Big Show Disastrous Strip Mall Investment

[romanstylesiii]

I heard he's now working at Walgreens. Poor guy

[EvenBaldobombHasAJob]

Low key one of my favorite terrible storylines. I wish they did more with it.

Broke HBK with sexual harassment sounding JBL was funnier. But this was hilariously bad too.

[Timeless Hayterade]

The part that struck me as the funniest was when the Authority had Big Show knock Miz out. One week, he'd cry over having to knock out Dusty Rhodes. The next week, he's told to knock out the Miz and he does it without a second thought.

I mean, the Miz has one the most punchable faces in Wrestling. The Dream is The Dream, baby! Punching him out is like punching out America!

Well...

It was such a terrible idea to make every store a Dollar Tree.

Also to be fair, Dusty Rhodes was in his late 60s at the time and beloved.

I forgot that was a legit storyline and not one of the weird board memes like "MVP attacking Triple H with a screwdriver" or "Christian running a Malaysian slavery ring."

[DrBackflipsHoffman]

one of the funnier bad things they did and I wish they had somehow gone and done vignettes at a closed strip mall with Big Show dressed like a hobo

[Dave the Dave]

It was made even better because by 2014 he was just gleefully in the Authority and a total dick

[EvenBaldobombHasAJob]

I still wonder what stores he put in there. A Blockbuster video or an American Apparel perhaps?

[Deleted]

It's cool that there are people who can enjoy it in a "so bad, it's good" way, but that was a painfully boring time for me.

That would have been a smidge more dignified than when they made him dress like Baby New Year for a promo right after the angle concluded.

Isn't that where

this was from?

and then the big dumb idiot threatens to sue teh company but drops it for a title shot that he loses anyway >_>

[lucas_lee]

He can always invest in a WCW Reboot and be back in this storyline again

Yes it was. He had been fired for losing a match and apparently there's 0 job opportunities anywhere else for a man his size so he was going to be broke.

If Big Show actually remembered to have more than one checkout lane open at a time at those stores, he might have made a profit.

[bmfjules]

And that's why Big Show was never invited back on Shark Tank.
