The Undertaker after losing to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX

3-0 Giant Gonzalez (WrestleMania IX)

The tallest man to ever step foot in the WWE

2-0 became 3-0 when The Undertaker beat the 8 foot tall (in reality 7’7”) Giant Gonzalez by DQ at WrestleMania IX in Las Vegas in 1993. This was also the only instance at WrestleMania in which the Deadman won a match via DQ as Gonzalez knocked out Taker using Chloroform.

Later that year, Gonzalez left the company just 10 months after his WWF debut and moved to New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and WAR (Wrestle and Romance), where he had his final match in 1995.

He was forced to retire from professional wrestling due to serious health issues and returned home to Argentina, where he lived on a ranch and was confined to a wheelchair in 2009. In 2010, Gonzalez passed away at the age of 44, after struggling a lot due to diabetes and severe heart issues.

Bundy was a legendary big man

King Kong Bundy was the man who gave The Undertaker his fourth straight victory at the grandest stage of them all. Bundy was pinned by The Undertaker after a bodyslam followed by a flying clothesline at WrestleMania XI in 1995.
