CM Punk: "By a show of hands who here has made New Year's resolutions? [vereinzelte Hände gehen hoch, vereinzelte Buhrufe] You don't boo that. You just raise or not raise your hand. Now, how many of you have already broken those New Year's resolutions? And you, you sir, right there. [deutet ins Publikum] I'd imagine yours. Yours was what? Lose 20, 30 pounds? You've clearly already blown that one sky high. And how many of you collectively foolishly told yourselves that you are gonna stop drinking for the New Year? New Year's resolutions are all about bettering yourself, making yourself a better person. Just why I've never actually made a resolution myself, because I'm already better.

But I can help you. I can save you. Take what I've done to Luke--I can do for you. That's why tonight we're gonna have a pledge. So I want everybody in the arena to stand up right now. Show yourselves a little bit of self-respect. Everybody at home--Of course feel free to put your hand on the screen and feel me flow through you into your homes. Everybody repeat after me. ...

Chris Jericho: "There's a saying in old Westerns that goes: This town isn't big enough for the both of us. Let me paraphrase that old cliché when I say that SmackDown isn't big enough for me. Because I'm bigger than this show. I'm bigger than all of you gelatinous tapeworms who have the privilege of watching me every Friday night. And more importantly I'm bigger than the WWE. And this Monday night The Big Show and I will defeat DX and regain our Unified Tag Team Championships. Oh yeah, we will defeat DX. I guarantee it.

And as a result not only will I be the face of SmackDown, but I'll once again be the face of RAW. I'll go on to be the face of ECW, Superstars, live events, Pay Per Views, WWE on Demand, WWE Classic. I'll be the face of the entire company.

And my New Year's resolution as a result of being on every show in this company will be to win every championship in the WWE. And that's gonna start tonight when I beat Rey Mysterio in record time. And go on to defeat The Undertaker to become World Heavyweight Champion for the sixth time! And I'm good enough to do it. And you hypocrites know I'm good enough to do it. So all of you thickheaded, lolly-gagging dullards need to get used to Chris Jericho, because in 2010 I am going to take my rightful place as the omnipotent epicenter of the entire WWE Universe."
