Paul Wight
In a world where giants are mythical creatures, one man stands tall among them - literally. Paul Wight, better known by his ring names Big Show, Giant, and Paul Bunyan, is a force to be reckoned with in the world of professional wrestling.
Hailing from Aiken, South Carolina, this 7-foot-tall powerhouse has been dominating the sport since the early 1990s. Weighing in at an astonishing 383 pounds, Big Show's presence is felt long before he even steps into the ring. His imposing frame and thunderous entrance music set the tone for what promises to be a battle of epic proportions.
Big Show's wrestling style is as brutal as it is beautiful. He is a powerhouse, capable of delivering crushing blows that can leave his opponents reeling. And when the dust settles, he seals the deal with one of his signature moves - the Chokeslam, Colossal Clutch, Cobra Clutch Backbreaker, or W.M.D.
As a singles wrestler and color commentator, Big Show has been an integral part of several prominent promotions throughout his career. Today, he can be found in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he continues to leave an indelible mark on the sport.
But Big Show is more than just a force of nature in the ring. He is also a proud athlete with a passion for basketball - a fact that often gets overlooked in his pursuit of wrestling greatness. Despite this, he remains one of the most beloved and respected figures in the world of professional wrestling.
And so, we salute the Big Nasty Bastard, The World's Largest Athlete - Paul Wight, aka Big Show, aka Giant, aka Paul Bunyan. A true giant among men, with a career that will be remembered for generations to come.
