How WWE legend ribbed Big Show with fake entrance music (Exclusive)

Big Show had a storied career in WWE. The former Giant from WCW joined the Stamford-based promotion during the Attitude Era. He went on to win multiple titles, including being a former World Tag Team Champion with The Undertaker.

Speaking of The Undertaker, the Phenom once ribbed Show by having production change his entrance music while the super heavyweight was making his way to the ring for a match in Germany. As JBL recalled on What Were They Thinking? podcast, he and Kurt Angle were in the ring when the production tweaked the music.

"We were, in some arena, in Germany. Big Show comes out. And right in the middle of his entrance, there's 'Hey now, you're an All Star.' Kurt Angle goes, 'What is that?' I said, 'That's Shrek's theme music.' So, Big Show... I've never seen any human being turn red like a tomato instantaneously. His entire body turned red, and he starts sprinting to the ring."

The WWE Hall of Famer said that Show hit him extremely hard because the big man thought JBL pulled the rib before revealing The Undertaker as the mastermind of it all.

"The worst part was.. I'm in the ring. Obviously, I didn't play the music, but he blamed it a 100% on me. And I will never tell who did it, Deadman, that he did it. I may have been in on it, which I was, but I didn't do it, obviously." [From 26:04 onwards]

Big Show is currently signed to AEW. As for The Undertaker, the Hall of Famer continues to make sporadic appearances for the WWE. It remains to be seen if one of these two superstars (or both) will ever confirm what went down in Germany.
