Strowman DOES have internal lifts. Just look at his boots. (Pause a video) kane still edges him out.
Philip McMullin said on 22/Nov/17
@Annonymous Kane is NOT shorter than Strowman!
Chad said on 22/Nov/17
Guys, go back to the WWE SS pay-per-view, when Randy Orton and Strowman were in the ring together. Orton was almost as tall as Strowman. Now, I am 6 ft 4 and have been next to Randy Orton, and he is the EXACT height as me. Strowman can't be over 6'6. And I think Kane is 6'6.75 today.
Anonymous said on 22/Nov/17
Kane is slightly shorter than Braun Strowman, but Kane has often Ben billed as 7 ft witch we all now is a lie look at him beside Shaquille O'neal and the Great Khali who are 7,1. Kane is atleast 5 inches shorter I say Kane is 6,8.
Philip McMullin said on 22/Nov/17
But you cant rule out the HEAVY possibility that Strow Strow has INternal lifts.
Canson said on 21/Nov/17
@Omid: very true statement in that a lot of wrestlers wear some type of thicker footwear or “lifts”. You don’t see many of them that list themselves honestly out there really. Other than Swagger and Cena i did see Tyler Mane admit he’s 6’7” this year and Hulk Hogan from what i do remember said once that he was 6’5” in the 90s but that is something i vaguely remember. If that’s correct he was being honest for his peak but he had begun to lose height and was likely only 6’4” range by then
Canson said on 21/Nov/17
@Christian: yea i didn’t word that right! But In a stare down with he and Strowman and i believe Taker he definitely had some very thick Boots on!
Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 21/Nov/17
@Canson
I'm not accusing Kane of wearing lifts, I just said that the sole of his boots appear to be thicker than Strowman's. Kane wore lifts back in the 90's, but I doubt he does today.
Canson said on 20/Nov/17
I’m not so sure i can see a 6’8” peak for this guy like people are saying. Like Christian said he does wear lifts
Canson said on 20/Nov/17
@Christian: Your estimate for Strowman seems on point. Some of these bigger wrestlers are listed all over the place. As a kid i heard Taker was 6’10 but as i got older even before i knew how much height was exaggerated i never though He was that tall. He didn’t even look as tall as Someone like Chris Webber who was 6’8/6’9 let alone Big Show lol who is 6’10 range. I’ve never been able to truly pinpoint Kane over the years. I guessed 6’7” previously
Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 20/Nov/17
@Vegas
Take a close look at Kane's boots. His soles are thicker than Strowman's

A Man said on 19/Nov/17
@ Omid, I think you're overthinking this a bit...
Omid said on 19/Nov/17
@Vegas, I think your proof argument is arguably flawed, neither of us here are industry experts and all we have are speculations, with that out of the head from everything I know from Wrestling, boots with “bigger than average” soles and heels are some what of an staple in Pro Wrestling than a rarity.
They’ve been frequently enhancing the height of the guys the wanted to present as big powerful threats, look at the early Kane for example, the guy used to jump from the rope rope like every night and those huge heels didn’t appear to stop him or cause him injury now, did they?
Looking at Strowman, the way they are presenting him and the way they want him to look in front of someone like Kane, it would be typical if not logical on behalf of WWE to make sure Strowman looks good in front of Kane and given the amount of publicity given to the size of Kane’s boots for example, I wouldn’t be shocked if I were to discover more “stealthy” choices were undertaken for Strowman.
Kane said on 19/Nov/17
@ Vegas if someone loses their boot that doesn’t mean you can tell what’s inside! Lol wow. Do some research and look at photos of big shows boots from anytime all the way up to now. Even Kevin Nash said big show wore platforms. Take a look at the bottom of Brauns boot just before the sole starts, then look how tall it is to the top of his foot. THAT is an internal lift!
Vegas said on 19/Nov/17
Kane said on 17/Nov/17
Vegas, really? You can’t tell that braun has internal lifts??? Those are custom boots. Painfully obvious.
Omid said on 18/Nov/17
@Vegas everyone in wrestling has lifts, some are visible some are not, he definitely has lifts, they all do.
-----------------
The onus is on you guys to prove it. Saying he has custom boots or everyone in wrestling wears lifts doesn't prove it. Most wrestlers do get custom boots made and I would imagine a guy as big as strowman wouldn't just walk in and be able to order a normal one size fits all boot off the shelf but that doesn't prove there are lifts inside.
As for everyone in wrestling has lifts, thats patently not true. Many wrestlers today wrestle in normal sporting footwear with kickpads covering them, some like Rusev wrestled barefoot. Big show had a match barefoot and didn't look 2-3 inches taller than he did next to Akebono with his boots on. A few wrestlers have lost their boot during a match and it was clear nothing was inside...plus I know a few independent wrestlers personally.
Also why would wwe risk the health of their new monster maineventer by having him wear something like lifts inside his boots and possibly twist an ankle? I mean the big advantage strowman has over guys his size is his movement and how quick he runs from a standing start putting lifts inside his boots would totally hinder his movement and make him just another big lumbering guy!
Christian that photo needs to be rotated about 1 degree

Chad said on 10/Nov/17
In the video that Strat posted below, you can CLEARLY see Braun looking up at Kane. If Kane is 6'7.5, then Braun is 6'6.75. If Kane is 6'7.25, then Braun is 6'6.5. Not to mention Kane is trying his hardest not to stand straight up so he doesn't appear taller than Strowman. Glen Jacobs is there to put Braun over as the new monster. So he himself definitely is not trying to look taller than Braun, it's just that it's not working.
Kane is taller by .75 of an inch. Prime Kane would have been taller by 1.25-1.5 inches than Strowman.
A Man said on 10/Nov/17
@Kane, height is judged on the top of someone's head, not their shoulder or eye level.
@ Omid, a picture of Kane with some massive boots on standing next to Big Show with some massive boots on proves what?

Yep once again kane looks taller. Take away the wig if you want. That’s not what edges him out. His shoulders are higher, and Braun slightly looks up to Kane’s eyes. Stop arguing about this.

I'm not
trolling or looking for abuse, I'm saying what I see and what anybody with a pair of working eyes should be able to see.
Kane has not come out conclusively taller in any pictures or videos. He may look a touch taller at a glance but that's because he's got a huge wig on top of his head. Saying Strowman has a footwear advantage is pure speculation as well, no proof of it anywhere. If anything Kane's boots look thicker.

Kane would edge out Strowman barefoot if both were standing in military posture IMO.
I still think Kane is a full 6'7 guy when he stands at his tallest, probably down a small fraction on his peak as he is 50, Strowman is more of a weak 6'7 guy and could be more 6'6.75 range, I'm not sure if he's used lifts at any point as his height can fluctuate.
Vegas said on 29/Oct/17
Zero chance a peak Kane had two inches on a peak strowman. Strowman was listed 6'8 in strongman, Kane 6'8 in college basketball. Jacobs at his peak wasn't 2 inches taller than Rick Bognar who played fake razor and was billed 6'6

Being closer to the camera is a disadvantage as camera is set high in the stands..

Someone please link to a video or a screengrab of Kane looking taller. I've looked myself but Strowman looks taller in all of them.

without a doubt Kane looked taller. Braun was closer to the camera and Kane's posture was worse. During their first meeting Braun blatantly had lifts and kane relaxed his posture to sell Brauns height.
Chad said on 19/Oct/17
@A Man - Just look at their shoulder heights. Kane's shoulders had 1 inch of height on Braun's. Last time they had faced off, they had Strowman wear 2.5 inch lifts to appear taller than Kane. Kane is absolutely taller than Strowman.
A Man said on 18/Oct/17
Don't know what people are seeing if they think Kane edged out Strowman this week. He only edges him out if you count the 2 inches of fake hair on top of his hair.
Strowman looks slightly taller, just as he did last time they went face to face.
Chad said on 18/Oct/17
Yes - Kane did edge Strowman by an inch. It was funny because they had Strowman stand closer to the camera so that they would pull some camera trickery for them to be the "same size" but it wasn't working. You can tell Kane was taller and it didn't look like he had lifts on, nor did Strowman look like he had lifts on.
Strowman - 6'6.5
Kane - 6'7.5

@Swag123 - Sir, with all due respect, wrestling heights are always kayfabed to make the superstar getting the billing appear larger than life. In no point in time was Undertaker taller than Kane. I hate to break it to you, but - most wrestlers are about 2 inches shorter than their announced height. Big Show was 6'11.5 in his prime. Kevin Nash was 6'9 in his prime. Kane was roughly 6'8 in his prime and Undertaker was 6'7.5 in his prime.

This is so funny! Kane is 7' and Undertaker is 7' 1" and Big Show is 7' 2" and the Great Khali is 7' 3". At no point in the WWE History was Kane was 6' 7". Undertaker is also not 6' 6.5", Taker is actually about an inch taller than Kane making him 7' 1" and when comparing Kane and Big Show, Big Show is about 2 inches taller than Kane making him 7' 2". (All of these guys are 7 feet or above) (None of them are in the 6 foot range)
Chad said on 9/Oct/17
Listen to Bruce Prichard's latest podcast talking about Badd Blood '97 and the debut of Kane. He says that BOTH Kane and Undertaker wore lifts, Undertaker's were probably internal. When Conrad asks Bruce if it so that Kane would be eye to eye with Taker, he says "no, I actually think he was bigger than Taker". So that means that Taker had internal lifts, and Kane had external lifts.

On Bruce Pritchard's latest podcast on Badd Blood 1997, he stated that both Kane and Undertaker both wore lifts but that Kane was taller.
Editor Rob
if 6ft 7 guys can wear lifts, anybody can!
I think some might have simply had thicker soles and a half to 1 inch insert, but you wouldn't want to wrestle in higher than about 2-2.3 inches as the risks of ankle/leg damage might increase greatly.

Dewie, I don't think that Sid or Taker were ever 6'8. Even Bruce Prichard said that Taker was 6'7 on his podcast. Although, I have heard several people refer to Kane as 6'8, I think that Kane is just a smidge under 6'8, thus the 6'7.75 that I always thought he was.
Sid is a difficult one. In some staredowns with Taker, he looks taller, in others he looks shorter, and in most of them, they look the same height.
Then in WCW, Sid and Nash had a stare down, Nash looked 2 inches taller, but when Taker fought Nash at WM12, Nash looked taller than Taker by 1.5 inches.

Chad said on 7/Sep/17
Anonymous, I am really sorry but I have to disagree with you. Kane was never struggling to go over the top rope. Ever. And at WrestleMania 14, Kane was TALLER than The Undertaker by 2.25 INCHES. Please go back and take a look at their staredown. Ofourse, it had a lot to do with the lifts, without the lifts, Kane would have been .75 of an inch taller. The lifts gave him another 1.5 inches of height.
They wanted to make Kane look GIGANTIC. Which they pulled off very well.
Undertaker at that time was 6'7.5. Kane was about 6'8.25.
Nash always looked shorter in staredowns with Big Show than Kane did. ALWAYS. Nash WAS taller than Kane, but Kane with his lifts was taller than Nash.
Nash - 6'9 | Kane in lifts - 6'9.5 - 6'9.75
Kane said on 7/Sep/17
I've seen Nash struggle to step over the ropes. I've even seen Nash get caught in them bc he couldn't step over them all the way. You obviously haven't seen many vids of Glenn in any of his gimmicks where he steps over the ropes. Sometimes he does it very easily. I've seen a 6'4 guy step over them so don't use that as an excuse to say Nash is taller.
Anonymous said on 6/Sep/17
I wouldn't criticize Kane for wearing lifts, but just watching back old stuff from 96/97 it's weird to see how much they pushed the lifts on him. At WM14 Taker didn't wear lifts, and Kane's are huge in order to make him look the same size. Just a year prior he was brought in as Fake Diesel and he could barely step over the top rope without those lifts (one of the main reasons I know Nash is really taller).

@Markus
Sheamus is one of the biggest lift wearers in wrestling history, along with Kane. But I don't know why everyone calls out Kane for wearing lifts, yet very few people have ever called out Sheamus for wearing them.

I still think Kane's peak was 6'8" and undertaker's being 6'7.5." But it seems that people are now downplaying kane by half an inch. I wouldn't be surprised if Kane and undertaker were the same height. Kane still seems taller to me.

Here is Jim Ross talking with Kane about getting him started in WWE:

Ross described Jacobs as 6'7 or 6'8" and close to 300 lbs when he tried to get him signed. Sounds legit.
TheGrump said on 15/Aug/17
Sidd,ı think you should watch the match between them. kane looks 2 or 3 inches taller in the match
Markus said on 15/Aug/17
This line is nonsense. Sheamus´ top of the head is over that line and Kane wears bigger lifts than Sheamus.
So, 4 inches between the two is more likely.
Chad said on 14/Aug/17
Sidd, I agree, I think Kane might even be taller if he wasn't slouching BY .25-.5 inches, you can cearly see Kane is trying to sell Gallows' height in the ring but it was almost like when The Undertaker and Underfaker stood toe-to-toe. You could see that Mark Calaway had 2 inches on Brian Lee and it just didn't work. I think Kane was definitely a 6'8 peak. No way he was anything under that. Kevin Nash might have had him by 1.25 inches in their match back with Isaac Yankem vs Diesel
Sidd said on 13/Aug/17
A Kane and Matt Morgan comparison. Kane's slouching in his picture but still not much of a difference between them for mine

Kane said on 12/Aug/17
You know what.... regardless of all the pics we've seen and bad photo/video angles, the real one that proves he was at least 6'8 barefoot a while back was Kane and Tomko face to face recorded backstage. He towered Tomko and he was at least 6'6 barefoot.
Chad said on 12/Aug/17
Kane peak was 6'8, with the lifts he was 6'9 1/2. Undertaker was 6'7.5 in his boots 6'8. Big Show had about 2.25 inches on Kane in the lifts in '99 (both ar their peak). Show had Undertaker by about 3.75 in 99.
Kane said on 11/Aug/17
Look up The undertaker and Kane backstage, it's a 25 second video. Kane has at least 2" on taker. Looks just like the diesel v taker stare down back stage.

Kane was billed 6ft9 and later 7ft0 real height was 6ft8 barefoot
Sean said on 11/Aug/17
Hi Rob - A lot of going back and forth here recently on who is/was taller: Kane or Matt Morgan, in your opinion who is taller?
On this site you have Morgan 1 inch taller, which I agree with. You could even make the case that both were 1/2 inch taller at peak:
Kane: Peak 6'8", Current 6'7.25"?
Morgan: Peak 6'9", Current 6'8.25"?
Editor Rob
the question with kane is if he was 6ft 7.5 or 8 I feel...6ft 7 flat? I'm not sure he was that short.
ReturnofG said on 9/Aug/17
I agree if Nash and Morgan had same footwear, Nash would have an inch on Morgan. A peak Nash would have closer to two inches on Morgan.
Shuvayu said on 8/Aug/17
Yankeem was never billed as 6.7 ... its a lie ...
Kane said on 7/Aug/17
Like I said look at Matt morgans page and take a gander at the pic where he's wearing huge internal lifts. They draw a line where the bottom of his foot should be. Can you not tell how Kane is slouching big time to sell gallows height? Gallows is even wearing kanes big boots with that suit and Kane is STILL taller while slouching. Matt and Kane looked even in height when they went toe to toe so I think a prime Kane was taller. Final, there should be no debate about this. Kane was always closer to big shows height than Nash or Morgan.
Shuvayu said on 7/Aug/17
@vegas gallows as fake kane had possibly a 3.5 inch sole ... why dont you check kane vs gallows instead
Vegas said on 6/Aug/17
Kane said on 2/Aug/17
Still no proof where Morgan is taller. Have you not noticed the HUGE internal lifts inside his boots? Especially when he went against Kane. They looked even. He never was eye to eye with Nash oh and please provide proof where they said Yankem was 6'7.

There is Nash and Morgan face to face at 14 minutes 30 seconds onward

Second it's next to impossible to determine 100% if someone is wearing internal lifts, you can speculate but you can't prove it unless you see the inside of the boot. There were people on here claiming Mike Tyson boxed in lifts which was ridiculous
Morgan moves quite well for a tall guy wearing something inside his footwear too, better than Nash ever did. Kane (post attitude era) and Morgan's wrestling boots look similar too..

Gazz said on 3/Aug/17
There's no way I can see Kane being any less than 6'8 barefoot in his peak just from evidence I have seen here. I think it is easy to skew camera advantages and footwear in your favour if you want a wrestler to be taller than he is. I wouldn't be surprised if he is still 6'8 going from the recent photos of him with big show and of him with Braun Strowman in a match in Europe where he is clearly taller by at least an inch - Braun is currently listed at 6'7 on here making Glenn around 6'8.
Kane said on 2/Aug/17
Go look at matts page on this site and see his pics of his huge inside lifts. WAY bigger than Kane's lifts ever were and he's still shorter than Nash! So stop going back and forth with me bc that is proof enough. Kane measured up taller to big show than all of them and STILL does and that's that.
Kane said on 2/Aug/17

Kane barefoot peak anything between 6'7 and 6'8 is debatable.
Morgan looked 6'8.5 range. He was eye to eye with Nash over 10 years ago.
Sean said on 1/Aug/17
Great find Vegas! At 2:12 of the video Vegas attached, there is a staredown between Show and Morgan which shows maybe 1.5", 2" difference? Both looked to be in the same size footwear also. This is from 2005 and both have lost height since then. If Show was 6'11" range by this time where does that put Matt - 6'9"?
Rob - Maybe perhaps we change Matt peak 6'9", current 6'8.5"???
Total agreement with Vegas with Morgan being taller than Kane.
Chad said on 1/Aug/17
Vegas, Matt Morgan seems 2.5 inches under Big Show there.. The same as Kane at KOTR 99 in his lifts.. I don't know if Morgan is wearing internal lifts, but it he might. I see Morgan at about 6'8, the same as Kane. Kane being 6'7.75-6'8 at his peak. No way was Kane more than an inch shorter than Kevin Nash. Nash was taller than Taker about 1.75 inches, I'd peg him at 6'9.25.
Taker - 6'7.5
Kane - 6'8 (peak)
Matt Morgan - 6'8-6'8.25
Big Show - 6'10.75 - 6'11 (peak).. Now around 6'10
Vegas said on 1/Aug/17

Vegas Kane and Matt Morgan have wrestled each other. Kane was slightly taller. And everyone knows Matt wears those huge hidden lifts.

I met both Morgan and kane out of gear in the Hilton NYC lobby back in March 2004 within minutes of each other during mania 20 weekend and Morgan is taller. Morgan was listed taller in college basketball than Jacobs too, not that that really matters but still.
Kane even in his huge attitude era platforms didn't look that tall next to wight

As for Isaac Yankeem WWF billed him 6'9 but pwi continually listed him at 6'7 throughout the late 1990s.

Chad said on 25/Jul/17
Shuvayu, I agree too. There was one instance where Taker and Kane went face to face when Glenn was Isaac Yankem, and Glenn appeared about an inch taller than Taker. I can guarantee that Kane was always taller than Taker and they wanted him to wear the lifts so that he appears even more gigantic in stare downs with Undertaker. Taker had to have been 6'8 as he never came off as a guy who is 6'7 (mind you that a 6'7 man is still a giant). Kane looked a good .5 inches taller than Taker in stare downs. And in 1999 - KOTR ppv, when Kane and Big Show went toe-to-toe, Show was 6'10.75 he did wear lifts so I would guess in his boots he was 7 feet on the dot, and Kane was 6'8.5. + his 1.5 inch lifts, he would have been 6'10 in them.
Shuvayu said on 25/Jul/17
Some idiot said that as Isaac Yankeem he was billed 6.7. Can anyone show me that clip where JR or Vince or Lawler states that ... There was a steel cage match with Bret in 95 where Yankeem was billed 6.10 ... Listen to the commentary in the early part of the match ... As Yankeem Vince termed him a behemoth
Chad said on 24/Jul/17
DFENS, great find. Maybe Kane is still 6'8. If Big Show is 6'10, there hardly looks to be a 2 inch difference in that photo.

Chad said on 21/Jul/17
No problem Martin. Show does i deed wear lifts to the ring. There's a reason Show looked closer to Shaq's height in the ring and then when they were filming outside of the Awards show, Big Show looked 3 inches smaller than Shaq. Shaq is 7'1. Big Show today is 6'10. Kane today being at about 6'7.5 explains why he is close to Show's height. That's only a 2.5 inch difference. Kane in his prime was definitely between almost 6'8. Maybe not on the dot 6'8, but a strong 6'7.75. You can look back when 6'5.75 Luke Gallows (peak) played the fake Kane. No matter how much Glen tried to hunch to try and make Luke Gallows appear taller, it just wasn't working.
Then in '98, 2 big guys who were in the WWF who were a legit 6'6.5 each were the Harris Twins. Kane in his lifts always appeared a good 2 inches taller than the Harris twins. Haris Brothers in boots- 6'7, Kane (real height 6'7.75) in his boots - 6'9.25.
Martin 6'2 said on 21/Jul/17
Thank you Chad, something I didn't know.
And about Kane and Show looking a similar height in normal clothes, perhaps Show has also been wearing lifts in the ring, not sure.
Shuvayu said on 20/Jul/17
@slim yes hardly any difference ...both of them in formals
Slim said on 19/Jul/17
Shuvayu thanks! Also, have you seen Kane in his business suit with big show? He's almost even with him! Backstage.
Ustaad988 said on 17/Jul/17
He may have been 6'8" peak and 6'7" now though he is notorious to have worn lifts his entire career but before he was kane Isaac Yankem did look about 6'8" and taker looked just about as tall back in the day but 33 years of wrestling and hip surgeries and the bumps taker has taken through all these years play a vital role in losing about 1.75" or atleast 1.5" of height but in his staredown with roman and braun and against Corbin in the Royal Rumble he easily pulled off 6'6.5" according to me
Shuvayu said on 17/Jul/17
Yes that was royal rumble 2004, morgan tries to powerbomb kane but receives a chokeslam ... Kane is no way less than 6.8 today, considering TBS would be 6.11 ... kane at worst 3 inches shorter than TBS ....
Slim said on 16/Jul/17
Kane wrestles Matt Morgan in a royal rumble type match I've seen it on YouTube. One of the commentators said " 2 seven footers going at it!" Kane choke slams him I believe. Also, just look at Matt with Kevin Nash, he's shorter. Look at him with big show. He's WAY shorter. Now add Kane in there. Kane stacks up closer to big show.
Chad said on 15/Jul/17
Martin, yes - Kane looked 2 inches taller than Taker at WM14, but without the lifts, he would have still been taller than Taker vy .5 inches. Taker then was 6'7.25 and Kane was 6'7.75. Taker in boots was 6'7.75 (same height was Kane), Kane had 1.5 inches in his lifts - he was 6'9.25 in the lifts.
Sean said on 14/Jul/17
Kane I don't believe was taller than Matt Morgan. Peak Matt was about 6'8.75", Kane around 6'7.75".
Martin 6'2 said on 14/Jul/17
Guys please remember, although Kane looked a couple inches taller than Taker, back at WrestleMania 14, Kane was infact wearing a 1.5 - 2 inch sole.
So whatever their legit heights,(my guess being 6'6.5") they're probably both the same in bare feet.

Kane had 2-2.5" on Swagger looking through different pics, between 6´6.25 and 6´6.75" is Kanes height today, with a peak of 6´7"-6´7.5".
I reckon Flair even these days with good posture would push 5'10 today, with his peak around 5'11. Kane's peak is around 6'8 and the days around 6'7. Just my opinion. I can't see Kane 6 inches shorter than Khali, who's definitely in the 7ft range
Chad said on 13/Jul/17
Tane, I think Kane was 3 inches taller than the Harris Brother in his lifts. Which were 1.5 inches. I think the Harris Brothers were around 6'6.25-6'6.5 and Kane's real height was 6'7.75 + 1.5 inch in lifts = 6'9.25.

--------------
Numerous people stacked up better next to big show like matt morgan, Nathan jones, Nash and none of them were wearing platforms.
Speaking of platforms, nobody is arguing Kane wore lifts but you can clearly wrestle in platforms given tiny lister (Zeus) worked shots in no holds barred and velvet sky does here and glen is a far more coordinated that those two

Kane peak 6'7.25 (could maybe extend to 6'7.5) & Undertaker peak 6'7. Kane in the 2 inch lifts was 6'9.25, Undertaker in boots was almost 6'8. Today Kane is 6'6.5 with shoes almost 6'7, with boots probably 6'8. Taker is 6'5.5 today. Big Show's peak is 6'11. He always had boots that maybe him bigger. Probably 7 ft in them, but 7'1 no way. Today he's 6'10 and he sometimes wears those giant boots to look bigger. Nash was 6'8.75 at his peak. Today around 6'7.5. Tyler Mane was 6'7.5 and Nash had him by about an inch maybe a little more. Sid flustered between 6'6.75 and 6'7.25. There is a pic of him being taller than Taker in one match, then the WrestleMania match, he was identical in height with Taker, with Taker being slightly taller. Kurgan was 6'9, today 6'8.

Either he was 6'8.5 or 6'8 in 97, with 1.5 inch boots.. if he was 6'8.5, that would bring him to 6'10 in the boots. If he was 6'8, that would bring him to 6'9.5 in the boots, which I'm leaning more towards.

The more I review videos from 1997-1998, the more I want to say that Kane might have been 6'8.5. While the lifts would bring him up to about 6'10. When he destroyed Crush, Crush was 6'6, and Kane definitely looked about 4 inches taller. Then there was the instance when the DOA (Brian Lee, 8-ball, Skull and a bunch of other jobbers called Kane out) he came down to the ring. I know that the Harris brothers were both 6'7. And Brian Lee was 6'5. Kane had the Harris Brothers by 3 inches. What do you guys think?

There's no way Kane's only 275 pounds. Maybe he was in 2002 when he came back from the torn biceps and was lean as hell but currently, he's got to be comfortably over 300pounds and for most of his adult life, especially now that he isn't wrestling. I think he's at least 6'7 now, probably 6'8 in his prime
Height Collector said on 5/Jun/17
Thomas, i also read that article. It seems like they were trying to humanize him more for the article and just randomly put about 6 inches shy of 7 feet, and 50 pounds shy of 300. I am 6'4 myself. I have met Randy Orton and Kane, i was taller than Orton by about .5 inches. When i met Kane, he seemed to have had me by atleast a good 3 inches, this was in 2014. I still think he's 6'7.5 today. There is another article that recently claimed he was 6 ft 9. I believe someone posted it here. It said something along the lines of "the 6-9 300 pound behemoth".. His peak definitely was 6'8, but he didnt lose much height since his peak.

Undertaker: 6'6.73
Kane: 6'7.5
Nash: 6'7.95
Big Show: 6'10.6
--- These are their current exact heights.
Peak Heights:
Undertaker: 6'7.4
Kane: 6'8 - college height | Wore 1.75 inch lifts to be 6'9.75
Nash: 6'9 | With boots: 6'9.5
Big Show: 6'11 - With boots - 7'0.5
Reading below, someone mentioned Kane always appearing closer to Big Show's height than Nash in staredowns, in this instance, Kane's mega boots in 1997-2000 would have him at 6'9.75. When dealing with men of this size, everyone has to remember that just .25 inches can make a huge difference in how tall someone appears. Nash never wore thick boots. Nash was taller, but with Kane having a .25 inch advantage in his boots over Nash's height in boots, Kane always appeared taller to Show's height than Nash did in staredowns, but Nash was taller in reality.
An email to a former certain creative team member confirmed that Kane was indeed taller than Undertaker, (wont mention the creative team member's name as he is well liked by some but well hated by others :), back in 1997, the debut of Kane was rehearsed starting a mlnth in advanced, with Kane in full ring gear, but he did not have the massive boots at the time. He remebers the instance in which Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard had been rehearsing with Kane and Taker, and Mcmahon wanted them to get closer, as they needed Kane to be taller than The Undertaker. Kane was SLIGHTLY taller than The Undertaker, but McMahon felt that Kane needed to be "more gigantic" and not have Taker looking straight at him, but looking "up" at Kane. The decision was then made to order Kane 1.75 inch platform boots and another pair that had 2 inches, and bill him at 7 feet tall, as they were billing Undertaker at 6'10 at the time. Kane stuck with the 1.75 inch platform boots as the 2 inch platform had felt "wobbly".

I think Taker was under 6'8 at his peak, probably 6'7.75. Kane was 6'8-6'8.25. Nash i would peg an inch taller than Kane. So 6'9.25. Big Show was 6'11-6'11.25 at his peak. There is a picture of Shaq and Show recently, and Shaq is 7'0.5 barefoot. He looked a good 3 inches taller than Show.
Today: Taker: 6'6.5 | Kane: 6'7.5 | Nash: 6'7.75 | Show: 6'10.5

Takers bio said he is 6ft8 barefoot chad so kane 6ft8.5 nash 6ft9 big show 6ft11 more accurate peak heights what do you think chad
Chad said on 22/May/17
Dewie, I think you're spot on. I would put Kane and Nash a little closer. Kane 203, Nash 205. I don't think Big Show was ever exactly 7 feet tall. I would say 6'11.5 at his peak, and today 6'10.5. There is a match between Isaac Yankem and Diesel that I had posted a link to not too long ago on here, Nash and Kane were very very close in height.

Abe, I think you're talking about Royal Rumble 2003. Which is the only time Taker looked slightly taller than Kane as Kane was hunched while Taker was standing straight. Reason - Taker's footwear was noticeably bigger than Kane's boots. In 2003, Kane didn't wear the 2 inch heels. Kane was always .5 inches taller than Taker. I said this before and Ill say it again, I think the reason they had Kane wear lifts when he became Kane was to have him appear NOT slightly taller than Taker, but noticeably taller than Taker. The WCW had The Giant and Kevin Nash at the time, who were being promoted as 7'4 and 7'1. The WWE had to have a giant that was at least 7'0 too, which is probably why the gave Kane that billing. Taker was 6'7, with boots around 6'7.5. Kane was 6'7.5, with the 2 inch heels 6'9.5.

Listen to the recent E&C Podcast w Kane.. Edge tells Christian to watch his mouth because he's speaking to a "6 foot 8, 320 pound human being".. I think Kane is 6'7.5 now and was 6'8 at his peak.. In college, he was listed as 6'8 on his Basketball team.

Kane has always been taller than Taker. Its as simple as that
dewie said on 13/May/17
Taker was 3cm taller then 6ft7 sid so taker 6ft8.5 peak kane 3inches padded boots kane was never taller than undertaker kane peak 6ft7.5.
Chad said on 12/May/17
I myself am 6'4.5 and I met Kane in 2014. When I stood next to him, he definitely seemed taller than when I stand next to my friend who is 6'7 on the dot. Not much taller, but if I had to guess, I would think that Kane is probably 6'7.5 now, and was 6'8 prime. I did meet Kevin Nash in 2013 with my 6'7 friend, Nash was taller by about an inch and called him a big boy, I want to say that Kane might have been taller by exactly as much as Nash was than him. I'm not sure, but, maybe Nash has lost some height since he was Diesel as I thought he would have been 6'10, but was only an inch taller than my 6'7 friend.
Shuvayu said on 12/May/17
WWE screws up in height every now and then .... When glen wrestled as diesel he had a match with taker .... Taker as usual was billed as 6'10.5", while glen was billed as 6'9" ..... On a very honest note kane has really looked tall, but not taker .... In the early years taker looked small compared to Sid, but things changed in 97
dewie said on 11/May/17
Taker 6ft6.5 199cm kane looked 1cm shorter than lee smit so kane is 6ft5.75 197cm barefoot today
Slim said on 11/May/17
Ive seen Kane duck for an elevator, and multiple door frames so idk where you've seen him under one. 7 foot doorframes are very common here so that's probably where you've seen him walk under one.

There is enough evidence to drop Kane's height to 6'6". The picture of him with 6'6" Lee Smith pretty much confirms he's about 6'6" these days. I don't see any other way of looking at it. Here is the picture:
Click Here
He was maybe 6'6.5"/6'7" peak, but looked like a solid 6'8" in his big heels with his big hair. Now he is about 6'6".)
IF YOU ZOOM IN CLOSELY YOU'LL NOTICE GLEN IS TILTING SLIGHTLY AND IS STILL AROUND 0.5 INCH TALLER. SO WITH STRAIGHT POSTURE, HE IS EVERY BIT OF 6'7+
_____________________
Trust me, I looked closely. They are identical in height in that picture. Kane's posture is only slightly worse. If Kane stood at his tallest, he would maybe have .5" on him. I would go as high as 6'6.5" for Kane, but no more. He was probably 6'7" at his peak, but is now about 6'6.5".
Martin 6'2" said on 9/May/17
I'm a huge Kane fan, but I always knew he wasn't really 7 feet, it was to obvious when he stood next to other people, or more importantly doorframes, here in England an average doorframe is 6'6.25" I hear that in America they're around 6'8" Kane is never quite at the doorframe, close but not quite there.

@Benzac: agreed Kane is 6'7" like listed
Patrick said on 5/May/17
Dewey said earlier that Taker was taller than Kane. That's wrong, Sid Vicious was a STRONG 6'7" tall guy and I mean 'maxxed'. Kane is 6'7 1/2 tall PRIME and now hasn't lost that much height. Him standing next to Vince and them being equal is because we can't see footwear and also, Vince is not 6'5", he's actually 6'5" 3/4, possibly a very weak 6'6" guy. Kane was in his prime, taller than Taker and Sid Vicious, clear and simple.

Kane and Abel said on 5/May/17
Kane could be shorter Than Taker Right now, you only see Kane and Taker in Ring, where Kane got always thicker boots. Barefoot id say he isn't taller than Taker.
Shuvayu said on 5/May/17
TBS will be 6'8.5" then,
BennZac said on 4/May/17
If Kane is only 6'6 then Taker is struggling to be 6'5, Randy Orton is 6'2. Etc.
u would have to downgrade everyone a couple inches if Kane is only 6 foot 6, He's got to be taller than that, he slouches 95% of the time.

Omid said on 22/Apr/17
It' seems that no matter how many times I've posted this evidence on this page here, people simply refuse to believe that the gigantic boots he wore wasn't the same boots he wore after 2000 or 2001
You are free to search, the footwear Kane has been using since around 2000 is virtually identical to what Bigshow uses and has used to this day.
Slim said on 21/Apr/17
Can someone tell me how to post pics on here with my iPhone? I work with a 6'7 and 6'9 guy and they will gladly stand with a tape measure. Kane is a legit 6'8.

Just because he claims 6'2-6'3 doesn't mean he is that tall

Kei, this is their barefoot height. If you are 6'8 like you claim, you, Big Show would ofcourse tower over you at 6'10.25, with shoes, he'd be 6'10.5, with boots, just under 7 feet. I myself am 6'4, and i have a friend who is 6'6.5 and they tower over me. Nash with shoes is around 6'9, but no more than that.
