6 heaviest WWE Superstars of all time

The business of professional wrestling, let alone WWE, has always welcomed heavyweight superstars. Several 'giants' have graced Vince McMahon's promotion over the years.

Legends of the past like Andre The Giant, Yokozuna, Giant Gonzales, King Kong Bundy, Viscera, and others were complete behemoths who struck fear in the hearts of their opponents. Few heavyweights like Otis, Omos and Commander Azeez are continuing the legacy on the current roster.

Their extra weight helps these superstars generate brute force, giving them the edge over their opponents. In this article, we look at the six heaviest WWE Superstars of all time:

#6 Former WWE Superstar - King Kong Bundy - 458 lbs

The late King Kong Bundy was one of the most decorated superstars in WWE.

Billed at 458 pounds, the 'Walking Condominium' dominated the company from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s. He had some epic feuds with WWE legends Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker at WrestleMania. In 1985, he also had a great rivalry with the late Andre The Giant, culminating in a 'Colossal Jostle' at Madison Square Garden.

In 1995, Bundy left WWE and competed on various independent circuits until 2007. Apart from wrestling, The giant was also an actor and a stand-up comedian.

#5 Former WWE Superstar - Giant Gonzales - 460 lbs

Standing at a whopping 460 pounds, the late Giant Gonzales was a complete freak of nature.

He debuted in WWE in 1993 and had memorable feuds with one of the greatest superstars in the business, The Undertaker. The two giants locked horns at WrestleMania 9 AND SummerSlam 1993. Gonzalez lost on both occasions.

He left WWE in October 1993 to wrestle in NPJW and WAR (Wrestle and Romance). Gonzalez finally retired from the squared circle in 1995 due to serious health issues. Outside of wrestling, he was a basketball player and an actor.

#4 Former World Tag Team Champion - Earthquake - 468 lbs

The late Earthquake was undoubtedly one of the most powerful superstars to step foot in WWE.

At an impressive 468 pounds, this behemoth first captured the attention of the WWE Universe in 1989 when he squashed the late Hall of Famer Ultimate Warrior. Earthquake also feuded with legends like Hulk Hogan and Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

In late 1991, he teamed up with his partner and real-life friend Typhoon to form The Natural Disasters. One of the most dominant tag teams in the history of WWE, they soared to glory by beating Money, Inc. in 1992.

The giant was undoubtedly impressive in the ring. At 42, Earthquake, unfortunately, passed away in 2006 after a lengthy battle with bladder cancer.

#3 Former WWE King of the Ring winner - Viscera - 487 lbs

Whether he competed as Viscera, Big Daddy V, or Mabel, the 487-pound giant was always one of the most intimidating superstars in WWE.

The late Nelson Frazier Jr. first rose to the limelight under the name Mabel when he won the World Tag Team Championship in 1994 as part of Men on a Mission. In 1995, he gained fame as a singles star by winning the King of the Ring tournament. During this time, he had memorable feuds with The Undertaker and Diesel.

In 1999, he became a member of The Phenom's Ministry of Darkness as Viscera. Frazier would finally reveal his third character of Big Daddy V in 2007, feuding with superstars like The Boogeyman and Tommy Dreamer.

WWE Hall of Famer, the late Andre The Giant, was one of the biggest superstars to step foot in the squared circle.

His feud with fan-favorite Hulk Hogan was simply epic. The giant became a former WWE Champion and a World Tag Team Champion.

Boasting such laurels, WWE legend The Undertaker rightfully named this Hall of Famer in his Mount Rushmore of Wrestling.

#1 WWE Hall of Famer - Yokozuna - 589 lbs

The late Yokozuna was one of the most imposing superstars WWE has seen.

Since his debut in 1992, this 589-pound-giant has had some memorable matches against Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, and, most notably, The Undertaker.
