Whats next for the Big Show?

[Miko]

I saw a similar thread in the RAW sections for Kane so I thought I'd make one for the Big Show.

What do you think Show should do once his fued with Taker is over, if it isnt already?

Personally I would use the guy for what he's best at and that is to put some one over big. He demolished HHH a couple of weeks ago and has got a KO victory over Taker and while he did lose at Cyber Sunday he still gave Taker a huge beating.

So with this in mind I think he should be used in the same way he was in the buildup to WrestleMania 20 when he dropped the US Title to John Cena. In fact I would even give him the US title again, he looks dominant enough these days that he could easily carry it up to WrestleMania destroying all of his challengers, until pretty much the exact same scenario as WM 20 someone else who's been built up takes it off of him. I vote for MVP.

Anyway. What do you think should be done with the Big Show?

Ah, Big Show. I like him. I don't think there's much of a possibility to go back down to the midcard and US Title for him. I support a team with some other giant guy (take your pick on SmackDown) and bring some credit to the tag team division.

Alternatively, a great move for Show would be to go back to ECW. Frankly, it's a great place for him. He's a big established talent and working up some good heat. He did good for the ECW title back when he held it first, and could bring back a lot of credit for the title. I mean, since RVD and Big Show, the title hasn't been worth much in the WWE. If he took it back he could have good feuds with Hardy. Mark Henry might get in the way, but no one cares about him. He could just be the resident destroyer of jobbers, who gets brought up to A) Tag with the other heels or B) Job to the stars.

If there's a need for a main event heel to have it, I guess Big Show would do okay as WWE Champion. I'd prefer Edge, but in the event he gets injured Big Show would make fine back up.

What's next for the Big Show, well if WWE wants to get the most they can out of him, then bet money it'll be with HHH. Big Show will probably feud with Undertaker till at least SuvivorSeries, maybe Armagedon. I say this because I could see a possibility that Edge could return at anytime and then Taker/Big Show/Edge can have a three way at Armagedon to face HHH.

HHH will have feuded with Koslov for two PPV's, probably a DQ finish at SS and HHH getting the big win at Arm. Big Show wins the threeway and faces HHH at Royal Rumble. Now they could do this two ways...
1) They could ruin Big Show by letting him job to HHH for two PPV's and then have him face some random person at WM. Look we all know HHH is going to WM, so unfortunatly for my fellow Show, that is a possibility. or...

2) Have Big Show win at RR. HHH, to me, needs to lose the title before WM. I'm bored with his reign and he's held it since Backlash. Big Show needs to win the title again to continue to legitimize his heel turn at get him back to being a top guy again. HHH has always been portrayed as dominant and maybe even the greatest champion, they push the hell out of him. Have him lose will do wonders for Show and take the air out of his sails. Then Show will brag about being Champion and HHH will demand rematch at NWO, and he'll put his career on the line...
Cause that's what they've been pushing really really hard for the last year and a-half, that HHH is unstoppable and the greatest thing since sliced bread. So for him to put his huge ass illustrious career would be big and would give reason for the HHH push, that is was meant for him now to gamble with... Wouldn't that be a way to go, HHH always starts putting his career on the line everyonce in a while, and then one year after years and years of doing it, he loses and that's it, it'd be sadder than Flair if we didn't expect HHH to lose... But slight sidetrack there, Show, of course, would lose to HHH at NWO, so HHH can take it to WM, and then again I'm back to no idea who Show will fight at WM. But those are my opinions on what will happen and what should should happen.

 

[The Undercover Man]

I think Big show will be getting a push soon, maybe for the WWE championship. This feud he has had with The Undertaker has been great so far and its actyually built his reputation up as a "bully" he decimated Triple H a few weeks ago which was a prime example of his strength, at No Mercy he done the same to The Undertaker and everyone was shocked.

Once this feud is over with The Undertaker i'd make him feud with Triple H for the title because i think he deserves a title by now. or he could possibly move brands, maybe to RAW or maybe to ECW like they did with Kane for the most part last year and look where that got him.

I disagree with the OP because i don't think Big Show should be used to put over other guys. Hes done that already and i am sure he does'nt want to be the Kane of Smackdown.

I agree with the OP about the US title. Yes Big Show would possibly dominate every challenger there would be for the title which will create an "unbeatable feeling" whenever hes in a match. Suppose Big show does get a run with the US title, what if his run does prove to be great? and what if this leads to a WWE championship title shot? I think that would be great personally.

It seems the WWE really don't care for old show and don't know how to push him. When he first came back you would think he would have instantly went into the mainevent but he wasn't. I think the Big Show should have just stayed retired because I don't think creative really is going to do anything. When your a big guy, you are usually in one of two roles. The Monster giant, which he was, or the jobbing giant. Big Show an't feud with alot of midcard guess because it kills his credibility if he loses.

I would say the best best would be to move him to ECW(he had a pretty sucessful run there)and have him replace Henry win the belt and hold it for awhile. If he doesnt do that I see a life of jobbing to the stars, but beating lower jobbers(like Khali, Henry)which is a shame because he has talent. Maybe he will feud with Edge when he comes back but I'm not sure, and he would only job to him regardless.

I like Big Show, he seems like a good worker and a good overall guy. I thought he was going to be the next No. 1 contender, after being with Vickie, but it appears that's not going to happen anymore with Kozlov and Hardy. It seems like Creative have just dropped the ball on him and left him nowhere to go from this Taker feud. He'll probably end up being a jobber though, and ned up puttng people over that don't need to be put over/will go nowhere. Basically, creative doesn't care about him, and that was obvious with the Mayweather feud and everything (read nothing) after it.

I agree with the people who say Show should move back to ECW. He had a good run there as champ and he helped keep ECW more interesting and entertaining. He could help ECW get back on its feet and make it more entertaining, and he wouldn't neccesarily have to put people over all the time. I reckon he would hve a few good matches with Hardy over the title, and then he could be unstoppable until the next big thing comes in and takes the title. But Big Show is so much more valuable than just a jobber, and the WWE should use him in a meaningful way.

 

[The Mark of Zur-En-Arrh]

More than one person has said that Show made the ECW title more interesting and more entertaining. Pardon me for saying, but you're totally wrong. EXTREME RULES made the ECW title more interesting and exciting, not the Big Show. EXTREME RULES would make the ECW title more exciting now, but it's not going to happen unless it's being defended at ONS, and low and behold, it wasn't defended at the LAST ONS at all!!!!! THAT'S why it's now no better than the US or IC belt imo, because the one thing that made it unique and special as been stripped away from it. At ANY PPV is it rearely higher than the 3 match on the card. I could actually accept the new ECW if ONLY the title was contested under extreme rules, otherwise it's essentially heat but with no Raw recaps after every match.

Moving on.....

It seems as though there is only 3 things that the WWE feel they can actually do with Paul Wight.

1. Obliterate everyone and only lose because of his stupidity

2. Be a friendly guy who smiles and waves, and gets a few pops here and there and usually wins but again gets beaten by being outsmarted

3. Get in a fued of some kind where nothing of merit really happens.

Currently we're in the third of those 3 options. If there were still a reason for this fued to continue then fine, but there just isn't. Show wants a title shot. Vickie's given him one so far out of 3 months with him as her lackey. Vickie wants Show to finally rid her of the Undertaker, which Show has still failed to accomplish. Taker... couldn't give 2 shits about Vickie anymore. He's tombstoned her fat ass already. He wanted to beat Show, and he did it.

Now, it's plausible that they'll have one more match, because it's 1-1, and Vickie still isn't rid of Taker so no more Big Show title shots until it happens. Whether we the fans actually want to watch that or not is another thing all together. I love both competitors, always have, but the one punch KO angle opitomises the word 'shit', and the LMS match was just awful, honest to god, awful.

If we HAVE to sit through this, it needs Edge siding with Taker (because his whole HIAC ordeal was essentially Vickie's fault) and then after 1 more PPV this fued must end.

Then put Show in a No.1 contender's fued or something. His fued with The Rock in 2000 after RR and upto and including WM was awesome. He can't continue this whole Vickie Guerrero lackey angle much longer because it's not making a whole deal of sense anymore. If he doesn't get more title shots, then what's the point of him helping the GM? He should go to Raw where Adamle gives any old asshole a World title shot, and then tries to run them into the ground once they're champ.

I see big show taking on some sort of "enforcer" role once edge returns. If that happens, then it will last for a while, with show helping edge win matches until he messes up a few times, and edge and vickie take it too far and show turns on them, and gets a massive pop for doing so.

We've seen this sort of scenario happen before, it's a classic story, and creative likes recycling ideas. Also it gives big show something to do for a while, yet keeps him out of the title picture, and doesn't make him look too weak or too dominant.

 

[Fizzy]

After his Taker feud i'd love to see Big Show in the main event spot. I think he could have a great feud with Trips for the title. I would like to see Show win the title and hold onto it for a few months.

Another option is Big Show/Jeff Hardy feud. I think this feud could be great as Jeff is good at working with bigger guys. I think they could have a pretty good feud for a bit that would benefit both of them.

The last thing I would like to see is a Kozlov/Big Show feud. I think they should team up to take on Trips and Hardy, but then one of them turns on the other for losing the match, sparking a feud between the two. Both are fucking monsters that look like they could just tear anyone apart. I think this feud could be just what Kozlov needs to push him to main event status for a while.

So those are the three things I would like to see Show do after his feud with Taker is completly finished.

Big Show no longer has the capability to be the Monster Giant anymore. That being because if all you do to prove your dominance is attack Undertaker and Triple H it'll get you nowhere for one reason and one reason only... every single big man tries to take out Undertaker and usually fails and attacking Triple H isn't dominant because everyone wants to get their hands on HHH, he's the champ.

When Big Show is done with his current feud with Undertaker, WWE has a couple of things to do with him.
1. They could wait for Umaga to return and renew the feud they were in the midst of doing before Umaga was injured. I think this could turn Umaga face and help elevate his career to what he was when Armando Alejandro Estrada was with him.

2. He could go for the WWE Championship. He has never been a really good World Champion except his E.C.W. Title reign which he didn't defend nearly as much as he could have. When Show is over with 'Taker, I wouldn't want him to go straight for the title, but that's probably why WWE made him feud with 'Taker in the first place.

I think that Show should feud with Umaga first, then possibly go for the title, but WWE always has a hard time finding things to do with him which is why he switches from face to heel so frequently.

I think some of you give the Big Show too much credit, he's had his main-event spot and he has always sucked in it. His title reigns have always been shit. Although when it comes to putting people over few can do it like The Big Show.

I agree that he should have a title shot although they shouldnt put the strap on him but instead try and make him look like a legit threat so they can give him the US title and do what I suggested in my original post, that way whoever takes it from him could be the next breakout star.
