Whats left for the Big Show?

[Zaq "That Guy" Buzzkill]

So Big Show has had an interesting career. He is the only man to have held the WCW, WWE, and ECW titles, has had SEVERAL heel/face turns, has dropped in and out of the main event, been a tag champion(Jerishow was the only thing that kept me watching raw in 2009) and has pretty much accomplished everything there is to accomplish in WWE except win the Royal Rumble(which is something I hope he does not do now).

So, after all this. whats left for the guy? He's entertaining to watch, but is getting to slow for the Main Event, can't be a jobber because it would ruin his giant gimmick. I honestly can't see what else he can do for the rest of his (short?) career.

Thoughts?

Bodyguard or on screen mentor for a new guy .

Best bet a pro on NXT

[Lord Bendtner]

He's got a couple years left in him. He'll be gone by WM29/30 I'd say.

I don't think he's had a 1-on-1 WM Main Event yet (I am not count him v. Mayweather). It's been 3 and 4 way matches. I could still see him having one last run as a monster heel, dropping the belt in the main event of WM.

His first WrestleMania match was a one-on-one against Mankind.

I would've been cool with him taking the belt off Swagger. In fact, I would have much preferred Big Show beating him at Fatal Four Way, instead of Rey. He seemed to find a new comfortable role as the "jolly (not so green) giant", and I found him to be entertaining around that time period.

Not sure what to do with him now, though. Good question.

[percymania]

He could be a decent threat to end the Undertaker's streak. Let us forget that debacle at WM XIX involving A-Train and Nathan Jones.

[BigWill]

I keep expecting him to get a title shot with the way they're booking him. Can't remember the last time he lost a match clean. I personally wouldn't mind seeing him get one more run with the title before retiring or maybe go into a managers role.

[theshowstoppa]

Royal Rumble winner or Intercontinental/US Champion. He hasn't done any of these things and it would beef up his accomplishments.

He could transition into more of a special attraction guy, like the Undertaker.

If he were looking to retire, he should take a midcard belt and hold it for a long time, beating tons of people who try to get it from him. Then, have an up and coming midcarder they want to push take it from him.

When he dropped the US Title to John Cena at Wrestlemania it was a really awesome moment. I think repeating it would be a good way for him to go out while putting some over. He doesn't even have to be a heel to do this.

[theshowstoppa]

My bad on the US title, i forgot Show held it

[The Cool Pup]

I'm not sure what he has left, he seems like he's riding the end of his career now as this fun babyface that is a threat but never actually wins.

Him and Cena

[Marksus]

Join Punk to take out Cena.

Then have a main event run against Cena, Punk moves on to World title matches (vs Orton when he beats The Miz).

[Bearer is God]

He can just show up every week and throw out DVD's that no-one will buy.

I'd like to know how his WWE career win/loss record looks:

Smackdown: 132-11
PPV: 2-74

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

I would give him one of the big belts for ages and let him drop it at Mania to an upcoming face, while retiring.

He seems like he's always going to be a company guy.

I can see him with a backstage role of some sort..I can't really see him wrestling for another promotion.

The only thing left for Big Show that might actually work is a gig at the announcer's table with Matt Striker & Josh Matthews. He's funny and has a personal insight over what it's like to take on the guys, which is why "jock-casters" have a reason for being in the booth in sports. (It would be less-taxing on the body than going out every week for no real reason.)
Once in awhile, a heel might take offense to "The World's Largest Commentator" and have a personal vendetta against him. Big Show would be all like, "I'm here to commentate, not wrestle." Guy insists. Maybe a sneak-attack at the buffet table or something. Maybe a simple kayfabe angle where they break the guy's leg, put him "on the shelf" for a couple of months. (I know Punk and the SES "broke" his hand once, but a week or two later, they just completely skipped over this.) Get Big Show mad enough where he gets "SRS" about wanting to shut this guy up.
But, don't make this a SmackDown event. Put it on PPV, the ONLY PLACE part-time wrestlers should wrestle. Make it worth the wait.

Otherwise, they've dropped the ball with this guy so many times, there's really nothing for him. They've never really booked Big Show as a true unbeatable giant. Nowadays when he's wrestling in the ring, every opponent takes him out at the knees early in the match.

I like the guy.
