Norton says that Big Show was a super athlete and he had amazing potential as an arm wrestler. He remembers wrestling Big Show one night and he did a kip-up. It was remarkable to see a man of his size execute such an acrobatic move.
Norton is asked why he has never had an action figure. He says he has no idea, but he knows that just because you’re a big star in Japan doesn’t mean you’re going to get an action figure. The Japanese wrestling companies often push the Japanese stars more, so those performers are more likely to have action figures.
He mentions that he’s working an upcoming tag match with X-Pac. He loves being around the guys now and although they mightn’t tear the house down like they used to, it’s still going to be fun. X-Pac laughs and says they’re still going to tear the house down. Both men are really looking forward to working with each other.
Norton admits that wrestling is hell, and it’s really hard on your body. He notes that a wrestler’s mindset never changes, but at some point you just need to realize that you need to slow down. He thinks all wrestlers have their aches and pains, but that’s just part of it and complaining doesn’t do anyone any good.
That sums up this week’s episode of X-Pac 1, 2, 360. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
