17. Big Show Says He’s Below 400 lbs Now
During a recent interview with WSVN-TV entertainment, former WWF & WCW World Heavyweight Champion The Big Show noted that he’s below 400 lbs now. Below are the highlights from the interview:
On his current weight:
“I’m 70 pounds lighter than I was six months ago. I’m down to 396 pounds. I haven’t been this skinny since 1995. I’m the not-so-big Big Show!”
Facing Shaquille O’Neal at WrestleMania 33:
“I threw it out to Shaq at the ESPY Awards and said ‘What’s up. Let’s get this thing going. Let’s give it a run.’ He seemed hip to the game then so we’ll see what happens between now and then. He’s got a lot of little people and I’ve got a lot of little people that have to meet and talk. The invitation is there. Shaq knows it’s in Orlando, it’s a short drive. Show up and get smacked up.”
Who is the strongest guy he’s worked with?
“John Cena. Hands down. But Brock is probably the most explosive athlete I’ve ever been in the ring with. Brock moves so quick it’s scary sometimes. But as far as people picking me up, nobody’s like John Cena. When Cena picks you up, it’s like you’re standing on concrete. I’ve never seen a guy so composed and so strong and when you’re up there on his shoulders, you’re not going anywhere.”
How much longer can he wrestle before he retires:
“I can do this as long as Vince McMahon tells me to do this (laughs). I think I have until like February 2018 left in my contract… I’ve done everything I can do. I’ve done my time in the trenches. I’ve done my 5 days a week, 280 days a year for 20 years. So if I’m on a little bit of a limited schedule now, I’m going to enjoy it.”
