12. One Man Gang – 6’9”
We prefer to remember the mammoth George Gray for his portrayal of tough-as-nails biker gang member One Man Gang, who first made a name for himself in World Class Championship Wrestling as part of Gen. Skandor Akbar’s “Devastation, Inc.” stable. He was hired by the WWE to serve as one of the many big men Hulk Hogan would run an extended program with. After his championship chase was over, he languished until he was reinvented as Akeem, the African Dream. Wearing traditional African garb and speaking in a ghetto-jive way that would never fly today, Akeem found his greatest WWE success in a tag-team with Big Bossman called the Twin Towers. An interesting bit of trivia is that he scored the pinfall over Shawn Michaels at Michaels’ first Wrestlemania (No. 5) in a Twin Towers vs. Rockers bout.
