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!!!
