I agree with you here, that's why I think he's pretty good to have around. Also if there is a complete vacuum of direction, a guy like Show doesn't need a push to take a first class leap into the main event or even carry the title.
He's also just as effective as a face or a heel in this regard.
If every heel OR face had an injury, died, quit, or what have you, it wouldn't really blow many peoples' minds if a guy like Show came out and won a Royal Rumble, or just started no-sell destroying guys. Doesn't need a build up to establish being huge.
Ultimately all Show and an opponent need to do to make it clear that Show is the guy with the ball or not is vary the degrees in which they sell each other's moves. It's a nice little meter to have handy. I think the guy is underestimated by most and overestimated by a handful.
