Quotes by Arn Anderson

I always thought that Bray Wyatt, who had the most creative characters that he came up with it - it was a part of him deep down that lived in him. That's the reason he was able to pull it off. It wasn't him playing a character, it was just a sliver of the real him amped up, and that's always the characters that get over.

Dustin Rhodes is very mature in this business and he is a very smart man and he came up in a rough way and let me put it to you this way; when you are Dusty Rhodes' kid it is a horrible shadow to step in to, number two you've already got heat because your Dad is the booker and people think you are getting a free ride.

When Miz was wrestling Cena I just know that there were a lot of guys that felt like they should've been in that spot. If you didn't want to be in that spot, somethings wrong with you.

You can't have some phantom guy that's got all the authority, that's booking all the matches. It takes that stretch of believability and it goes way, way, way too far.

Tully Blanchard was the best partner I ever had in the ring, period. We were in such sync after all those years together, that he could just give me a look and I know what he wanted and I could do the same to him. We never had to say a word in the ring to each other, period.

Everybody can't be a steamroller, everybody can't be a body guy, everybody can't be a world class technician. But if you've got some of that stuff, you can be around for a long time.

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.

I don't think anybody will ever say Eddie Guerrero was too little, Shawn Michaels was too little. I don't think you're ever going to think Dean Malenko was too little. Rey Mysterio? Certainly not too little. All these guys got over, and they were all tops in their field.

In the business, you're lucky if when you're done you can look on your hand and count the number of true friends you have on one hand. If you can do that, if you have five friends that you can really call friends, you've had a successful career.

Mike Tyson is one of those guys that for most of his career and I'm sure, he decided he was ready to quit long before he got beat. Had he just quit when he wanted to, he probably would've never gotten beat. He's just a beast. I'm a huge Mike Tyson fan. You're talking about a vicious son of a gun.

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.

He lived it 100 percent. He had the watch. He had the wardrobe. He drove the Mercedes. He lived the lifestyle of a Horsemen, and it was one of those things that you knew when Tully Blanchard came through the curtain, you were looking at a professional. And he believed that his crap didn't stink.

WrestleMania has to have 7 or 8 matches that have value in order to sell that show because people are coming from around the world to see it. When you sell 100,000 tickets, that's not based on one match. There's a lot of interest in a lot of matches.

WrestleMania will never be sold on one match. It just won't. One match will not draw a house these days. It's hard to draw a house at a live event with just a single main event and nothing underneath it.

I knew the Undertaker from day one when he was with WCW, 'til he moved to the WWF. I used to sit there with my chin on the ground when a guy that size would walk that top rope. It was unbelievable stuff that the guy can do.
