That's my take. | Freeway

| #3 Posted on 1.12.02 1906.26 Reposted on: 1.12.09 1913.29 | Fact: The Big Show is a moderately talented wrestler, but he is not as skilled as, say, Kurt Angle
Fact: The Big Show's gimmick stems around his size.
Fact: Big guys are slow.
Fact: The Big Show makes a lot of money.
So, you can gather from these facts that the Big Show is slower than most, and makes more money than most, while being less talented than some. And he's the WWE Champion. Why? Because he makes a lot of money.
Steve Austin makes a lot of money, too. If Show screws up, being less talented than Austin, they might just kick him to the curb. Which means, Show wouldn't hurt Lesnar unless he absolutely had to.
Just my opinion, at least. | ekedolphin

| #7 Posted on 1.12.02 2301.53 Reposted on: 1.12.09 2302.45 | Why the hell would Show hurt Lesnar? Lesnar is the top guy on Smackdown. Whoever works with him will be taking a larger portion of the income from house shows and buyrates. If you hurt him, then you don't get to face him for any length of time and you make less money.
I agree with it being 100% speculation. I hate when wrestling news gets slow, crap like that starts to show and places like 411 jump all over it.

Slug has a long, long, long term contract, so they won't be kicking him to the curb. If they could get out of contracts by that manner, then they would have someone get injured during a Mark Henry match to get out of the last 3 and 3/4 years of that disaster. | JimBob Skeeter

| #9 Posted on 2.12.02 1009.42 Reposted on: 2.12.09 1012.27 | I guess my question would be: Why were you at 411 in the first place? I gave up on that site over a year ago because the majority of it is cut & pasted from 1bob, the Torch or the Observer, and the stuff that isn't seems completely made up. Here's my Christmas present to you: stay away from 411 and you won;t be as confused by silly little rumors. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
