There is a school of thought in wrestling for the big men that “you have to work like a giant.” A lot of “fee-fi-fo-fumming” lumbering and stumbling around. Don’t ever leave your feet or bend down to one knee. That way, when the smaller opponents eventually knock them down, it’s as if they pulled off the impossible.

But when all the giants are doing moves that make them look like mere mortals, that’s when wrestlers pushed as mythical beasts become human. Seldom leaving your feet is one thing but making it part of your move set is another.

10 The Giant’s Drop Kick

The Big Show Missile Dropkick

When he was just starting out in WCW, Paul Wight was young and spry. As spry as any seven foot four, 400 pounder could be. The Giant was known for not only pulling off dropkicks, but even nip ups and even dropkicks from the top rope too!

When you have the frame of a giant, doing moves like that on a fairly consistent basis would have a terrible effect on his career. He eventually realized that he didn’t have to do anything so spectacular to be considered a phenom.

9 Undertaker’s "Flying Cow"

Comically referred to by Bruce Prichard, as The Flying Cow when The Undertaker takes flight, it’s a pretty awesome sight to see.

Especially pulling it off during an Inferno Match, through the flames. He would eventually try to pull it off in a huge way against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 25, but when the Cameraman wasn’t there to catch him correctly, he landed right on his head and nearly lost everything, much less The Streak itself.

8 Kane’s Clothesline

Much like his older brother, Kane also was able to take to the skies during many of his matches. Even more than The Deadman, Kane would make The Flying Clothesline a huge part of his repertoire.

But the move just never looked quite right when a near seven-foot future mayor would pull it off. However, the very fact that such a big man could pull the move off was an achievement in and of itself.

7 Vader’s Moonsault

Vader Moonsault

Big Van Vader was a once in a lifetime, generational performer. He was and still is widely regarded as the best big man in the history of the sport. Even for a Kayfabe sport, there were people scared of being in the ring with the hard hitting mastodon.

The big moonsault however wasn’t always necessary, but he practically pulled it out of his arsenal every single night.

6 Viscera’s Spinning Heel Kick

Mabel Enziguiri

It’s easy to give Mabel / Viscera a bad rap. The guy was within inches of being booked to beat Diesel, caved in the Deadman’s face, and according to one famous dirt sheet writer, he might have been the third man of the nWo. In the ring, he did for the most part work like a big man should work.

But he also was able to pull off a nasty spinning heel kick that if ever done incorrectly meant over 500 pounds severely hurting you.

5 Samoa Joe’s Suicide Dive

Heading to the outside of the ring is one of those types of moves that fans just go with. Despite both men in the ring trying to win their match, sometimes the action can spill out to the floor.

It’s even more absurd when one guy is waiting just to catch the other guy. Samoa Joe pulling out a Suicide Dive must be a terrifying sight for his opponents.

4 Bam Bam Bigelow’s Cartwheels

Another big man capable of moving around like a lightweight was Bam Bam Bigelow. Similar to Vader, the man had a huge moonsault. But one of the moves that helped to make Bammer actually look smaller was early in his careers.

The flame tattooed Bigelow would do cartwheels around the ring to either show off or avoid bigger opponents.

3 Keith Lee’s Corkscrew Plancha

While Keith Lee claims he is limitless and certainly the fans are inclined to agree with him. But he does have limitations. For one, like many he was unable what in the blue hell Vince McMahon wanted with The Bearcat.

But in all honesty his ability to get and over the ropes for a Corkscrew Plancha looks awfully risky and dangerous. Half of the time the apron breaks his fall. The other half of the time a crowd of wrestlers pretending to stumble around waiting to catch the big man looked silly.

2 Rikishi’s Frog Splash Off The Cage

In a war for the Intercontinental title, Rikishi took on Val Venis in a steel cage match on Raw. Like many big matches at the time, fans were conditioned to expect the big spots, and they don’t get much bigger than this.

Papa Uce climbed to the tippy top of the cage and landed the biggest Buffalo Frog Splash fans had ever seen. Thankfully, Rikishi learned his lesson and never pulled that one off again.

1 Brock Lesnar’s Shooting Star Press

Of course, it would take a premier athlete like Brock Lesnar landing his 290-plus frame fright on his neck to stop doing The Shooting Star Press. All throughout his developmental training, The Beast pulled off one of the biggest Shooting Stars as part of his move set. Eventually Lesnar was advised that there was really no need for a man his size to do that move, but at WrestleMania 19, he wanted to finish his main event with something special.

When he headed to the top at WrestleMania 19, Kurt Angle has halfway across the ring. Lesnar landed hard and a lesser man might have been crippled if not dead. Brock hasn't attempted the move since and there really is no need for him to ever ascend the top rope again.
