The Heaviest Wrestlers Of All Time — Ranked By Real Weight

Wrestling has always had room for giants, but some of these men didn't just look big on television, their real, documented weights were almost impossible to believe for athletes competing multiple nights a week. This video ranks the heaviest wrestlers ever to step into a ring, counted down by their actual recorded weight rather than how big they looked on camera. In this video, we cover: One Man Gang — 465 pounds, later reinvented as Akeem the African Dream Earthquake (John Tenta) — 468 pounds with a legitimate sumo background Viscera (Mabel) — 500 to 525 pounds, and a King of the Ring winner Haystacks Calhoun — 601 pounds in wrestling's territory era King Kong Bundy — 458 pounds and the infamous five-count demand Giant Gonzalez — 520 pounds at seven feet seven inches tall Big Show — 529 pounds, WWE's heaviest officially confirmed performer Andre the Giant — billed at 520 pounds, reportedly closer to 650 at his heaviest Yokozuna — climbing from 505 to a reported 641 pounds over his career Emmanuel Yarbrough — 704 pounds, a Guinness World Record for heaviest living athlete What's easy to forget watching these men move around a ring is just how much force their bodies were generating with every step, every rope run, and every fall to the mat, night after night.
