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