“He would explain things as a person making a lot of, if not all, the choices. I am always in search of a good explanation, and he would always give one. And in giving the good explanation, you would get a nugget. And because Vince had such fluency in every avenue of the business, a lot of performers are worried about the stunts.”

“I think one of the benefits of doing 220 shows a year is pace. And if you obsess over the physical aspect of the business, you might get exhausted. You might burn out. I love the technical aspects, but then I also became obsessed with the theatrical aspects. And then I also became obsessed, especially before I won my first championship on the way to getting relevance and the way of shifting from the obscure Saturday night program to SmackDown.”
“I became interested in the business and not my business, like how can I take from this place to make as much as I can? The business, how do we get more people in the arena? And the only person it seemed like that had a good explanation for a lot of those questions was Vince. And that allowed just a wealth of information to be dumped on me. I had full faith and trust in him. I think he had full faith and trust in me.” said Cena.
