Gorilla Monsoon, towering at an exact 6ft 5 (195.6 cm), embodied the ultimate monstrous presence in professional wrestling, using his immense height to dominate as a fearsome heel.
His colossal frame struck terror into opponents, allowing him to credibly battle wrestling giants and cement his legacy as a powerhouse competitor in the 1960s and 1970s.
Later, as a legendary play-by-play commentator and booker, his commanding 6ft 5 stature enhanced his authoritative on-air persona, earning praise from Jim Ross as one of the all-time great announcers.
