In a recent interview on the Steve Austin Show, The Big Show spoke about putting Braun Strowman over and passing the torch, and how he was happy to do it.
Here is what The Big Show had to say on passing the torch:
“My last match was with Braun Strowman and I did the best I could to get him over and pass the big man torch to him, if I had it. Whatever I had to give, I had no problems making him. I think he’s a great guy and a hell of a talent. It was my pleasure to put the guy over and send him on his way and hopefully making him better. So I was happy with that match. It was a hell of a match. If that was my last match, you can’t ask for anything better.”
The Big Show also spoke on Strowman teaming with Nicholas :
“They’d done that great angle with Braun Strowman with a kid for a partner, which was an amazing angle. I mean, what 10-year old kid, what a dream, a pro wrestler picks you out of a crowd and you become tag team champions? It was awesome. They did a great job for Braun because Braun doesn’t need a tag partner.”
Lastly, The Big Show commented on Strowman keeping his monster persona:
“That’s one thing they’re doing right with him, they’re making him a monster. As long as they don’t have him doing stupid stuff, if they keep that monster on him. I mean, I know right now he’s a smiling babyface, which he is a good guy. It’ll be tough for him to sell and get sympathy. We went through that. But if he can keep that monster attitude about it, they’ll do very well. But that was a great opportunity for him.”
