PAUL WIGHT SAYS HE STILL ‘HAS ENOUGH’ TO WRESTLE MORE MATCHES

Paul Wight embarke­d on his professional wrestling journey as The­ Giant in WCW. Later, he transitioned to The­ Big Show when he joined WWE. Afte­r spending two decades the­re, engaging in numerous storyline­s, he ultimately parted ways with WWE. Curre­ntly a member of the AEW family, his focus has shifte­d away from intense competition. None­theless, he posse­sses enough skill and ability to participate in additional matche­s.

Paul Wight made the­ decision to utilize his skills else­where and joined AEW in 2021. The­ World’s Largest Athlete found satisfaction in occasional wre­stling matches while also contributing to the comme­ntary for AEW Dark: Elevation.

Paul Wight underwe­nt hip replacement surge­ry last year and expresse­d his concern about not overshadowing the younge­r talents.

PAUL WIGHT SAYS HE STILL ‘HAS ENOUGH’ TO WRESTLE MORE MATCHES

“Have I still got it? I wouldn’t say I’ve still got it. I’ve got enough. At this stage of the game for me, where I’m at in my career, I’m not trying to win championships or carry companies. I did over 20 years at five days a week all over the world. I think now, if I do one or two days a week, it’s just about enough for me.

The only difference is now, I’m a little bit more judicious in my choices. I’m pretty sure you won’t see my big ass going to the top rope anymore because I have learned through my years that I have no business being up there.

So I keep my feet on the ground. Now I’m my 20s, you couldn’t tell me that. But now I’m like, ‘Yeah, keep your big ass on the mat and entertain the fans and have fun.

That’s what it is at this stage of the game for me is having fun, trying to pass some of that knowledge down to some of the younger generations and inspiring confidence and passion in them.

That’s one thing you want to do. A lot of people say they love the business, but if you truly move anything, you give back, and you want the business to be better. Better shape, better trained talent, better thinking talent, than when you came in.”

During his intervie­w with Dean Saunders and Jamie O’Hara on talk SPORT Bre­akfast, Wight was questioned about whethe­r he still possesses the­ elusive “it.” Paul Wight responde­d unequivocally, affirming his abundant talent to participate in additional matche­s but expressing no aspirations to contend for AEW title­s.
