The conceit that somehow Big Show's size

What I want to know is how they expect us to believe that Big Show is out of money.

His net worth was 30mil last year. What kind of strip mall scheme did he invest in?

I mean damn.

I was a hard enough sell when it was broke HBK but at least there was a four year lay off he wasn't that far removed from. Show's been in a steady stream of main events for almost twenty years straight.

It's even funnier out of context.

It frightens me out of context.

[The Last Hero]

Cops come in "Hey Big Show, you threatened HHH time to jail!"
Stephanie comes in "Hai don't arrest Big Show he is under stress, look he had to punch these three people in the face. Oh and by the way he doesn't perform well enough sexually for his wife. Ok, bye now."

They really need to kill this storyline with Big Show because it's literally been Wrestlecrap personified. Also, the use of "real" police is all kinds of stupid.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

It's annoying and makes it so hard to root for Big Show. Like it seems he's too good to get a regular 9-5 job.

I'm still baffled as to where this whole "Big Show is broke" thing came from.

The foulest depths of someone's ass, I'm guessing.

Exactly. It makes no sense really. His position is cemented and it's not believable by any means. It's like we're supposed to believe a guy who's been main eventing since the mid-90s, who's always on the road, who's in movies and tv shows, who's net worth was 30mil last year supposedly has no money. It just makes no sense.

One of the worst was when HHH was naming the only jobs that Big Show could get and started naming off cheap menial jobs, and mentioned airport baggage handler. Only problem is, those guys make big time bucks and if Show is so hard up, thats a great job to get.

[johnnytightlips]

It reminds me all too much of the JBL/HBK feud.

Also, you'd think his "Iron Clad" contract would have prevented this.

[mizerable]

I'm starting to wonder if he's going to be the novelty replacement for Stone Cold at next year's Mania.

So...only 6 more months of him crying after punching people?

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

They picked the guy to be broke who went on and on about his iron-clad contract.

Oh wait, it's only iron clad unless we fire you.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

the entire Big Show angle is so misconceived that it's hilarious. and that's BEFORE he starts crying and making funny angry faces. this is The Room of wrestling angles, between nonsensical plot and Show and Steph's ridiculous melodramatic acting.

[crowwreak was WRONG]

Because this storyline literally repels logic

[Kevin Hamilton]

I also love the cops coming to investigate him "threatening a co-worker" and Steph smoothing things over by indicating he's just distraught about all the other co-workers he's knocked out. And the cops are all "oh, well ok then."

[CM Dazz]

Besides wrestling, first thing I thought was, "dude can get a job as a bodyguard in a heartbeat".

Such a stupid storyline from start to fin- whatever part this is. Oh, & enough with the crying & blubbering like a little f***ing baby all the time! ENOUGH!

Although, those faces... I haven't laughed that hard in a long, looong, time. Still can't decide what was funnier though, Big Show's faces, or Paul E./Ryback.

[Deleted]

I think someone should just mentioned to Show that he could just go work for TNA, and he'd laugh.


Oh, how he'd laugh.


And then he'd be happy again. Forever.

I could buy someone like Ryder, Hawkins, JTG, or Riley crying and begging for his job

JTG...KNOCK HIM OUT!



I GOTS TO. I GOTS TO TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY.



CHYEA!

[Young Game]

If Big Show's contract really is clad in iron...WHY DOESN'T HE JUST SELL THAT?!?
What's iron going for on the market nowadays?

[Hit Girl]

The Big Show storyline hasn't worked, because it's illogical on multiple levels.

The plot-hole of his iron clad contract, the absurdity of him supposedly being broke, and the ridiculous argument that he couldn't find work elsewhere.
