I get cheered more and more for one simple reason: When I step in the ring, I steal the show! I will not accept anything less from myself.

Don't look forward to me putting on the trunks and knee braces to get back in the ring and stomp a mudhole in somebody and walking it dry.

Even Charles Darwin, that human decoder ring of bizarre behavior, found the idea of saving a stranger's life to be a total head-scratcher.

When greeting Pope Benedict a few years ago, I was meant to kiss the papal ring but I head-butted his hand instead. He just laughed at me.

I like doing accents. One of my friends works in hotel reservations and I'll ring her up and complain about the suite. Sometimes I get her.

When I was leaving WWE, I'd started becoming interested in applying parkour to the matches and using the ring environment in fun, new ways.

When it comes to wrestling, I'm 100 percent confident in my abilities, and I see myself being in the ring as long as my body can handle it.

The game Rock Band has been haunting me like a bad ring tone. It gets stuck in my head and momentarily effaces all that I love about music.

That's why John Cena was No. 1 for so many years. Because every time John got in the ring with somebody, he made them better than they were.

A politician should have three hats. One for throwing into the ring, one for talking through, and one for pulling rabbits out of if elected.

A lot of people hated every moment of my 'Ring.' And a lot of people who had never been to an opera bought subscriptions to the next season.

I want to be known to fans and appreciated as a 'boxer-painter' in regards to speed, footwork, punching power - an art form inside the ring.

I have three tank tops which I wrung terribly, fixed them many times. I had people rip them in the ring and swear at them, and I'd fix them.

I've never had a chance to go to the Finals, and I don't have a ring - and that would be the only thing that would get me to think about it.

I spent a few years cutting my teeth in the Midwest; I worked for Ring of Honor, then I went down to Florida and relearned everything there.

You have a good side and bad side, real side. Then I put that on in the ring. My character, my personality in the ring, came from heel stuff.

I used to always like the tag teams because you can do, to me, more entertaining, cooler, crazier stuff when there's more bodies in the ring.

Jerry Rice had won two Super Bowls already by the time he got to his ninth year in the league. That's what it's all about: winning that ring.

When I was maybe 22, 23 years old or so, I was sort of floating in between New Japan, Ring of Honor, TNA - not really committed to one place.

This is embarrassing and personal, but once a month, since I was twelve years old, I go to my favorite jewelry store and try on my dream ring.

I love to give the fans what they want. They're what I miss most when I'm not wrestling. That time in the ring is like being in heaven for me.

Critics will tell you the 'meet cute' is a tired old writing cliche, but the thing is, cliche's work - because they ring true with the reader.

We fell in love with wrestling, and then we really wanted to break barriers, and we now get to do that because that's evolved beyond the ring.

I didn't want to get that ring around my lips from practicing the trumpet, because I thought the girls wouldn't like me. So I never practiced.

Anytime you think about ring rust and travel and camps back-to-back, it helps not having any bad injuries and being able to train consistently.

I have the same malice in my heart as far as the fight game is concerned, but outside the ring, I won't say anything a dignified man won't say.

I remember arriving to my tryout and being extremely nervous, but the second I stepped in the ring, I knew this was where I was supposed to be.

I am awesome. I'm the most must-see WWE superstar: I'm proven inside the ring and outside the ring. I'm the best on the mic; I get the ratings.

Going to Russia is going to be nothing for me. I'm going to treat it like it's the U.S. because, at the end of the day, it's one man, one ring.

I don't like telephones: I don't like when they ring. Just because it rings, you have to pick it up. I don't even like opening mail; I'm weird.

As far as past men go, I loved Jeff Hardy. He reminds me of my husband in a way. He's quieter but has a presence in the ring that's, like, wow.

I grew up watching wrestling my whole life, so to get the chance to step in the ring that I've watched on TV so many times is a dream come true.

I've always believed that the audience and the energy that the audience creates is sometimes just as important as the action inside of the ring.

My last name's kind of interesting - Farmer. I don't really think it's interesting for the stage. I think Lynne kind of had a better ring to it.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been confident of coming out on top in a brawl, but the ring is a lot different from a bar. That's been my problem.

You have two alternatives. One: you can put your life on hold and wait for the phone to ring. Two: you run ahead as if your life depended on it.

The biggest thing I've learned, on the inside of my Hall of Fame ring, normally people put their name. I've put 'Work ethic equals results! DDP.'

Sometimes I definitely crack up in the ring. If I tried to consciously go in there and keep a straight face, I'm sure it would be very difficult.

Since Sabu was the first guy that I was in the ring with professionally, we have the longest history in my career, and also, we were like minded.

You can't ring up another manager and say, 'Who do you think I should pick this week?' But you take the good and bad from people as you go along.

For me, marriage is about love, not paperwork. I've never been the kid who dreamed of the big white dress, the long veil, the fancy diamond ring.

My mother says I didn't open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked.

I am not into guys who powder-puff punch and run round the ring for 12 rounds. I'm into guys that want to shock the world with devastating power.

We're always driven by our mindset and feeling on a particular show day, so you'll never know what you'll get until you see it happen in the ring.

There's definitely some stuff that I wear or used to wear, or I used to do in the ring, that I look back, and I'm like, 'Oh, what was I thinking?'

When boxers are in the ring, they're simple. It's when the fight is over, that's when the other fight, the real fight, begins. That's the problem.

I cant remember the last time I went in the ring feeling whole. The pain is something you learn to live with. Some guys don't and they don't last.

Steve Corino was a guy I met before I got into Ring of Honor. I got to work with Steve, and he kind of took me under his wing and really helped me.

I don't take anything seriously. But Maryse's ring character is like, 'you want to look like me, be like me, have everything I have but you can't.'

It's difficult not to like Justin Gabriel when you see him in the ring. He's one of those guys like an Evan Bourne or a Rey Mysterio, a high flyer.
