In the first SmackDown of 2012, World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan will face Big Show, the very Superstar against whom he cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to capture the title. Although Bryan has built his career around defying odds and silencing naysayers, how can he topple The World’s Largest Athlete this Friday night?

 

Earlier this morning, Big Show did a live chat on “The State”, you can check out what people asked and what he had to say below!

 

Like Andre the Giant, the Big Show Paul Wight has acromegaly or gigantism where the pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone. Although he had successful surgery in the early 1990s on his pituitary gland, halting the progress of the condition, it still must be monitored...

THE closest I had ever come to getting into a full-contact tangle with any muscleman was when I arm-wrestled Hrithik Roshan for an UpperCrust cover story in the monsoon of 2000. Hrithik, 6 feet tall and pumped up with iron and Myoplex, was no pushover. But I held my own. Long enough for a picture to be taken, anyway.

Yep, The Giant is one big boy, one REALLY BIG one. Just consider how big this behemoth really is...

2) Get Federation Superstars to guest star on your other shows.
