"You know what's funny? Why wouldn't you do that? I guarantee you, you've got two massive massive competitors. You pay those guys enough money, no doubt in my mind they would do exactly. Why wouldn't you go there? I don't know what these guys get for a WrestleMania payoff but double it," said Vince Russo. [From 50:10 to 50:50]

"The F5 from Brock, I think a lot of people were surprised with how quickly it happened, you know? I don’t get paid by the hour, so […] it was the most money I’ve made in the least amount of time, aside from the Rumble last year," said Kofi.

Kofi won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35 after defeating Daniel Bryan. He held the title for 180 days before losing it to Brock Lesnar on the 20th-anniversary edition of SmackDown.
