You'd be hard pressed mentioning Big Daddy without also bringing Giant Haystacks into the equation. The super-sized pair began in a Heel tag team with each other, portraying brutal super-heavyweight Heels, they eventually split, and whilst Big Daddy went onto become a Blue Eye, Haystacks remained a sadistic, larger than life villain. Much like his former tag partner Martin Austin Ruane never quite grasped the eccentricities of technical wrestling or a high-flying approach, and was more comfortable leaping a few inches into the air and dropping an elbow on his prone opponents. And sometimes even that seemed a tall task for the billed 685lb mammoth of a man. Existing in the same time as a few ring greats, his bashing-and-thrashing-like-a-beached-orca style looked all the worse for it, the most shocking part of a Haystacks match was usually the worry experienced by those in the front row as they saw the ropes tense under his pressure when he bounced off them. Nevertheless, Giant Haystacks remains one of the biggest names, and biggest stars in general ever to climb into a ring. Even if he did need a bit of help to, from time to time.
