Ranking Big Show's WrestleMania Matches - From Worst To Best

5. Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal - WrestleMania 30

WWE.com
The entire premise of the inaugural Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal centered around Big Show establishing his legacy as the greatest giant in wrestling history and doing so by winning the match named after his greatest competition to that title. He was built up solidly in the weeks leading into the match, almost to the point that everyone knew he would not win because it would be way too obvious. But if not him, which Superstar would be strong enough to toss him over the top rope and to the arena floor? Could it be Sheamus? Maybe former world champions Dolph Ziggler or Alberto Del Rio would be elusive enough to let Show make a mistake and stumble over on his own? Fans got their answer as Cesaro entered unannounced and scored his greatest win to that point, lifting Big Show over his head and bodyslamming him over the top rope for the win. It was shades of Hulk Hogan slamming Andre in one of the most memorable moments in event history, some 27 years earlier, and completely fit the theme of the match. More importantly, it created a buzz about the Swiss Superstar that, even for one night, helped establish him as a singles star unlike any other push had to that point.
