The World's Largest Athlete has had an exceptionally great career with WWE. It is indeed impressive to see the longevity of The Big Show's wrestling career and him being able to get into great shape recently.

What many might now know is that The Big Show once almost ended his career or even life during a match with Kevin Nash in WCW. It was the year 1998, and The Big Show was headlining the show with Kevin Nash. The match ended up giving one of the biggest and scariest botches in wrestling history when Kevin Nash picked up Big Show for the Jack Knife Power Bomb. Unfortunately, Big Daddy Cool lost his balance which led to the Big Show landing on his neck.

With the World's Largest Athlete being over 400 pounds at that time, the botch was dangerous enough to end his career or even life. Thankfully, he survived it and went on to have a Hall-of-Fame worthy career in WWE.

He still appears occasionally on WWE programming to put over younger talents!
