Have to chuckle at their timing with clips/voiceovers.
Talking about big men having to adapt to hang with little men whilst showing Kane vs Triple H at Judgment Day 2001 for example.
Good show overall - was worried after the first few minutes of talking heads but turned out very good.
Special mention goes to earthquake, what a man!
Oh and add Byron Saxton to the Miz and Summer Rae society of perfectly delivered soundbites.

My favorite part of this so far was Bo Dallas learning that Kevin Nash was Super Shredder edit: also I half expected them to mention Vader being who Mick was wrestling when he lost his ear since they showed Vader vs. Cactus Jack a few times.

Love that Crash is on there. Wish Kane could have made it but that list is pretty great.

When Taker is finally ready to enter the HOF, they should do a big man class and induct these 8 guys (Andre and Yoko are already in), plus Kane. Maybe the Bossman too.

Cant really disagree with this list, everyone were either extremely prominent or extremely talented for thier size.

I feel like Kane should be on there. His first run, when he just destroyed people every week because the Undertaker wouldn't face him, was monster heel work at its absolute best. He was freakin' terrifying, and I still remember being horrified when he hit Vader with a (obviously rubber, on replays) wrench.
And Crash Holly was a 400lb super-heavyweight. He deserves a category all of his own.

The clip from TMNT 2 made me smile. I found out that Nash played Super Shredder in a 1996 issue of WWE Magazine.

I found it weird they didn't have Big E talk at all when King Kong Bundy came up.
Got a good laugh seeing the Kofi vignettes again

Every time I watch one of these shows one of the main things I always think is that oh my word Cody Rhodes needs to be part of the business way beyond his years competing. He just KNOWS. Wrestling in his veins man.
Loving all the new people commenting between clips on this new batch of episodes alot.

Yeah, was surprised they didn't interview Big E about King Kong Bundy. Kane should have been in this, but it's difficult to take anyone out of the list.

I could easily see Cody being a trainer or promoter someday, he's got a great mind for the business.

Just watched this show, and it's really cool seeing those old clips of Earthquake, Bundy and Yokozuna. Bundy had more charisma than I ever realised, so I'm a bit confused as to how he's faded in so many people's memories. I do enjoy seeing present day wrestlers reminiscing over their childhood wrestling heroes and villains.

Solid list. Solid show. I can't argue against the placement of any of these men. The old Honeycombs commercial with Andre was a pleasant surprise. Countdown is full of fun clips. They managed to sneak Oz into here.

I would've changed Taker and Andre around Why? Andre is the bigger star, drew the most (relatively) and is more known as being the quintessential big man worker.
