Remember a few years back when he would come out in a different disguise/personality each week? Between that and his bit performance when The Rock hosted SNL, he's pretty funny.

I still remember Showkishi. That was funny and scary at the same time.

Show has a great personality and I've always felt for a man his size he held his own in the ring better than most. I still feel, even though slower than he was 2 years ago (pre knee surgerys), he can still carry a heavyweight title run for at least one more time.

And Big Show has an immense amount of loyalty to the WWE. Remember the time after WM 20 when Smackdown lost both Kurt Angle and Lesner like in the same week? Big Show was due to leave as well to get surgery, but he stuck around longer than he should've to help some other wrestlers get over.

And the guy seems like a huge class act

 

[Mister J]

He does seem like a genuinely good guy; not alot of ego and political BS (unlike some top card guys who will remain nameless). Unfortunately, WWE doesn't tend to really reward loyalty like that. Your character just takes a hit and you hope the audience doesn't hold it against you.

 

[Eric Draven]

Well he does have his share of title reigns in the WWE. And he's always getting a push every now and then And to be honest, I really can't see him getting a long WWE title reign. I just like his title reigns at what they were: 1 or 2 month reigns just to help the other guy get over

 

[Mister J]

Yeah, he hasn't been ignored completely. Some tag, HC and US title reigns. I was primarily thinking about his Heavyweight title reigns (2).

I remember his first when Austin got ran down at Survivor Series and Show was thrown into the Triple Threat. He won it and then had that awful feud with the Big Bossman (although I remember laughing uncontrollably at that scene where Show was chasing Bossman who was dragging his dad's casket. Now that's funny).

 

[Eric Draven]

Yeah, that wasn't a very memorable title reign. I did like his second one though, particularly his feud with Brock Lesner. He played such a great heel to a just turned Lesner

 

[NDX]

I always found entertainment in his feuds with Angle and Lesner. Seeing other wrestlers throw a man his size around is always a sight, and many of the matches have, in my opinion, been quite entertaining.

Test your wrestling knowledge here

I took the test and got only 77 %

But that makes me:

 

[Mister J]

I only got 82%. I thought I could at least hit 90%.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Rob Van Dam
You scored 77% in wrestlingosity, brother!

Same as Draven

 

[Mister J]

Dammit. I took it again and only got an 86% (Ricky Steamboat)

I like Big Show as well for the same reason I like Angle. They're characters don't limit them to being one thing (Like characters like Cena,Undertaker,Boogeyman,etc.) They're very versatile and in Big Show's case he can either be a dominating heel or a loveable giant. He's definitely got good mic skills,and if it wasn't for his condition he'd be a lot thinner and be able to pull off bigger and better moves. I remember in WCW when he was much thinner and he would do the moonsalt,and he did a damn good moonsalt.

 

[Mister J]

I remember the moonsault when he was The Giant (although when I mention it, people think it's BS). Damn impressive.

 

[The FallenAngel]

Well, I suppose Shane vs. HBK won't be so bad to see. That whole speech thing didn't need to take up that much time, but at least it didn't take up the ME time like most of Vince's bull****.

 

[Capt Throbberson]

Anyone notice they just used the "WWF" old logo?

I thought they try to stray away from that as much as possible

 

[The FallenAngel]

Wrong thread.

 

[Capt Throbberson]

Interpromotional MITB!!

**** yeah

 

[Sabretooth]

Yes! Interpromotional MITB!

*prays RVD qualifies*

 

[Jason Blood]

I knew the MITB match was going to have smackdown stars too

It was very obvious when they only had 3 matches for it last week

 

[The FallenAngel]

RVD better be in that!

And damn, Trips got a loud ass pop. Lots of signs too.

 

[Sabretooth]

Indeed. Now I really can't wait to see their reaction to Cena....

 

[NDX]

Maybe tonight will be a good night for quality matches.

 

[Sabretooth]

Looks like Carlito and Masters vs. Kane and Show at Wrestlemania.

 

[The FallenAngel]

Bwahaha. I saw a "The Champ is Queer" sign. Awesome. I hope Big Show hurts him!

 

[Sabretooth]

Damn,I didn't know Steph was that pregnant.
