Big men's careers are normally short-lived. That is not the case with Big Show. Paul Wight debuted in 1995 for WCW as The Giant and was billed as the son of Andre the Giant, for about 5 minutes, before WCW realized how ridiculous it was.

Wight had a strange career in WWE, when you look at how other big men have been booked. Big Show would flip flop between heel and babyface at an alarming rate. It seemed that every few months Big Show would turn on someone, so much so that it's one thing the internet still talks about today.

Big Show was also used in many different ways during his career. He went from being a tag team wrestler to being a comedy act, and even fought Floyd Mayweather at WrestleMania XXIV.

But because of his ability to connect with the fans, despite all the changes he's gone through, Wight has had one of the most successful 'big men' careers in the WWE. He's a 2-time WWE Champion, a 2-time World Heavyweight Champion, and a 5-time WWE Tag Team Champion. Wight is a triple crown champion, and a grand slam champion in the WWE, and won the second Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 31.
