Dans une entrevue pour Digital Spy, afin de promouvoir le film “Vendetta” (produit par WWE Studios), Big Show en a profité pour faire le point sur sa carrière.
Selon lui, les fans le prennent trop pour acquis. Il considère que ses présences à la télévision de la WWE devraient être plus espacées afin que ça devienne des événements.
Il ajoute qu’à 43 ans, les tournées deviennent de plus en plus difficiles. Big Show se voit même éventuellement dans un rôle de commentateur.
“I think so – I think the uniqueness and the special things that I bring to WWE is sometimes a little bit downplayed because you see me every week. I think that’s one of the things that will happen to me eventually. I’m going to start not being on our programming as much, not being on TV every week. Hopefully when I do get a chance to come back, I’ll be able to have a little bit more impact and a little bit more fun. That’s part of what I should have been doing my whole career anyway. I think quite frankly I have been on TV too much, but part of it is necessity and part of it’s ability. I’m able to work, I am able to get other talent over. I am able to carry storylines. When you’re good at what you do you’re going to work. That’s a good thing. But from the standpoint of being an attraction, sometimes too much isn’t good. So it’s a difficult fine line. I’ve had a great career with it and been very happy, I’m not complaining, but I think as I’m getting older – I’m 43 now – I don’t wanna be on the road five days a week anymore. I really don’t. It’s one of those kind of things. I have time left on my contract here and I’ll work that out, and when that contract ends I’ll always be a part of WWE as long as they want me, but I think I’ll go into more of a limited role. Who knows? Maybe even go into commentating or something like that. Maybe I could do pay-per-view commentating or something – special event commentating. I’ve only got three moves! I’ve only had three moves for 20 years so I don’t think I can do much more.”
Big Show ajoute que la retraite fait de plus en plus partie de ses projets. Il affirme avoir eu une belle carrière, mais rien n’est éternel. Le géant se dit prêt à faire la transition entre sa vie de lutteur et un autre domaine, vraisemblablement en cinéma ou à la télévision.
“I think absolutely. I’ve had a fantastic career – I’m still competing on a full-time schedule, but nothing good lasts forever. So eventually I’m going to have to transition out of this industry and do something else that’s entertaining and exciting for me.
“I think a natural evolution for me would be to try to transfer over into the film and TV world and start playing different characters. Hopefully that way I can keep entertaining my fans that are fans of me, in different avenues and different spotlights. It’s a natural evolution.
