What's your favourite of Paul Wight's turns?

[Sky]

Paul Wight / The Giant / Big Show probably has more face and heel turns than any wrestler in history.

1. 1995: Starts out heel as The Giant of the Dungeon of Doom
2. 1996: When the nWo storyline starts he's the WCW Champion and the nWo wants the belt, so he turns face
3. 1996: He then turns heel and joins the nWo
4. 1996: Looking for a title shot, he gets kicked out of the nWo and is face again, leading to that Souled Out 1997 match
5. 1998: Giant turns heel by joining nWo Hollywood, and also does that weird "Big Tobacco" gimmick where he smokes mid-match
6. 1999: After the Fingerpoke of Doom, Giant goes face as he's out of the nWo, and soon out of the company
7. 1999: Jumps to WWF and debuts as a heel on Mr. McMahon's side
8. 1999: Turns face at WrestleMania 15, knocks out McMahon, and forms part of the Union (remember the Union?)
9. 1999: Forms the heel tag team, the Unholy Alliance, with Undertaker
10. 1999: Taker gets injured, Show goes face again, feuds with Boss Man in that horrible feud, and becomes the Steve Austin replacement at Survivor Series 1999
11. 2000: Whines about the Royal Rumble 2000 result, and feuds with Rock, going heel again
12. 2000: Turns face, develops an impersonator gimmick, and feuds with Shane McMahon
13. 2000: Comes back, turns heel, joins Shane, then gets kicked back to OVW for a while, returning at the 2001 Rumble
14. 2001: The InVasion starts and Show's on team WWF so he's a face
15. 2002: As the Brand Extension era begins, Show turns heel, chokeslams Austin, and joins the nWo
16. 2002: He then switches to SmackDown, forgets he was ever part of the nWo, and turns face again
17. 2002: But then he turns heel as part of that double turn with Lesnar at Survivor Series 2002
18. 2004: Stays heel for a while until he comes back from knee surgery - since the last guy he feuded with was Kurt Angle, who is now a heel, guess Show's face now
19. 2006: Joins ECW, turns heel and becomes the muscle for heel Paul Heyman
20. 2008: After leaving WWE in 2007 he comes back in 2008, as a face
21. 2008: He then immediately turns heel, attacks Rey Mysterio, and feuds with Floyd Mayweather...
22. 2008: ...but is quickly turned back face by the crowd because imagine thinking outsider and natural heel Floyd Mayweather will get a pop
23. 2008: Goes to SmackDown, turns heel, and has a weird affair with Vickie Guerrero I guess
24. 2009: In the war for BRAND SUPREMACY at Bragging Rights, Big Show earns his way on to Team Raw, and teases a face turn against Jeri-Show teammate Chris Jericho
25. 2009: However, he ends up going right back heel by betraying Team Raw so Jericho's Team SD can win
26. 2010: Punches out Miz and turns face, feuds with the SES, the Corre, Mark Henry, becomes Teddy Long's friend and that means John Laurinaitis fires him
27. 2012: Accepts Johnny's ironclad contract offer and goes heel for him
28. 2013: Helps babyfaces Sheamus and Randy Orton against the Shield, which should make him face
29. 2013: But then they lose and he decides to be a heel again
30. 2013: Saves two faces from the Shield and goes face again (I'm starting to sense a pattern)
31. 2013: Is dragged into the Authority, making him an unwilling heel, because he's broke apparently
32. 2013: Seemingly can't decide, screwing both Daniel Bryan and the Authority's guy Randy Orton, but then teams with Rey and feuds with Lesnar, so... face
33. 2014: Betrays his team at Survivor Series, turns heel, and rejoins the Authority because he wants to be on the winning side (he is not on the winning side)
34. 2016: The Authority fades away and Show turns back face by feuding with the Wyatt Family
35. 2018: Returns to align himself with the Bar (heel) and help them to beat the New Day
36. 2018: When that story's done, he goes right back face by decking the Bar; he's next seen in early 2020 where he's still a face
37. 2020: Has an impromptu post-WM36 match with Drew McIntyre which is a dick move, making him a heel
38. 2020: He then goes back face by helping the Viking Profits (remember that angle?) against Tozawa's ninjas

And that's where we are today, with Paul Wight as a face AEW commentator. Which was your favourite? Least favourite? Why does he turn so often?

Which one was when he ko dusty

God that's so fucking many. Serious answer: I liked the 2002 double turn quite a bit even if I didn't care for show much then

But also that fucking Drew challenge after Mania is the funniest shit I've ever seen

That was the era when he smoked cigarettes during matches wasn't it?

I think 2014 was a pretty good turn, it just sucks because he had turned so much before that it came a mile away.
