Thinking about switching to T-Mobile just because of @johnlegere's #CES presentation.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is going on in Las Vegas, and T-Mobile CEO John Legere put on quite a show during his speech today, according to those who were there or watching online:
"We are either gonna take over this whole industry, or these bastards are gonna change and the whole industry's gonna shift." – @johnlegere

This live blog of John Legere trolling the shit out of the wireless industry is amazing: http://t.co/11QyBF0JHv

This is probably common but T-Mobile CEO John Legere has managed to mention horsesh*t, sh#*+! your pants, peckers, b*lls and other topics

I heard that at the end of the T-Mobile press conference John Legere is going to wrestle anyone willing to come on stage and challenge him.

Yup… Legere is already cursing up a storm! If you're not watching T-Mobile's Uncarrier 4.0 event, YOU NEED TO BE. http://t.co/vYCrLsqoSV

T-Mobile will pay your early termination fee if you break your contract on another carrier to switch. #CES #MashCES pic.twitter.com/DeCOuhBDsA

Legere also apparently doesn’t like AT&T saying they’re the fastest network:
Legere says he's sending a cease and desist letter to AT&T right now telling them to stop saying they are the fastest network. LOL #thug

On top of it all, the naturally energetic Legere decided to add even more energy to his speech:
We must also note that @JohnLegere is drinking a can of Red Bull while giving this speech http://t.co/BcFoyKIywE pic.twitter.com/T5Encr6tmZ

Omg, John Legere is on stage with a Red Bull
— Jake Kastrenakes (@jake_k) January 8, 2014
Does @JohnLegere really need Red Bull?

The takeaway quote, as shared on the official T-Mobile Twitter account:
"This industry blows" – @JohnLegere

Yesterday, perhaps unsurprisingly, Legere reportedly got the boot from an AT&T party:
