He said what?

WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston is 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs in at 218 pounds. While he's a big guy in the normal world, he is usually the smaller guy in the ring.

"You have guys like The Big Show, who is 500 pounds and about 7 feet tall. Me standing next to him, I look like an ant standing next to an elephant."
