Eric Bischoff doesn't give him a raise so he decides to go to WWE to be a midcarder.

I will never understand why fans rate 2000 so highly. The first six months were almost unwatchable. Gaytch buried literally everyone on the roster from big named guys like Rock, Foley, Kane, and Big Show, and even midcard guys like Taz and Rikishi because he feared they would take his spot. Him going over at the Royal Rumble, Mania 16, and especially Judgment Day was complete bullshit. Fuck the first six months of that overrated year.

Big Show talks about this on the Austin podcast -- Vince wanted to push him straight to moon, so when he got signed Vince outs him in an angle with Austin and asks him "what do you want to do pal?"

Show being a happy-to-be-there shitter sheepishly answers "uhh whatever you and Austin want, I don't care" -- that's when Vince realized his new giant was a mental midget and lost all hope for him

With the Giant Eric did the mistake of hiring a rookie and making him a world champ in under a year. But still continue to pay him like he is a rookie. But fuck man in late 97 it was starting to show Giant was letting himself go. So no wonder why he didn't raise his pay.

96 and 97 was the peak of Shows whole career.

But WCW really was fucking Beeg for cash. The story about how he got paid properly for the N64 game packaging is pretty funny. Wish I could find it.

I don't give a shit about the whole "but Paul needed a big win at a major ppv to be taken seriously!" argument. Everyone in attendance and watching at home desperately wanted Jack to go over. You can feel the atmosphere inside MSG die when Hebner counted the 3 for Gaytch. The crowd was completely deflated when he won. The worst part is that Jack attacked him afterwards and got the last laugh. Why not just give him the fuckin title?

Can't hotshot the title everytime. HHH going over Foley was the right call and Foley would tell ya that. Wrestling fans generally don't understand this. Look at all the midcard guys they think should've been champion. The belt isnt a participation trophy. Beating the heel means nothing if the heel just jobs to every face. If it was up to online wrestling nerds Marty Jannetty would be a 3x world champion kekekek

His first match ever was winning the belt from Hulk Hogan on PPV and he spent the rest of WCW getting jumped by the nWo and chokeslamming people. Andre had been around the world and back by the time Vince got him full time, Giant had been to Hogan's beach house and the bank.

It's funny how people talk about Big Shows constant face and heel turns. Without mentioning that these constant turns started all the way in WCW.

- Debuts in company in mid 1995 as a Heel member of Dungeon of Doom.
- Becomes a face shortly after Hogan is revealed to be the third man in mid 1996. Started doing promos that WCW had nothing to worry about as long as he was the champion. (basically all the WCW heels who were against the NWO like Horsemen became faces).
- Joins the NWO and becomes a Heel once shotly after losing the belt at Hog Wild 1996 to Hogan. Which just makes no sense.
- Becomes a face after he demands a title match from Hogan because he won a title shot in WW3. Gets thrown out of NWO at the end of 1996.
- Becomes a heel again by joining NWO Hollywood once again in spring of 1998 after spending last year feuding with them.
- Turns face on his last appearance in WCW. Because Hogan decides that there is only room for one giant in NWO Elite. So He pits Giant against Nash and Giant loses and gets jumped by the NWO.

He said it was because Hogan was getting him connections and making bank in Hollywood.
>Gets thrown out of NWO at the end of 1996.
He was pissed because thought the nWo was a team effort and it didn't matter who was the champ. He didn't realize it was a Hogan vanity project in order to keep him as champ.
I have no explanation for the rest

Where the fuck do you get that information? Mcmahon didn't own WCW in february of 1999. That was the time when WCW was declining but was still competive.

WWF got an advantagous position in terms of buying WCW in 2000. Because they sued WCW for infringing on their characters back when outsiders debuted. And one of the terms of the settlement which was reached in 2000 was, that WWF would get the right to bid if WCW's assets were liquidated.

Yeah it really wouldn't. Had he signed a new contract in 1999 (and it would have been a lot of money for sure still. But not probably as insane as what WWF gave him). He probably would have been a main eventer. I would probably wager that in WCW's dying days he might be a very succesful singles star having outgrown all the NWO stuff.

If he decides to not sit out his turner contract he would be treated like a joke for a year or two. (But then again he was treated like a joke by wwf in late 1999 and 2000). Or if he waited to debut in 2002 they would have treated him like a major star from the get go and his career would be very similar to today.
