Breaking News: Turns out The Big Show was passing a painful kidney stone all throughout RAW last night.
Srsly tho, last night's show came extra lubricated. With big man tears. Tears with Steph (where she compassionately appealed to her "old friend" as if he had Stage One MacGregor's). Tears for the App-Exclusive Content (he totally clocked that one dude with the thrown chair, didn't he?) and then, finally, tears when he was forced to euthanize Daniel Bryan. It was a freakin' Bawlapalooza. The waterworks were in full effect. In fact, RAW IS CRY did this last week too when Heyman let the ocular rivers flow. Things are so emotional now. But it's good to let things out.
If you missed WWE TV this past week, The Big Show made this face on Smackdown's Miz TV segment...
...followed by this face when he was forced to watch the entire show at ringside.
Then RAW gave us this face...
...and this face...
One thing that was brought up this past week, which many instantly wondered about last week on RAW when The Big Show didn't say anything in Daniel Bryan's defense, was Show's supposed "Ironclad Contract." The story changed a little bit though between Smackdown and RAW. Smackdown was a little more loose with the rules, saying that the contract was only as good as the boss behind it. Insinuating that the entire thing was left up to the discretion of whoever's in charge. Which isn't ironclad. RAW then had Triple H mention that Big Show could be fired if he didn't perform - with "performing" seeming to mean doing whatever Triple H tells him to do. Which also isn't ironclad. So this has become one of those weird situations where you ask yourself if you would have rather they ignored the "ironclad contract" part of the story (like they've been known to do with past angles) or if you're fine with the bad reasons they're giving regarding the weird, convenient loopholes.
The other part of the Big Show angle that was introduced last night was the fact that Big Show is - ta dah! - flat broke. Because he owned, like, a mini-mall that went belly up. If only he took a few lessons from this past summer at the cinema and learned that the best way to save a crumbling, struggling mini-mall was to enter a mutated snail in the Indy 500. Spoilers for Turbo, by the way. And life.
So Show, like HBK before him, is penniless. But although Show must now perpetually "think about his family," he doesn't have to do menial tasks for JBL. No, he just has to knock people out. Which he was more than fine with about, oh, four months ago. But now the very thought of hurting someone tears him apart inside. He can't take it. And yes, Big Show is giving a great performance. It's one of those moments where you kind of want to show his segments to non-wrestling fans to they can see the passion and artistry involved in putting together an engaging story. But then you think better of it because you know that no one else gives a s*** and you'll probably just get punched in the neck. Because all the things about wrestling that you think will impress those who don't watch wrestling, won't.
Anyway, all of this is to set up Bryan, Big Show, Ziggler, Miz and Cody against Triple H's new faction. Which I'm just going to go ahead and call "Best For Business." Since, well, they said the phrase a flaflillion times last night. So Bryan won't win the WWE belt at NOC (he'll get it back eventually, don't worry) and then something something Survivor Series "Teams of Five Strive to Survive" match. Which would mean Triple H would have to lace up and join Orton and The Shield to make the numbers right. Some people have said that this would also be a good time to bring back the ol' War Games set up, but if you're not going to have 80% of the guys bleeding for thirty minutes straight, then there's really no point.
