Every year, I think you earn the right to eat cake on your birthday.
Bret Hart
Someone like Bruno Sammartino should never be a jobber on a video game, so and so forth. I think you have to pay respect.
If you've got the confidence and the work ethic, you can make any dream come true.
If I was going to build a logical defense for myself in a match against Hulk Hogan, I think I would try to work on his legs. Take out any mobility.
'Superstar' Billy Graham was someone that my dad taught from A to Z, from tying up to submission wrestling. Billy was more of a showman than a wrestler. My dad used to love tying Billy in knots, and Iron Sheik would be watching.
I hope Seth Rollins becomes the safest, best wrestler in the world. And I wish him all the luck in 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.
When I think of a video game, I think about how I'd love to have Buddy Rogers vs. Ric Flair, something like that, where you can wrestle these Legends against each other from different periods and stuff.
I love tag team wrestling, and it's different than all the other matches.
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.
Vince Russo knows about as much about wrestling as Eric Bischoff does.
John Cena is like the 2010 version of Bret Hart. Fans see him as a real decent, upstanding human being.
I think WCW will kill any kind of joy in your life. I think I started hating money. The money they paid me was insane, but I would be off and fly first-class airplane, luxury cars and hotels, and then arrive at the arena and have Eric Bischoff tell you 5-10 minutes after 6 P.M. that you are off tonight.
I tip my hat to the long list of girls that have really taken wrestling up a notch.
Since retiring, there's only been one time I actually dreamed about wrestling. In my dream, I was wrestling against Kurt Angle. I had him clamped in a headlock. I was breathing hard, and I remember telling myself, 'This is only a dream. It's not real.' But the longer I held Kurt in a headlock, I started to believe it was real.
I think it's hard to differentiate between your wrestling character and your real character - you kind of end up being both. I've always been my wrestling character in and out of the ring and in and out of the dressing room, and I was always really respected in the dressing room by the other wrestlers.
I never trained in pro wrestling with The Sheik, but I did amateur wrestling with pro wrestlers in my dad's basement.
After being signed by WWE, Edge, Christian, Mark Henry, Giant Silva, Test and Ken Shamrock all trained at my house. I had a pool room with an indoor pool and a garden behind it. I took out the garden and put in a wrestling ring.
Ric Flair, as great was and a hard worker as he was, he just tends to get lost in the ring.
Employees who work for WWF, they have better benefits than the wrestlers do. The ones they should take care of is the wrestlers.
The feud with Jerry Lawler was one of the best feuds I ever had. He was the perfect heel and kept his heat. People hated him.
Bret 'the Hitman' Hart from circa, say, 1997, the U.S.-bashing Bret Hart, would have to lay a beat down on John Cena, I think.
Bill Goldberg kicked me in the head and ended my career because he didn't know what he was doing.
I love going back to cities where I had a strong fan base - like San Antonio, Minneapolis - those were really good fan bases, like Iowa and Chicago.
I don't have a good thing to say about Eric Bischoff or anything he ever did. Talk about the Midas touch, he was the opposite.
I'm living every day that it could be my last, and I'm grateful for every day.
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.
The only thing Hulk Hogan ever knew was how to make Hulk Hogan. He couldn't tell you how to make AJ Styles or Samoa Joe. What's Hulk Hogan going to tell Samoa Joe? He doesn't know anything to even tell him; he's got zero to offer.
I always had trouble being proud of how they were using me in WCW. It was hard for me to be interested in what they were doing, and what they were doing with me was pretty pathetic.
The Undertaker stood up for what was right. He earned everything he got.
I got into wrestling to make some money, see the world, and meet girls.
I think, without a doubt, whatever anyone says or anyone thinks, Natalya Neidhart is the premier, best woman wrestler.
I think Daniel Bryan reminds me a lot of my brother, Owen.
My relationship with fans is based off the love of my work and my work ethic.
I know Seth Rollins is a CrossFit guy. I just think back to my days, and I don't know how I could have done CrossFit training and then wrestled that night.
Hogan had the same match every night for years, and so did Warrior. They didn't tell great stories, to be honest.
I have nothing but respect for John Cena and his work rate. He's one of the hardest-working wrestlers there ever was. He's been a great champion, an inspiring role model. It's not easy being John Cena and carrying all the weight of the company on your back all the time.
Ric Flair is an old nemesis of mine.
I had wrestling in my blood.
If you watch punches, kicks, and moves where there is contact, Cody Rhodes is one of the best.
I suffered a stroke in 2002 that made everything else in my life that happened to that point pale in comparison.
Toronto deserves Rob Ford; they put him in office. Toronto deserves everything it gets.
A lot of people don't realize how severe a concussion injury is. You have to listen to the doctors. You have to be really careful about them.
It's hard to explain, but it's a beautiful thing to watch in wrestling when someone loses in the exact perfect way.
I worked hard, and I was always frustrated when wrestlers didn't want to work as hard.
I always had a much softer approach to my interviews and promos. I was not so much that wrestler that was yelling at the screen; I was always the one that was talking to my fans.
When you see Bret Hart versus Steve Austin, it just seemed so much more real than Hulk Hogan versus Sgt. Slaughter.
Growing up in wrestling - and I have been involved in wrestling, really, my entire life - I learned right from the get-go that you never forget your fans. They are the ones that put your food on the table and pay your bills.
When you're a kid, you always think about your parents, and I still do. I try to lead with the same example that they set.
Triple H is a former bodybuilder. He's all about bodies. He thought that Hulk Hogan was the greatest wrestler in the world. They think Ultimate Warrior was the greatest wrestler in the world because that's what they're attracted to, but he's not really a wrestling fan like I grew up. I was a wrestling fan.
