10 Worst Workers In WWE History

2. Jorge Gonzales

Whether wrestling as El Gigante in WCW or as the woefully costumed Giant Gonzales in his mercifully short run in the WWF in 1993, the late Jorge Gonzales was one of the worst wrestlers ever to set foot in the squared circle. Genuine giants like Andre The Giant and the Big Show, for all their occasional faults as performers, at least understood how to play the game. They got professional wrestling: the character work, the way to play the audience, the concept of selling, the drama and pace, as well as the mechanical aspects of how to work. Giants don€™t need to be able to throw a perfect dropkick, or climb to the top. They don€™t need a moveset as vast as Daniel Bryan €“ they don€™t necessarily need to be able to run the ropes, or even move that fast. But, like all pro wrestlers, they need to make what they do and say appear convincing, to allow that first rule of storytelling, the willing suspension of disbelief, to come into play. Billed at eight foot tall, but probably closer to just over 7 foot 7 inches, Gonzales looked clumsy, like he didn€™t know what he was doing next. Most giants can be accused of lumbering without taking anything away from their ability €“ lumbering is, after all, what good giants do. Gonzales mostly just stood in one position and made monster poses, slowly walking from one position to another €“ usually the wrong ones. Whether in shorts versus Ric Flair as El Gigante or in a ridiculous furry bodysuit with airbrushed muscles (to make up for his lack of muscle tone) versus the Undertaker as Giant Gonzales, the Argentian giant moved like a sleepy sack of potatoes, and had the timing of a broken wristwatch.
