We've seen less and less of The Big Show over the past couple of years, and there's a good reason for that - the former WWE Champion, who just turned 45, is winding down his career in the ring. He's already stated in interviews that he plans to retire later in 2017, and there's no reason to think it won't happen.

That said, The Big Show has also been training for the most high-profile match he's had in years - a one-on-one WrestleMania contest with Shaquille O'Neal. Big Show has been logging in time at the gym to get in fighting shape, knowing that the eyes of the world will be upon him.

After WrestleMania, though, there's really nothing left for The Big Show. He doesn't need to keep popping up from time to time on TV, or do a house show run where he punches Bo Dallas in the face in city after city.

WrestleMania could very well be the end of the line for Big Show - his very last pro match.
