Huge monsters like Big Show should be an occasional special attraction or the champion. Keeping them around for such a long time really kills what makes them special.

Anyone have the gif of Big Show accidentally putting his foot through a table in a table match? He had an amazing ...oh poo poo... expression.

This all having been said: If WWE still put out DVDs they would have a hell of a time filling out a 'Big Show's best matches' DVD. I don't blame him though. Hotter Take: Big Show had the potential to be an all time great if he were smaller and could go all-out during matches. There's only so much you can do with your body when you're that big. I mean the dude tried (this vid didn't show the 20 seconds it took show to get to the top rope) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7RTE6rE_Bg

Like Big Show in 2012 when he spent a month terrorizing everybody after turning heel at a PPV only to be defeated by John Cena the show after. (To their credit I think it was Cena + 4 other guys for once, but he still lost) Or you know...The Fiend. Or Kane when he fought the Undertaker for the first time...and lost. Oh but before we leave the Cena track. Hell if I'm watching WWE right now but I think I'd rather have Seth poopoo and peepee himself then the John Cena "HOW WILL HE OVERCOME THESE OD...oh he just did. Let me at least finish the drat question John" ChrisBTY fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Oct 18, 2019 |

big show was cool but his chokeslam looked like absolute poo poo after the glory days of WCW. he made up for it by doing that cool cobra-clutch backbreaker to helicopter throw for a bit which was absolutely top-notch. he has that jericho thing where he was a good worker searching for a satisfying finish for a long while until he realised "just hit a bitch in the face." we got there in the end but we had to suffer through the Hog Log along the way

It was from back when he was The Giant in WCW, but I have always loved the scene in The Waterboy where Captain Insano laughs so hard he starts crying  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex7xsCFI_c8

And he always said it was so much harder for him to stay in shape and eat properly while on a road schedule, so WWE 2008-2015 was peaks and waves of Show comes back in amazing shape —> why the hell is this fat gently caress still a heel/face —> Show gets time off and gets in better shape.

It's really kind of incredible how much better WCW booked the Giant than WWE did the Big Show. Up until the very end when Nash finally Kevin Nashed him, the Giant was treated like walking death for whoever he was facing. It usually took gigantic scmozz finishes for the opponent to have a chance

He was like a normal sized dude who was like the only one who could take out the whole nWo. I also remember a match between the Giant and Sting where Sting busted out a toprope Scorpion Death Drop. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4np4c Shard fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Oct 18, 2019 |

What's everyone's favourite Jericho moment? The guy's gimmick is reinventing his gimmick and he's been doing it for nearly 3 decades so I'm sure there's a million of them. Personally, I'm a big fan of 2001 Y2J before they hosed up his main event push. His feud with Regal was great.

I'm extremely fond of shirtless Jericho rambling on a random road in the middle of nowhere and cutting a promo on a tortoise. That one also got us "I'll see you on June 6 at Dominion... FUCKFACE!"

Probably his WWF debut because I wasn't 100% sure it was going to be him. Then "JERICHO" appeared on the tron and the place went nuts, followed by him doing the iconic pose for the first time. Underrated Jericho moment: telling Mankind that the only reason so many people read his book was to see if he died at the end.

I really enjoyed his run as best friends with Kevin Owens, culminating in the Festival of Friendship and I believe the first time someone turned heel on him instead of the other way around. And he sold it so well. "...how come my name's on this?"

Actually, I've just remembered my all time single favourite Jericho moment. This feud is probably one of my favourite of all time. And it's because I genuinely believed that these two loving hated each other. Which is really rare, especially for the Rock. He's usually so cool and joking around, but Jericho got under his skin so well that it kind of turned Rock into a petty dick as well whenever they were on screen. It was awesome.

Jericho's run as Undisputed champion was really bad but the lone bright spot was the leadup to his title defense vs Rock at Royal Rumble '02. Jericho losing his loving mind screaming his lungs out and demanding he not be dismissed, disrespected, or treated as a joke, only for the Rock to calmly stroll up the ramp, walk a little circle around Jericho, and confirm that he is, in fact, taking Jericho very seriously, and none of his usual Rock-isms about whooping candy asses and whatnot are in any way meant to be funny. The few times Rock got quiet and serious were really effective. Jericho's run as a tantrum-throwing inept fluke champion less effective, but that particular promo was really good.

So in WCW, Jericho hounded almost every cruiserweight, none more than Dean Malenko. He beats Malenko, takes his title and then makes fun of Malenko all the time after he takes time off to mourn the passing of his father. This goes on for a while, all the while Jericho keeps dominating the cruiserweight division, sometimes never even taking his belt off in a match. All this leads to a big battle royal to crown his next challenger. Before the match starts Jericho introduces all the entries making fun of their names. In the end it comes down to Juventude Guerrero and Ciclope who have a little chat followed by Juventude eliminating himself. Jericho gets in the ring to challenge him now only for Ciclope to take his mask off and ITS DEAN loving MALENKO THE ICEMAN THE MAN OF A 1000 HOLDS AND HE KICKS JERICHO'S loving rear end. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7g4dh

Austin and Jericho in the ring after the show goes off the air. Austin throws a beer to Jericho to tries to catch it behind his back all cool. He misses. Jericho and Austin freeze, Austin staring at Jericho, Jericho looking like a deer in headlights. Austin tosses him another beer, Jericho drops it and immediately throws a tantrum, knowing what's coming. Austin calmly walks over and does a baby toss to Jericho, who has the look of someone that knows he hosed up and is accepting the condescension but is still mad about it. Jericho drinks beer, eats Stunner. Absolute perfection.
