I always felt like the wrestling business was better off with two viable mainstream promotions.

I was given a chance to try announcing, and it was a job that, in the end, I did not care for very much.

I wanted to be a baseball player, but I became fascinated with wrestling as a teenager.

A lot of my loyalty is to the wrestlers - the guys who put their heart and health on the line.

Political parties could learn a lot from pro wrestling, as we have our passionate base, too, but we don't necessarily gear our show around them.

I don't have much choice but to be a WWE fan in my house.

I'd like to see Dolph Ziggler get involved in a really intense, personal feud that will bring out another side of his personality. Because the personality is there, and the wrestling is there, so I'd like someone to come along and bring out his ugly side.

For me, announcing wasn't the ideal working condition.

The truth is, pro wrestling is such an incredibly vast, incredibly surreal world. There's no telling how many words could be written about the subject - especially when the subject involves WWE.

I can still remember the first time I heard Tori Amos. It was the fall of 1993, and I was in the back of a colossal '79 Lincoln Coupe Mark V, embarking on some otherwise forgettable road trip somewhere in the Deep South.

I really enjoy Sarah Silverman's fearlessness.

One thing I was proud of when I did the college talks was that, although stories revolved around experiences that I had in wrestling, one did not need to be a wrestling fan to enjoy them.

Everything's relative. I don't think any new pursuit will be as difficult as trying to break into wrestling 25 years ago.

There was a time when Vader and I had a main event Pay-Per-View match, back in 1993 at Halloween Havoc, and I firmly thought that it was going to be the biggest match of my career and that everything after would just be going downhill.

I love, for example, 'Full Frontal with Sam Bee.' I just love her show.

Be safe and be realistic. They're both equally important.

It's much easier to see my son involved in creative than to see my daughter in the ring. But they've both worked really hard. I'm really proud of both of them.

I do some things just to entertain myself, and I figure that part of the audience will be entertained as well.

It's difficult to differentiate between a story that's humorous and clever and one that actually makes people laugh out loud.

I remember the first time I smelled B.O. was at a cross-country meet. But it wasn't unpleasant, in a strange way. That's what you got when you worked hard.

I think people know by now that I do my own writing.

I've actually met quite a few of my heroes from the past.

I think people who read Internet blogs are usually trying to fit it in during a busy part of their day, and there's only so much information that you digest. Whereas an experience with a book is a little more comfortable, and I think people are a little more willing to really delve into information.

Maybe I should have taken it easy on the smaller shows especially, but all in all, I have no regrets.
