Wrestling fans are well aware that this sport entertainment is often engulfed with politics and ego clashes. When there is too much testosterone in a room, fights may happen for petty reasons! If you do a quick google search, you will find plenty of famous fights that have happened behind the scenes over the years.
Recently, The Great Khali have also shared an incident on Lallantop where he and Big Show were involved in a locker room fight after completing their match and it is hilarious. According to Khali, the backroom feud started because he copied Big Show’s slap on chest move which infuriated the 7 feet 2 inches tall guy. Khali in his own words said
“There is no such thing as copying someone’s move (referring to him performing slap chest move of Big Show in a match). We were performing in Puerto Rico. It was a 6 man tag team match. The reaction that I got while performing that move, Big Show didn’t got the same reaction from the crowd. He thought that he didn’t got the reaction because Khali had copied his move. When we came back to the locker room, he started arguing. He started to hurl abuses. I paid no heed because that’s not my aim. Everyday someone targets someone.”
“So whatever he kept on hurling, I reverted back the same. When I was pulling out my shoes, he came towards me to punch. I leaned back. When I started to stand, he again tried to punch me. This time I punched him and he fell down on the ground. I was on top of him.”
“I gave him 2 – 3 punches and many wrestlers from the Lockeroom came and tried to seperate us. He started crying. He is very soft person. There were so many people. He actually did this in order to dominate me so that youngsters in the lockerroom feels respect for Big Show.”
“He came to dominate me in front of others but the end result was the opposite of what he wanted and he started crying. Undertaker was shaking head looking at the situation as if acknowledging the stupidity of the Big Show.”
“I told him, you can come, I can beat you. I have that much power. We returned back to USA and I told the relationship manager about the incident. I told him that I don’t want to do such job that someone will hit me. I said that I don’t care because I have so many things that I can do. When Big show came, he apologised and said that he is on medicines and going through many issues.”

This is not the first time that Big show was involved in a lockeroom fight. We searched on Google about backstage and locker fights involving Big show and found that the 7 feet 2 monster once tried to annoy Steve Blackman who was resting with a pillow on the floor while Big Show was standing over him. Blackman asked Show to move away a bit which Big Show denied. Blackman then locked both feet of Big show and sweeped him, making Big Show fell on his back. Acknowledging what just happened, Big Show realized that its best not to irritate Blackman and he eventually moved away.
