Line 25:
* The obvious example in British wrestling was Giant Haystacks, briefly known as The Loch Ness Monster in the USA.
** There was also Big Daddy, a thirty-stone Yorkshireman christened Shirley Crabtree by a father who had listened to a lot of Johnny Cash and approved of the principles underlying the naming of sons.
* Just try to stop [[WWE]] from using these. In addition to Big Show, they've currently got [[Mark Henry]], The Great Khali, Undertaker, and [[Wrestler/Kane (wrestling)|Kane]]. Of course, relative to the WWE's size, that number's fairly conservative.
** Of course, [[The Undertaker]] is arguably one of the very best big man wrestlers ever, [[Wrestler/Kane (wrestling)|Kane]] has always been solid—in his prime he could do hurricanranas, and [[Mark Henry]] was pretty mobile in the 90s and worked to improve in 2005.
* This trope isn't restricted to men's wrestling, either. On the women's side of things, we have:
** Victoria, a WWE Diva who had quite a brutal streak for a few years (her "Widow's Peak" finisher looking legitimately dangerous) before turning into a generic heel, and then a generic face; she eventually jumped ship to [[TNA]], where she competes as Tara.
