The guys that go into the Hall of Fame are the winners, and the losers are the ones who put them in there, and I would like to see some of the great losers through the years be in the Hall of Fame. I know that that's probably impossible, but you've got to give those losers credit, they made the winners.

That is the thing that wrestling is, we are who we are. Even when we are established we are not actors. We are wrestlers.

This love of wrestling has been in my family with my dad, my brother, and myself.

Jim Ross has such compassion for the fans. That's because this is natural for him, it's a love, just like the love Gordon Solie had for the business.

My father was strict. He knew how to have a good relationship with Dory Jr. and I. He was our best friend, but we had a lot of fear.

In ECW, hardcore wrestling wasn't done just for the fun of it. It was done for a purpose, for a reason. And for me, it was done to exist and produce a revenue for my family.

Wrestling is truly my life, and I love being part of the professional wrestling world.

My father left a bit of his life with me. He gave me a gift, as did so many other wrestlers, like Mike DiBiase, Bob Geigel, Verne Gagne and Gene Kiniski. They all left me with something.

The crowd is everything in my life. I just love the fans, and I also have a lot of respect for them. They've given me everything I have in my life.

McMahon has made a lot of guys very rich, but he may also be taking years off their lives.

Jimmy Snuka was one of the great performers in the business. In ring performance wise he was phenomenal.

You must be very creative in our business. Creating in this business is making something new, but it is also touching on something old.
