* The most famous, of course, is the late [[Andre the Giant]], billed by [[WWE]] as the Eighth Wonder of the World. His most famous match was against [[Hulk Hogan]] at ''[[Wrestlemania]] 3''.
** Subverted by the fact that Andre was actually a moderately skilled Greco-Roman wrestler, and was [[Lightning Bruiser|frighteningly quick in his youth]], but said most famous match was from later in his life when chronic health problems had badly slowed him.
** [[Street Fighter|Hugo]] [[Final Fight|Andore]], being a near-[[Expy]] of Heel-era André, exhibits next to no finesse in his attacks compared to other grapplers. The same thing can be seen on [[Heel|Raiden]] from ''[[Fatal Fury]]'' and ''[[The King of Fighters]]''. Conversely, T. Hawk, who may actually be even larger than Hugo, is a very agile and technical fighter who prefers quick aerial maneuvers to grappling.
