Being Vince McMahon's son on TV:
"I did that for about 3 months, where I was his son, maybe longer, and there were days in the beginning where I would go, 'Oh my god, I'm working with the most powerful man in wrestling.' Then I realized that he's joking around, he's playing ribs on guys more than I am. You just realize that he is this billionaire, but still just loves this business."
His heat with The Rock
"I told him [The Rock], 'I met you backstage the night you came back in [Anaheim], when you were revealed as the guest host for WrestleMania, and you thought I was a Make a Wish kid. You tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'Did you have a good time tonight buddy?' Then you walked off and you realized it, then you said to Big Show, 'Hornswoggle thinks I thought he was a Make a Wish kid, and I did think he was.'"
Using the word "wrestling"
"When it comes to wrestling, I use that word instead of sports entertainment, I use wrestling all the time, because I am a wrestling fan. CM Punk once said this is still wrestling to us, this isn't sports entertainment to us, because we grew up on wrestling."
Finlay
"My old buddy, my 'Dad' Dave Finlay. He's still working backstage as an agent and producer, and he has helped me more than anybody else in this company. He has gone to bat for me more times that he probably wanted to, and that's because he literally cares about me as a son."
