#4 Big Show
Very much in the same boat as Braun Strowman is Big Show, although from the opposite perspective as far as careers go. While Strowman is a younger Superstar in need of a continued push to solidify his future, Big Show is a veteran and future first-ballot Hall of Famer on his way out of the business.
Both men were treated as prominent members of the build to the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal match—as they should have been—yet they were eliminated at nearly the same moment midway through the match.
Who in the world thought it was a good idea for someone like Epico to last longer than the two biggest men in the whole field?!
This is upsetting to see when it comes to Big Show, knowing how hard he has trained to get himself in the best shape of his life for his supposed match with Shaquille O’Neal, only for that to be cancelled.
A consolation prize would have been for Big Show to have his moment with Braun Strowman as he’s indicated in the past that he would like to do, but if what transpired was WWE’s idea of a WrestleMania moment in a positive sense, those writers need to rethink their strategies. It was the total opposite, as Big Show came out looking like a chump.
He made no appearance on the Raw to follow and it wouldn’t be a surprise at all to see him sitting out the Payback card, but disappearing for a while isn’t going to help Big Show’s case.
Instead, he and Strowman should be locked into a feud that will let Big Show put over his spiritual successor, while also showcasing why he’s in a position to be able to hold that mantle in the first place.
