11 WWE WrestleMania Headliners Who Didn't Make The Following SummerSlam

6. Big Show - WrestleMania 2000

The main event of WrestleMania 2000 (or WrestleMania XVI, in a better world) was McMahon overload. Four men did battle over the WWF Championship, with a McMahon in every corner. HHH, The Rock, Mick Foley and Big Show were those men, and only two of them would subsequently make the SummerSlam card.

Those two, HHH and The Rock, would once again feature in the main event of that show with the richest prize in the game on the line. Mick Foley wouldn't make it to SummerSlam 2000, but this was for acceptable reasons. He was retired after all, and wouldn't wrestle again for four years.

Big Show wasn't so lucky. After 'Mania he took on a comical gimmick of mimicking other wrestlers, a character that quite simply hasn't worked for anyone in the history of anything ever. He turned face, then heel again, before he was written off TV after a run-in with The Undertaker.

In reality Show was sent to developmental to lose weight and sharpen his skills. He wouldn't return until the Royal Rumble in January 2001.
