Big show as the giant in wcw was also "7 foot 5 and over 550lbs" but amazingly he looked thinner then than he does now at an alleged weight of 480lbs.

In terms of height Paul Wight went from 7 foot 5 in wcw, to 7 foot 2 in wwf to 7 foot in wwe. When he first entered the wwf he was mean to be 500lbs but again looked much thinner and more built than he does now. Its all to do with perception as well, thinner people do have the appearence of being that bit taller, when he first entered wcw as the giant he was billed at a more beleivable 350lbs and it seemed to make his appearence more stretched out.
