Paul Wight became a wrestler following a chance encounter with actor Danny Bonnaduce, who introduced him to Hulk Hogan. Introduced as Andre the Giant’s son in WCW, Wight won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in his first match against Hogan, and later became an integral part of the WCW vs. nWo storyline. He joined WWE in 1999 and would win the first of several WWE Championships in November of that year. After working on and off for WWE for over 20 years, he departed the promotion to join All Elite Wrestling in February of 2021, where he now works as a part time wrestler and color commentator.
