November 10, 201410 yr Author comment_5638884 Jim Ross interviews Big Show about his father passing away. Oh boy. This wasn't even Russo, even though it was his influence obviously. Did anyone joke at the time that they thought Andre was his father?
July 24, 201510 yr comment_5687068 Big Show tries to show off his acting chops but it doesn't go over well. At least this leads to one of the best moments in WWF history.
January 17, 20169 yr comment_5721254 Why have they always made Big Show cry so much? The idea of Show coming to the realization that he's been coasting on his physical ability and not really putting his all into wrestling and turning that around to give him a major main event push is good in theory.
September 8, 20178 yr comment_5813433 Big Show's father doesn't have much time. I really hated this angle.
November 19, 20177 yr comment_5820978 Oddly the climax of all this (as well as the follow-up with Show's mother) was one of my Dad's all-time favorite angles--as a retired police officer and fan of the heels, he was a huge Boss Man fan. Now having gone through a time earlier this summer where my Dad went from vaguely ill to dead from pancreatic cancer in the span of a few weeks this is...well, odd to look back on. I'm not going to pretend I'm suddenly offended now, nor will I ever defend this as good booking. This interview specifically is a particularly low point of this whole feud.
November 29, 20177 yr Author comment_5822506 I just had a horrifying thought. If it was the Attitude Era right now, would Russo book Big Boss Man to "shoot" a black wrestler to create an edgy storyline? Ugh.
