Top 10 Athletic big men in WWE History

Vince McMahon and his promotion have always loved big men. Professional wrestling was initially considered as a sport for such big men, which is one of the reasons why Vince decided to sign up some guys solely based on their size.When names like the Great Khali and Giant Gonzalez proved to the fans that size is not everything in the squared circle, there were a handful of other wrestlers in WWE who did moves which were well beyond their structure.Seeing these men pull off such moves was an exciting prospect for the fans but apart from all that excitement, they were breaking out of the stereotypes. So here is a look at those men in WWE history who were surprisingly athletic for their size. 

#10 Rikishi

Being a mainstay in the Attitude Era is never a cake walk. The competition levels were at the highest and each wrestler had to evolve at every turn if he had to stay in the spotlight. Rikishi belonged to that category.

When his first gimmick started losing the heat, he morphed into a dancing big Samoan. And while having some impressive dance skills to his name, Rikishi was pretty fast in between the ropes as well.

Rikishi had an impressive sell to a clothesline while there were a lot of other moves in his arsenal that looked almost impossible with his size. He didn’t go on to have a spectacular career like most of his other family members, but he was indeed a good performer.
