I like Big Show. I can't believe he's done what he has in his career. He's won the WCW Championship twice, the WWE Championship twice, the ECW Championship, been Runner-Up in the Royal Rumble twice and headlined WrestleMania. I really underestimate the guy's value to the industry when looking at him, but hopefully in ECW he can rise to the tier he arguably belongs to.
He'll probably lose the ECW Title at Summerslam to Rob Van Dam, but if he remains a top heel in ECW, I doubt being Heavyweight Champion will matter much. It's kind of odd that Big Show's last two Heavyweight Title reigns have taken place under Paul Heyman's SmackDown! booking and ECW (which isn't Heyman's, but still). I guess Heyman must be a big fan of the guy. Show really carried the Punjabi Prison Match at The Great American Bash, as well. I mean, it still sucked pretty bad, and The Undertaker was the guy doing a lot of the work physically, but all the drama was Big Show's. He's realy stepped up his game.
