Do you think AEW is the right home for Big Show? Let us know in the comments!
AEW is the right home for anyone who doesn't want lame disney crap WWE is selling
@@anthonyharris2930 Not true, as a WWE fan, he should have stayed in WWE as he could have faced the Tribal Chief for the WWE Universal title
@anthonyharris2930 meanwhile Tk is booking a 5'7 150 pound goofball with his hands in his pockets beating 7 footers. His home is wwe.
@@shamrock73 hey dont be dissing orange cassidy! hes been putting in the work with great matches, its impressive to wrestle with hands in the pockets, his match vs will osprey was amazing and atleast he defended his belt way more then roman that doesnt even wrestle on free tv
@@anthonyharris2930AEW is nothing more then a glorified stuntshow. They will never get any credibility as long as idiots like Orange Cassidy are in there. And wwe sucks too these days btw.
He was forced to leave because he had hip surgery and couldn't wrestle anymore on a regular basis so they wanted to negotiate a contract based on him doing legends appearances now and again but he wanted more money. TK was willing to pay him what WWE used to pay him to do nothing so he went there, let's not pretend it was anything other than money. He wasn't worried about his promos or creative ideas because he knew after hip replacement he was done as far as major in ring runs.
Yeah, we don't need you to talk for him mark.
Yes, it’s simple business.
Your the mark go match your indy crap show @@CatsClaw44
@Lannis31 cry harder
@Lannis31 I'm glad he wrote that, saved me 3 and a half minutes.
A very honest and down to earth guy, I wish Paul all the best in AEW
Duh!
Paul says thanks
It's just a back seat role. He's legs are done
he was boring. In his promo and fight, audience shot "old same shit"...
He left because he couldn't get paid as much because he had hip surgery and couldn't wrestle. He has an ego
Hope show is happy where he's at. I hope doesn't get seriously hurt.
he doesn´t get any Tv time anyway .. what was his last match?? he might injured twisting his ankle while getting out of bed but thats it.
Bruh...BIg Slow has been washed for years and is currently FLEECING Tony Khan
@@yoholmes273 rather see big show than CM clown
@@the_piper001 BIg Slow weeping in the ring 😢 😭
@@yoholmes273 yeah cool lol he takes more talented shits than most of clowns that you butty boys like today
Met him at LAX. Very nice and polite man.
We were heading for Maui. He was returning from Australia and headed for Chicago.
We joked about eating together at an all you can eat Sushi place.
Laughing said they’d say leave you two. No more fish. You both ate it all.
Met him once in a local grocery store. Really down to earth and a nice guy
As a former fat kid It's funny how even adults can't escape all the fat jokes they been hearing since elementary school 😂
@@richg158 oh shit you live in his hometown? Man sometimes I think y'all people are just capping 🤷🏾♂️
@@mohamud60 He doesn’t now but a few years ago he did. The area here used to have a lot of the wrestlers in the area. Not so much now since the training center was moved.
I just saw him on AEW a couple weeks ago. He looked like he was in pain just walking out on stage.
no wonder AEW is going down,,HIRING A BUNCH OVER THE HILL WRASLERS including the BIG SHOW..
SHOW should never WRASTLER Period.. ke can do COMMENTARY or COACH.. BUT LOOKS PATHETIC
and is OLD>>> maybe have a REMATCH with FLOYD MAYWEATHER AGAIN
Well he had major hip surgery so he is done effectively as being a real ring talent . It can be hard to accept but facts are facts why would they give him the huge money he wanted to be able to do very little .
The worst thing to ever happen is for WWE to lose their giant. It hits different for someone who grew up watching during Andre's time in WWE/WWF. Big Show was the closes to replacing Andre no one else had come close 😮💯 👌🏾
Let's not forget that Andre The Giant and Big Show are two completely different people. They may share things in common but it would be a great injustice to compare them to each other. There will never be another Andre and there will never be another Big Show. They've left their marks in ways that will remain embedded in wrestling history and in many hearts. Legends forever.
Big show was better
WWE could have done more with Paul Wight if it meant helping young talent while still keeping him in a strong position. Lost opportunity
@@mysteria5705I think it is fair to say that Big Show was the closest main roster superstar that could be compared to Andre the Giant because of what Andre couldn’t do due to his ailments and because we lost him too soon. In an ideal world, it would have been a spectacle if we could have had both in the ring at the same time and they would not even have to wrestle each other. Each of them had a very unique story. Not many people I have seen of that size at 7’0” and 7’4”. Just my thoughts…..and I was fortunate to grow up watching both
@@TrentonAllen-py3sllol?
I took my son to see big show in 1998, great match with Kevin nash! These guys gave people so much unforgettable fun! May they be blessed for their work!
When he was called “The Giant!”
Sidenote: I’ve never, ever seen Nash in an entertaining match that didn’t have Hall as his tag team partner. His pace was so slow, when I have insomnia, I just turn on old matches or his podcast (which moves at the same 🐌 pace as his matches did). Just my personal opinion
Big show is the man. I hope that he gets the story lines he is looking for.
"Storylines" for a third string commentator/announcer who hasn't wrestled in almost 18 months? Tony Khan can't even book anything that makes sense for the people who are in the ring every week. He's had a combined 11m19s in the ring, over a total of four matches in AEW, so far. Three in '21, one in early '22. He's done as an in-ring performer.
His bump card was full long before he left WWE. He's 51 years old and has artificial joints. Do people want to see him die with wrestling boots on? Enough already!
Big show is not that guy
He's old people cant seem to accept that for some reason
Huge legend right here. Most of people know who is the Big Show. The man deserves more respect and recognition by his hard work. He always loved to put over other talents
I remember Paul / Big Show on an episode of 'Psych'. He was truly great! I was hoping for more film/TV opportunities for him. I'm glad Netflix gave him a shot recently. I hope he gets another opportunity.
Absolutely no over inflated ego, its a job did what he was told to do.❤
He is just a powerful humble guy. I remember how incredible his WCW match with Goldberg was and then how Vince brought him to that WWF or WWE (whatever) to embarrass him and be defeated by just every superstar in his roster. The question was why? He had the next Andre the giant but more agile and symmetric. I just can guess that he is a yes sir kind of guy and Andre wasn’t. Big show could have been so great instead of just a good employee.
Sadly, your right
I get what you're saying but life change and sometimes you're put in a position where you have to chose between risking it or playing it safe. If you have responsibilities, especially a family, playing safe is almost always the first choice.
Paul sounds intelligent, he must've weighed his chances and chose wisely to get the most he can.
Ugh... NO! Andre had the presence that the Big Show NEVER had. Don't put them in the same category.
More agile than Andre, wrong ,go look up Andre videos of him in his 20 's & 30's ,big show couldn't hold a candle to Andre, they aren't even in the same league, Andre makes big show look slow
He was trash in the ring in WWE dude. His promo was poor.
Meet the Giant at a bar 30 years ago. Shook my hand and was really cool
I met him when he was the Giant too. Back in 1998. He was a cool guy.
I really connected with the big show when he talked about big guys knowing we are big. i am 6'5 and pushiing 460lbs, We live in our own skin every single day, so talking about our size feels redundant. It's not news to us; it's just the way things are. When folks go, "Whoa, you're so tall!" or "Man, you're huge!" it's like telling a fish it's swimming. We're already in on that secret.
Big show was one of the best talents in wrestling. He could play a monster or make you laugh. Totally all around entertainer. Part of some of the greatest matches and moments for a long time.
Then be totally gassed out within 3 minutes.
lol You think that was scoring a point? lol How many guys has the wwf/wwe pushed down our throats that sucked, that we didn't want, that in 30 minute long matches, couldn't give us even 3 minutes of entertainment? lol Who cares about his stamina when his work is what matters. Nice try though.@@uncleandross4310
You mean in sports entertainment? Because he was just as useless as a wrestler as most guys in the WWE locker room
True
@@JohnDaubSuperfan369
Don't you feel a little bit "effeminate" calling it sports entertainment. lol When you say let's watch a movie, let's say Star Wars for example, do you also say it this way? "LET'S WATCH A SPECIAL EFFECTS LADEN SERIALIZED MOVIE FRANCHISE WITH PEOPLE PRETENDING TO BE FROM SOME OTHER DYSTOPIAN REALITY SET IN SPACE WITH OVERTONES OF INCEST BETWEEN 2 OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS."
Or do you just say, let's watch Star Wars tonight? lol
Everyone knows what you mean when you say wrestling while talking about these videos because that's the reality they're meant to represent. Try just being a guy for a minute or two a day. lol
Let me guess, you're one of those people that feels the need to correct people's grammar constantly just to feel better about yourself, too, right? lol@@JohnDaubSuperfan369
And to be perfectly honest, I bet he was MUCH MORE effective at wrestling than most guys in the locker room because of exactly who he was. Try taking him down or try getting out of a hold if he actually shoots on you with a real wrestling move. In a real wrestling match you only have so much mat area to survive against this guy and his size and power is gonna get you. Try putting a hold on him and letting him get those giant mitts on you. lol THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING BEFORE YOU TRY BEING SUCH A SMARTAZZ IN THE FUTURE. lol
Cuz "YOURE" comment was wrong on every level once you do think about it.
(by the way, I not only used youre incorrectly there but left out the apostrophe so you'd have something to obsessive compulsive about as a peace offering. lol)
Thanks for all the great matches. I remember watching that super plex from Brock. Lesnar when these two broke the ring with my dad. He let me stay up late to watch it.
Loved Big Show on Enterprise. He really sold that kick to the groin by T-pol.
100% right on
"...Not even worth the price of processing."
Paul was a meme in WWE because he seemed..well.... "Eugene like" sadly. His promos weren't just bad, they where literally "I AM big show, I am BIG, being BIG, and having BIG BIG BIG I will wrestle BIG BIG BIG BIG!!" levels..
Hell, even though WCW just had him as the giant, they gave him more to work with...
Big show was one of my favorites i seen at a smackdown event before back in 2000 it was awesome and very special moment in my life and my family that smackdown night
Big show a legend period
yes
"Hang your ego at the door " was a sign above the gym door at McMichaels Gym and it was only told to you once when you were new to working out. Produced a lot of big men who were the nicest guys to walk this earth. Show looks Great looks happy to
same at planet fitness lol.
Wrestlers go past their prime and have a hard time moving on … i like how ppl like the rock left in their prime .. the wwe tried tearing him down and ended up needing him because he became bigger than wwe.. these same guys complained about the guys from the 80s like hogan wanting to be top guy forever
The Rock Black Adam, is a very powerful and always tell-tale success story, he is definitely an Anime Titan. My bro gotinto the rock, I got into Black Adam as a result of my bro
As a result, I made a Thursday meme, using Rocks' Thursday workout, and also have gotten BLACK ADAM shirts from department stores , the movie was so good in my opinion
lol the rock is a one trick show lmao the tough guy that can't be beat is the only role he played in 20 years
@@the_piper001 myb, but hes famous , wealthy and was popular for over twenty years in two industries , wwf at the time and hollywood so good 4 him, hes tge first to be truly succesful at both
Your videos in this series are false. You titles say why such and such were forced to leave. Jericho wasn’t forced he chose. Paul wasn’t forced either he chose as well.
Thank god he left when he did, so we got the chance to see him compete in an all time classic match against QT Marshall, or his unforgettable win in a handicapped match against Arjun Singh, Carlie Bravo and Cole Karter.
1:35-1:42
Yes he's killing it in AEW right now!!
Paul is a great guy and wrestler. I wish him the best
Big Show is another classic example of how Mr. McMahon overlooks potential and lets its splinter away instead of giving it the environment to flourish. In the Attitude Era, Big Show would have been an excellent addition to the top tier performers of Austin, Rock, HHH, Taker, Foley, Michaels, Angle, Jericho etc. He obviously had the size, he was good on the mic and would have gotten better had he been given the time to develop, and he could wrestle in the ring as well. It just seems like once McMahon has an image of you, he will almost never change it. After the Attitude Era, I think of guys like Ziggler, Rusev, etc who had everything you needed to become a top performer but we're never properly developed.
Dude he's old. New blood needs the spot.
This is such a lazy take on things......... The idea that VKM (the man with the biggest Big Man fetish in the history of pro wrestling!) of all people didn't see potential in PW as the next Andre is ridiculous.
When they first signed him he was put on a massive long deal. What did he do? Turn up out of shape and then lacked motivation and fitness for recurrent spells throughout what should have been his prime years.
Paul himself is a big part of the reason he didn't become the phenomena his physique suggests he ought to have been.
nah easier to sound profound and harvest likes from strangers when you complain about things you dont understand. Like how you can search for a song from literally any year and the top comments will always be "THIS IS REAL MUSIC NOT LIKE THE TRASH WE HAVE THESE DAYS". People really think their uneducated and ignorant opinion is supreme @@airfixx_8952
Big show deserves more he is a legend in his own right and he just seems to repeatedly be written off by the wwe
I loved when he came out with Peewee, dressed as Peewee. Such a fun bit without needing to be a scary tough guy.
Big show is one of my top favourite wrestlers. Top respect and love for him ❤️
always enjoyed paul in wwe and wcw a nice guy and a beast of a guy
I love Paul Wight. WCW post DoD-era Giant was one of my favorites. White shouldn't be working on TV. His body, his hips to his ankles, look bad and nobody wants to see someone as genuine and kind as White get hurt unnecessarily. This man doesn't have a damn thing left to prove to anyone. I like White in AEW because it gives him a chance to work with big guys like Lance Archer or Big Bill. Maybe even help a monster like Brian Cage, Rush or Keith Lee. White is hella entertaining, put him on a mic backstage interviewing the guys, asking the real questions or at the desk delivering his expertise when the big guys fight. White could be a major asset if kept healthy.
Yes facts. Dude is huge, heavy af and old now, he just cannot recover like he would have 20y ago. Tbh I would find it sad to see him retire like this, kinda in the shadow because he wouldn't have the proper farewell he deserves for his huge career, but this is the wisest solution for his health at this point. He has given enough of his health, so let hi give his knowledge instead now
I appreciate the BigShow. Pro wrestling isn’t the same, without at least one ultra Giant on the roster.
As he grows old he has become very honest and good human being.... No ego of being a monster of human being...
He can BARELY walk bro
always liked big show in the 90s early 2000's i always thought he should have been bigger then he was, not in the physical side but his position.
Met him at Olive Garden in Tampa once. Got a pic. Nice guy. Don't think he was super thrilled to take a photo when he was picking up dinner but I was young and dumb for asking lol
At least you realized your error. I saw Spike Lee once at the airport. I just yelled “sup Spike”. He nodded in acknowledgement and we kept it moving. Sometimes that’s all you need. The memories mean more than the picture ever will. My buddy used to work for ROH as one half of the Christopher Street Connection (Buff-E), and I used to hang out backstage at all the Indy shows and never asked for an autograph or a picture. I had a 40 minute conversation with Nicole Bass (RIP) and had a great time without making anyone uncomfortable or being a marked out nuisance.
I mean sh*t André, the giant he went out there until I think like what like a year before he died or something maybe even less?💪
The man should have been the WWE heavyweight champion for years!!
WWE never used Paul like they should have and put him in matches that were just dumb.
He is one of the most decorated champions in WWE history what are you talking about?
You win the wwe championship belt based on your startdom and how much crowd you can attract. Not based on your size
The funny thing is he was actually good at cutting promos. For example his feud with Lesnar was successful based on his heel promos. And he was funny as hell in those early 00s Smackdown days.
I get why the Big Show feels that way, but he is a legend. Ask anyone, even those who don’t watch wrestling, what names come up?
Stone cold, the Rock, Big Show.
I want him to still compete and wrestle. I wish the industry gave them the freedom to make their own characters and bring them to the table. Cause then we’d see a lot more creativity.
The big show is not as famous as rock or Austin
Don’t be silly
Big show? Not even close.
I am from Europe and as far as I can tell Big Show here is more famous than Stone Cold.
@@AliothAncalagonI'm from Ireland & no.
Thanks to Vince.
"check your ego at the door".... words never to be embraced by The Elite.
Is that you Phil?
@Fyoutube12 so it's ace steel? Tell Phil he owes the big man a win.
More like cm punk
Bwahahahahahaha. Because you know everything. Try again troll.
Hi punk and ace
Worst decision Tony made was signing Show and Mark Henry. Now, this is based solely on TV time alone. If they’re backstage doing something beneficial that I’m not privy to, god bless him but dudes in the last stages of their careers like Jake, Sting, Mark, Show, Arn, Tully etc….guy like Tony are a Xmas present that they can squeeze 2-3-4 last big money deals before they’re gone and god bless them for that.
After seeing him on aew last time with his fd up leg/hip, WWE was absolutely right pushing him into a legends role...but those aew mark kids wont admit...imagine if vince would have let him go out like that, the internet marks would lose their minds!! stupid!!
Big show was done in WWE. It was clear in his performances that he didn't have it in him anymore and didn't give his all. That's why people kept chanting "please retire". It was just a cringe display and needed to end. Big show has a lot to complain about over how his career went, and the truth is, it's all his own fault. He could have been more, much more, but it's him that never pushed to be more. Just look at how even Cena was disappointed in him not working on his physique. And only then did Show react and that was way too late in his career. Big show used his size as a crudge, and that was his fatal flaw.
you have nothing but opinions , and nobody asked.. dude a legend, called earned it
His last real match was against Strowman in like 2017/18 and it was a banger. What are you talking about? He's big af of course but to say he used his size as a crutch is stupid. He's big but we've never seen Big Show blow up or have a terrible performance in the ring. Even at his biggest in like 2006 he was still hella athletic and moved well for his role.
@johnmickens4100 True but I remember in wcw he hit a drop kick off the top pretty sure I saw him do a moonsault too once
@@jimbowlan5804 Yeah man Big Show is an anomaly for sure. Even with abs he still just has a freakishly large upper body. Honestly it'll be really long time before we see someone as tall as they are wide and do the things Show did for as long as he did them. He deserves so much more respect
@@jimbowlan5804 Yeah - and if he had continued to do that, his career would have lasted about five more years max and he would be dead now.
All Elderly Wrestling.
AEW has become the retirement home for wrestlers that should be calling it a day instead of trying to hang on to lost glory. I mean I don't blame him for following the money, but don't pretend WWE wasn't right for moving you aside for younger talent.
WCW-lite
Maybe if Jericho and Big Show were not pushed aside they would have more lapsed fans watching. But you’re too small minded to think about business. Not everyone wants bs like Ricochet lol
AEW hasnt used him like that: he hasnt buried anyone.
Its possible that Show just wanted some respect. WWE doesnt do that.
@@djdarq6311bro jericho and big show aren’t the same wrestler now as they were 10 years ago
@@djdarq6311 Jericho is always on the tv show and nearly every PPV. He is not being pushed aside; in fact there is an argument some make that he takes up too much screen time.
Show is underrated. He is/was a far better wrestler than Andre the Giant. Yet everyone puts Andre up on a pedastool like he was the greatest big wrestler ever. I think Big Show is better.
Young Andre was phenomenal. Looked like Shaq when he was on the Magic, as opposed to Shaq when he was on Phoenix.
Andre was a terrible wrestler. people are too afraid to admit it. The guy was embarrassing to watch
That is exactly right. Everyone dumps on Warrior but no one dumps on Andre. I wonder why. Andres matches were the worst I've ever seen. @@paulwoodford1984
Given what I've seen recently I'd say he was let go because his legs are is a very bad way.
“You can either do it or not go to work” - I wish he was my boss
why would you want your boss to say that?
I"ll never forget how the big show teamed up with Rikishi and was dressed like Rikishi and in this act was called Showkishi and both gave edge and Christian a double stink face. That was funny though this was the only time I saw the big show give an opponent a stink face.
Happy for him.
There is a difference between checking your ego and being disrespected. Big Show was getting dissed constantly. A guy half his size was allowed to talk down to him with no pay off. In a legit real life confrontation Orton would have been lying on his back for trying to test the Big Show.
Money talks and money spends, show has probably several million dollars in the bank, he doesn’t need to wrestle anymore but if he feels he can still go then he should.
Lol I don't care about either guy but Orton is still like 6'3 and 250lbs of steroids. He's twice as fast as the Big SLOW. My money would be on Orton. Go watch the Giants that used to fight in MMA 20 years ago. Not one of them could fight. We're not talking 25 year old Paul White on his prime, that's a different story
He can barely walk. Embarassing.
given his physical state right now vince and wwe obviously made the right call! hes in denial about it being over and needs to decide wether he wants to wrestle on or have some mobility in the time he has left in life!
My aunt told me when she was working at Target in high school, WWF was in town and the Big Show came in and bought something. It was a small item and he paid with a $50. She tried to give him his change, but he said "just give it to charity".
how did you get him to come on your show?!
If I were Big Show I'd have the same mentality. However, realistically his body can't do this anymore, in particular his knees. After seeing him recently on AEW I hope Big Show realizes it's time to hang up the boots. I hate the thought of seeing him relying on a wheel chair to get around.
I met him years ago, by chance, in the opryland hotel. He could not have been nicer, let us take pictures with him and did a pose like he was about to slug me lol. Great guy👍
What I find really bothering is, aew have Show, Arn, Billy Gunn, Sting, Mark Henry, Jericho, Jeff Jerrett, Jerry Lynn and for a year one of the greatest in Steve Regal and none of the young inexperienced kids on the roster ever used that to become great. Wrestling is dead.
MJF?
@HipHopXXIV facts he's carrying aew on his back
Jericho is a wcw original same as Jeff jerrett.
@@johngurnhill8743 What does that have to do with the original point?
What I find bothering is they have all these vets that you mentioned and not one of them are stepping up as the vets they are to calm down some of these massive egos. They seem content with just collecting a cheque
So what is his role in AEW ?
Commentary and gets to wrestle whenever he wants.
his commentary and mark henry’s are horrible also.
@@Hypno_BPMI think it's what they were havig to commentate on that was horrible tbh lol
he's got no role. Just to get a nice fat check directly deposited every two weeks. In that regard, it's a nice gig. but he's completely irrelevant now.
@@-Trauma. it’s both. though the only commentators i like on AEW are the collision crew and Tazz for the lulz
Paul, you are legend
One of the all time greats.
He is right, but what has he or any ex WWE done at AEW? Nothing.
It's good that he didn't wanna just have a backseat legends role and he's now working 300 days a year in AEW
He is not.
@@bekindtoanimals2189 ...that's the joke.
i dont blame him leaving wwe when the fans chanted " please retire"
he can’t move anymore , look at the couple of matches he’s had in AEW he’s horrible now
They weren't exactly wrong now were they? His few matches in AEW only proves that he has no business being an active wrestler anymore.
It might not be nice butcits the truth even though he got in great shape on the outside inside hes all messed up. Too many injuries especially at his weight all them bumps take its toll
He turning into Andre with the way he moves in the ring now
@@Hypno_BPM Men that big don't have to move as long as they can still pick people up.
Well said
None of us want to get old but all of us warriors either die on the battlefield or teach the next generation. He needs to carve himself out a space for someone his age. That is our duty as men.
Paul should've had a Bray Wyatt type persona- A real twisted evil badass, but they misused him as a comic relief joke and he never got over as much has he should've.
One of my favs.,..never forget the time you piced up "think ray m," with one hand over your head an speared,em into the trailor...nobody in wres. Is that strong!...MAYBE..MARK HENRY...another fav of mine,great bully skits..an mike skills
The promo with Big Boss Man was really good.
Tbh seeing Show in AEW makes it clear to me that Vince was right.
He clearly can't go at the level wwe would have expected anymore imo.
So yeah , aew seems to be fine for him, they'll pay him good money for barely doing anything. He's done like 6 short matches in 2 years, hasn't put anyone over sofar and did some occasional commentary on dark.
Nice job i'd say.
Big Show might not have been ready to be a legend, but I'm sure his knees wanted to contradict him... That's usually one of the things that shortens careers in the WWE.
Welllllllllllll its the Big Show seems like such a cool down to earth guy
“What the H E double hockey sticks am I doing?” Wow! I’m not sure what to think of that. 😄
He should come back. Next big event he should try reach out.
*The interviewer’s webcam is 4 feet away…*
*Big Show’s webcam is 30 feet away!*
So what he does in AEW ? Production ?
Big show has defied the odds and is still alive.
The problem is as long as the elite are EVPs and in AEW, it's hot steaming garbage
Man, that guy looks as good as he ever did
"I was wearing the airplane"😂
Yet you never see him on camera at Aew and he has been there awhile now.
So he goes to AEW and does even less than WWE wanted him to do 😂
Big Show should have taken over the giant roll that Andre had. Big Show should have taken that spot! He should have been pushed as the next giant. It was sad to see what they have done with Paul and his career as a giant.
Cause he’s a lazy bum who never had great matches or took care of his body
He couldn't do that in WWE where he's been putting people over for decades.
someone signed a disclosure agreement.
My favorite big show moment was the jack knife powerbomb angle with Kevin Nash
Is that where Nash almost drop him on his head?
@@BurdenErnie1 that's the one. He got lucky on that one. There was heat between them after that
My favorite is when Brock Lesner Suplexed Big Show off the top turn buckle and the whole ring collapsed.
My brother and I jumped out of our seats and were totally amazed. Had never seen anything like that before.
lmao. that move nearly put Big Show in a wheel chair. How can that be your favourite?
@@mamster233 maybe he hates the Big show
Considering his terrible commentary and embarrassing himself being immobile in the steet fight, clearly WWE was right
They could’ve found a use for him the guy made the wwe a lot of money. He could’ve groomed guys like Commander Azeez and Omos into those next big attractions like he and khaki were in the 2000s. Big guys like him aren’t necessarily workers their more attractions used to draw and make baby faces look good.
So Big Show left the WWE because he wasnt being used yet I havent seen him on AEW TV for Months!!!! LMAO makes sense, it definitely wasnt about money. Let's be honest, people get excited to see a Legend like Big Show but no one really wants to watch him wrestle anymore. The poor guy cant move anymore, he might be in the best shape he's been in a while but its brutal to see him in the ring nowadays.
I've seen Jerry Lawler on WWE TV more and he's had a major stroke.
If I was on the active roster I'd be pissed that a non active talent legend or not was making 6 × what I do.
Lol that's every job it's called seniority
Pissed about what? The fact your name doesn’t draw what theirs does?
@@redrock717he's had 4 matches and they were all on dark , that's not drawing at all
@@kennymelson3716 true, but pro wrestling doesn't have a union and seniority doesn't mean anything.
Say some guy walks in to your work riding off of his name from another company and gets 6× more pay than you to do nothing aside from a few easy things, you wouldn't be pissed off? I understand that's how the wrestling business works but it would still feel like a big fuck you
@@astrocreep5561 Chipotle was struggling with the food poisoning issues so they hired the former CEO of Taco Bell to manage how the problem was dealt with and he did just that. For two to three years Chipotle couldn't fix the problem with the talent they had inside the company so they recruited expertise from the outside to get the job done. The inside crew had their chance to get the job done. It's better to pay for competence, the company's survival was at stake.
Nobody misses Big Show and for years prior to his WWE exit, fans had enough of him since he never had a noticeable contribution.
but that last part of ur intelligent comment is based off bad creative.
the issue here is simply he's too beat up entertaining the likes of you. but he wanted to be used as if he wasn't.
Wwe underutilized big show but I still enjoyed the matches he was in.
I never knew Big Show is Andre the Giants son! I'm barely finding out but how was it not obvious.
Thats not true. It was a WCW storyline.
1:22 Big Show explains how the real world works, to anyone who's feeling disgruntled at their job, you might want to really listen to what he has to say, even make it a ringtone.
1:22-1:29 wise advice from Big Show.
Ok. Question? If creative says we can't think of anything else to do with him, doesn't that mean they're not all that creative???
So for a while there was some talk among the marks and among the guys and even WWE where they were talking about Paul and so WWE remember he had that Ironclad contract impossible for him to get fired no matter what happened well then the McMahons decided hey we made it Ironclad in the first place.... but that's what Vince had called it just to boost Big Show's confidence at the time because that's what they were going for and then when they were over that some years later
I like Kenny from inside the ropes because he literally sounds like he has Tourette’s when he talks but then you realize like oh no, he does have Tourette’s, but he also has an accident
Now that he is in aew.its fresh new matches and an opportunity for him to teach this to talent not ruined by the wwe machine.
i thought big show had to quit because he wasn't "performing" with guys like Edge and his high acrobatics off the top ropes, summersaults, 360s.
plus big show's signature move was too much like kane's move which was also the choke slam
The reality is Big Show contract was higher then his worth as he is pass his prime. AEW is willing to overpay so WWE let him go. This is a win for both WWE & Paul, but not sure about AEW.
The Big Show was a great in ring performer and will go down as one of the best no doubt.
