How's this match for WM 25 - Big Show vs Russian boxer Nikolai Valuev?
Feb 19, 2009 by curious | Posted in Wrestling
The mammoth, world famous Russian boxer, Nikolai Valuev is 2,11 metres (6'11") tall. Big Show is billed at 7ft but since WWE exxagerates the heights, he may be less than that but most people say 7ft is his true height.
I was disappointed by the ridiculous Big Show-Mayweather match at WM24. I hate that midget Floyd. It was total impaired that Floyd had to beat Big Show. It was like a badger beating a lion!
But imagine a match between a wrestler and a boxer when both are equally colossal. Valuev is the biggest boxer in the world + he is Russian. The Giant American Wrestler vs the Giant Russian Boxer contest would be an shocking sight.
Of course not very likely this will occur. But awesome if it did. I think there MAY BE one problem though. IF INDEED Big Show's height is greatly exxagerated, and he stands next to Valuev and Valuev towers over him, then it would perceive a joke of Big Show's moniker, the World's Largest Athlete (which I suppose is already disproven since Khali is slightly bigger than Big Show).
But for complete entertainment spectacle, what do you guys think of a Big Show-Valuev match?
how was nikolai gogol an influence on russian literature?
Jan 31, 2008 by r | Posted in Books & Authors
A very enchanting writer. His early works such as 'Diary of a Madman' introduce a nightmarish world of fantastic imagination , introducing his irrational fears, obsessions and frustrations - somewhat novel in Russian lit at the time. But in 1836 with his play 'The Inspector- General' he took on a different world, one of comedy and pasquinade to expose corruption, ignorance and vanity among provincial officials. and in 1842 published probably his greatest toil 'Dead Souls' a more serious work of literature but broadly speaking in the same genre. In his later works, he turned inwards on himself becoming obsessed with his own sins and he destroyed many of his residual manuscripts.
His works were innovative by contemporary standards in Russia and have remained popular there and in translation in other countries ever since his eradication in 1852.
