Big Show recently sat down with WWE Now India to discuss career advice he received from The Big Bossman and Randy “Macho Man” Savage.
One of the earlier pieces of advice I got was from the legendary Big Boss Man, Ray Traylor. I had been in the business for about six months, maybe, and then was when I was in WCW. And I was going into a gym and Boss Man was coming out and we talked a little bit – he was a super nice guy. He said ‘Kid, I’m gonna tell you something….be nice to everyone and be humble on the way up, because you meet the same people on the way down.’ And he’s right because no one stays on top forever. The mountain top is always changing. So, if you’re rude and a jerk on the way to the top, there’s no support for you when you have to step aside for someone else. And it was just strong advice about treating people the way you want to be treated. That and Macho Man Randy Savage used to tell me all the time ‘Keep that credit card in your wallet and don’t try to run with the Joneses….save your money, kid.’ So that was Macho, all the time. I think Macho still had his tooth fairy money. He was extremely frugal.
It’s never bad to receive advice from WWE Hall Of Fame talent. Obviously, the advice has worked well as Paul Wight has enjoyed a very long career in the industry and has been long seen as a leader in the locker room. Wight will certainly find his way into the WWE Hall of Fame as soon as his storied career is officially over.
