World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has had 100s of different superstars since its inception in the 1900s. Vince McMahon hired all types of superstars and divas with different personalities. These included people as short as Hornswoggle and as heavy as Big Daddy V.
Each wrestler has had its positives and negatives based on its traits. One of the factors that have had a large positive on a wrestler is their height. Being a tall wrestler has always had its advantages in the WWE.
