You would have to say that Dusty Rhodes is right up there with the fat guys, and I think he has more than most as he was a lot more than a novelty/gimmick of all the other fat men.

Apparently Akeem the 'African Dream' was a character created by the WWF to mock Dusty Rhodes the 'American Dream', as a white man that would do the jive talk.

Big Bossman was another small fatman who overachieved and even had a feud with Hogan.

I also never realised that Rikishi was in the WWF in the early 90's with the Headshrinkers tag team. Just thought I'd mention that as we are talking about fat wrestlers and he put on a fuckload of weight when he returned a few years back.
