Former WWE Writer Thought The Big Show Killed a Young Wrestler on WWE Raw

Anyone who watches pro-wrestling for the first time will wonder how the individuals take the smashes, falls, and hits. In fact, when Freddie Prinzr Jr. joined WWE as a writer, he witnessed The Big Show smashing a local through a table. He thought the former WWE Superstar had killed someone.

During his session with Paul Wight (Big Show) on Wrestling with Freddie, the former WWE writer detailed the experience of watching Wight smash a local through a table.

“I remember saying on the mic, oh, shit. And it looked like he died. I was new to the business. Okay, so I was like, I was like, ‘Oh, my God’ and in my head I’m like, he said, he was gonna protect this man and the man is, he’s dead. They’re dragging the guy backstage”

“I get up when he comes back, I ran up to him. I was like, ‘Oh, my God, man. Are you okay? Are you alright?’ And he’s like, ‘Yeah, I’m good. I’m fine, man’. I was like, What? No, you’re good. And he’s like, Yeah, good. And I turn around, and Vince is just laughing at me, right? Like, I’m just a complete rookie, moron.” H/t Wrestling with Freddie

Freddie Prinze Jr. frustrated The Big Show with his writing in WWE

When Prinze Jr. joined the company, he did not know which Superstar was more comfortable with what. Therefore, he ended up writing a four page segment for The Big Show. This was at a time when Big Show hadn’t done a lot of talking on Raw for months.

When the former Superstar realized he had to memorie quite a bit, he stormed into the writers’ room and demanded to know who wrote the segment. Upon learning it was a new joinee, he calmed down.

During the session, Paul Wight revealed that he thought it was one of the other writers who was trying to cut his head off. Hence, when he realized Freddie Prinze Jr. would not do that upon just joining the company.
