Celebrity Justice
Big Show Accused of Big Conspiracy with WWE

Posted Jun 16th 2009 11:14AM by TMZ Staff

Mega-huge wrestler The Big Show lied when he said he was leaving wrestling for boxing, according to a new lawsuit.

The suit claims the 7' tall, 500 pound behemoth cut a deal with SoBe Entertainment in 2007 to become a boxer. SoBe claims they paid Mr. Show $84,000 a month and fronted him an extra $1 mil for a house.

But SoBe was horrified when B.S. suddenly jettisoned his fighting plan and rejoined the WWE in 2008. To add insult to injury, Show's WWE comeback match was against a boxer -- Mr. Floyd Mayweather.

SoBe alleges Big Show conspired with the WWE to ace them out of its deal.

By the way, the Mayweather/Big Show match grossed the WWE $31,000,000, according to the suit.

11. 31,000,000 To watch Money Mayweather lose... Not going to happen, not against Marquez, not against Pac man.

12. Its ok, Donald Trump is in charge now...

Posted at 5:34PM on Jun 16th 2009 by Your name:

13. 31 million??? Don't they mean 31 dollars. I can't believe people actually watch this trash anymore. The only way I would watch is if Speidi took on Vince and they had to fight until the death.

14. """31,000,000 To watch Money Mayweather lose... Not going to happen""" You're right Moron, it's not going to happen because it already has. I'm sure Vince McMahon laughed all the way to the bank.

15. Trust me hunny I dont have anything to hide. Never once in my post did I mention anything about Show's wrestling abilities, other than the fact he doesnt wear knee pads ever. And how do you know the story is bogus? I mean obviously it caught your eye and you just had to take a look. But you call everyone else haters for dawgin Show??? You are a hypocrite!!! And no I'm not hiding behind any alias! Hazard 503 is one of the top rated wrestlers in the Pacific NW and was of the headliners in Portland Wrestling. Why dont you look him up on youtube!!! You know what we call people like you?? A MARK!!! You believe anything thrown at you! Case in point, you are way too busy swingin off the Show's nuts to actually look up the court documents yourself, seeing as to how they are public record. Like I've said in many post before, you can talk trash about TMZ all you want, but yet you are still on here, reading their stories.... Hypocrites!!! GO TMZ!!!!
