10 Worst Ever WWE Survivor Series Team Captains

5. The Big Show (1999)

Tactically, the decision might have stood up to scrutiny following the completely one-sided massacre that played out. But it was still unnecessarily cruel of The Big Show to hammer the sh*t out of his entire team in a rage before heading into action against a group led by the comically evil Big Boss Man.

A campaign of abuse from the former Cobb County lawman had infamously peaked on the pre-Survivor Series 1999 edition of SmackDown, when Boss Man crashed the funeral of Big Show Sr and dragged both coffin and son out of the cemetery in a darkly hilarious scene.

Show was understandably miffed, but couldn't contain his anger until the match itself, instead decimating partners The Blue Meanie and Kai En Tai (as well as their pay-per-view paycheques) before steamrolling through Mideon, Viscera, Albert and the Boss Man himself in under two minutes.

His expedited action would be explained later in the night, having backdoored into the WWE Title match following Steve Austin's collision with Rikishi's speeding car. He'd be blinded by his own sweat and tears instead of the red mist as the show went off the air, but there was no reason not to share the wealth with his fallen friends.
