I want you to do a real deep dive, but I want you to get into the word that it’s called quitting. I want you to really learn what quitting is and then I want you to come back with a commitment to do it a little less next time.”

“When my mouth moves, yours is closed. That’s how it works. Bad and the other one. If you like to be the other one, listen a little more than talk.”

“It was a great thing, it was Hulk Hogan…The first thing Colby said to him was, ‘When the camera came on, Hulk, I wanted you with the American flag…I came out behind you.'” Hulk interrupted and told him, ‘Colby, I’m a guest in your house. You go first, I’m behind you… I don’t want it any other way.’ And that was his attitude from the start and he was more than welcome in that dressing room.”
