Bruce Prichard Reveals the Reason Behind Big Show’s Inclusion In WWE’s Version of the nWo
On the latest edition of his podcast, Something to Wrestle With, Bruce Prichard revealed the real reason behind Big Show’s inclusion in the abomination that was the WWE’s nWo.
According to Prichard, the decision was made because Nash was injured and the company needed someone to work matches.
Prichard said: (quotes credit 411mania)
“It was so bad, [WWE thought], ‘Hey. We lost one seven-foot [giant], let’s put another seven-foot [giant] in there. And you replace one with another. And people won’t notice.’ You’re just trying to save something, and you’re trying to complete that vision. Sometimes, it just doesn’t work.”
Prichard also admitted that the idea wasn’t executed well and had “scotch tape booking” where in everything changed drastically in five months of that stable’s existence.
Austin Aries Says He’s Not Taking Time Off
While speaking to Josh Barnett of USA Today, Austin Aries addressed reports that he was taking time off from WWE soon. He explained that the quote from the interview he was featured in was taken out of context.
“If you look at the full quote and what I said was, Everyone is dealing with various stuff,” Aries said. “I don’t think there is anyone in the locker room is 100%. We’re all nicked and banged up to various degrees. Like anything else, you pick and choose the times you need address when it needs to be addressed and some times are better than others. I figure no matter what interview I do, the real good ‘journalists’ are going to find the completely irrelevant quotes that will drum up some controversy and stick it on their page to get some clicks and completely miss the real context of what the interview is about. That’s what we do nowadays and call it ‘journalism.’”
