#4. The Big Show vs. Andre The Giant in WWE

A battle between the two great giants in WWE history would have been something to behold. Goliath vs. Goliath. Visually, it would have been a sight that would have stood the test of time as the two stood face-to-face before locking horns.

The Big Show won the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal in 2015 at WrestleMania, but during his WCW days, he was billed as Andre's son.

The Big Show, known as The Giant, for Ted Turner's company, spoke on the Steve Austin Show about taking on such a role:

"It was awkward. It was very awkward because [Hulk] Hogan and [Eric] Bischoff came up with this idea and that's why Hogan latched onto me right away. That's why I got a career and opportunity. To go as the son of André, yeah, it gave me credibility with the fans. It was kind of a real crappy trick to play on the fans because everybody loved André so much and it cornered me into a position because I still have fans that come up to me to this day that tell me how much they loved my dad." The Big Show said. (h/t ewrestling)

They definitely would have needed to reinforce the WWE ring for this one. We can only wonder which super-athlete would have been able to lift the other to claim a monumental victory. The Big Show with his chokeslam, or Andre The Giant with his bodyslam. The WWE Universe would have loved it.
