On the Match:

“I loved it. Absolutely loved it. You know, you watch wrestling your whole life, I’m in wrestling my whole adult life. And occasionally you see matches like this, and it just makes you realize why you love this whole art, this genre, this sport, this — whatever this professional wrestling is.

“These guys were fantastic. I was watching it from a sports bar, and I was watching the people also. Because I was in the back, so people didn’t know who I was. So I was just kind of watching from the back. And they had big screens everywhere, people were watching. And I was watching the people as much as anything, because I wanted to see their reaction. People just loved it. Absolutely loved it. This was a hell of a match.”

On Why It Worked:

“It was so good to see. Just two guys who could flat out work. Good storylines, good emotion between the two, but just two guys who could work, who don’t need the bells and whistles, who don’t need a million run-ins, who don’t need a lot of fixing curtains around it. Just two guys who can go out there and work, and that’s what they did. I thought it was indeed a WrestleMania main event, which is saying a lot.”
