Shocked there's not a thread on this already. Big Show said this morning during a radio interview that he's done after WrestleMania 33. Said he "feels better at 44 than he did 10 years ago, but wants to go out with a bang". What better way to go out than to put over the hottest new pro wrestler, Shaquille O'Neal? Full interview is here. |

I haven't listened to it, but if he said this is his last year with WWE rather than that it's his last year as an in ring performer, it might show (not big) that he doesn't have any plans to stick around in a different role.

Coming soon, Abyss vs Paul "The tall man" white in a taipei death match taped in the parking lot of a recently closed Sears.

WWE will miss a trick if they don't get him in a commentary or managerial role at this stage in his career.

I'd like to see him either still pop up occasionally or hang around as a commentator, but no objections here to the idea of him not being a part of the roster anymore. And indeed he really is in way better condition now than he was in 2006.

Big Show is the wrestler in the company I'm the most tired of and yet probably the dude I'd most like to hang out with and shoot the shit. He seems like the most awesome guy.

I'm thrilled that he's getting out at 44 in good shape. But I'd be lying if I said a little part of me wasn't sad about him retiring. He's one of those guys that I just *can't* dislike as a person.

As stale as he is now, I feel he is the best big man of all time. And for all hard work he's done, it's good to see him leaving on his own terms..

Don't blame the guy.
He just got himself in the best condition he's been in for a long time, and probably doesn't want to ruin it by having to go back on the road full-time.

Giant manager of a cruiserweight? Please?
Also, are we really going to waste retirement on a match with goddamn Shaq?
I for one do not want that juicy Shaq meat clogging up Wrestlemania.

Good on Show for deciding to leave on his own terms like this, he's got nothing left to prove. The man's gonna go down as one of the best big-man wrestlers of all-time, he's pretty much set for life, he's a sure-fire Hall of famer, plus he's currently gotten himself into possibly the best shape of his career.

Has he financially recovered after that bad strip mall deal? |
