WWE has had some of the biggest and tallest wrestlers in the history of sports and entertainment

WWE is home to some of the most impressive athletes in the world. While some are known for their incredible move set others are just giants in the ring who dominate their opponents.

WWE has had some of the tallest and biggest athletes in the history of sports and entertainment. While some of them have had a great run in WWE winning several titles, others haven’t been all that great.

Nevertheless, WWE does push their taller and bigger stars more than others and here is a list of the tallest stars to have appeared in WWE.

6) Kane, Big Show and Big Cass – 7’0”

There are three wrestlers who are tied at a height of 7’0”. Kane, the Big Show and Big Cass all have had some great moments in their WWE careers, however, Cass and Kane aren’t part of WWE at the moment.

Kane and Big Show have won numerous titles during their time in the promotion while Cass was expected to be the next big thing.

Kane has been the most destructive during his time amongst the three but it is interesting that Show is now a regular on TV these days.

5) The Great Khali – 7’1”

The Great Khali was one of the top stars in WWE and one of the handful Indian stars to ever make it into WWE.

Standing tall at 7’1”, Khali towered over most of his rivals. He is a former WWE Champion and while he didn’t have the most explosive move set, his strength and power made up for that.

The Indian had a great couple of years in WWE but the Punjabi Nightmare hasn’t been seen near a wrestling ring for a long time.

Nevertheless, there are some great stories about Khali, with even Undertaker sharing one of them.

4) Giant Silva – 7’2”

Giant Silva was a member of the Oddities faction but he didn’t do much during his time in WWE. While the giant didn’t have a lot to celebrate in WWE, he does earn the distinction of being one of the tallest and biggest WWE stars ever to have featured in the ring.

3) Jordan Omogbehin – 7’3”

Jordan Omogbehin might not be a name people would know about now, but watch out for this rising star.

The NXT recruit is still going through the paces in the performance center. However, the 7’3” star has already featured in a couple of Raw episodes and even in a PPV.

Omogbehin is the tall ninja that is appearing alongside Akira Tozawa. We haven’t seen the former basketball player in the ring yet, but he has appeared on Backlash and a few other shows as well.

2) Andre the Giant – 7’4”

There really isn’t anything extra to be written about Andre the Giant that most people don’t know.

The WWE star is a legend in the business and a WWE Hall of Famer too. Andre was incredible in the ring and called the Eighth Wonder of the World at times.

Andre passed away in 1993 but that doesn’t take away what all the Frenchman achieved in WWE.

He had some of the biggest matches in WWE history and is still talked about by most in the promotion.

1) Giant Gonzales – 8’0”

Towering in at an incredible 8’0”, Giant Gonzales was an Argentine basketball player that switched it all around to move into WWE. He made his name during the 90s and was even seen in WCW.

While Gonzales is the tallest WWE wrestler of all time and even wrestled the Undertaker. The Argentine would wear a body jumpsuit and was one of the talked about stars during his time.

However, he was unable to cement his name in WWE in terms of titles and accomplishments but being the tallest WWE star ever is something that cannot be taken away, for now.
