Dont know how i got into all this, but i thought about the giants of wrestling, and i hoped andre v gonzalez happened but it didnt  andre left before gonzalez came in  who would have like to have seen this maybe?  With Andre 7-4, Gonzalez 7-7, Show 7-1, Khali 7-1, (with gonzalez promoted and 8 ft and khali 7-3) who was the best WRESTLING giant out of these 4 wwf titans!  Feel free top include Giant silva aswell but whith giant baba being only 6-10 i wouldnt include him and i somewhat question the name giant if kane and taker and even nash (all on top of my head) being the same height.  |

I really wouldn't have liked to see it. Big guys have their place in wrestling, but against each other generally isn't the place for it. These guys aren't the most mobile, and have a good match when they are against someone who can bump well for them. It just wouldn't have worked - particularly in Andre v Gonzalez, with Gonazlez being as horrible a worker as he was, and Andre in the shape he was.

Giant Silva is the same height as Great Khali.
And if you honestly believe Andre is 7'4, then you certainly think Hogan is about 7'1.

Tall Guy vs Tall Guy matches are always horrendous.

Its all about the spectacle when 2 giants meet, its like Andre vs Big Show fantasy match, in truth it'd be horrendous.
Ron Reiss/Yeti was 7'1 and stunk too.

Big Show is the best big man ATHLETE of all time.
Andre understood what made a good match better than any of them though.
