Show is one of my favourite guys in the history of the business, despite having a largely atrocious body of work.

I 100% agree with Bruce Pritchard when he says this should have been saved for after Wrestlemania. This felt like over egging the pudding.

History of Big Show's face and heel turns.
Turns face against Vince at Wrestlemania 15 joins the Union
Turns heel and joins the Unholy Alliance with Undertaker
Turns face and feuds with Big Boss Man
Turns heel and feuds with the Rock before Royal Rumble
Turns face and feuds with Shane McMahon
Turns heel and joins Shane McMahons conspiracy stable?
Returns to Royal Rumble 2001 as a heel
Turns face as a member of WWF during the Invasion and forms Show Gunns
Turns heel and joins the NWO
I can't remember any more after this. Somebody end my pain.

When Steve Austin pinned Big Show on the March 22nd 1999 Raw, I have always wondered why Austin had no issue of it been built up and saved for PPV

Nice guy. Always booked like shit. Him as ECW champion was good. It's kind of a weird one in that having him wrestle, like, Batista in the Hammerstein Ballroom was not a great idea in terms of how fans would react, but he was still presented strongly as a big deal. |

It's a cool strength spot, but when your first impression of a guy is him directly causing Austin to beat Vince, at best he looks like a bit of an idiot. |

Big Show for me is one of those guys I have a lot of respect for.
However I've just never been a massive fan.
If that makes sense.

"YOU CAN'T WRESTLE!" "I DON'T HAVE TO!" Not sure exactly when that was, but still a stand out Big Show moment. |

There was an article from late last year (cagesideseats maybe?) and I want to say their official count on Big Show turns was 34. I believe it counted WCW as well. EDIT: Ok i used GoogleFu and found it: www.cagesideseats.com/2018/11/28/18115890/every-one-of-big-show-s-turns-in-wcw-and-wwe |

Said he was quiet and he ordered a whole pie. lol. But yeah, he came into the WWF turning like a propeller. Debuts as a heel in February, attacks Vince in March, faces Mankind in the Boiler Room in April. And I imagine Austin didn't have a problem facing Show on tv back then, was because they still had WCW around, and they were going all big all the time. Anything to keep eyes on them and not WCW. |
