Then: 21 January 2001 was a big night for the Big Show.

This was the giant's grand return after being demoted to OVW and instructed to lose some weight the prior year. Despite hardly looking much different (something Jim Ross said on his pod was disappointing), Show did get to chokeslam The Rock through the announce table at ringside.

Now: Show has finally shed the pounds and is in terrific nick for his age. He still shows up on WWE TV too, and recently worked some scenes with Randy Orton. Before that, the legend was first up to challenge new WWE Champ Drew McIntyre following his win at 'Mania 36.

He's not done yet.
