largest wrestlers in wwe history

Kamala
1. Hailing from the wilds of Africa, the bizarre Superstar known as Kamala used his 375pound bulk and unorthodox offense to intimidate opponents in both WWE and WCW. Always barefoot with war paint all over his body, The Ugandan Giant competed in many twisted bouts, including a Steel Cage Match against Andre the Giant and a Coffin Match with Undertaker during his lengthy career. Kamalas most memorable moment, however, occurred outside the ring when h .....
Haystacks Calhoun
2. A household name at the peak of his popularity, Haystacks Calhouns uncommon girth made him a major boxoffice attraction throughout the 1950s and 60s. Born in Morgans Corner, Ark., in 1934, the 600pounder stayed true to his farm boy roots during his career, sporting a white Tshirt and blue overalls in battles against rivals like Mr. Fuji and the 800pound Happy Humphrey. This unique look made the behemoth a sensation in many different promotions, b .....
Big Daddy V
3. He went by many different names in WWE, but whether this 1995 King of the Ring winner obliterated opponents as Mabel, Viscera or Big Daddy V, one label always applied giant. With a smash mouth offensive style that was so vicious it could be hard to watch his spinning heel kick looked like it could destroy most compact cars this 500pounder was so intense between the ropes that he once shattered The Undertakers face. .....
Don Leo Jonathan
4. A secondgeneration performer, Don Leo Jonathan was one of the most feared big men from his era. From the 1950s throughout the 70s, the Hurricane, Utah, native became a boxoffice attraction across the globe. Weighing as much as 340 pounds during his career, The Mormon Giants adaptability allowed him to wrestle a scientific match or brawl with the best of them depending on the situation. More times than not, Jonathans Spinning Full Nelson would spe .....
Crusher Jerry Blackwell
5. At 5foot9 and a rotund 474 pounds, Jerry Blackwell didnt look like one of the most agile big men of his era. But .....
Bubba Ray Dudley
6. Bubba Ray Dudleys ring style was reminiscent of Bam Bam Bigelow. Aside from one being covered in tiedye and the other in flames, their size, strength, aggression and agility were scarily similar. At a snack shy of four bills, Bubba dropkicked, launched flying shoulder blocks and even top rope splashes that served doubly duty as colonics. As one of the six men that created the TLC Match, he was as comfortable creating offense with tables and ladde .....
One Man Gang
7. The name says it all. A near 500pound hard hitter from the mean streets of Chicago, One Man Gang was an army unto himself. Standing at 6foot9 with his hair shaved into a wild Mohawk, Gangs appearance was intimidating enough, but it was his 747 Splash that opponents truly feared. From his days as the top dog in the bad dudeheavy Universal Wrestling Federation to his time in WWE under the tutelage of Slick, the powerhouse left behind a long line of .....
Giant Baba
8. The great colossus of Tokyo, Shohei .....
Abdullah the Butcher
9. Volatile and sadistic, with wild, darting eyes to match, Abdullah the Butcher was the stuff of nightmares. Unlike other superheavyweights, the near 400pound Madman from Sudan didnt rely solely on his massive frame to damage opponents, instead preferring to incorporate a wide assortment of weaponry none of which he wielded more reliably than his trusted fork. .....
King Kong Bundy
10. King Kong Bundy liked making statements. Thats why the 445pound man mountain demanded that the official count to five after Bundy had flattened an opponent with his devastating Avalanche splash. Often referred to as a walking condominium by Gorilla Monsoon, the Atlantic City, N.J., native made history when he pinned S.D. Jones at the inaugural WrestleMania in nine seconds. The following year, Bundy experienced yet another milestone in his career .....
Big John Studd
11. A basketball star in his youth, Big John Studd entered professional wrestling under the tutelage of fellow giant Killer Kowalski in the mid70s. A legitimate 7foot1, Studd had the mass of an NFL linebacker with hands like baked hams. This size would help the Los Angeles native in his many battles against Andre the Giant throughout the mid80s. The crowning moment of Studds career, however, came in 1989 when he won the secondever Royal Rumble Match. .....
Umaga
12. Dubbed The Samoan Bulldozer, this relentless, tattooed titan debuted in WWE in 2006, utterly flattening his opponents as he set his sights on top Superstars such as John Cena and Triple H. Armed with his sadistic Samoan Spike and surprising agility given his 340pound frame, this former Intercontinental Champion is remembered as one of the most dangerous Superstars in WWE history. .....
Sid
13. At 6foot9 and 309 pounds, Sids size was imposing enough, but it was his certifiably insane behavior that made him one of the most feared Superstars of the 90s. A major force in both WWE and WCW, Sid controlled the ring with a mixture of unbridled intensity and high impact power maneuvers, including his destructive powerbomb. The madman used this backbreaking arsenal to defeat the likes of Bret Hit Man Hart and Shawn Michaels on his way to picking .....
Rikishi
14. The 400plus pound Samoan emerged in WWE as onehalf of The Headshrinkers, but it wasnt until he joined forces with Too Cool in 1999 that this bleached blond behemoth endeared himself to WWE fans with his funky dance moves and funloving attitude. Rikishis success extended beyond the dance floor, though, as he captured the World Tag Team Championships, Intercontinental Championship and WWE Tag Team Championships. Still, he is perhaps best known for .....
Diesel
15. Entering WWE in 1994 as Shawn Michaels massive bodyguard, Diesels fullthrottle ascent to the main event was fueled by his thirst for championship gold. In the 1994 Royal Rumble Match, Diesel eliminated seven opponents in just 18 minutes. Later that year, Big Daddy Cool captured the Intercontinental Championship and the WWE Tag Team Championships with his partner, HBK. But it was Diesels WWE Title victory over Bob Backlund that would stand as his .....
Bruiser Brody
16. Considered by many to be the most dangerous and unpredictable brawler of his era, Bruiser Brody battled his way across the globe throughout the 1970s and early 80s, leaving behind a path of destruction that few Superstars have equaled. Revered in Japan for his wild matches against the likes of Abdullah the Butcher and Terry Funk, Brody is best remembered by WWE fans for his gory battles with legendary WWE Champion Bruno Sammartino, which cemented .....
Earthquake
17. Starting off as a successful sumo wrestler, the enormous Earthquake built his reputation as a destructive force in Japan before making his way to WWE in 1989. Weighing almost 500 pounds, Earthquake literally shook the ring when he stomped on the mat. His Earthquake Splash was even more destructive, squashing everything from Hulk Hogans ribcage to Jake Roberts python, Damien. Quakes size doubled in the 90s when he formed The Natural Disasters with .....
Big Boss Man
18. While the 330pound Big Boss Man had the immense size of an offensive lineman, he moved with the speed of a running back, which made him incredibly dangerous. The imposing corrections officer from Cobb County, Ga., had no problems heaving his opponents around the ring like an unruly inmate. The poor saps that fell to Boss Man got the full prison treatment, too, getting cuffed to the ring ropes and introduced to the business end of a nightstick. Mi .....
Blackjack Mulligan
19. A member of the 1966 New York Jets, Bob Windham began training for a professional wrestling career at the urging of teammate and mat legend Wahoo McDaniel. It was a natural fit for the 6foot7, 340pound former U.S. Marine who was rivaled only by Andre the Giant in terms of size and power during his prime years in the mid70s. A no nonsense competitor, the gruff Texan finished off foe after foe with his signature Iron Claw. In 1975, Mulligan formed .....
Mark Henry
20. Some WWE fans were critical of the fact that it took Mark Henry 15 years to embrace his status as the squared circles most intimidating figure. Truth is they should be thankful. Had the powerhouse from Silsbee, Texas, spent the last decade behaving the way he did in fall 2011 then WWE history would look a lot different. Imagine rings destroyed. Legends hobbled. The Streak? A few digits less impressive. .....
Gorilla Monsoon
21. Best remembered by a generation of WWE fans as the beloved voice of WWE in the 1980s, Gorilla Monsoon first rose to fame as a ferocious villain who terrorized rings in the 1960s and 70s.

Gorilla even got into a scuffle with boxing legend Muhammad Ali du .....
Stan Hansen
22. Dubbed .....
Big Cat Ernie Ladd
23. Before becoming one of the most revered Superstars of his era, Big Cat Ernie Ladd was a gridiron great, playing with teams like the San Diego Chargers and the Houston Oilers during the 1960s. In the early 70s, Big Cat shifted his focus to the ring where his 6foot9, 300plus pound bulk intimidated opponents and his trademark taped thumb put them down for the count. Dominating and charismatic, the WWE Hall of Famer was a major star who stomped throu .....
Yokozuna
24. Consider this at 589 pounds, Yokozuna weighed literally twice as much as the massive Batista. This earthshaking mass served the dominant sumo wrestler very well during his time with WWE as the giant stomped his way past WWE Hall of Famers like Bret Hit Man Hart and Hulk Hogan on his way to two WWE Championships. Managed by Mr. Fuji for the majority of his career, Yokozuna was deceptively mobile for a man of his size. And his Banzai Splash, in wh .....
Bam Bam Bigelow
25. Often touted by Bret Hit Man Hart as the most talented big man in wrestling history, Bam Bam Bigelow was one of the rare behemoths who could literally throw his weight around. Unbelievably agile for a near 400pounder, The Beast from the East used his massive body to achieve success in WWE, WCW and other promotions across the globe. The tattooed New Jersey native once disposed of King Kong Bundy and One Man Gang in the same match and battled in th .....
Vader
26. The shout of Its Vader time announced the arrival of the most ferocious big man of the 1990s. Known as The Mastodon for good reason, Vader captured three World Heavyweight Championships during his time in WCW thanks to his thick muscles and aggressive style and came close to winning the WWE Championship on multiple occasions. A player with the Los Angeles Rams before entering sportsentertainment, Vader rushed his opponents like a defensive end, s .....
Kane
27. Kane wouldve made this list even if he remained the mute horror movie villain he was back in 1997 when he tore the door off the Hell in a Cell and attacked his brother, The Undertaker. But over the past 17 years (), The Devils Favorite Demon has evolved in the most fascinating ways, morphing from charred monster to sympathetic hero, from hook wielding goon to a walking advertisement for the benefits of group therapy. That he continues to catch us .....
Big Show
28. Lets get one thing straight about Big Show The Worlds Largest Athlete isnt just a clever nickname. Its a fact. Standing at a towering 7foot tall and weighing more than 400 pounds, the titan is one of the most imposing men to ever enter a wrestling ring and, perhaps, the most athletically gifted Superstar to ever be called a giant. Dominant from the very beginning, Show won the WCW Championship in his very first match in 1995. He would continue t .....
Andre the Giant
29. A key figure in the storied history of sportsentertainment, Andre the Giant rose from humble beginnings in Grenoble, France, to become one of the most recognizable men in the world. His stats are gospel amongst longtime wrestling fans 7foot4, 520 pounds. His unquenchable thirst has become the stuff of internet legend cases and cases of red wine, 120 beers in one sitting. Rumors aside, what remains true is that Andre is a legitimate folk hero an .....
The Undertaker
30. Perhaps the single most destructive force in WWE history, The Undertaker possesses the size to intimidate and the inring ability to back it up. Not only can The Demon from Death Valley beat opponents with power, but he knows submission maneuvers (Hells Gate), top rope attacks (Old School) and has been called the best pure striker in WWE. The majority of the giants on this list have fallen to The Deadman at one time or another. The ones who didnt .....
Kurrgan
31. Kurrgan was an essential element of the Oddities, a group of wrestlers that the league began pushing in the Attitude era of the 1990s. Every member of the group was a .....
The Great Khali
32. Its a rare sight to see someone looking Khali in the eye, simply because not many people can stand tall enough. Khali is one of the most famous big men in the WWEs storied history, and certainly one wrestler that quickly comes to mind when discussing the largest wrestlers of the WWE. Unfortunately for him, this list isnt determined by fame, but by added consideration of height and weight. Still, number seven isnt too shabby. Khali stands at 7 1 a .....
