Jorge Gonzalez, who wrestled in WCW as El Gigante and the WWF as Giant Gonzalez, died Wednesday at age 44. He's been battling health issues all his life, which is not surprising due to his size. He'd been suffering from diabetes and was confined to a wheelchair in the later years of his life.
Gonzalez was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA Draft, but when he didn't make the team, Ted Turner offered him a tryout for WCW, where he wrestled as El Gigante. He moved onto the WWF and had his most famous match against Undertaker at WrestleMania IX.
I offer my sincerest condolences to his family and friends. Forty-four is way too young to die, although I was surprised that he wasn't older. Anyway, rest in peace, El Gigante.
Remember you can contact TH and ask him questions about wrestling, life or anything else. Please refer to this post for contact information. He always takes questions!
