Stamina: Superhuman (Had a 19:46 Last Man Standing match against Roman Reigns. Had a 20:15 match against Sheamus. Had matches with John Cena that lasted 19:22, 19:07, and 20:01. Had a TLC match against D-Generation X for the Unified Tag Team Titles that lasted 22:50. Had a 19:25 Last Man Standing match against The Undertaker. Was speared through the barricade and the announce table and was able to respond to the 10 count. Survived a 5-story fall and came back later with no visible damage. Kicked out of Sheamus' Brogue Kick. Sheamus’ Brogue Kick has an impact of 1322 PSI. A referee suffered chronic neck pain when hit with the move. The Brogue Kick was stated to cause extreme nerve damage and tingling in the extremities of the victim. Even a top tier talent such as Christian has stated that since he got hit with the Brogue Kick last year, he hasn’t been the same since, and the nerve damage it caused forced him to get shoulder surgery. A visual demonstration of the effects of The Brogue Kick are proof that the move causes Reversal of Cervical Lordosis, which is a fairly common health issue. Despite the Brogue Kick being this damaging, Big Show kicked out of it and continued fighting. In his Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match with JBL, Big Show was thrown face first into the steel support beam of the steel cell, which busted him open, choked out with a tag rope, a shot to the head with bolt cutters and a Clothesline from Hell right after, a low blow and a boot to his open wound, yet he kicked out and continued fighting)
