Big Show on the end of his career:
“My career is winding down. I didn’t mind being 480, 500 pounds when I was full-time as the Big Show,” he tells B/R Mag. “I liked being the monster that was bigger than everybody around me. As your career evolves, there are other monsters that are coming in—and my time is done.”
Big Show on fan criticisms that he isn’t good in the ring:
“It wasn’t one of those kinds of things where I thought I’d get in and be a star,” he says. “I never thought I’d be good enough. I really didn’t. There’s probably some fans out there who say I’m still not good enough, and that’s OK. But I’ve made it 22 years, so kiss my big ass.”
