Although behemoths were more the domain of WWE, the creative minds in WCW could always find something for a beastlier wrestler to do. In his earlier days, Rodney Anoa'i made a splash (quite literally) as Kokina Maximus in the AWA, weighing considerably less than he would at his peak. He also toured New Japan in the early 1990s, which would have made him more visible to WCW, given the working agreement between both companies.

Alas, McMahon got him in the fall of 1992, and retained him until 1997-98, letting him go when his weight made him a liability, as he was unable to get medical clearance to wrestle in some states. It had been rumored that Hulk Hogan was interested in bringing him into WCW around 1998, presumably to get his return 'job' (just as he would do with Warrior), but it wasn't to be.
