It should come as no surprise that the biggest man in WWE for many years would hit one of the most devastating Chokeslams in all of WWE. Big Show did many small variations that only made his Chokeslam look far more dangerous than a ‘standard’ one.

Sometimes, he would hold his opponent up in the air for a few seconds before slamming them down hard. In other cases, he’d hold onto them as he knelt down, which made the move look more impactful than if he simply let go after reaching maximum height. In other cases, he’d do a spin and make it look like he was Chokeslamming them over his shoulder.

Because of his massive size, Big Show’s Chokeslam was believable as one of the most powerful and impactful moves in WWE. As a perfect example, one of his earliest Chokeslams saw him slam the Undertaker down with so much force that it ‘broke a hole’ in the ring. That is how much power Big Show put into his Chokeslam, which should’ve been his finisher forever instead of that embarrassing ‘knockout punch’.
