#2 Big Show

After making a name for himself in WCW, Big Show jumped ship to WWE and kicked off his legendary career. The behemoth is known for regularly switching between heel and babyface personas, but Big Show always worked better as a dominant heel.

There are countless instances from the past 20 years, where Big Show was seen destroying WWE Superstars and showing absolutely no mercy. On the other hand, Big Show has proven on many occasions that he can also work as a comedy act.

Back in late 2003, Big Show kicked off a feud with John Cena, and the duo engaged in a rap battle on the December 11, 2003 episode of WWE SmackDown. Not as seasoned as Cena, Big Show still managed to hold his own during the hilarious contest, as can be seen in the video below.

Additionally, Big Show's rap attire got a solid chuckle out of the audience. The two Superstars went on to face off in the opening match of WrestleMania 20, with Big Show defending his United States title. Cena emerged victorious in the end and won the US title.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
