The Big Show:A Giant's World Review

Recently I had the pleasure of watching The Big Show's DVD, "The Big Show:A Giant's World". This DVD chronicled The Big Shows life from his childhood growing up with his dad and loving step sister, to his run in WCW which only happened because Hulk Hogan saw that he could make money off of him,to his debut in the WWE and what the future holds. Okay now that I have you up to speed on the DVD is about let me discuss the things that I felt was good material for the DVD. I love that the documentary went in depth on Big Show's childhood and physical obstacles that he had to go overcome to life a healthy,longer life. I mean at 6 foot 7 he knew he was ordinary. Of course he took a liking to basketball and was very successful at it. Things changed with the death of his dad and he quit playing ball and became a car salesmen,you know the obvious choice. Any who at a basketball charity event he met Hulk Hogan and Hulk immediately saw dollar signs. I enjoyed the segments in which Big Show discusses his time in WCW, (even though I wished it would've been longer). He talks about his training with Triple h and Terry Taylor. How they saw potential in him from the start. He also brought up him getting the Heavyweight title so fast in his career made him feel like he had no more mountains to climb in WCW. How he felt like he didn't have a character. He was just "The Giant". The Documentary zoomed right through WCW and went to his arrival in the WWE. His first impression of WWE was like most wrestlers who went from WCW to WWE which was now they were in the big leagues. He talks of being miserable in the beginning because he felt intimidated by superstars like The Rock, Stone Cold and The Undertaker. Once he went to OVW for more training (after winning the WWE Title) he learned how to be humble again and truly became the athlete he is now. Okay I don't want to give everything away but I most say I enjoyed this DVD very much. It could've been longer but it's so much I can ask for right. So if you're looking for something good to watch enjoy this DVD!!!

"Sunny Days" for the 2011 Hall of Fame !!!

Everyone is clicking away on facebook and twitter talking about the "alleged" new member of the 2011 Hall of Fame the proclaimed "originial diva" Tammy Syttch aka Sunny. It's obvious by now that Wrestlemania and the Hall of Fame inductees are all a tribute to the Attitude Era. This is probably the only female inductee that will be in the years ceremony so I think that she is a good pick. When you think about the Attitude Era and the people that became the face of it you think about Sunny. She was the stereotypical blonde  girl next door,the girl that you had a crush on but you knew that you couldn't have. Even her theme "I know you want me" toyed with the fact that Sunny knew that she had arrived and she was WWE's It Girl at the time. Now there has been debates of whether she takes too much credit for what she thinks she accomplished in the WWE. In my opinion Sunny was marketed for what she truly was which was "eye candy". She would wear very short,tight and skimpy clothing,and  make comments that was filled with innuendo. Vince McMahon knew that he had a good thing going. He had a girl that could talk on the mic, who was pretty and could make him money doing photo shoots in bikinis and lingerie. She also could be a distraction to wrestlers that were going aganist the people she was managing. I think her opinion of her being the first female to start everything is false because people like Sherri Martel,Fabulous Moolah,Alundra Blayze and Bull Nakano opened the door for women to have a spot in WWE. Now Sunny is right about her being the first "sex pot" of wrestling. She did open the doors the fitness model type of divas that came after her like Trish Stratus. So for that impact alone I feel like Sunny is a shoe in for the Hall of Fame. I just hope that her whole speech isn't her telling the crowd that she started everything for women in wrestling.The  2011 Hall of Fame just got sunnier!!!!
