8 Wrestlers That Could Benefit From A Run In WWE NXT

5. Big Show

OK, I know some of you will be rolling your eyes at this one or think about just closing the browser but HEAR ME OUT, DAMNIT! The Big Show has been an integral part of WWE for 17 years. Once he retires, people will begin to give him the credit he deserves, but sadly when you put a giant who should be used as a special attraction on TV every week for the better part of two decades, the fans begin to get tired of him. At this stage of his career, Show doesn't have much left to prove so before he has one last run culminating in a big WrestleMania retirement match, why not let him go down to NXT for 6 months, rest up, stay in the same place and help the younger talent get over by working with a man of his size? When Show worked the Columbus, Ohio NXT house show last year, fans chanted "Please retire" and he ad-libbed a promo where he said he was going to stick around just to piss them off and he would be around for ten more years. He was so good that the crowd chanted "ten more years" at him after that. Clearly, there's more to Show than what we see on Raw and Smackdown. There are a lot of great stories to tell with Big Show down at NXT, the natural one being him going for the NXT Championship against Finn Balor. The clash of styles would be fun to watch and when Big Show is motivated and against a good opponent, the results are usually enjoyable for the fans - just remember that surprisingly excellent match with Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules. Whether it's a wild Takeover brawl with Samoa Joe or a battle with Apollo Crews over the No.1 contendership to the NXT Title, Big Show could be a valuable asset to younger guys as his career begins to wind down.
