Meh.
Big Show for the most part is just a big jobber barring his early days and ECW run. For the most part, he's been used as a jobber and has rarely been a real threat for the world title, other than ECW. I like the guy, but I don't really see him making any difference in the WWE whatsoever. A few weeks after he returns, it will all be the same and no one will care for Show...if he's on Raw/Smackdown, he'll be stuck in a boring feud probably playing his cliche "big monster that jobs on the PPV" role that guys like Kane and Mark Henry have been filling in... Meh I says, unless WWE turns around and use him like they did in ECW or do something radically interesting with him...which I doubt.

Big show can be jobbed because beating him makes you look good, but when he loses, he can still be bought as a legi threat, because he is so fucking big.

Plus, he was never really a jobber, What NON major player has gone over him.

I don't blame you for believing that. Because the first thing they would do is have him feud with something huge. Which is unfortunate, because Show can put on a decent match, but he's not good enough to milk a good one out of the Border Collie.

I'm serious, I would mark out for Big Show giving a Chokeslam to Hornswoggle in the Royal Rumble, and then tossing him as far out of the ring as he can, even if it kills the little guy. Jeff Hardy or Rey Mysterio vs. Big Show at WrestleMania for either the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship would entertain me a lot more than any of the rumoured matches I have heard about.
Big Show should set his sights for the World Heavyweight Championship, though. If he wins that belt, then he'd not only be the only man to ever be WWE, WCW and ECW Champion, but he'd complete the run with the World Heavyweight Championship. In a completely kayfabe sense, the WWE could make the case for Big Show being the greatest World Champion of all-time. Not only is he the only guy to be WWE Champion, WCW Champion and ECW Champion (and maybe one day World Heavyweight Champion), but he is the only guy (to my knowledge) to ever win a World Championship in his in-ring debut, and the only man to defeat Hulk Hogan in his in-ring debut. They could really hammer these points home and make Big Show into a (relative) draw for the company. Last edited by Mr. Nerfect; 01-12-2008 at 10:03 PM. |

Funnily enough I was thinking it would be quite cool if big show had come out to help Horny this week when Mick Foley came down instead. Big Show back is good news, not that I wasn't pleased to see Foley at all. Whilst he could never do the things he did before, Mick Foley will forever be greatess, and like Ric Flair may never retire.

Cena's gonna beat the odds against him at some point.
My bet is they do something to keep him busy until after Mania, and then fued him with one of the champions. I also don't think it'd be a bad idea to put him right back in ECW |

But mainly, his contract translates to: you're in our family for life and we'll promote your legacy and pay you for it, just as long as you don't go anywhere else. I think he might even have a life contract. I recall reading that Austin, Taker and Foley are signed to what are basically life contracts. Probably Michaels too, (and we all know HHH's is his marriage certificate) I think Hogan was offered one too but never signed. Anyone know more about that? |

That was such a fuck up when they got Big Show from WCW in 99 and debuted him so awesomely...then fed him to Austin on free TV.
Granted, it all happened fast and Mania was on the horizon so they couldn't do a real program at the time. But still. By all means I think they should have had him job to Austin, but after such a grand entrance they should have built him up for a few months until after Austin went over The Rock and then fueded Giant/Austin. I don't know who they should fued Big Show against now, but Edge comes to mind. |

With hogan on good terms with wwe now and big show apparently returning i wouldn't be suprised to see the match that was meant to happen at mania 23, hogan vs big show. Was gona say hogan vs khali but seeing as khali managed to fuck up taking a punch....i think show would be the obvious choice.

I'd like to see Edge hang onto the title for a while against Big Show. After Big Show finally wins it, he goes heel and has a run similar to his ECW run until a good face compettitor takes the title from him, who would be a perfect candidate to eventually put heel MVP over. Not Batista again though, I'd rather see him on Raw to freshen things up. Maybe Jericho or if at all possible Michaels. |

I am expecting big things from the big show when he returns since he will be in much better shape than when he left (a repotedly 90lbs. lighter). I am not sure where he will return to though. I can see him returning to the "A" show in RAW or possibly ECW where he left off.

Well Show returning is now 100% official....
Just read that the papers have been signed and as of today Big Show is back on Active Roster... I see him returning at Rumble as a late surprise entrant... |

Personally I think his previous theme was so much better than the new one. I hope he goes back to it. Or gets a new, even better theme.

They'll announce him as 600. JR will say he lost fat but packed on muscle.

I normally mark out for giants, so I'm looking forward to The Show making his comeback at the Royal Rumble, albeit this is kinda like when Bret Hart went to the hall of fame and wasn't at WM that year. No one knows if he'll be back at the Royal Rumble, but I'm expecting it to happen.
