That being said, I think Big Show now has found a level of mastery over his craft -- not to the point where he is having five-star matches, or anything; but he just gets everything. There were times when Big Show used to be horrible and lost in the shuffle (WWE circa 2001-2002 until Heyman took over his booking).
Personally, I think Show still has got a lot to offer the business, and has some great moments to come. Some random suggestions for Big Show's future:
* A feud with Dolph Ziggler. Mr. Perfection works great with larger opponents. Ziggler's matches with Kane were far better than they had any right to be. Ziggler could tell a great story with Big Show, being the annoying mosquito that Show can't swat. It could also raise Ziggler's stock as a legitimate threat to any World Title. Show should be making some stars, and Ziggler is a great candidate for that.
* A team with Zack Ryder. Show working in tag teams has been done with so many guys over the years, and that makes perfect sense. It's a great way to keep Show on television, letting him be dominant, but without booking the show around him. A Ryder/Big Show tag team would not only be super-over, but it could lend credibility to Zack Ryder, and merely give Show something to do.
Ryder & Show versus Curt Hawkins & Tyler Reks could be a great little tag team feud on RAW. Ryder gets beaten up by his former partner and his monster partner, before Ryder tags in The Giant who kills both heels dead.
But yeah, I'm actually going to lock in after. Show was booked to be a monster in ECW, and there have been moments as a face where I have literally marked out for the dude. I never got to do that in his earlier WWE career. But I understand why people are saying before. It's just my personal view.

Yes, he did win the title on his first wrestling match at Halloween Havoc on October 29, 1995, winning by disqualification, thanks to the interference of Jimmy Hart, who revealed the next night on Nitro, erased the no-disqualification rule and the title would change hands on a disqualification or countout.
However, he was stripped of the title on Nitro on November 6, 1995, due to the controversial finish at Halloween Havoc.
