I've said this in the Raw thread, but Big Show has to be one of, if not the worst booked character in history. They turn him at an alarming rate, and each time he turns they fizzle out on him within a month or two. Then he's just sorta there until someone thinks they should try and make him relevant again, at which point they decide the quickest way to do it is to turn him again.
Not to mention the big strong powerful giant being reduced to a big crybaby almost every time he goes face. I could understand maybe having someone break him down emotionally once...but every single time he goes face?
It's a shame too, because I actually like the Big Show. Maybe it's because I grew up with WCW and he's one of the few WCW alumni still wrestling. I feel like he could have actually been someone would pay to see lose to the underdog hero after he had a run terrifying the rest of the roster with his size. But he's shifted around so much that there's very little reason to get emotionally invested in anything his character does. Imagine if they had booked Andre the Giant this way?
