Hey guys, check this out:
Online World of Wrestling has put this in the 2006 Hall of Fame
It's about the Big Show holding the ECW World Heavyweight Title and why he is labeled a TERRIBLE Champion
Check it out:
The Extreme Giant:
Eventually the whole ECW project turned into one big attempt to get one wrestler over, The Big Show. He defeated Rob Van Dam (who was suspended for getting busted with marijuana) for the ECW World Heavyweight Title and suddenly the show began revolving around him with storylines that had nothin to do with ECW. He kept challenging outside wrestlers from RAW and Smackdown! to come to ECW to challenge for the ECW World title. How was this supposed to help the ECW product? The Big Show had main event matches on Sci-Fi with Ric Flair, The Undertaker, Kane, and Batista. Then he started beating Sabu every week. The Big Show was quick to brag that he was the first person to ever win the WCW, WWE and ECW World Heavyweight Titles -- proving once and for all that titles in wrestling are worthless.

Hey really? You have to put over your champions? Wow, what a smart bunch of people.
Him challenging other wrestlers was to bring credibility to the title. Why have him beat on Sabu every week as mentioned, when you could beat main-event guys and make the title worth a damn.

I Actually liked BigShow the ECW Champion and not bobby Lashley...Im a Huge fan of The BigShow.My guess is he faced other wwe big names instead of ecw originals because wwe wanted to bring in fans when they brought back ecw so they thought having guys like Batista,Kane,Undertaker,and Ric Flair would get people watching instead of him fighting stevie richards,balls mahoney,sabu..those guys arent seen as WWE Championship material so wwe used bigger names...they still use Kane on ECW

Well I use to like the Big Show when he was in WCW as a face, especially when he was in great shape!
But when he went to the WWE, I didn't respect him, especially during the Invasion Era when he mocked his former WCW collegue Booker T.
But when he was in WCW, he would def. the likes of Buff Bagwell, Scott Hall, Scott Norton, Ice Train and even The Macho Man Randy Savage, but ever since 1998, he started jobbing to ALOT of guys not only in WCW, but also in the WWE and ECW and I will name them one by one!
Lex Luger
Hulk Hogan
Diamond Dallas Page
STING
Goldberg
Kevin Nash
Ric Steiner
Stone Cold Steve Austin
The Rock
Triple H
The Undertaker
Booker T.
Chris Benoit
Chris Jericho
Rhino
Rob Van Dam
Kurt Angle
Kane
Brock Lesnar
John Cena
Eddie Guerrero
Jeff Hardy
Shelton Benjamin via Count Out
and of course Bobby Lashley
and plus, it has been years since Nash gave him the Jacknife Powerbomb and broke his neck which put him out of action for 1 month!
Oh, and Scott Steiner, Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle all gave him a Belly-to-Belly Suplex and even STING gave him a scoop slam and Lex Luger put him in the torture rack!
Un-Believable!
He also lost to Shelton Benjamin via Count-Out as well!

10 years and that's all the people he's lost to? I'd say that's pretty good.

Well let's just say that most of them he to were when he had to submit!
He submitted to Lex Luger's Torture Rack, Sting's Scorpion Deathlock, Kurt Angle's Ankle Lock and even The Undertaker's Taking Care of Business, plus he also submitted to Chris Jericho's Walls of Jericho and Chris Benot's Crippler Crossface!
