10 Things We Learned From Big Show On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions Podcast

4. He Blasted Braun Strowman

Show deserves credit for honestly critiquing his early years as a worker and admitting that he made a boatload of mistakes. For example, he bumped around willy-nilly for anyone who asked, because he wanted to be liked by all the boys and get along. That, in retrospect, damaged his aura a little.

It's why Show blasted Braun Strowman several years ago for daring to do the same.

Show watched backstage as Braun bumped off a clothesline from Sami Zayn. He told Austin that he has all the respect in the world for Sami, but didn't think that should be happening to a monster heel like Strowman. When they returned behind the curtain, Show pulled Braun aside and told him never to do that sort of thing again.

This was one giant's way of looking out for another. As much as Show knew the industry had moved on from lumbering big men who barely move a muscle, he also didn't want Braun to make others look like a million bucks when he should be protecting his own credibility.

Ironic given all the comedy Show did, but yes.
