Wrestling legend Paul Wight reveals "pressure" he faced during previous stints – and why AEW offers a "more authentic" experience ...Middle East

News by : (Radio Times) -

The wrestling icon, formerly known worldwide as Big Show, is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling, where he works as both an in-ring competitor and commentator.

"I can't explain what it's like where I used to work, and the demands that were put on you – personally, professionally, the kind of pressure that was on you every day – it didn't matter if it was 3am in the morning, you get a phone call, you better have your wits about you – to having a guy that is very cool and very appreciative and very comforting in the way he lets his talent explore their own identities... like he's not micromanaging everything you do," Wight said.

Wight joined AEW in 2021 after more than two decades with WWE, where he became one of the most recognisable stars of his generation under the Big Show name.

"I think at first it was a little hard to swallow, because I was fighting all the time, I was in the trenches, I was on the road with the guys all the time," he explained.

However, Wight said he has now found peace with where he is in his career and is focused on helping AEW’s roster develop.

"What can I do now to be a part of the business, to contribute to my company and my talent and my fans? And I’m finding ways to do that."

"It’s not for me to tell you how to go do your character. That’s not what I’m here for. I’m not going to tell you that. We’re going to talk about the choices you made, why you made them, what you were thinking."

"Not everybody gets to be Ric Flair, not everybody gets to be Hulk Hogan, not everybody gets to be Kenny Omega... How do we get the best out of you?

But his advice to younger talent is to avoid getting too caught up in online noise. "Even with as much input as social media and all these things have now, I advise younger talent to pull a little back from that and stick to the nuts and bolts," he said. "Get it done between the ropes."

AEW All In: London 2026 will see AEW return to Wembley Stadium for another night of stadium-scale wrestling, following previous record-breaking events in the UK and US. Fans can expect high-impact action, dramatic title clashes, unpredictable brawls and a star-studded card, after past All In events delivered unforgettable moments involving the likes of Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Mercedes Moné and Swerve Strickland.
