A long-term goal for me is, I would like to be the most profitable talent that WWE has ever had. And I know who hangs in that group. You know, your Austin 3:16's, your Hustle, Loyalty, Respect, your John Cena's. I know what I have been doing. And I know the length that I have to keep doing this for this goal to become a reality.
So that one, it's a little inside baseball, and it's not all that glamorous. But I really, even today, feel a sense of -- I would like to give WWE everything I possibly have. Everything I possibly have. Because I feel like so much has been given to me coming out of WrestleMania 40. Yeah, sure, we worked for it. And sure, we earned it. And I do think I'm the right person for the job. But I'd like to make sure I, when it's time, leave them in the best possible place they've ever been.

I mean I doubt he'd ever reach Hogan and Cena levels of merch sellers. I don't think those numbers have ever been released.

Allegedly Steve Austin has more numbers than Hogan/Cena lifetime.

12 Million shirt sales alone in 1998, I believe he's purported to be the biggest merchandise seller in company history.

I believe it, there is not a more iconic shirt than 3:16 + he had a few other cool ones. Everyone in primary school had an austin shirt when I grew up.
