WWE Superstar Big Show recently appeared on SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio. The star of Netflix’s ‘The Big Show Show’ appeared on Sirius to discuss a number of topics from his recent career in the company.
One of the points brought up was Big Show’s WWE Championship match against Drew McIntyre. Technically, the match was shown on the RAW following ‘Mania. But with the staging still set up with the WrestleMania styling? It was arguably the main event of night 2.
Big Show’s Personal Take
The fact that the match took place with no crowd in attendance was mentioned, and Big Show said that he and other Superstars are just getting on with the show. “A lot of people are making a really big deal about it” Big Show began.
“My personal take on this might be a little bit different. I am very proud of WWE and our talent that are doing everything they can during these crazy times to give people a show. Just give them a product and were able to pull off a WrestleMania. And to also complete a lot of those storylines and angles that went on all year.”
Younger Talent
Big Show would also discuss the younger talent in WWE, and how he believes that the current situation in the world will actually help them. “I think the empty arena and working in the ring with your opponent is going to make our younger talent a lot better” Big Show stated. “Because you really see your businesses exposed when you don’t have a crowd to hide your mistakes. You don’t have a crowd that can boost along your story. You can’t stop your foot on the mat and get them going or clap your hands or scream at the crowd.”
Show elaborated further, saying “it is these shortcuts that get the live audience involved. To steer them where you want to steer them in the match.”
Big Show would finish by saying that without these shortcuts the only way to get the audience at home involved is your ability to work during the bout. “The only way you can steer them with your match now? It’s actually by your work in the ring.”
