22 Things We Learned From Big Show On Talk Is Jericho
8. The Son Of Andre
The two discuss how discombobulated things were at WCW, mentioning a time when Show walked out and chokeslammed Stevie Ray during a match he with Jericho that never led anywhere. He talks about the time he walked out smoking and says that's because he had been arguing with someone backstage and since he didn't have music, completely forgot that he was still smoking when it was time to make his way to the ring. Jericho asks why he never had music in WCW and he replies "They said it's because I was a giant and giants don't need music." Show follows that up with a funny story of Kevin Sullivan misspelling his name on a program that advertised a bout between he and Lex Luger, which caused him to be nicknamed "The Gant" for the remainder of his time in WCW. As for his original gimmick of being the son of Andre, Show says it was just a way to give him some credibility right out of the gate. He mentions that he still gets people walking up to him telling him they've been longtime fans of both he and his dad, to which he replies "My dad was an airplane mechanic."
