Big Show was supposed to face Shaquille O'Neal at WrestleMania 33 true or false?
>> True.
[MUSIC]
>> Hello everyone.
This is WWE superstar, The Big Show, and
I'm gonna personally answer all the rumors out let me try to get
[SOUND] that was terrible and that will probably end up on a blooper.
[SOUND]
[MUSIC]
Hey everybody, it's WWE superstar Big Show here.
And we're gonna do a little rumor debunking.
If it's on the Internet, it must be true, right?
Or not.
[MUSIC]
False, I didn't leave wrestling for a boxing career.
I left wrestling to get healthy.
Part of getting healthy and reinvigorating myself is I did some boxing on the side.
But let's face it, boxing was never really a career.
It was a cute anecdote, if anything, it just made me miss this business more.
[MUSIC]
That's true, but that was mostly rumors I heard from the office,
I didn't really get any specifics on it, but it was heavily talked about.
[MUSIC]
Absolutely true.
Six foot two at 12, 6'8 at 14, 6'9 at 15, seven foot as a senior in high school.
[MUSIC]
Absolutely true.
Well long story short, I didn't like football coach and blah blah.
He told me I needed to support the team so I did.
I was always a rebel was born to be a wrestler.
[MUSIC]
So ropes are different in WCW, they were steel cables, and
it was a little bit more support.
A lot of the two back then was I hit strict opposition from a lot
of people a lot older than me to never do that again or else, so we left it alone.
[MUSIC]
True, people worry about my pay grade, I can put the idea together.
[MUSIC]
Very close, they would try to figure out what to call me because they wanted to
the story line and I was the son on Andre.
I remember I was very conflicted about that because
at that time I was very naive.
I just didn't wanna lie to anyone.
[LAUGH] Pro Wrestling cured that.
[LAUGH] [SOUND]
True.
Well, you know, it's funny back then, you know,
we're all trying to get opportunities to take opportunities.
In order to make money you had to get on Raw or SmackDown
because you had to have an angle on TV in order to get booked in live events.
And live events is where we made our money back in the day, you know.
So back then I think anybody would have taken that opportunity.
I would have in a heartbeat.
I actually lobbied for the one.
Remember the Undertaker Stalker gimmick that they gave the DVP, I lobbied for
that for weeks before they picked who is doing it?
I thought that was a greatest thing ever.
Glad It wasn't me.
[SOUND]
[MUSIC]
I have no idea why doesn't surprise me if I had a chance to win King of the Ring and
somebody leaked it and screwed me out of it.
While that doesn't surprise me awesome great now I get sent off be angry about.
True we had a good thing going the chemistry was there was bizarre and Seamus
and just I love buffaloes lads and lots of good stuff planned but mine was in such.
Complications my hip at the time that I just couldn't do that.
And I remember the last match that we had with new day,
starting with Xavier Woods and tell him I couldn't wait to work with him.
But yeah, that was a rough one because the bar should have.
We could done a lot more things for
each other business we would've been a great team.
[MUSIC]
False, that's ridiculous, cuz Vince doesn't put [BLEEP] like that in
the contract, put stuff like that in the contract, sorry.
This business is about making money,
making stories, not title runs and demanding opportunities.
That's just I can't believe anyone that I ever worked with ever asked for
something that stupid.
Because if you take care of business, you're going to get all of the above.
If I could take anything away from this exercise, it's good to put to rest.
Some of the ridiculous rumors that are out there.
But those of you that are interested that asked that submitted these questions,
hopefully I answered them and we can put these to rest and
I hope that it create more memories for you down the road.
Thank you very much for tuning in.
