10 Reasons Why Big Show Needs To Retire From WWE

6. ...And WWE Isn't Looking For More Giants Anyway

If you look at WWE€™s roster, the entire focus of what€™s desired in a wrestler has changed dramatically. With a few exceptions in NXT and in the Authority, there are very few wrestlers who stand taller than 6€™6 or weigh more than 300lbs. John Cena is the €˜prototypical€™ WWE Superstar and he stands 6€™1 and weighs around 250lbs, while the €˜future€™ of WWE Seth Rollins is even smaller. Simply put, giants like the Big Show are a thing of the past, not the future. As interesting and eye-catching as the Big Show is, WWE isn€™t looking for giant anymore. Big men who are slow and prodding in the ring aren€™t what the future of WWE will be built around. Vince believed in the past that bigger guys win fights in real life, and that€™s why he went for those kinds of individuals, which included guys like Big Show. Triple H, who represents the future, is looking at wrestling in a more traditional sense of the word, preferring to concentrate on smaller, technical wrestlers who can put on dramatic performances. Big Show is part of WWE€™s past, not its future. Part of that future has already been seen in NXT and the promotion of smaller workers. That should be as clear an indication as any that smaller wrestlers are the future, while giants like Big Show are the past, and Show himself should consider a post-WWE life. Because he won€™t have a place in the WWE of tomorrow.
