The Big Show appeared on the Sports Talk 790 AM radio program recently and during the show, he spoke at length about many things but the most eyebrow raising revelation was an incident with Hulk Hogan. He was actually kicked off a WCW plane by Hulk Hogan due to his antics.
Over to the main man, "I got in trouble one time. Hogan, Hulkster, used to have a plane after Nitros because of the Turner deal and he flew back to Tampa [Florida] because he told WCW, 'I've got to cook the kids breakfast every morning'. So he left Monday afternoons, wrestled, and went home Monday night, so after Nitros I would get a ride to Tampa. Me, him, and Savage, and another wrestler, Brian Adams, who was a dear friend of mine. He used to be Crush in WWE. Well, Brian's a smart ass. He passed away, but he was a real smart ass and an instigator, a stirrer. I used to do an impersonation of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage in a romantic relationship. I do the impersonations and Brian says, 'oh, you've got to do that for Hulk and Randy, man. They'll love it!' So I was like, 'really?'. He goes, 'dude, just do it on the plane tonight. They'll like it.'
"So we're sitting on the plane. It's a small plane, so there's Hulk, there's Randy, there's Brian, there's me, and we're sitting real close in front of each other and Brian looks at me and gives me the wink. And I'm a dumbass rookie, so what do I do? [In Hogan's voice] 'Whatcha gonna do, Macho, when the largest python in the world comes for you, brother?' [In Savage's voice] 'Ooh yeah, Hulkster. Go to infinity and beyond. Give me the beef, Hulkster.' And believe me, I'm cleaning it up for radio. The version I did [on the plane] was really, really raunchy. And then, I stopped. I had a big grin on my face, and, I mean, I'm getting a dead stare from Hulk [and] a dead stare from Randy. Brian looks at me and goes, 'oh, I can't believe you did that'. Completely through me under the bus! And then, the next week, the pilot, Captain Ron, comes and says 'hey, Giant, I just want to let you know that there are a lot of turbulence going home this week, so if you don't mind, can you catch a commercial flight tomorrow because we're concerned about the weight' and I'm like, 'yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem'. So it's like [for] two months, I was kicked off the plane ride home."
