Michael Cole quotes from WrestleMania

He is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Cowboy Bob Orton. Eighteen months ago, Randy Orton formed Legacy — second and third-generation stars which had a winning pedigree, and win they did, including WWE Title reigns for Randy Orton. But, King, it's only natural as confidence grew for DiBiase and Rhodes that they would want to fly away from the nest, as they are doing here tonight.

Why is that only natural? Why not keep a cohesive successful unit together? I don't agree with what Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase have done.

The WWE is about individual achievement, it's about leaving a legacy. The difference with Randy Orton is that this is his destiny and not his legacy.

You guys see, does this remind you of anything?

It reminds me of what Randy Orton does to his opponents.

Yeah, these guys are using what they learned from Randy Orton against him now.

As every good student should.

Every good student should turn against their mentor?

No, every good student should use what they learned.

Over 70,000 weak-minded individuals who think, because they're so hopped up on hallucinogenic drugs, that Rey Mysterio is a superhero. Over 70,000 people that think if they pop a pill or if they take a drink, that somehow their problems will go away, just like they think their superhero, Rey Mysterio will make the monster go away. Except I am not a monster, I am a savior, and I can save Rey Mysterio! I can lead you all to a better place, and I will lead you all by example because I choose to be drug-free! I choose to be better than each and every single one of you! Tonight, Rey Mysterio does not have a choice. I will beat him, he will join my Straight Edge Society, and in doing so, 70,000 people just like you will choose me as their savior, and the Straight Edge Society will live on, one nation under Punk, indivisible, with integrity and sobriety for all.

That's scary. That's scary.

I take it you're rooting for Rey.

I don't wanna be in this guy's cult.

You see two members of the Straight Edge Society, there are countless others across the nation. Live events, wherever we go, people come to be saved by CM Punk.

What would that do to Rey Mysterio? What would that do to Rey Mysterio's family?

I don't know, but the names Jim Jones and Charles Manson come to mind.

This is the same Hart family we saw earlier at WrestleMania after honoring their father Stu Hart, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Has Vince bought the Hart family?!

This is disgusting!

I just can't help but think back, last we heard from Vince McMahon last week on Raw when he...his final chilling words, he said, "Bret, no matter what, at WrestleMania, you're screwed." Did he already know?

Will Mr. McMahon stop at nothing to humiliate this man? Ladies and gentlemen, Bret Hart was one of Mr. McMahon's most important and lucrative superstars. In late 1997, Bret's contract was coming to an end, they couldn't reach an agreement, Bret headed out of the company. What does Mr. McMahon do on one of his last nights here? He screws Bret Hart out of the Championship in Montreal, one of the most controversial events of all time!

Guys, I gotta tell you – this is genius. I love this.

No, this is not genius.

Yeah, there's Bruce Hart.

It's evil genius is what it is, Matt.

Smith Hart, Stu's firstborn son.

In many ways, this is pathetic.

Why?

Because it's pathetic. Because Mr. McMahon cannot let bygones be bygones. For thirteen years this has been going on! Bret Hart came back here to bury the hatchet; he did so with Shawn Michaels, and now this.

You've all agreed to this? Bruce, you've agreed to this? There's not much I can do about it. What's done is done. There's one thing I know about the Hart family – you all got paid up front, didn't you? Got your money, cashed your checks, put it in the bank? [Everyone nods] Well, there's one thing I learned from the Montreal Screwjob: that's that there's nothing sweeter than a good double-cross. See, the thing here, Vince, is the Hart family – we're stronger than ever and we're united as one tonight. They told me what you were trying to do and we all agreed ahead of time. We all know about your little tricks, but tonight, this your greatest creation of them all, WrestleMania, it's gonna be forever remembered as the night that Bret screwed Vince!

Wait a minute. Oh! The Hart family's on the take!

This is the chairman and CEO of a publicly traded company being treated like this.

Yeah, but how about how he treated Bret Hart? How about that, Matt? Besides, Mr. McMahon signed up for this. Mr. McMahon agreed to this match-up.

Not under these conditions.

He tried to buy the Hart family off, they just turned the tables on him. Mr. McMahon would've done the same thing.

Before that, Matt, Mr. McMahon put Bret up to being in this match when he thought Bret had a broken leg.

If I've learned one thing from Mr. McMahon, it's that you never do bad business, and this is bad business by the Harts.

[to Kelly Kelly] EXCUSE ME!!!! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!

I don't think Kelly Kelly cares.

[after Shawn Michaels mocks the Undertaker's signal for the Tombstone Piledriver, he slaps him] Well, if Shawn Michaels is going out, he's going out as defiant as ever.

[in his anger, the Undertaker picks up Michaels and turns him upside down] That look of disbelief on the face of the Undertaker has turned into a look of rage! [Undertaker hits the Tombstone] ACK!

TOMBSTONE! TOMBSTONE! [Undertaker folds Michaels's arms and covers him] Here's the cover! [Charles Robinson counts three] The Undertaker is 18-0! Shawn Michaels's career is over.

The winner of this match: The Undertaker!

Look at this man, CM Punk. He is a charismatic figure. The people follow him, and he has one thing to get him through, and that thing is faith.

He's got about as many followers as you've got Cole Miners.

Can I have your attention please? Can I have your attention please? There he is, "Good ol' JR", Jim Ross, the man with the second-biggest ego in sports-entertainment. Hey, JR, I like how you're waddling your way down to the ring. Glad you're staying in shape since I took your job. You know who the man is with the biggest ego in the entire world? None other than my opponent tonight, Jerry Lawler. You know, Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross have a lot in common — they're both overweight,...

What?!

[cont'd] They're both overrated,...

What?!

and they're both over the hill! You know, I've been thinking a lot over the past 24 hours about...about this match here tonight, and what I've been thinking about is Jerry Lawler has been in this business about as long as I've been alive, yet tonight is Jerry Lawler's first WrestleMania. And guess what, all you Cole Miners — this is Michael Cole's first WrestleMania. So, ladies and gentlemen, when tonight is over, and this main event is concluded, JR, you're gonna go back to making really bad barbecue sauce; Jerry Lawler, you're gonna be embarrassed and humiliated; and Stone Cold Steve Austin's gonna raise my hand in victory; and then all of you, all over the world, you are gonna proclaim me the new Mr. WrestleMania!

[referring to Triple H] The Game makes his way up!

Ohhhh no!

He slips off the back—

BOOM!

SWEET CHIN MUSIC! SWEET CHIN MUSIC!

[overlapping] LOOK AT THIS! LOOK AT THIS!

SWEET CHIN MUSIC—!

[overlapping] PEDIGREE!

[overlapping] PEDIGREE! A PEDIGREE!

STREAK'S OVER! STREAK'S OVER!

ANOTHER COUNT! HE GOT IT—!

OH—!

OH, HE HAVEN'T GOT IT! IT'S NOT OVER! IT'S NOT OVER! THE STREAK LIVES! AND MICHAELS— OH, HE'S—

Shawn Michaels have been calling this matchup down the middle! He was gonna ring the bell and take Taker out of it! And then he was put in the Hell's Gate!

Michaels had put into a very tough position for Mr. WrestleMania to be in!

His emotions overwhelming him!

Here's this kick, right there! Bam! Downtown! A slobberknocker! The Sweet Chin Music! And then The Pedrigree!

And somehow, amazingly, The Undertaker still lives— look at this!

The Undertaker will not die! On April 1st, 2012, he will not die!

I tell you, in four decades of sitting at ringside, I can honestly say I have never ever witnessed anything like what we have just seen.

The Undertaker is 20-0 at WrestleMania!

[as the Undertaker tries to get up] Look at the Undertaker's back; he's just fighting to get back up. The era has ended, we will never see it again, and what a way to go.

Well, statistics are on the side of Team Hell No in this match tonight. 53% of defending champions are successful in WrestleMania. And Daniel Bryan will start things off against Dolph Ziggler with the Tag Team Championship up for grabs here tonight at WrestleMania.

Would you bet on that, if you had a 53-47 chance.

Not at all.

Can you say 21-0?!

MetLife just exploded!

The winner of this match: The Undertaker!

Year after year after year, opponent after opponent after opponent, the will and the perseverance for the most incredible performer in WrestleMania history! The Undertaker is now 21-0 at WrestleMania!

It's the holy grail of winning streaks, Michael! The greatest streak alive!

WrestleMania has just turned into YES!leMania!

The YES! Movement has beaten the Authority!

History has already been made at WrestleMania! I cannot believe what I have just witnessed. This garden creature just beat the Game.

Kofi Kingston [by Cesaro] ...lobbed over the top rope and he's out. [The referees notice that Kofi's feet are still on the steps] Wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa!

You gotta be kidding me!

His feet didn't hit the floor.

Kofi's feet did not hit the floor. [Kofi scoots onto the steps and re-enters the ring] That is incredible! That is incredible!

I love this young guy!
