I want to be the best in everything I do and I want to work hard. That's what drives me.

I've already done it. Right now, it's fun. I'm just having fun. I'm ending my career and having fun doing it. These guys, they've got another year. They want to win it so they can have fun next year.

I hardly ever get nervous. I get in the spotlight and I just have fun. I see those people, I feed off their energy. It's just great. I love being in the spotlight. I love being on top.

A lot of wrestlers will tell you they hate losing more than they like winning. It's that nature I don't want to lose.

I take losses in a positive way. I learn from losses. I dwell on them for about 10 minutes, and then that's it.

It was real hard. I worked hard all year long and just to have a string of injuries toward the end of the year and one keeping me out, it was real tough watching my teammates wrestle out there without me. But I think it was a good thing that happened to me; it helped me to work harder.
