Art (as intros began for Jeff Jarrett vs. 1-2-3 Kid):"They’re not as big as some of these other fellers, are they?"
NOTE: Yeah, funny thing about that. Vince McMahon had his infamous steroid trial in 1994. While he was ultimately acquitted, Vince was still wary of public scrutiny, so he literally 'downsized' his televised product in a subtle manner. The supermegahuge muscle monkeys went into hibernation while the spotlight shifted to smaller guys such as Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. What, and you thought it was just because they were the company's two best workers of the decade? Ha! Anyway, you can just imagine how thrilled Vince must have been when Art pretty much pointed that out to America.

"I never thought I'd get a job with the WWF anyway. I always pictured myself wrestling in Japan when I started but it just turned out I got a shot with the WWF, it kind of worked out. I'd love to go back to Japan but it turns out they like big Americans too. So you're kind of screwed on both ends."

Bryan: "He would be the biggest baby face in the company if they just let him. And instead we've got Chris Harris, who is the most, just vanilla generic cookie cutter 1985 baby face in 2007."
Vinny: "They went from James Storm and Chris Harris immediately and, night and day. Harris was so plain."
Bryan: "It's just, it's unbelievable. But he's bigger! So he's getting the push. He's got a better physique."

"What is this power? Be careful, those muscles aren't just for show!"
