Jorge “Giant” Gonzales, who at 7-7 was the tallest known pro wrestler in history, passed away last week in his native Argentina. Gonzales, who suffered from diabetes and other health issues stemming from his height, was 44.
Gonzales, who was a basketball star in Argentina before being drafted by the Atlanta Hawks, worked in WCW as El Gigante from 1990-93. He competed briefly in WWE in 1993 as Giant Gonzales.
