Well, that didn't last long.

In the period it'll take to write this intro, Big Show will have turned approximately 37 times. That's a joke, of course, but an even bigger one is the constant switches in alignment the legend has had over the years. His latest flip, splitting from The Bar on SmackDown, came a mere 42 days after he'd joined forces with Sheamus and Cesaro.

This has been a hallmark of Show's career going back his WCW days as The Giant. Back then though, it was possible for the mammoth of a man to appear on shows without anyone having a clue who he was. Find out all about The Giant's humbling WCW-to-WWE experience in this week's article.

Other facts involve unlikely NXT announcers pulling on the tights, what jovial fun Eric Bischoff had when posing as the old dude wedding Billy & Chuck in 2002, who wanted to purchase the original ECW way back in 2001 and the official line on why Zack Ryder's push was canned.
