Paul Wight Face/Heel Turns
 

I am going to try to list all of the Big Show/Giant/Paul Wight face and heel turns in his WCW and WWE career. I don't think there's any wrestler that has turned face or heel as much as him. Please feel free to correct me on these or add some in that I may have missed. The months and years that I mention are approximate to the best of my memory. This is from the top of my head and I am not using any sources here. Here we go:


WCW
-1995 - Debuted as a heel
-August 1996 - Turned face around the time the nWo was formed.
-October 1996 - Turned heel by joining the nWo
-November 1996 - Turned face by getting beat up by the nWo after wanting a title shot at Hogan after winning World War 3.
-Spring 1998 - Turned heel by joining nWo Hollywood/Black and White. I believe his explanation for this was to oppose Kevin Nash who was in nWo Wolfpac.
-January 1999 - Was pretty much a babyface in his last match in WCW against Kevin Nash on Nitro. The Giant lost the match due to outside nWo interference.

WWE
-February 1999 - Debuted as a heel by interfering on McMahon's behalf against Austin in a Steel Cage Match at St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
-March 1999 - Turned face at WrestleMania by attacking Vince McMahon after McMahon slapped him in the face.
-March/April 1999 - I feel iffy about this one but I believe he somehow turned heel again which led to a Boiler Room Brawl match with Mankind at Backlash.
-April 1999 - Turned face, joined The Union with Foley, Shamrock, and Test to feud with The Corporation.
-Spring/Summer 1999 - Turned heel by joining forces with The Undertaker in a tag team that I believe was called The Unholy Alliance.
-November 1999 - I know he was a face when he was the surprise replacement for Austin at Survivor Series but I don't know if he turned face before that.
-January 2000 - turned heel, joined forces with Shane McMahon, feuded with The Rock.
-April 2000 - turned into a comedy character by doing impersonations of Rikishi and Hogan.
-January 2001 - Was out of action for a while and made a surprise return at the Royal Rumble as what I think was a babyface.
-January 2001 - Turned heel in that same Royal Rumble by chokeslamming The Rock through a table.
-Spring 2001 - Turned face again, can't remember how. I just remember he was on the WWF side in the Invasion storyline and teaming with Billy Gunn in one of the worst tag teams ever.
-Spring 2002 - Turned heel by joining the nWo
-Fall 2002 - I seem to remember him being a face at some point here. I remember there was one episode of Raw where he was a face earlier in the night but then later in the night he was on the heel side of some lumberjack match.
-October/November 2002 - I believe he started as a face feuding with Lesnar.
-November 2002 - Became a heel in that Lesnar feud, siding with Heyman.
-Fall 2004 - Came back as a face after taking a few months off.
-Summer 2006 - Turned heel in ECW, became ECW champion.
-February 2008 - Returned at No Way Out 2008 as a face.
-February 2008 - Turned heel by attacking Rey Mysterio that same night and starting a feud with Mayweather.
-February/March 2008 - The roles got reversed in the Big Show/Mayweather feud and Big Show became the face and Mayweather the heel.
-Late 2008/Early 2009 - Can't remember exactly what happenned here but I know Big Show ended up with Vickie Guerrero and eventually starting feuding with Cena.
-April 2009 - Turned face after getting drafted to Smackdown and feuding with Swagger.

I'm sure Ric Flair's up there somewhere too.

He was still a face during that. He was being forced to tag with Taker because Taker knew some "dark secret" about Big Show. The angle ended when Taker (or was it Show?) got injured and was out.

We all know his real name is The Big Show.

Isn't it 2010?

He was face before this, when he was involved with a feud with Big Bossman over the "death" of his father, and brought in Prince Albert etc... But i dont know how he turned face.

You forgot the RAW Draft episode where he started as a face, turned heel during the match, and then turned face at the very end of the match and eliminated Orton from the battle royal.

i agree with that..flair has to have probably 50 face/heel turns over his 75 year wrestling career

Funniest thing ive read in a good while:lol:

I guess Wikipedia didn't include everything...

Yeah, especially cause that's where you get all your things from.

I thought that was Kane.

Big Shows career has def. been funny. He is quite the chameleon. The WWE has made a habit of building him up as a huge heel threat, making him lose every one of his big matches, killing his cred, letting him flounder for months, then BAM a face turn. I feel it's been like that his whole time in the company.

I literally go from being a huge Show mark (like right now) to actually loathing watching him perform. Quite the feat.

Yes it is... Rather odd, actually.

Size 15EEEEE. Just ask Cole, he'll tell you.

I remember right before Big Show took time off (before Wrestlemania 24) that I could barely stand to look at him let alone watch him "perform". He was so heavy and awkward there for a period that everything he did was so unbelievable and honestly I felt sad for him. Kinda like watching Andre try and move.
