Every WCW Heavyweight Champion: Where Are They Now?

Incredibly, 25 years after competing for a World Championship in his very first match with WCW in 1995, Paul Wight competed for a World Championship in his last match with WWE in 2020. Now, it's only his latest outing as of writing, but it's an incredible bookend that very few, if any, other wrestlers could ever claim to hold in their career.

Based off that, the answer to 'where are they know?' for Paul Wight would appear to be, well, in the exact same position! Fighting for a World Title. But of course it's not so simple, and Show has a much more in-depth career laid out after decades in the ring.

His four years in WCW saw him hold the gold on two occasions, before jumping to the WWF for a long and storied two-decade career that continues to this day. He's pretty much done it all with the biggest promotion on the planet, winning four World Titles (five if you count the WWECW belt), the Hardcore, United States, Intercontinental, as well as both the WWE and World Tag Team gold for a combined 18 Championship reigns.

These days he's currently balancing an on-again-off-again on-screen presence, most recently battling Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship on the Raw after WrestleMania 36, while also starring in his own TV series titled The Big Show Show. Get it, because it's a show... about the Big Show. A Big Show Show.
