    When it comes to initial appearances in wrestling, size matters. Sure, some of the greatest talents of all time have been relatively smaller guys but it took them time to grab people’s attention, something you simply don’t have to worry about when you’re 7’ 1’. Yes; to see giants walking amongst us is still an experience that forces you to pay attention so it’s even luckier then when those giants happen to be incredibly talented and athletic. The Big Show is one of those men, huge in both stature and character, he has achieved more than almost any big man before him, however; his story comes with more than its fair share of up’s and downs, so; join us today as we take a deep dive into his fascinating entire career journey so far in; Larger Than Life: The Big Show Story.

    I met Paul Big Show when I was sat next to him on a business flass flight from Sydney to Melbourne, Australia. Pure gentleman and down to earth human. Spoke of the stress wrestling takes on the personal life, being on the road and missing his family, but also loved wrestling.
    And yes, I was very cramped in my seat next to this legendary human.

  • @thealjohnsonshow2188
    @thealjohnsonshow2188 Před 3 lety +375

    I know he's a giant, but I find Paul Wight (Big Show) to be criminally underrated.
    Yes, his face/heel turns are a running gag and him crying is a little funny, but he's been really reliable in anything the WWE asked of him (good or bad).
    I'm still surprised that he joined AEW though.

    • @nateculver7050
      @nateculver7050 Před 3 lety +60

      Finally someone gets it. Big Show is easily the most underrated characters. He was the ultimate utility player able to accommodate whomever was across the ring. A feud with Big Show gave a rookie a push. If a heel needed to show power and dominance or a face needed to get over, they won against Show. He was able to be an enormous monster flipping over cars and yet he can pull off a comedy gimmick. He catches a lot of crap, but when he's needed, he delivers.

    Big Show, man with a Big heart and WWE treated him like garbage.. he was so underrated that the other wrestlers made fun of him and humiliating him on multiple occasions on TV.. also he lost almost every big match in favor of his opponent and he was not complaining, just done his part.. he has a great actor skills and I'm really happy for him, that he switch to AEW.. hopefully this home would be better for him and finally they start to treat him like he deserve..

  • @phantomshtter

    I actually drove the big show from and back to the airport when I used to drive the Hilton shuttlevan. This was back in the early 2000s I believe when big show was clocking in right under 500 pounds. Let me just say that when you see him on TV amongst other giant men, it's nothing like being there in person as a regular dude next to this unimaginably massive life force. It was big show, chavo Guerrero and one other wrestler that I didn't recognize at the time. Chavo and the other guy got in the back of the Van and big show sat up front right next to me. when he got in the suspension sank as much or more than the other 2 guys entering combined. Seat slid back as far as possible of course and his chest when I looked over was probably 5" away from the dash.😐 His head is twice the size of some human's and his hands are as big as a normal sized male's head and probably weigh 3lbs each. Let me just say a presence like that right next to you is wild and unforgettable. Also big show was the only one who tipped me, he gave me $5 each time to and from the airport.

    What Big Show done in 2006 for the WWE was unbelivable.
    After RVD and Sabu fu*** up he became ECW Champion and pretty much tryed everything by himself for this ECW.
    At the same Time he replaced Khali at Smackdown's Great American Bash 2006, fought toghter with the McMahon's aginst DX in a Raw PPV. Then he had a Feud with John Cena and King Booker for Cypersunday and with RVD at ECW at the same Time. And then he was Captian at Survivor Series and showed up at Raw many Times, while at the same time let Lashley get over at ECW.
    All this in 5 Months. What a Legend for that run alone.

    IMHO: He's second to Andre for being a big man. Above everyone else. Also, I don't think he underachieved as much as people say. In WCW he had to take a back seat to the NWO, and when he went to WWE, he was coming from WCW so they didn't want to push him above the talent they already had. He also sold for whoever they told him to. Great loyalty. Many great performances and a top notch hall of famer for sure!
