10 Biggest Meatiest Men In WWE History ?

6. Akeem

Akeem was a dumb gimmick that could have potentially made a mockery of One Man Gang when WWE turned the nonsense up to eleven in 1988, but he somehow looked meatier than ever with the aesthetic and his abysmal and problematic dancing has since been reframed as charming.

Pairing him with the Big Boss Man under Slick's guidance was even smarter - Ray Traylor was at his largest when he first came in to the company, and Akeem looked even bigger. Outside of Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage et al, they were the most dominating figures on the roster.

Even some of WWE's biggest behemoths from the era disappeared under the girth of his big splash, and though it never propelled The Twin Towers to Tag Team Title glory, he was a perfect foil for babyfaces up and down the card. In an era where being meaty meant being chemically enhanced, there was a lot to be said for 'The African Dream's natural size and stature.
