“John Cena, while you lay there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possible can be, I want you to listen to me. I want you to digest this, because before I leave in 3 weeks, with your WWE championship, I have allot of things I want to get of my chest. “
“I don’t hate you John, I don’t even dislike you. I do like you, I like you a hell of allot more then I like most people in the back. I hate this idea that you’re the best, because you’re not. I’m the best. I’m the best in the world. There’s one thing you’re better at then I am, and that’s kissing Vince McMahon’s ass. You’re as good at kissing Vince’s ass as Hulk Hogan was, I’m not sure if your as good as Dwayne though, he’s a pretty good ass kisser. Always was and still is. Oops I’m breaking the 4th wall.”
“I am the best wrestler in the world. I’ve been the best ever since day 1 when I walked into this company, and I’ve been hated and vilified since that day because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. That’s right, I’m a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy, Brock Lesner, and he split, just like I’m splitting, but the biggest difference between me and Brock is I’m going to be leaving with the WWE championship.”
“I’ve grabbed so many of Vincent K. McMahon’s imaginary brass rings that it’s finally dawned on my that they’re just that, their completely ‘imaginary’. The only thing that is real is me, and the fact that day in and day out for almost 6 year I have proved to everybody in the world that I am the best! On this microphone, in that ring, even at commentary, nobody can touch me!”
“And yet no matter how many times I prove it… I’m not on your lovely little collector cups, I’m not on the cover of the program, I’m barely promoted. I don’t get to be in movies, I’m certainly not on some crappy show on the USA Network. I’m not on the poster for WrestleMania, I’m not in signature that’s produced at the start of the show.”
“I’m not on Conan O’Brian, I’m not on Jimmy Fallon, but the fact of the matter is I should be, and trust me this isn’t sour grapes, but the fact that Dwayne is in the main event of WrestleMania next year and I’m not makes me sick.”
“Oh, hey, let me get something straight. Those of you who are cheering me right now are just as big a part of me leaving as anything else, because you’re the ones that are sipping out of those collector cups right now. You’re the ones who buy those programs that my face isn’t on the cover of, and then at the airport at 5 in the morning you try to shove it in my face so you can get an autograph and try to sell it on E-bay because you’re to lazy to get a real job.”
“I’m leaving with the WWE championship on July 17, and hell, who knows, maybe I might go defend it in New Japan Pro Wrestling. MAYBE, I’ll go back to Ring of Honour hey Colt Cabaña how you doing. The reason I’m leaving is you people, because after I’m gone you’re still going to pour money into this company. I’m just a spoke on the wheel, and that wheel is going to keep turning, and I understand that. Vince McMahon is going to make money in spite of himself. He’s a millionaire who should be a billionaire, and you know why he’s not a billionaire? It’s because he surrounds himself with glad handing, nonsensical, douche-bag, yes men, like John Laurinaitis, who’s going to tell him everything he wants to hear. And I’d like to think that maybe this company will be better after Vince McMahon is dead, but the fact is that it’s going to be taken over by his idiotic daughter and dofus son-in-law, and the rest of his stupid family.”
“Let me tell you a personal story about Vince McMahon alright. Can we do this whole bully campaign…”
