10 Most Believable Superstars In WWE History

4. André The Giant

Yet another Hulkamania era talent, André The Giant was probably the easiest wrestler for fans to believe in - simply by looking at him.

André was a legit giant due to a disorder known as acromegaly, in which the body continues to produce growth hormone well after it should. André was able to use it to his advantage in the world of professional wrestling, but unfortunately, it resulted in the French native passing away at the young age of 46. During his time in pro-wrestling, however, nobody was more believable than the Eighth Wonder of the World.

His 400+ lb. frame, giant-sized hands and feet, and standing as a legit 7 footer allowed fans to believe that Andre could do anything he wanted to with anyone he stepped in the ring with. Add to this his unique, monster-like voice, and the facial features that made him appear other-worldly (again, attributed to acromegaly), and Andre The Giant became one of the largest draws ever in professional wrestling.

People literally bought into Andre The Giant. Without this strong credibility, the largest event in WWF history, WrestleMania III, likely wouldn't have had the impact we remember it for today.
