Even though The Big Show is currently being featured on Monday Night Raw as a legend, he doesn’t like to rest on his laurels.
Big Show is in the Twilight of his career but he isn’t ready to look back just yet. Speaking with Newsweek, Big Show revealed that he doesn’t like to display memorabilia because it means his career is over.
“It’s not something I think about. A lot of guys would have memorabilia around the house or in their office with their championships and action figures and photos—I don’t have all that. I have one photo of myself, John Cena, Undertaker, and Shawn Michaels after WrestleMania in Houston when we were all together. And I have a world championship title up where Paul Heyman and I beat Brock Lesnar at the Garden. And that’s because Paul framed it up nice for me and sent it to me.”
He continued, “I’m afraid that if I sit back and think about being a “legend” and all this other stuff, I’ll lose some of the passion I have for it. And that will come someday, I know it will. I know someday I will have to walk away. But at this point, I’m enjoying every day, every opportunity to be around these amazing, talented, young people.”

As for a potential career as a backstage producer, Big Show has very strong opinions about not wanting a job with WWE in that capacity.
“No. Being a backstage producer, I may as well put my head under a car and back over it. I wouldn’t want the headache that our backstage producers go through.”
He continued, “As far as me: I’m around as long as I’m still able to compete and produce. I know that those times are not as much as they used to be back in the day. Father Time is undefeated, but I’ll always respect and love this business and I’m always around to help anyone, whether it’s a talent from the Cruiserweights on up, I’m willing to help anybody. If the experiences that I’ve been through can help and make things easier, I’m always willing to give it.”
On the July 20 episode of Raw, Randy Orton punted The Big Show in the head, potentially “killing” another WWE legend.
