Wrestling heels must stay in character at the arena to maintain credibility with fans

My thing is when you're a bad guy, a heel, you, of course, obviously just the character you play, but when you're on site at the arena, you have to play the character. You have to because if you don't, if you're nice to everybody and then an hour later when you're in the ring and trying to get people to boo you, people are like, oh, I'm not going to boo you.

This is a professional philosophy in the industry.

Jimmy Butler going to the Rockets would be healthy because he would blow everything up immediately

Jimmy Butler gets in, and he just blows everything up. I think that's way more entertaining and, frankly, more healthy [than the Rockets' current passive-aggressive state].

Butler never signed with the Rockets, so the impact cannot be verified.

Daryl Morey is playing with house money and the Jimmy Butler pursuit is his ultimate move

It's almost like he's playing with house money at this point, and Jimmy Butler, J-Butt, is the ultimate house money move.

Morey's tenure ended in 2020 without a title, suggesting the 'house money' risks didn't fully pay off for the Rockets.

Poutine is not the national food of Canada

Poutine is not the national food of Canada. I have never had poutine before. Now suddenly everybody's Mr. Poutine. This is poutine. This side and the other thing.

While poutine is widely considered the national dish, its official status is debated and its rise in popularity is a relatively recent 20th-century phenomenon.

My upcoming match against Kenny Omega at AEW Double or Nothing is the most important of my career

The match we're going to have this Saturday for the first All Elite Wrestling show, Double or Nothing versus Kenny Omega for the rematch... I think it's something that's very important because it's the first show in AEW's history with the biggest match that we have... that's going to be a very important in the zone type of match.

The match was highly acclaimed and successfully launched AEW as a viable promotion, making his assessment of its importance accurate.

AEW's existence will force Vince McMahon to improve the WWE product

It's also going to stick a boot up Vince's ass. You know, you're not just, if you're running a race and no one's behind you, you slow down, you stop, have a drink, whatever. If there's someone right on your heels and you're about ready to lose the race, you're going to run as fast as you can.

WWE's business surged in the years following AEW's launch, though the product's creative improvement is subjective.
