If the Big Show had stayed in shape like he was in WCW circa '96/97 when he weighed around 370lbs and routinely did moonsaults and dropkicks from the top turnbuckle,with that and his mic skills he would have gone down in history as the best big man of all time.He got lazy,balloned another 250lbs put kept on getting pushed ahead of people more worthy just like Kevin Nash.For that reason I'm sceptical about what he can offer other than how to talk on the mic.

If Big Show had the Lesnar physique that Vince craves, he would be truly as awesome as Vince believes.

But that ain't gonna happen. And a 7ft blob is still just a big blob.

NXT are brining back The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. I hope the winners get a title shot after winning this tournament. It starts next week with 16 teams and the finals will be at takeover Toronto.

What are wwe doing trying to help tna??? I'm sorry but TNA have themselves to blame for their worries, plus they had the example of wcw and the original ecw's financial troubles. TNA was never close to competing with wwe, a good owner would never jepordise the finances of the company just so they can look better than wwe. I don't know the true facts of this and I'm just speculating but still...

News & Notes 2/10.

Quote:WWE invited a lot of women to a WWE tryout recently, more than they normally do. It’s being said that the reason they did this is so that the company could get a better read of it they could make an all women’s tournament, similar to how they did with the Cruiserweight Classic.

As of this writing there is nothing official in regards to a women’s tournament, but it’s definitely something we could see in the future on the WWE Network.

Quote:WWE had originally planned for a Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns double turn angle, but those plans have been nixed and won’t be taking place after all.

The company is still planning on going forward with a full-fledged Rollins turn with a big angle that would leave no doubt as to if Rollins is a heel or babyface. The idea is to eventually have Rollins face a heel Triple H, which might be difficult because fans naturally like to cheer for Triple H.

In regards to Roman, the company still has plans to push him as a top babyface moving forward.

Quote:WWE announced that next year’s Royal Rumble event will be taking place at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. This will be the 20th anniversary of the 1997 Royal Rumble at the Alamodome when Shawn Michaels won the WWE Title from Psycho Sid.

With the Alamodome being able to seat around 65,000 fans, the company will need a big name on the card to help push ticket sales. While Shawn Michaels has retired from in-ring competition, there is a good possibly that WWE may use him in some sort of fashion at the event.

Another name that WWE could possibly use at the event is “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, given his ties with the state of Texas. The downside to using Austin is he was hurt at last year’s WrestleMania, and the company probably wouldn’t want to risk doing anything very physical with him.

In regards to The Undertaker and his ties with Texas, at last word he was telling people his match at WrestleMania 32 was his last, so the chances of him being used for promotion is next to none.

If WWE decides to use either of these men, it would be in a small role and nothing major. They could use them for a special guest referee for a top match, or an enforcer role of sorts.

I wonder who this could have been. Big Grin

Interesting rumblings that Bill Goldberg may very well be signing to return to WWE shortly. If he's physically big enough he could still be an asset to them. Even if it's just in the short-term.
