WWE knew what they were getting with Giant Gonzalez, or at least anybody within the company that had seen El Gigante work over 200 matches for World Championship Wrestling in the two years before his 1993 signing,

Jorge Gonzalez was very very tall, and after he'd outlived his usefulness in Atlanta, a Vince McMahon who couldn't rely on artificially-sized wrestlers quite as much instead looked towards those with natural gifts. The timing suited everybody too - Gonzalez was an upgrade as the monster-of-the-week for The Undertaker after he'd spent 1992 dispatching Jake Roberts, Sid (sort of), The Berzerker and Kamala.

A Royal Rumble debut created the space for a WrestleMania match, but there was still no hiding such milquetoast offence from a man so massive. As with his WCW stint, the matches were so rotten that it was virtually impossible to buy what the company was trying to sell. Gonzalez came across like such a lovely fella too - the person behind the persona always seemed more suited to soaking up cheers rather than trying to harness cartoonish heat.
