Big Show Quote;
"Quite frankly, I thought I was bullet proof. 'I'm the Giant,' I'm this, I'm that, 'I'm the most athletic guy for
my size.' I listened to all that hype and B.S. and it developed a real bad case of insecurity with me, because I knew deep
inside I didn't have the background of the guys I was working with, I didn't have the experience, and I didn't have the knowledge.
I didn't know how to go up to an Undertaker, or HHH, and even though these guys are my friends and want me to do well ...
I didn't know how to say, 'Hey, I don't know what to do here. I don't know what to do, I'm lost here, and I'm lost here.'"
"I experienced success at first in the aspect of popularity. My first match was against Hulk Hogan, I won match of
the year, wrestler of the year, and rookie of the year all in the same year."
