10. Big John Studd – 6’10”
via wwfchamps.com
It’s gotta be hard to be as massive as Big John Studd, but still not be the main attraction. Studd, just a couple of inches shorter than Andre The Giant, played second banana, bad-guy foil to the loved Andre for most of his first run in the WWE between 1982 and 1986. His most notable match was a loss to Andre in a “bodyslam challenge” at the first Wrestlemania in Madison Square Garden. After a series of losses to Andre, and then Hulk Hogan, there really wasn’t a lot of options for Studd, who it’s rumored was actually despised by Andre in real life. He had a brief run as a good guy in 1988-89, including winning the Royal Rumble, but health problems forced him to retire. He died in 1995 and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2004.
