#4 Big Show vs Kane
Number of TV matches: 22
First match: King of the Ring June 27, 1999 - Last match: SmackDown Mar. 14, 2014
Record: 13-2-7
These two big men faced each other for the first time in the 1999 King of the Ring tournament. The match was quite a sloppy one, as Big Show was fairly green at the time and he was not yet fully capable of utilising his enormous body the best way possible. Kane evaded a Big Boot on Show which landed straight on the referee's face, knocking him out cold.
He Chokeslamed Holly and then applied a Chokehold to Big Show, which led to a notorious botch: the two men were waiting for something (a cue or a run-down maybe?) that never happened, and they maintained the Chokehold for two whole minutes! With the crowd booing loudly, Big Show decided to break the hold and Kane gave him a thunderous chair shot to the skull (something you won't see nowadays, for a number of good reasons). The still-dazed referee counted to 3, allowing the Demon to qualify to the next round.
15 years later, on the March 14, 2014 SmackDown's main event, the Corporate Kane was accompanied to the ring by the Shield, under the Authority's orders. The anti-corporate Big Show came to the fight on his own (at least temporarily...). The highlight of the match was undoubtedly a thunderous Chokeslam from the top rope by Kane, with Show amazingly kicking-out at 2!
Right after that, Kane asked the Shield to get the job done for him in a rather demanding fashion, but he should know better: the Hounds of Justice despised him for acting like their superior, so they refused to help. During the altercation, Big Show had enough time to recover and give Kane a Chokeslam of his own, emerging victorious.
Considering their age and the role they have nowadays as younger talent boosters, those two legends might never face each other one-on-one again.
