Top 5 'Big Men' in WWE History

#2. Andre the Giant

Andre the Giant

Much like Yokozuna, when talking about big men in wrestling you don't get far without talking about Andre the Giant. As a matter of fact, the conversation probably starts with Andre. If you're a wrestling fan, you've probably heard all the stories from everybody in wrestling and have to marvel at his career.

At 7'4" and over 500 pounds, Andre was the main attraction for many traveling wrestling fans. He would easily beat down multiple men in the ring and the fans would love it. But even though he was huge, he was the definition of a gentle giant. It's also a wrestling legend that Andre had a 15-year undefeated streak, which is absolutely crazy to think about.

As is unfortunately the case with many big men, Andre's career was a very rough one. Alcohol problems and general wear and tear on that huge frame of his was just too much for Andre to handle as he, unfortunately, passed away at age 46.

Although he died way too young, the legend of Andre the Giant will never disappear. Be it through his wrestling career, his acting career, or just the legend around his name, he will live on. As stated earlier, when you talk about big men in wrestling, Andre the Giant will always be part of the conversation.
