WWE Bio

Reminiscent of such goliaths as Andre the Giant and Big John Studd, Big Show is a feared competitor who intimidates opponents with his size and stare alone. The World’s Largest Athlete’s measurements are astounding. He weighs 441 pounds, stands a mighty seven feet tall, wears a 22 EEEEE size shoe and boasts a 64-inch chest. It’s no surprise then that his in-ring debut left a crater-sized impression on the likes of Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair in WCW, where the young giant captured the WCW Championship on two occasions, along with the WCW Tag Team Championship. In 1999, Show emerged as a global star upon signing with WWE, where he collided with Superstars of great acclaim and captured a slew of titles, including the WWE Championship. From “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and The Rock to Undertaker and Triple H, there’s no top name in the business who hasn’t succumbed to the man’s battering ram of a fist. He’s even gone toe-to-toe with world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., who only managed to clean Show’s clock at WrestleMania XXIV with the aid of brass knuckles. On a lighter note, The World’s Largest Athlete happens to be the world’s largest fan of the Rat Pack. He’s also an expert auto mechanic and owns a 64-foot yacht dubbed “Showdaddie.” And unlike the giants before him, Big Show harbors a sense of humor, which he put on full display in WWE Studios’ 2010 theatrical release, “Knucklehead.” Yet make no mistake, Show, the first man to capture the WWE, WCW and ECW Championships, is still more proficient at delivering punches than punchlines. Just ask Mark Henry, who awoke the sleeping giant at 2011’s Vengeance. Big Show responded by unleashing a devastating half-ton superplex on Henry, which not only shook the ring to its core, it caused it to implode. Now that’s high impact.

Breakdown

Even before the name Big Show was born, Paul Wight was a beast in the ring. He’s got some notable differences in his move-set and abilities, but his attribute ratings are very similar. The big differences lie in his Tag Team Finisher move-set. Wight has four Tag Team Finishers with his corporate allies during the Attitude Era—Mr. McMahon, Shane McMahon, Ken Shamrock, and Big Boss Man each have a Finisher as Paul Wight’s partner. Even in his younger years, Paul Wight was not going to win too many foot races, but his 65 Speed is better. But, with 100 ratings in Grapple Power and Strike Power, who are you going to run from anyway?
