"They (fans) respond mostly to what WWE trains them to respond to. An ankle lock gets over because Kurt Angle does the ankle lock and everyone submits to it. A triangle by Undertaker doesn't get over because WWE has never trained the fans to accept that as a finish because no one ever taps to it. And it was the same thing when Shamrock was in WWE."

"Look, Maria. I know what you're thinking. I don't bring girls that look like you home to the Palace of Wisdom. But that doesn't mean you can't dream about it."

"At the Palace of Wisdom they don't send a boy to do a man's job, they send The Shaman; the Shaman of Sexy. (in reference to Shawn Michaels and his theme song referring to himself as a Sexy Boy)"

"Teddy Long could never hang out at the Palace of Wisdom.."

"We do have jackets like that at the Palace of Wisdom. (in reference to [[w:Michael Hayes|Michael"

"We don't let virgins hang out at the Palace of Wisdom."

"We can't smell what The Rock is cookin' at the Palace of Wisdom."

"We don't play with action figures at the Palace Of Wisdom."

"We don't need sexual performance enhancers at the Palace of Wisdom... but we use them anyway."

"You're dying to spend a night with me in the Palace of Wisdom. (to Kelly Kelly)"

"We hang out with Mr. Fuji at the Palace of Wisdom."

"We don't dance with leprechauns at the Palace of Wisdom."

"I don't take calls from Joey Styles at the Palace of Wisdom."

"We don't let nerds hang out at the Palace of Wisdom."

"We date real women in the Palace of Wisdom."

"We don't like fatties at the Palace of Wisdom."

"We don't like snakes in the Palace of Wisdom."

"We don't have worms at the Palace of Wisdom."

"We don't get Top Rope Theatre at the Palace of Wisdom"

"We don't allow sludge at the Palace of Wisdom"

"Roll ups don't exist at the Palace of Wisdom"

"We don't drink diet soda at the Palace of Wisdom, Punk!"

"If Santa came to the Palace of Wisdom, we'd beat him up with candy canes."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the reason you're all here tonight, the new face of extreme, the man who defeated CM Punk in the middle of the ring at the Great American Bash, the greatest ECW champion of all time... John Morrison."

"Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. the truth is WWE Universe loves John Morrison"

"I am the guru of greatness, the shaman of sexy, the ECW champion John Morrison. I am beyond good and evil, a portal to the infinite. Punk, you are temporary, fleeting, a footnote to an average reality. You want me to embarrass you at SummerSlam? Is that it? Then go ahead, sign it, but the fact is you can't handle the pressure, Punk. You couldn't handle being the ECW champion."

"Well think about it, Punk. Think about it before you sign that. Last week, you couldn't even last fifteen minutes in the ring with the new face of extreme, the Tuesday night delight, John Morrison."

"You know what, Punk? You been knockin' at my door at the palace of wisdom ever since I became the ECW champion. But sittin' right there with your lame tattoos and that little chair is as close as you're ever gonna get to earthly paradise."

"Some are born to sweet delight and others born to endless night."

"CM Punk, I suggest cashing in your tickets at Chuck E. Cheese for a replica ECW Championship because that’s the closest you’re ever going to get to the gates of paradise."

"William Blake once said the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom. And that’s where I dwell. John Morrison is enlightened."

"CM Punk playing Skee-Ball at Chuck E. Cheese is never going to reach the intellectual heights and experience the life that John Morrison experiences and, therefore, he will never know what to do in the ring against John Morrison."

"The problem with Punk and the straightedge lifestyle is that he doesn’t experience the things that John Morrison experiences."

"I guess that I'm just a plain wild dude."

"Taylor is the best college linebacker I've ever seen. Sure, I saw Dick Butkus play. There's no doubt in my mind about Taylor. He's bigger and stronger than Butkus was. On the blitz, he's devastating."

"I mean everything you did (on offense) was predicated to where he was and what he was doing."

"We had to try in some way have a special game plan just for Lawrence Taylor. Now you didn't do that very often in this league but I think he's one person that we learned the lesson the hard way. We lost ball games."

"A transformation would take place when he'd put on his uniform. He would be transformed into this homicidal maniac."

"He is the Michael Jordan of football."

"I think that he was the greatest football player that I ever stepped on the field against. Nobody dictated what you could do offensively like LT."

"All I can say about Lawrence Taylor is that he's the best defensive football player I've seen. I've said many times he's the best player I've seen in my era defensively. Everyone else is a pretender."

"You saw hunger. Some guys were great at playing their position but didn't have that feeling inside and that was something that L.T. had with him every down of every game and he never lost it."

"In 30 or 40 years, I'm going to take out the tapes and show them to my grandkids. To show them I really played against Lawrence Taylor. The greatest. (He was then asked what he will tell his grandkids) That he was everything they said he was."

"As a freshman playing on special teams, he'd jump a good six or seven feet in the air to block a punt, then land on the back of his neck. He was reckless, just reckless."

"Lawrence Taylor, defensively, has had as big an impact as any player I've ever seen. He changed the way defense is played, the way pass-rushing is played, the way linebackers play and the way offenses block linebackers."

"I had gotten really bad. I mean my place was almost like a crack house."

"Let's go out there like a bunch of crazed dogs and have some fun."

"The demons will always be there, Always. But you know, (hard breath) you can always fight demons."

"It's not a moment I want to remember, or see again."
