8 Times Wrestlers Embarrassed Themselves On Camera
6. Big Show Slugs It Out In Hotel Lobby
There aren't many people in this world who have enough lasting brain damage to confront someone the size of Paul Wight and expect the situation to go their way. Apparently one such person was staying at the Marriott Hotel in Uniondale, New York in 1998 when The Giant came to town for a WCW event.
Caught on the hotel's surveillance camera was a skirmish between the 7-foot, 450-pound wrestler and a mouthy fan, who witnesses say was insulting the big man and getting in his face.
According to Wight's own testimony, he politely asked the guy to stop, but the man instead chose to shove him in the chest. What happened next is a lesson that should be tattooed into every viewer's brain: Do not shove someone who looks like Paul Wight. Things will end poorly.
The Big Show socked the guy right in the mouth with a thunderous punch, breaking his jaw in the process. Wight was charged with assault, but was ultimately ruled not guilty on the grounds that he was acting in self-defense.
On second thought, this is probably more embarrassing for the guy Big Show laid out...
