"He's 400 lbs and he moves like a lightweight!!"
So we've heard similar things like this about everybody but who do you think this actually applies to? Who are guys that were massive but actually moved stealthily around.
Out of all the guys they've said it about over the years I can only think of a couple that I actually think were like that: Mike Awesome British Bulldog Maybe Vader to an extent when he first came in. Who do you think moved like a cat despite being a tank? Narcissus spite tour of 2020. I have kids. |

I take it we're talking in KAYFABE? Like, what they show off in the ring, not their actual aptitude?

Umaga moves extremely well for a heavyweight as did Bam Bam Bigelow and to a lessor extent Yokozuna until he got ridiculously huge. Rikishi was pretty agile as well.

Yeah, I guess you're right. He seemed pretty huge on television though, maybe that's why I thought he was a bit bigger.

Lashley
As for Big Show, the man could do a moonsault, that's enough to put him in that list. Bam Bam was for my money the most agile big man going |

Kane and Undertaker have always impressed me for their size. They're tall, and huge, but they're proportioned normally, and are athletic as opposed to oafish.
They move pretty well in the ring. In fact, I'd say they move better than most of "normal" size. |

You have to credit Joe for moving so well for a guy his size, but he's not really that big. He's wide, but he's not a big-man.

So I can't believe only 1 person has said Bam Bam Bigelow. He was the very definition of an agile big man. It's so amazing to think how a man that big could do moonsaults, drop kicks, he even cartwheeled for god's sake. Vader comes awfully close, but for my money no big guy ever moved as agile as the Bammer.

Lesnar for sure.
I wouldn't say kane or undertaker move like a light weight. Kane used to move pretty well with some missile drop kicks, standing dropkicks, non-sloppy flying clothesline, etc. And Taker has always had that crazy suicide dive over the top rope, spinning/flying lariat, and also used to come off the top rope with a few moves. |

I think no one else was really talking about Bam Bam because he was one of the first mentioned, but yea...the guy could definately move.
Other than that, I always think of Undertaker and Kane moving very swiftly for people their size. Granted...I can't say they move like lightweights, but Undertaker use to be able to pull off an amazing suicide dive over the top rope, and one of Kane's signatures is a lariet from the top rope. On top of that, you know anyone else that big that can actuall run as decently as them in the ring? |

Big Bubba Rodgers/Big Bossman is an as yet unmentioned member of this list. He was incredibly agile for a guy as big as he was. Maybe not a Vader or a Bigelow, but still an impressive big man.
Obviously Bigelow and Vader. |

I was watching AWA on ESPN Classic the other night and a wrestler by the name of Jake "The Milkman" Milliman moved like a cat. He impressed me by his agility.

Vader, Lesnar and Big Show. Although Show was a lazy fatass from like 2001 to 2003, then got good again. He was great in 2000.

I saw some video from Andre The Giant when he was wrestling in Quebec and he was really agile, he did some dropkick and top rope move, nothing crazy but it was in the 70s.
