2. His Matches Aren't As Good As They Used To Be
Though he was never expected to put on masterful wrestling matches, there was a time when Big Shows matches were at least entertaining. He did things in the ring that actually garnered a big reaction from the audience, whether it was someone demonstrating incredible strength by lifting the Big Show, or Show doing something impressive himself. Sadly, WWE have dropped the ball on Big Shows offense being booked as strongly as it should be. There was a time when Show would walk or stand on his opponents body and use his weight to his advantage. During that time, WWE Superstars were straight-up terrified to cross paths with the Big Show, much less have a match with him. Now, he isnt perceived as a threat whatsoever, even if he does still possess impressive strength. Big Show has slowed down so much in recent years (possibly due to his age and the strain on his body), and his matches tend to be void of anything unique or memorable. He doesnt even get the same reaction when he holds a smaller Superstar over his head like he used to. That should be as clear a sign as any that his star power is waning, and that he should consider retiring from wrestling.
