Wight's great rapport with Vince is something the giant believed would give him more respect when it came to talking business, but that seemingly wasn't the case. In fact, Paul specifically recalled on the pod a time he approached WWE about a "Big Show Burger".

The half-pound patty would've had "no added antibiotics or hormones", and the gimmick was that it'd be available for delivery anywhere in the United States within 36 hours of being ordered online. When Show told his employers about this potential goldmine, they weren't exactly receptive.

WWE officials looked at Paul like he was "some guy that walked in off the street".

They tried to bamboozle him with numbers and structure any potential deal in a way that suited them more than anybody else. Again, this is something Wight kinda' expected, but he didn't like the idea that people thought he couldn't handle business decisions on his own.
