"Tell Goldberg to quit fucking crying. Just because I do it bigger and better than everyone else does, doesn't mean I'm trying to monopolize. This isn't a monopoly. Everyone who can rub two nickels together is getting into this sport. Mark Cuban just jumped in. I'll tell you what, there have been other people who have tried to compete with Vince and they couldn't. there's a big difference.

If he's saying that about me; thank you then, I look at that as a compliment."
