10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Feb 19)

All these years on, it's still mind-blowing to think that World Championship Wrestling decided to introduce Paul 'The Giant' Wight as the son of the legendary Andre The Giant in 1995. The man was even given similar ring gear to his storyline father, but the idea of the pair being related was phased out after a while. This can only be considered a good thing, because the shadow of Andre was a huge one to fill for a relative rookie. Recently, Wight - now known as The Big Show - sat down with Steve Austin for the WWE Network. The interview turned out to be quite a revealing peek into the man's personal life before he broke into the pro wrestling business, and even included a fascinating story about his proposed deal with WCW. That story is featured in this article, one which aims to display 10 different wrestling facts that weren't exactly common knowledge before this week. Joining The Big Show, there are also facts related to the likes of Daniel Bryan, the 'American Dream' Dusty Rhodes and 'Macho Man' Randy Savage. There's even an unintentionally hilarious tale told by a former WWF/WWE referee. Readers won't believe the story he has to tell about WrestleMania IV.
