It's not that hard to follow. Authority is feuding with Bryan and Show. HBK is just the ref. He's not feuding with anyone (yet). No reason for Show driving the semi? Because he was fired and they wouldn't let him in the building. So he drove one of those so he couldn't be stopped. You guys are making this way more complicated than it really is. No, you don't get it. Everything is horrible and stupid and terrible. What kind of fan are you?

What I wanna know is at what point did someone look at this segment on paper and say, "this could sell tickets." This was the f***ing go-home show! And I bet they're going to hype it to hell on Youtube and Tout as an OMG moment. "Big Show crashes Raw!"

What is this assessment based on? Bret Hart's first run. It's not like everything was going great then Bret Hart won the title. I read all the Observers from 1992 a few months ago and things started falling precipitously right after Wrestlemania VIII, and even that was more of a few weeks spike. And it was all of wrestling in America that crashed at that time, not just WWF.

It was all contrived for the Attitude Era feel of "OH SHIT HE'S DRIVING SOMETHING INTO THE ARENA" and for the cute visual of Bryan Yess'ing atop a truck.

I get the feeling we are going to find out that Big Show is a ghost. Should make for a spooky Halloween Raw. It will end with Show and Bryan passionately making a vase, while Unchained Melody plays.

You just KNOW Hell in a Cell is going to end with Shawn's mopey face while he stares down at Bryan after superkicking him and costing him the match. I've been picturing the image for weeks.

Okay let me break this down the best I can. First of all, Big Show is emotionally unstable and we all have witnessed it. He goes from super happy, to uncontrolled anger, to always sobbing. I think it is weather related but I am not sure. I turned Raw off at the Santino/Lawler dance so I cannot comment on it until it all shows on YouTube, but SenorCrest is on to something. I think Big Show is pregnant.

I was busy most of the night, so I happened to tune in just in time to see Trucker Show doing his thing.
I outright refuse to learn the context behind it because it's funnier this way.

Does it enhance the moment to know there really wasn't any context? That was my favorite part. Like Big Show was all "f*** this boring show I'm gonna do something fun!"

Like Big Show was all "f*** this boring show I'm gonna do something fun!" haha, there was seriously no context? That's beautiful. To be honest, that actually does make it better. Big Show just earned his place in the angle and in my heart because that's amazing. I want every main event angle stretched past its expiration date to have Show just interrupt a promo with his truck because that makes everything better.

What is this assessment based on? Bret Hart's first run. Ya, that Bret sure was a flop. Outdrawing every WWF Champion post '91 Hogan, and every manufactured "next big thing" like Luger and Diesel; so much so that they had to keep giving him the belt until they finally found Austin --the guy made by Bret. What a failure it is to be the top guy in an era where no one was drawing better in the company. Ahem.
