On Randy Orton: “I’ve said it before, I think he’s the best television wrestler at 40 however old he is, still. I’ll argue with anybody in this industry or any other about that because I firmly believe that he’s super cool, he’s methodical in a slithery way, you know what I mean? Like there’s nothing not awesome about Randy Orton.”
On how Orton is reminiscent of Jake The Snake Roberts: “I’ll tell you who was really good way before his time but nobody knew what we were doing — well Vince and crew did but nobody else really did — Jake The Snake was a great television wrestler. Worked the audience through the television screen and that’s what Randy does. Randy’s head and shoulders above the rest. He’s one that was trained under the learning tree of the Undertaker and Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels and all these guys, he came up with Cena and Batista and all them guys.”
