Paul Wight, formerly known as The Big Show, has had a legendary career as a big man. This has lead to some interesting storylines for the former world champion in the world of pro wrestling, including a storyline with Floyd “Money” Mayweather for WrestleMania 24
The Big Show, however, claimed on Submission Radio that the fight was originally planned as a tag team match. To take on Batista and Rey Mysterio, the former champion was to team up with the boxer. Wight went on to say that Rey Mysterio and Batista’s injuries ruined the planned plans.
“Originally, I think that was supposed to be Floyd against Batista and Rey [Mysterio]. It was supposed to be a tag originally and then there was a series of injuries. I think Dave [Batista] got hurt really bad, either tore a lat or a bicep and the same thing happened with Rey, and all this happened before we got to kick the angle off. So when they presented the opportunity, hey, will you work with him one-on-one? I’m like, hell yes, I’ll work with him, whatever you guys want to do.”
