"So we've got something in common, Windham. I lost my parents, I lost Alicia, I lost M.... you lost your parents, you lost your wife and daughter, and somewhere in the mess that is Timmy and Troy, I'm fairly sure you lost a brother. Or cousin. Or whatever."
"But at the same time, you found someone to walk through the fire with you. So have I. I've just learned better than to expose her to the realities of professional wrestling."
"You're surprised I made it this far, Windham? Don't be. It's not in my nature to quit when things get tough. Too damn stubborn for my own good, I suppose. I'm still here because I'm not ready to leave yet."
"There was a time, Mark, that I was told I'd never be an important figure in this business. There was a time that I was told I'd never measure up to the stars of the moment."
"You and GUNS are the last two stars of that moment that I haven't wrestled. I hate loose ends. You want to know my motivation? Why I'm getting in the ring with you this weekend? Because I want to beat Mark Windham. So you can say, when you look back on your career, that you wrestled Eli Flair. So someday Thelma can ask you what the toughest challenge of your career was and you'll have a definite answer instead of a slew of 'runners up.'"
"All of the above? None of the above? Take your pick."
"Am I alone? I've always been alone. But it's for the best.... because I've done what I've needed to do for years now, and that's cut the distractions out. There's nobody in my corner that I need to worry about.... and that's how it should be."
"Which Eli is going to show, Windham? What year do you think this is? Do you think that because I didn't fight my demons on as grand and public a scale as you that I haven't? Do you think that because I didn't have a handy little 'go- to' phrase like THE AWAKENING that I decided to run from my ghosts?"
"Know this, Windham.... I haven't bitten off more than I can chew. This is one match, where you get to pound all your aggression at me out, where I get to bitchslap you for f**kin' with me after Anniversary. You want to make more of it? Be my guest. It won't change the finish, it won't change the inevitable."
"Don't blame me for how things are.... just accept it and you'll be a lot better off."
"At SHOWTIME, Windham.... we're going to dance. But there's one thing you don't seem to realize...."
"I'm going to lead."
