Big Show- Is There Any Hope Left?

[TPIB 62]

It's no secret that Big Show's WWE career has been stale for quite some time now. No matter what WWE tries to do with the giant, it just seems like he cannot get over and he keeps getting pushed back down the card. Whether it's due to how he's booked or just his lack of ability in the ring, there seems to be no hope for Big Show at this stage of his career. Even his runs as Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Champion a couple of years ago were easily forgettable and his short time as a pawn for The Authority was not that great. The last time that Big Show even really did anything relevant was his match against Floyd Mayweather and even that didn't have much to do with Big Show. So the question is- is there any way that WWE can make Big Show into a Superstar that people can either get behind or hate or are Big Show's best days behind him?

Show has a place, in that he's a ready made fill-in guy in title matches, much like Kane. They're both pretty over with the live audiences, but neither draw a dime, but then almost no one does. He'll never be "the man", but then neither will anyone who isn't Cena.

Bring back Jerishow. Other than that, who cares, it's Big Show. No one will give a single shit either way.

Show had his success...he had his runs good and bad...in my opinion, he can still move well, and can still work a pretty decent match...now he is there to put younger guys over like a veteran should. there are some within wwe that could take a page out of his book.

Show is in the winter of his career but I think done right there still is a few scenarios left. One possibility is that he becomes a heavy for the authority, I think that serves Show well at this stage of his career.

 

Another possibility is to have him form a team with someone and enter the tag team division. He could easily take a younger star under his wing and 'train' him or team with an established star

i thought he was used quite well for the build up to the andre battle royal, they tried to make you think with his size and dominance no one else was gonna win but him.

No. Jericho! I want my Jerishow back, baaabay!

[Guest Edgehead]

It doesn't help that he's had about 487 face/heel turns. I quite liked him as The Giant in WCW but I think his 15 years in WWE have been pretty sh*t really. Having said that he's no doubt a future hall of famer so I guess he's done ok for himself

What about ShowMiz?

[DC 536]

That's like comparing The Rockers to The New Rockers; the latter is a cheap knock-off.

[Guest BeorimJ]

I generally like Big Show, though he can act like a lump of coal.

Having said that, i do not see him winning any gold anymore (except maybe as a goodbye next years Andre the Giant memorial). But, he is one the guys who help put new talent over, and i guess he can do that for another year or two.

Should have been pensioned off almost a decade ago to make room for someone who starts puffing like a steam train at the end of an average match, rather than before he's made it from the Gorilla position to the ringside.
