My reaction is generally "well, it's the Big Show." I usually try to get ready for something that I'll never know. Sometimes, I hope I'll see it coming.

by and large, much like most other Attitude-era performers I wish he'd retire and make way for younger and more interesting people. but this "Big Show cries and gets abused by Steph" angle is the right kind of "so bad it's good" so for now I enjoy him. especially when he starts crying again. seriously, this angle's castrated the guy.

Show is fun when he's being a goof, which he is doing something fierce at the moment, but the second that he stops being a bitch and starts kicking Corporation ass is going to be lame as all hell most likely.

Usually: "Meh"
In recent weeks: "Yay! Stand by for crying in 10, 9, 8..."

I thought he was boring until Alberto Del Rio taught me the true meaning of boring.

Used to be "YEAH!" during his initial run and return, "meh" since about 2010, actively disliked him last year, fast forwarded most of this year but his hilariously bad acting recently (didn't he used to be quite good?) has been worth watching.

I've never liked him. I wish the man would retire.

His theme song says it all.
"WELL...IT'S THE BIG SHOW." Like, when I see him I go "Welp. There is he is. Could be funny. Could not. It's...well. It's the Big Show."

The thing about Big Show is that I'm starting to get worried about him.
4-5 more years, and he'll be the same age that Andre was when he died.

I should have added "Damn, this main event is ruined"

Then you also need to consider that Big Show can knock people the f*** out with one punch. It makes sense that Triple H and Stephanie would want him under their thumb. But why should they go to the trouble of holding Ryder/Riley's jobs over their heads? What's Zack gonna do? Viciously teabag Daniel Bryan and Dusty Rhodes until they bend to The New Corporation's will? Is Riley gonna keep reminding Bryan that he teamed with The Miz until he accepts that he can't be the face of the company? Now that I've watched Battleground, I need to add this. What low card faces could hypothetically do that Big Show can't is let Daniel Bryan have the spotlight. Face Big Show is totally stealing Bryan's thunder. That's the primary reason why I suggest lower carders rather than my fandom for them. Someone like Ryder or Riley can be Bryan's second and get their own little rub without needing to be shoved into the forefront Like you said, what's Zack Ryder gonna do? He's not going to wreck everyone and make Bryan look like he needs someone to wipe his ass for him. I don't see Alex Riley "reluctantly dominating" Bryan in a match and hoping that his "fragile little friend" doesn't die.

Indifferent. He's never been my favorite nor have I ever had a strong disliking towards the guy, he just kind of has to be there. At times it's hard to take him seriously as an intimidating heel which you would think would come naturally to a made who is over 7 feet tall and 400lbs. But, he's not the worst guy on there, he can actually be entertaining, unlike another certain 7 footer.

Big Show is like Kane in that at least he tries his damnedest in whatever stupid shit he's in. Gotta give him credit for that.

I can handle him in bursts, but whenever he's near a title or the main event I suddenly get very wary, and for the past couple years he hasn't really brought me much more than apathy at best. Giving him the IC title over Cody so he could get his Wrestlemania moment, fine. But then instead of having Cody go over him, they book Show to lose a table match simply by technicality and mistake, only to have him then lay the rematch-victorious champion out and never really give Cody the chance to come out on top in that feud. Then they move him over to RAW for his heel turn and now we're in the exact same cycle once again.
What I'd like to see is him getting six to eight months off, or of very infrequent use, let him rest up and then come back fresh. It's something I'd like to see most of the people who've been at or around the top for years do, but I think Show most of all falls into the same storylines again and again that he'd really benefit from it.
