The Big Show spoke about why Vince McMahon was mad at him before Wrestlemania 21 when he wrestled Akebono in a sumo match when he was a recent guest on Steve Austin’s podcast, The Steve Austin Show. Here is what he said (via Wrestling INC):

“I think my heaviest I was 537 lbs. When I did that match with Akebono, I think Akebono, for a shoot, weighed 488 [lbs.] and I weighed 509 [lbs.] because I remember Vince being pissed at me because Akebono was supposed to weigh more than me. And [McMahon] looks at me and goes, ‘509 lbs.?’ He shook his head and walked off. I was like, ‘I’m a quarter-ton of fun! What do you want me to say?’”
