"Under my skin? Na, it amuses me," Big Show said. "Why would I retire? Would that help the WWE Universe make the bad man go away? I'm not gonna retire and nobody can make me retire. I've been in this business for 20 years. I have fought, I have clawed and I have dug to get to my position and to keep my position. And why would I give it up when I'm still making so much money and I'm still dominating? Why retire? Never."

Big Show turned his attention to the Triple Threat Match that will see him battle The Miz and Intercontinental Champion Ryback for the gold on July 19 at Battleground at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

Big Show said Miz had no business interjecting himself into the match or the title picture.

"Do you think Miz should be a part of this match?" Big Show asked. "This is a Triple Threat for the Intercontinental Championship. What part of threat does Miz pose? The best thing Miz can do is hide somewhere and pray he doesn't get caught between Ryback and I and get torn in half. Miz has no business being around the Intercontinental Championship, nor does he have any business in this match. Somehow he weaseled his way in, I'm pretty sure he's gonna be sad he's even involved."

The former WWE Champion then spoke about Ryback and wanting to take the gold from The Big Guy.

"Ryback thinks he's hungry, Ryback has no idea what it takes to compete at this level," Big Show said. "Ryback's like a dog chasing a car. He thinks he wants to catch the car, he doesn't realize when he catches the car, he has no idea what to do with it. That Intercontinental Championship belongs to some of the greatest champions of all time. Pat Patterson, Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat. In my career, I've only held that championship once. And Ryback wants to lay claim to the prestige of that title? Na, I don't think so. Ryback has no business having the Intercontinental Championship. Everyone has a sad story, so what?"

Big Show also called Ryback a "fraud," a "flash in the pan" and said he "doesn't belong" in the WWE and lastly, he hinted at The Authority being in his corner.

"How do you think I've lasted this long? Twenty years at the top," Big Show said. "...I've lasted at the top because I have friends, very close friends. Friends that are at the top."
