AEW Files Trademark for Paul Wight s Character in The Waterboy, Captain Insano
✖
All Elite Wrestling announced back on Feb. 24 that it had signed former WWE Champion Paul Wight (better known for 22 years as The Big Show) to a multi-year contract as both a wrestler and commentator. But while AEW won t be able to use Wight s famous wrestling name due to trademarks, they have apparently filed to get their hands another of his alter-egos, Captain Insano. Wight played the role of Insano in the 1998 movie The Waterboy, where he laughs at Adam Sandler s Bobby Boucher when he offers to be his professional water boy. This was Wight s only scene in the movie, though the line Captain Insano shows no mercy! delivered later in the movie by Sandler became one of the film s most quotable lines.
