Bam Bam Bigelow. And before naybody says 'You're only saying that cause he died', well, I have actually stated it on here numerous times long before his passing. He could brawl, power wrestle, bump, and do moves that even some cruiserweights can't do. Plus he reeked charisma and intensity. He may not have been the best on the mic but he had the aura of a star.

How about a legdrop from the top rope to the outside on the announce table? UT did that once. That's not really that hard, that's just falling on your ass. I could do that. It had more to do with distance and height. UT jumped really far, from the top turnbuckle to the outside announce table. Even for small athletic guys that is one hell of a jump. A legdrop is also harder than an elbow drop in this case, since the elbow drop gives a wrestler the advantage of being horizontal which increases their reach.

Kane. Only big guy I've seen do a hurricanrana (even if it was only once). When in the green hell was this?!!?

I voted for Vader due to his ahtleticism for his sive, his gimmick, and the moves he did was remarkable. Doing Moonsaults and the Vaderbomb were remarkable. Bigelow was a close second since he could move amazingly fast for his size and he put on amazing matches and carried LT to a passable match.
Umaga to be honest should be mentioned at least and be given some credit he has done an amazing job! He isn't pretty but he is fast and really made John Cena look strong and I feel he will be a future WWE Champion and I liken him to a smaller, thinner Yokozuna.

Seriously where is Big Show on this list? I felt that Andre was better than Big Show as the other guys on the list do as well. Except for a couple of Runs I felt that Show was lazy and boring. The others in my opinion had a bigger impact, sure Show was great but not nearly near the best thats why I put other on the list.

Also keep in mind that you have to protect the guy taking the leg drop as well. It's not just "falling on your ass".

Kane. Only big guy I've seen do a hurricanrana (even if it was only once). When in the green hell was this?!!? A few years ago on SmackDown when he lost the IC belt to Albert/ A-Train. My vote is for Awesome & it's NOT a sympathy vote because of his death. I've stated this opinion on this forum (& others, I'm sure) on many occassions before.

I like Vader a lot, but Undertaker is in the best shape of his life at THIS point in his career, and can do pretty much everything. He can chain wrestle, he can brawl with the best of them, he can deliver excellent promos, he has one of the greatest and longest-lasting characters in wrestling while constantly re-inventing himself, hell, I've even seen him do a Topé con Hilo.
For his size and age, he has no right to be as good as he is right now.

I still don't get what a "big man" wrestler is. Why is Undertaker one but not Hogan for example, because Taker is taller?
I was thinking about this the other day actually. Usually when someone says "big" in this case, they usually mean fat.

What about Lesnar? Dude was freaking huge and could still do a shooting-star.
Out of the guys listed I'd say Vader or Awesome.

Usually when someone says "big" in this case, they usually mean fat. I was thinking the same thing. And yes, "big" usually means fat. Hogan does belong on the list. You know what's funny" Hogan use to say Bret Hart was too samll to be champ, but when they stand next to each other, Bret is just as big. What big means, I don't know.
