Big Show puts on nice show for Royal Pains
I enjoy Royal Pains more than just about any other series on USA, expect when Psych is on. Then it’s Pysch. Of course.
And, as a WWE-watcher, I was pleased to see Big Show Paul Wight on last week’s episode of Royal Pains. The good news is that his acting was a couple steps up from wooden – though only a couple. And he made for an interesting foil for Hank Lawson, Ph.D., in terms of his medical case.
Hopefully, Big Show won’t let this exposure go to his head; he could easily be a wrestler of Andre the Giant’s stature; but he doesn’t work as hard as Andre did. Big Show’s been a hidden comedy gem ever since a memorable co-guest-hosting job on Saturday Night Live a few Wrestlemanias ago.
Nice to see Show scratching that itch again. Let’s just hope he stays primarily in the ring before he ends up hocking iPhone accessories on eBay or something…
Still whistlin’ Dixie…
I’ve been monitoring TNA owner Dixie Carter’s Twitter page to see if the “change TNA forever” surprise has been announced yet. If it has, it’s lame: TNA wrestling games are coming to Nintendo DS and Sony PSP.
That will change TNA forever? I kind of think that’s not the deal, but nothing else posted so far makes sense or even fits the description. Maybe she’s giving out Branson tickets to Hulk Hogan and friends?
Whatever. Looks like we’re stuck waiting for Dixie to give up her secrets… BOOO-RING!
