10 Biggest Career Transformations In WWE History

10. Big Show - From Unstoppable Monster To Tearful Jobber

When ‘Big Show’ Paul Wight debuted with WWE, it looked like he was going to be another incarnation of Andre the Giant: a slow-moving behemoth of a human being whose unique size would make him a draw regardless of his wrestling abilities.

However, Vince didn’t portray him as an intimidating, unstoppable force for long. While he was presented this way during the first few years of his career, and then during random periods later on, it wasn’t long before Mr. McMahon was convinced to turn Big Show into a big buffoon.

Before he knew it, Show became a sort of comedy character who did impressions of people and was generally the butt of fat jokes (example: Goldust walking in on a sleeping Big Show, who mutters ‘cheeseburger’ in his sleep).

This stemmed from Show’s own alleged laziness, and instead of being an athletic big man like his mentor the Undertaker, Show’s reputation as an intimidating force soon disappeared.

But the nadir of his booking came more recently, as Show has taken on the persona of a ‘gentle giant’, who cries when those around him suffer pain. Worse yet, he tends to lose much more often than he should, given his stature and longevity with WWE. 

Simply put, Show now looks like an even bigger buffoon who’s more likely to start crying than Chokeslamming his opponents like he should be.
