actually the big 3 is what was used to refer to the major automobile monopolies in the 1950s-1960s; GM, Ford, and Chrysler. i'm sure about this due to the car references and if you've ever watched the movie Tucker, you'd know what i'm talking about

basically this guy tried to start a car company and was having trouble trying to compete with the big 3's way of eliminating competition through black mail and money. in the end his company was taken away and only a handful of tuckers (cars) were ever made, but they're worth a shitload today. he was a threat to the big 3 because of his innovative safety designs which we all see being used today: seat belts, pop out windshields, more space between the car and the tire, better headlights, etc.
