People have always worn Cleveland shirts and supported Cleveland no matter how bad the teams were or how close we were. It didn't matter. That's really all about the city. We're just hardworking people that love the city and don't care how the teams do.

When I was in Cleveland, Ohio, if you asked me what I'd be doing in 10 years, I'd probably say, 'I'll own my own Mr. Hero, living in Cleveland, married with three kids.' Now I can say I've literally traveled the world with WWE.

I've got good vibes up here in the Akron area, Cleveland area.
Cleveland, Ohio, is the real deal.
You can feel the same thing in football or soccer - that for the best teams in Spain and England, for instance, the public... they're not really going to cheer at all when they play against bad teams unless they do something spectacular.

My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn't realize that four years ago. I do now.
