Big Show Admits Truth Behind the Famous Lesnar Ring Collapse Match
Big Show was the guest on Chris Jericho’s “Talk is Jericho” podcast last week, and he finally revealed the truth behind the famous ring collapse during a June 12th, 2003 Smackdown match against Brock Lesnar.
While Big Show has maintained for years in interviews that the ring collapse was not planned, and was a total shoot, Show revealed on Jericho’s podcast that the ring was in fact rigged to collapse:
“We did a spot right before we broke the ring where we’re both down and they shoot a close up of both of us selling,” said Big Show. “In that time, Ellis [Edwards, WWE’s then Stunt Coordinator] had airbags under the ring. So they had lifted the ring a couple inches. When I’m standing on that top corner, that ring is like standing on marbles. Because it’s moving. Of course now I’ve got my fat ass up in the air, 500 pounds on a not very stable surface. So then the ring broke. You don’t know how the stunt is going to look. It was so perfectly timed the way we did it and Ellis did a great job of setting up. That thing collapsed and everybody they bought it so long.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
