Trending
Before making his professional wrestling debut with WCW in 1989, Jorge Gonzalez was a very successful basketball player in his native country of Argentina. At the time he was signed, Ted Turner was the owner of the Atlanta Hawks, which was the team Jorge played for at the time. Turner saw some sort of potential in Gonzalez and offered him a contract with WCW.
His time with WCW was spent in various feuds, including a nearly two-year rivalry against Ric Flair. However, his lack of experience and overall wrestling knowledge was extremely evident in his performances.
In 1993, Jorge debuted as Giant Gonzalez in the WWE. As Giant Gonzalez, his lone highlight was a loss to The Undertaker at Wrestlemania IX.
Unfortunately, Jorge passed away in 2010, after complications from diabetes.
