Rey Mysterio I always wanted to return to the company that gave me my first opportunity. Thanks to AAA, Rey Mysterio was born. – Rey Mysterio
Rey Mysterio When I was 17, I got a call from Konnan. He told me that he was about to start up a new promotion called AAA. A lot of the popular wrestlers were going to come to work for him, and he wanted me to be one of them. – Rey Mysterio
Mohamed El-Erian The once-unthinkable loss of the AAA rating will constitute a further hit to already fragile business and consumer confidence. – Mohamed El-Erian
Matt Taibbi It’s not a stretch to say the whole financial industry revolves around the compass point of the absolutely safe AAA rating. But the financial crisis happened because AAA ratings stopped being something that had to be earned and turned into something that could be paid for. – Matt Taibbi
Matt Taibbi What the mortgage bubble was all about was big banks like Goldman Sachs taking big bundles of subprime mortgages that were lent out largely to low-income, highly risky borrowers, and applying this kind of magic-pixie-dust math to these bundles of securities and slapping AAA ratings on them. – Matt Taibbi
Matt Sydal I was down in Peru, and I was watching AAA in Spanish on my TV, and it just it blew my mind because they weren’t following any of the rules, yet the crowd was still there. – Matt Sydal
Mark Zandi Defaulting on the nation’s debt would be cataclysmic. The U.S. Treasury’s Aaa rating is the one constant in the world’s financial system. When times are bad anywhere on the planet, global investors flock to Treasury bonds because they know they will get their money back. – Mark Zandi
Mark Steyn I mean, Iceland is Iceland. It can’t do damage to anybody unless you’re Icelandic. But the United States can drag down the entire western economy. And I think what we are seeing is simply a reflection of reality. This is not, I’m sorry, but this is not a AAA nation. – Mark Steyn
John T Chambers I think, as time passes, people will come to see that the United States’ credit standing is really not quite the same level as the ones that we rate AAA. – John T Chambers
John Sununu Politics thrives on simple, clean messages, something that played to Obama’s advantage in 2008. Stagnant unemployment and the loss of America’s AAA rating are as simple and tough as they come. This is the economy on Obama’s watch, and there’s no one left to blame. – John Sununu
John Morrison I’ve been pushing and training for Lucha Underground and AAA, as well as parkour and stunt training for my movie, and I’ve blended those styles together for my wrestling. – John Morrison
