When WWE brought in Giant Gonzalez in 1993 to attack The Undertaker we already knew him from WCW as El Gigante. After seeing him look very unimpressive in WCW, one has to wonder what WWE saw in him that made them think: "We better sign that guy." He debuted at the 1993 Royal Rumble simply to attack The Undertaker. What was memorable about Gonzalez was that he wore a full body suit that had muscles painted onto it. That was done because even though he was legitimately 7'6" tall, he was a really skinny guy. This was WWE's way of trying to tell us that he was ripped because his muscles were on his body suit. What a weird business pro wrestling is huh? Gonzalez is actually a part of history because he's the only guy that Undertaker beat at WrestleMania by disqualification. He was DQ'd at WrestleMania 9 for using chloroform to attack Undertaker. They had another really bad match at SummerSlam 1993 that Undertaker won with a clothesline because Gonzalez just wasn't able to do much more than that. He was out of WWE soon after that. It's understandable that Gonzalez wasn't very good at wrestling. It looked like he had trouble walking and wasn't able to bump much at all. That should have been obvious from his WCW run, but WWE decided to give him a try. At least it didn't last too long.
