Size has its advantages when it comes to professional sports. In the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), different wrestlers have made their names in the arena for various reasons. It could be their physique, talent or persona. Even gimmicks such as The Brood's Vampire-Gothic or The Undertaker's supernatural antics made them stand out.

Others have been known to literally tower above the rest and show great fits of strength. These wrestlers are renowned giants in the WWE. With a combination of height, size and strength, they have used it to obliterate opponents on many occasions. It has not been surprising to see squash matches when these guys are involved.

He has been responsible for some of the most epic WWE scenes in modern sports entertainment. He is known for showing inhuman strength be it flipping ambulances and vehicles or bringing down an entire metallic stage set on opponents.

As much as Brock Lesnar is the most dominant force in WWE today, Strowman has been booked to physically dominate Lesnar in promos just to add to his credentials. His star has risen since he broke out of the Wyatt Family and is one of the few men who can be a serious challenger to Lesnar's Universal title.

At the moment, he is one of the most beloved stars in the WWE. His running powerslam finisher is considered devastating and has put away opponents. Strowman has shown his strength by easily lifting fellow big men Big Show, Kane and Baron Cobin at will. It comes as no surpsise that he holds several records in WWE.

These include: the most single Royal Rumble eliminations at 13 and most eliminations in a single Elimination Chamber match at five.

Just by his ring name, one can deduce that Paul White also commonly known as Big Show is a large man. He is billed at 7 feet tall and weighs over 400 pounds. He is a 20-year veteran with the WWE.

Over the years, he has undergone various body transformations. However, what has stood out has been his size and ability to easily dominate opponents. Big Show has also prevailed against big opponents such as The Great Khali and Kane.

He is one of the few men to have physically manhandled the Undertaker on many occasions. He has been the biggest sell as a giant in the WWE. He is a team player who knows how to put others over and sell finishers.

He has an array of moves that can easily earn him a win. Even from the start of the match, Big Show can use his big fist to land the highly effective KO punch. Like most big men, his signature move is the chokeslam which has laid waste to many over the years.

The Punjabi nightmare made his presence felt from the go in 2006. He went after the most feared competitor at the time; The Undertaker. The dead man was brought to his knees on Khali's debut to represent his future push as a dominant heel. This was one shocked the WWE universe as he went ahead to easily beat down Taker in following encounters.

This Indian giant of a man went to win a lot of squash matches and handicap matches as there was no real competition for him. He would attack wrestlers at will with no one really capable of keeping him in check. He has enormous hands that he would use to perform a double-handed chokeslam, Khali choke or head chop for victories.

Khali went on to decimate then WWE Champion John Cena in a non-title match. Many of his early matches proved to be squash matches. It was not long before he was World Heavyweight champion. The Great Khali's height was billed at 7 ft 1 and 350 pounds, he is one of the tallest men in professional wrestling history.
