    Angry Big Show Signs With AEW As Wrestler, Commentator & Ambassador


    In a “giant” move likely to send ripples through the wrestling world, “Big Show” Paul Wight has signed with AEW. The 49-year-old had been with WWE since leaving WCW and signing there in 1999.

    In addition to returning to the ring, AEW is stating Wight will also serve as a commentator on the new YouTube show, AEW Dark: Elevation.

    Big Show commented on the blockbuster news, noting that it’s been “amazing” to see what AEW has built in just a couple of years. He’s excited for his new role as commentator for AEW’s newest series, AEW Dark: Elevation.

    “AEW Dark is an incredible platform to hone the skills of up-and-coming wrestlers, but I also love that established AEW talent can build out their personalities and showcase themselves in new ways on Dark,” said White. “It’s no exaggeration when they say that AEW is boundless.”

    Tony Khan, AEW’s President and Head of Creative, also commented on the news of Big Show’s signing. He touted White’s experience and detailed what his multiple roles will entail.

    “Paul Wight is one of the most recognizable and impressive professional athletes in the world,” said Khan. “He wanted to come to AEW because he believes that we’re the best promotion in wrestling, and we believe that he has a lot to offer us, both in the ring as a wrestler, and also outside the ring as a commentator, host and ambassador for AEW.”

    “Paul is one of the most experienced stars in all of wrestling, and he’s eager to work with our diverse roster,” added Khan.

    Tony Khan added that Big Show joins AEW as a licensed wrestler.

    “He can benefit and guide our young talent with his mentorship, and his expert commentary on AEW Dark: Elevation will educate and entertain our fans, and also educate the younger wrestlers on the roster. Furthermore, Paul enters AEW as a licensed wrestler, and he’s very much looking forward to studying our talent firsthand from the commentary desk in preparation for his return to the ring!”

    Big Show sadly is one of those wrestlers who never got the chance to shine amoungst the big ones. Despite him being so big, he manage to move around better than most big guys.

    Sadly his character and image has been destroyed years ago. As a wrestler he's not believable anymore. As a ambassador on the other hand, he could be good for business.

    I remember when Show won the WWE Title in 2002 from Lesnar before losing it a month later to Kurt Angle - It was a very odd booking decision at the time and completely destroyed Show's credibility. WWE should have simply given Kurt the belt from Brock, if they were looking to go down the Lesnar/Kurt route at Mania, rather than do hotshot booking and ruin Show, and Paul Heyman's, character at the same time.
