“I was 6'2'' at twelve. At fourteen I was 6'8''. It was nothing for me in high school to eat four Big Macs, two fish sandwiches, two large fries, and a large shake, and twenty minutes later, play a basketball game like nothing was wrong."
2. The Time He Had to Kiss a “Big Ho”!"I was totally cool with the idea of wearing gold chains, dancing, and playing up the role, but the problem was me kissing another woman on a night Bess was sitting backstage."
3. The Time Big Show Lost His Lunch"Their car is only maybe six feet in front of our hood, so I gun the cheeseburger at them and splatter it all over their rear window."
4. Big Show Shares His Most Peculiar Bathroom Moments"The bathroom door was about half as wide and a foot or so shorter than regular doors I was used to. The bathroom itself was maybe six feet by five and a half feet with both a bathtub and a toilet in it. To call this bathroom small is an understatement!"
