Speaking of the "Please Retire" chants:
Big Show on Wrestling for 20 Years, Reaction to the "Please Retire" Chants, Heel and Face Turns - PWPIX.net
You won the second annual André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 31 and will face Ryback and The Miz for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam. From what you’ve said, it sounds like you’re not planning for life after WWE just yet, so what do you think of some fans chanting ‘please retire’? Do you find it disrespectful, or do you think it’s a sign you are doing your job well?
No, I think I’m doing my job as a heel. I think a lot of it too is just a way for the audience to have fun. I mean, let’s face it, I don’t have people coming up to me in the street telling me to please retire, I have people I meet in person who are thankful for everything I’ve done and they appreciate it. I think that’s just the audience having fun and when they chant that, I’m going to react to them and be engaging and have fun with them and tell them I’m going nowhere. I’m going to be a bad guy and react appropriately.
I think everything comes to an end and eventually I’m going to retire out of this industry, I don’t think I’m going to do any big retirement tours or farewell, I’m just going to kind of slide out the door and I’ll be gone. That’s the way I like to do things, nice and quiet, not a lot of fanfare, and just roll on to the next evolution of whatever else it is I’m doing, movies or TV. Then maybe come back and do some commentating, stuff like that. I’ll always be a part of this business, I love it, I love helping young talent and I love the fans, whether I’m a good guy or a bad guy, but all good things come to an end eventually.
