I'd say between Giant Baba and Andre had the greatest influence on the sport. Andre for making it mainstream and Baba because of his booking abilities.

Andre The Giant is the best giant wrestler to ever step foot into the squared circle. It's too bad that Andre had to pass away so young.

When you think of house hold names...ANYONE in the country, wrestling fan or not, recognizes the name Andre the Giant, so long as they are older than 18..
Andre is a legend and that can't be argued.

Andre was good but really the impact was he made wrestling mainstream though I am sure enough that it would have happened anyway.

I would like to vote Andre, but Show is just a better all around guy.

The only other true giants I can think of are Giant Silva (7'2") and Ron Reese (7'1") both were pretty poor. I think Big Show and andre stand way above the rest.

If Hexus can say Kane, I say The Undertaker. Seeing as Taker is taller than Kane in real life.
But if he doesn't qualify as a giant, I go with Big Show.

It is a tie between Big Show and Andre. As I'm from this era, I have to go with Show, but Andre would definately be my second pick.

The sad part is 80% of the people responding have never seen Andre at his best in the 70's....Big Show has said Andre is the greatest giant of them all....Andre is the greatest giant ever...i would take Big John Stud of Big Slow...
