Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes storyline

Randy takes the chair, and he sits in the ring, and he's looking at the title. He looks over at the announce table, and then he goes back to looking at the title, and then he looks straight up at the camera. He's saying an awful lot with his eyes. With one head nod, he's like, 'You get it. This is how bad I want to be champion. I will sacrifice my boy in order to be champion again.'

Drew McIntyre vs. Jacob Fatu announcement

Drew McIntyre comes in. He messes it up. And it works in Trick Williams' favor. So it was great to hear Nick Aldis at the end of the show say that since you didn't quit and you want to put your nose in business that don't belong to you, next week on SmackDown, we're going to get Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu.

Randy Orton's character shift

You push Nick Aldis down, you push Jelly Roll down and you sit there and you become unpredictable. You become the Viper. This is circa 2008-2009 Randy Orton.

I'm so damn happy right now that Randy Orton is back to being the Viper. Don't trust him, don't turn your back on him, don't hug him, don't reach to shake his hand, don't ask for acknowledgement. Fear him and treat him like he's going to punch you at any moment.

Mark Henry's career reflection

As much as I love being Mr. USA, as much as I love being Sexual Chocolate, as much as I love being the World's Strongest Man, you know where I made the most money? In the Nation of Domination kicking people's ass in the Hall of Pain.

Drew McIntyre's character analysis

Drew attracts it because he puts himself in places where he shouldn't be. He whines and people that are whiners like to point the finger at other people that are doing stuff and that's why he got his ass beat and now he's upset that he got beat again.

Wrestling philosophy

I never bowed to no man. I got into wrestling and I tried my best to be respectful of the people that were teaching me, but the people that were teaching me gave me the best advice I ever got: Don't take advice from everybody.
