Best Quotes
Tattoo Guy: Tentacular! I’ve got your whole life story tattooed on my body!
Tentacular: I hope you saved room for the win I’m going to have tonight.
Stoker Announcer: Ladies, and gentlemen, and monsters! Let’s get ready to rumble!
Mayor: Look, I know you’re all worried. After all, each of us owns a piece of Stoker Stadium. But what you don’t realize is, that things are actually much, much worse than you know.
Hair Salon Lady: Hang on. What?
Mayor: Our councilwoman over here can explain everything to you. Probably her fault anyway.
Councilwoman: Wow. Thank you so much, Mr. Mayor. Pretty sure it’s your fault though.
Winnie: You can’t just tear down everything my dad and Rayburn built here. They never quit. You know what my dad always said? “When you get knocked down, you get back up.”
Hair Salon Lady: Getting back up isn’t going to pay my bills, Winnie.
Klonk: Bring it on, you sack of warm puke.
Rayburn: Oh, I’m bringing the warm puke. Don’t worry. There’s going to be a lot of puke coming out of me, which is obviously super gross.
Lady Mayhen: Looks like we have a little bit of a problem, Stevie. I paid you to lose tonight, like I do every night.
Rayburn: It was an accident, I swear. You know me. I love to lose. I’m the best loser in the biz.
Winnie: I can help you. Just come with me to Stoker.
Rayburn: I’m not going back to that place that I’ve never been.
Winnie: Wow. You are not good at lying, Rayburn.
Rayburn: Hey, kid. You got the wrong monster.
Winnie: I don’t think so, Rayburn.
Rayburn: Rayburn was my dad. And I’m not going to cash in on his name. Ever.
Winnie: I knew it! I knew it was you!
Rayburn: [to a sleeping Winnie as he’s giving her a ride on his back] Comfy up there? You must be exhausted from ruining my life. Need a pillow? Maybe a chocolate? Sorry we don’t provide turndown service.
Rayburn: [referring to the gym] Wow. This place hasn’t changed a bit.
Winnie: I know. It’s magical, isn’t it? It’s still got that smell of sweat and feet. Really big feet.
Rayburn: You’re a real weird kid. Real weird.
Winnie: Yeah, I know. You know, Steve, you’re not the first person to say that to me, actually.
Rayburn: Let’s get something straight. I love wrestling. I loved my dad. But I’m not going to be him. Especially for you. I’m going to be me.
Winnie: And who are you, Steve?
Rayburn: I’m the guy who’s here for the money. You got me?
Winnie: Oh, I got you. Money all the way.
Winnie: Do you think I can do this?
Maggie: I think you won’t know until you try. Just remember, train the monster you have, not the one you wish you had.
Winnie: Did Dad say that?
Maggie: No. Mom did, just now.
Rayburn: I had this terrible dream that I promised I would get up and train. Oh, it’s real!
Winnie: So, are you ready? Let’s do this.
Rayburn: Go ahead. You start. Set up all the cones, or whatever.
Winnie: Oh, ho! No, you don’t. Up and at them, sunshine. It is go time. Game day. Ain’t no time like the present. Man, why can’t I think of more sports clichés? Well, until I do, let’s train.
Rayburn: You are a rude little girl.
Rayburn: Oh, this is original. Are you for real? What do you think you’re doing right now?
Winnie: I’m doing my coach speech.
Rayburn: Do I look like the kind of guy who’s going to go for the “rah-rah” stuff?

Rayburn: Sorry. I just love to laugh. That’s me.
Ramarilla: I ain’t laughing. But I will be when I pin your face in the dirt, and I break your jaw with my horns!
Rayburn: Boy, does that sound painful. Can’t wait.
Winnie: What was that? You are embarrassing us out there! This isn’t Pittsmore. This is a real match. You can’t just throw it.
Rayburn: Yeah, I get that now, okay? So I just need to figure out how not to die, and then cha-ching. That’s the sound of me making money.
Winnie: There’s no money if you lose.
Rayburn: Wait, what? You said this was a paid match.
Winnie: It is. Winner takes all. You didn’t read the paperwork I had you sign?
Rayburn: Nobody reads the paperwork!
Winnie: So, if you want that money, we’re going to have to try a very radical new strategy here. Ready for it? Try to win.
Rayburn: This is winning?
Winnie: Yeah. How does it feel?
Rayburn: It feels not bad. I feel not bad!
Winnie: “Worst match of the week.”
Rayburn: I know. My first win, and it was on TV. How awesome.
Winnie: No. No, it’s not awesome, Steve. No one’s ever going to fight us in Stoker. We’re a joke.
Rayburn: And just for the tiniest moment there, I was feeling okay about myself.
Winnie: Yeah, well, that’s over now.
Winnie: It’s time to do it by the book. My dad’s playbook. This is the key that’ll turn you from a zero into a hero.
Rayburn: Oh, “zero”, is it? That’s motivating.
Winnie: Chapter One. Basic Fitness.
Rayburn: Oh, I’m tired already.
Rayburn: Are you really going to show me film of my dad?
Winnie: Of course. He was the greatest.
Rayburn: Yeah. Clearly it’s a thing for me. Have you never heard of “daddy issues”?
Winnie: Oh. Right. Sorry.
Winnie: You don’t try!
Rayburn: I try not to be a stick in the mud. Maybe you ought to try that too.
Winnie: You’re uncoachable!
Rayburn: And you’re not good at coaching!
Winnie: Let’s just start over. What gets you out of bed in the morning? What gets your heart racing, your blood pumping? You know,wWhat do you love to do?
Rayburn: Nothing.
Winnie: Come on. There must be something.
Rayburn: No, I’m sorry. I really, literally mean I like to do nothing.
Winnie: I’m going to need more than that.
Rayburn: Oh. Sleeping?
Winnie: Really?
Rayburn: Yeah. Oh, yeah, really. I’m real good at it. Or sitting is another one. I like sitting.
Winnie: Not helping.
Rayburn: Did I mention sitting? I feel like I did. Oh, eating!
Rayburn: Oh, there’s also salsa. But, yeah, that’s it. That’s probably it.
Winnie: Like with chips?
Rayburn: I said it very clear. I said salsa.
Winnie: Like salsa, salsa?
Rayburn: I don’t like dancing.
Winnie: [as she puts on some music] Is that so?
Rayburn: [as he involuntarily starts moving to the music] Okay, yes! There’s nothing on this planet I love more than dancing.
Winnie: [to Rayburn] You’ve got to slow him down. Execute Plan Tango!

Winnie: [to Rayburn] Come on, push it, Steve. Pain is weakness leaving the body.
Rayburn: Nobody puts Ray-Ray in a corner.
Winnie: Was I too much back there? I was too much, right?
Rayburn: Yeah, well, when it comes to wrestling, “too much” isn’t really a thing.
Winnie: New sign is looking good, Fred.
Fred: Thanks, Winnie. I made it myself. Took me seven sheets to spell “stupendous” correctly!
Tentacular: This tastes disgusting. I can’t believe this is my drink. Who approved this?
Siggy: That was you, T.
Tentacular: Oh, me? Oh.
