Top 25 Big Men In WWE History

The bigger they are...the harder they hit. At least that's true of the 25 men on this list. From towering giants to earthshaking behemoths, these Superstars possess uncommon size and strength backed by the power and ability to win. What makes a giant? For the purpose of this Top 25, it's a Superstar who is either 6-foot-7 and up or more than 300 pounds. Many of them are both. All of them are destroyers.

25. Rikishi
24. Mike Awesome
23. Big Daddy V
22. One Man Gang
21. Mark Henry
20. Haystacks Calhoun
19. Great Khali
18. Kamala
17. King Kong Bundy
16. Bruiser Brody
15. Umaga

Well I disagree with 3, 4, and 6 being that high, but about as good a list as you'll get from WWE really.

Of course I'd put Andre #1, but I can see why they put Taker #1 and he's definitely not a bad choice.

Not a big fan of him but don't you think Hogan should be on this list?

[TTX]

Well him or Andre......yeah.

Well, I suppose you have to figure out the criteria. Does Hogan transcend this tag? I don't know; it's just another silly list.

Troy, Yokozuna was deserving of that #4 placing in my opinion. At his peak, he was an incredible wrestler for his size.

To me, Big John Studd showing up on this list where he does is just sentimentality. Studd was not good in the ring. He had a little bit of personality, but his main draw was that he was----big. By all accounts he was a great guy, and I want to take nothing away from him being remembered as a part of the 80s expansion era, but memory seems to be kind to him in this instance. ESPECIALLY considering Bruiser Brody checks in at 16. Objectively, Brody would be in the top five easily if this was serious.

To truly make this list credible, I believe there should be a second list that is put up during softball season that excludes Sid...

I know Andre should be #1 . He only lost IF he wanted to Hogan knows that more than anyone...
