The Big Show is rapidly approaching the end of an incredibly impressive career for any professional wrestler, but especially considering the mammoth frame of the real-life Paul Wight. If Show wrestles through February of 2016, he will have eclipsed 17 years with WWE in addition to four years, primarily on top, with WCW.

The early comparisons to Andre The Giant left Wight with big shoes to fill and while his booking has been no where near the quality level of Andre's, Show's athleticism and in-ring abilities blow Andre's off the page. Booking aside, Show is arguably the most gifted super heavyweight in WWE history.

In recent years, Big Show has taken loads of criticism from fans who are sick of seeing the big man being either overexposed or reduced to tears, literally, on numerous occasions. It's been so bad that many fans have overlooked his incredible gifts and don't consider him one of the greatest giants WWE has ever had. Even during his peak WWE run of around 2008, he was often seen as damaged goods considering the amount of start-and-stop pushes the big man received by then.

Time will tell if fans eventually recognize the incredible ability and career The Big Show has had, but for now, he's still one of the most underrated super heavyweights of all time.
