Bio
Reminiscent of Andre the Giant and Big John Studd before him, Big Show is a feared competitor who can intimidate an opponent with his size and stare alone. The pound-for-pound World’s Largest Athlete’s measurements are astounding: 485 pounds, 7 feet of raw girth and might, 22 EEEEE shoe size, 22 1/2 ring size, and a 64-inch chest.
Big Show made his in-ring debut in WCW, where he left a massive impression as The Giant, and captured the WCW Championship on two occasions, along with the WCW Tag Team title. The Giant had an immediate impact in WCW, focusing his attention on some of the biggest icons in the industry, from Hulk Hogan to “Nature Boy” Ric Flair.
In 1999, the mighty giant became a worldwide star upon signing with WWE. He continued to collide with Superstars of great renown and captured countless titles, including the WWE Championship. From Stone Cold Steve Austin to The Rock to Undertaker to Triple H, Big Show has battled and manhandled the top names in all of WWE.
In the years that followed, no Superstar on the roster could stand toe-to-toe with Big Show feeling anything close to confident, and with good reason.
Using his incredible size to utterly manhandle even the most seasoned combatants, Big Show found success wherever he went, whether it be Raw, SmackDown, or ECW.
Among his myriad accomplishments, Big Show became the first Superstar in history to capture the WWE, WCW, and ECW Championships when he conquered The Land of the Extreme in 2006.
Although he is known to display his talent outside the ring, including a comedic turn in WWE Studios’ Knucklehead, this titanic warrior is all business when he steps through (or in his case, over) the ropes. He’s armed with a mighty Knockout Punch and a vast array of high-impact maneuvers, and there is not a Superstar on the roster who can intimidate Big Show.
Breakdown
What can you say about Big Show? You’re not going to win any foot races, but with 100 ratings in Grapple Power and Strike Power, he can move opponents to critical damage states outside the ring in just two moves.
Taunt and get your Signature move and he can store up to three Finishers with his 90 Charisma. Big Show is an absolute beast to submit with 100 Durability. His Overall rating is as low as 92 only because his Speed and Agility are the game’s worst at 45 and 40, respectively.
If he was still slow but in the 50s or 60s, he’d easily be the highest-rated Superstar in the game.
