A biography for Big Showhasn’t been written yet.
“You don't want to have a fast career for two years. You want to have an amazing career for 20 years.”
“There's a lot of trainers in my career, between Terry Taylor and Arn Anderson, who've always told me to keep my damn feet on the ring mat, and there's just that little kid in me - I may be 45, but there's that little kid in me that, if I get a chance to do some flying, I'm gonna do it.”
“I have a lot of respect for Shaq. He's one of the greatest NBA centers of all time.”
“I like to think, personally, that Shaq got scared. He saw the six-pack and realized if he faced me at WrestleMania, he was going to be Fat Shaq.”
“When I walked down the ramp and stood in the ring, I made other big guys look small.”
“Arn Anderson - I loved 'The Enforcer' Arn. He cut the best promos. He always looked cool because he had that Polo with the rope chain, the rose-colored glasses, and that mean beard.”
“I've had a blessed, blessed, fantastic career. I have no regrets whatsoever in my career.”
“Not everybody is going to be John Cena. Not everybody is going to be The Rock. You need to be what you can be and contribute like you can.”
“You have to look in the mirror and really have an honest conversation with yourself and find the discipline to not eat things that don't agree with you.”
“Not by any means do I think that I'm The Rock or Mark Wahlberg. I understand that I'm not like them, being a leading guy, but I'm a great comedy sidekick, and, who knows, I can be in the X-Men or something.”
“Diversity makes us better and allows us to grow, which is what I want for WWE.”
“I'm an emotional person. Anger and frustration comes out in many ways... I'm not afraid to hug my friends that I love, and I'm not afraid to express my emotions when I'm upset.”
“I do a lot of gaming.”
“At 12, I was, like, 6-2. At 13, I was, like, 6-5 or 6-6. I had always stuck out as a bit of a freak, so athletics gave me a chance to make friends and, I guess, find my 'cool' vibe, if there's such a thing when you're in high school.”
“The Internet connection from the road can be spotty, so usually when I'm on the tour bus, I'm playing 'God of War.'”
“I think I'll always have a home in WWE.”
“I owe my start in professional wrestling to the red-headed kid from 'The Partridge Family.' I was discovered by Hulk Hogan, Jimmy Hart, and Ric Flair in Chicago when I was introduced to those three gentlemen by Danny Bonaduce.”
“A lot of U.K. wrestlers are very good at chain wrestling, telling a story through holds, while American wrestling is a little more flashy, with lots of high-spots.”
“I had a conversation with John Cena, and I told him, 'If only I could be a giant with abs,' and he said, 'Maybe you could be a giant with abs.' That kind of got me thinking that maybe John was onto something, because when it comes to obviously being successful and marketable, John is one of the smartest people I've been around.”
“People always talk about my heel/face turns. One of the jokes in America is I've had more turns than NASCAR.”
