I want to know more about Big Shows Strip Mall investment

[Zaq "That Guy" Buzzkill]

Why did he invest in a strip mall? What went wrong? What stores did it have? Did it not meet quality standards for Strip Malls?
This is something we need to know FAN.

Big Show....just has a strip mall addiction. He can't help it. He sees a strip mall, he buys it. It's a sickness, it really is.

[PKO]

Strip Mall sounds intriguing. Are they Malls full of Strip joints?

[Dave the Dave]

You just can't start Jack in the Box on the east coast man. Doesn't work.

You'll find out everything in the WWE Network's first flagship program, "Big Show's Strip Mall Investment", a dramedy dealing with the big man's biggest investment. The show promises to answer who was in the white Humvee, who was driving the Nexus' limo, and many more.

My personal favorite of the screener episodes released was the episode with Kane's golf store, things get wacky! Second would be the episode where Show must teach his son the value of a dollar (his son is played by John Cena). Also keep an eye out for the hidden Santino in every episode, he provides a clue as to where the series will go next!

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Besides that it makes him cry for some odd reason?

Interesting timing of this thread. Because about an hour ago, details regarding the strip mall investment were brought forth...

BIG SHOW'S STRIP MALL STRIPS BIG SHOW OF MONEY

Questions regarding Big Show's failed investments have come into question recently after Monday's live airing of Monday Night RAW. Many believe that Big Show's financial failings is a storyline and that it's not real. Others think that it's possible that perhaps it's grossly overexaggerated. The truth regarding Big Show's money management is that he really did invest a six figure sum into building a strip mall in Dunedin, Florida in 2005. Here is photo of the property in question.



One thing you'll notice is that there are no business signs on any of the establishments. This is because the photo was taken last month. All of the businesses that once operated in this strip mall either went belly-up or moved their operations into another facility. Many attribute the strip mall shortcomings due to rumors that the property was built on an ancient Seminole burial ground. Others believe that the reason is because of the economy. Whether its financial instability or the spirit of a Seminole chief flickering lights on and off for his own personal amusement, the strip mall was a massive dollar-bill boner for Big Show.

These are the businesses that once occupied the available space.

FedExKinko's Opened in 2005, closed in 2012. The most successful of all the businesses in the strip mall. Closed down after complaints alleging the owner, Todd DeKlercq, of putting watermark penises on all copier paper.

Bruce Lee Rodriguez's Puerto Rican Hapkido Opened in 2008, closed in 2010. Trying to feed off the popularity of MMA, BLRPRH was a fake martial art created by Italian scam artist Federico Puscinelli in order to make money off people wanting to learn a form of fighting. Allegations surfaced after several students claimed that not only did they not learn any sweet fighting moves, they realized that they seemed to know even less about fighting after several weeks of classes. The only thing taught was how to do jumping jacks and kick as high frontward as possible.

Tom Tully's Timeshare Terrain Opened in 2010, closed in 2011 in place once occupied by the Puerto Rican Hapkido spot. Place shut down by feds after seven months when it was discovered that it was also ran by Italian scam artist Federico Puscinelli only now he doesn't have a mustache. Puscinelli is currently serving a five-year prison sentence for selling pre-owned condoms out of his station wagon.

Maxine's Button Emporium Opened in 2005, closed in 2006. A store dedicated to selling nothing but buttons. Literally nothing else. Just a big giant box filled with buttons Maxine found roaming around the streets of central Florida.

Puscinelli's Pizza Parlor Opened in 2007, closed in 2011. A family-friendly pizzeria which closed due to the unfortunate coincidence that the pizzeria shared the same name as the aforementioned Italian scam artist Federico Puscinelli, even though there was absolutely no relation between him and the founders of the pizzeria.

Fayva's Shoes Opened in 2006, closed in 2007. Former footwear giant Fayva's tried making a comeback in the mid-2000s and decided to re-start their business enterprise at strip mall. Failed quickly due to the fact that they only sold shoes that didn't get sold during liquidation of their old business. Shoes like British Knights, LA Gear, the Reebok Pump and Dockers deck shoes never came back in style unfortunately for Fayva's.

Red's Red Hots Opened in 2009, closed in 2010. A hot dog stand owned by William "Red" Yeldon, former Vietnam war vet and nudist, the business went under quickly when it was discovered that Red had a propensity to work buck naked usually only wearing a hairnet even though he was bald and a double breasted chef jacket that ended above the waistline.

Marjorie's Margarine Warehouse Opened in 2010, closed in 2010. A store that sold margarine from around the world. Owned by cat lady enthusiast Marjorie "Marge" Neumann, the place ceased operations after one of Marge's cats, Butterpaws, came down with kitty cancer and the hospital bills were too expensive to keep the cat alive AND run a business. Butterpaws died in April due to being run over by street cleaning vehicle. He was eight years old.

Alisher's Uzbekistani Cuisine Opened in 2009, closed in 2012. A restaurant that specialized in Uzbekistan dining. Very unsuccessful enterprise due to lack of a Central Asian community in the greater Dunedin area. Rumors persist that there was an illegal cockfighting ring happening on Friday nights behind the restaurant. No such claims can be proven, even though rooster-related meals, not a staple of Uzbekistan, were being offered for extraordinarily cheap prices.

Betamaximum Opened in 2005, closed in 2006. Store that sold betamax tapes. Eventually caved in and started selling VHS tapes two months later. Changed business name to VHYes! Caved in one month later and started selling Laserdisc and changed name to LaserDiscovery. Gave up three weeks later and was just known as the place teenagers bought their weed.

Probably bought into that whole Facebook IPO nonsense, then sold his shares three months later to invest whatever he had left in pumpkins just in time for winter.

[The Masked Heel WAS WRONG]

He was doomed the second he put Circuit City and Border's as his strip mall's anchors.

Shit man, that was brilliant...

[Deleted]

This just reminds me of how for the longest time, I thought strip malls were similar to strip mines.

I hold Captain Planet responsible considering how often strip mines were a thing on that show.

[slappy]

In Wrestling With Shadows, Vader talks about being a licensed real estate broker and was developing a 100,000 square foot shopping center. Vader must have got Show to invest.

This is all Vader's fault.

It's another way of saying shopping center, shopping plaza, or mini mall.

I literally never heard the term "strip mall" until the last year or so. Everyone I know used to just call them shopping centers.

[BorneAgain]

I just have to know if Show was so desperate for money he agreed to dress up in a monkey suit and dance in front of JBL's restaurant.

[Deleted]

Wang's Noodle House just never caught on for some reason.

[Sephiroth]

A store that sold betamax tapes?

[thegame415]

They failed to mention his buying partner was Sin Cara.
