Do you wanna see another "Giant" in the WWE?

[Rollermacka]

I have heard that in developmental, there is a former strongman competitor who is like 6 ft 7 and nearly 400 lbs. Does the idea of a new huge wrestler appeal to you anymore? Even big guys in NXT right now like Big Cass or Baron Corbin are tall but not that "spectacle" like Andre or the Big Show. Do you think the "novelty" of a gigantic wrestler has worn off, or do you still want to see Giants in the WWE once he current ones retire?

[Helmsphere]

If the person has the Charisma of Big Show, then Yes.

If it's another Khali, as in funny in that really cheesy way, and immobile, then no.

[Ruien]

We have THE RYBACK and that's all we need.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Nah we've already had The Big Show. Nobody else could match what he brought to the game earlier with Dropkicks and stuff. I think anybody else would be seen as a ripoff.

I think we need to have more people like the Ryback so that becomes the New Normal for "Big Guys." He calls himself the Big Guy but he's not a giant per say. Maybe Ryback but more athletic.

Or Rollermacka because you seem to be very athletic for the 'Giant' type.

[Razzamajazz]

is Rollermacka about to debut?

[#1-norm-fan]

There will always be room for giants in wrestling. As long as they don't ruin the intimidation factor by being almost completely immobile like Khali, then they can always draw if booked right.

[Rollermacka]

Lol, we'll see when WWE comes back to Houston in Jan. The crazy thing is, I'm in no way a small guy at around 6 ft 5 with the boots, slimmed down to 240 lbs (usually play the "big man" on the indies) but in the WWE I'd be "average". Just makes you think about, how huge Show is because he's over half a foot taller and almost 200 lbs heavier than me (how huge that actually is)

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I'm down for anyone that can play their role effectively and can connect with the audience in whatever way benefits the product. So yes, as long as all my criteria is met.

[Emperor Smeat]

Don't really care although agree about it being good if the next "Giant" is more on the athletic or charismatic side than someone who is just big and nothing else as the reason for their push.

[drek]

Who would win? The big show, the big guy, or big red?

[Franchise]

In all honesty I feel Big Show hasn't been "interesting" for quite some time. What number heel turn is it now? The only real highlight in recent years was when him and henry broke the ring.

But in all honesty how far can you take a big guy in terms of stories? The biggest exceptions were Nash (with the NWO), Taker (obvious reasons and he is kind of a big guy) and Kane (though last few years even his character has waned).

Khali had run his course and could barely walk. Harper and Rowan are big guys and interesting to see how that story can develop.

Big Show's only really got a couple of years left in him?

There are big guys on the roster like Rowen and Harper plus there is really tall guys on NXT like Big Cass, Corbin and Konnor. Although all those guys are tall, they just don't have that awe inspiring presence to then like giant guys in the past have.
As far as Show goes, I'm just talking realistically. He's in his 40s and has been wrestling for around 20 years, I don't see him sticking around for another 10 years (and Kane's been doing it longer than that)

Both Kane and Show, masks, no masks, etc fail to ignite the crowd. The only real "high point" if you can call it that for Kane was the truly weird segments with Daniel Bryan when he went for anger management classes and then was forced to "hug it out" with Bryan by AJ. After that silliness there was never really any recapturing of his fearsome persona and I don't think there ever will be. Hi character has become too grounded and personified as opposed to the mysterious, silent, big red machine of old.

Like show Kane has only realistically got a couple of years left in him wrestling wise.

They'd go the usual route they do with all really big guys; booked as strong, fearsome heels or strong, fun-loving babyfaces, and after the 3rd switch between these poles I'd have lost interest (see Mark Henry, Big Show, THE DEMON Kane).

Henry still has the possibility of being pushed towards the WWE title which he hasn't held if I recall correctly (he has held the WHC). But I don't see that happening any time soon. Mark Henry just isn't that much of a crowd pleaser to warrant that kind of run.

[Bad News Gertner]

Yes of course. You need variety in wrestling.

[drave]

Absolutely would love to see another giant. I would like to see the "next giant" to be properly booked and not Big Show booked (at least in recent years). Loved it when show came back and just started punching people in the face for his finisher. Feel like a big guy should be booked as nearly unstoppable or at least display brute power in some form.

Paul Titan is the TITAN TOWER or gtfo.

[Nicky Fives]

Yes of course. You need variety in wrestling.

exactly. Giants are super easy to book too, have him destroy jobbers week after week, then when you think he's ready for his first feud, have someone defeat him by CO or DQ.... insta-feud starter....

I don't understand why you said they can push him towards the WWE Title, then explained how people wouldn't care. How was that a response to what I said?

[erickman]

yeah if he is another big show or a-the giant then yes but if he is a earthquake or kahli then no unless he has a good manager like zeb

That kid is fat..... and can't wrestle.... and looks like that moon picture on a loteria card. Plus, he's not even that big

Do not speak of those leagues anywhere but the backtard fed thread except for #HABM. Do not encourage him.

It's not that the "novelty" of a giant has worn off- its the oversaturation of "big men" has lessened the effect.

The problem of the WWE's fascination with guys who "look the part" is that "big man" is the new normal. Most of the knocks on guys like Daniel Bryan or CM Punk is that, in stature, they are on the lower end of the "standard" spectrum (but let's be real here, so are Michaels and Jericho... sometimes it's just fun to hate because). One of the reasons (and I'm NOT saying the only reason, so kill that noise in advance) Andre was so much "larger than life" was that he was literally so much larger in every way than pretty much everyone else. Imagine as if it were chronologically possible that Andre were consistently flanked by Undertaker, Earthquake, Yokozuna, Nash, Big Show and even the jokes that are El Gigante and Khali. Yes, he was still bigger, and yes, he had that intangable, trancendent charisma that would have taken him far had he not been so massive, but some of that mystique goes away when there is a pool of semi comparable peers.

Hell, look at Rusev. Sure, I'm no super fan of the Super Athlete, but by average guy standards, he's pretty fucking big, and by all rights, should look pretty damn intimidating. In WWE, though, he looks more like Taz taking on a room full of guys the size of Kane. We're supposed to buy into the fact that he looks monsterous, but he comes off as no more monsterous than Big E, or Cesaro, or (truthfully) Henning*, or Henry, or Show, or how they're trying to make Reigns (he's really not much bigger than the other two former Shield guys), or Sheamus, or Ryback, or Harper, or Rowan, or Lesnar, or...

There's just too many other guys for him to just stand out as "holy shit, lookit him!" and makes him seem more "meh". That is the initial trap that any giant moving foward would have to contend with.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Vote is 6-6-6. dun dun dunnn

[KIRA]

There's always room for giants in wrestling but I don't expect to ever see the next Undertaker

[Rollermacka]

So the guy I made this topic on debuted on RAW..... what are you guys' thoughts?

[dronepool]

Hope he gives Big Show a vacation.

[Shisen Kopf]

Yes, but only if it's an acromegaly giant. Also, I hope they would call him Capt. Big Un.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I really don't, but they'll keep bringing in "big man" types regardless of the opinions of fans, because who doesn't want to have someone to cheer or boo just because they look like they belong in a circus freakshow? :roll:

Therefore, I voted "MEH". Unless they ever bring in Awesome Kong/Kharma again since they really haven't done the huge and powerful thing with any divas I can recall and it might make for a nice novelty for a few years, I couldn't care less.

They have the Rocks's cousin in developmental right now. She...... looks alot like Tamina to me (said in a completely non racist way) but alittle thicker. Probably alittle smaller than Kong but not by much (so she's around Lei D Tapa's size)

Doesn't matter to me as long as the talent is there.


If we get the 1999 version of Big Show, Kane, or Undertaker, then I'm all in. Even a guy that is as talented as Rikishi is ok in my books. It's just when you see talentless faggots like Viktor Kozlov and Great Kali that I start "losing my smile" so to speak.

I did see one pic of her in the 100k wrestling replies thread, I believe. I have no idea whom the other person you mentioned is, as, like 85-95% probably of the posters in the wrestling forum the vast majority of what I follow is WWE.

Great Kali? Is she Khali's sister? :p

[Bad News Gertner]

I like him. He looks like a monster. Nice to see soneone debut who doesn't look likevthey should be washing my car.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think he needs an attire change.

[Frank Drebin]

Ill want to see a giant when its Rollermacka

Yeah he has the looks of someone who should be changing your oil instead. It's fresh.
