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.
