Will Big Show Be WWE/WHC Within 12 Months?

[MGH]

Just got to watch this week's Smackdown, and I have to admit I was suprised when Big Show beat Undertaker again. Given the fact that their feud ended months ago, I figured it was a given that Taker would win. He didn't though, and Show also got a clean win over Rey whom WWE absolutely loves to protect to an absurd degree in these big man vs. little man situations. Show didn't exactly look like a chump at Mania either. Took an Attitude Adjustment then another guy being dropped on him to get the pin. Don't forget the win he had over Cena not long ago either.

So simply put, is this a build to put the belt on Big Show at some point down the line on Raw, or is this simply just a case of the old school WWE way of building up a monster to feed him to a top babyface?

If I had to guess I'd say the latter of being fed to Cena again. I predicted a scenario in the Backlash thread where he gets involved in the Edge-Cena LMS match, accidentally costing Cena the match and leading to a feud with those two that puts over Cena while the WWE title situation plays out between Orton, Batista, and Triple H. Cena gets the winner out that situation leading to either Cena-Orton or the long awaited Cena-Batista II that they wanted to do at WM25 before Dave got hurt.

The KO punch finisher that they've been putting over is perfect for the LMS scenario, and it's the only way I can figure out why he's getting this monster push yet he's conspicuously not even on the Backlash card.

That said I wouldn't rule out Big Show as a champion at some point in the next 12 months if they need a transitional champion. Even as a monster he's never going to be THE guy on either of the top 2 brands, especially as a relative veteran at this stage in his career.

[Marvelously Mediocre]

he's on a roll. he deserves to win.

[Robbymac]

I don't see it. Not on Raw.

[Fiddleford H. McGucket]

I see him, as parder said, as a transitional champ. Or an Injury plan B champion.

[wrestlecrapcrap]

I have a strange opinion of Show. I'm tired of him simply because it's so obvious that he is used as a classic monster, built up only to lose to one of the 'real' stars. That's fine and it's meant to happen and all, but it means I don't really care for Show all that much.

However if they booked him as totally unstoppable, I'll think he's awesome. Losing to Taker would have been typical of the monster type booking, but he won. Make him champ and just totally unstoppable. That'd be interesting to see who would finally beat him.

I'd rather they didn't do Cena/Show though. It's been done, it's pretty obvious how it would go, and no-one is really clammering to see it. There's just not really any need to put Cena over Show.

[The Genesis of KoOS]

Yeah he's a backup champion at best, if he was still on Smackdown, sure. But Show has to contend with Orton, HHH, Cena, and Tista.

[derrtaysouth95]

Big Show is someone the company can always put the title on and it be a believable scenario imo.

He makes for a good transitional champion.

[fw91]

If he does it will most likely be a transitonal reign nothing of significance.

[Dynamite Kid]

I hope so, but I doubt it.

[azz0r]

If it goes the same was as his ECW run, then hell yeah.

[4real]

He's beaten Jeff Hardy, Rey and Taker clean (Well maybe not Jeff so much) in the last week so I'm guessing he's in line for a monster push on RAW.

That being said I only see him winning the title if somebody gets injured, that belt should be Orton's at least till Summerslam.

[neilfrazier]

Not a chance on Raw. Aside from the fact that Orton, Batista, Cena, and HHH will always be ahead of him, the Big Show's pushes never last, and kind of falls into the Kane category of misused talent. His knockout punch gimmick is cool, but history says he could lose that gimmick overnight and fall in generic monster that bores the crowd category.

[Professor Chaos]

Not this time Peg.

[mainsupreme]

He really deserves it, make him unstoppable. HHH, Cena and Batista can't beat him untill summerslam or survivor series. Make him a yokozuna type monster

[Sumbody Gon' Get Dey Kneelift]

Judging by what happened at Backlash, I wouldn't say it's out of the question.
