10 Tallest WWE Wrestlers Ever
4. Giant Silva (7'2)
Giant Silva's height was, unfortunately, his undoing. Unlike just about every other mammoth performer in company history, his size was seen as a detriment rather than a benefit.
Positioned as an "Oddity" alongside Luna Vachon, the aforementioned Kurrgan and John 'Earthquake' Tenta's masked Golga persona, Giant Silva was a squash merchant for the group as long as they were in there with other comedy acts, but a squashed entity otherwise.
Gimmicks aside, Silva the polar opposite of an Andre The Giant-type megastar - he existed in the wrong time for his talents to be effectively exploited.
Silva couldn't really talk (or emote at all, despite seemingly being given the usual "big smiles out there" edict), but was cast as a dancing fool alongside the rest of the gang whilst WWE didn't really need somebody of his stature.
In Stone Cold Steve Austin, the company had a central figure that felt ten foot tall even if he was a mere 6'2. As The Big Show himself learned when he joined the company in 1999, no giant was immune from a Stone Cold Stunner to bring them down to earth, and Silva wasn't half the performer of a Paul Wight.
