Can We Not - Volume Five: The Big Show

Stop me if you've heard this one before.

It looks like The Big Show has turned his back on the WWE Universe.

 Now, stop me if you've heard this one before.

It looks like The Big Show has embraced the WWE Universe.

WWE 2K14 wording aside, The Big Show has a character shift as many times as Brutus Beefcake changed gimmicks. Probably even more so, since Beefcake has only had about 16-18 gimmicks. It's tiring, it's annoying, and it's a travesty. I mean, if Big Show is able to actually joke about how many turns he's had, mostly out of character, we've got a problem. The reason why people keep clamoring for Show to retire is that every time he turns, he randomly gets put into a A or B-level storyline. He's, in some ways, worse than John Cena when it comes to randomly being put into A/B-level storylines.

At least creative knows when to let/make Cena step back. Show, however? Nah. He's this behemoth, but he's being treated like goddamned Zack Ryder or something. Sheesh. If you're going to put him in a big storyline, let it mean something. Don't just fucking retconn it three months later when he goes away, comes back with a beard or something, then powerbombs Sin Cara for no reason. Don't retconn that five weeks later when he comes to the aid of Daniel Bryan only to--gasp--punch Daniel Bryan out and walk off crying.

For fuck's sake, guys! Can we not keep having heel/face turns for The Big Show? Maybe if it didn't go down this way, people'd stop saying "please retire" every time they see him. Maybe, just maybe.
