My 4 greatest big men are
Andre The Giant
Undertaker
Bruiser Brody
Shohei "Giant" Baba (seeing a 7 ft Japanese wrestler who works like Andre is a unique sight)

Yokozuna was another great big man who had alot of speed and agility for a man his size. Possibly the fastest and most agile big man in the history of wrestling.

Big Men:
Andre the Giant
King Kong Bundy (how did everybody forget him?)
Big John Stud
Almost There:
Abdullah the Butcher
Sid Vicious
Kamala
Uncle Elmer
Earthquake
Current:
Kevin Nash
Big Show
Almost There:
Abysis
*Haystacks Calhoun I never really saw, but from what I heard he would probably be in the mix.
*Brusier Brody definitly had the heart of a Big Man and was physical like any, but simply wasn't a big man.
*Undertaker is not a big man, he is not a powerhouse like the others.

 I always liked King Kong Bundy and actually met him at a indy show where he wrestled Buddy Landell. Abdullah the Butcher is another big man I really like he was at the same show and put on a really brutal match with Rick Link.

Yeah, Bundy seems really cool, I actually saw him Wrestle once 3 years ago at an Indy show 10 minutes away (Sandman was there too). I took some pics too even. And if people don't think he's a big man, then try to get in the way of his "Avalanche", lol.
Abdullah was the true "One Man Wrecking Crew", with Bruiser Brody not far behind. I have a tape of rare Abdullah matches mostly from Puerto Rico and overseas, lol, he kills and destroys people, he was unstoppable, lol. In one match the crowd even got into it a little bit because he was going nuts and they were trying to control him, Abdullah too swings at some of them and hit a few, lol, this was against Carlos Colon on his home turf. Lol, great match.

Yeah Bundy is a monster of a man and if that avalanche hits you its over. Abdullah is really brutal I love seeing him wrestle and he tore Link up that night with that fork LOL. Thats actually one match Id like to see Bundy vs Butcher.

Hmm, that would be interesting Bundy vs Butcher, good idea, lol.
Butcher vs Andre was decent and unusual, I saw that and have it on tape. 2 Giants, a rare incounter too.

I wouldn't call Sid a powerhouse. He had trouble picking up Luger on a couple of occasions. |
