The Big Show who currently works in the AEW under his real name Paul Wight recently spoke to MuscleManMalcolm’s program where he revealed that he used to people that he was Kevin Nash when he was in the World Championship Wrestling WCW. He said;
“Back in the day and WCW before Kevin Nash came around, for a long time, people thought I was Kevin Nash. I remember Kevin pulled me to the side many years ago, because I was single at the time, and we were running around crazy.
“I used to go to all the bars and stuff and I tell everybody I was Kevin Nash. Well, I was getting him in trouble at home. Because all these people are calling and saying, ‘Hey, Kevin was at this bar in St. Louis. Hey, Kevin is at this bar.’ and Kevin’s like, ‘I was in my room.”
“So Kevin said ‘Hey, man, you quit telling people you’re me. I was like, ‘Oh, alright, my bad.’ So, but yeah, it happens. I mean, I think sometimes being compared to someone else, or confused or someone else, you’ve sparked something in someone’s mind. You know, I mean, I still have people on this day that refer to me as Andre, and, you know, I don’t think I look anything like Andre.”
