Big Show
Also worked as: The Big Show, The Giant, Paul Wight.
The score
Seven factors, none derivable from a record: in-ring, psychology, selling, uplift, peak, catalog, big-match.
Six factors — mic, character, X-factor, crowd, draw, crossover. Only draw is read from the record.
Longevity and standing across the career as the record reports it.

Championships

The ledger in hand covers WWE, AEW and TNA. Reigns in the NWA, WCW, the AWA, New Japan, All Japan, NOAH and elsewhere are not listed here — but they are counted in the world-title standing above, from an editorial table. That asymmetry is the data's, and pretending otherwise would be worse than admitting it.
