10 Attitude Era WWE Stars Who Should Have Been Bigger

9. The Big Show

It might seem strange to say that The Big Show, of all people, should have been bigger. Given his gargantuan size and WWE championship reigns it is hard to see how Show could be (literally or figuratively) bigger than he is. But during the Attitude Era people were writing off Mr. Wight as a massive failure before his career took off properly later. Jumping from WCW in February 1999 and attacking top star Steve Austin while aligning himself with the super-over Mr. McMahon, things initially looked good for The Big Show. Having signed a lucrative ten year contract with the organisation and with the business more popular than ever, Wight must have been feeling pretty good about his prospects in the group. That good feeling disappeared quickly when, after briefly flirting with the main event boys, 'The Big Nasty Bastard' found himself down in the midcard. Worse still, Show was involved in some truly humiliating feuds and segments including the notorious angle where Show surfed on his father's coffin as the Big Boss Man attached it to a hearse and drove it away. After another brief run in the main event in early 2000 Show was sent to developmental league Ohio Valley Wrestling to work on his cardiovascular conditioning and get into better shape. Given his physical attributes, Show should have been a world-beater but instead found himself in a glorified fat camp as a result of his own laziness.
