An Unusual Competitor Tried to Pin Big Show After Raw

You might’ve heard that the Big Show is the world’s largest athlete. While we’d have to launch a whole new site to comprehensively fact check WWE, we’ll give them the benefit of the doubt this time. After all, Big Show is in fact quite large.

That means that everyone wants a piece of him. In the modern era, Big Show has been the gatekeeper to the main event–beat him, and you’re on the way to the top of the card. Who would turn down that opportunity?

Turns out that not even WWE’s referees can resist the chance at immortality. Following the dark segment after Raw, where Brock Lesnar offered a beating to the big man, referees panicked about how to get the several-hundred pound man out of the ring. Then one said “screw it” and tried to pin him.

Luckily, fans got the video.

It’s these goofy moments that make live wrestling great.

Big Show was scheduled for a celebrity match at WrestleMania this year against Shaq, but it’s starting to look like that fight won’t be happening. I talked crap about that match, the same as you. Yet now, after a year-long build, I can’t help but be disappointed. Oh well.
