As a side note "The Mormon Giant" Don Leo Johnathan passed away a few days ago.
Johnathan is considered the first successful "giant" of the business.
While never a world champion he wrestled all over the globe and was a draw either as a face or a heel.
He's also one of the few wrestlers to hold a pin-fall victory over Andre the Giant.
Below is a tag match featuring Johnathan and Andre in the then WWWF, 1973.
