20 WWE Superstars And Their 80s Counterparts

Is it possible to not compare The Big Show to the legendary Andre the Giant?

Both talents are genuine larger-than-life performers, and both gave off the aura of a special attraction. Sure, Big Show may have been forced down our throats for over a decade as he turned face, turned heel, turned face, lather, rinse, repeat… but he’s impressively mobile and good in the ring for somebody who’s 7 ft tall and weights well over 400lbs.

As for Andre, he’ll be forever revered as a true icon and legend of the wrestling business, although he was unquestionably not as talented in the ring as Paul Wight. Andre was more than that, though; he was a presence, a one-off, and a vastly-charismatic and loved/hated (delete as applicable depending on what his character was doing) figure who will always be held in the highest regard.
