全世界最巨型的选手已经作出了他生命中最重要的决定,从现在开始,WWE和ECW将失去这位巨人.
在BigShow之前,在体育娱乐中还有一位巨人拥有这种体型,而且影响力完全不亚于他,那就是Andre the Giant.Bigshow在WWE中度过了七年,又统治了重生的ECW长达五个月,在此之后,他决定离开擂台.
刚过去的这一周似乎是这位巨人的转折点,他不仅与他生涯中最强大的对手之一--新任ECW世界冠军Lashley--在Sci Fi频道进行了对抗,还经历了极限铁笼六人战的痛苦与折磨.
一些Bigshow的好友说,在他失去了ECW冠军腰带之后,也同时失去了自信.促使他作出退役决定的因素包括一些由来已久的情绪和伤病,繁华过后,巨人黯然远去.
"我只是一个骨瘦如柴的冒牌货,我把事情弄糟,还改变了一些固有的东西.当我受伤时,我根本就是个废物,"巨人说道."我的身心健康更重要一些,而离开摔角事业将使我更容易得到健康."
据Big Show说,他被一系列的伤病所困扰,从腰锥间盘突出到肌肉拉伤都有,但他仍在和痛楚作斗争.这一类的伤害是平常人[甚至体型远远小于Big show的人们]所根本无法忍受的,从这一点上看,他的ECW腰带含金量是相~~~当的高.
"我现在已经达到了我职业生涯的极点了,我的身体状况有些恶化,非常痛苦,"Bigshow解释道."我在过去的三个月的每一个晚上都在忍受着极度的痛苦,而我还要参加比赛.我无法以我设想的方式结束[职业生涯]了,这才是最让我伤心的事情."
尽管Bigshow的比赛已经表现出了他的霸气,他仍然认为他在擂台上的成绩还没有完全发挥出自己的潜能.这才是这位优秀选手现在离开WWE的原因.
"我认为,选手到达自己职业顶点的时刻,应该是在他不得不自我审视并重新计划今后如何发展的时候,"这位500磅的巨人说."所有了解我的人都会认为我需要休息了.人们的生活过于匆忙了,他们往往忽视了这一点;而我,只是想停下来休息一下."
据这位世界上体型最大的选手说,他肉体上承受的痛苦远远不能与自己作出退役决定时内心的苦恼相比,因为他并不仅仅是停下来歇一会,而是彻底离开竞技体育这种家族生活方式了.
在他十多年的职业生涯中,Bigshow获得过所有重要的世界冠军头衔,而且是唯一一个拥有过WWE冠军腰带,ECW冠军腰带和世界重量级冠军腰带[译者:最后一条是WCW时期得来的,详见三楼]的选手.
更重要的是,这位ECW巨人说在他征服腰带的过程中,他与许多能在竞技体育历史上打上深刻烙印的伟大选手打过比赛,包括Hulk Hogan, Triple H, Ric Flair, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Rock, Undertaker和数不清的另一些人.

"怎么说呢,有苦也有甜;选手们在一起就像是一个大家族.我在旅行中度过了11个美好的年头,"Bigshow充满热情地说."我几乎和所有顶级明星都一起工作过,那就是我工作的全部……我打过一些值得留藏在记忆中的比赛,我很怀念这些."
http://www.wwe.com/content/media/images/344364/3335920/showovertaker160.jpg
无论是作face还是heel,观众们都非常尊重Bigshow,甚至是敬畏.现在,尽管镁光灯照在这位七英尺高的大家伙身上分外明亮[译者:意即bigshow现在很火],他仍然希望离开一段时间.
"既然你的身材如此庞大,你就永远无处躲藏,"他裂着嘴大笑[译者:show是多么憨态可掬啊...]."我很怀念这段时光,但现在我只是想给自己一些时间,我感谢fans们,我希望他们能尊重我的决定并支持我."
虽然Bigshow希望休养生息,他还是谈到了他可能会在未来的某部WWE电影中出演角色.
"如果可能的话,我想彻底重新改变自己,看看Bigshow这家伙究竟是什么样子的,"他说道."我想演一部WWE电影--一部喜剧--因为我觉得自己很有幽默细胞.我是一个急性子,但很谦逊,很招人喜欢,很有趣,也很容易相处.然而,就像Chris Rock说的哪样,谁也不会嘲笑一个能教训自己的大家伙."
在那之前,在这位巨人回到绳圈中之前,每天晚上主持人的台词都会变成"今晚是一场大型的,糟糕的秀",每天晚上都是.
"我感谢一切,"Bigshow说."感激每个与我比赛的选手,他们都很信任我,把他们的身体交给了我[译者:这句翻得太色情了,哈哈,正确的理解是,因为选手们对bigshow很信任,所以很放心地与他进行比赛而不担心会受伤.].感激支持我退役决定的WWE官员们,当时我满含热泪地走过去,告诉他们,我已经无法再坚持下去了."
除了这些诚恳的言语,Bigshow还有话要对ECW和WWE的fans们说.
"我要对ECW的fans予以特别的感谢,"他补充道."我不是传统意义上的ECW的一分子,但我已经为其奉献了我的全部,我希望我在ECW中的位置是坚固而又不可动摇的.所有为我欢呼,喜爱我的人,以及讨厌我,嘘我的人,下面这句话献给你们:谢谢."
译者:今年是充满了回归和离别的一年,dx重组,bod重组,hardy重组,ECW重生,eric再出镜;goldust被解雇,kurt专投tna,trish退役,lita退役,bigshow退役,heyman回归之后又离开,太多的事情了,传闻rvd等人也要离开,整个wwe都在面临着前所未有的变动,多的话我也说不好,但愿Vince能给我们一个满意的结局
ps:据说ut和kane也是在明年离开,真希望不是真的.....

英文全文:
Show's over
By Craig Tello
December 6, 2006
The World’s Largest Athlete has made his life’s biggest decision, and for now, WWE and ECW will be without a giant.
Not since Andre the Giant has there been a man of Big Show’s stature who’s made such impact on sports-entertainment. But, after more than seven years in WWE and a five-month reign of dominance in the reborn ECW, Big Show has decided to take time away from the ring.
Enduring not only one of the most physical confrontations in his career against new ECW World Champion Lashley on ECW on Sci Fi, but also experiencing the agony and misery within the torturous Extreme Elimination Chamber, it seemed that this week was the breaking point for the giant.
Some close to Big Show have said that his pride was lost after losing the ECW World Title. His lingering emotions and injuries, coupled with several tumultuous days contributed to his decision to step away.
“I’m a raw-boned bastard that breaks things and moves the immovable objects. When I’m injured, I can’t do those things,” said the Extreme Giant. “I’m much more valuable healthy both mentally and physically, and this hiatus will help me to get there.”
According to Big Show, he has been plagued by a multitude of injuries from herniated discs to torn muscles, but has still competed through the pain. Bodily damage of this nature is something an ordinary individual (of far smaller size) could never endure, let alone carry the weight of the ECW World Title in a highly physical realm of hardcore.
“I’ve reached a point in my career right now where I am a little run down and hurt pretty bad physically,” explained the Extremist. “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.”
Despite his display of supremacy, Big Show claimed that his performance in the ring has not been at his full potential. It is this that has driven the immense competitor to step away from WWE for now.
“I think every athlete reaches a point in their career when he really has to check himself and evaluate what is going on,” said the 500-pound Extremist. “Anybody who knows me knows I need a break. People go through life so fast sometimes they miss it; I just want to put on the brakes.”
According to the World’s Largest Athlete, the physical ache he’s experienced doesn’t compare to the emotional anguish that’s accompanied his decision to take a break not just from his career, but also the familial lifestyle of sports-entertainment.
With a career that’s spanned more than one decade, Big Show has held every major World Championship in sports-entertainment and is the only man to hold the WWE Championship, ECW World Title and World Heavyweight Championship.
More importantly, the Extreme Giant said that in his conquests, he’s had the extraordinary opportunity to have battled the biggest icons in sports-entertainment including Hulk Hogan, Triple H, Ric Flair, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Rock, Undertaker and countless others.
“It’s bittersweet; this business is a family. I’ve been traveling and I’ve been in this business for 11 wonderful years,” stated a passionate Big Show. “I’ve been able to work with almost every top Superstar in this business that’s ever meant anything… I’ve had some very memorable matches and I’m thankful for it.”
Whether cheered or jeered by WWE fans, Big Show has always been respected and kept audiences in sheer awe. Now, the seven-footer is anxious to take some time away from the spotlight, though that spotlight shines extra bright upon an individual of such mammoth size.
“Being this big, you can never hide,” he admitted with a large grin. “I’m thankful for it but right now I just want some time for myself. I’m thankful for the fans and I hope that they can respect this decision and can be supportive too.”
While Big Show hopes to recover and refresh himself, he discussed his possible involvement in a future WWE Films release.
“I want to reinvent myself if possible, and find out who Big Show really is,” he admitted. “I’d like to do a WWE movie – a comedy – because I have a pretty good sense of comedic timing. I’m a pretty humble, lovable, funny, easy-going guy with a short fuse. Then again, like Chris Rock said, nobody wants to laugh at a big guy who could beat your ass.”
Until then, it’ll be a “big, bad show tonight” and every other night until the Extreme Giant makes his way back home to the squared circle.
“I’m thankful for everything,” asserted Big Show. “For every man who has stepped in the ring with me and trusted me with their bodies. For WWE officials who have been so supportive of my decision when I basically went to them in tears and told them I was burnt out.”
In addition to these very genuine words, Big Show also had a message for ECW and WWE fans alike.
“I’d like to give a special thanks to ECW fans,” he added. “I wasn’t a part of the original ECW, but I gave all I had for them and I hope solidified my part in ECW. For anyone who has cheered me, loved me, hated me and booed me: thank you.”

Paul Heyman对Bigshow的喜爱造成了这样一种互相妥协的关系,当这位500磅的巨人予以支持的时候,Heyman便尽其所能来保护ECW的冠军头衔所有者.甚至在SummerSlam上进行那场ECW首次ppv露脸之战的时候,heyman无法保证他成功卫冕,Bigshow依旧击败了sabu.这位巨人最近正在对Mr. McMahon施加影响,仅仅是由于主席先生容纳了DX的存在.
他是世界上体型最大的选手.想当年,在他之前的Andre the Giant和Big John Studd叱咤一时,Bigshow也是一位令人敬畏的选手,他仅仅用体型和凶狠的目光就可以震慑住对手.
在加入WWE之前,Bigshow被称为WCW的巨人,在那里他赢得了两次WCW冠军.巨人对WCW的历史造成过一次直接的影响:他主动找上了Hulk Hogan,并最终在1995年的"万圣节浩劫"上将其击败,并得到了WCW冠军
巨人再次得到WCW冠军的时候同样是干掉了一个传奇,他在1996年四月份击败了伟大的Ric Flair.四个月之后,巨人加入了竞技娱乐中最声名狼藉的组织之一--nWo.
巨人同样也是WCW双打冠军的队伍成员,他和Scott Hall搭档过,在90年代后期还和Sting组合过.
Bigshow在与WWE签约之后便逐渐称为了世界范围的知名选手.他在1999年的"情人节屠杀"中初次登场,当时
他乱入了Mr. McMahon与Stone Cold Steve Austin的铁笼比赛.第二天的Raw节目上,他宣誓效忠Mr. McMahon ,并加入了The Corporation[常译为"公司帮"]
九个月之后,他在Survivor Series上的三重威胁战中击败了The Rock和Triple H,首次赢得了WWE冠军.从那时开始,他势不可挡,成为了WWE史上最有统治力的选手之一.在1999年他也和Undertaker搭档,两次赢得双打冠军腰带.
2002年三月,选手们一分为二,Raw进行了首次Draft Lottery选手交换.Bigshow被当时的GM Ric Flair分到了Raw,并在接下来的七个月中继续统治着raw.
在No Mercy上,被挫败的Bigshow威胁新的GM Eric Bischoff,如果后者不给他在近期安排一场冠军腰带战的话,他就要打破eric的头.第二天,Bigshow被交换到SD,他在那得到了挑战Brock Lesnar WWE冠军头衔的机会.在Survivor Series上,Bigshow击败了Lesnar,从而在他首次夺冠的三周年纪念日再次用腰带予以庆祝,并重回WWE顶尖选手之列.
Bigshow继续统治着SD,直到2002年的Armageddon,他受到了Kurt Angle对其腰带的挑战.Albert和Lesnar乱入了比赛,Lesnar 甚至对Bigshow用出了F-5.Angle从中收益,并压制了Bigshow,赢得了冠军腰带.
Big Show与Brock Lesnar的不和持续到了2003年,两位选手在sd和ppv上打了很多经典的比赛.Big Show 与Brock Lesnar在Judgment Day上打了一场Stretcher Match,在比赛中甚至使用了铲车.一个月之后,两位选手在sd中上演了WWE史上最令人难忘的场景之一.Brock 在最顶层绳圈上对bigshow使出了令人难以置信的superplex,以至于整个擂台都坍塌了.
2003年的稍晚些时候,Bigshow与伟大的Eddie Guerrero开始了令人难忘的不和剧情,Eddie从此通过"欺骗"的手段使自己的形象深入人心.在sd的一段情节中,Eddie 骗bigshow吃了一炉子的"特制玉米饼",结果让后者在洗手间整整呆了一晚上无法出场.在No Mercy上,Big Show得到了Eddie的us冠军腰带,从而笑到了最后.
在WrestleMania 20上,Bigshow和John Cena发生了不和,cena对bigshow的us冠军腰带发起挑战.在多次压制Bigshow未果之后,Cena借助外力干掉了bigshow,"窃取"了Bigshow的腰带.
Bigshow的下一个不和剧情是多年前的重演.Kurt Angle成为了Bigshow发泄愤怒的目标,两者在sd上对立了数月.然后这个不和剧情持续了三个ppv:No Mercy, Survivor Series,和 Armageddon.两者互有胜负.
在2005年的No Way Out上,Bigshow又把目标指向了JBL的WWE冠军腰带.为了避免外界因素干扰比赛,SD的GM Theodore Long将比赛形式定为Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match[译者:就是笼子上有带刺的铁丝的比赛].比赛进行了很长时间,两位选手都是浴血奋战,Bigshow努力寻找制胜之道.他用一记结实的Chokeslam 将JBL从顶层绳圈之上摔出.当他脱离铁笼之后,从绳圈下面滚出来的JBL杀意骤升,抢走了Big Show第三次获得的WWE冠军腰带.
当年六月,Bigshow又被交换到Raw,不久就和Big Red Monster Kane组成了双打.两位7英尺高的怪物很快就通过击败Lance Cade 与 Trevor Murdoch而登上了双打的巅峰--在Taboo Tuesday得到了World Tag Team Championship.Big Show 和 Kane在2005年终之前就是不可战胜的,而且他们在WrestleMania 22上,面对Carlito 和 Chris Masters的组合,依旧成功捍卫了冠军头衔.第二天的Raw节目上,这两位怪物被The Spirit Squad击败,从而丢掉了腰带.
当Bigshow不得不从Kane的Chokeslam中解救播音员Lilian Garcia的时候, 这一对搭档很快就正式解散了.
在Backlash上,Bigshow与老搭档Kane反目成仇.这场比赛被称为终极力量对决中的"最强矛vs.最坚盾".但在比赛中,Kane莫名其妙地自我毁灭了.The Big Red Monster开始幻听,他停下来,用头撞着角柱.Kane继续在垫子上翻滚,Bigshow用一把椅子将其摆平.有些发狂的Bigshow离开了擂台,对自己刚才对老友所作的事不甚开心.而Kane,居然又坐了起来,在那么恐怖的打击之后,脸上仍然浮出一丝冷笑.
在WWE vs. ECW Head to Head这个ppv中,Bigshow再次震撼了整个摔角界,他褪去了身上代表Raw的背心,现出的另外一件却标着ECW的标志.在Randy Orton将Kurt Angle从顶层绳圈上掀出去之后,还以为自己为WWE赢得了这场20人的皇家大战.但在Bigshow显然已经属于ECW之后,他给了传奇杀手一记chokeslam,并将后者从绳圈上扔了出去,为自己的新东家赢得了一场伟大的胜利.就在这场比赛开始之前,Bigshow还说ECW根本不知道应该派谁参加这次皇家大战,果然,他说对了,他就是卧底.
http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/extremists/bigshow/3005536/04.jpg
在Sci Fi频道七月四日的ECW节目中,Big Show靠着Paul Heyman帮忙击败了Rob Van Dam,赢得了ECW世界冠军头衔.那一夜,他成为了唯一一个拥有过WWE,WCW,ECW三条腰带的选手.
