dsrchris 190 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Does Bam Bam count as a giant though? I wouldn't have thought so? He's a big man, sure, but no bigger than, say, Boss Man was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Beltster Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 No, he doesnt. He was just fat. He counts as a big man, like Bossman, OMG/Akeem, Vader, Quake, Yoko etc. Giants are (surely!) based on height...I mean, thats what makes you a giant right? Being tall? So in that case, the only guys you can consider giants are Andre, Big Show, Studd, Baba, Gonzales and to a lesser extent Taker, Sid, Nash and so on.

Guest Jayfunk Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) They had One Man Gang on the DVD. I would say Bam Bam was more worthy. Edited April 26, 2015 by bigmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Beltster Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I'm not doubting they had plenty of non-Giants on the WWE Giants DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC 536 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I'm not doubting they had plenty of non-Giants on the WWE Giants DVD.This is the list for the main feature; which would you say weren't giants? Big Show Gorilla Monsoon One Man Gang Haystacks Calhoun Giant Gonzales Big John Studd Kevin Nash Ernie Ladd Mark Henry King Kong Bundy Sycho Sid Vader Yokozuna Great Khali Andre the Giant EDIT - Thinking about it; with you being as tall as you are, it probably gives you a different perspective.

Well to me, Giant is all about height, so unless you're really tall, you cant be a giant. Being obese shouldn't count. I'm not a giant and I'm taller than a bunch of those guys.

DC 536 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 How tall is tall enough to be considered a giant, just out of curiosity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Beltster Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 6'10 I'd think. Thats only 6" taller than me and I dont look much bigger than average when I'm in a crowd of people, its not like I stand out as being massively tall I shouldn't imagine. To be a giant, I mean the word itself, giant....to be a giant you surely have to be huge. There are guys under 6'10", like Sid, who could probably scrape through as not only is he close to that, but he is massively muscled on top of his height, so he probably looks massive in person. But even then, I dunno if Sid can be classed as a Giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC 536 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 It does seem that the disc has basically combined "big man" and "giant" into one. I'd consider Hafthór Júlíus Björnsson (yes, I had to copy his name) who plays The Mountain on Game of Thrones as a giant at 6'9", although a lot of that is due to his bulk as well. I Googled "how tall do you have to be to be considered a giant" and there was a lot of different answers, mostly hovering around the 6'6" to 6'9" range. Although on guy's comment should probably be dismissed. "don't know about that it is legal but a person above 6 feet can be called a giant.because 6ft is the maximum height a normal person can gain" :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest John Hancock Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Medically, the condition "gigantism" is usually only used to describe people over 7'0 tall, but, according to Wikipedia, it can also mean anyone in the tallest 1% of their nationality, gender or race. In America, taking race out of the equation, that would mean, roughly, over 6'5 for a man, and over 6'0 for a woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
