Paul Donald Wight, Jr. (born February 8, 1972), better known by his ring name, (The) Big Show, is an American professional wrestler and actor, currently signed to WWE on its Raw brand.
In professional wrestling, Big Show is a five-time world champion, having won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship twice, the WWF/E Championship twice, and the ECW World Heavyweight Championship once, making him the first person ever to hold all three championships. In addition to these championships, he has also won the WWE United States Championship once, the World Tag Team Championship five times (twice with The Undertaker, once with Kane, once with Chris Jericho, and once with The Miz), the WWE Tag Team Championship three times (once each with Chris Jericho, The Miz, and Kane) and the WWF Hardcore Championship three times.Billed as "The World's Largest Athlete", The Big Show initially came to prominence through his career in the now defunct World Championship Wrestling (WCW) from 1995 until 1999, then known simply as The Giant. In addition to being a two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, and the youngest man to ever hold the title, he is a three-time WCW World Tag Team Champion and the winner of the 1996 World War 3. Between WWE and WCW, Wight has held 20 total championships.
Outside of professional wrestling, Wight has starred in feature films and television series such as The Waterboy and USA Network's comedy-drama Royal Pains. In 2010, he had his first major role in the comedy film Knucklehead, which was produced by WWE Studios. Wight has made it known that he would like continue his acting career and expand beyond roles based on his size.Paul Wight made his first appearance at Slamboree in 1995 as an unknown giant man during the main event of Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage versus Ric Flair and Vader. Wight debuted in WCW at The Great American Bash on June 18, 1995 as a plant during the match between Arn Anderson and The Renegade, who was accompanied by manager Jimmy Hart. Nearly a month later at a Main Event show, prior to Bash at the Beach, Wight interfered in an interview between Hulk Hogan and "Mean" Gene Okerlund. Wight introduced himself as The Giant, and claimed in the storyline to be the son of André the Giant and blaming Hulk Hogan for the death of his "father". The Giant joined the Dungeon of Doom, who were at war with Hogan and his allies, and immediately began a heated feud with Hogan. At Fall Brawl, after his team won a WarGames match, Hogan earned five minutes fighting the leader of the Dungeon of Doom, "The Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan, in the cage alone – at this point, Giant attacked Hogan, saving Sullivan.
On April 13, Big Show was drafted to the Raw brand as a part of the 2009 WWE Draft. At Backlash, Big Show interfered in a Last Man Standing match for the World Heavyweight Championship between Cena and Edge when he threw Cena into a spotlight, thus resulting in Edge winning the title and Cena being seriously injured.He continued to feud with John Cena, losing to him at Judgment Day by pinfall and at Extreme Rules by submission by Cena's submission known as the STF, before defeating Cena on the June 22 edition of Raw to end the feud.
Big Show was drafted to Raw as a part of the 2011 WWE Draft. He and Kane then started feuding with the New Nexus. After defending the titles against CM Punk and Mason Ryan at Over the Limit, Kane and Big Show lost their titles to Michael McGilligutty and David Otunga on the following day on Raw. After the match, Show was run over by Alberto Del Rio's car, driven by his ring announcer, and was sidelined with an injury for almost a month. He returned during a match between Kane and Del Rio, attacking Del Rio, who was saved by Rodriguez, but Big Show brutally attacked Rodriguez. It was determined that Show would face Del Rio at Capitol Punishment.On WWE.com, it is noted that Big Show suffered a substantial injury (a fractured fibula) when Mark Henry used the steel chair on his leg and came down from the turnbuckle, landing on his leg with it during the pay-per-view and is kept out of action. Mark Henry did the same thing to Kane and almost did it to Bobby Howard until Teddy Long interrupted and Sheamus made the save.
