#4 Giant Silva — 7'2"

WWE has always tried to remind fans of how big or tall their wrestlers are by simply adding an adjective to their names. Hailing from Brazil, Giant Silva stood at no less than 7 feet 2 inches tall and weighed 175 kgs.

Silva joined in late 1997 and was made part of the Oddities stable. The Attitude Era WWE Superstar was mostly a cornerman for the Oddities and competed in tag team matches with Golga and Kurrgan. However, he wasn’t booked very strongly and lost most of the matches he competed in.

Giant Silva did not have a long WWE career

The highlight of his career came at Summerslam 1998 when he joined his Oddities partners to defeat Kaientai in a 3 on 4 Handicap match. Just months later, WWE decided to release the giant and began their hunt for a new on-screen giant again.

While Silva will never be remembered for his in-ring skills or time in WWE but will forever continue to make the lists of the tallest wrestlers and athletes in the world.
