Bam Bam Bigeloe, Rikishi, Vader, Yoko in his debut year, Earthquake, The Giant, Kevin Nash, Undertaker,
and Umaga was a dynamo

While we're mentioning Umaga, his former tag team partner Rosey supposedly could do a lionsault. Check out from 3.58 in this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=X84AbITeY5M His top rope moonsault thing is beautiful. That whole video is great. At 2:10, is that Vader doing a DROPKICK?! Also, it reminded me how much I liked Albert. Yes, I was an Albert fan even before he became Giant Bernard. His short stint as John Cena's bodyguard was neat.

At one point the AWA was like a safe haven for the agile big man. Blackwell, Adonis, Playboy Buddy Rose, a pre-Vader Leon White, a young Yokozuna (can't quite remember his AWA name, was it Kokina Maximus or something like that?). They may not have all been in at the same time, but the AWA seemed to always have two or three talented big guys around.

I know TNA has ruined him, but Abyss was/perhaps still is a darn good big guy, wrestling-wise, plenty agile when he's not being stuck in barbed wire weapons cage of doom christmas tree matches.

The Undertaker's planchas always amazed me.

No love for Carl Oullete? Sure he wasn't as bulky as Bam Bam or some of the others, but the guy could certainly go in the ring considering his bulk and the fact he only had one eye.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Bell DeMott, AKA Hugh Morrus. His moonsault was no laughing matter. EDIT: Wait, someone did, before me. Oh, well.

The Headhunters impressed me during their match at the IWA-Japan King of the Deathmatch tournament show in 1995. Anyone who's seen it will know what I mean.

I thought Barry "Bull" Buchanan, no slouch in the big man agility department himself (he played basketball in college) was Cena's bodyguard.
