I feel like I have some stuff that matches ‘Fight Song,’ not in necessarily the message exactly but in the emotion and honesty.
I have a bunch of storylines that I could pass to other performers or especially all my knowledge that I have when it comes to building matches, to creating an exciting finish or telling stories in the ring.
WWE, of course, has had some fantastic two out of three falls matches.
People are always asking me where they can get some of my matches on tapes and DVDs. The people always tell me they see me on Youtube or whatever.
What made my matches against Borg and Connors interesting was, comparing it to boxing, it was like a puncher and a counter-puncher.
I didn’t feel that I was ready to leave NXT. When I was called up to SmackDown, I was very nervous. I hadn’t done many of the things at NXT that I thought I was supposed to. I didn’t have a TakeOver match. I never held the title. I only had a few matches on NXT TV and to be called up and told, ‘Well, here you go!’
There are a lot of guys in those SmackDown and Raw locker rooms that, given the opportunity, I’d love to have matches with, tell stories with, and do stuff with.
I want to play 100 Test matches for England.
I had many boxing matches with my brother in the backyard when we were younger, and I guess while other people abhor boxing for its brutality, I also have to admire anyone who climbs into the ring to face up to what could be the ultimate defeat.
If you know a lot about something and apply that information to a vote that matches your policy preferences, your opinion quality is high.
When you start to add paraphernalia into a match whether it’s a ladder match or a tables match or anything, any of these outside factors, you start to ramp up the intensity and you ramp up the difficulty in these matches.
I always do my utmost both in training and during matches.
My psychologist told me I have to control my emotions and be more positive. She’s taught me to stop the negative thoughts during the matches with some exercises. That’s helped me make an improvement.
Do you want to talk about matches that matter? Randy Orton can go out there, John Cena can go out there, AJ Styles can go out there and put together matches that matter and not have to do silly dives because they don’t know how to work.
I realise that sometimes things go well and sometimes they don’t. But it is very important for me I feel personally, even selfishly, the need to be playing football matches.
In France, sometimes, you have some players or coaches say, ‘If we go there, and we come back with one point, it’s okay.’ Here? No chance of this! Everybody wants to win. I think every team is playing to win matches, so the game is hard and fast, intensive. I really like the Bundesliga for that.
Oh my gosh, I was so nervous at Wrestlemania when I debuted. I never had a live match ever. I’d had practice matches, but a practice match in front of no one is very different from a real match.
In domestic cricket – whether it is Ranji Trophy or other first class matches – in the first year, not many opponents will know about your game, but by the time you are into the third or fourth year, the opponents would have found out your strengths and weaknesses, and they will work on it.
If you’re playing someone you care about, it’s tough, and I don’t want to be in that situation. We are playing big matches for big points and prize money, and I take it very seriously. I relax when I’m outside tennis.
I’m just looking for matches that make sense.
For the fans to be able to enjoy a lucha libre match between Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio, I think, I don’t want to be flattering myself, but that’s probably some of the best lucha libre matches that I had throughout my career, and we were able to demonstrate it to the fans around the world.
In high school we’d grapple on my friend’s trampoline for hours. Sometimes we’d have a party at a house. We’d take challenge matches and throw down with different people. By we, I mean me. My friends usually just watched until the other guy’s friends jumped in.
The first run or match with The Shield always stands out to me – our matches, our wars.
I think it’s just a matter of matches and then confidence will come with matches.
If you’re going to play in all three formats, you can’t play all the games. You probably play two Test matches, miss the last one and take some time off and maybe come back for the second ODI or second T20.
People want to see John Cena – they want to see all these guys – but I want people to buy tickets because they want to see the girls and they’re looking forward to the Divas matches.
I loved Japanese culture before even realizing it was, in fact, Japanese culture. The cartoons and anime I was watching as a child, my favorite video games, and even in pro wrestling – my favorite wrestlers and matches originated in Japan.
Growing up watching the Premier League, the person with the most presence was Gilberto Silva. He was everywhere in Brazil. His matches were always televised. He was the main figure I was following in the Premier League.
People think you get tired quickly when you are a diabetic. But I have taken about 190 wickets in One Day International matches after I was diagnosed for diabetes, and lots even in Test cricket, and never got tired.
I’ve always been vocal in my matches, and I’ve always made a lot of noises, a lot of random noises.
I thought a director was like a pillow who sat under the writer, supporting them and submitting to their vision. It took me a long time to realise that what a writer really wants is a production that matches the play and the writing. It is the only way the play can achieve its full potential.
My game matches with Velasquez’s. I won’t be afraid to kick or punch him to avoid the takedowns because the ground game is my best weapon.
I watched so many matches of Jarnail Singh, P.K. Banerjee, Chuni Goswami and Peter Thangaraj.
I loved every minute of my 17-year career, all the Test matches, the ODIs and the World Cups. The only disappointment, if you ask me, was I never won a World Cup for West Indies.
If a player fails to perform in four or five consecutive matches, he should be dropped irrespective of whether he is a senior or a junior player.
It’s surreal to think that no one has played as many Test matches for England. I suppose it’s a credit to my longevity.
Jamie Vardy and myself, we have fun during matches.
Any big televised event that starts at the crack of dawn is worth getting up for. I’ve done it all my life: big boxing matches, royal weddings, even TV-A.M.’s inaugural episode was enjoyed in pyjamas in my house.
To win a Grand Slam, you have to win seven matches in a row, and it’s very different physically and mentally from other tournaments.
It has been a difficult journey for me, which started where I used to live: in Virar. All credit to my dad, as he was the only one who took me everywhere. He used to take me to matches and practices, and they were all far away from my home in Virar.
There were players I shared a dressing room with who didn’t like each other. You don’t have to talk to each other. You just need to win matches.
It is pretty daunting – the Cell has been responsible for some amazing matches, but it can also lead to some pretty real injuries, so that plays into your mind.
It’s not easy to focus in practice when you don’t have any matches coming up.
All I want is to win matches, and the ranking sooner or later will come.
Matches aren’t won on the training field and there is no point flogging experienced campaigners unnecessarily.
First-round matches are always tough.
Whatever games came my way, I tried to give my best, do whatever I could to win matches for the team, be it at the Ranji Trophy level, India A, IPL: this was always on my mind.
I tried the swimming team, but nobody came to the matches. But they did show up for the plays.
I think the fact that Brock Lesnar is not on the road 52 weeks a year, is not on ‘Monday Night Raw’ every episode, is not performing 300 matches per year… I think that dictates to the public, ‘Brock Lesnar is special.’ That an appearance by Brock Lesnar in an of itself is newsworthy. It’s not commonplace.
We’ve got to get the public back into watching Test matches – speeding up the game with innovation is one way forward.
You eventually have to figure out how to balance the books. So that’s the reason I gave up my day job to come do this was to go fight to create the space where spending matches America’s capacity to tax, and that means economic growth and a smaller, humbler federal government.
Football officiating is so subjective – much more subjective than any other sport. But the more I watch – and I watch too many matches – the more impressed I am with referees.
A utility can handle up to 20% of production from solar and that helps the grid because it produces electricity when needed. Solar power peaks in the middle of the day and that’s also when air conditioning is running and businesses are operating, so power production matches usage.
I don’t want people to think that this is just going to be great matches, there is going to be a lot of great matches. But it is also going to be some of the most entertaining guys in pro wrestling and these guys are going to be unleashed.
