AEW‘s Paul Wight has made significant progress in his weight loss journey.
AEW star Paul Wight (FKA Big Show in WWE) shared a fitness update back in February, saying he weighed 393 lbs and that he’s looking to bring it down to 360 lbs. Now, he has taken to Instagram to show off his amazing physical transformation and noted that he’s grateful to be able to push himself this hard even after undergoing 11 surgeries over the years.
“Starting to see real results. Today is better than yesterday. I’m on my way to being a super model! Jokes aside grateful to be able to push myself this hard after 11 surgeries,” Paul Wight wrote.
Paul Wight recently detailed what he wants to do with his remaining years under AEW contract. He stated that if he were to compete again, his main focus would center on controlling what he can: his weight and conditioning. While he performed at a weight closer to 500 lbs for most of his career, he believes he’d do better weighing 350 lbs in the future. It appears he’s getting close to that goal, and it will be interesting to see if he’d return to the ring one last time.
Paul Wight reveals two AEW Stars he wants to face before retirement
During his recent conversation with Sporf’s James Sweetnam, Paul Wight named Kenny Omega and Darby Allin as the two AEW wrestlers he’d like to face before his retirement.
“I have two people in AEW that I would love to work with or against. One is Kenny Omega… I would love to see something like that happen before I retire. I would also like to do the same with Darby. I love Darby.
“I think Darby is – no pun intended – tougher than a coffin nail. He’s a tough kid, he’s a good kid, he works hard, his heart is in the right place. I think he’s a little bit fearless with some of the stuff he does, I want to pull him aside like ‘Hey man, hit the brakes a little bit.’ But they’re young, they’re going to go wide open, and I respect Darby for that,” Paul Wight said.
“I would love to be a bad guy and wrestle Darby. I think we could really get a lot of visceral emotion from the crowd, to see a big giant sling Darby’s guts all over the place and then of course we’d have Darby hit me with a couple of coffin drops, roll me in a casket, and that’s the end of it. That would be fun,” Paul Wight added [H/T: Wrestletalk]
