Big Show is one of the most famous WWE Superstars to have ever stepped inside the ring. Be it his size or the constant heel turns, there are a lot of things about Big Show that helped him make a name for himself in the business. Now, we even see him being entrusted with the responsibility of guiding young talents at the WWE Performance Centre.

However, there was a time when Big Show himself was a rookie. Luckily for him, soon after he arrived in the WWE, The Undertaker took him under his wing. The latter would be harsh on the future Superstar but he always had his back. The Undertaker ensured that Big Show developed into an all-round performer and was an unconventional mentor.

Talking about his relationship with The Undertaker in WWE, Big Show was quoted saying:

Undertaker is one of the greatest and smartest guys in the history of the business. He understands his character so well and he's an expert in psychology. I was lucky enough to come in at a time and have him as my mentor when there wasn't a lot of mentors around. It was extremely competitive and no one gave a crap if you succeeded or not. As long as you could put asses in seats, that's all anyone cared about.”
"I had a lot of potential but I was green as grass. Hogan always took care of me in WCW. Flair told me what to do and so did Randy[Savage] and Arn[Anderson]. I just got in the ring and did what I was told. When I got to the WWE I had to do my own thing because no one was thinking for me. During that time period, 'Taker took me under his wing and man, it was old school. He would chew my ass out every night for something. I remember every night driving in my car thinking, 'Well I'm a fat piece of trash'."

However, Big Show would soon understand that The Undertaker is trying to push him to his limits. They both went on to engage in great matches and Big Show will always credit ‘Taker for shaping his career with his guidance during Show’s initial days with WWE.
