I wonder why that site would lie then. 'Takers's age has been disputed for years, it's not a case of who's "lying" I guess it's who believes what. Until Mr. Calaway confirms his ow age, nobody is 100% certain. Back on topic, Giant Gonzales was way before my time but I'll never forget watching his match with Undertaker at Wrestlemania on the internet back in 2001, It was just so strange to see a person tower over 'The Deadman" like that. I thought he was doing good too, there was a feature on him not that long ago. RIP.

Those were all wrestlers 6'10" and over. Khali is 38. Big Show is 38. Kane is 42. Undertaker is 48. So I don't know if it is just coincidence that they died and were tall or if their being tall hindered them and lead to an early death. If it is the latter than the last 4 I listed better watch out. kane and taker are not over 6'10, both are 6'7 range, taker was clearly shorter than kevin nash for example during nash's diesel run those wrestlers deaths are partly due to size but also partly due to lifestyle, very rare to see an extremely tall nba star like manute bol, shawn bradley or chuck nevitt die at 40 andre ate and drank himself to death until his heart was so overworked it killed him, like yokozuna, haystacks got cancer giant silva is still alive at 48, ron reis who played the yeti in wcw is around 39 i believe, john harris (silo sam) also died youngish

Holy crap Really did like him, but I know he'd been struggling for a bit.

RIP Big Man. It was funny when GG fought Hulk Hogan on Thunder in Paradise.

It's easy for us as adults or even kids to be smarks and say they guy was terrible in the ring, however, back in 1993 I was a kid and work rate didn't mean poop to me. GG was a huge impressive monster and that's how I'll remember him. RIP, to a class act that left an impression on this kid
