My life is like driving down a road. I occasionally glance in the rearview mirror, but I'm not focused on the past or looking back anymore.
God has blessed me many times. I had some great genetics.
I'll go on record and say it's way more fun riding in front of a cop car then riding in the back cuz you can get out if you want to.
Obviously, I'm against bullying, but it does happen.
The NWO, yeah, we're a bunch of outlaws, thugs, whatever you want to call us, but... we do what we want, when we want. And we're having fun doing it.
When I came in, there wasn't a bunch of women wrestlers. There was maybe one or two who came in a couple months a year.
Powerbombing someone on the apron or into the turnbuckle, those are not moves Sting and I grew up with.
Dusty Rhodes was really good to me and helped me and started me.
Everybody's going to have their own tolerance toward ribbing or bullying or whatever. If somebody's more sensitive, then you can't rib them as much.
I've always said it ain't 'Show Friends.' It's 'Show Business.'
If people are offering you help, swallow your pride and accept it because people who care about you want to help you.
If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably live the same way.
I don't want to die, but I'm not afraid to.
It's hard to ask for help. It's even harder to accept it when people offer it.
The NWO... we feel like we are the people's choice; we're doing things for the working man.
When I'm in the ring, I'm doing great. As Razor Ramon or the 'Bad Guy,' I don't have a care in the world. But when I come back through the curtain, reality is there waiting.
Once you learn how to work inside the ring - once you learn how to tell a story - then you can come to a big company like the WWE and learn the extra stuff, like the video, the pyro, the music, and that adds to everything you can do.
In a perfect world, I'd end up at NXT.
When guys leave NXT and go to the main roster, those guys are already over.
I never really thought about the fact I wasn't world champion. It's all fake, so having a belt really means having extra weight in your luggage.
One time in WCW, I was the U.S. champ, tag champ, and the TV champ. I had three belts, and I wore them all. I just think it's hilarious, and I never really got caught up in the world title thing.
My daughter is on academic scholarship at the University of Central Florida. I feel so blessed.
I don't work any different in Japan than I do in the U.S. Some guys do, but if you're entertaining, you're entertaining, and if you're not, you're not, and that plays worldwide.
When the fans spend money, you normally leave the audience happy.
In WCW, your future was determined by the time you signed the contract. I was the lowest-paid guy in the company at $75,000.
Curt Hennig was my buddy, and he had great success with Mr. Perfect.
I had been successful in Japan, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, but nothing in the U.S. where it really matters.
I'm a big Kevin Sullivan fan.
Coming to Atlanta was like being in a country club. It was really tame in the locker room in WCW compared to New York.
I always wanted to be a main eventer in pro wrestling. I lived my dream, but the excess of the '80s and the huge money of the '90s became a great temptation for many of us.
I had the inability to ask for help when I needed it. People offered to help me, but I refused. They'd ask 'How are you?' and I'd answer, 'Better than you.'
My most important legacy is being a good father to my two children.
I'm not a Bret Hart fan.
Shawn Michaels really helped me a lot. We helped each other. It was a good partnership.
I think it's great you have guys like Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura in WWE.
What I want to do is bring back managing in the wrestling business.
I would consider myself one of the highest-paid job guys in history.
My deal with WCW was if I'd choose to show up, I was guaranteed a certain amount, but I'm not required to come to work for WCW.
I would love to help guys transition from 'NXT' to 'Raw.'
What sucks the most is when you can't even keep a promise to yourself.
I was Razor Ramon, and I started the nWo.
If you think TNA sucks, you're right.
WCW is a television company that produces a wrestling show. The WWE is a wrestling company that produces a television show.
If you have any talent, you can't be held back, and you can't be held down.
Whether they cheer or whether they boo really doesn't bother me as long as they're paying attention.
The WWE machine is a lot stronger than it was when I was there. When you go to TV, it's unbelievable the production that's going on.
I want to do a travel show.
I'm working on a cooking show; I'm going to do some of it at Dallas Page's performance center. I'm going to do a cooking show called 'Dude Food,' where I show young guys how to eat good and clean, cheap.
Anybody who shows love for my kid, I got love for.
