History Awesome / TheBigShow

** Also he is the third man after Wrestling/{{Edge}} and Wrestling/KurtAngle to have held all of the currently active titles.

* How he got his job back. He ''sued'' the Authority for wrongful termination and for forcing him to be their minion. That's right, Big Show ''weaponized'' RealityEnsues.

* Winning the Intercontinental Championship from Cody Rhodes at Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}} 28, his ''first ever'' solo win at Wrestlemania, and becoming the 12th Grand Slam Champion. Wrestlemania moment indeed!

* His trio of matches with Wrestling/BraunStrowman. Sure, the latter won all three, but Show visibly made him work for it each time -- with his second one featuring another Big Elbow drop from the top rope.

* How about his debut in the WWE? Sure, he ended up losing the match for Mr. [=McMahon=], but he did hurt Austin severely.

* His duo of matches with Wrestling/BraunStrowman. Sure, the latter's won both, but Show's visibly made him work for it each time, with his second one featuring another Big Elbow drop from the top rope.

* 10/07/13 Monday Night RAW: After spending a month+ being little more than a pawn for Wrestling/TheAuthority, The Big Show is fired for having knocked out everyone in the previous night's championship match, ending it in a no-contest. The Big Show, however, refused to go quietly. After the last match, when Wrestling/TheShield was doing their usual post-match beat down on their opponents, The Big Show's music hit and he came out, with a purposeful stride that sent Triple H scurrying behind The Shield. As he entered the Ring, the Shield attacked, beating him down. Triple H got brave again, took his jacket off, and ordered the Shield to finish him off. However, as The Shield was lifting him up, The Big Show roared back to life, launched all three members of the Shield out of the ring and leaving him alone with Triple H. One KO Punch later, The Big Show is walking away, leaving Triple H prone in the ring. As MichaelCole said, "There is nothing more dangerous than a desperate man with nothing to lose."

* His duo of matches with Wrestling/BraunStrowman. Sure, the latter's won both, but Show's visibly made him work for it each time.

* On a 2004 SmackDown!, a lumberjack match between Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero breaks down into a massive brawl involving just about everyone present. Returning from injury, Big Show marches down and ''single-handedly destroys EVERY SINGLE WRESTLER'' on the SmackDown! roster in roughly three minutes.

* Big Show pulled off a '''sunset flip''' on the 8/29/2014 Smackdown against Wrestling/TheWyattFamily. For the record, this is a move that is usually reserved for cruiserweights and some of the lighter heavyweights. This is a ''500 pound man'' pulling this off. And he made it look easy!

** And when he pulled apart the ring on [[Wrestling/{{WCW}} Thunder]] by ripping out one of the ring posts. With one hand.

** Done again with Wrestling/MarkHenry in ''[[SevenYearRule 2011]]'', which was just as awesome, if not more awesome than the Brock Lesnar superplex.
** Wrestling/BraunStrowman doing it ''[[RuleOfThree in 2017]]''. Bonus points for Strowman being the only one still standing shortly after.
** Given the amount of poundage that was hitting the canvas in either case, the gimmicked ring might well have been the only thing keeping it from getting trashed for real, as well as keeping everyone from getting seriously injured.

** Given that, due to some of the belts being permanently retired, there are only four active wrestlers left that could possibly accomplish the feat (those being Wrestling/TheUndertaker, Wrestling/WilliamRegal, Mark Henry, and [[Wrestling/RonKillings R-Truth]]... yes, you read that right), all four of them are over 40 and the only one that works a full-time schedule is the least likely to do it (R-Truth, who needs a World and the IC title and has been largely a career midcarder), Show may well be the last one to accomplish the feat the original format.
** Big Show is also a Grand Slam Champion under the current format which replaces the European and Hardcore with the United States title and replace the World Heavyweight with the Universal title

Show is currently billed weight is 383 pounds, which is the lightest he's been since WCW, and he has a visible six-pack, something he didn't even have then.

* Any time he comes out to the ring and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown clears house on multiple wrestlers]]. Even if he winds up losing afterward, it's ''still'' a treat to see.

** Not to mention Big Show's absolute GenreSavvy shit-eating grin the entire time. He knew the moment he KO'ed Armstrong and cost Orton the title that Stephanie would be all over him about it. He knew that calling her and Triple H out would not only piss her off, but that completely no-selling her BitchSlap and verbal spites would lead her to fire him out of frustration, freeing him up for an ''much'' overdue RoaringRampageOfRevenge. He was GenreSavvy to not try and get back into the building until ''after'' Triple H thought he'd be long gone, in all likelihood dispatched whatever [[{{Mooks}} "security"]] JBL was hoping for, then hit the stage, bulldozing through the Shield with relative ease and taking all of five seconds to decide whether or not to KO his boss who has all but stated that he owns Show. During all of this (except during the brief Shield beatdown) Show never once stopped smiling because...he knew.

* How about his debut in the WWE? Sure, he ended up losing the match for Mr. [=McMahon=], but he did hurt Austin severely.

* And then there was his match with Wrestling/ShaneMcMahon, where he ''fell off the Titan Tron'' and fell more than thirty feet to the arena floor. Shane then proved to be just as ballsy as his [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon old man]] by jumping down after him for the pinfall.

* [[AwesomenessIsAForce Every time it's his turn to join a Royal Rumble, the other wrestlers are terrified by his jingle]].

* March 4, 2000: Following a series of matches where The Big Show wore a variety of costumes, this particular night (''Backlash'') he came out dressed as...Wrestling/HulkHogan. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTR42h-wdyU And the similarities don't end there.]]

* ''Elimination Chamber'' '12: Breaking ''through'' one of the pods to get at [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] After spending a good portion of the match taunting Big Show from the safety of the pod you can see the moment Bryan goes from a SmugSnake to realizing [[OhCrap just how bad things got for him.]]
