Paul Wight, who has been out of action since undergoing knee replacement last summer, shared in a recent interview with Deuce & Mo that he wants to work with several wrestlers when he returns to the ring.
The former Big Show seems particularly interested in facing Kenny Omega and Darby Allin, heaping praise on both men. He also mentioned Powerhouse Hobbs, Lance Archer and Wardlow as potential opponents.
Finally, Wight stated that it would be fun to share the ring with Orange Cassidy but said that he’d rather tag with the AEW International Champion, while also expressing his desire to team with and face Satnam Singh to help him develop as a wrestler.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On working with Kenny Omega: “There are a couple guys I want to work with. I definitely want to work with Kenny Omega at some point. I’m totally fascinated by a lot of stuff Kenny Omega does. Kenny and I could have a great big man, little man match. I have zero doubts in my mind we could rip the roof off the building.”
On how a potential match with Darby Allin might play out: “(Powerhouse) Hobbs, Wardlow. Even Darby Allin. I’d probably have to be a bad guy to compete against Darby Allin, but if I was a bad guy competing against Darby Allin, I could have the place rioting because he does such a good job with his character of selling and fighting from underneath. Lance Archer is another one.”
On why he’d prefer to instead tag with Orange Cassidy: “Orange Cassidy would be fun to play with, maybe tag with. As an opponent, he’d probably irritate the hell out of me, but as a tag partner he’d be a lot of fun.”
On how he wants to help Satnam Singh: “We have Satnam Singh, who is 7’2”, he’s a little green right now, but at some point, if I tag with him and show him how to tag team wrestle as a giant, that would be fun and maybe down the road split up into a feud there. The landscape is wide open to do whatever.”
