Big Show on commentary appreciation thread

[Deleted]

Holy shit he called the match better then any of the announcers. He actually called the match, put over Rollins, said heelish things about Roman Reigns without burying him, wasn't obnoxious as f***, and most importantly he actually called the match and was entertaining and not obnoxious at the same time!

He's knocking it out of the park with the happy heel gimmick. Him coming out all smiles and waving is fantastic, his best work in YEARS.

I am one of the very few Big Show fans in this board.

He is especially gold when he is a heel.

[fw91]

the excessive frequent turning has made me lose all interest in anything he does.

[carp (SPC, Itoh Respect Army)]

Dude's been gold on the mic his whole career. The announce table shoulda been his home years ago.

I actually really like Big Show but i do agree that its time he steps away from the main event. However, i do like the idea of him being a 'bodyguard' for Rollins

I would like to see him become an announcer in the future. He would probably make a better colour commentator than JBL so they should give him a shot on NXT (replace Riley with Show and NXT would be even better)

[Deleted]

Everything about replacing those three goofballs with him appeals to me. Big Show's way better at it than they are, and it'd keep him from wrestling. Win / win!

And yeah, best part of that match. Not that hard, without him the referee would've been the most interesting thing about it, but he was great and it did alleviate the boredom somewhat.

Selling the match and selling the moves. What a novel concept.

Wade Keller said it best on Austin's podcast last night: RAW and SD's commentary teams sound like Talk Radio.

[Pushed to the Moon]

I have no interest in watching Big Show matches but he should replace JBL as soon as possible.

[Deleted]

It's because since he's not a real commentator he's not being told to say 9.99, WWE app, Flying Usos, and skull in his headset 250 times an episode.

Big Show's an all time great, everything he does he throws himself at it 100%, I think the problem lies in that the things they have him do are often stupid.

I fell asleep during the tag title match so I missed it, but I told edgestar last week that I'd love Big Show as a color commentator. As long as he'd be able to do his own thing, I mean.

[mizerable]

Big Show was really selling Rollins as a threat last night. He was being a better heel commentator than JBL.

And while Big Show would be a quality heel commentator if given that full time opportunity, do we really want him turning into JBL in the longrun?

[FinalGwen]

The best moment of commentary all night was him going 'wow' at one of Roman's moves, then repeating it in a slightly dejected tone like 'dammit, I didn't mean to make him look strong'.

[Gawk Rivers]

I just want him to be buddies with Seth Rollins forever after that.

[g1megatronfan]

I ended up muting him during his 20 minute blowing of Seth Rollins. Between him and Bradshaw...it sounded like all 3 needed to just get a room and get it over with. By the way...did you know Rollins is the future? I thought I'd repeat that in case you missed it the first 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 either Bradshaw or Show said it last night.

Big Show is a legitimate giant who's good in the ring and great on the mic, it amazes me that the WWE have been able to screw him up so badly the mention of his name fills people with dread.

To be fair I get that reaction to just about anybody who's been a regular, prominent fixture in wrestling for the past twenty years. *coughKANEJERICHOTRIPLEHRVDcough* Though Big Show outside of some rare bright spots has been having me give that reaction since like mid-2000.

Of course, if Show was at the announce table full time, he'd have Vince and Dunn in his ear...

[edgestar]

I've always liked Show. He was awesome last night, and the "big brother/little brother" type admiration he and Rollins have for each other, is sweet.
