I always believe that it’s beautiful to win important matches, but it’s also very important simply to reach those moments. I truly believe that.
The secret of having a successful promotion is having an awesome promotion with wrestling matches that people like.
Wrestling is different from other sports. It is not just about physical strength. It is more of a mind game as during matches we have to read the mind of opponents and outwit them.
It is only natural that the years pass, and after consecutive matches, you feel more and more tired, but it is normal.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a pro wrestler. Other kids wanted to be cops and astronauts, but I wanted to be Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage, Brutus ‘The Barber’ Beefcake, and Jake ‘The Snake.’ I wanted to be those guys! I used to tape matches on my trampoline and body-slam my brother.
There is always pressure in all matches in the World Cup. This is when you must go beyond your capacity as a competitor.
I had a really great career. I have won over 300 matches, won a bunch of tournaments, almost won a bunch of big tournaments, beaten a lot of good players and done more things than I ever could have imagined.
I will miss Messi so much. He’s a great teammate, a great guy. We’ve lived a lot of things together, a lot of matches, a lot of goals. He knows me well.
The buzz we had in 2000-01 was unique. We played 34 matches between January 1 and May 19, but lost only four.
If you look at Mohali, Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, they host T20 games, IPL all in a year. That’s the reason the crowd stays away from the Tests matches.
Every now and then there might be a beat someone turned down that I have as an unused beat. But everything that predominantly matches the artist in my 30 years of doing this, it was me walking in and sitting there with no drums, no samples, no nothing, and making a beat on the spot.
Emma gave me some of my favorite matches – the NXT Women’s Tournament and then NXT ArRIVAL.
Even with not having that many matches under my belt, I handled the match against Svitolina well. When I was younger, not having that many matches under my belt, I might not have done that.
You have to be extremely fit. It is a professional sport. We have five shows a week. In 2014, I had 220 matches; in 2015, I was on the way to a similar amount before I got hurt. It is a full-time lifestyle. It is very demanding.
I come out before the matches because it’s important the fans see I am in a good mood. When I get to the club, my mood is always lifted. You can be in a terrible mood, but once you are at Fulham, you are happy.
A lot of my intensity in wrestling was due to my mental preparation before the matches. I got myself into a different world.
For the last decade, the last 50 years, Barcelona dominate football matches. I love the way they play.
Arsenal have won that advantage, nobody gave it to them. By playing fantastic football and by winning matches and by winning trophies, they won that respect that the opponent has for them.
I had to find a way of dealing with not starting matches, but when you don’t play and you’re surrounded by players who do, the negativity comes.
If you win one or two matches at home on good wickets, on grassy wickets, you’ll develop confidence automatically.
When you’re No. 8 in the world, then you start losing some matches, I think it was the first time in my career my confidence went down, and from there it was a downward spiral.
I always watch my matches back 100 times afterwards because that’s how I improve. This is something I’ve always done, even in NXT.
I don’t always have to play my absolute best to win matches.
I mean, I’m twenty years in the business, I still watch tapes. I still watch matches on Youtube. I’m trying to learn. I watch my old stuff to see what I used to do that worked, that didn’t work. You never stop learning.
I find it very difficult when, due to a lack of confidence, I don’t produce and lose matches I could have won.
How good would guys like John Cena, Randy Orton or Batista have been if they would have had 900 matches in their first three years?
One must just keep having good seasons with many great matches, whether one is with the club or the French national side. For me, this must be a player’s goal in his head, even if it’s an individual trophy, and the first thought must be on the collective.
I was getting up in the morning and betting on Lithuanian under-20 basketball matches.
I’ve played such good golf, and it was hard coming up and it wasn’t easy in any matches or any shots. It means a lot. I think hopefully it will mean a lot to New Zealand because I’m the next winner of the U.S. Amateur after Danny Lee.
When you don’t play, you really feel the difference of what matches give you. The match-sharpness, the fitness. It’s what you need to progress.
I have thrown chairs, but only during football matches. Generally, I am well-behaved. I do not like to make people angry.
I hate all of my own matches. I hate all of my own work. I am my worst critic.
Nothing matches the sheer euphoria of discovering a new melody or a new batch of chords that just come out of nowhere.
It is important to have down time between training and matches.
I know where I’m ranked, but I don’t look at it that much, I don’t study it that much. You really can’t look at it that way, you’ve got to try to win as many matches as you can, and it’s cliche, but you’ve got to take it one at a time.
You can’t just give up because you lose one game. India has always had the problem that when faced with the crunch matches, the team does not necessarily step up.
This is what footballers are used to. You’re used to playing matches throughout the Christmas period so for us it doesn’t feel weird. We’re working on Christmas Day and we’ve always done it.
For a long time, it was hard for me to get my work done in Chicago. Silk Road gave me opportunities to do shows like ‘Golden Child’ – shows that nobody else seemed interested in. And they bring an artistic integrity to the work that matches anything you’ll find at a bigger theatre.
Music is a part of my life all the time – on the plane, before matches, driving out to the court.
In 1983, I played in a new tournament called the Professional Snooker League. I won eight of my 11 matches, beating Alex Higgins, Jimmy White and Dennis Taylor, among others.
The idea that vaccines are a primary cause of autism is not as crackpot as some might wish. Autism’s 60-fold rise in 30 years matches a tripling of the U.S. vaccine schedule.
Great matches are necessary, and everybody loves to watch a great match.
WrestleMania was one of my greatest matches in my career.
This year I guess I decided in the bigger matches to take it more to my opponent instead of waiting a bit more for the mistakes. Yeah, this is I guess how you want to win Wimbledon, is by going after your shots, believing you can do it, and that’s what I was able to do today.
It’s things that you find difficult as a bowler in matches that you have to practise more. Some people don’t, they just think line and length and forget about other things.
Towards the end of the careers, senior cricketers may play only Tests. This means they’ll be available for Ranji matches.
‘Ring of Honor’ is extreme… probably one of my favorite matches I ever saw. I don’t remember the name of the guys, but it was unbelievable… it was almost like Stone Cold and Bret Hart when they had their ‘I Quit’ match.
Of course I want to be champion because that means you’re the best, but I just love wrestling, and if I can have good matches week in and week out, that would make me happy.
I was a tiger, a good fighter, in good shape, but I was always nervous before boxing matches.
Tyler Breeze! He is so amazing. He taught me so much about psychology when I was in NXT; he helped me so much with my matches with Eva Marie or Asuka.
I’ve played so many matches in my career so far where I played unbelievable, came up just short.
For me, I am not a fan of any of my own matches, and it’s both a blessing and a curse. Because I’m never satisfied, I’m always looking to improve in every area.
Ideally, you want to play games, and you don’t want to train every day without the matches.
At Madrid, I was only used for important matches.
New Japan is far superior to WWE when it comes to the quality of the roster and the quality of the matches.
I loved reminiscing with my dad about his matches with the Bulldogs and his partnership with my uncle Bret Hart as the Hart Foundation.
If The Dream is worried about other people’s matches, how can he be a man of his word?
You learn that in so many of our matches, it can all depend on just four or five points.
My first trip as a captain against Pakistan in 2003 – we had never won there before, but then we won both the Test Matches and One-Days.
What everyone wants to see are exciting football matches where fans get behind the team that they support.
Champions League matches are not always played on good pitches.
I look at the England job. It’s not always about being the greatest coach. You’ve got less than a week before most matches. So do the players need actual coaching, or do they need to be set up in a team structure that works, and then pointed in the right direction? Create spirit, take away the fear.
