The Big Show is a professional wrestler with World Wrestling Entertainment. He debuted in rival organization World Championship Wrestling in 1995 under the name "The Giant," and immediately feuded with Hulk Hogan upon his entrance.

SoBe Entertainment filed suit against Big Show in June of 2009 claiming that he backed out of a deal to become a boxer. SoBe was said to have paid the wrestler $84,000 a month along with $1 million for a house.TMZ: Big Show Accused of Big Conspiracy with WWE (June 16, 2009)

Big Show went to the WWE in February 1999, interfering in the steel cage match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon at the St. Valentine's Day Massacre pay-per-view. By the end of the year, he became the WWE Champion.

On March 30, 2008, Big Show wrestled boxer Floyd Mayweather in a match at WrestleMania XXIV. Billed as a "David versus Goliath encounter," Big Show dominated most of the contest, throwing and slapping Mayweather around the ring. But after numerous outside interferences by Mayweather's entourage, Big Show was brought to his knees after a few steel chair shots to the head by the boxer, and was knocked out by a punch to the jaw laced with brass knuckles.
