9. The Big Show
With hands celebrated as being the size of dinner plates, it probably isn’t a surprise that The Big Show has injured a wrestler or two in his day. The reality is, he’s only hurt a small number of workers considering what his size implies he may be capable of, although at least one of his mistakes was high profile enough to earn him a mention on this list.
Show was working with Brock Lesnar in late 2002, during the tail end of Lesnar’s first WWE World Championship run, and in fact it was the world’s largest athlete who defeated Lesnar for the title.
The switch came only a few short weeks after Show allegedly injured Lesnar at a house show, although the full story surrounding the injury was unclear. Lesnar wasn’t out of action long, and the injury barely affected his rise to fame, thus allowing this incident to slide under the radar.
Also, despite how important this particular injury could have been were it any worse, it’s fair to point out Show was only responsible for one such scare in his more than 20 years in the WWE.
