Tacko Fall Was Backstage At WWE Smackdown And He Is Huge
WWE SmackDown was in Boston on Friday and there is no bigger Boston athlete/wrestling fan than Tacko Fall.
Literally, no one is bigger.
Tacko Fall says he’s 7’6”, which means he’s eight-foot tall in the wrestling world. The Celtics center was hanging out backstage and photographed alongside various WWE superstars.

In the interview with Kayla Braxton, Tacko said this was his first WWE event and he was a fan of John Cena, Big Show, and The Undertaker growing up. Cena made an appearance on WWE SmackDown, setting up a WrestleMania bout against ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt. Kayla Braxton asked Tacko what would happen if he was able to come face-to-face with Cena and Tacko replied, “If I see him, he’s very hard to find. I will take a picture and send it to my grandma.”
Tacko eventually did run into Cena, setting up a meeting between the two biggest Boston sports stars in history.
