It's unacceptable to just sit on the couch and say I'm not doing anything. You've got to get out and do everything you can.
Enough is enough and it's time for a change.
Walk along one day and do nothing wrong, play by the rules, be a good person, do everything right: it doesn't guarantee anything.
Nobody really knows for sure who the Blue Blazer is, but like I said in my interview, there's a little bit of the Blue Blazer in each and every one of us.
When I came into the WWF, the first thing I really didn't want to have was being Bret Hart's little brother.
It's hard to pick out one particular wrestler.
I love working in Canada. The ovation is great. It makes me feel like I'm the top dog.
Not only was it that I surprised people by beating Bret Hart, but it was a great match. They still rate it as one of the best wrestling matches of all time.
There's so many documentaries out there right now and everything's exposing wrestling.
A guy like Benoit, he's really good and a lot like Dynamite. Dynamite, just because he was the original, was the best. But, you know, Benoit now is by far better. Dynamite Kid is nothing now.
The perks of working in Japan are that you might go for two weeks every three or four months, so you do work an abbreviated schedule. But you really make up for the abbreviated schedule by how hard you have to fight, how much you've got to be in shape.
When I won the belt, it was kind of a precedent... The only Canadian to have ever held it.
It's good to go out and entertain these people, and you've got them on the edge of their seat, they're standing up. Then you know that you've done your job, you've entertained them. My way of entertaining them is going out and wrestling. Everyone's got their different ways.
... and that's why I kicked your leg out of your leg!
