Braun Strowman (2.03m), The Undertaker (2.08m) and The Big Show (2.13m) are among the tallest Superstars in WWE right now, but none of them are as big as Jordan Omogbehin (2.21m).

Back in the 1990s, WWE was still known as “The Land of the Giants”, hence why Superstars including Giant Silva (2.18m) were used on television despite their lack of in-ring skills.

In fact, height was such a big issue in WWE that, according to Jim Ross, Chris Jericho (1.83m) was removed from the WrestleMania 2000 main event due to his size.

“That's why Jericho wore lifts in his shoes in those early days in WWE. But nonetheless, that's it. What else could there be? I mean, he wasn't hard to get along with. He worked his a** off. He was talented, was highly skilled, great skill set. He was not the ideal height to be in a main event at WrestleMania, in Vince [McMahon]'s view.” [H/T Fightful]

Looking back at the big men from WWE’s past, Jordan Omogbehin is not quite as tall as Andre The Giant (2.24m) or Giant Gonzalez (2.31m), but he is the third-tallest Superstar in the company’s history according to a list on WWE’s official website.
