Big Show missed out on a World Record?

It appears that the WWE cost Big Show a potential World Record last year.

The WWE's attempts at producing movies have been far from successful. The reason is largely due to bad choices in WWE Superstar for lead roles, producing terrible scripts and really awful marketing decisions. After their previous action films with John Cena proved to be flops, they feared that Knucklehead would also be a flop as it was not an action movie, and did not star John Cena, Randy Orton or Triple H. As a result, they scaled back on the distribution of the movie.

If they had given the movie the same distribution as The Marine, The Condemned or 12 Rounds, then Big Show would have broken a World Record. His role in the film would have been enough to make him the tallest leading man in a major motion picture.

Paul 'Big Show' Wright is medically recorded as being 6' 11'' tall, meaning that he would have easily smashed the record by 6 inches. The current record is held by both Christopher Lambert and Vince Vaughn, who are both 6' 5''.

Former NBA Basketball star Shaquelle O'Neal also missed out on the record multiple times due to the way his movies were distributed and the roles he had played.

World Record over financial losses? Seriously, what are the dirtsheets thinking when they post this stuff? Apparently they have no idea how to manage a business. Eeeeesh.

For media, World Records mean nothing to me. There is actually a world record for the first ever used of "digital water" in a film. 'Antz' is the first movie to use digital animation to draw realistic looking water.
