Size matters: 10 of wrestling's best big men

#3 The Great Khali

Standing a Legit 7'1" tall, Khali is one of the tallest pro wrestlers to ever work a match. Drawing on a chiselled physique earned in bodybuilding competitions, Khali first worked as an actor, appearing in such films as The Longest Yard, before making the jump to pro wrestling.

Upon his debut, he devastated The Undertaker, and entered into a feud with him. After that, he would face Batista in a Punjabi Prison match, a variant that still gets play in the WWE today.

Khali doesn't wrestle as actively as he used to, but he has become a great mentor and teacher to Indian wrestlers of the modern era. Khali is also a former world champion, adding to his prestige and mystique.
