"He left WWE cause he said he could still wrestle" - Wrestling fans poke fun at 7-time world champion's poor AEW booking by Tony Khan

The pro wrestling community is seemingly very displeased with how the former WWE star Paul Wight (FKA Big Show) has been booked in AEW.&quot;The World's Largest Athlete&quot; has not had much in-ring action since joining the Jacksonville-based promotion in 2021. Although he initially signed on to be a part of the commentary team, it was also implied that he would participate inside the squared circle.Paul's only notable feud in Tony Khan's company was with QT Marshall at the 2021 All Out pay-per-view. Since then, he has had only three matches on Dark: Elevation, winning all of them.Understandably, the All Elite fanbase is craving much more of a prominent run from the former WWE veteran. Interestingly, Tony Khan recently teased something like that on Twitter, referencing Paul's &quot;Captain Insano&quot; character from the 1996 movie, The Waterboy.This has opened the floodgates on social media, as fans flocked to post speculations about the Big Show's potential return and slammed the promotion for underutilizing the legend.Check out some responses below:Reckless Intent@RecklessInt3nt@JobberNationTV Funny thing is he left WWE cause he said he could still wrestle @JobberNationTV Funny thing is he left WWE cause he said he could still wrestle 😂Billiam Shannon@realbshannon3@JobberNationTV Don't forget his feud with... *checks notes*...
