It's plain to see from the ghastly costume that the 7' 6" Jorge Gonzales was a complete and utter joke! (I mean what's with the painted on muscles?). The story of Gonzales' wrestling career began in the early 90's with WCW. These were the days when bigger meant better and WCW felt they could mold Gonzales (a basketball player by trade) into an instant star. He originally debuted as "El Gigante" and every attempt was made by the front office boys to promote Gonzales as a legitimate big man. It took WCW three long years to realize that their ongoing efforts to push Gonzales were to no avail, he simply possessed no wrestling ability, and was not improving. With this realization came Gonzales' release, which seemed to be the end of a lackluster career.
But wait! Someone didn't tell Vince McMahon of Gonzales' inferior worth. Like a trooper, McMahon decided to ignore impending doom and sign Gonzales to a contract early in 1993. He was billed as "Giant Gonzales" and made a triumphant debut in the Royal Rumble, where he eliminated the immensely popular Undertaker. With this win, Gonzales was to meet The Dead-Man at the gala of sports entertainment, Wrestlemania.
But it was not to be, Gonzales let his awful ability shine through, even the talented Undertaker could not make the incapable Giant look legit. The match was just plain bad, ending in a count out loss for Gonzales. At this point McMahon could not deny that Gonzales' heart really wasn't in wrestling (can't blame him really, I mean being treated as a freak attraction can't be good for the ol' self-esteem). By September "Giant's" brief WWF stint was over, along with his contract. After some less than brilliant stops in Japan Gonzales' wrestling career was finished for good, but not before making a name for himself as one of the worst wrestlers of all time in the hearts of wrestling fans everywhere!
