wanted them to stay in the game. We wanted it to be neck-and-neck. We didn't want to skunk the other team and spike the football every single time.

Once I got my groove in WCW in '97, I'm pretty proud of the things I did there. By the time I got to WWE for DX, I may not have been as quick, but I was so far more well-rounded and a much more of a ring general.

The character of Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart added so much. He was solid in the ring too, really good. His role in the Hart Foundation - he was great. He was a really good, solid power guy that could move in there, too.

When Vince McMahon did ICOPRO, that was ahead of its time. If it had came along five years later, it might have taken off because the products were good, but at the time, nutritional supplements weren't a thing back then.

When you're not working with guys your own size and everyone is way bigger than you, guys aren't afraid to run right through you - and not even hit you in dangerous places, but just the collision alone - and sometimes it would ring your bell.

I grew up in Tampa, Florida, and St. Pete, Tampa, the Tampa Bay area, and that was the home of Championship Wrestling from Florida with Gordon Solie, Dusty Rhodes, and it was just... I mean, for storylines and angles and promos, it was second to none.

Lars Sullivan and EC3 are made for the main roster, more so than NXT. Obviously, Lars because he's just freakish in so many ways. But EC3, I look at him, and I look at his mannerisms, his mic skills: he's tailor-made for a good push on the main roster.

For me, I had that reputation as being a guy that did a lot of stuff early on in my career, but to me, at the time I needed to do that in order to be noticed. Eventually, my style evolved and started making it to where every match wasn't about a dive outside of the ring.

I can sing every single word of Honky Tonk's theme song. He was great. He might not be that cruiserweight-style wrestler or a Bret Hart-type of wrestler, but I thought he was great. He was such an over-the-top character, and it was a character on the peripheral of wrestling.
