The Undertaker: 10 Awesome Backstage Stories
10. Balls To Big Show
Although he doesn't like to go on about it, Paul 'The Big Show' Wight is a rather large athlete. What with his large, showy size, it's fair to assume that the respect he receives is in part due to his long career and his intimidating presence.
Intimidating to most, that is; not to the Undertaker, though.
Big Show has gone on record many times in saying that Undertaker helped him develop better than anyone in his career. 'Taker's main mode of encouragement was apparently a humbling, constant stream of b*llockings.
The harsh tutelage approach is a pretty old school method, but one that helped develop Big Show into the biggest and best Big Show he could be. Even after what would be considered his rookie period in WWE, Big Show still received the 'harsh master' treatment from the Deadman.
After a match with Undertaker that Big Show considered one of his career highlights, he sent a text to 'Taker ('Texter?) thanking the Phenom for the match and all of the help over the years. 'Taker's response was, according to Big Show: "He sends me a text back and it's a picture of his balls and he's flipping me the bird! I didn't know how to reply to that!"
