10 Best World Champions Of The WWE Attitude Era

10. Big Show

The one-time 'Giant' experienced quite the first 12-months as part of Vince McMahon's sports entertainment world.

On the back of his shocking debut in 1999 at St. Valentine's Day Massacre: In Your House, bursting out of the ring and attacking 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin mid-cage match with Mr. McMahon, Big Show actually ended up finishing this barmy year as WWE Champion.

And while the reign itself wasn't in any way memorable, his actual title win was definitely up there as one of the most shocking Attitude Era moments ever.

After Austin had been pulverised by a car earlier in the evening, Show was eventually revealed as his substitute in a triple threat match boasting Triple H and The Rock at Survivor Series.

But rather than have either of those established main event stars walk out of Detroit as the champ, the one-time WCW monster unexpectedly conquered 'The Game' and 'The Great One', with a little help from the boss, to win his first-ever WWE Championship.

Again, this was about as good as it got for Show as world champ during the time of "Attitude", and Trips would regain his strap 50-days later. Yet, he still found himself at the centre of one of the most jaw-dropping title changes of the era. And for that, he just about scrapes onto this star-studded top ten.
