A guy like AJ Styles is obviously a great talent and he's going to go out there and put on a performance that's befitting of a man who is the World Champion.
To be in an Intercontinental title match at WrestleMania, that is the stuff dreams are made of.
CM Punk was a great wrestler, and he has so many fans and made a lot of people happy with what he did over the years.
Professional wrestling, the WWE, and being in the Hall of Fame represent such a large part of Hulk's life, as does his connection to the audience.
Whatcha gonna do, when Hulkamania runs wild on you!
That feeling is one of the things that keep me going. On July 6, 1998, I became the WCW heavyweight champion of the world!
My dad is to professional wrestling what Babe Ruth was to baseball - he's an icon. Working with him and having him around as I try to get this new character over with the fans has been a major help.
When I went to WCW, I was never supposed to go in there as Terra Ryzing.
When I came into WWE after Monday Night Wars, it wasn't my greatest time in the business... but they kept bringing me back.
My dad wrestled The Rock, and I heard the people screaming and saw just how much they loved seeing my dad perform. It gave me chills.
I remember when I was a kid that the only way to see Hulk Hogan wrestle was you'd have to go to the live shows. He was never on TV. So I thought "Why not do the same thing?"
When I made my debut, I had that weird one-off at 'Battleground' where I was, like, Sasha's partner. And that was an amazing night.
Ric Flair is an old nemesis of mine.
For me, my number one guy would be Tanahashi from New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Like, watching him, like, this guy is a bonafide rockstar over in Japan. He can't even walk down the street without getting stopped, the way that he carries himself.
As far as the path of [Bill] Goldberg and all his ultimate success, I don't think any of that was planned. It was all organic. All of it was so different.
WWE was looking for an opponent for The Undertaker. They needed someone for an upcoming pay-per-view. I was supposed to be just one and done.
I really think, Charlotte Flair, come on, her legacy is going to be cemented throughout the years. That's just a given!
Hulk will always be a part of sports entertainment/professional wrestling history, and there's nothing that's gonna change that. His relationship with the WWE, whether it's official or unofficial, is something that can't really be erased.
If there was a dream match I could do, it would definitely be in a match against Curt Hennig. I think, growing watching him, I have hours and hours and hours of footage of 'Mr. Perfect' Curt Hennig and just studied his stuff for years.
As for personality, without a doubt, my favorite of all time is Macho Man Randy Savage.
I plan on headlining WrestleMania by WrestleMania 35.
I want to be World Heavyweight Champion, but unfortunately, that didn't happen.
Ever since I was a child I always wanted to be WWE Champion. I've been in love with sports-entertainment for my entire life, and I always wanted to do that.
When I see Big E, I clearly see someone who could be world champion. The guy is on another level.
You just remember back when you were watching as a kid and going, 'Man, Sting's so cool,' and now I'm wrestling the guy. It's breathtaking.
