During the podcast, the Big Show and Jericho had an interesting discussion about some of today’s WWE stars compared to their experience coming up in the business.
Big Show says that when he first came to WWE, he was constantly getting criticized by Vince McMahon and the Undertaker. He says that getting chewed out helped him to become the performer that he is today because it challenged him:
“It seemed like to me, everything I did was wrong. And in essence, yeah everything I did do was wrong until finally I settled in and got it together and understood. There was too many variables to everything that you’re doing. Bump for this guy, don’t bump for this guy. Sell for this guy, don’t sell for this guy, eat this guy up. Sell like there’s no tomorrow for this guy. Be an athlete, don’t jump off the top rope. There were so many different things going on. Personally, it attacked the hell out of me and it was very difficult to get over. It’s one of those things where you’re getting your ass chewed out and you don’t know why, but the last thing you can do is ask why because it’ll show just how big of an idiot you really are. You just have to nod your head, hope you filter it and go out there and figure it out”
He continued, saying that the new kids today can’t take being chewed out:
“These new kids don’t really have that problem because they’re catered to. They get everything explained to them, it gets broken down, they sit down and they watch videos, and if they mess up, they get patted on the back, “well it’s OK, this is what you do next time.” They can’t take an ass-chewing. That’s one thing about the new kids, they can’t take an ass-chewing because they fold like aluminum foil”
