3. False Rumor About Big Show’s Death, He’s Alive & In Great Shape
A false rumor went viral where former WWF Champion The Big Show was declared dead. However, that rumor is false and below is what The Associated Press posted:
AP FACT CHECK: WWE wrestler Big Show not dead
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A story reported by a blog called “WWE” that claimed professional wrestling star “Big Show” had died in a car accident is false.
Chris Bellitti, a spokesman for World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc., (WWE) said Tuesday that the “Big Show,” whose real name is Paul Donald Wight II, is alive and well. He also said the blog site is not affiliated with the legitimate WWE site.
On Dec. 10, the short, poorly written blurb claimed the star had been admitted to a hospital and died.
On Monday, the 44-year-old tweeted a photograph of himself training in the gym. The tweet was reposted by WWE’s official Twitter account.
Similar false reports of John Cena dying in a car accident have been going around the internet for years now.
Below is a recent photo of The Big Show hitting the gym and getting ready for his WrestleMania 33 match:
