As covered here on eWn during the week, The Big Show was the most recent guest on Chris Jericho’s “Talk Is Jericho” podcast. It was a very interesting interview hearing the Big Show’s perspective on things, including: Show discussing that he feels as if WWE was better during the time where mostly everyone disliked one another and were in competition.
Here are a few an excerpts from that particular portion of the podcast:
Big Show: “You’re getting your ass chewed out and you don’t understand why you’re getting your ass chewed out and the last thing you can do is ask why. Because then it’ll expose what kind of an idiot you really are, so you just have to nod your head, hope you filter it out and hope you go out there and figure it out. These new kids don’t really have that problem because they’re catered to; they get everything explained to them, it gets broken down, they watch videos and if they mess up they get patted on the back. ‘It’s OK, well, we need to do this next time’, they can’t take an ass chewing. That’s one thing about the newer kids; they can’t take an ass chewing, because they fold like aluminum foil.”
“If you’re on Vince’s radar, that means he sees something in you. I think it makes you a more confident, solid individual, once you get forged in fire. You become a stronger person in your character and your convictions. Now everybody gets along, they all go to Panera Bread or Chipotle, they go to their CrossFit gyms, they’re all buddies, know what I mean? Back in the day, we all hated each other. But if you think about it, Vince would prefer an environment, he liked that environment because when you don’t like the guy next to you, you’re not going to go out there and take it easy, you’re going to work hard because you want to outdo that guy.”
