There are many catagories of wrestlers in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The cruiserweights (Rey Mysterio), Heavyweights (Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena) and then there are the Super Heavyweights, also known as the Giants. Throughout wrestling history the giant wrestlers have always been a hot commodity and wrestling fans have seen their fair share of good and bad giant wrestlers. It is now time to separate the best from the worst and see what makes a truly great "Big" wrestler.

Giant Gonzales: Starting with some of the worst giants in the ring, this mammoth superstar, like many others, had the title right in his name. Never mind wrestling skills, Giant Gonzales's ring gear was his worst offense. His outfit consisted of a full body suit with an airbrushed body painted on it and patches of fur all over. The man was big enough; the fur did not need to be added in for any effect. A horrible wrestler, his greatest moment was facing the Undertaker at Wrestlemania IX where he lost to a disqualification.

Bastion Booger: Huge, greasy, nasty, and with Booger in his ring name, you knew this wrestler was not going far and he did not. An embarrassment to big wrestlers everywhere, Bastion Booger quickly came and left the scene in the mid-1990s.

Great Khali: If you though that Giant Gonzales was a bad wrestler, then you have not seen the Great Khali in action. Head-butt, punch, kick, raises arm. You do not get much more from one of the biggest WWE superstars ever, and his size alone is the only thing used to impress people.

Andre The Giant: The Great Khali wished he possessed the ring skills that the legend Andre the Giant has. He was one of WWE's original Giant wrestlers and could put on a great match with anybody and any size. He has had classics with Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Hulk Hogan, and a memorable cage match with Kamala. All three of those men were of different size and Andre competed well against all of them.

Good choices. I mentioned in a recent article that the Undertaker is my favorite giant. I also liked Yokozuna if we're talking giants as far as width and not just height.
