Paul Donald Wight, Jr. (born February 8, 1972), better known by his ring name, (The) Big Show, is an American professional wrestler and part-time actor, currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on its SmackDown brand.

In professional wrestling, Big Show is a five-time world champion, having won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship twice, the WWF/E Championship twice, and the ECW World Heavyweight Championship once, making him the only person ever to hold all three championships. In addition to these championships, he has also won the United States Championship once, the World Tag Team Championship five times (twice with The Undertaker, once with Kane, once with Chris Jericho, and once with The Miz), the WWE Tag Team Championship twice (with Chris Jericho once and The Miz once) and the Hardcore Championship three times.

Billed as "The World's Largest Athlete", The Big Show initially came to prominence through his career in the now defunct World Championship Wrestling (WCW) from 1995 until 1999, then known simply as The Giant. In addition to being a two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, and the youngest man to ever hold the title, he is a three-time WCW World Tag Team Champion and the winner of the 1996 World War 3. Outside of professional wrestling, Wight has starred in feature films and television series' such as The Waterboy and USA Network's comedy-drama Royal Pains.
