The WWE has been home to some of the largest men to step into the world of sports and entertainment. It's right up there with basketball when it comes to having incredibly tall athletes.
Vince McMahon is a massive fan of superstars who are either tall, muscular, or both. These men tend to become favourites of the man who runs the world's premier wrestling promotion and hold an advantage over their smaller counterparts.
Right from the early days of the business when the likes of Andre the Giant and Big John Studd were the biggest names in the business, tall superstars have always been a popular attraction in the world of wrestling.
Professional wrestling today is no different as many massively built men are on the WWE roster. Some of these guys are supremely successful, while others? Not so much.
So, without any further ado, let's dive into our list of 10 tallest current WWE superstars:
#10) Cesaro – 6 ft 5 in
You know you're in for a list of massive athletes when the smallest man on here is Cesaro. The Swiss Superman stands at a more than average 6 feet 5 inches and has a sturdy build that perfectly compliments his height.
One of the most beloved members of the roster, he is currently enjoying a good run as a tag team specialist with fellow European, Sheamus. It's only a matter of time before Cesaro makes a return to the single's division and I hope that Vinny Mac gives him the push he so obviously deserves.
#9) Luke Harper – 6ft 5 in
Speaking of people embarking on single's runs, number 9 on our list is the former member of the Wyatt Family, Luke Harper. Bray Wyatt's former right-hand man is an exceptionally gifted superstar who is set to become one of the breakout stars of 2017.
Harper manages to combine his massive 6 feet 5-inch frame with speed and technique to present the complete wrestling package. It will be interesting to see what direction the WWE takes with the big man in the coming months.
#8) Titus O'Neil – 6 ft 6 in
Remember I said at the start of this list that some of these guys aren't as impressive as their size suggests? Here's Exhibit A: Titus O'Neil. The man with the worst promo skills in the world stands at an intimidating 6 feet 6 inches in height but hardly does anything to use that to his advantage.
Following a terrible 2016, it will be an enormous surprise if Titus can turn things around and make something out of his impressive physical frame. The likelier outcome, though, is that he will either leave the company or continue to struggle in the undercard.
#7) Erick Rowan – 6 ft 8 in
Now we approach the true giants of this list, and we start off with yet another member of the Wyatt Family, Erick Rowan. One of the most underrated members of Bray Wyatt's group, Rowan has been out injured for months but is primed for a return to Smackdown Live.
The 6 foot 8-inch behemoth should find himself allied with Bray Wyatt once again following his return and it'd be good to see him put the whole 6-second fiasco against The Rock at Wrestlemania 32 behind him and start afresh.
#6) Braun Strowman – 6 ft 8 in
Braun Strowman is the breakout star of 2016. The Monster Among Men has improved leaps and bounds over the past year to become one of the most feared forces in the entire WWE.
2017 should be the year that the 6 foot 8 inch Braun makes a run at The Universal Championship
#5) Baron Corbin – 6 ft 8 in
Now we come to Smackdown Live's response to Braun Strowman, Baron Corbin. The Lone Wolf is yet another person who enjoyed a breakout 2016, and he even eliminated Strowman from the 2017 Royal Rumble to establish himself as the more dominant of the two.
Standing at an intimidating 6 feet 8 inches, Corbin looks set to win the Intercontinental Title from Dean Ambrose at Wrestlemania 33 and then use that momentum to kick earn a shot at the WWE title.
#4) The Undertaker – 6 ft 10 in
From the young guns to a true legend of the business, coming in fourth on our list is the legendary Phenom, The Undertaker. The man who has ruled the WWE for the better part of two decades has made great use of his 6-foot 10-inch frame.

Now, in the twilight of his career, we hope Taker get the send off he deserves instead of becoming yet another victim of the WWE's ill-advised push of Roman Reigns.
#3) Kane – 7 ft 0 in
And now we enter the final three and move on to the seven footers amongst the WWE roster. Coming in third on our list is The Undertaker's kayfabe brother, The Big Red Machine – Kane.
The 7-foot tall veteran has been a key fixture in the WWE since his debut back in 1997 and looks set to continue in whatever role is required of him for years to come. Don't expect any massive World Title runs for Kane but always expect him to make an impact when needed.
#2) Big Cass – 7 ft 0 in
If you listen to the spiel Enzo Amore spews every time he comes out to the ring; then you know by know that Big Cass is 7 feet tall and you can't teach that. The big man is easily the best thing about the tag team, and I for one can't wait till he sets off on his own.
Cass is expected to go for a single's career, and it's easy to see why. He can combine his large frame with a quickness that belies his size. The man looks destined for greatness in the WWE.
#1) The Big Show – 7 ft 0 in
We close off this list, with the most predictable of names – The Big Show. The man has been billed as The World's Largest Athlete since his debut in the 1990s, and nothing about that has changed as he remains one of the largest men ever to step foot inside a WWE ring.
Credit to Show, though, as he has recently undergone a massive physical transformation – shedding all the fat and gaining some serious muscle in the process. Regardless of whether he is retiring soon or not, Big Show has made a Hall of Fame career for himself and his size has been his biggest strength.
