-Orndorff on never having held the WWF Championship: "I was a rebel. I'm proud and I'm not proud of that. I let my work do my talking. I wasn't a very good politician. I said what I thought. I did what I thought was right for me and my family. Were they the right thing? I don't know. Were they the wrong thing? I don't know. Am I rich? Hell no. I have cancer right now. I wished I had saved some of my money…but that's just the way it is."

-Ordorff on where he is with his cancer: "I don't know, I'm going to the doctors and they're doing things and I brought that up not for sympathy but because I don't want it. I just found out. And I'm sitting here telling you all this stuff because I wonder if maybe I should have just played the game."

-Orndorff on the difference between the WWE and Professional Wrestling Halls of Fame (he is in both): "Well one is chosen by your peers, and one is chosen by Vince McMahon. I would pick the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame (as the most prestigious) because it's chosen by the people you worked with. I think it holds more ground. Why would the NFL or baseball do it (that way) if it wasn't the way to go?"

-Orndorff on Randy Savage and Bruno Sammartino not being in the WWE Hall of Fame: "Well they didn't kiss (McMahon's) ass. Of course a lot of guys didn't kiss his ass believe it or not. I damn sure didn't…That's just life. It's nice that I'm in (the WWE Hall of Fame), but if I had to choose between the two, (I would choose) the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame."
