WWE wrestler Big Show was the "designated media interview" this month promoting the Summerslam PPV. The following are highlights from four more media interviews in addition to the two covered earlier this week.

-- Tim Baines of The Sun newspapers: Show talked about adding "humor" to his character during the current program with C.M. Punk. Show said he doesn't want to be viewed as a one-dimensional big man.

"I am the guy who's going to laugh, the guy who's going to poke fun at himself. But when the handle breaks on one of my bags, when I'm somewhere across the world, I'm going to be the guy who's pissed off. It's the first time I've gotten a chance to go out there and show the fans who I am. I like to have a good time," Big Show said. "Over the years, at times they've wanted to be this aggressive mean killer. That's one-dimensional and boring."

-- ESPN.com's Jon Robinson: Show talked about his interesting journey being in and out of favor with management during his career. He also talked about when he'll know it's time to retire.

"It has been a wild ride from the penthouse to the outhouse and back to the penthouse, that's for sure. I think the key to being successful and staying on top is always evolving and trying to stay fresh," he said. "Hopefully I'll have the good grace to retire before I get to the point where I can't compete where I want to. Sometimes it's hard to let that go, but you really need to know when your time is up and let it go."

Show also talks about recently working with The Miz, the Nexus storyline, his feud with C.M. Punk, and a possible match with NBA star Shaquille O'Neal that was teased last year.

"I think when Shaq decides to step down from his great NBA career, there will always be room for Shaquille O'Neal to come to WWE and try his hand at being a Superstar. I look forward to the day of the Shaq-Big Show re-match," he said. "When he's done with his NBA career I'd love to see him step into the ring at WrestleMania."

-- Brian Fritz on Fanhouse.com: Show talked about the infamous "fall off Cobo Hall" at WCW's Halloween Havoc 1995, his durability, "good enough to keep around" after ten-plus years in WWE, surviving the full-time schedule as a big man crammed into tight spaces on a regular basis, future WWE stars, and other specific wrestling topics. It's one of Show's most in-depth interviews this week in terms of wrestling discussion.

-- Marvel.com: Show talked about World Title aspirations, taking an interesting movie role with "Knucklehead," his comic book collection, and other topics.

"I'd like to have a shot at that title again," he said. "That's the pinnacle. It's why we're in the business. So, yeah, I'll take care of C.M. Punk and then make a run for the championship."
