10 Wrestling Promos That Pissed Off Wrestlers
7. Big Show Was Not In The Mood For "War & Peace"
There's those who can take the sometimes restricting WWE scripted guidelines and turn them into unquestionable brilliance. While others have been known to take one look at an excessively dense piece of dialogue and lose their damn minds.
Current All Elite giant Paul Wight falls into that latter category, as it goes.
As the former Big Show revealed himself in an appearance on Freddie Prinze Jr.s' Wrestling with Freddie podcast, the pair's first-ever interaction whilst the latter was working as a WWE writer wasn't what you'd class as a wholly positive one thanks to the promo Prinze Jr. had written up for the former World Heavyweight Champion.
“Who the f*** wrote me War and Peace!” were the words that erupted from Wight's brassed off mouth upon smashing open the writers' room door, with Show also recalling his reasons for losing his cool to the unfortunate former writer:
"Like, I haven’t done a promo in like four months, and now I’ve got like four f****** pages to try to memorize, and I’ve got segments of wrestling that I’ve gotta do, like, ‘who the f*** wrote this and why?’"
25 minutes later, the duo had successfully reworked the promo, but not before this Giant nearly squished a Prinze there and then.
