In terms of matches that were way more fun than they had any right to be, there are few better answers than the Big Show capturing the World Heavyweight Title from Sheamus at Hell in a Cell 2012.

Even back in 2012 this was a groan-worthy prospect of a title fight, but honestly might be one of the most low-key entertaining hoss fights of the last decade.

Despite the Big Show going into the match without much credibility to speak of, on its own terms it was a thrilling battle of the bulls, as both men made every hard hit count, impressively going the distance over a potentially concerning 20-minute runtime.

As much as this might've seemed like a toilet break match in theory, the sheer physicality of it and the dramatic near-falls quickly got the crowd invested, in turn delivering one of the greatest matches of the Big Show's career.
