It always feels good when you hear another guy in your industry give you praise.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
In mixed martial arts, if you get kicked in the face, it's your job not to show any expression to your opponent.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
I was landscaping not too long ago, so I'm extremely grateful for the people supporting me in wrestling. Not that landscaping is terrible, but I'd rather be suplexing and punching people.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
I started training at the Monster Factory, the ROH dojo, CZW, and I trained there. And eventually, I had a tryout with WWE.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
Me and Kyle O'Reilly have wrestled all around the world. We've done good work.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
In my opinion, if I was going to pick main roster guys, I've always had a hunch out for Cesaro. I just feel like if we were able to just go at it, make it a fight, I think it would be pretty sensational.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
With wrestling, I'm working all the time, I'm wrestling all the time, I'm performing all the time, and I'm making money all the time.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
When I first started wrestling, I didn't even want people to know I was in the UFC.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
I'm already a personable person. I always try to smile and get to know somebody and say hello - even when people are trying not to talk to me.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
When I first started, I lived in Vegas because I was fighting in the UFC, and I was still fighting after the UFC.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
I just like people that bring in a very competitive mentality to pro wrestling.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
In wrestling, sports entertainment, I get to fight in front of people; I get to wrestle in front of people; I get to entertain people sometimes four times a week - all around the country, all around the world.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
If you're a wrestler in the WWE, then your goal is to be the headliner, main event of WrestleMania.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
I got into the UFC after six months of training. I started doing jiu-jitsu, had my first fight, tried out for 'The Ultimate Fighter,' and got on.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
I will be completely honest: when I fought in Manchester, they were very cruel to me. One fan actually spat directly in my face, and he was lucky enough where it hit my mouth.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
The bottom line is, I've got a wife and three kids. I've got bills I have to pay.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
I heard London is nice, so maybe it is. But I've only been to the armpit of England.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
I got a short - I got a temper. I fight in a cage for a living. There's a reason people like us are wired slightly different.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
I have a huge amount of respect for Lesnar. You know, he's done everything since he came into it. He works hard. You don't look like Lesnar without working hard.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
You don't pick up things, get to the top of multiple industries and sports without working hard.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
The thing for me is - and one of the reasons I was never a fan of Goldberg in the beginning when everybody was like 'Oh, he's so good! - I was like, 'No, he's terrible, he's hurting people,' and there's nothing else. He just has three-minute matches.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
A lot of people don't know who they are as a wrestler. Even people that walk into the doors of the Performance Center. They might be world-class athletes or models, but they don't know who they are in the ring.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
My goal is to change NXT. It is to change every company I've ever been to, and I've changed every company.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
Only one person can retire Brock Lesnar - only one person can end his career - and that person's going to be me.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
There's guys like Daniel Bryan and CM Punk that incorporated mixed martial arts submissions and moves into professional wrestling. I feel like the way it was incorporated was really good, but there's not enough people doing it.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
Everybody in wrestling is usually a pretty nice guy, they're all just hard workers trying to get their opportunities.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
If you get Fight of the Night, there's a reason you got Fight of the Night: it's usually because you had that crowd on its feet, going crazy during the fight, almost like a professional wrestling match.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
I want more unpredictability. I want more realism. I think the fans would appreciate that, and that's what I've brought since day one.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
If someone comes up to me and asks for an autograph or picture, who am I to say no?
Quote by -Matt Riddle
The more name value I have, the better. The more undeniable I am, the better. Then I can get what I want.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
I think with the right opportunity, I can go as far as I want, but you never know.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
I think a lot of people are excited that WWE was willing to give me a chance, and they want to see how far I can go with it.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
When I first started, I had a mullet, and I was trying to play a hillbilly persona. While it was fun, it wasn't me.
Quote by -Matt Riddle
I always had watched pro wrestling. I happened to be watching the WWE Network one day and started watching differently: I wasn't watching it as a fan, but instead I was watching it as something that I could possibly be a part of.
