#4 The Big Show

The list of Big Show's accomplishments is a long one. He has won the WWE, WCW, and ECW World titles, and was a major attraction during his prime.

Shane McMahon and The Big Show squared off against each other on multiple occasions in the early 2000s. On the road to WrestleMania 16, Shane McMahon and The Big Show were a team and McMahon accompanied the giant to the ring in the main event of the show. Soon after, the two split and feuded with each other.

Shane defeated The Big Show on an episode of SmackDown, and again at Judgment Day, in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Backlash 2001 saw Shane and Show meet again in a Last Man Standing Match. Surprisingly, Shane won this contest too, with some help from Test.

#3 Stone Cold Steve Austin

Shane McMahon's father Mr. McMahon was at odds with Stone Cold Steve Austin throughout his WWE in-ring career. This was the rivalry that helped WWE trump WCW during the Monday Night Wars.

During the early stages of this legendary feud, Shane and Vince teamed up to face Stone Cold Steve Austin in a Ladder Match at King of the Ring 1999, with the control of WWE on the line.

During the closing moments of the match, Shane dropped the ladder on the mat, with Austin and Vince still on top of it. This gave him enough time to grab the briefcase and win the match for his team.

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.
