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. |
