Paul Wight: “I personally have almost peed myself several times on of my own pyro back in the day”
In a video published to the Sky Sports YouTube channel, “The Big Show” Paul Wight commented on whether wrestlers get scared by the pyro at shows…
“Yes, I personally have almost peed myself several times on of my own pyro back in the day. Especially if I’m having a conversation and not paying attention. I’m up next, and the pyro goes off. Gets me every time.
Oh, it’s super loud. It’s basically like a cannon blast going off right under you. And if you’re like five feet away from it and not ready for it—because usually you open your jaw and plug your ears, and they’ll have a red light flashing to let you know pyro is going off in 20 seconds.
But sometimes the light doesn’t work, and you’re running your mouth, not paying attention. Then all of a sudden—bam—it goes off.
You’re like, ‘Ah, great. I just tinkled.'”
