Arn Anderson quotes

Ric and I had a very good relationship when I was wrestling, and we were on the road together, and we had the same thought process and we were heading towards the same goals.

Well, I worked with Brock a lot when he first got pulled up and he was trying to figure out who he was. When you have the unlimited ability like he does, and aptitude for this business, I could sit back and just picture stuff for him to do to guys - vicious stuff, and aggressive stuff, and utilizing his strength and athletic ability.

I always get the fathers and the younger grandpas coming up to me and telling me how much they loved me even though I was a bad guy for most of my run. But the most gratifying thing to me is when I have the young guys who cheer for John Cena come up to me and tell me how cool I am.

Enzo was a guy that put a long time down in NXT with Big Cass, but once they came up to the main roster, you go into a whole different learning phase or you're supposed to. You can't be too hard headed about that because there are people trying to help you and if you don't listen to those people and you fail, then it's on you.

The biggest mistake I would tell any young guy in this business is a guy playing a character. If you are you being you and the more you take being you down, the worse it is. You have to take the real you and make it a little louder, colorful and intelligent, it's hard to screw up being you.

When he wakes up in the morning Brock does what he wants to do and my hats off to him for that. I don't know of anybody else but Brock does what Brock wants and you gotta respect that.

Curtis Axel isn't Joe Hennig. That's who he should've been from day one, there are guys that have a legacy in this business. All that they would've had to do to help him from day one was let him be Joe Hennig.

When you flip flop your personality and your characters so many times back and forth, people can't trust you. They can't trust a word you say on a promo because last week, they loved you. This week, they're saying, 'Shut up!' And it diminishes your credibility, and when you have credibility with the audience, you're halfway there.

People may think that's not true, but everything I've done in this business, every sacrifice I made, every time I had guy come to me that I respect and go, 'Don't do that, you're Arn Anderson. You don't have to do that, just tell them no!' I went ahead and did whatever was requested to take care of my family.

Imagine waking up in the morning and going outside to take out your dog, take them for a walk and not have to then immediatly check your phone. It feels great to do that or go to the grocery store and just look around and watch people push the shopping cart around. After having to travel for 37 years, it's nice to be human again.

It would be kind of cool to look at yourself in the mirror as you're having a match.
