I'm going to be the champion for a long time.

Being a world champion is something I'm already proud of and can take for the rest of my life.

I love being world champion.

I'm so proud, and it feels brilliant to be a world champion.

I wanted to be a world champion.

I'm proud of my triumphs. I've dreamed of being world champion, I've had some difficult times and they've made me value the good times.

I've always been working just to be a world champion and it's a dream come true.

I was born to be champion of the world.

Who would have ever thought that, within a couple months of getting into the WWE, that I'd be wrestling in the main event for the world championship? Then, nine months after getting here, actually being the world champion.

It wasn't until '79 I won my first amateur championship, and then, by '81, I was 14, and I won my first world championship, which was amazing to me, and in a very real sense, that was the first real victory I had.
