Kurt Angle is an Olympic gold medalist, one of the greatest in-ring performers of all-time.

Shane Douglas's work in the first 11 months as The Franchise of ECW was so groundbreaking. He made people forget about his on-air persona in WCW and successfully reinvented himself as The Franchise in ECW.

The whole concept of ECW was that the biggest star of the promotion was the promotion itself. It didn't matter if a persona was designed to elicit cheers or boos. It didn't matter if someone was an antagonist or protagonist. The whole concept was to fight for the honor of the cause. The cause was ECW itself.

People are remembered for defining moments in their career.

Triple H is one of the greatest in-ring performers of all-time.

Goldberg is authentic. What you see is what you get, and he's a wrecking machine.

Goldberg was as close to a cultural icon as WCW ever produced.

Ronda Rousey is a groundbreaker. She is one who charts through territory that has never been explored before and is one of the biggest sports stars in the world, male or female.

Brock Lesnar is an extraordinary, underrated forward thinker. Every day of Brock's life, he is smarter than he was the day before.

No one goes to WrestleMania wanting to walk away goin,g 'Yeah, it was okay, but I thought last year's was better.'

WrestleMania is an experience. It's an overall ride, its ups and its downs and its curves and its music. It's presentation, and it's emotion, and it's paying tribute to the past and progressing the product into the future. It's career-defining moments for people who live for career-defining moments.

I haven't wanted to portray a manager since Paul E. Dangerously was with the Samoan Swat Team in 1989. I've always wanted to do some different presentation in that role. I don't consider myself a manager - I'm an advocate, and I truly believe that that is the description for the role that I play.

I think that Dean Ambrose is driven to create a first-time-ever, unique character that other people in the future can be compared to.

I don't think you can ever tell the story of Ted Turner's involvement in professional wrestling-slash-sports entertainment without devoting several chapters to the rise and continued ascent of Sting.

I think you should start the first 90 minutes of Raw with a Paul Heyman promo and the second 90 minutes of Raw with Brock Lesnar wiping out the entire roster. But then again, that's my vision for Monday Night Raw.

I don't follow football, because it's predetermined.

Brock Lesnar and I have a very unique chemistry. It works. It's worked since 2002; it will continue to work any time we are presented together.

You wouldn't have thought Paul Heyman and CM Punk would have been so effective with the WWE Title, but we were because we understood our roles to each and the audience.

I hate watching myself because when I watch anything I've ever done, I realize all the ways I could have done it better.

I've never walked through the curtain with someone I wasn't trying to audition as a WrestleMania main-eventer, and I never want to.

I think ECW itself was a gimmick. I think getting the audience to chant ECW was really something. I don't care if you draw 70,000 people in a dome for Wrestlemania - nobody chants WWE.

I was a huge fan of Raven because of the way he redefined how a champion should wrestle.

Like any compelling show on television, what works best in WWE is relationships. What's the relationship between these two people, and how does the conflict manifest itself into box office?

Brock Lesnar and I are as different as any two people can be. What drew us together was the love of the actual performance aspect of what we do.

Working with Brock Lesnar is a daily challenge because every Monday night that we're on television, I feel compelled to deliver, at least from my end, the best performance I've ever put on.

I look at every promo I do as a command performance to do better than I did the previous week if not deliver the best promo of my life.

I always tell Brock Lesnar the truth. I don't appease Brock Lesnar. I don't placate Brock Lesnar. When Brock Lesnar asks me for an opinion, I give to him an honest opinion that I'm willing to back up with facts, with theory.

I don't think anyone realizes how much Bray Wyatt has to offer.

I would probably confess that I was the greatest disappointment of my mother's life, but my father only admired his son's moxie, drive, hustle, and wherewithal to pursue his dreams no matter how I achieve them.

I love what I do. I'm passionate about what I do. I live for what I do. And every morning, I can't wait to stop sleeping and to jump up and get out of bed and start doing what I do.

I can't tell you that it would be bad exposure for me to be associated with someone who has the global Q-rating of Ronda Rousey. She certainly knows how to attract attention and garner tons of publicity, and just to be in on the merchandising of Ronda Rousey, would love for her to be a Paul Heyman girl.

Oh, I'm a huge fan of 'Lucha Underground.'

Here's the funny thing: Nothing drives a performance like an audience that gives back and even takes over. ECW was a product that will be remembered as much, if not more, for its audience interaction as for the things that happened in the ring.

Brock Lesnar is a fascinating human being.

Vince McMahon became a billionaire based on Attitude, and Attitude was spawned by the ECW experience.

Brock Lesnar is the most unique athlete in this history of World Wrestling Entertainment, and I say that with without embellishment or exaggeration.

If you show me someone who's afraid of failure, I'll show you someone who is not a groundbreaking, innovative pioneer of a certain industry.

Where Brock Lesnar would be without Paul Heyman? He would certainly be on top. He would certainly be the number one box office attraction. He would just be doing it without someone who truly understands his persona like I do.

I never looked at ECW as wrestling. I always considered it more of a theology. I don't know whether I had or didn't have a messianic complex during that time. But I bought into the movement as much as, if not more than, anybody else. If I sold anyone on the religion of extreme, I was its number-one customer.

I think Sting would be denying his fans a great moment if Sting did not step into WWE competition at least once. I have always been a huge admirer of what Sting brings to the table and his relationship with his audience, and I would be dramatically disappointed if Sting does not wrestle a WWE match.

My father was an attorney in the state of New York, which is where I came up with the term 'advocate.'

Defeat is a wonderful experience if it motivates you to never forget you're only as good as your last performance.

A little humbling never hurt a great advocate.

I think Brock Lesnar does whatever Brock Lesnar wants to do.

If Brock Lesnar wants to fight in UFC, Brock Lesnar will fight in UFC. If Brock Lesnar wants to fight in WWE, he will fight in WWE.

Brock Lesnar does what Brock Lesnar wants to do.

The problem with these UFC fighters - and they're all fantastic athletes, top of the line in the entire world - is that they wear their bodies down in these training camps. All these guys that are cutting weight are just destroying their own bodies.

Even my enemies would acknowledge that I'm a great judge of talent, and this statement will be proven true time and time again.

Curtis Axel has more talent than his grandfather and his father.

We live in an ever-changing global pop culture community.
