10 Best Wrestling Giants

1. Andre The Giant

He was the only choice for #1. The Eighth Wonder of the World. The man who helped solidify Hulk Hogan, The WWF, and Wrestlemania as the pinnacle of the business for the time. The legendary, lovable, beer-guzzling, Princess-catching, chain-breaking colossus of professional wrestling.

Andre the Giant will forever be synonymous with the spectacle of wrestling. No one turned more heads at airports, dazzled more audiences, or occupied the imagination with greater ease than Andre. The drinking stories are the stuff of pro wrestling lore, only outmatched by the money he drew across the world as a special attraction.

Just watching him absolutely dwarf Bam Bam Bigelow in the ring at the first Survivor Series in 1987 is something I will never ever forget.

And that was the power of Andre. Every wrestling fan in the world remembers the moment when Andre the Giant made them say "Wow."

He's the greatest giant there ever was or ever will be. End of story.
