The Big Show Says He Asked Floyd Mayweather to Break His Nose Before Their WrestleMania Match

Sky Sports recently interviewed WWE Superstar the Big Show. He shared his thoughts on injured WWE Superstar Finn Balor, working with boxing champion Floyd Mayweather for WrestleMania, and more. Below are some highlights.

Big Show on how he asked Floyd Mayweather to break his nose int he build for their WrestleMania match: “The hit was hard enough! I asked him to break my nose and, as one of the best fighters in the world, he did! He didn’t cause any irreparable damage as I still look like Robert Redford… I have nothing but good things to say about Floyd – he is a fantastic businessman and entertainer, although his grandmother laid into me pretty hard after WrestleMania for slapping her baby boy in the chest! As for Floyd’s possible fight with Conor McGregor, if it was a boxing match, he would win – Conor wouldn’t be able to hit him. Conor hits hard but it doesn’t matter if you can’t hit your target! Floyd has too much unconscious competence. Still, it would be some draw.”

His thoughts on Finn Balor: “We have try-outs at almost every TV taping and it can be hard for guys to shine in an empty arena with a bunch of Superstars standing around watching, but you can tell in 20 seconds whether some guys have ‘it’ – whether they move their feet right, are willing to learn and can be a WWE Superstar. Finn, who was by no means a rookie having fought in different dojos all over the world, had that charisma and charm that you wanted to see more of – I would have loved the chance to work with him as we could have torn the house down. With his attitude and skill he will overcome this injury and come back strong. It was pretty badass of him to separate his shoulder [in his match against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam] put it back in and continue to wrestle. That deserves a lot of respect.”

His thoughts on touring in the UK: “I’ve been in WWE for 17 years and done two UK tours a year for 14 years – I’ve probably been over 30 times and every time I do there’s something new. This time, for example, I have been to Savile Row, so I am going to have a proper suit – or a tent! One of the first media tours I did was with The Rock – no one knew who I was as I had just come from WCW, they thought I was The Rock’s bodyguard. He had about 25,000 people turn up and wanting things with his face on it signed, whereas I was signing mats as there wasn’t anything with my face on it yet. Considering where The Rock is now my ego is okay playing second fiddle to him!”
