The Big Show is in Toronto this weekened and after throwing the
opening pitch at the Blue Jay game did a one-on-one interview with
TSN.ca/Wrestling (

) .
ZZzIn the interview, Big Show talks about his character changing
from WCW to WWE as he believes he has done what creative has wanted
him to do, from being the Big Scary monster to the Funny guy. When
asked about his favourite character, Big Show breaks into his Hogan
impersonation and then says that he perfers to be the persona where
fans think he is crazy (Heyman). They move onto Bradshaw in Germany
and show says that Bradshaw is a very intellegent and carrying
person. Show says that Bradshaw was probably only doing what hs
character is supposed to do and something Bradshaw must have
thought would help his character but the rest of the world didn't
see it like that. Show says he may have crossed the line but says
Bradshaw wouldnt mean to affend people to that magnatiude. There is
a difference between trying to piss someone off and actually
hurting your fan, and they dont want the later because it is bad
for the fan base. Show things it was a quick decision in the heat
of the monent that turned out really bad and he doesn't think it
was done with intent and it was just a mistake. Show says they have
to push the limits but they are working towards going back to old
school values. It is compared to when a heel comes out and makes
fun of the home sports team, such as saying The Blue Jays sucks but
it wares off on people now and isn't as effective so they have to
do new and more interesting things. Show says that with all the
things going on, there is no substitue for quality entertaining and
Bradshaw didn't really mean what he did. He compares it to when you
are a kid and you do something really bad and later upon reflection
you can't believe you did what you did.Lastly about his health,
Show said they had to drill his kneecap cause it was right down to
bone on bone. Surgery was really good, he has lost 30 points and he
is looking to come back in Augest or September. Show says he
expects to be going back to Smackdown.
