"I told McMahon this: 'You want me in there? You really do, huh? Show me the respect you showed the non-wrestling people.' The Mike Tysons, the Pete Rose, and these other ball players that he used and show biz people. Show me the kind of respect you showed those people and I’ll consider it."

Triple H was the host to introduce him and he really proved, no matter how old you get if you dedicate yourself to any field selflessly fans will remember.
