At the start of his career Paul worked as a call operator, and enjoyed bounty hunting, when he suddenly met Danny Bonaduce, a TV personality, who introduce Big Show to Hulk Hogan and other wrestling stars of those years. Though Paul had a perfect appearance for becoming a wrestler, he had no experience and had no idea how it worked, so he couldn’t get into the ring. However, with the help of several trainers such as Johnny Polo and Larry Sharpe, he performed in his first bout on 3 December 1994.

Due to his exceptional height he soon gained prominence, and won more fights with experience, reputedly the largest and the strongest wrestler in the world.

His disease also caused strains in some of his joints.  She helps him to get well after surgeries he has to undergo. She also takes care of his nutrition so he doesn’t lose too much weight during the recovery period, as it is important for his qualification.

Though Bess is busy taking care of her husband and kids, in her spare time she likes swimming in the pool which is located at the backyard of their huge mansion in Miami; the pool is covered with glass ceiling, and she can enjoy it any season and any weather. She also accompanies Paul on various charity events which WWE and he personally support or host.

Bess tries to be as far from social media as she possibly can, so she can’t be found on any platform. She used to have a Twitter profile which she quit using in 2009 after posting about her travelling around the US for several months.

In NYC…. Loving the cool weather !!

As to Paul, he is more active on social media, as it is a part of his contract with WWE – to promote himself as a brand name. Thus, his Instagram account has over 1.2 million subscribers, though he doesn’t post there often. He also has a Twitter account which is read by over 2.63 million users, however, one can’t find a single photo of his family there, as he keeps his private life in secret and never shares any family moments with his audience. He can often be seen with other kids hugging him, but they are all his wards from various charity foundations he actively participates in.
