Creating the All-Star Survivor Series Elimination Match

Big Show

(7 appearances, 4 wins, 11 eliminations)

When you need a dominant heavy-hitter on your team, you could do much worse than pick up the Big Show as a team member. His first performance in 1999 shows what he can bring to the party, as he eliminated an entire team of four on his own, and still had enough left in the tank to become WWE Champion by the night’s end. The Big Show is a giant, a monster and a wrecking ball with a fist of steel. His presence already gets in the heads of his opponents, and despite often being portrayed as a comedic or jovial figure, at the snap of the fingers he can eliminate anybody at anytime, which is exactly what you want.

In the vast majority of his Survivor Series appearances he has been at the back end of eliminations or a fully-fledged survivor. His size, power and underrated technique make him an imposing figure for any opponent that dare steps in the ring with him, and even harder to take out. Big Show makes huge men look small, and could make up a team on his own due to his size and experience, and has only ever been taken out when on the receiving end of the numbers game these matches promote. Even beyond the traditional matches, Survivor Series has become a spiritual home for the giant, as he won both his WWE titles at the event and has competed in as many world title matches on the card than just about anybody else.
