As announced by AEW, former WWE Superstar Paul Wight, aka The Big Show, will make his first live appearance for the company on the next installment of Dynamite.
The AEW signing of the former WWE Superstar was the most astonishing news story of the last few days, and several members of the wrestling community have commented on the development.
Ric Flair has now weighed his thoughts on Big Show at AEW during a recent conversation with David LaGreca and Bubba Ray Dudley on SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio.
The WWE Hall of Famer revealed that while he’s been spending a lot of time with Big Show lately, he didn’t know that Wight was headed to AEW.
‘No, I did not. I’ve been to Big Show a lot lately and we’ve been friends for a long time. I remember the night he walked into Chicago, Horizon. I was struggling with Hogan that night, and he came in with a friend and was introduced to us. “
Ric Flair had a lot of admiration for Paul Wight, and he also revealed if he knew of the Superstar’s intentions to leave WWE.
Flair may be heavily involved with WWE these days, but he doesn’t feel the need to rummage around backstage for information. The Nature Boy remembered last meeting Big Show on WWE’s Legends Night episode of RAW.
“He was just a great boy, and he’s still a great guy, but I don’t know what happened. I’m not trying to ask, you know we were going to get where we all knew we were there. all the time, and I’ve been there many times But now I find it’s a different world and I better not ask Instead of looking and trying to catch up I pretend I’m there, say hello and all. To answer your question, I was alone with him, and I didn’t see it happen. He didn’t say a word to me, and I was with him, some two weeks ago, three weeks ago, and whenever they Legends had Runion, he was there. “
Do I wish I could stay with us personally? Yes: Ric Flair on Paul Wight’s decision to leave WWE
