Big E: Being A Meaty Man Is A State Of Mind, It's Not Just About Your Physical Vessel

Big E talks MEAT.

Even with Big E out of action, big meaty men are continuing to slap meat across the world across a number of promotions. Only a few days ago, AEW filed to trademark the term 'Meat Mayhem' after filing for a trademark on 'Meat Madness' back in March.

While speaking to Adrian Hernandez with Unlikely for a recent interview, Big E was asked to explain what a meaty man is and what a meaty man match is like.

“A meaty man to me is just a burly man, and honestly, sometimes, it’s really a state of mind too. It’s not just about your physical vessel, and of course, that is important. I’m looking for people with big chests put together. You could be brolic, you could be all muscle, you could have a little heft to you. You could have a little blubber to you, that’s cool too. But if you come with the mindset of a man who is hefty, a man who shall not be moved, but instead I’m gonna move you, a mover of other men, yeah. also, I think it can extend to women as well. But anyways, it’s just about that. It’s about being stout. You can be ground-based. You can be a bit of a high-flier, too. We got some big, meaty men who like to jump off ropes and jump off things as well. That’s fine. But it’s about a mind state of stoutness, like I’m gonna get in the gym, Imma put on some weight, and Imma make sure that the earth, when I move, the earth feels me, that gravity knows who I am, gravity knows your name. That’s a meaty man. A meaty man match is just at least two of those people colliding, [claps his hands]. That’s what I want to hear. That’s the collision, when they slap, [claps again], that’s the meat slapping. That’s what it sounds like."

Elsewhere in the interview, Big E stated that he's content in life with his current situation. Learn more about those comments here.
