WWE over the Limit 2012: Big Show Will Make His Presence Felt in Main Event

John Cena and John Laurinaitis has the potential to be one of the worst WWE pay-per-view main events in a long time at Over The Limit on Sunday. So who better to help save this match than the world's largest athlete, Big Show?

On Raw this week, Laurinaitis made Big Show cry like a baby before firing him. It was not exactly the kind of ringing endorsement that WWE should be giving someone like Show, especially if the ultimate goal is to turn him heel. 

Show has the charisma and personality to be a much bigger star than he is in WWE today. He has been told to play the role of a happy-go-lucky, smiling giant, and the crowd got behind him because he was so good at it. 

To take someone of Show's size—seven-feet tall, 450 pounds—and have him blubbering like a baby is not going to make fans think that this is someone they should be scared of. Instead, it is probably going to turn them off when he eventually does turn heel. 

The heel turn is going to come on Sunday night, as Show is going to join the constantly growing stable of wrestlers that John Laurinaitis is building in his quest for complete and total domination of WWE. 

Plus, WWE practically gave away the ending for the Cena-Laurinaitis clash on Raw. It started with the Big Show firing, which is nothing more than a pointless misdirection aimed to make people think that he is either leaving for good or going to come back and cost Laurinaitis.

The giveaway continued in the final segment, when it was announced that if Laurinaitis loses, he will be fired as general manager. 

WWE has built Laurinaitis up so much since WrestleMania that it would be pointless to cut that off now, long before the angle has even had time to properly develop. Aligning him with Lord Tensai was supposed to give him the monster he needed to watch his back, but no one actually cares enough about Tensai to view him as a real threat to anyone. 

Show has the credibility with the audience, even after that disastrous display on Monday, to give Laurinaitis the enforcer he needs to be taken seriously as a threat to the established order in WWE.
