A BIG Loss

Today is the one year anniversary of the release of Big Show from World Wrestling Entertainment. It occurred one day after a loss to Bobby Lashley on ECW. His reason for his requested requested release was that he had been wrestling in pain for several months. He said shortly after his release, "I've reached a point in my career right now where I am a little run down and hurt pretty bad physically. I've been wrestling the past three months pretty much in pain every night. I can't compete at the level I want to compete at, and that's the most heartbreaking thing." Although he wasn't officially released until February, he didn't compete from January to February. Show fought Hulk Hogan under his real name Paul Wight at the PMG Clash of Legends in Memphis this April. It signified the 20th anniversary of the infamous meeting between Hogan and Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania 3. He has yet to return to wrestling and has no announced plans to.
