39 Best Wrestlers From 39 Different Countries

39. Argentina: Giant Gonzalez

Birthplace: El Colorado, Formosa, Argentina

In terms of underwhelming starts to a list, they don’t get any lower than Jorge “Giant” Gonzalez when it comes to wrestling talent. His inclusion here is more one of those “by default” ones, though.

A legit 7’7” (although often billed as 8 foot tall), it’s no surprise that Gonzalez took a career path that took in basketball and even briefly the NBA. That wouldn’t work out, and the giant Argentine would soon head to WCW and become El Gigante.

Despite having minimal talent and movement, he’d be involved in some high profile WCW angles before a famed 1994 stint in the WWF, including an Undertaker feud that took in a Wrestlemania match. Oh, and that horrible bodysuit.

Having retired in 1995 due to health issues, Gonzalez would spend his time out of the limelight in Argentina until he sadly passed away in 2010 at the age of just 44.
