WWE star Big Show recently revealed on an episode of Jim Norton and Sam Roberts’ podcast that WrestleMania 33 will be his last. Big Show has been a larger-than-life figure in wrestling for years, looked at often as the second-coming of Andre the Giant.

WrestleMania is known as The Grandest Stage of Them All, providing pivotal moments in wrestling history for over 30 years now. It will be the best place to say goodbye to the wrestling world.

Show had been wrestling since 1995 when he started wrestling for WCW as The Giant. He soon started a feud with Hulk Hogan and has won many titles in his long career, including the WCW World Heavyweight Championship twice, the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship twice each in WWE.

He is the 24th WWE Triple Crown Champion (winning a world title, tag team title and secondary titles of one promotion) and the 12th WWE Grand Slam Champion (winning the WWE, WWE Tag Team, Intercontinental and United States titles in the current format).

Now, Show’s final WrestleMania bout will be in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, however, he would have preferred a showdown with Shaquille O’Neal, trying to coax the four-time NBA champion to step into the squared circle with him at WrestleMania. The plans have apparently fallen through, so he won’t get the swan song he wanted.

Big Show who would be competing in the Battle Royal weeks before WrestleMania 33, also said that he has less than a year left in the WWE.
