Quoted By:
"Y'know what's funny is Michael Cole, it might've been Corey, they had this discussion "have you ever seen anyone get over so quickly in their career as Austin Theory?" And I'm thinking, "you mean like a thousand people?" And Cole said "Only Randy Orton." And I'm like, "Brock Lesnar wasn't world champion in an instant? Kurt angle wasn't a superstar on day one? and could go? The Rock? But this guy, who's been years in independents, and then in developmental, and he's still AVERAGE?
"This guy is the epitome of an average wrestler, but he's got a good body, and he's kinda tall, and they like him and they see something in him. But he's in the ring with Rey Mysterio, and I've seen Rey get good matches out of people were INCOMPENTENT, and this match was just a little better than average.
"When you're on the big stage with Rey Mysterio, it's your time to shine, and he did not shine."
