Big Show


Do you think the reason the select few who didn't like Survivor Series or Big Show being back in the main event is that they've never seen him in person?  I mean, he looks big on TV, but it pales in comparison to being a part of the WWE Universe at a WWE Live Event and seeing him up close.  He is simply enormous.  That has to be the only logical explanation for why someone wouldn't have enjoyed Survivor Series.

I sort of think they would have mentioned something about that on TV by now if it was important.

  1. Bringing Paul Wight into wrestling is the best thing Hulk Hogan ever did for the business, brother!

    Yeah, or how freakishly large his hands are. They're like the size of skillets, or teapots or...that pan you fry things in. What's it called?

  3. His hands are like FRYING PANS for god's sake.

  5. And isn't his fist the size of a typewriter?


    (I honestly can't remember if that's something Cole said or something Scott wrote mocking Cole… either way it's GOLD).

  6. The Giant is huge, man. He's 8'5 and 1200 pounds, brother!

  7. What about that he backs 200,000 people into the Silverdome and slammed the 950 pound Andre the Giant even though he was afraid he was GONNA SHOOT ON HIM BRUTHA because no one told him the finish but Andre was the Boss and he said, "Slam me Boss" and by god he did and Hulkamania ran wild even Bret Hart said it was the best slam he ever saw?

  9. He conceived Brooke, who played a historically significant role in the historic Aces and 8s storyline. This will be Hulksters legacy.

  11. Fucking Twilight Zone is awesome.

  12. I vaguely remember seeing El Gigante as a kid at a WCW house show, never seen someone that big before in person, never will again. Yet that wouldn't have warranted him a run at main eventing.

  13. I like Big Show, he's another of those guys that really needed some kind of long term creative direction to make him great though and that just never happened for any real length of time in his career. The dude is charismatic enough to pull off almost anything, it's a shame my fondest memories of him are dressing up like Hulk or boogie boarding a casket.

  14. I remember hearing a long time ago that Big Show was the son of Andre The Giant. If they would just remind people of that, ratings and PPV buyrates will return to Attitude Era levels!

  15. You forgot how Hogan tore every muscle in his back, and still recovered in time to carry Donald Trump and his entire family under one arm, swiming against the stream up the Mississippi River, blindfolded and with a sprained ankle.

  16. No. I think that it's his character not resonating as it's currently constructed. Just make him a monster heel, or an entertaining impersonating babyface. This tweener stuff's gotta go and they gotta get back to kayfabe roots if they want be back.

  17. Here's a possibility: maybe fans have seen the Big Show do his thing for the better part of fifteen years now, and just have no more interest in seeing him at this level? You can't really fault Show in this; his ring work has actually improved demonstrably over the last couple of years, compared to what he was doing in 2002-2004. He's doing the best he can with what he's been given, but it's the same problem that beleaguers the entire product. Everyone has done everything to one another at some point in time, to the point that there's nothing new or fresh to get invested in.

  18. But that's precisely what he got with a series of title matches around the horn with Flair.

    He's also the only man to fight Undertaker at Wrestlemania and NOT lose by pinfall or submission.

  19. What's a "typewriter"?
