10 Biggest Superstars On The WWE Raw Roster

WWE has always been known as the land of the giants. Vince McMahon built the popularity of his company in the 1980s on the shoulders of enormous attractions, whether it was Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior or Andre the Giant. The chairman's love of jaw-dropping physical specimens is well-documented and, as such, the roster usually reflects that boardroom penchant for enormous, muscular men.

In recent years, times have begun to change somewhat. Tighter controls around steroid use and a general influx of talent from the independent circuit have brought the average size of WWE's stars down to a more reasonable level. The reputation of WWE as a land of the giants is on the wane.

Raw is still very much the WWE's flagship show, with the Monday night programme clearly designed around McMahon's favourite talents - from the endless Universal Championship reign of Brock Lesnar to the occasional appearances of ageing veteran Kane.

This means that Raw is still peppered with an array of big, muscular performers. The main event scenes features some physically imposing monsters and the recent post-WrestleMania series of NXT call-ups has also yielded some massive men who look set to tear up the competition in the coming months.

Note: All of these weights are taken from WWE.com, so they might not reflect the actual, legitimate sizes of the wrestlers.

Bobby Lashley made his triumphant return to the WWE roster the night after WrestleMania. The man known as 'Walking Armageddon' last appeared in WWE way back in 2008 and, since leaving the company, he has mounted a successful career in TNA - or as successful as anyone can be on that show - as well as spending time as a legitimate fighter in a number of mixed martial arts promotions.

Lashley's biggest asset is his extraordinary size. He's lacking in terms of charisma and promo skills and, based on his most recent work, his in-ring ability isn't much to shout about either. Whatever his shortcomings, though, Lashley is undoubtedly an impressive visual specimen and, if a non-wrestling fan were to tune in, it would likely be him they identified as being a star competitor.

The current Lashley programme has him embroiled in a weird feud based around men dressing up as women to play his sisters, pitting him against the much smaller Sami Zayn. This is a questionable use of a man whose talents would be much better utilised in a rivalry that exists to sell him as a feared physical force capable of beating absolutely anyone.
