>"I’ve got to tell you, man, from the time I first got into the company, you, from my very first match in Survivor Series at The Garden. You were so good to me, so welcoming to me then, but also I knew of everybody in the locker room, that there was a hunger in your eyes.
>“You know, I always talk about the matches that I’ve had with Stone Cold, that you’ve had with Stone Cold, and that you’ve had with Mick Foley, and I’ve had with Mick Foley, The Undertaker… you name it. But there’s only one man who I’ve gone around this world with and wrestled consistently so many times, and put in just incredible matches with, and that’s you. And I thank you.
>“I love you, congratulations, man, on just such an amazing career, not only in the ring, but what you’ve done outside of the ring, too, has been unparalleled. Like me it’s as if you were born into the business, and in some other lifetime you were. This is why we’re kindred spirits. So congratulations on such an amazing career.
>“Thank you for being a friend, thank you for being a brother. Again, I love you, man. Amazing, amazing. Love you brother.”
