On one end of the spectrum, wrestling has lots of guys who look like they were chiseled out of granite. They look like they live at the gym. On the other end, some guys have made a career at wrestling while looking like they live at the dining room table. Yet, a lot of guys have had successful careers by carrying a hundred extra pounds under their spandex. Who was the best?

While Yoko was my favorite, I feel a worthy mention goes to King Mabel/Viscera/Big Daddy V. Somehow that dude maintained a level of quickness that was surprising.

Lots of good choices missing. Off the top of my head Bam Bam Bigelow had one of the best big sets for a guy his size, if not the best. Vader had a great general aura.
Of those named in the poll...not sure who would be the best. I'll say Earthquake had arguably the best psychology of them though and really knew how to work a crowd.

Out of those on the list, definitely Earthquake. Out of all possible options, Bam Bam was way up there.

The first thing that popped in my head was the time Earthquake wrestled Tugboat and they both did dropkicks, blowing Sir Alfred Hayes' mind.

Has to be Yokozuna but like somebody above said, Big Daddy V is Bret underated as a wrestler.

No Crash Holly?? That guy was the hugest heavyweight I'd ever seen! (Man, I still wish WWE had run more with that gimmick!)
Went with Earthquake, although Yokozuna had what looked to be the most devastating leg drop I've ever seen. I swear he about killed Lex Luger when those things every time they wrestled.

From the list, Earthquake.
Not on the list: Bam Bam Bigelow, Crusher Jerry Blackwell (he had an awesome dropkick for a 400 lb man), King Kong Bundy (heat magnet), and Matt Hardy.

Akebono from AJPW is really decent and is pretty fat.
