Big Show in the poor house!
The WWE really needed to do something about ‘iron clad contract’ that became part of Big Show’s storyline when he was a heel. That he was standing by and watching Bryan getting beaten down without doing anything about it made less than no sense. I’m not sure that Steph talking to her giant helped the situation, or hurt it.
Now, I know she was very close to Andre, but I didn’t know she was close with Big Show like that. Further, she was talking about when she was twelve and Big Show looking at her like she was still that little girl. The problem with that is that Steph is 36 now, and Big Show didn’t join the WWE (was with WCW) until 1999. Steph was 23, so it is impossible that Big Show was the giant she looked up to when she was a little girl growing up.
The WWE took one plot hole and turned it into a bigger one. Further, this whiny, crying, blithering mess that Big Show has turned into is just horrible! What were they thinking?
Prime time swayers!
I can’t get over how many groups of fans threw arms around each other swaying as O’Neil and Young headed to the ring. Young comes out of the closet, and I’m so proud of him for that, but there was no way they could stay heels after that, and the fans are loving them! I also have to give Young props for that belly-to-belly he’s added to his ring arsenal. He hits that thing beautifully every time!
Walrus is a weasel!
Watching Trip gloat over Heyman’s possible beating being good for business had me on the floor. The way those two men work off each other, and use their real past to make their segments that much better, is something that every superstar should be doing.
Fire is your friend!
Bray Wyatt stole the hour with his video about Kane. We all know that Kane being gone means that they’re trying to brainwash him into their cult, so they have to be setting up for something big, and giving Kane some time off to heal up from the constant bumps and bruises they all deal with. Also, Kane might be off filming See No Evil 2, I’ve heard rumours that it was in the works, sooner rather than later. The way they integrated the chain and hook into Kane’s character last time was fantastic, so I’m excited to see what they will do this time around.
