    Undertaker. Don't think I can say anything else that hasn't already been said here. Great wrestler especially for his size, great character and gimmick, the Wrestlemania streak etc.

    Undertaker was great. Reinvented himself a gazillion times. Could fly through the air. Was awesome as face or heel and had some outstanding matches. Also, best gimmick of all time probably.

    Outside of being large, Andre was nothing special.

    Undertaker all day long.

    Undertaker. Even though Andre was the original big man his career pales in comparison to Taker's who has had some of the best matches in the company's history. Andre also had very limited capabilities in the ring unlike Taker who could do a vast range of moves.

    Andre has that special aura about him but so does taker tbh

    When you move past that with Andre unless you go back to before most posters here were born Andre wasn't exactly the best in the ring and didn't have too many classics but taker vs HBK, Foley, HHH, Angle etc were all brilliant

    He had the best gimmick ever IMO and with it lead a top stable in the form of the Ministry.

    He had a truly great entrance and reinvented himself brilliantly with the American badass, big evil etc.

    He was for WWF what Sting was for WCW the man who never left and the man who they could rely on.

    I could go on but I think its obvious I'm voting for taker. The best big man ever IMO and tbh I personally would have Vader number 2 not Andre although the big fellah was a legend

    Well Sin é. That is it. One week and boards.ie has determined it's greatest ever big man. I quote Bounty Hunter because I think he has explained to perfection why Undertaker is and might always be the greatest "big man" in the history of the sport. From his fantastic WWE debut to his countless success' in reinventing himself. He really had/has it all.

    How come the ultimate Big Man Brock Lesnar wasn't in this out of interest actually? Just slipped under everyone's radar?

    I wouldnt consider Lesnar a big man, personally.

    Under 300lbs, "only" 6'3.

    Yep pretty much. I stated that it was mainly giants or super heavy weight. I think the 32 I picked were probably perfect. Batista was suggested and tbh I think He was the one guy that was out of place. Big muscle man yeah (like Lesner) but he doesn't have that "Hoss" vibe 99% of the participants have.
