Here are the #6 through #2 Giants of All-Time

6) Big John Studd
Before Studd had memorable feuds against Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan, he challenged Ric Flair for the NWA World Title. In addition to singles career success, Studd formed big-time tag-teams with King Kong Bundy and Killer Kowalski in his early career. Studd also won the 1989 Royal Rumble upon his return to the WWF.


5) Ernie Ladd
During the 1970’s, Ernie Ladd became one of the most hated heels in all of Pro-Wrestling. Nicknamed the “Big Cat”, Ernie was a former AFL and NFL star. Ladd went on to feud Bruno Sammartino and Andre the Giant. His taped thumb became a well known gimmick.


4) Killer Kowalski
Kowalski wrestled from the late 1940’s through the 1970’s. He was one of the most hated villains of his time. Killer had major feuds with Bruno Sammartino and was one of the first men to ever pin Andre the Giant. Kowalski went on to become a top trainer including training stars like HHH and Big John Studd

.
3) Giant Baba
Trained under the famed Rikidozan, Baba became one of the greatest wrestlers in the history of Japanese Pro-Wrestling. He reached early fame as a tag-team champion with Antonio Inoki. Baba was the first Japanese wrestler to hold the NWA title. He went on to form All Japan Pro Wrestling which became one of Japan’s most successful promotions of all-time.


2) The Undertaker
“The Phenom”, is probably the most athletically gifted big-men in the ring. His signature entrances and demonic characteristics have garnished him immortality in Pro-Wrestling. Undertaker’s undefeated streak for WrestleMania will never be duplicated.
