#5 Big Show becoming WWF Champion

Show

won the gold at Survivor Series 1999.

1999 was a strange year for the WWF Championship, which was held by seven Superstars across the 12 months.

The most bizarre of these champions was the Big Show, who was able to defeat Triple H for the title at Survivor Series 1999, whose rise to being the company’s top heel was hurt with the loss.

But the Giant was never even meant to be in the match, as the plan had been for Steve Austin to dethrone the Game, in a triple threat match which also featured longtime nemesis The Rock.

However, Austin’s neck issues were getting worse, requiring urgent surgery, with the WWF writing him out of the match with a now infamous hit and run.

Whilst a fine enough Superstar, the young Big Show wasn’t quite World Champion material, only defending the title once on pay per view, and not even in the main event.

His reign abruptly ended, hinting at the mess to come from the “who ran over Stone Cold” angle.
