Big Show talks about taking time away from WWE, his future and more
On Wednesday, December 6, 2006 at 1:12 PM EST WWE.com has an article up confirming earlier reports here on WrestleView.com that The Big Show will be taking time away from wrestling. The article features quotes from Big Show regarding his decision. Here are some highlights below:
On his decision to take time off from wrestling:
"I think every athlete reaches a point in their career when he really has to check himself and evaluate what is going on. Anybody who knows me knows I need a break. People go through life so fast sometimes they miss it; I just want to put on the breaks."
On some recent injuries he has been going through:
"I’ve reached a point in my career right now where I am a little run down and hurt pretty bad physically. I’ve been wrestling the past three months pretty much in pain every night. I can’t compete at the level I want to compete at, and that’s the most heartbreaking thing."
On a possible involvement with WWE Films:
"I want to reinvent myself if possible, and find out who Big Show really is. I’d like to do a WWE movie – a comedy – because I have a pretty good sense of comedic timing. I’m a pretty humble, lovable, funny, easy-going guy with a short fuse. Then again, like Chris Rock said, nobody wants to laugh at a big guy who could beat your ass."
