I love when Big Show turns heel and when he turns babyface. I love everything Big Show does. He can turn every 6 months for all I care. (He kind of does actually) You don't hear that a lot on the internet, and it needs to be said. I dug him when he was The Giant in WCW, even though looking back he was a big bag of shit wrestling-wise. He was lazy, he didn't take care of himself, and he would usually smoke a cigarette and have a hot dog before his matches. That's a shoot from what I understand.
I was at Starrcade '98 though when he wrestled DDP in a no DQ match, and it was fun as hell.
Anyway, he was forced to sink or swim in WWF/E. No one is going to carry your weight, especially your 500 lbs. The dude is incredibly athletic for a man his size. I am always amazed when he takes bumps like superplexes, german suplexes, an AA... any of that. I know that's somewhat basic for other people, but he's not other people. He's in the latter half of his career but he seriously has had some of the best matches I've ever seen him have in the past year or two. His wars with Sheamus and Mark Henry kicked major ass. I still can't believe he went off the top rope with that elbow drop against Mark Henry. Big Show doesn't park like a bitch.
Aside from the athleticism, Big Show has more acting range than most shitty actors you see on TV. The dude can cry like a beast, and he can do it on command. Shit man, I couldn't cry like that for a wrestling angle. He can do it and he makes it seem real. I'm a 25+ year fan and I end up getting drawn into almost anything he does because of his range of emotion.
Now that I've gushed over Big Show, let me bring it back to the topic at hand. I felt like he punched Miz in the face without any real fight on Monday. I think officially he is Steph's bitch now, and he is going to be Orton's ace in the hole at Battleground.
