Paul Wight is one of wrestling’s definitive giants, combining enormous size (7 feet tall and weighing over 380 lbs) with surprising athleticism, particularly early in his career, where he executed dropkicks and even top‑rope offense.
As The Giant in WCW, he was immediately pushed into the main event, feuding with Hulk Hogan, winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship twice, and working at the center of the nWo‑WCW storyline.
In 1999, he joined the WWF during the Attitude Era. He was rebranded as Big Show, and quickly became a multi‑time world champion and major attraction, later becoming the only wrestler to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, WWF/WWE Championship, World Heavyweight Championship, and ECW World Heavyweight Championship.
Over more than two decades, he also captured the Intercontinental, United States, Hardcore, and multiple tag team titles, cementing his status as a Triple Crown and Grand Slam winner in WWE before transitioning to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) for commentary and occasional matches in 2021.
