World Wrestling Entertainment's star wrestlers are often said to be "faking" fights. But now WWE producer Andrew Green has filed a lawsuit against one of the biggest wrestlers, Big Show (whose real name is Paul Donald Wight Jr, ) for a chokehold that Green says was painfully real. Green claims that Big Show, pictured right, a five-time wrestling champion who weighs 440 pounds, grabbed Green by the "collar and throat" during an expletive-laden post-match video interview.
