Paul Heyman

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

If your heart's not pumping premium on WrestleMania Sunday, then I don't understand what you're doing at WrestleMania.

The Dangerous Alliance consists of the following - 'The Advocate' Paul Heyman and 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar. That Dangerous Alliance is the single most formidable faction in the history of sports entertainment. We don't need Four Horsemen. We don't need three Freebirds. We don't need a Legion of Doom.

I dearly believe in my heart that Goldberg is a family man who has a profound love for his wife and son and wants his family to see him as that superhero that people romanticize him being during the height of his fame.

Ronda Rousey is a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, and anything that Ronda Rousey does is going to come with extreme scrutiny because she is such a pivotal figure in not only American sports but in global sports as well.

I'm not someone who concerns himself with whether people pay to cheer Roman Reigns or whether people pay to boo Roman Reigns. People pay to see Roman Reigns. They pay to react to Roman Reigns.

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

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

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

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

I never envisioned multimillion-dollar offices for 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.
