35 Years Of WWE WrestleMania Mistakes

15. WrestleMania 21 - Big Show In A Mawashi

WWE.com

Watching The Big Show wrestle is generally a horrendous sight. However, it pales in comparison to the thought of witnessing the giant stripped down to nothing but what is essentially a thong.

Lamentably, somebody at WWE thought there was money in the idea, as viewers were subjected to the spectacle of The Big Show decked out in a mawashi for his inexplicable 'sumo' bout against the behemoth Akebono.

At least it was brief.

It took just a minute before the experienced rikishi flung 'The World's Largest Athlete' outside the ring. Akebono was never seen in the company again, and The Big Show was left looking like a loser. The only long-lasting outcome from the contest were the mental scars singed on the mind by The Big Show's disturbingly revealing attire.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
