    The plan apparently is for him is to face Hogan at 'Mania as the 20th anniversary of Hogan and Andre in Detroit. I think that might be it for him then.

    I hope he's okay too.

    It was known before D2D that this was going to happen so hopefully he recovers well and we him again in the ring in the near future....

    It's been floating around that he'll be finishing up with wrestling soon for a good few months now. There were reports of him wanting to get into acting, especially comedy, which he's said in that interview too

    Keep in mind too that a lot of people who have the same condition as Big Show often die young. André was 10 years older than Show is now when he died, and he was in a lot of pain during his last years wrestling. Keeping in mind that wrestling isn't the healthiest past time itself, and that Big Show was on one of the highest paying contracts, it makes sense for him to give it a break

    Hope he heals up soon

    Just read up on some of the big shows farewell comments,and his comments towards the end when he thanks his fans and those that booed him seem like those that you would hear from a guy that was retiring.....

    I didn't like the Big Show as champion but he worked hard and put his body through hell even though most fans didn't appreciate it (me included to be fair) . He seems like a good guy so I say good luck to him.

    Anyone think Kurt Angle might have given him a call seeing as he's called Show one of his best friends?

    I think he'll take a long rest, do the Hogan match and take an even longer rest after that. But who knows in the future although I'm not sure what his contract situation with the WWE is.

    He should quit pro-wrestling, lose about 150lbs and think about his long-term health. He's made alot out of wrestling, but he will die young if he continues it.
