10 Worst Big Men In WWE History

2. Giant Silva

The man known as Giant Silva was originally a basketball player that is 7'2" tall and weighs about 375 pounds. WWE signed him in 1998 when he was in his mid-30s and he decided to give wrestling a try. You would think that a man of that size would be used as some evil heel that had a manager talking for him because that's what we were used to seeing. Instead he was part of the comedy Oddities stable that really didn't accomplish much in WWE. Giant Silva looked so out of place in WWE when he was there in 1998-99. While the roster was full of interesting storylines and characters, here was this giant guy that could barely move or do anything that was part of the roster with no real role at all. It says a lot about him that he never got a push in WWE. It wasn't just because WWE's roster was loaded with talent. It was because Silva was so limited at everything. He could barely move, wasn't able to bump well at all and he had no charisma either. When his WWE career ended, he actually went on to Japan to work for New Japan Pro Wrestling where he actually teamed with and wrestled against The Great Khali. He also worked for Hustle and Pride as well where he dabbled in MMA. His MMA record was an unimpressive 2-6, which showed that just because a guy was big he wasn't a very good fighter.
