Paul Wight Says He Has Years Left In His Pro Wrestling Career

Paul Wight was known as The Big Show in WWE decades, and he was The Giant in WCW before then. The big man hasn’t wrestled for Tony Khan’s company in a while, but he is a long way away from hanging up his boots for good.

Although Paul Wight hasn’t wrestled much for AEW, he does appear on commentary. That being said, there are still a few opponents on AEW’s roster that might end up in his legendary chokeslam from time to time.

While appearing on Deuce and Mo, Paul Wight confirmed that he has “years” left in the pro wrestling ring. He is also currently training hard to make sure that his career has that longevity.

“Working hard, training hard to get back in the ring, which will hopefully happen real soon. I’ve had a hip replacement and just got a knee replacement done in August, which sounds like the end of an athlete’s career, but modern technology, I’ll tell you, I feel better joint-wise than I’ve felt the past 15 years.”

“Now, it’s about getting the muscle stronger and having a bit more fun. I have a couple years left in AEW, for sure, signed a nice healthy contract when I came over and I plan on making good on that contract in AEW for Tony Khan and myself,” 

Once considered a “lifer” in WWE, Paul Wight bid Vince McMahon’s company farewell and surprised the pro wrestling world when he showed up in AEW. After announcing the debut of AEW Dark Elevation, Paul Wight was off to the races in All Elite Wrestling.

We’ll have to see what’s next for Paul Wight. He obviously has a lot of things he could accomplish in AEW, but he also has to make sure that he is physically up to it.
