5 Big men in WWE History that 'sold' well

Undertaker

Vince McMahon has always been fond of big men. Throughout the course of the company, Vince has pushed giants. Some of them ended up being successful ventures while others, bombed quickly. A major problem that big men faced in WWE is the prejudice with which the fans see them. These superstars are often tagged as dominating wrestlers. This in turn overshadows their athleticism and selling side.

Even though it is one of the most basic lessons of being a wrestler, the art of selling does not come to every superstar just like that. But certain big men have learned it beyond expectations. With that said, here is a look at some of the ‘Big Men’ in WWE history who know to sell well.

 

Rikishi

The Hall of Famer, Rikishi was one of WWE’s major names in Attitude Era. He was part of some crucial mid card feuds back then and gave us a lot of memorable moments. His drop from the top of the Cell is still iconic among the fan base.

Rikishi moved between the ropes like a lightning bolt for a man of his size. His dance moves were impressive to be frank, but it was Rikishi’s ability to sell certain moves that stood out. Clothesline, in particular, tops the list.

Rikishi would perform a good turn in the air while taking vicious clotheslines. Someone of his size selling like that was a sight that inspired awe. The Samoan also had some impressive selling skills for other moves as well.
