I had never heard the American term "strip mall" before and thought it was something to do with strippers and found this whole storyline terribly confusing.
I was in my mid-twenties during this storyline.

I was in my mid-twenties during this storyline. That's probably why his strip mall did poorly, he took the term literally and had strippers regularly show up. I mean this was in a family friendly neighborhood so no wonder it did poorly

He probably funded one of the empty strip malls near my parents house. Just a bunch of empty stores and like one Great Clips or nail salons. Poor Big Show.

My favourite part of that storyline was Stephanie saying she was close to Big Show when she was a child even though there's only 4 years between them.

He really should have rebutted that he felt okay with that strip mall investment because of the iron-clad contract he signed with John Laurinaitis a year earlier, which gave him job security to make such a risky investment.

It seemed like everybody was talking about the iron clad contract from a year prior, while Big Show was crying about how he could lose his job. WWE just expected us all to forget about that storyline.

Didn't they say something like after a bit that he signed a new contract or something like as an aside to get people to stop talking about the ironclad contract?

I vaguely remember something like in the middle of it ... Show said something... but it was clearly not something we were meant to remember... despite it being like his entire thing for the past year ...

It was such a terrible idea to make every store a Dollar Tree. To be fair, it’s probably the only place that can sell his merchandise.

Why would Show sign an iron clad contract that only lasts a year? Wouldn't he negotiate that for many years? And, why would he sign a new one when he had an iron clad one? Gee, it's almost as if this was a dumb storyline.

Isn't that where this was from? It was actually 2012 when Laurinaitis fired him and started another feud with Cena.

I wasn't watching at the time, but find this arc oddly hilarious in hindsight. More wrestling stories should be motivated by personal finances.
