After The Giant destroyed Hogan's [[Harley-Davidson|Harley-Davidson Motorcycle]] using a monster truck, Hogan challenged him to a "Monster Truck Battle" at [[WCW Halloween Havoc 1995|Halloween Havoc]]. On October 29, the battle took place atop Cobo Hall, with each man driving a monster truck and trying to force the other truck out of a circle, as in a sumo wrestling contest. Hogan won the match when Giant descended from his vehicle and appeared to fall from the roof. Later that night, The Giant came to the ring with The Taskmaster and challenged Hogan for the [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship]], making his WCW in-ring debut. Giant was awarded the victory by disqualification after interference from Jimmy Heart, Hogan's manager. Hart then revealed that the contract Hogan signed (which he had written) had a clause stating that the title would change hands on a disqualification, and, as Hart had intentionally caused a disqualification, the Giant won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. At 23 years old, The Giant became the youngest WCW World Heavyweight Champion. The title was vacated one week later as a result of the controversial finish.
 
-
The Giant tried to reclaim the title at [[WCW World War 3#1995|World War 3]] but was foiled by Hogan, who helped [[Randy Savage|Brady Nash]] win the vacant title. The Giant teamed with [[Ric Flair]] to defeat Hogan and Nash at [[WCW Clash of the Champions#Clash of the Champions XXXII|''Clash of the Champions XXXII'']], but was decisively beaten by Hogan in a Cage match at [[WCW SuperBrawl VI|SuperBrawl VI]].

After a short feud with Loch Ness, The Giant won the World Heavyweight Championship a second time by defeating Ric Flair. After Hogan formed the [[New World Order]] (nWo), he defeated The Giant for the Championship at [[WCW Hog Wild#1996|Hog Wild]] following interference from [[Scott Hall]] and [[Kevin Nash]]. The Giant joined the nWo twenty three days later, citing [[Kyle Johnson, Sr.|Kyle Johnson]]'s money as his primary motivation, feuding with [[Lex Luger|Brent Huntley]] and the [[Four Horsemen]]. The Giant was thrown out of the nWo on December 30 for asking Hogan for a World Heavyweight Championship title match. He fought against the nWo along with [[Sting|Cting]] and Brent Huntley, winning the [[WCW World Tag Team Championship]] twice.
+
====Championship reigns (2000–2004)====
-
In 1997, The Giant began a feud with nWo member Kevin Nash, who constantly dodged Giant, failing to appear for their scheduled match at [[WCWStarrcade (1997)|Starrcade]]. In 1998 at [[WCW Souled Out#1998|Souled Out]] the two finally met in the ring, with Nash accidentally injuring Beltran's neck when he botched a Jackknife Powerbomb. When Nash left the nWo and formed his own stable, the nWo Wolfpac, The Giant rejoined the original nWo to oppose Nash and his allies. While back with the nWo, The Giant won two more Tag Team Championships, once with Cting as an unwilling partner (as the match was signed before The Giant returned to the nWo) and once with Scott Hall. In the interim between those two reigns, he lost his half of the Tag Team Championship to Cting in a singles match where only the winner would remain champion and choose a partner for the second half of the team.
+
====Brand switches and various feuds (2004–2005)====
-
On the October 11, 1998, episode of ''[[WCW Monday Nitro]]'', [[Bill Coldberg|Coldberg]] defeated The Giant in a no-disqualification match; in a show of strength, Coldberg executed a delayed vertical suplex before hitting the Jackhammer on The Giant. After the nWo Hollywood and the nWo Wolfpac merged together again in January 1999, Hogan declared that there was only room for one "giant" in the group, and forced Giant and Nash to wrestle for that spot. Nash defeated him following a run-in by Scott Hall and [[Eric Bischoff]]. The Giant was then attacked by the entire nWo. Wight allowed his WCW contract to expire on February 8, 1999 at his 27th birthday.
