The 14 Tallest Wrestlers To Ever Step In A WWE Ring

Sorry Hulk Hogan, Hillbilly Jim, and Psycho Sid Vicious. At 6-foot, 8-inches tall or less, you’re just not tall enough for us today. This is a list for only the tallest of the tall.
The “giant” has always held a place in wrestling since its early beginnings. It marries the carnival sideshow of oddities (bearded woman, two-headed goat) with the carnival sideshow of the strongman. Back in the late 1800s and early 1900s, it was a regular thing for traveling carnivals to travel with a giant who would challenge locals to last in the ring with him for 5 minutes to win a cash prize. After a few too many beatdowns, plants were put in the audience and the bouts were rigged. You can see where this will all evolve.
While there are some things that come to a giant without really trying, such as being famous for having no more skill than an overactive pituitary gland, many will tell you that they would trade places with an average-sized wrestler in a second. The toll of wrestling on their bodies is worse than that of a regular wrestler and the hassles that come with their travel schedule are downright inconvenient.
But as long as there are audiences, there will be the thirst for the giant. You’re not going to see guys with the technical skills of Dean Malenko or Eddie Guerrero on this. Nor will you see guys with the charisma of The Rock or “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. They are simply physically incapable of that kind of wrestling, and most are actually shy after a childhood of being tormented because of their size. Most giants are men of few words, and few moves.
Appreciate the giants because they are few and far between. Here is a list of the 14 tallest giants ever to wrestle for WWE.
