- McMahon said the favorite part of his job is the creative aspect, working with the wrestlers, and motivating them to get the best out of their performances. He said that he gets to be every single individual by giving them the tools in which to succeed. McMahon said sometimes he can lead the horse to the trough, but they won't drink from the water.
- After clips aired from The Marine premiere at Camp Pendleton, McMahon said the biggest event of the year is not WrestleMania, but going overseas to see the troops and give back. He said it's great to visit the troops and tell them thank you. He said a large part of their demographic is the type of people who enjoy non-stop action. On Cena's performance, McMahon said it's a calculated risk to take someone who's never acted before and putting them in a starring role, most people would think I'm slightly insane. He said Cena pulled this off extremely well. McMahon said he's not the next movie superstar, but Cena enjoys doing the roles given to him. He said you get to see a lot of Cena, the human being, during the movie.
- On whether Cena will ever leave WWE to pursue other roles, he said Cena might consider that when he's his age. He said Cena insisted on coming back to WWE for the shows while filming the movie in Australia. He said Cena is dedicated to the business and, as Rock would tell you, the rush of a live audience can't be missed. "I don't see Cena cashing in his chips and saying, 'Oh, I'm going to be a movie star'."
- McMahon said he would have a blast being in a film and he's even been encouraged to do so, but the problem is that there's not enough time. He said it's three months on a movie set and he can't do that while being so integral to the company. "I don't think we're set up to run the company for three months," he said.
- On whether there any decisions he has made that he regrets, McMahon said, "I don't think I regret anything - oh yeah, I do regret some things in my personal life - I don't think I regret anything from a business standpoint." McMahon said he doesn't regret anything in business.
- On his favorite match, McMahon said he doesn't have a favorite match. He said he enjoys matches with Benoit and Finlay - the art and physicality of what they do - and the showmanship when done right. On the biggest crowd pop ever, he said when Hogan slammed Andre the Giant was the most extraordinary moment in the history of the business.
