Incredible dedication by the guy. He's far surpassed the shape that he was in when he made his debut in WCW in 1995.
Honestly, if he can maintain this conditioning there's no reason why WWE shouldn't give him one more run at the top. A 7' athlete in top shape is a physical spectacle, and it gives WWE more options.
If only he wasn't so massively overexposed and he wasn't jobbing to another celebrity. The Medium Show could have done a good job elevating young guys but it's too late for that now no matter what shape he's in. Still, very impressive.
He can be in the best shape he wants, it won't stop me giving a shit about the guy tbh. Should've thought about it when he was younger.
He'll probably have his goofy smile, lose to Shaq at WM, then do god knows what...probably waste Kevin Owens. Show you've had a good career, hang up your egotistical boots.
I disagree. A Big Show that is that thin,that jacked is essentially a new, fresh character. You can get a short, intense run out of it even at this point.
Always liked Big Show, never understood the hate he receives, its not like he continuously buries talent or is the main event, I remember people complaining when that RAW about a month or so back opened up with Big Show vs Seth Rollins, I genuinely don't understand what the issue with that is, he is still a great performer for someone of his age and size imo, he's not going to be entering my GOAT list but his sheer presence doesn't annoy me like it seems to so many other people.
Motivation from the haters including me that was he was out of shape. Wrestlemania 33 was planned to be his last match, but since he's in tip top shape, this will probably encourage him to more runs. Maybe even another title reign.
It is harder for a guy like him with legit giant syndrome and traveling. He dropped weight when he left WWE before the Mayweather stuff too because he isn't traveling. This year as an ambassador WWE literally paid for him to stay in China for 4 months and be there as ambassador as they entered the market which he actually talked about on this week in WWE. He isn't asked to fly around a lot, etc. When he flies he has talked about what a hassle it to fit in the chairs and be in those rental cars which is why he fought a tour bus.
You can get a Big Show similar to this Big Show all the time for the next 2-3 years if you're WWE and only use him like Lesnar is used and don't have him work house shows. It is how Show and Kane both should be used. Hell KAne looked great with the authority because he wasn't asked to work house shows, just attend them and act like a figurehead.
I gotta give credit where it's due, the guy looks great right now. I respect what he's done in the ring, and I definitely think he's one of the best big men to have ever graced a pro wrestling ring, it's just a damn shame how badly WWE has fucked him up, turning him face and heel enough times to dominate the Guiness book of world records, and doing tons of cringe worthy comedy segments with him, nonetheless I hope to Christ he'll be able to churn out at least ONE memorable moment at Wrestlemania with Shaq.
