10 WWE Superstars Badly In Need Of A Character Reboot

4. Big Show

If Paul Wight plans to stick around for another couple years as he recently stated on the Stone Cold Podcast, he'd be wise to reinvent his character to get the most out of his last years in the ring. Unlike The Undertaker whose legacy was built upon his ability to constantly reinvent himself, Big Show's ability to evolve seemed to be limited to changing his hair and beard. The Big Show has been the same character since 1999, at the latest 2008. During the early years of the new millennium, Show cut his hair and changed his ring attire occasionally (usually he just got a new t-shirt) in an effort to stay on the main roster and avoid OVW. As big and impressive of an athlete as Paul Wight was, WWE allowed his contract to expire without renewing it in 2007. Once he returned to WWE in 2008, Big Show was here to stay but he would go relatively unchanged for the next eight years (and counting). Between 30 face/heel turns, a proclivity for crying like a baby and being made to look foolish, belittled and degraded despite being a giant, fans quickly grew restless with the big 7 footer. His character has become a joke and a laughing stock, and it's a walking billboard for WWE's creative limitations and booking mistakes. New ring gear, new music, a new power move or two, and perhaps a mouthpiece, and Big Show could be more interesting during his last two years than his previous 20 combined. It's a shame that an athlete with the size and potential of Paul Wight was booked so incredibly poorly throughout his WWE career, but getting his last stretch run right could go a long way in improving his legacy and the overall perception of his WWE career.
