2. Giant Gonzalez – 7’6”
Ted Turner invested a lot of money in bringing Jorge Gonzalez up from Brazil to play for the Atlanta Hawks, but when it turned out the big man had no basketball ability, he was dumped on World Championship Wrestling. He wrestled there to little success as El Gigante in the early 1990s before making the leap to WWE in 1992 where he wrestled under the name Giant Gonzalez and was managed by Harvey Wippleman. His most notable match was as an early victim to The Undertaker’s streak at Wrestlemania XI. After a year in WWE, he retired from wrestling and died in his native Brazil in 2010.
