10 Worst World Champions In WWE History

The Big Show may be the world's largest athlete, but that hasn't translated to championship success. Like other big men before him, he failed to make it as a long-term titleholder.

Big Show's first title reign arrived in late 1999, when he deputised for an injured Steve Austin in a triple threat match with The Rock and champion Triple H. He would lose the belt back to HHH six weeks later after a feud with The Big Boss Man.

In 2002, Show implausibly became the man to end Brock Lesnar's undefeated streak, capturing the title back from "The Next Big Thing" with some help from Paul Heyman. Big Show merely served as a transitional champion, though, losing the belt to Kurt Angle so Angle could face Lesnar at WrestleMania.

A decade later, Show won the World Heavyweight championship twice - once in a reign that only lasted minutes before Daniel Bryan beat him, and then later from Sheamus, leading to a protracted feud between the two men.

Of these two reigns, the latter is actually the less memorable one, proving how little Show accomplished.
