When I came into the WWF, the first thing I really didn't want to have was being Bret Hart's little brother.
I have nothing but respect for Adam Cole. I've known him for a very long time, and he's one of the best in the world.
Jonathan and Joshua Fatu, they are pretty much well secured there in WWE. I taught my kids everything they need to know in the industry, but I think they have nothing else to prove in WWE.
I always wanted to be mentioned in the same breath as all of the great wrestlers.
Promoters saw the potential in me and the value in me. It was because of companies like Evolve, PWG, Progress, and Beyond Wrestling. Those are the big ones that gave me a push and made my name worth something on the indies.
I feel that I am better than Roman Reigns, but you know what? He hasn't wrestled as long as I have.
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.
Professionally, John Cena has my respect more than anybody I've ever been around in the ring and out of the ring.
I became one of the top wrestlers outside of WWE in the world, and it all happened because I started giving it my everything.
I was in the business for 20 years and look at Flair. He was probably approaching 35-40. But today, if a guy has good 8-10 year run, he is either considered that damn good or lucky.
