Big Show further spoke about a bizarre encounter with one of his fans who got “really obnoxious” in a hotel. The two-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion recalled punching the fan in the jaw after he thought that the latter was going to stab him in the stomach. He added that his actions cost him a lot of money in the court.

“I had a fan years ago that got really obnoxious in a hotel, and there was no security there. It was a lobby full of people, and he was just being a complete jacka**. And he made a move, and I honestly thought, with my peripheral vision down low, I thought he was going to stab me in the stomach with something. I didn’t know if he had a knife or if he had a pen. He was making a flinch move, but at the time I thought he was going to stab me. So I cracked him in the jaw. It’s fine, not really, because it took me, you know, a lot of money to go to court and defend myself and all that,” Big Show said. [H/T: Ringside News]

Former WWE Superstar Big Show opens up about his physical health

WWE veteran Big Show is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling. However, he hasn’t wrestled a match since January 2024.

Later in the same podcast, the veteran claimed to have been through “hell” in the past seven years. The legendary star noted that he had a major surgery every year during the period. The former WWE Champion also shared details about some of his surgeries.

“I’ve been through hell the past seven years. I’ve had a major surgery the past seven years every freaking year. I’ve had both knees done. I’ve had both hips done. The first hip was the first one I had done, I had five operations on the first hip,” Big Show said. [H/T: Ringside News]

Big Show has been away from the squared circle for over two years. It remains to be seen if he will make his return to in-ring action in the future.
