He was very up-and-down. If you could motivate him, he\u2019d be awesome. However, it was easy for him to be unmotivated. If he didn\u2019t feel he was important and wasn\u2019t feeling the love, he could go into cruise control. Bischoff saw that happen in WWE as well. Bischoff was impressed with him headed into WrestleMania. But after he didn\u2019t get his Shaq match, he thought he was less-than-motivated once more. Bischoff says when Show first came to WCW, he could do a kip up. They didn\u2019t have him do it in the ring, though because nobody wants to see a 7-foot guy do gymnastics in the ring. Eric never saw him do a Moonsault, though.
