Big Show as World Champion

WWE veteran The Big Show won his first World Heavyweight Championship title in 2011 when he defeated Mark Henry at WWE TLC, and after the match, Henry knocked out Show with a DDT on a steel chair. This allowed Daniel Bryan to come in and cash in his Smackdown Money in the Bank briefcase, defeating Big Show for the title.

This gave Show the shortest-ever World Heavyweight Championship reign at only 45 seconds. Big Show made his WWE debut in 1999 and won the title for the first time in 2011 then lost it in just 45 seconds. Not only does he fall under Dolph Ziggler as one of the worst World Heavyweight Champion of all time, but for a guy of his size and accolade to lose the title so quick only gave him a negative effect.

He won the title for the second time in 2012 by defeating Sheamus at Hell in a Cell. Show defended his title several times but mostly retained his titles by disqualification and due to a no-contest. He lost his title in 2013 to Del Rio ending his reign at just 72 days. From what he achieved in WCW and his early days in WWE, his run as World Heavyweight Champion was lacklustre and unimpressive.
