Sports Illustrated‘s Justin Barrasso is reporting that WWE allowed The Big Shows talent contract to expire back in February, and that he is now signed to an agent’s deal with the company.
The belief is that WWE signed him to an agent’s deal to keep him with the company, thus preventing him from working anywhere else.
“The Big Show was placed onto an agent’s deal by WWE. This prevents him from working independent shows, where he would have certainly been a draw, or even for working with Ring of Honor or New Japan.”
We would like to point out Barrasso’s recent track record, so you may want to take his report with a grain of salt until it has been confirmed by other outlets.
