NXT has more passion than the main roster because they are still proving themselves
NXT has morphed into becoming sort of its own brand... it's sort of like college football where you're still playing for the love of the game. It hasn't become about just money yet or just position yet... I think in NXT that passion comes across harder. They're still trying to prove a point.

View episodeGonzaga vs. UCLA was one of the best tournament games in history
This is sports rule because we have the national championship tonight in the Final Four on Saturday and one of the best basketball games, tournament games, we've watched in the history of the tournament. I'm fine with maybe being a little hyperbolic with that statement, that game fucking ruled.
The Houston Cougars were never on the same level as the elite teams in the 2021 NCAA Tournament.
Houston, nice run, gets to the Final Four, but kind of what we always thought in terms of the elite teams, that [Houston] wasn't on that level, and that's no shame to Houston.
I am 'simp as fuck' for Miley Cyrus and her musical performance at the Final Four was incredible.

I'm of the opinion that no matter what you do, people are going to, in their initial take on it, their initial thought is to question or criticize... nothing is perfect in its first iteration. And there'll be a lot of changes that are made... i think this is going to be a great thing for people long term.
Killer Kowalski would think modern wrestling training has 'made a bunch of pussies'
What would Kowalski say [about the Performance Center]? He would say we made a bunch of pussies. Like his version of if you did something wrong he had a plastic bag with a knot tied in the top... and he would hit you in the head with phone books.
Wrestling is about the emotional story, not the stunts
I'm a big believer in all of the stuff that we do is just stunts. The story is what gets people. There's that Maya Angelou statement of people don't remember what you say, they remember how you make them feel. I believe that's what's true in our business... it's the emotion of what you do.
