• Big Show Reveals Astonishing Amount Of Surgeries He’s Had In The Past Few Years

While speaking to Sam Roberts on the Notsam Wrestling podcast this week, WWE RAW Superstar The Big Show revealed the number of hip surgeries he’s had in the past two and a half years.

Below is what he said:

“I’ve been through hell the last couple years. I’ve had six hip surgeries in the past two and a half years. That’s why I dropped off the face of the map a little bit.

It also gave me an opportunity to partner with Netflix to do the TV Show. I was fine when I got everything straightened out. I was back on set two months after my last hip surgery.

I can see parts of the show where I wasn’t moving quite that well. The days were long. I’m in a lot better position now. I’m a lot stronger and healthier with no pain. After dealing with that for four years, it’s really nice not to have any pain.”

It’s safe to say that The World’s Largest Athlete won’t be seen on WWE TV for a while, after what Randy Orton did to him on RAW this week.
