TV show quotes
The Miz does not even realize that he's won.
It doesn't matter, he's still the WWE Champion. He's retained the WWE Championship.
The Miz, fat lip and all, is asking the referee what happened. You gonna tell me, Cole, the Miz is gonna be a proud WWE Champion after that?
He should be proud—he's still the WWE Champ.
What's interesting about Daniel Bryan is that he spent twelve years honing his craft, toiling in the minor leagues; imagine what it would mean for Daniel Bryan to go to WrestleMania.
Minor leagues???
Yeah, before he came to the WWE, everything's the minor leagues.
Well, for CM Punk, he's in the big time now. CM Punk, the three-time World Champion and about to go to school on this dork Daniel Bryan.
Yeah, if what you is right, then CM Punk was in the minor leagues.
Yeah, this is...a lot of the Internet loves this match-up right now.
The Internet loves this, the Internet loves that. Who cares about the stupid Internet?!
[Alternating chants]
DANIEL BRYAN!
CM PUNK!
From Merrick, Long Island; cocky and brash, even "The Situation" finds this guy annoying—Zack Ryder.
[On the Nexus working together and standing alone in the ring]
Say what you want, this is not what the Royal Rumble is about.
Why not?!
The Royal Rumble is supposed to be about every man for himself.
King, you would do this.
No I would not.
You would do this.
Yeah, if I could find four or five suckers that would play along with it, I might.
Just call up Mid-South.
Jerry [clearly unamused]: Not funny.
[The buzzer sounds for #32. The sound of an engine turning over causes the crowd to roar and the action to stop.]
Holy sh...!
[A big truck horn sounds, perfectly timed to censor Striker]
You've gotta be kidding me! Big Daddy Cool Diesel!
WHAT?!
Diesel's back! Diesel's here! 6'11", 311 pounds, from Detroit, Michigan!
This is what it's all about! You never know who's gonna show up!
The former WWE Champion...
Look at the faces!
Look at your face.
King, who will ever forget in 1994 when Diesel entered the Rumble match and eliminated seven men! Nearly seven feet tall! Diesel's back!
[unaware Riley was eliminated] Notice Alex Riley. Alex Riley is being very smart right now.
Where is he?
You win the Royal Rumble, you headline WrestleMania. You have a choice—which championship do you go after? Which match do you want to be in?
You gotta win the Royal Rumble match first. One of these men looking to live their dreams...[Randy Orton eliminates Wade Barrett] Wade Barrett eliminated...
[Alberto Del Rio gets Randy over the top rope...]
Yes, do it! Do it!
[...and out to the floor, seemingly winning the Rumble]
YEAH!
Del Rio! Del Rio! Del Rio! Del Rio does it!
Vaya con dios, Alberto Del Rio!
Cabas y caballeros, su ganador de Royal Rumble eras ALBERTOOO DEL RIIIOOO! (Ladies and gentlemen, your winner of the Royal Rumble is Alberto Del Rio!)
Alberto Del Rio is going to WrestleMania!
I can't believe it. I can assure you I would've never made this...[Mike Chioda talks with Alberto in the ring after Santino re-enters] whoa, wait a minute.
Folks, remember, King, remember what you said earlier. Remember what you said earlier. Santino was never eliminated, remember? He never went over the top rope! He went underneath the bottom rope!
Santino's still in this... [Alberto turns around and walks into Santino's Cobra]
The Cobra! The Cobra! Oh my God! Oh my God! The biggest upset in Rumble history! This is gonna be the biggest upset in Rumble history!
Throw him out, Santino! Throw him out!
Santino is gonna go to WrestleMania! Oh my God, you gotta be kidding me!
No, this is great!
You gotta be kidding me!
[Santino runs Alberto to the ropes, but Alberto reverse the run and sends Santino flying out of the ring, finally winning the Rumble]
Del Rio!
One more time! Alberto Del Rio is on his way to the main event at WrestleMania!
[In the ring, Rodriguez is singing Del Rio's praises in Spanish]
Viva Del Rio! Viva Del Rio!
Can I press 1 for English?
The thing is, Kane says Cena and, in turn, the WWE Universe not embracing hate is a cowardly act. And that's the words of Kane. They live lives filled with delusions, they all wanna cheer for John Cena or at least be a part of his life, or they wanna boo him. They want to live vicariously through Cena. That is a cowardly way out, in Kane's estimation.
Well, if you're gonna try to make sense out of anything that Kane thinks, good luck.
[after John Laurinaitis ejects Vickie Guerrero from ringside] Remember, CM Punk defeated Jack Swagger a couple of weeks ago. With that victory, it ensured that Swagger and Guerrero would not be at ringside for this match-up. Great move by Laurinaitis.
I just think he's sucking up.
Here we go, Punk roll-up, shoulders down, and a kick-out. Sucking up? He followed the rules, Booker. I mean, give the man some credit for once in your life. What, did you have an issue back in the day of WCW with Johnny? That's why you're all upset with this man? Because he was a better worker than you? Because he was a better wrestler than you?
[clearly in disbelief] What? You gotta be kidding me.
I mean, come on now. John Laurinaitis is...he's awesome!
You're talking about a guy who has done nothing in this business, right?
Who, John? He was a world champion in Japan. That's what he was.
In Japan.da
Yes.
In the world of Japan.
Yeah, the world of Japan.
John Laurinaitis right now... I know you say he's got a lot of things on his plate, a lot of things to take care and be concerned with, but he's got his phone out, he's texting out here.
He just texted me to tell me what a wonderful job I'm doing tonight and how glad he is to have me calling the Rumble.
[on Vickie Guerrero] She's quite enamored with Dolph Ziggler. Unfortunately, he's already found the love of his life; too bad he can't marry himself.
[to Laurinaitis] Next GTS is for you, Clownshoes!
Every Superstar backstage has been snickering at me all day. They think I'm actually bothered by the fact that I'm the #1 entry in the Royal Rumble match. They think it scares me. They think I'm intimidated by it. They think I don... they don't think I will make it to the end. But those are the same people, the same Superstars that told me I would never main-event WrestleMania, that I would never be in the main event, that I would never be in this ring a WWE Champion! Every time they have denied me, I have went above and beyond and proved them wrong, and tonight will be no different. I may be the first one out here, but I will be the last man standing, and I will go on to headline WrestleMania XXVIII because I'm the Miz, and I'm...awesome!
[Buzzer sounds for entry #8. Alberto Del Rio's music plays]
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
What the hell?
Alberto Del Rio's back! Alberto Del Rio, last year's Royal Rumble match winner, is back! [Car horn honks] Oh, this is gonna be awesome!
[The car producing the horn drives out.]
What is that?!
What the hell? We got an old 280 Datsun? 280ZX?
Hey, that's not Alberto Del Rio! Look!
Worth about $600.
[as the driver reveals himself to be...] Is that... is that Ricardo?!
I don't know, but his back window is a Hefty bag.
It's Del Rio's personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez.
And that's his car?!
Well, yeah, you know, he's...never been champion.
Wow, a vintage 1985 Datsun 280Z.
