Paul Wight, The Big Show


Paul Randall Wight was born February 8, 1972 in Tampa Bay, Florida.
He is better known by his wrestling name, The Big Show.
Heis an American pro wrestler and actor, currently signed to WWE, wrestling on its SmackDown brand.
He is also known for his career in WCW, where he wrestled under the name The Giant from June 1995 to December 1998.
He is the only man in the history of wrestling to win the WWE Championship, WCW World Heavyweight Championship and the ECW World Championship, even though his ECW Title win was after the company was bought out by the WWE.

Like Andre the Giant, Big Show has acromegaly, a disease of the Endocrine System. Thankfully he underwent successful surgery in the early 1990s on his pituitary gland which halted the progress of this condition.
Big Show is billed as 7 feet tall and 441 pounds.
TWNP News has him listed at 7'1" and 400 pounds.
CelebHeights.com has him listed at 7 even.
Growtall.com has him listed as 7'2".
Either way...hes big!

Big Show has appeared in several movies, but my favorite appearance was in The Waterboy as Captain Insano.
