'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.
Bret Hart
I was a high school wrestler. I was city champion.
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.
I think I had a really hard-working and authentic wrestling style, so people liked the way I was - that I was a 'no-quit' kind of wrestler - and I was very realistic and credible in my style.
I don't know about England so much, but in Germany and some of these other countries, the pink was something that they liked. For those kids, the pink and black and the whole look with the sunglasses and the leather jacket was the right kind of hero they could get behind, and I think that really set me apart from everyone else.
If you've got the confidence and the work ethic, you can make any dream come true.
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.
Employees who work for WWF, they have better benefits than the wrestlers do. The ones they should take care of is the wrestlers.
I think in 1997, I was in my absolute prime. I was never bitter; I was uninjured. I was ready to go and ready to make some serious changes to make a difference to have my all-time favorite matches that I would have loved to have.
I love when I think about the SummerSlam match against The Undertaker. What a great match, wonderful story. Two wrestlers that had such great respect for one another.
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 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.
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.
I love tag team wrestling, and it's different than all the other matches.
Seth Rollins is one of the hardest-working wrestlers I've ever seen.
There is an art to wrestling, and there is a need to do it right. Cody Rhodes exemplifies all the right things.
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.
If you watch punches, kicks, and moves where there is contact, Cody Rhodes is one of the best.
Flair was a tricky guy to work with when I worked with Ric. When he was champion, we had much better matches, and the moment the title got switched, we seemed to screw up my match every night.
Ric Flair, as great was and a hard worker as he was, he just tends to get lost in the ring.
I think, without a doubt, whatever anyone says or anyone thinks, Natalya Neidhart is the premier, best woman wrestler.
I could only be frustrated right from the day I started in WCW and realized that it was a company run by a bunch of idiots that didn't have a clue what they were doing.
I think Daniel Bryan reminds me a lot of my brother, Owen.
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.
Toronto deserves Rob Ford; they put him in office. Toronto deserves everything it gets.
John Cena is like the 2010 version of Bret Hart. Fans see him as a real decent, upstanding human being.
Vince Russo knows about as much about wrestling as Eric Bischoff does.
I don't have any personal grudge against Vince Russo, but I just know watching the shows that all his shows look the same.
I think the best wrestling always needs to pretend to be real, and Vince Russo's wrestling is so pathetically far-fetched and phony that I think he does a disservice to his wrestlers and the business.
I jumped at the chance to be a part of Stroke Recovery Canada. I want to help March of Dimes Canada in its efforts to support stroke recovery and improve the quality of life of all Canadian stroke survivors.
I tip my hat to the long list of girls that have really taken wrestling up a notch.
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.
I had wrestling in my blood.
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.
There's a lot of talent out there that miss their opportunities, and I just hope that AJ Styles doesn't waste his life in TNA.
I know that Cena has a lot of detractors, but I'm very proud of him. He's a good hero.
I'm always grateful for any kind of moment that keeps my memories alive and gives me a little taste of the excitement I used to get all the time.
People always think I left, and I was living in the States for a long time... But home has always been Calgary.
If you watch wrestling like I do, you watch for the wrestling. There's so much talking. There's some 'twit' back there with a pencil behind his ear writing down all these things for wrestlers to say.
Someone like Bruno Sammartino should never be a jobber on a video game, so and so forth. I think you have to pay respect.
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 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.
If you're going to have a Hall of Fame, you've got to have Owen Hart in the Hall of Fame.
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.
Whenever I discuss my family, I inevitably think of my brother Owen.
I've taken up sculpting. I thought it might help the nerves in my hands.
I often run into wrestlers at comic conventions or wrestling events, and it could be Tito Santana or Demolition, and I'm just flooded with memories. It's always nice to see one of your old mates, especially the ones who I knew from further back.
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.
My father was a man's man and was always respected for being a straight shooter. My dad always had an amazing sense of calm about him.
