Paid Members Chris B Posted February 24, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2021 I actually genuinely want to see Kenny Omega vs Paul Wight. I'm not saying it'd be good, but I am saying I want to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted February 24, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) It actually would probably be pretty good too. Big Show was a good wrestler when used right. Edited February 24, 2021 by LaGoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaitoRyo Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I love Big Show. Hope he turns up ripped and motivated and does some of the best work of his career. Could be a genuine attraction if used right and will be an invaluable person to have backstage, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRooster Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 7 minutes ago, Supremo said: Can you even imagine how big he’s going to look next to half that roster?! This is exactly what I was thinking! Given how massive Wardlow and Luchasaurus look, he's going to come across as enormous. I'm genuinely intrigued by this. He's so different from what they already have on their roster that I can't help but think he'll end up being an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted February 24, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2021 It wasn't that long ago that Wight was trying to transition out of wrestling into acting, etc. With AEW clearly working on cross-promotion with TNT, this may be a smart move by Wight, upping the likelihood of him working on other shows. If he's more established as a commentator/talker, he's one of the more likely people involved to be poached for other things. And TNT having the 'Go Big Show' show means they can even keep aspects of the name if he takes over from Cody on there. I'm not suggesting it should be his new name, but it would be a fun little jab for him to occasionally be referred to as 'The Go Big Show's Paul Wight'. Especially if they do want Shaq around again. After years of WWE trying to do it (and it falling through because they kept going back and forward on dates, etc), finally having 'Shaq vs The Go Big Show's Paul Wight' could be something of an attraction for casuals.

Paid Members Supremo Posted February 24, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2021 You wonder if this is a sign of things to come. Everything that’s reported about working for WWE sounds like a fucking nightmare. If you didn’t know better you’d think they were actively trying to force guys to make the jump. If the money is comparable, why wouldn’t you go where you can piss about on Twitch and make that cameo side hustle? I’m almost disappointed they announced it online though. Imagine how mad it would’ve been if he came up from under the ring or something as a complete surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lenin Posted February 24, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2021 Read this and two things jumped out: https://411mania.com/wrestling/tony-khan-says-sting-is-cleared-to-wrestle-talks-about-when-he-had-idea-to-use-exploding-barbed-wire-match-more/  1. Why were AEW fined in Baltimore? I didn't think the Omega/Moxley match was that bad - is it a local/state ruling as to what can go out on TV? 2. The powerbomb Sting took apparently took "a lot" out of him. Doesn't bode well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Of all the people. Always liked Show, also if he's not going to be a regular worker, you could at least finally Andre book him to appear super rarely in the ring. Also a skit where John Silver comes into contact with radiation and turns into Show please.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted February 24, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2021 This is the weirdest decision for the “fresh new alternative” since TNA booked The Dudley Boys vs The Nasty Boys in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 24, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2021 They've never been shy of working with older talent, and Big Show on commentary is pretty fresh. A wrestling match takes more than one person to work, and half the battle is having fresh opponents - there's very few people in AEW that Big Show has ever worked with before, in an environment he's never worked in before. It's more interesting for what it represents, though - Big Show has only worked one match outside of WWE since 1999. If he's not a WWE lifer, and is open to jumping ship, who else could make the jump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted February 24, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'm loving it. Commentary. Squashing Marko Stunt. Finding out he's Jon Silver's dad. Â Love all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
