I think the Big Show is a little too slow in the ring to be having matches with many of these guys.
It isn't that he's not athletic, he's just fucking huge, and it's probably impossible to possess any real agility at that size. He definitely works hard at what he does, and I'm thinking they're working this guy a little too hard. Other than dynamic situations (the "underdog" thing) and handicap matches, the Big Show shouldn't be in there with anything but a good hoss like Kane, The Undertaker, or maybe a guy like Ryback.
He definitely has everything it takes to be good, but under better circumstances, he could be greater. I'd like to see Ryback and Big Show lock up in a natural feud. Even though Show has been pushed and de-pushed to oblivion, you'll never have a hard time taking him seriously as a potential winner. Put them in handicap matches and give them more lower card opponents like Tensai for the oglibatory squash (sorry, Albert). If you don't have more, get some.
They skipped right over Paul Wight, for whatever reason, many times. It could be that he's older now, and that when he was in his prime, the star power was just too thick to stand out for long. If he's anywhere near retirement, which you have to expect he is (or, at least considering an exit strategy), let him go out on top with a bang. CM Punk just played heel for a year straight, let Big Show get in there for a bit and get him in there with Brock Lesnar, Kane, Ryback, or even The Rock.
Does anyone remember Show and Lesnar's ring-collapsing suplex? Was pretty good. Anyone remember much about the Show/Sheamus feud?
