The Wrestler quotes

Necro Butcher

Are you cool with the staples?

Necro Butcher

Staple gun... Not so bad on the way in, except it's a little scary, you know - you got this metal thing pressed up against you. Gonna leave some marks, have to deal with a little blood loss.

Goddamn they don't make em' like they used to.

Cassidy

****in' 80's man, best shit ever!

Bet'chr ass man, Guns N' Roses! Rules.

Cassidy

Crüe!

Cassidy

Def Lep!

Then that Cobain pussy had to come around and ruin it all.

Cassidy

Like there's something wrong with just wanting to have a good time?

I'll tell you somethin', I hate the ****in' 90's.

Cassidy

****in' 90's sucked.

****in' 90's sucked.

[describing the deli counter]

It's an endless parade of horny housewives begging for your man meat.

I just wanna say to you all tonight, I'm very grateful to be here. A lot of people told me that I'd never wrestle again. And that's all I do. You know, if you live hard and you play hard, and you burn the candle at both ends, you pay the price for it. You know, in this life you can lose everything that you love, everything that loves you. Now, I don't hear as good as I used to, and I forget stuff, and I ain't as pretty as I used to be. But god-damn it, I'm still standing here and I'm The Ram. [applause] As time goes by, as time goes by, they say: 'He's washed up. He's finished. He's a loser. He's all through.' But you know what? The only ones who are gonna tell me when I'm through doing my thing is you people here! [applause] You people here, you people here are the ones who are worth bringing it for, because you're my family. I love all of you. Thank you so much.

I just want to tell you, I'm the one who was supposed to take care of everything. I'm the one who was supposed to make everything okay for everybody. It just didn't work out like that. And I left. I left you. You never did anything wrong. I used to try to forget about you. I used to try to pretend that you didn't exist, but I can't. You're my girl. You're my little girl. And now, I'm an old broken down piece of meat... and I'm alone. And I deserve to be all alone. I just don't want you to hate me.
