André Was Not The Tallest Pro Wrestler Ever
Two lesser known performers were taller–though their careers were much shorter and less memorable.
“Silo Sam” (Sam Harris) was 7 feet 8 inches tall, was briefly in the AWA and wrestled for WWF under the name “Trapper John” in 1990.
“Giant Gonzalez” was 7 feet 6 inches tall and wrestled for the WCW as “El Gigante” after being cut by the Atlanta Hawks in the early 90s then as Giant Gonzalez for the WWE in 1992.
