“I talked a lot about how I was given bread and breadcrumbs and I wanted a full course meal. I realized when you did not tap me out, I realized I have graduated from being hungry to being greedy. I am going to take, and take and take, because it’s in my nature and it’s in what I do!”
Danielson: “I wish you would have been a little more patient because I wasn’t done yet. I was in the ring with you on Sunday and I approve. And we say in the BCC if you want to be with us, you’ve gotta bleed with us. And Sunday…”
