10 Tallest WWE Wrestlers Ever

5. Great Khali (7'1)

One of the most famous giants in all of wrestling and an objective draw in his home nation (in comparison to other attempted pushes of Indian wrestlers), The Great Khali was a success for Vince McMahon's stubbornness, getting every opportunity as a heel monster before ending up falling down the comedic hole like nearly every other man that starts life as a monster working for the company.

A squash win over The Undertaker early into his run did what it was supposed to - the 7'1 star appeared twice the size in status thanks to such an important enhancement victory. From there, he remained relevant for several years before sliding down the card.

Khali's World Heavyweight Title victory in 2007 was seen as a low ebb for the Big Gold Belt, but many forgot that he'd only just come off a programme with John Cena that was rather unexpectedly acclaimed.

Proving himself able to be carried by 'The Champ', he got away with a passable stint against Batista before the novelty completely wore off for the fans and - on evidence of the years he spent after the original run - The Chairman.
