On Monday's Raw, we had a big, sad Big Show. He was upset that his good pal Mark Henry turned on him. I mean, if he ignored the times he turned on Mark Henry in the past he has a good reason to feel down. He also wanted to talk up the legacy of the two, and said that combined theyd been in WWE for over 40 years. Oh really Big Show, is that so? Well considering you first started with the company at St. Valentines Day Massacre in 1999 (15 years), and Henry started in 96 (18 years), thats just not possible. Why that only makes 33 years! Did 30 not sound impressive enough? I wonder if Show also counted the year he was so out of shape that he was sent back down to developmental. What about the approximately 14 years that Henry was injured? Anyway, the grand total is 18 years, 7 months for Henry and Show is at 15 years and 8 months. Still pretty impressive. Though even if you added up Shows time in WCW as The Giant, it still doesnt add up to 40 years! How can I even believe this guy any more? What about his story of the time him and Mark pushed over that guys car at a fast food joint? Did that really happen? Did he actually own that mini-mall that went under? Say it aint so Show!
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
