Multi-time WWE Champion Paul “Big Show” Wight has either signed a new contract with World Wrestling Entertainment or has agreed to a new deal, reports Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Big Show should be returning to WWE television programming very soon.
Big Show has lost a tremendous amount of weight since leaving WWE as he is down to 440 lbs. The former champion decided he needed sometime off and wanted to pursue a possible boxing career. He began a vigorous training routine to get his body into shape as Hulk Hogan was his “front man” acting as his manager. With Hogan managing him, a lot of big-time boxing promoters were interested in him learning the sport, but his plans ultimately fell through when he realized at his age, boxing would not be the right decision. There was also some talk of Big Show doing a wrestling tour with Hogan, but discussion in that direction has seemed too have stopped.
