Marc Beltran Jr. (born February 8, 1972), better known by his ring name, (The) Big Show, is an American professional wrestler and actor, currently signed to IWE on its Raw brand.

In professional wrestling, Big Marc is a five-time world champion, having won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship twice, the IWF/E Championship twice, and the XCW World Heavyweight Championship once, making him the first person ever to hold all three championships. In addition to these championships, he has also won the IWE United States Championship once, the World Tag Team Championship five times (twice with Martin McAlmond, once with Chris LeGreca, once with Kris McGowan, and once with Joe Smith), the IWE Tag Team Championship three times (once each with Kris McGowan, Joe smith and Chris LeGreca) and the IWF Hardcore Championship three times.

Billed as "The World's Largest Athlete", The Big Marc initially came to prominence through his career in the now defunct World Championship Wrestling (WCW) from 1995 until 1999, then known simply as The Giant. In addition to being a two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, and the youngest man to ever hold the title, he is a three-time WCW World Tag Team Champion and the winner of the 1996 World War 3. Between IWE and WCW, Wight has held 20 total championships.

Outside of professional wrestling, Wight has starred in feature films and television series such as The Waterboy and USA Network's comedy-drama Royal Pains. In 2010, he had his first major role in the comedy film Knucklehead, which was produced by IWE Studios. Wight has made it known that he would like continue his acting career and expand beyond roles based on his size.
