#5 Giant Silva
Trending
Coming in at number 5 is yet another member of the infamous Oddities faction. Giant Silva is without question one of the tallest people to ever wrestle, standing 7’2” and weighing nearly 400 pounds.
A native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, Giant Silva took the obvious course as he got older and became a basketball player at a young age. In fact, Silva went on to play for the Brazilian National team in the 1988 Summer Olympics.
With very little experience, Silva was signed by WWE in late 1997 and made his debut as a member of The Oddities. For the most part, Silva only served as a cornerman for the stable, but would eventually make the occasional tag team appearance with another Oddities member.
After one year with the company, Silva was released with the other Oddities in 1999. He then spent some time with New Japan Pro Wrestling, as well as various independent appearances, before finally going into the professional Mixed Martial Arts industry.
