8. Yokozuna
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jPt5Ofxcxc Yokozuna wasn't actually a Japanese Sumo Champion, although something tells me he could have been. However he was a Samoan Wrestling Champion. At 589 lbs Yokozuna made a splash into the world of wrestling. A Banzai Splah to be specific. Winning the WWF Championship not once but twice. First in Wrestle Mania IX against Bret Hart and then again at King of the Ring versus Hulk Hogan. He was deceptively athletic and agile for a man his size. Yokozuna had a lot of skill in the ring, using a variety of slams and supplexes which were given even more emphasis because of his size. Sadly his weight finally caught up to him at only the age of 34 after reaching 800 lbs he passed away as a result of a pulmonary edema.
