8 Reasons Why Big Show Should Never Wrestle On TV Again

2. The Hall Of Fame Pop

The Big Show
WWE

Thanks to countless perplexing inductees drawn from the whims of Vince McMahon and his inner circle over the years, the WWE Hall Of Fame's legitimacy is both derided and deified by identical sections of the fanbase.

Inclusions of Koko B Ware, James Dudley and select others render the celebratory award largely meaningless, but it doesn't stop huge catcalls for certain performers to earn their spot amongst some of the elite as rumours begin to circle ahead of the WrestleMania weekend showpiece.

In The Big Show's case, an absence is required before audience hearts can grow fonder for his inevitable induction.

Underrated at times, he'll deserve a response akin to some of the legendary headliners honoured at the vainglorious event, but perhaps wouldn't receive such a cheer if the closing memories of his time in the ring were substituting as Enzo Amore's new seven-footer.

A complete disappearance between now and the 'Show Of Shows' would afford ample time to reboot the fanbase's enthusiasm for some incredible feats of strength and athleticism over the last two decades, and at very least generate a response deserving of his tenure.
