The Big Show Show (2020)

 
Genre: TV / Comedy
Starring: Paul Wight, Allison Munn, Reylynn Caster 
Number of episodes: 9

 

Paul Wight, known around the world by wrestling fans as The Big Show, plays a fictionalized version of himself here. As his wrestling career is winding down, the big man is looking for what is next, living with his wife and two young daughters. An older teenage daughter from a previous relationship comes to live with them.

As a long-time wrestling fan, I wanted to enjoy this show. But, I just could not. Big Show himself is not without comedic talent. He’s especially good with the physical stuff, which is a feat considering his size. The problem is the material that was written was weak and the supporting cast was just bad. Most characters were more annoying than funny. No wonder this lasted for a season and a Christmas episode. The episode where fellow pro wrestlers Mark Henry and Mick Foley visit is a rare highlight.
