On a recent edition of the “AdFreeShows” podcast, Sonny Onoo recalled how Paul Wight nearly had a mask when he debuted in WCW.
Wight made his WCW debut as The Giant and was initially teased as being Andre the Giant’s son.
Onoo said, “I found Andre the Giant’s mask, which I didn’t realize I had. That mask, … we were gonna use it for Paul Wight, when Paul Wight was coming in.
The storyline we were gonna use was [to] put that mask on Paul Wight, and make his first appearance in WCW, and of course everybody from Hulk [Hogan] and everybody else would freak out.”
Wight was in WCW for four years before he signed with WWE and became The Big Show.
