He stood at a great 7 foot 6 and weighed 460 pounds! Gonzalez played the role of Manny, a carnival sideshow giant in a 1993 episode of Baywatch, who befriends Hobie, but later falls into the water and his large size makes it difficult to be rescued. He also had roles in the 1993 and 1994 Thunder in Paradise double-episode turned movies. In 1995, González officially retired from wrestling due to serious health issues. He returned home to Argentina permanently. On September 22, 2010, Jorge Gonzalez died due to complications of diabetes and sev ere heart issues, in his hometown of San Martin, Argentina. He was just 44 years old. During his lifetime he could not have been human, but most likely a giant animal!
