#8 Haystacks Calhoun
Though not as tall as others on this list -- he was 'only' 6'7"-- Haystacks Calhoun weighed six hundred pounds, and had the strength to match his gargantuan frame.
The Texas native exaggerated his own hillbilly persona to become Haystacks Calhoun. Feuding with legends like Pat O'Connor and teaming with such luminaries as the Brisco Brothers, Calhoun was one of the biggest draws of the fifties and sixties.
He laid the groundwork for a lot of the bigger men to follow him in the sport.
