Night of the Bloody Apes (1968)

When Dr. Krallman hears that his son Julio has leukemia, he decides to save him by replacing his heart with a gorilla heart. Some nauseating real surgery footage later, his son has a heart which randomly turns him into a massive man with a gorilla-esque face who stalks the night while wearing pajama pants, rapes, and kills women.

In an almost unrelated subplot, a full figured lady wrestler gets in the ring and does her wrestling thing. Turns out her boyfriend is the detective who is investigating the ape man murders. Yup, that's the only connection between the two stories.

Though the title promises bloody apes, there is only one guy in an ape suit, and Julio, who is only sometimes a gorilla man.
