People at WWE would say, 'It doesn't matter if you're the best wrestler,' but I would think about Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit and Rey Mysterio. They weren't necessarily the greatest talkers, but they were great wrestlers. I wanted to be that person.
Great wrestlers make other wrestlers great
Not only was it that I surprised people by beating Bret Hart, but it was a great match. They still rate it as one of the best wrestling matches of all time.
I can make a valid argument that Bobby Heenan is pro wrestling's great performer.
People dream to be in the WWE, but my dream is to be the best in the WWE. They can have the money and fame. My dream is to become known as the greatest wrestler of all time.
WWE is the biggest entity in professional wrestling and if you want to prove yourself to be one of the greatest or one of the best, then that's the only place you can do it.
The Rock has definitely set the bar. He's in a class by himself, and he always will be, I believe.
Chris Candido - besides loving him like a little brother - I used to sit and watch him in awe because it was so effortless for him. He could wake up from a nap and go out and have a five-star match.
I always wanted to be mentioned in the same breath as all of the great wrestlers.
Hell you're Shawn Michaels! The greatest wrestler of all time!
I've been fortunate to share the ring with great wrestlers of legendary status and those that will fill their boots in the future.
We knew that AJ Styles might be the best in the world. We didn't realize that until he got to WWE.
If you say John Smith is the greatest wrestler in Oklahoma history, now that's big.
I don't think people realize how good Fit Finlay was. He was the best heel and probably the best worker I'd ever seen.
For those of you who weren't a part of the era of ECW, understand, you're looking at the guy that made ECW what ECW was. So, simply put, I'm as close to royalty in this sport as it comes.
