10 Wrestlers Who Buried Their OWN Promotions
10. Big Show Hates WWE TV
Paul Wight didn't leave WWE and join Tony Khan's fledgling AEW revolution until 2021. Keep that in mind when reading this, because the then-Big Show went off on WWE four years prior during a chat with Chris Jericho's 'Talk Is Jericho' podcast. It was really something, and Jericho himself didn't butt in to disagree with anything his peer was saying.
Show said the following about working episodes of Raw and/or SmackDown: “I hate TVs. I just want to bash myself in the head with a hammer, ‘cause they’re just long, useless, time-wasting, bullsh*t days where you sit around all day for some freakin’ idea that absolutely sucks”.
Tell us how you really feel, Paul.
This caught some buzz at the time. WWE was still the only major option in 2017; there wasn't really anywhere else to go and make serious cash, so it was incredible that someone of Show's standing would vent this way. Wonder if he still feels the same about AEW TVs, or if things are different there?
