8 Reasons Why Big Show Should Never Wrestle On TV Again
7. Passing The Torch
Not only was the match a fabulous send-off for a potentially departing Show, it was also yet another immaculate effort in crafting the most unlikely candidate for a breakout star WWE have had in some time.
In Braun Strowman, the company may have fallen a*se-over-t*t into the lap of a performer they wish Roman Reigns could have been. And that's without the convenient long hair/beard/giant aesthetic they were looking for with the former Shield member.
Having emerged with more wins than losses from a feud with Roman Reigns, looked an equal to Brock Lesnar, and physically decimated the majority of his contemporaries on Monday Night Raw, Braun has yet to stumble on the notoriously dicy pathway to prominence.
His No Mercy Universal Title match against Brock will throw up a creative challenge in protecting that aura, but it's already been aided by a fabulous effort against The Big Show. Physically dominant, glorious, and victorious, Strowman could benefit even further from the win if he could tout it as the one that permanently felled wrestling's most successful giant right as he aims to become the next one.
