So Show's promo on why he turned heel actually made sense, and they tied in how much of a smarmy jackass Cena was being that night. When Cena comes back next week, do you think he's going to actually act serious and explain himself and give the fans a chance to get behind him, or do we think he's going to go out there and be a big stupid fucking goof, and turn the fans on him once again?

This angle has potential even though Show and Cena have feuded about a million times, but it requires Cena to switch gears and be human, not act like a fucking douchebag and make me hate ever being a wrestling fan. He needs to try reason with Show, and even "apologize" for being a fucking idiot and bring some realism into the whole ordeal. If he doesn't, it's just another Cena feud, win or lose.

I agree and hope Cena changes his business as usual game plan.

Normally when Show makes a heel turn and goes all monstrous, it comes off as bland to me. You know, been there, done that. But his reasoning this time and the promos he has cut thus far have made this time different for me. I am actually digging it right now. I just hope he can keep this up as well. If it ends up being another short lived turn only for him to go back to being 'The Gentle Giant' in a couple months, I will be pretty let down.

Also, I hope Show wins at NWO, or at the very least gets disqualified for beating the shit out of Cena. Let this one build a little bit longer and it could have some magic.

Safe money is on stupid goof.

If he didn't change after losing THE BIGGEST MATCH OF HIS LIFE to the Rock, he won't.

I still can't believe they wrote the entire show around Big Show (as Jericho said on Twitter).

My problem with the storyline is how horrible the last Cena vs. Show feud went, alongside the fact that Ace said he hired Show back on Saturday, and how predictable this was seen coming at the PPV. Though Raw wasn't that bad, I still yawn at the repetitiveness of WWE's storylines.

I don't think it was too predictable when Ace fired Show. Sure, everyone knew Show was going to interfere in the Ace/Cena match, but it was pretty undecided on who he was going to get DQ'ed. I was completely expecting him to come out and brain Cena to get Ace fired, and then be rehired by whoever took over GM duties.

I actually liked the firing of Show, not because I don't like Show, but because it was pretty emotional and helped Ace get more heat. Hiring Show back killed the opportunity for a monstrous heel GM that would've been on the right track to rivaling Mr. Mcmahon's power heel status.

I can't get into it at all really. I haven't enjoyed Big Show much for years, and that's not going to change now. All this reminds me of is Cena and Show's snore fests on PPV in 2009 and I can't believe we have to endure that again. To me this just looks like WWE's post-Wrestlemania down time until the Lesnar stuff picks up again come late June/July, and they've chosen Show to fill the time. I would have preferred Tensai, at least it would be something different.

Shouldn't Show be fired?

The remit from the Board of Directors was that "if any WWE Superstar interferes they will be fired". This meant that Tensai, Ziggler, Swagger, etc couldn't come to the rescue of Big Johnny as they have before.

So, when Show interefered at the PPV on the Sunday, all was good as he had been fired the previous Monday. Therefore he wasn't a WWE Superstar and couldn't be fired.

However, Johnny revealed that he had resigned Show on the Saturday, which meant he was a WWE Superstar at the PPV and should have fallen victim to the Board firing him.

Maybe they covered this with the "iron clad contract", just seems it would have made more sense/closed a plothole if Johnny had re-signed Show on Raw.

Johnny cocked up telling the story, but Cole covered for him afterwards saying Show was signed back a couple of hours after the PPV ended. The Saturday night thing was just a "verbal agreement." But yeah, would have made more sense to just do it on Raw to avoid all the confusion.

It would've made more sense for Johnny to whisper to Show while Show was choking him that he'd rehire him on the spot if he helped him win.

There's no doubt it's super contrived. But if Cena attacks this storyline with the slightest amount of seriousness, it could be quite good. It all rests on his shoulders though.

Well, it rest on the shoulders of the writers letting him attack their flaws. Doubtful that will happen too.

Cena has the power to call an audible.

This storyline still makes little sense to me. There are a lot of things that still just don't sit right with me, but whatever. It will be interesting to see what sort of gravity Cena gives the program.

We all know how this goes.
Cena comes out serious face talking slow and deliberate adding a joke in now and again. Apologizing for hurting Shows feelings but declaring how show got his attention but how he's not affraid to fight. blah blah blah Lets go Cena ... Cena sux...

Don't forget the staredown/beatdown ratio!

So here's the question now, what kind of Cena vs. Show outcome in the PPV could redeem the losses WWE's been suffering? I'd say for Ryback to take both the fuckers out and use that doubled-up manuever on them at once and pin them both, but the ref tells him,"The match is over, and you weren't in it, so get out of-!" Before he could finish, the ref is folded up like a chair and slammed like a chairshot to the heads of Show and Cena as they try to get up. Then he starts beating it against his own head until his head goes through the ref and he's practically wearing the sunava bitch. I think this is the only way this match could draw... yep... pretty sure.

The focus is on Cena so I see the situation getting worst for him. Big Johnny of course will some how be involved. My prediction

Interference by both Tensai and Brodus Clay.

What would help the rating is a booking of Brodus Clay and Lord Tensai into this match and the match dropping down to mid card status follow by the return of Rey Mysterio attacking Sin Cara without saying why.

Personally, I think random interferences will do better than this being a clean match. Last time I seen Show vs. Cena, Show slipped out of the STF and helped Cena put it back on him. Yeah... better for this one to go to a draw, and NO rematch afterwards.
