Reminiscent of such goliaths as Andre the Giant and Big John Studd, Big Show is a feared competitor who intimidates opponents with his size and stare alone. The World’s Largest Athlete’s measurements are astounding. He weighs 441 pounds, stands a mighty 7-feet tall, wears a 22 EEEEE size shoe and boasts a 64-inch chest. It’s no surprise then that his in-ring debut left a crater-sized impression on the likes of Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair in WCW, where the young giant captured the WCW Championship on two occasions, along with the WCW Tag Team Championship.In 1999, Show emerged as a global star upon signing with WWE, where he collided with Superstars of great acclaimand captured a slew of titles, including the WWE Championship. From “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and The Rock to The Undertaker and Triple H, there’s no top name in the business who hasn’t succumbed to the man’s battering ram of a fist. He’s even gone toe-to-toe with world champion boxer Floyd MayweatherJr., who only managed to clean Show’s clock at WrestleMania XXIV with the aid of brass knuckles.On a lighter note, The World’s Largest Athlete happens to be the world’s largestfan of the Rat Pack. He’s also an expert auto mechanic and owns a 64-foot yachtdubbed “Showdaddie.” And unlike the giants before him, Big Show harbors a sense of humor, which he put on full display in WWE Studios’ 2010 theatrical release, “Knucklehead.” He followed that flick up with a more serious role in WWE Studios action-thriller "Vendetta" alongside Dean Cain.Yet make no mistake, Show, the first manto capture the WWE, WCW and ECW Championships, is still more proficient atdelivering punches than punchlines. At 2011’s Vengeance, he unleashed a devastating half-ton superplex on Mark Henry, which not only shook the ring to its core, but also caused it to implode. Now that’s high impact. At WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs 2011, Show captured his first World Heavyweight Championship and won the Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania XXVIII, marking another first for WWE’s giant.During an action-packed WrestleMania Kickoff show, Big Show realized a defining WrestleMania moment by winning the second annual Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal!After a brief absence, Big Show returned to WWE to face Ryback for the Intercontinental Championship at WWE Money in the Bank. Show won the match(but not the title) via disqualification afteroutside interference from The Miz. At SummerSlam, The World Largest Athlete tangled with both Ryback and Miz in an Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat Match, but missed grabbing the title when The Big Guy pinned Miz.At Live from MSG: Lesnar vs. Big Show, The World’s Largest Athlete nearly pinned Brock Lesnar after three straight chokeslams, but ultimately was defeatedby The Beast Incarnate.Still in possession of the world’s largest mean streak, Big Show remains a monstrous threat. Best of luck to anyonewho crosses his path.
