Ranking the top 5 tallest wrestlers in WWE history

The WWE has had its fair share of tall wrestlers in the past. Some have gone on to become world champions while others have gone into oblivion. Since the WWE is such a big brand worldwide, these tall wrestlers instantly became heroes among the fanbase and have gone on to achieve super stardom.

Wrestlers like Big Show, Andre The Giant and Kane etc, come to mind when we think of some of the tallest wrestlers but there have been others as well that towered over the aforementioned trio. In this article, we will take a look at some of the tallest wrestlers to ever step foot inside a WWE ring.

1. Giant Gonzales (8 feet)

Giant Gonzales was the tallest man to ever wrestle in the WWE. He hailed from Argentina and was genuinely terrifying. Because of his height, Gonzales had an aura around that frankly no one else did during that time. To put things in perspective, he was one foot taller than The Big Show. Now that is something. He was not a very good in ring performer but he still managed to have some memorable matches. He had an epic match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania 9 that Taker won via disqualification after Gonzales used chloroform to knock out Taker.

2. Andre The Giant (7 feet 4 inches)

The eighth wonder of the world, Andre The Giant was a freak of nature. He took the world by storm because of his physique and it’s not hard to see why the fans fell in love with him. Andre was a great wrestler and had many great matches. He wrestled all around the world from NJPW to WWE. Andre also lifted the coveted World Championship during his time in the company and his matches with Hulk Hogan will live long in the memory of passionate wrestling fans.

3. Omos (7 feet 3 inches)

Omos is a newbie in the WWE and had a great impact as soon as he made his way. He was paired with AJ Styles and that helped elevate himself to a higher level. He is also a great wrestler as was proven in his match against Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 38. Given that he is only 28 years old, Omos or the Nigerian Giant as he is fondly known is bound to be a success in the WWE and given his enormous potential, sky is the limit.

4. The Great Khali (7 feet 1 inch)

The Great Khali put the entire WWE universe on notice when he not only went after The Undertaker but knocked him out cold on his very first night in the company. Since then, Khali has gone on to achieve great things and even has a match named after him. Khali won the World Heavyweight championship once and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021.

5. Big Show (7 feet)

Giants in WWE are synonymous with Big Show. Big Show was such a character he captured everyone’s imagination. He was not only 7 feet tall but also weighed 500 pounds at one time and that only helped strengthen the aura around him. Big Show is a four time WWE champion and is also the 12th grand slam champion in WWE history. He now works for AEW as a part time wrestler and commentator.
