As reported earlier, Big Show was originally earmarked to take part in the Money in the Bank Match at WrestleMania XXV, but Vince McMahon decided to put him in the World Heavyweight Championship bout instead. Mark Henry ended up taking place in the bout.

McMahon felt they had done John Cena vs. Edge way too many times before, so he changed the bout to a three-way match by adding Big Show to it. Although, weeks worth of angles between Cena and Edge were shot before he came to this decision.

Holy shit, all I can say is I'm glad that didn't happen. If they had put him in it, I could see them letting him win it. Not to mention he would've made the match pretty bad.

Whilst I agree that Edge vs. Cena has been done too many times now - was Big Show really their best alternative to freshen up the match? Looking at how it turned out, I would rather of had Big Show in MITB - and end up with a straight up Edge vs. Cena match for the World Championship.

I know, did you see the first title? LOL.
Speaking of typing things correctly, it's "Raw" not RAW :shifty:

Lol, Big Show.

I personally think he is worse then before he left, and wouldn't care if he got fired.

The thought of Show even ATTEMPTING to climb a ladder just looks ridiculous.

Did Henry climb the ladder at all?

I don't think this is true at all. There's a reason they built Big Show/Edge with Vickie Gurrero so much. This is utter BS.

^^^No that started only three or four weeks before Wrestlemania, and the entire storyline seemed like one that was thought up quickly.

Edit: Meant for Diesel.
