3. Belittling Big Show
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZxBH9mV6j4 On the other side of the coin, earlier in the Big Show/Authority angle, Show was pretty much a sniveling, crying mess. And Stephanie almost delighted in exposing his worst fears and reducing him to tears as she asked what he was going to do once his body gives out and he cant perform, What are you going to be, the worlds largest gas station attendant? Stephanie almost broke into tears herself as she told Show that he had to consider that giants dont live as long as normal people, then hugged him. Again, its the kind of advantage that Stephanie has over Vince as the heel boss she can hug a wrestler after telling him how much it hurt her to tell him hes going to die penniless. To his credit, Big Show was a perfect counterweight to Stephanie during this tough love promo. He might never be a leading man in Hollywood, but Show definitely conveyed all the right emotions without saying a word during this exchange.
