WrestleMania quotes

Hey! Last time I was here, we kicked your ass!

That's a good way to make friends there Pete.

You can't win a World Series! My buddy Bucky Dent says hello! You know, I left tickets for Bill Buckner, but he couldn't bend over to pick them up. How 'bout it? They call it "the Curse of the Bambino" right here, the city of losers!

Easy. King, did you prep Pete Rose?

Well, we did have a couple of photos made before the match up. (laughs)

[Kane has just Tombstoned Pete Rose] No! No! That’s Pete Rose! Pete Rose just got Tombstoned! Pete Rose just got Tombstoned, and this crowd in Boston LOVED it!!

[on the match between Undertaker and his brother, Kane] Who will Rest In Peace?

I can still hear the echoes cheering my name.

Time has not silenced the crowd.

I never did a moonsault.

Or walked the top rope.

There were no pyrotechnics.

No fancy flashing lights.

We never flew through the air.

We were men of courage.

Men of steel.

They are men without fear.

I can still hear the echoes cheering my name.

But today...

I cheer for them.

Shawn Michaels is the most honored champion in WWF history. The only man in WWF history to win every major World Wrestling Federation title. He's been the WWF Champion three times. Tag Champ three times. Intercontinental Champion three times. And the European Champ— And listen to this— This chant here in Boston!

...Chanting for Stone Cold!

He's got his work cut out for him! If he could get through Shawn Michaels! If he could get through DX! If he could get through Mike Tyson—

—he deserves to be the champion! I just don't think he could do it!

Nobody has ever, ever outperformed Shawn Michaels in a big match situation. And folks, it don't get no bigger than this. This is what our business is all about. It's about earning the opportunity to wrestle in the main event at a Wrestlemania.

Look at Shawn Michaels, he is so full of himself!

He's got great confidence, and rightfully so.

He got Mike Tyson. Haha!

Well, you're maybe right there.

Austin back up somehow... [Shawn Michaels attempts Sweet Chin Music, but Stone Cold Steve Austin ducks and attempts the Stunner] Oh, Austin dumped him. Austin going for the Stunner, and Michaels counters. [Michaels attempts Sweet Chin Music again but Austin blocks...] Michaels going for another kick. Austin... [...and hits the Stunner] HE GOT IT, THE STUNNER! Mike Tyson in! [Mike Tyson enters the ring and does a fast 3-count] AUSTIN IS THE CHAMPION! STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD!

The winner of this bout, and NEW World Wrestling Federation Champion: Stone Cold Steve Austin!

[over Finkel's announcement] Wait a minute! WHAT? Tyson has double-crossed DX! It's a double-cross!

The Austin Era has begun! Stone Cold's eight-year journey has been culminated with WWF gold!

[after seeing Mike Tyson knock out Shawn Michaels with a right hand] OH A RIGHT HAND! TYSON! TYSON! TYSON! RIGHT HAND! DOWN GOES MICHAELS!

Time. No beginning, no end. An infinite procession that humbles our mortality. But there are moments in life that transcend our fate, memories crafted by gods among men that defy time to forget them. These are the moments that echo through the ages, always heard, never to grow old. Born of will, christened with blood, they are testament to the strong, the mighty, the eminent, deities who defy their own mortality to forge an indelible imprint in the annals of time. Like the mythic gods of ancient Greece, they may thrill us, inspire us, at times makes us angry, but they will never let us forget them. Tonight, is their night, their battle, their moment of ultimate sacrifice. For this is their theater, their altar, their chance for divinity. Welcome to WrestleMania, the showcase of the immortals.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute! No!

What?!

No! Pedigree! Triple H has turned his back on X-Pac! Triple H is putting on Shane!

What?!

Shane McMahon has retained the title! No! What the hell is going on?

I don't know.

The winner of this bout and still World Wrestling Federation European Champion, Shane McMahon!

Tombstone! The Tombstone on the Big Boss Man and the Undertaker is victorious!

Introducing first... from Miami, Florida, weighing 275 pounds, the World Wrestling Federation Champion, The Rock!

What an athlete. The WWF Champion. A 27-year-old prodigy!

I'm telling ya, it's good to be The King, but, it's gotta be great to be The Rock!

The Rock, the number one man in this business! And the reason is over his shoulder: The WWF Title!

And even you got to admit, J.R., it looks so good over the shoulder of The Rock! I mean, he's the true— I mean, he's the epitome of a champion! He's the kind of man you would want representing your organization! Not some beer-swilling, finger-giving idiot like Stone Cold Steve Austin! Admit it, J.R.!

Well, that's your opinion. No doubt The Rock is a gifted athlete. [The Rock climbs above the turnbuckle where he slowly raises the belt] An amazing, amazing specimen! First third-generation star in WWF history.

[The Rock climbs off the ropes, and threatens referee Mike Chioda with an elbow] Uh-oh!

Oh, what a match-up this is gonna be—

His opponent, and challenger...from Victoria, Texas, weighing 252 lbs, Stone Cold Steve Austin!

And the Rattlesnake is ready! [Austin pushes the cameraman away at the ring steps.] This crowd is jacked! And here we are at WrestleMania XV! [As Austin walks by The Rock begins to taunt him] And The Rock already talking trash! Just like he did when he played for the Miami Hurricanes down at—at...at the Orange Bowl! [The Rock obstructs Austin's path while taunting him further.] They talk—they talked a lot of trash! They psyched out a lot of people! [Austin looks to the referee...] But, King, I don't think Austin can be intimidated—

You don't think— [Austin strikes The Rock first as they trade shots]

OH! A RIGHT HAND!

Here they go!

HERE THEY GO! WWF TITLE, ON THE LINE!

Oh, baby!

Let's go boys, time to show WrestleMania some T & A.

We beat the Hardy Boyz. We beat the Dudley Boyz. We accomplished a life long goal, and that was to win these titles. But not without immense pain. And believe me when I say I’d go through it all again tomorrow if we have to, to keep these things.

And I can guarantee that Kirk Angel and Mr Roboto are gonna walk out of this match with bumps and bruises and a t-shirt that reads ‘I visited Anaheim and all I got was this lousy t-shirt and a Y2J beating that I will never eeeeeeeever forget a-gain’.

Anaheim, California, welcome to the Dogg House!

SUCK IT!
