A scene from “August 25”

Now the fact of the matter is not only do I put myself in a suicide situation by trying to wrestle again, I endanger these two men's careers [referring to Chris Benoit and Curt Hennig] and I respect them too much for that. And rather than being anything other than the Enforcer in my best friend's eyes, I'd rather walk away. And for all of you people out there that have ever bought a ticket to see Arn Anderson wrestle, [crowd cheers] whether ya' love me or you hated me, you know that when that bell rang you got all I had that night. Whether I won, whether I lost, I gave you everything I had. And you knew that. And when you did this to me [makes four finger salute] that was your acknowledgement.
