Wrestler

Someone like Bruno Sammartino should never be a jobber on a video game, so and so forth. I think you have to pay respect.

I can say I know Linda McMahon quite well, yet they've only been brief encounters going all the way back to 1985 when I first worked for WWF/WWE. I started in 1984, but I don't recall meeting her until 1985. I can say this much: Linda McMahon has never changed. I think of few women in my lifetime that I respect more than her.

I do remember meeting 'The Donald.' He seemed to really enjoy the WrestleMania 4 battle royal. He watched me take a very hard front turnbuckle bump, and it seemed to stun him that I wasn't seriously hurt. Backstage, Trump gave me a big smile and a handshake.

Ric Flair, as great was and a hard worker as he was, he just tends to get lost in the ring.

If you're going to have a Hall of Fame, you've got to have Owen Hart in the Hall of Fame.

My dad was always genuine with the fans and said, 'You must appreciate every single one of them,' and I always did. I always tried to make time for every autograph or every picture. What's an autograph? It's the simplest thing in the world.

Curt Hennig was one of best guys I ever wrestled. If I could've come back and wrestled one last match, I wish I could've wrestled Curt. He was my favorite guy to wrestle.

I don't know about England so much, but in Germany and some of these other countries, the pink was something that they liked. For those kids, the pink and black and the whole look with the sunglasses and the leather jacket was the right kind of hero they could get behind, and I think that really set me apart from everyone else.

Seth Rollins is one of the hardest-working wrestlers I've ever seen.

Every year, I think you earn the right to eat cake on your birthday.

There's a lot of talent out there that miss their opportunities, and I just hope that AJ Styles doesn't waste his life in TNA.

You can't just think up a move in your head and go, 'Okay, I'll just pick somebody up, and I'm just going to throw them backwards into the post.' You have to think, 'Would you want someone to do the same thing to you?'

I always tell people you can't make peace half way: to make peace with somebody, you have to make peace and bury the hatchet, or you just keep fighting forever.

I wrestled 23 straight years all over the world.

All the times they put tag titles on me, Intercontinental titles on me, or the world title on me, the only time I couldn't defend the title was when I had to forfeit the belt when I quit WCW and retired from wrestling forever.

I could only be frustrated right from the day I started in WCW and realized that it was a company run by a bunch of idiots that didn't have a clue what they were doing.

I don't have any personal grudge against Vince Russo, but I just know watching the shows that all his shows look the same.

Eric Bischoff is a total, complete idiot, maybe the single stupidest idiot that ever got into wrestling.

I know that Cena has a lot of detractors, but I'm very proud of him. He's a good hero.

I always took a lot of pride in being a safe wrestle. I never injured anyone.
