The Big Show is one of the Biggest and best wrestlers going today. He is an American professional wrestler. He currently wrestles for the World Wrestling Entertainment. On its SmackDown! brand he is known by his ring name The Big Show, he has also wrestled for World Championship Wrestling from 1995-1999. He was trained by Larry Sharpe He is 7'2" tall and weighs 441. Big Show has tons of power and he is a well liked by fans Big Show wrestled Flayed "money" Mayweather at Wrestle Mania 24. He lost the match but came out a winner by the fans. The Big Show has held many titles in his career. They are a 2 time WCW heavyweight champion, a 2 time WWE champion, a ECW champion so he has held three world championships from 3 different brands. A 3 time WWE tag team Champion(2 with Undertaker and one with Kane) I hope that Big Show wrestles for a long time and adds on to his championships.moreless

A good wrestler

8.0

Big Show is one of the best big man of all time, I just think he is pretty misused he should be more of a midcarder instead of being a maineventer, but it currently seems he really will never be again. I hope he does come back to WWE, eventually he will be a hall of famer.
DO YOU AGREE?
