AEW Should Use Paul "The Big Show" Wight On Screen More


When Paul Wight, formerly known as the Big Show in WWE, made his shocking debut in AEW, it sent shockwaves through the wrestling world. The arrival of such a colossal and experienced talent was a significant coup for AEW. While Wight's initial appearances have been exciting, there's a strong case to be made for AEW to utilize him even more. In this blog, we'll explore why AEW should maximize the potential of the "Giant" in their ranks.


Paul Wight is a living legend in professional wrestling. With a career spanning over two decades, he's faced and defeated some of the biggest names in the industry. AEW can tap into this vast wealth of experience, not just in the ring but also behind the scenes. Wight's knowledge and expertise can be invaluable in nurturing young talent and helping them grow into bona fide superstars.


Wight's sheer size and physical presence make him stand out in any wrestling roster. His stature alone commands attention and creates unique storytelling opportunities. Utilizing him in well-crafted storylines and matches can add variety and excitement to AEW's programming.


Wight's arrival in AEW opened the door to fresh and intriguing feuds. His ongoing rivalry with QT Marshall and the Factory is just the tip of the iceberg. There are countless potential opponents within AEW's ranks who could provide compelling matches and storylines against the "Giant." The prospect of Wight taking on young, hungry talent or revisiting old rivalries from his storied career is tantalizing.





AEW has wisely employed Paul Wight as a commentator for its "Dark: Elevation" show. His insight, charisma, and wit have added a new layer of excitement to the commentary booth. Expanding his role in this capacity, perhaps on other AEW programming, can enhance the overall viewing experience for fans.


While Wight may not wrestle full-time, having him make special in-ring appearances for major events or as a surprise entrant in battle royals can generate instant excitement and draw attention. These sporadic appearances can be used strategically to elevate storylines or provide a nostalgia pop for fans.


Paul Wight's experience and knowledge of the wrestling business can be invaluable in nurturing AEW's up-and-coming talent. Becoming a mentor or coach to the younger generation of wrestlers can help them develop their skills, both in the ring and on the mic. This mentorship role can contribute to the long-term growth of AEW's roster.





Paul Wight's addition to AEW is a significant asset, not just because of his name recognition but also because of the wealth of experience and talent he brings to the table. Utilizing him more effectively can enhance AEW's storytelling, offer fresh feuds and matches, and provide a valuable mentorship resource for emerging talent.

As AEW continues to grow and evolve, incorporating Paul Wight more prominently into their programming is a step that can benefit the promotion in multiple ways. The "Giant" has the potential to be a game-changer for AEW, and fans are eager to see how he will be further integrated into the company's future plans.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

     Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving  WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years.       How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent

The State of Professional Wrestling - 11-29-21

     I have a lot of thoughts on the state of professional wrestling in 2021. I think it’s great that AEW is around now and that they’re presenting a great product. I think WWE has the potential not be really boring but I think the consensus is that most of the time it’s just a really boring show. I cannot tell you the last time I sat through a 3 hour Raw. Oh wait, yes I can. September, 9th, 2013 and that’s only because I was at the damn show.       WWE has a problem with stagnation. The product continually feels the same and I think there’s an obvious reason for that. WWE is too scripted. I think there’s a noticeable difference in the presentation between WWE and AEW. AEW feels like a legitimate sports show and WWE feels like broadway theatre without the music. I don’t think it’s a problem with the talent. When you go top-down, guys like Roman Reigns, Big E, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Finn Balor, Jeff Hardy and Kevin Owens are all main event players.

PWInsider additionally reported that The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate) and Anthony Henry have also been released.   We have word on several All Elite Wrestling releases.
