10 Tallest WWE Wrestlers Ever
6. The Big Show (7'0)
So big that he was initially drafted in as Andre The Giant’s son, The Big Show’s seven-foot stature mirrored Andre’s thanks to their shared acromegaly diagnosis. He came the closest to receiving a similar push when he began working for Vince McMahon in 1999.
Bruce Prichard and others relayed the story of McMahon looking on as Wight dominated WCW Nitro in the mid-1990s pledging to serve him better than the Atlanta organisation could, but a clunky 20-year tenure doesn’t exactly present a perfect record.
Despite his height advantage over nearly every opponent he’s ever faced, Show’s often been booked to look stupider or weaker than his foes. A confirmation and contradiction to the rule about McMahon treatment of men his size, Show’s range has been his undoing. Cast as a destroyer in WWE’s 2006 ECW reinvention (when, oddly enough, he was briefly out of McMahon’s line of sight) and again Chris Jericho forcibly steered him away from comedy during their 2010 pairing, the often-beleaguered Big Show is always best when he’s angry, even if he understandably might not really have that particular fire in his belly anymore.
