2. Happy Humphrey
Humphrey and Calhoun famously competed in several events at Madison Square Gardens throughout their professional wrestling careers. The matches were indeed a spectacle, as both men sported almost unfathomable frames, yet were able to wrestle rather competently.
Humphrey’s weight reportedly peaked at around 900 pounds, yet fluctuated wildly throughout his career. SEE ALSO: 10 WWE Superstars who love smoking weed – You will be shocked to see this! (With Pictures)
He was billed as the world’s largest wrestler throughout the 1950s, and anybody who witnessed him would be hard pressed to argue the fact. His matches against Calhoun typically ended in losses, as Calhoun was more agile and weighed over a hundred pounds less. Calhoun is quoted as saying Humphrey was a “fat 700 pounds” and that he could “[slam] him easier than the average-size fellow.”
