10 Precise Moments When WCW Careers Ended

10. The Giant

Vince McMahon must've been licking his lips when news spread that The Giant was leaving WCW in February 1999. The WWF overseer could've been forgiven for thinking that he had a new Andre on his hands; those idiots in Atlanta couldn't book the monster properly, but he would.

That wasn't strictly true, but anything had to be better for Paul Wight than his miserable experience on the 11 January Nitro. There, he looked on in horror as Hollywood Hogan said there could only be one giant in the nWo. Hulk booked Giant vs. Kevin Nash, the latter won, and then the Order crew pasted Wight.

It was just another example of WCW's rushed booking style.

Above, you can see Giant on his back taking a taser shot from Scott Hall. That was only part of the humiliation, but it stands out because Paul could barely be bothered to sell the shock before heading through the exit doors.
