8. Kurrgan – 6’11”
via pl.wwe.com
After a hit-and-miss career in the seasonal Canadian indy circuit and a failed attempt at joining the WWE, Robert Maillet was not expecting a call from Bret Hart to pull him away from his job as a bouncer in New Brunswick bars. But, the call came, and after some work at getting the ring rust off, Maillet, as “The Interrogator” made his WWE debut as part of The Truth Commission, managed by Don “Jackyl” Callas. An attempt to break Maillet out as a singles wrestler didn’t go anywhere, but it did give him the name Kurrgan, which is the character he’s most known for. After a run as part of The Oddities as a tie-dye wearing dancing fool, Maillet left wrestling for the movies, scoring parts in such blockbusters as 300, Pacific Rim and Sherlock Holmes.
