Weight In KG: 329.7 and 338.8.

Yes, that's Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter with Billy and Benny McGuire. Both brothers were listed in the Guinness Book Of World Records as the "World's Heaviest Twins", and it isn't hard to fathom why. Billy weighed 727lbs and Benny weighed 747lbs at their respective peaks whilst still actively wrestling.

Bet you can't believe the McGuire Twins are only number two on the list!

Reportedly, the twins weighed around 200lbs each by the time they were just 10. That number had tripled to 600lbs by the time they hit 16. A circus career followed, then the McGuires fell into pro wrestling in the early-1970s. They'd work shots for New Japan, and were booked more on the wow factor of their appearance together than any in-ring skills.

Billy died following a motorcycle accident in 1979, but Benny kept on wrestling as much as he could. He even teamed up with Andre The Giant here or there. Things weren't the same though. The McGuire Twins were a double act, and Benny didn't find solo stardom before health problems forced him out of the ring.
