10 Big Questions From WWE Raw (Oct 12)

2. Why Is Big Show Being Kept Strong?

I, like many, thought that Big Show's MSG loss to Brock Lesnar was to be the death knell for the giant's pro wrestling career. The "give it up for Big Show" announcement at the end of the match seemed to confirm that this would be his last hurrah before a well-deserved retirement - but apparently that isn't the case. Show again took centre stage during a Raw main event, brutally decking Kane with that trusty KO punch of his. Before his match with Lesnar, Big Show's recent run of dominance could be almost excused. He needed to look strong prior to his clash with the Beast, even if that meant wrecking the credibility of a beloved babyface like Cesaro. At least there was an end goal in mind. This time, it's a total mystery why Show is being kept strong. Like Cena, he hasn't been booked in a match at Hell in a Cell. Could he be competing for the US Championship? Whatever the outcome, fans continue to respond negatively whenever Show is put over a younger, more relevant opponent. Those "please retire" chants aren't exactly half-hearted.
