A decade ago, The Undertaker, while being The American Badass, appeared for an interview with TSN’s Off The Record. Taker talked about his views on The Big Show and that he had to discipline him.

Taker recalled, “I remember it was Joe Louis Arena one night, he came in and he was cutting up. I think I was in a match with him. And he was cutting up and talking about all I’m gonna blow you up which means I’m gonna gash, I’m gonna make it, I’m gonna make you tired and sucking win.”

The WWE Hall of Fame added, “In a matter of 30 seconds, once the match started, not to say I didn’t have a fire lit under me but, he was completely out of shape and couldn’t catch his win. He was hanging on the ropes and that bothers me for somebody that has those gifts that he has. Not to put forth to keep yourself in shape. Also, he had a problem of treating people (and) I let him know real quick.”

Taker and Big Show had plenty of matches over the years in WWE. Both the legend mainly faced during the Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression Era until 2011. 

The Phenom is himself a giant superstar and knows how important it is to maintain themselves to wrestle for the long run. Eventually, Show had to go back to OVW in the year 2000 after WrestleMania to get into shape and reinvent himself.

What does The Undertaker actually think about The Big Show?

The World’s Largest Athlete is indeed a unique professional wrestler of all time. The Big Show is often called a giant who is agile in the ring. Similarly, The Undertaker in the same interview praised Show before talking about the above-mentioned incident.

Taker said, “I’ll tell you, there is a guy that I think that has all the gifts and all the tools in the world. His (name is) Big Show. I mean this guy, he’s seven foot two inches, he’s five hundred pounds. He can do anything in the world that he wants athletically. I think sometimes his motivation lacks.”

By the end of the year, 2000 Show had gained weight and had become slow in the ring. Moreover, the 7-time world champion struggled with weight-related issues for the next few years. Many were worried about his health due to what happened to Andre the Giant and other giant wrestlers.
