“He was an attraction. He was our Andre, that was the intended direction to go in. But I didn’t think we did an overall start-to-finish great job and how we utilized The Big Show,” said the Hall of Famer. 

He further went on to add, “we didn’t keep him special, we didn’t keep him unique, and I thought that was a big mistake at the end of the day.” According to him, there was a lot of ‘overuse’ and especially the concept did not appear to be unique. Regardless, Paul Wight was still able to build a reputable career for himself.

What is The Big Show up to now?

Paul Wight eventually left WWE for AEW leaving his legacy behind. When fans thought he might never wrestle again, he returned to AEW to prove everybody wrong.

The excitement of fans, however, was short-lived, as he had to take a step back. While he stayed in commentary, he has not been able to perform since a serious surgery.

However, there are numerous reports that the giant wrestler is yet again planning to make a return to in-ring action. This news is sure to excite all the fans.
