Who are the heaviest WWE wrestlers of all time? When it comes to wrestling, we can all agree that size matters, except for Rey Mysterio who faced and defeated opponents twice as big as him. Wrestling is a sport for the heavyweights, especially WWE, where we have seen the massive superstars tower over their competitors to win matches and titles.

In modern wrestling, we have the likes of Gunther, Omos and Bobby Lashley who are very strong. But are they really giants like their predecessors? Well, read on to find out who are the top ten heaviest WWE wrestlers of all time.

10. Gorilla Monsoon – 440lbs

One of the voices of professional wrestling in the 1980s and 90s, Gorilla Monsoon was also an authority figure in WWE. Many fans know him for his job as a commentator, which makes it easy to forget that he was also a wrestler who fought in the ring several times. Monsoon’s weight varied during his wrestling days, but at his heaviest, he weighed 440lbs.

George Gray is a former professional wrestler better known by his ring name One Man Gang. Weighing 450lbs, he is one of the heaviest WWE wrestlers of all time. One Man Gang spent three decades at WWE where he was Akeem “The African Dream”, a notable dancer who acknowledged his African roots.
