A rare early-2000s moment captured: Adrian Street, Miss Linda, The Undertaker, Big Show, and Vince McMahon all posing together in one frame.
Seeing this photo really drives home what an absolute force The Big Show was a true giant who stood out even among legends.
It’s hard not to feel that WWE’s years of constant face-and-heel turns diluted his impact. That inconsistency makes his move to AEW easier to understand. Watching today’s wrestling landscape, it’s clear AEW often places greater emphasis on honoring veteran talent names like Matt Hardy, Ric Flair, Christian, Big Show, Mark Henry, and Sting are treated with legacy in mind.
It’s unfortunate when veterans don’t receive the respect they’ve earned, leading them to move on or be let go. Wrestling history deserves better stewardship.
