Then: 2000 was a weird year for Big Show. After being signed to a huge contract the prior year, he started to put on enough weight that the WWF demoted him to OVW that summer and demanded that he shift the pounds. He was the Rumble runner up in 2000.

Now: Paul Wight has worked hard to get himself in better shape even though he's never wrestled less. At 47, he regularly posts gym selfies on his Instagram account and talks about maybe wrestling another match or two whenever it suits both WWE and himself.
