Not many WWE Superstars have had as many WrestleMania moments as The Big Show.

The seven-foot Superstar has competed in matches at 17 WrestleManias during his legendary WWE career, including a main-event appearance in the Fatal 4-Way WWE Championship match against Triple H, The Rock, and Mick Foley at WrestleMania 2000.

He has also had memorable matches against John Cena (WrestleMania 20) and sumo wrestler Akebono (WrestleMania 21) at the famous event.

In 2008, Big Show took part in one of the top marquee matches at WrestleMania 24 against boxer Floyd “Money” Mayweather.

Unsurprisingly, the four-time WWE World Champion said in an interview on Miami radio station Sports Talk 790AM in 2016 that the special attraction match earned him the biggest payday of his WWE career.

The finish to the match saw Mayweather remove his boxing glove before striking Big Show with a pair of brass knuckles. The WWE Superstar was unable to stand up after a 10-count, resulting in the boxer winning the match.
