The Big Show Discusses The Ring Collapse Incident, More

During his recent appearance on Talk is Jericho, The Big Show discussed the famous ring collapse during a June 12th, 2003 Smackdown match against Brock Lesnar. Show admitted for years that when fans asked about the incident that he would say that it was a shoot. Here is what he had to say during the interview…

“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. 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.”
