Don't forget Akebono who Sumo wrestled Big Show at Wrestlemania 21, he weighed in at 508 lbs! He was about 6'8 in height. He was recorded as the only opponent to outweight Big Show in the history of WWE.

Andre was 7' 4" and 475-550. I dont know if anyone was bigger then him in wresting. I herd a stupid rumor that Giant Gonzalez was 8' but I don't beleive it

Ok the true height of Andre The Giant was 6'10 or 6'9.75" if you want to be exact. he was measured by the French Athletic Federation in 1970 at 24 years of age at this height. His 7'4 billing was complete rubbish and was due to the fact that there were barely all wrestlers over 6'6 in the 1970s.
John Studd was about 6'6 tall but was billed at 6'10 and Hulk Hogan was 6'4.5"-6'5 in the 1980s so Studd was approx 1" taller. Today Hogan stands about 6'3 due to many knee, back and hip surgeries.
Regarding who was as tall or taller than Andre here is a list of guys and their true height
Nathan Jones 6'9-6'9.5" http://images.google.ie/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cooldudesandhotbabes.com/graphics/nathanjonesarticle.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.cooldudesandhotbabes.com/jones.html&h=704&w=630&sz=143&hl=en&start=12&tbnid=KiOYzm95Jyb5sM:&tbnh=140&tbnw=125&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dnathan%2Bjones%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN
Kevin Nash 6'10 http://www.therealmccoys.com/images/unsigned/KNASH10.JPG
Paul "Big Show" Wight 6'11-7ft http://www.gosh.org/news/celebrity/sport/images/Big-Show-lrg.jpg
Dalip "Great Khali" Singh 7'1 http://www.bodybuildingindia.com/dalp-coa.htm
Ron "The Yeti" Reis 7'2 http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/pictures/r/ronreis/07.jpg
Paul "Giant Silva" 7'2 http://www.wrestlingworld.it/Historical/stablegallery/humanoddities.jpg
John "Silo Sam" Harris 7'2 http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/pictures/s/silosam/05.jpg
Jorge "Giant" Gonzales 7'6. Here with the 6'7.5" Undertaker in 1993 http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e13/Dougq8/wm9match2.jpg
Max "Paul Bunyan" Palmer 7'7 http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/pictures/p/paulbunyan/01.jpg
I probably missed out one or two there but the most important point is that Max Palmer at 7'7 barefoot and Jorge Gonzales at 7'6 are the two tallest pro-wrestlers in history and would have dwarfed Andre the Giant.

Being Wilt Chamberlain was 7'1", Andre appears to be about 7'0 in this picture. Notice how tiny Arnold looks. lol

i'd say yokozuna.. notwithstanding his massive size, he was pretty agile & he moved pretty well (the banzai drop never failed to amaze me back in the day, lol).. andre the giant's skills was equally impressive (considering his enormous frame) but yokozuna in my opinion was the better in ring performer..
