WCW star P.N. News isn't a fan of Giant Gonzales' WWE Gimmick at all

When asked about working with El Gigante in WCW, News had this to say:

"I think we did a tag. I was his partner. Jorge was a good fella. Really nice guy. Good to talk to. Just good to be around."

#Figureoftheday Jakks Classic superstars Giant Gonzales. This very well could be my favorite Classic superstar figure. Love Giant figures and this one is rad. Loose version I added a fur set which is better than the limited edition fur version. pic.twitter.com/I1meB0K8LK

El Gigante donned a bodysuit when he made his way to WWE from WCW, entering most famously into a feud with The Undertaker. News wasn't a fan of this gimmick:

"Not a fan. Not a fan at all. He didn't have to have a body. He was 7 foot 7. You're not going to put a giant in a body suit. That's ridiculous. I felt like a little kid when I was standing next to him. I was like 6 foot 2 at that time. That's not short."

Giant Gonzales would leave WWE in 1993 once his contract expired and retire from wrestling altogether in 1995.
