Big men have been a part of professional wrestling for many years. Some of these big wrestlers have been very successful and have been respected by wrestling fans, while others have been more of a laughingstock and were never able to accomplish much.

During the 1950s and 1960s a wrestler by the name of Happy Humphrey competed. Humphrey was the heaviest professional wrestler of all time. Although his weight was sometimes disputed, he averaged about 750 pounds, sometimes weighing in at more than 800, or even going above 900 pounds. Happy Humphrey once wrestled a bear for 28 minutes and was a frequent opponent for Haystacks Calhoun. In fact, he had a modified 1951 Pontiac to transport him around, and that car was once driven by a young Harley Race.

Several big men did not make this list because they fell shy of the 400 pound requirement. All of these men managed to win championships, even if it was not in the WWE. Their size and strength helped make them feared in the eyes of their opponents and immortalized them as some of the best, and especially heaviest, wrestlers in recent memory.

11. One Man Gang

George Gray actually had two separate gimmicks during his time in the WWF: the One Man Gang, and Akeem, the African Dream. At 6’9” and close to 500 pounds, he wrestled for about 10 years before finally making it to the big leagues. One Man Gang was a rule breaker under the tutelage of his manager Slick. In a strange turn of events, Gang embraced his supposed African roots and changed his character to that of Akeem, where he became known as one half of the Twin Towers with the Big Boss Man. Although he did not hold any titles in the WWF, One Man Gang won the WCW United States Championship in 1995 as part of the Dungeon of Doom.

10. Big Daddy V

Nelson Frazier Jr. wrestled under several gimmicks including Big Daddy V, Viscera, and Mabel. As Mabel, the 6’9” 487 pounder won the 1995 King of the Ring and was part of the tag team Men On a Mission, who won the WWF Tag Team Championship. Viscera also won the WWF Hardcore Championship and was a part of the new ECW. During his career he was both a fan favorite and a hated rule breaker. Viscera passed away early at 43 years old and had his final match in Qatar in 2013.
