The episode “Star Trek: Enterprise” “Borderland” (October 29, 2004) was significant in “Star Trek” Lore. It was the first part of an arc of three episodes which finally offered a canonical reason to explain why Klingons looked like humans in the original series of “Star Trek”, but had great excessive fronts in “Star Trek: The Next Generation”. It seems that a crazy geneticist named Arik Soong (Brent Spiner) has tinkered with genetic improvements, creating “ideal” versions of humanity called increase. In the tradition of “Star Trek”, such genetic improvements are strictly verboten, because such previous attempts have led to a war of vicious eugenics on earth. Soong’s ostracized increases fell into Klingon society and started to have children. Children of increases and klingons looked like klingons from the 1966 era. DNA, will soon be raised in a few generations. Hence the reason why Klingons looked different on the “next generation”.
“Borderland” was however only the opening act of history and presented the crew of the USS Enterprise to try to find the flight increases, which had diverted a ship from Klingon. The pursuit of the company leads its crew to a slave trade in Orion. Orons, in the tradition of “Star Trek”, are generally pirates and criminals, and they are still committed in complete slavery. They kidnap people, then sell them at slave auctions, which happens to Commander T’Pol (Jolene BLALOC) and several other business crew members.
While standing on the block of slaves auction, T’Pol is “displayed” by a huge smiling oron or ogre -shaped with several facial piercings and a steel helmet. Big Orion is not appointed, or plays an important role in history, but WWE fans could recognize it as seven times the world champion The Big Show. It is difficult to miss it because it measures 7’2 “high and weighs around 500 pounds.
The big show is the third wwe wrestler to have appeared on Star Trek
The big show, also known by his real name of Paul Wight, began his wrestling career in the mid -1990s and acquired links with personalities of struggle in the world of wrestling of the World Championship (WCW). Wight fought as “The Giant” until 1999, the date on which he was warmed up the big show of Wrestlemania XV. His wrestling career is large and varied, and, frankly, too complicated to enter here. Needless to say, he appreciated decades of glory and, from 2021, operates as an advertiser by the ring for the entire elite struggle (AEW).
The big show was involved in “Star Trek” because, at the time “Enterprise” was in the air, he worked for “Smackdown” by WCW. The WCW was supervised by Paramount, the parent company of “Star Trek”, so it was easy for Mr. Show to head to the studio and the following hearing. Wight also had several screen credits in 2004, having appeared as a grand santa Claus in “Jingle All The Way”, as Captain Insano in “The Waterboy”, and on a dozen television shows, so he was comfortable in front of the cameras. His size and charisma made him seduce to the casting directors, and he played a threatening oron slave enough. He was easily capable of lifting the 5’7 “Jolene Blalock on his feet without even tightening. His final scene on” Star Trek “involved Blalock to kick his character to the crotch. He deserved it.
Big show is also the third professional wrestler to appear on “Star Trek”. Dwayne Johnson, at the time he performed as a rock, appeared in the episode “Star Trek: Traveling” “Tsunkatse” (February 9, 2000), playing a very rocky area (and the scrolling Jeri Ryan, his co-star). Then, in the pilot episode “Enterprise” “Broken Bow” (September 24, 2001), Tommy “Tiny” Lister, Jr. – formerly known by his Ring name Zeus – played a Klingon named Klaang.
