well, I just checked Keith's book again and it does say ten years. here's the description for Big Slow in the "cast of characters":
Signed to a ten year contract in 1999 during the heat of the wrestling wars, the result is a top push for him every other year to justify the money. Weight fluctuates between 350 and 500 pounds depending on his mood. Catchphrase: "Who's the sucker who signed me to a guaranteed contract, anyway?"
