Anyone else already miss him? Say what you will about his skill, he was charismatic as hell, and let's be fair, his size was just incredible. I miss him. One of the most underapperciated big men by smarks.

I don't miss him. They all come back anyways. It's not like he's gone for good, so it doesn't really matter to me.

It'd be different if he died though

Yeah, I really enjoyed him this year for some reason. Definately the best year of his career.

I honestly don't get why people hate Big Show.

He's funny, entertaning, and the man will bump like hell.

What can you not like about him?

He doesn't entertain me.

If everyone had the same criteria for entertainment, this board would have 1 post on it.

So's the "rumor" that you might actually be a guy.

You wouldn't know the truth if it hit you in the face.

He really grew on me, especially this year. I don't miss him persay, but I do think he was pretty underrated (in retrospect) and a pretty good character.

I think the largest holdup on his versitility in-ring was Vince. Show had some great moves, but since he was a big guy, they made him move slowly and act like a cyclops from claymation mythology flicks. Hell, when's the last time anyone saw him use his actual finisher?

Show was definitely a great entertaining when properly motivated, and I, for one, greedily await his return.

I can't believe Kane was brought up in this thread. Big Show > Kane by a mile. Not even the same league.

Honestly Stickman, I am a huge Show mark, but let's not kid ourselves here. Kane's character and in ring ability have always been far beyond Big Show's. Personal markism aside; Kane is far superior to Big Show.

Now bare in mind, I don't like Kane and have found him to be "meh" at best for most of his career, also bare in mind that I am a huge fan Big Show, so my previous statment is not a flection of my views, more just the accepted and common sense views of most objective people.

I honestly hate Kane. Why people say he's a great big man is beyond me. He's not very good in the ring. Just because he jumps off the top rope for a dreaded clothesline doesn't make him good. Plus, is he really a big man? More like an above average yet less than big.

When he first came in he was a monster who wanted to kill people, but when that all died down so did his career.

Big Show on the other hand may not have the most agility but I find I'm more entertained by him as he's believable. He also has charisma, something Kane severly lacks.

I won't be convinced that Kane is Better than Show. I'm not a huge Big Show fan, but I'm more entertained by him than many other generic big men.
Therefore I could agree to disagree.

It's a shame the Big Show wasn't used to his potential throughout his days in WWF/E. For his size, he was really good in the ring. I know his ego during his early WWF days was a huge reason he wasn't dominant, but he eventually got over his ego problem, and still got nothing. When he was booked how someone who is 7 feet tall and 450+ should be, he was amazing.

I remember a match he had against Kane on Raw (I think sometime in 2006). They didn't wrestle like big men at all, and actually did a bit of chain wrestling. It was hilarious, but pretty awesome too.

I'm hoping after some time off to heal and do some acting, he'll be back for a couple more years.

It mst really suck travelling that much when you're that big. Just travelling that much in general sucks.

Big Show's career would have been so much better if he had tried harder and had a better workrate in his early WWE days.

I can't even begin to see why Kane's not a good worker in the ring. I don't think he's good because of a bullshit flying move (Andre the Giant could have probably done it, as could Steven Hawking with the right Push), but I do think he's solid because he's the only "big" man not sloppy as shit in the ring.

I don't expect big men to look like luchadores; just not like ass.
