A Quote by Paul Heyman

I've never walked through the curtain with someone I wasn't trying to audition as a WrestleMania main-eventer, and I never want to. — © Paul Heyman
I've never walked through the curtain with someone I wasn't trying to audition as a WrestleMania main-eventer, and I never want to.
If I had to explain what WrestleMania was to someone who's never seen wrestling, never seen WWE, never heard of the concept of WrestleMania, I would show them a five second video clip of The Rock and Hulk Hogan standing motionless in the ring while 70,000 people are jumping up and down.
I want to become a main player, a main-eventer, a headliner - whatever. I have all that's needed to do that.
My favorite WrestleMania moment would actually be the first WrestleMania I ever went to, and that was at WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans. I've been a fan forever but have never been able to go to an actual WrestleMania until I started working with the company.
I've main-evented WrestleMania a handful of times, but it never gets old. It's the same with nerves.
It's the same challenge as with any other character, adults or not. You want to take time with the kids. You want to tell them in the audition that they have time to exchange ideas. I'm there. It's not someone else who does the audition, but I don't want to audition a thousand children.
One of the reasons to come to the WWE was to wrestle at 'WrestleMania,' but to main-event 'WrestleMania?' Wow! I live for this.
The only reason you're undefeated at WrestleMania is because you've never faced me at WrestleMania.
I came to WWE to be on 'WrestleMania' and to be in a 'WrestleMania' main event.
I was about to walk into TakeOver: New York, WrestleMania weekend, and that was my WrestleMania moment. It wasn't just about winning a title. It was about being the face of this brand, walking out from that curtain - that meant the world to me.
I want to be one of the longest reigning champions, and for our women as a whole, even if I'm not in the match, I want us to have a Main Event at WrestleMania.
I had read the Animal House script, and by hook and crook, I finally got an audition. It was a great one. John Landis followed me out into the hallway afterward and said, "I've never done this before, but you've got the job. Now don't tell anyone!" I've never had a director do that. It was one of those Hollywood-dream-come-true stories. They saw me as a surfer or cowboy, not a preppie, but someone begged and borrowed me an audition, and I went in and got it.
There was one female role, which was Emily. When I did the audition, I flubbed up. It was my first audition back from Christmas break, and I flubbed up and was devastated. In the audition room, they were like, "Oh, you did great!," but you never really know. So, I left the audition in tears.
I went to the audition for a laugh and got the part for the way I walked down the corridor. There's no justice is there? [on getting a role from an audition
I'm the champ that puns the camp! That's what I always wanted. I wanted to be seen as a main eventer, and it's a lot of responsibility now. I feel like I'm gonna deliver on this opportunity. I want to take it and make sure everybody knows that this is why I'm the champ.
The biggest misconception about me is that people seem to think that I want it all and that I had it all, and I walked away from having it all. That was never part of it. I never wanted it all.
I want to make 'Smackdown' the brand to watch, but beyond that main-eventing, 'WrestleMania' is the next step.
