[Asmo]

So this is happening:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/hkCKIzJCEmY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

And, i get to meet & interview The Big Show on Friday thanks to the lifestyle / entertainment show i produce for CNBC-TV18. What do i ask him?

Constraints: PG-only, Can't get too much in to wrestling / sports-entertainment history, Has to be quick, short, and snappy. Like a fast-five.

So far, i've got:
1. I remember watching a segment about your daily activities where you made, and ate a toothpaste sandwich. Do you still do and recommend that?

P.S. Yes, i'm gloating. All help appreciated.

[Brigstocke]

Ask him what Akebono's armpit smells like?

[Kris P Lettus]

Ask him if he remembers me trying to peer pressuring him into smoking weed with me at the Knucklehead wrap party.

[road doggy dogg]

If you could get a signed photo of him clinging onto his father's casket while Big Bossman drove the hearse away, I will pay you many American dollars for it

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

How he feel that he cockblocked Daniel Bryan's title feud with Randy Orton at Survivor Series?

Why isn't the WMD an automatic DQ for a closed fist?

[Shadrick]

Ask him what he thinks WWE is lacking right now.

[Impeccable]

Who was his favourite tag partner? He has tagged with Undertaker, Jericho, The Miz and Kane and won titles with all of them.

[Impeccable]

Ask him about Floyd - what was working with Mayweather like?

[Heisenberg]

Ask him if he remembers eating a bunch of cheeseburgers with me and the other troops in Iraq back in 2003 when they came for the tribute show.

[Impeccable]

Not sure if it's appropriate, but something I really want to know is about his weight loss when he took time out of the business. He came back and looked amazing, and now he has packed it all back on (and then some).

I don't understand why WWF(e) kept sending him away from TV to drop weight, then he does it, and then the powers that be just let him stay the way he is currently for an extended run.

Not sure there was a question in there...

[Droford]

Wish him a belated (6 days ago Friday ) happy birthday

[Innovator]

Who has the better big and tall fashion, him or Mark Henry?

[Jura]

When are you going to retire?

[Fignuts]

Ask him what Joy Giavanni's snatch feels like.

[DaveWadding]

Ask him if he can still break off a moonsault.

[Juan]

How he feel that he cockblocked Daniel Bryan's title feud with Randy Orton at Survivor Series?

Why isn't the WMD an automatic DQ for a closed fist?

You're the worst

[Bad News Gertner]

Ask him if he can still break off a moonsault.

Lol was just about to type that.

[Bad News Gertner]

I remember he got huge due to binging on pizza.

I need to know his ideal pizza.

[GD]

Ask him to explain his rude condescending demeanor

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol kayfabe lives

[GD]

Kayfabe was alive for me back then :(

I refuse to move on :mad:

[Bad News Gertner]

He should come on the show and cut a promo " Your cricket team sucks! Sachin Tendulkar bats like a one armed Vishnu!"

[Bad News Gertner]

I also need his thought on Team Gorm

[Disturbed316]

Ask him if he needs the services of an experienced waterboy?

[Lock Jaw]

Ask him what size diaper he had to wear for New Years.

[Curd]

Did Stephanie McMahon really puncture his ear drum with her slap, or did it break due to unrelated events?

If so, then Steph acted carelessly. It's been ten years since she wrestled, but come on!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

You're the worst

I really want the 2nd one asked. You can ignore the first one.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Austin never got DQ'd for closed fists, nor did Rock, Cena or Regal or anyone ever in modern wrestling.

[The Rogerer]

Ask him if he remembers Richard Blackwood.

RB did a documentary where he met Big Show and interviewed him around 2001. Unsurprisingly Blackwood seemed completely baffled by the concept of wrestling. At the end of the programme he was in the crowd as Big Show was at a PPV, already tense that he was only allowed to capture a certain amount of footage of himself, and at a point in the match Show fell out of the ring and Blackwood looked beyond embarrassed, like he had just interviewed the biggest loser in the world and was desparately trying to get the camera off him.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Austin never got DQ'd for closed fists, nor did Rock, Cena or Regal or anyone ever in modern wrestling.

Austin and the rest had it opened a bit. (maybe not regal)

[Anybody Thrilla]

Regal used brass fucking knuckles and got away with it.

[Phillip Brooks]

Ask him, how much toilet paper he goes through a day.

[road doggy dogg]

also how big is his cock

[Swiss Ultimate]

Regal used brass fucking knuckles and got away with it.

The refs just thought he was an excellent puncher.

Also, Austin and Rock did not open hand punch at all.

[Anybody Thrilla]

The only time Rocky opened his hand was to spit in it before closing it into a fist.

[Swiss Ultimate]

STD is on a weird kick. He negged me and then called Flair a goat. This punch thing is pretty strange.

[Shisen Kopf]

Ask him when is he ever gonna use the Captain Insano gimmick. After you ask him how nig it is, of course.

[Bad News Gertner]

What part of the youtube clip does Big Show answer STD's claims that his KO punch is illegal?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Before he got kayfabe fired I thought it was part of his iron-clad contract.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

While I was typing that i was watching WM5 and Jesse Ventura said "That was a closed fist totally illegal." You all know more than Jesse Ventura? No. You don't.

[Droford]

They might have changed the rules in 25 years too

[Asmo]

A big thanks to all of the help here. Here are some of the answers (a gist of Show's answers, to be fair) to the Qs i could manage to ask him in the 5 minutes i had with him, along with rolling the links + promo for TV.

Asmo Asks:
I remember watching a segment about your daily activities where you made, and ate a toothpaste sandwich. Do you still do and recommend that?
Answer: No, doesn't do it. Wouldn't recommend it. But had to do it since there wasn't any other option at that point in life.


Brigstocke Asks:
Ask him what Akebono's armpit smells like?
Answer: Really, you're really interested in knowing that?

SlickyTrickyDamon Asks:
Why isn't the WMD an automatic DQ for a closed fist?
Answer: Remind me later to ask Vince.

Impeccable Asks:
Who was his favourite tag partner?
Answer: Kane.

DaveWadding Asks:
Ask him if he can still break off a moonsault.
Answer: Probably not, but never say never.

Some random thoughts before / during / after the meet:
- His personal bodyguard is an ex-Army man, who apparently, is MMA-trained. Reminded me of 'Vincent' from Total Divas though.
- Show is HUGE. His fist is bigger than my face. Scary. Though i expected this, meeting him face to face intimidates you no-end.
- That being said, he was extremely humble, down-to-earth, and well, thankful for being able to do what he's doing. Very easy to talk to, and well, loves to talk.
- Prefers to be addressed 'Paul'.
- Saw my replica 'belt' and chastised me for calling it a 'belt'. "You can't ever refer to that (pointing to the WHC replica) as a belt. A belt holds up your pants. If you are a champ, and Vince ever hears you referring to it as a 'belt', it'll be off you within the next week."
- 5 minutes went by in a flash.

Readily agreed to do a promo with me as a tease-in for our show. The segment's called 'Get A Life', and I'm not really an on-air talent. Oh well.

[Brigstocke]

Its OK Asmo, You are alive and kicking to me and I'm a much more glamorous poster/wordsmith/human than this Shadrick gadgie.

[GD]

Asmo definitely looks like Eddie Guerrero :y:

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol I love how Asmo said it wasn't going to be a smark interview and then he asks Big Show why isn't his WMD a dq haha

Asmo moaning at the 18th second mark is kinda amusing.
