Assuming they actually carry on with it, of course.
It's an odd f***ing pairing on paper for sure, BUT... I think Big Show is surprisingly good at being a hype man and building someone up. We've seen it over the years whenever he's been at ringside for people or on guest commentary, dude can talk.
Sure, it'll probably end up with Big Show in the ring and that's where it falls apart somewhat, but it's an interesting pairing that could really help cover up Crews's main weakness at the moment, and that's his promo game.

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

I think Show would be absolutely fantastic in a veteran mentor role. |

If it ends up in a Big Show vs. Apollo Crews feud, it would have to involve Apollo doing something insane to Big Show. It would at least have to match the insanity of Ryback getting Big Show in the Shellshocked.

Its a really good way to use the older guys, having them mentor and manage.

I actually don't mind this pairing and think it can only work in Apollo's favor.

All of Big Show's advice would consist of "Be 7 feet tall!"

Well, that decision was pretty damn insane. |

I still don't see why Apollo is on RAW when he did next to nothing on NXT

Big Show is one of the best talkers on the roster. Him as Apollo's hype man is a great idea.

That was just a throw away segment. Big Show will put Apollo over in July in a match.

Never trust anything the Big Show does. He turns at the drop of a hat. I don't even know when he turned face.

I still don't see why Apollo is on RAW when he did next to nothing on NXT Because he's jacked as hell, and Vince loves that. Much like Bobby Lashley before him, Crews was put in Raw before he was ready because Vince liked the way he looked. |

I like it, on a side note I think we are heading to a new era vs old era feud. Sortof like Millionaires club vs new blood or Main Event Mafia vs The Frontline.

The forum is really surprising me today. People mostly positive about AJ turning heel and Big Show being back on television.

I think a lot of people have expressed a desire for Show to still be around in any sort of role other than active wrestler. Manager, commentator, GM...he's incredibly entertaining and great at putting other people over on a microphone. It's just when he lumbers towards the main event that the Local Man hat comes out.
