On top of that, the 48-year-old has to cope when his eldest daughter is forced to move back in with him, his wife, and his two younger children.

The World's Largest Athlete has already proved his comedic chops to the WWE universe during his stellar 20-year career.

However, fans have also been delighted to watch the friendly giant's softer side in the family-friendly show and took to social media to rave about the series.

One tweeted: "RT if you watched all 8 episodes of The Big Show Show in one day."

Another said: "I hope Big show has an iron clad contract with Netflix cuz I want 67 more seasons."

A third added: "The Big Show on Netflix is actually really good, even tho it’s a lil cheesy."

Big Show's Netflix comedy also features guest appearances from his WWE family in Mark Henry, Rikishi, and Mick Foley.

And the former world champion revealed that they were all chosen because they're also fathers.

He told Digital Spy: "What I wanted for our show were guys that were kind of my age, had my experiences, that are also great dads in real life.

"Mark Henry is an amazing dad, Mick Foley's an amazing dad, Rikishi's an amazing dad. So that kind of powerhouse, big monster wrestler and then in their real lives, they're very caring, loving dads.
