The Big Show turned babyface post WrestleMania 2000. When The Rock hosted Saturday Night Live prior to WM2000, Show stole the show (no pun intended). He really stood out for his comedic work on that show. That led to Backlash 2000 when he was matched up with a heel Kurt Angle. Instead of Big Show's regular music, "Real American" started up. Show arrived in a yellow bandana, a red/yellow shirt that said "Showster" and the crowd popped big for his impression of Hulk Hogan. Keep in mind this was in 2000 when Hulk Hogan was in WCW and had no affiliation with WWE. It was rare to see somebody do something like that. The crowd went wild for him. Everybody was laughing, except for Angle, when he ripped off the shirt like Hogan. Show then broke out the "well you know something" Hogan line and he did an awesome job of it. They had a short match as Showster was Hulking Up immediately. He nailed some Hogan punches, then the boot to the face and the leg drop although Angle kicked out. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x10xqd_showster-vs-kurt-angle_fun It was a three minute match that the Showster won clean with a Chokeslam. The entrance for Show will go down as one of the funniest moments of his career.
