Big Show Comments on His Favorite and Most Embarrassing WrestleMania Moments of His Career

FOX News held a recent interview with Big Show and some of the topics discussed involved his favorite WrestleMania moment and his most embarrassing WrestleMania moment of his career. Both involved his Sumo match against Akebono at WrestleMania 21 in 2005.

“I’ve had a lot of great WrestleMania moments. I think the WrestleMania I’ll never forget personally was having 40 yards of silk wrapped around me and hauled up my ass when I wrestled Akebono. So I basically was out there in a 40 yards of silk thong. And you know they packed that thing with water. You know the silk tightens. Yeah. Neither did I. And neither did. I just want you to know that day I personally endured a lot of discomfort and pain.”

“My sumo match versus Akebono, where I have 40 yards of silk crammed up my ass and it got down with water and tightened up. I would say that is probably the most embarrassing moment in wrestling. I don’t have an embarrassing moment to tell you the truth. I mean personally I don’t have any ego; I go out there and have fun. So if I’m making fun of myself, if I’m getting sprayed down by a septic truck by Eddie Guerrero, if I’m running around with a Mawashi, which is actually what that’s called, the 40 yards of silk because it’s literally 40 yards wrapped around and around and around. Whatever it is, I’m having fun with it. You know I think that’s the thing that I would advise younger talent to do. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Have fun and be in the moment because the crowd is going to have fun, you know. So if you have fun, the crowd has fun with you.”
