7. Uncle Elmer – 7’0”
via pl.wwe.com
Stan Frazier was a big country guy from Mississippi who played a big country guy from the Ozarks. His character of the gruff but lovable uncle in a hillbilly clan that consisted of Hillbilly Jim, Cousin Luke and Cousin Junior was a favorite of kids and at 475 pounds, Frazier was a sight to behold. He bounced around southern indies for years, most notably Jerry Lawler’s Memphis territory, but got his big break in the WWE in 1985, where he wrestled for two years until his then 48-year-old body couldn’t keep up with the travel grind wrestlers were expected to follow then. Aside from being the match before the Wrestlemania II main event, Frazier’s biggest moment in the WWE was getting married on an episode ofSaturday Night’s Main Event, which was actually real and not just a storyline.
