The Big Show Says Roman Reigns is One of His Favorite Wrestlers

WWE superstar The Big Show recently sat down with Forbes and discusses a number of topics. His relationship with Shaq, Conor McGregor, as well as his current favorite superstars were amongst everything that was discussed.

There has been much confusion as of late as to whether the rumored match between Show and Shaq will be happening at WrestleMania 33. Show has some harsh words for his potential opponent at the “Granddaddy of Them All:”

“I’ll take 12 to 15 minutes of your time, smack you around and send you home to your family,” Show said. “Don’t try to divert the attention by trying to pick on some guy in the NBA. Don’t pick on poor McGee, he’s fine. You started this mess. You got to walk the ramp at WrestleMania, you screwed up my Andre The Giant Battle Royal, you started this. It should have been done years ago. I need closure.”

A few months ago, UFC fighter Conor McGregor made headlines by blasting WWE superstars and saying that he could easily defeat many of their superstars. What does Show think about this?

“Hell No,” Show barked. “Who’s Conor McGregor gonna fight? I’ve dated women bigger than him. What does he weight 135, 145? He reminds me of that little dog that runs around yapping all the time with a cigar in his mouth. He’s a little dog that barks.

He’s an amazing athlete in his weight class, but he starts talking trash to me, Big E Langston, Braun Strowman would floss his teeth with Conor McGregor. I love Conor, I love how he runs his yap, but that’s like me saying I’m going to dunk on Shaq. That’s completely insane. I’ve got a two-inch vertical, you know that.”

One thing that fans are always curious about is who the veteran talent thinks are doing an outstanding job in today’s product. Who are some of The Big Show’s favorites?

“People don’t understand how good Roman is,” Show said. “He’s easy to pick on because he’s good looking and he’s athletic in our society especially with social media. Roman is great to work with, especially if you’re a big guy. If you’re a big guy and a bad guy, and you’re working with Roman Reigns, it’s really easy. Our audience has a way of being misinformed from the wrong people. The internet is filled with so-called experts who couldn’t lace up a pair of boots. He’s getting a lot of grief for stuff that isn’t his fault. It’s the in-thing to boo Roman Reigns. In time, thru Roman’s work ethic, he’ll be able to change a lot of those opinions.

“My two favorites right now are Seth [Rollins] and Roman,” Show said. “Seth is amazing, he does A to Z. He does it in the ring, on the mic, heel and babyface. He’s not finding himself, he’s found himself. As far as cruiserweights, I really love Swann and Neville. I loved that they turned Neville heel. He’s got such an aggressive nastiness. I love it.”

Show also discussed what he wants to do after professional wrestling, The Jetsons movie, and more.
