Wrestling has lost another former superstar, as Jorge Gonzalez has passed away at the age of 44. Gonzalez, who spent a short time in both WCW and the WWF, was one of the tallest men to ever compete in the squared circle.

Tributes to the giant began to form on Twitter late Friday. Longtime WWE announcer Howard Finkel said, "RIP Jorge Gonzales, a.k.a. Giant Gonzales. Sorry to hear of his passing in Argentina. You were in awe looking up at this monster of a man," while former referee Jimmy Korderas wrote, "Sad to hear that Giant Gonzalez has passed away in Argentina. He was a gentle giant. RIP."

R.I.P. - I thought he was much older than 44 though. Another childhood favourite gone.
