I mean, watching Khali tonight, I was wondering how in the hell he gets from arena to arena?
A 7'3", damn near 500 pound guy can't fit on any plane, can he? What car or bus could he fit in?
Same for Big Show, or even old school Yokozuna.
What's the deal?

Earthquake actually answered this question for me when I was going to take my first airplane ride. I'm tall, but nowhere near as tall as him. His answer was:
If you're tall, ask for an exit seat, that will give you extra leg room.

My father also told me I could get a doctor's excuse that would allow me access to aisle and exit seats. Riding in cramped conditions can lead to thrombosis and a pulmonary embolism... which is scientific lingo for a bloot clot that can form in an area, such as a leg, and travel to the heart, possible leadingto a heart attack.

I have this image of a tourist on a plane in economy class, trying to watch the in-flight movie, but can't because Khali's massive height is blocking the screen

I wondered this after the lawsuits floating around about fat people being forced to buy extra seats for their girth. I imagine first class would at least accomodate some people better.

Actually, Khali can be dismantled and stowed in the luggage compartment.

I'm amazed WWE hasn't bought one of those super-tall multi-story airplanes for their tall guys to use. I'm 6'3'' and I hate riding in an airplane because I'm cramped - I can't imagine what it's like for guys like Khali or Big Show.

Andre used to ride in the back of a van and get two seats in a plane (obviously making sure he didn't have an armrest in the middle - ouch!!!)

Slowly, but with a lot of leg and elbow room...I'd imagine.

Alot of those guys do get transport and airfare paid for. This would put most of them in Either large SUVs more than likely to drive and in First class seating, giving them more leg room than if they where in Coach ( bad pun in the waiting I know).
I do agree with WWE just buying some plains simply to transport tallent. They have enough guys that they could just cut some out of pay but offer the tickets to them for little to nothing. Would be a good idea

probably 2 seats. If it's just town to town I'd guess SUV

I wonder what about in hotels? I can't see some of the really tall ones ever fitting into hotel beds. Do they put two beds together? Or do they not even stay in hotels? >.<

I know they put the beds together for Andre, but at that time he was the only one who really required that kind of arrangement.
