Big Show gives Hunter Credit for Saving his Match
Floyd Mayweather Jr. was raving to everyone about how much fun he had wrestling Big Show and said would love to come back. The feeling backstage was that the bout was entertaining and both did a great job. Triple H worked with both men all weekend plotting out the match.
Big Show was not shy about giving credit to Triple H for "saving" the match from disaster. Triple H was brought into the picture recently to devise the match and communicate how to execute it to Mayweather.
