The Big Show Responds To Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against WWE

As noted, the family of the late Matt Osborne filed a lawsuit last month against WWE alleging negligence and fraud related to "mistreatment of Matthew Osborne which ultimately resulted in Matthew Osborne's wrongful death." Osborne is best known as the original Doink the Clown.

TMZ asked The Big Show about the lawsuit, which you can watch in the video above. Big Show noted that wrestlers need to take responsibility for the decisions that they make in their lives.

"I think that everybody who steps through those ropes knows what could possibly happen," Big Show says. "You gotta accept that responsibility as a talent if you step those ropes, whether you're a boxer, ultimate fighter or sports entertainer.

"I'm sorry for people's loss. I go through it too, I've got [problems with my] knees, back... but that's the decision I made to do what I do for a living. You can't blame everybody else for stuff that you chose to do."

Big Show also stated that WWE takes care of the talent more than companies did in the past.

"I've seen how much they've gone above and beyond to take care of the talent and do everything they can where no one ever did that before."
