Big Show to Return

[Knoxville]

source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

It was noted earlier in the week that a multi-time world champion was making his return to World Wrestling Entertainment.

That individual is none other than "The Big Show" Paul Wight. He has either signed with the company or agreed to a deal. He will be starting full-time imminently.

After leaving professional wrestling about a year ago, Wight started to pursue a possible career in boxing. He did some boxing training and got his weight down to about 440 pounds, thus leaving him in good shape. Wight had a boxing deal in place in which Hulk Hogan would have been his "front man" -- acting like a manager for him by doing promos and appearances. Hogan's involvement was the main reason many boxing promoters were actually interested in Big Show and paying him so much money to learn the sport.

I always liked Big Show and I'm glad to see him come back to the WWE. It shows that TNA isn't a viable option for many wrestlers now, with even Chris Harris leaving them for the WWE.

[Woo]

I like the Big Show too. I was watching the 2006, Let's Milk Eddie Guerrero's Death, Royal Rumble yesterday and really enjoyed Big Show's interactions with HHH, Rey, Kane and Lashley in it and thought that he was really athletic for a man of his size (understand I have been watching a lot of older WWE PPV's and seeing guys like Akeem, Earthquake, Tugboat and early 90's Andre makes you appreciate Big Show.

Is anyone else getting flashbacks to the 2001 Rumble where he made a surprise return and destroyed everyone in the ring? Do it again WWE! Have him take out Kahli!

[Knoxville]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, I think a Show vs. Khali monster vs. monster match at WM would be great, I'd love for him to come back as a face though, he can be pretty funny at times.

Although if they were to bring him back as hell, they need heyman too.

I would like to see a Triple Threat at WM24

Kane V Khali V The Giant


for the right to call themselves "THE MONSTER" of WWE.... cause if Kane retires like he suppose to Khali could finally be forced to move over and allow the The Giant some screen time

[Woo]

While the spectacle of 3 huge guys in the ring might be a good sight and would probably have Metalbade markng out over it, it would be a terrible, terrible match. Kans vs Khali at last years Mania was horrible and with Show there it would be worse.

I don't want Kane to retire yet, I'm enjoying his feud with Shelton and it could help both of them. I'd rather see Khali go and it must have embrassed some people in the WWE at the rumble with the whole of MSG chanting "you can't wrestle"

So Big Show is not back yet, I'm quite suprised. I was sure he was going to be number 30 in the rumble, only to be suprised by Cena's return instead. I can't really see a place for Show on any of the rosters though at the moment.

that was one of the highlights of the Royal Rumble which was only slighly overshadowed by his very poor attempted to be knocked out and then look shocked

[Woo]

lol, I thought it was quite sad watching him as he just doesn't know what to do in the ring and just stand still hesitating unsure of how to react to being punched and unsure of when to fight back himself.

I liked it when Khali looked at the crowd when they were chanting and looked cross, despite not being able to speak English. I wonder if his translater was like "They love you! They really love you!"

What? That would be a truly awful spectacle, even for me!
Anything remotely linked to Khali would be an awful sight.

While Big Show, I can just about handle, he will never come close to being as great as when he was The Mad Scottish Drunk.
And Kane has not been Kane to me sinve he lost the mask.
In losing the mask, he lost all credibilty to me.
He should have at least had a half-mask, like The Warlord.

And by the way I lied above^^^. Big Show has never been as good as when he was The Giant in WCW (not nWo).
And his last great appearance was bursting through the ring at St Valentine's Day Massacre an tossing Austin through the cage.

While I do mark for massive killer wrestlers like Taker, Warlord, Warrior, Tomko and other legends, Khali has done nothing to win me over.
I'd like Bobbo Sappo to come in and destroy him one day.

By the way, fluffesk, that's the greatest sig on PS2. I love it.
It's like something Steala would do intentionally.
