ITT: How to retire the Big Show
A lot of people don't like Show, but I'm not one of them. The guy has been around for decades, always been loyal to the company, jobbed out to countless other guys, and he's pretty popular in the locker room from what I understand. He's been booked terribly and rolled with it, probably had more gimmick matches than any other wrestler in WWE. His whole schtick is basically that he's fucking huge, and people give him shit for it, but he does a pretty good job for someone of his size. Yes he's slow, but that's the point -
he's a massive lumbering tank of a man you don't want to get caught by. Strowman is showing him up now, sure, but he's a much younger man, and if it wasn't for Show he probably wouldn't be around.
Now I've got that out of the way, Show's contract is due to expire just before WM34 and there's talk of him being out with injury and his career being over. I really hope that's not the case. I think he deserves a massive send-off after all his years of service (especially with charity, he's a favourite with disabled kids because he's "the biggest and strongest and takes no crap from anyone") and given the timing and everything else, I think WM34 is the place to do it.
Here's how I think it should go down - Big Show has never won a Royal Rumble despite often being stated 'a favourite' simply down to his massive size. Royal Rumble 2018 he comes in at 30 and eliminates this year's favourite to win - Strowman. It then comes down to the last two competitors - Show and [insert other wrestler here]. Show is fired up, he's never been so close, and puts up a good fight. It looks like he'll finally do it, when an angry Strowman returns and destroys him.
In the February PPV Strowman fights for the belt (whichever the RR winner chooses not to go for), when Big Show interferes to stop him. However it doesn't work - Strowman destroys Show again and still wins the belt anyway. (cont.)

Show is furious, and challenges Strowman to a final showdown at WM34, only Strowman refuses. He has nothing to prove against the old timer and considers him beneath him, and sees no reason he should offer the belt to him on the grandest stage of them all when he could fight anyone. Show harrasses Strowman, attacking him backstage, interfering in matches, the works, until finally he says he'll put his career on the line to fight Strowman at WM34.
Show has never had a true WM main event (only a messy 4-way that involved the McMahons at ringside) and letting him finally have one rather than the gimmick matches he's put up with over the years would be deserved. Having it as the main event would make sense too - one of WWE's current biggest stars in Strowman, a title defense, and a 20-odd year career on the line.
To compensate for the inevitable slow pace, the match is made a last-man standing match. Strowman is dominant throughout but Show just keeps getting back up. The match needs to be full of spots that can only be pulled off by monsters like these two - give the audience a reason to miss Show, by reminding them what only someone of his size is capable of. Flip announcer tables, break ladders, maybe even put it in a cell, or even for one last time do the classic ring-break (that I think has only happened with Show, so it's almost his trademark stunt). Make it a brutal slobberknocker where Show truly gives it everything he has, but eventually Strowman wins out and retires him.
With the audience now on his side, chants of "Thank You Big Show", he does his sweaty fake cry face, and limps out the arena on his own two feet. A final appearance on the following night's Raw, where he talks about respect for Strowman for continuing his big man legacy. Finally, he's the main inductee of the 2019 Hall of Fame.
Thoughts?
tl;dr Get Strowman to retire Show at the WM34 main event
