[edit] PMG Clash of Legends (2007)
In his first wrestling match since leaving WWE, Wight wrestled his mentor Hulk Hogan at the Memphis Wrestling independent event PMG Clash of Legends on April 27, 2007 in Memphis, Tennessee, losing following a leg drop. The bout was presented as a "rematch" of the March 29, 1987 match between Hogan and André the Giant at WrestleMania III, which Hogan won in a similar fashion. In a press conference on April 12, Wight announced that he had reduced his weight by 60 lb (27 kg) since leaving WWE and had given up smoking. When referred to as "The Big Show", Wight stated that this was his "slave name" and that he was to be referred to as Paul "The Great" Wight ("Great White"). [8]
Wight subsequently began training at the Phantom Boxing Club in Miami with the intent of becoming a professional boxer

Big Show did not renew his contract and left the WWE. He was offered a new contract just a while later which he turned down. He is reportedly trying to pursue a career in boxing. Rumor has it that he was having some physical issues in the ring and had problems with Vinny Mac.

Geez Matt, don't you read the questions and answers in this area?
Big Show retired from wrestling. He's been asked several times to return and has turned down the requests. He's not interested.
He's now in training for professional boxing.

When I went on Wikipedia a few days ago, I read that he was going to train to be a professional boxer. I wish he would come back to WWE.
