Was watching the WCW DVD and Big Show really seemed to dislike Hall and Nash. I did not know there was friction between them and was wondering if anybody knew why it seemed like Big Show had a dislike for them especially since he worked with them so much and it didn't seem like there was ever any noticeable issues with them

Hmm. It is odd. It's not like Nash almost accidently killed Big Show or anything........
*waits for gif*

And you know, when Big Show was supposed to get his justifiable "revenge", Nash chickened out.
Oh yeah, and let's also remember Hall being a jerk to the Show in asking him if he was still the illegitamate son of Andre The Giant (it was only storyline for the first few months and that storyline died a while ago, yet Hall had to bring it up for no reason)

Didn't it have to do with Hall/Nash getting raises and Big Show didn't?

So Nash got the "Giant Killer" nickname for botching a powerbomb?

Yeah it was because Nash was chicken and Botched the move. Also the money deal. After all of that I can see why he would hate them. They did work a lot with him and everytime Nash and Hall did what they could to make him look like a goof.

And the fact that hall and Nash were pulling the string backstage, and the giant never really got the push he deserved. Yeah, I know he was world champ, but he was booked into oblivion

Hell, the only person to truly book a good singles title run for Big Show was Heyman. It's not like a booker botching a push for him is anything new.

Hey, at least show didn't tell them they were half the man he was, and he had half the brain they did.

I believe Hogan actually told him it was a good idea for him to go to the WWF also, since he thought Vince would use him correctly. I am sure Nash/Hall played a part in alot of the younger guys leaving. They were self centered jerks.

So Nash got the "Giant Killer" nickname for botching a powerbomb? As far as I remember, and I could be totally wrong, but the "Giant Killer" name came from Nash beating Wight in a "Loser Leaves Town" match in Show's last WCW match (on Thunder, I believe). I might be totally off on my dates, though.

Didn't Nash fake a heart attack and miss Starrcade '97 so he wouldn't have to lose to the Giant?

I might be totally off on my dates, though. I believe it was the Nitro one week after the Fingerpoke of Doom (January 11th 1999). If Giant lost, he was out of the nWo. In the end, Nash clocked Giant with Bischoff's wrench, then Hall shocked him with his taser, followed by Nash making a snarky shoot comment that he was the only "corporate giant" in the nWo (as it was believed Wight was going to be used in the Corporation in the WWF).

Big Show is nothing but a bitter whiner, who never amounted to anything in the business and blames everybody but himself for that. Hall and Nash were making more money than he was because they were more over than he was. When Show asked for a raise, Bischoff told him that he wasn't over enough, which he wasn't, and then he left WCW for the WWF, where he accomplished a huge of pile of absolutely nothing. He's been the WCW, WWF and ECW Champion and the only title reign that is even remotely memorable is the ECW title reign, which happened in 2006, like, 12 years after his debut in the business.
Big Show was an agile big man when he still bothered to keep himself in shape, but after a year in the WWF, he became nothing but a fat, slow piece of boredom, who adds absolutely nothing to the show.
