Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather (WWE WrestleMania - 3/30/2008)
Easily the best celebrity match ever and one of the smartest matches in history. I feel like only Matt D should talk about this. Awesome match that I love. Something I need to think about.

Second
I am seconding this because I like the idea of it being considered, but it doesn't have a shot at my list. I actually think it is a huge line on Big Show's resume and that dude is generally underrated. It is really smart and really well planned out. It made the mot of both men and gave everyone what they wanted at Mania, but with only 100 spots, I won't find room for it myself.

Unbelievable spectacle vibe as the match unfolds. Both guys play their roles to a tee. Big Show deserves credit for helping get the match over to this degree. And it is a legitimately great story and match with real drama.

I watched the PPV in 2008 and didn't think much of it. I heard the rave reviews and I was shocked. I procrastinated for a while but when I finally watched it again. Lo and behold, it was great! Won't make my list but it was great! I do recommend it!
Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather - WrestleMania XXIV
It is too bad that Mayweather does not do wrestling full time. He would be an amazing heel, which may be the most obvious thing ever said. He has great facial expressions. He does a great job vacillating between concerned and confident in the beginning. The size differential is staggering. Mayweather's confidence grows as he gets in some body shots and then a couple head shots. It is funny seeing Mayweather have to reach so high up to punch Big Show in the face. Mayweather drinks from a chalice. Big Show is pissed. He takes out one of Mayweather's goons. The fear is re-instilled in Mayweather. When Big Show stomps the hand of Money Mayweather, the selling from Mayweather is awesome. It was such a smart first offensive spot from Big Show. Mayweather TOOK THE OVERHEAD SLAP! WOW! Mayweather is writhing in pain. I have not watched this match since it happened ten years ago. Show Stands on him. Mayweather takes a side slam! WOW! Show big elbow drop. The crowd is super into this. Mayweather's entourage pulls him out and wants to walk out. Show chases and trucks an entourage member. Now Show brings Mayweather back in. Show drops another goon with a chokeslam, but that goon brought in a chair. Mayweather goes to town with the chair and cracks him in the head twice unprotected. Then he gets some brass knuckled and KO shot drops the Big Show. Great way to put over the heel celebrity but protect Big Show. People loved seeing Mayweather gets his ass kicked because we never see that in his shoot matches. It was cathartic. Great finish, awesome action movie spectacle. ****
