Compared to O’Neal, he was only slightly taller, but his pro-wrestling upper body made him look bigger.
Omos – 7 ft. 3”
The current WWE Superstar, who recently started a singles run against Bobby Lashley, is one of the tallest men in WWE. As of now, Shaquille O’Neal is yet to stand with him in the ring, but when it happens, Omos will clearly be the taller out of the duo!
Andre The Giant – 7 ft. 4”
The Late WWE Superstar was often referred to as ‘The Eighth Wonder of the World’. His height was a result of gigantism, which was because of excess growth hormones. There are numerous stories of what Andre The Giant was capable of such as drinking gallons of beer in one sitting!
Shaquille O’Neal is considerably small compared to Andre The Giant.
