Big Show Talks NXT Having Hipper Crowds Than WWE, Lack of True Heels in Wrestling, DDP Talks Randy Savage Taking the Diamond Cutter

Big Show Interview

WWE star Big Show recently appeared on “The Steve Austin Show” podcast at PodcastOne.com, and below are some interview highlights:

On WWE NXT having hipper crowds than WWE:

“They’re a more hip crowd. We have a lot of families. We have dads come in with six or seven kids, the nephews and the cousins and the sons and daughters. So we have a lot of little kids there, which is fantastic because I love them being a part of the product and I love putting on shows for them. But the fire and the energy we used to get in the Attitude Era when we were working towards that 18 to 35 crowd, that was a different energy crowd. A lot of these crowds that we have now are the younger kids because they’re so excited to be there. Now, the NXT crowd isn’t pulling the younger kids.”

On the lack of true heels in wrestling nowadays:

“The business has changed, absolutely, because here’s the thing. We structured our business so that the referee has integrity now, which I have a huge problem with. But I don’t give a s–t about the referee. I really don’t. I like when heels get heat. I mean, we have a lot of kids now and they don’t understand heat. They don’t understand it. I mean, there’s the guy you’re supposed to boo. They get it, but most of our guys are supposed to be babyfaces. Bray Wyatt got the coolest entrance of anybody next to maybe Undertaker, but it’s hard for him to be a heel because he cuts fantastic promos. He [has] got a cool gimmick! I mean, he’s not the prettiest guy on the planet, I get it, but he’s a hell of a worker. He’s got snap. He’s got fire. He cuts great promos. How do you hate a guy like that?”
