Rantsrob I still say kane is 6'8 6'8'5, he seemed tall, he dwarfed everyone in the arena, height and weight.. kane is not small man, he did tower over everyone that i saw at the event.

I can guage up to 6'6-6'7, after thats its a crap-shoot. I have seen some freakin' TALL people before who could have been anywhere from 6'7-6'10.

3-4inches is consider'd taller. but once you reach 5-7inches taller to someone you are consider "towerd over". Once you have to tilt your head up consideribly to have a conversation with someone. It becomes very hard to guage ones height imo. The height i can guage is probably 6'4'' after that i usually over estimate an inch or so in real life.

i have plenty of friends that are 6ft4 and above. So if i see someone like kane for instance i compare him to the heights of my friends. Kane is actually very comparable to a guy that im friends with that is a bouncer. Hes 6ft7 and kane seemed to be taller then him .

your right rantsrob. Although you are above average in height and not a small man by any means you still couldnt pin down a man that is around your friends height. Especially when most of the main contributers on this great website are three inches shorter than you or the lower end of average height.
At 20 years old (myself) i actually realized that i encounter people pretty rarely that are 3 to 4 inches taller than myself and im 6'2.5. 6'6 sounds so tall so when i see guys that are a couple of inches taller than me they may actually be near 6'6ers especially since im 6'3.5 in shoes. If i met kane i would definetly be able to tell if he is 6'6 or 6'8 because if he is 6'6 he would be a only a little over three inches taller than me which would feel like he is taller but not towering, however f he is 6'8 legit thats over a 5 inch difference which then is the cut off to feel substantially shorter or just towered. it would be like a a near 5'7 guy with a 6 footer they would feel a lot shorter but a near 5'7 guy with say a 5'10 guy wouldnt feel that much towered over.

Rantsrob I can tell from 6'6 from 6'8 no. When I saw kane last month which im still trying to get pics from my friend, then i wil post it on here, he looked 6'8 in street cloth, 6'9 in ring gear, reason why i can tell 6'6 from 6'8 i had a friend who was 6'6 he moved away like 10 years ago.

I changed my perspective on kanes height, i have recently become friends with someone who is a legit 6'6'' he dwarfs me at 5'11'' and if i didnt know his height i'd estimate 6'8''+. I just cant see how you people who meet him would be able to guage his height

I'm not sure what you're saying about footwear, tuga. The video you linked was only 1:17.
If you're saying Kane wasn't wearing the big boots in the video I pulled my screen cap from, then I agree. If you were saying he was, then I disagree.
Even still, he looks about 7" taller than Austin there. Austin was closer to the camera in my screen cap and still didn't reach Kane's nose.

well at 1:15 taker is standing pretty straight compared to a somewhat slouched austin looks about 7 inches taller.
on 1:20 taker and austin kind of go toe to toe with taker looking 6 plus inches again. Now this is taker with good posture here. Austin at 6'1, will actuallly make himself around 6'2.5 or even 6'2.75 when he is with these guys. So if austin was 6'2.5 with shoes on taker can be close to 6'9 with his shoes on (likely 6'8.5 making undertaker around 6'7.5 which i believe is his height.

Here you go tuga, no rotation: Click Here
Austin is still very much closer to the camera though. I think with the initial rotation that difference is very close to the real difference between them with comparable posture AND if the same distance from the camera.
I believe Austin is around 6'1".
Kane's posture in the video you linked was just horrible, knees bent, feet wide apart, head way down, leaned forward, etc. This is the reason for the disparity, not footwear. That video has been discussed ad nauseum.

Not sure sure if this will help my point or not but at the tail end of this video is a staredown between Undertaker and Sid from 1997. The camera is titled up towards them and Sid actually appears the taller of the two and he's not tilting his head back. My point again is that Sid's features are higher but UT was taller
Click Here
On a side note, this was actually when I started wondering if wrestler's heights weren't accurate (I was a new fan at this point) b/c UT was billed as being taller but didn't look it here. Then I saw this other video a few months later and I was REALLY confused (staredown is towards the end)

"I challenge anyone to measure UT's head to guys like Sid, Kane, HHH. I garuantee you UT's head will be longer."
You really can't group Kane's head size in with Sid and HHH. Kane has quite a bit of height above his eyes as well, maybe not quite as much as Taker, but FAR more than Sid or HHH.

Paul and Ranstrob, I don't disagree UT has a receding hairline. I just think his head is longer than Sid's which makes up the height difference and makes his height deceiving to other wrestlers. I've seen people measure the heads of wrestlers in the stare down photos. I challenge anyone to measure UT's head to guys like Sid, Kane, HHH. I garuantee you UT's head will be longer.
Sid, if you have a pic from a website, you have to copy and paste it in tinyurl.com to make it smaller and then post it here.
If it's a pic from your desktop or something, I think you have to drag it to the comment window, then shorten the URL on tinyurl.com

KingNick, Rantsrob is right. Taker has been receding for some years. Thats why he had a close crop in the late 90's. I remember he had this cut for the match with RVD and he looked really evil with it. Could be on a DHT blocker which would explain why he still has a decent head of hair.
That wasnt late 90's.that was december 2001.

Hey guys new to this board. My name is Will, aka big will. I wrestled for Central States Wrestling in St. joseph Missouri for about five years and I was backstage at alot of WWE wresling shows even worked a few times as an Extra. I can promise you Kane and taker are both near the 6'10" mark. I am 6'4 bear foot and 6'6" when I wore my boots. ( which were custom made by stage coach who made kanes first boots). I met Glen jacobs aka kane at a show and he is every bit 6-10 close to seven with the boots on.

Here's another thing about Undertaker's height. His features are very low and he has a long forehead so he can appear shorter than he actually is.
Tuga found a video that Red was nice enough to screen cap. A good close up of Sid and UT from WM 13 Click Here
If Sid wasn't tilting his head back his features would still be higher than UT's and he would appear at first glance to be taller. But in reality UT is taller because of his face and head are longer.
I think this is why he can appear shorter next to smaller wrestlers plus he rarely stands up straight to begin with unless it's with someone as tall or taller than him, which is rare, like The Great Khali.
Long forehead? Or just a reseeding hairline.

eric 1: what do you give Kane then 6'6.5" in street clothes? Kane and Taker are VERY close in height. I wouldn't say it's absurd to give Taker 6'6" but it is a low ball figure IMO.

If Sid wasn't tilting his head back his features would still be higher than UT's and he would appear at first glance to be taller. But in reality UT is taller because of his face and head are longer.
I think this is why he can appear shorter next to smaller wrestlers plus he rarely stands up straight to begin with unless it's with someone as tall or taller than him, which is rare, like The Great Khali.

Those were some mighty 3-3.5 inch lifts Undertaker was in when he got in the face of Khali then.
Thats insane, do you really think we

Look undertaker looks no more then 6ft6 in street clothes
Honestly, he looks to be MAX 6'5" there. I still think 2000 and before he would have been taller.

Kane's boots aren't nearly as huge anymore as they used to be. The shape of his boots look normal (so no internal lifts anymore). His soles are still huge, but I doubt his wrestling boots would give him more than a 1.5" boost. And the Royal Rumble 2003 confirms nothing, as Kane was staggering to his feet. He hardly assumed a good posture there.
Here's another pic of Kane & Knox from the WWE website itself. Looks about a 2 inch difference, but Kane could probably squeeze out another inch if he stood up straight.

Just saw kane at a houseshow lastnite.. here in Vancouver, he was def the tallest guy on the raw roster, he's still huge.. He parked his car where I standing behind the fence, I wasn't quick enough to get his pic, I was esitmating how tall, he looked 6'8, was wearing sneakers, long leather jacket and baggy jeans, funny to see that. I got seats where the entrance was, when he came out he looked taller, of course his ring gear, I'd say he looked a inch taller with his gear, 6'9. Kane looked every bit of 6'8 when got out of his car, no pic darn it. I'm gonna check if my friend if she took pics, and post on here.

I never said that a billed height means legit, I said that Knox was first billed at 6'5" in UPW compared to being billed at 6'6"-6'7" in WWE so it may be his legit height. CHILL OUT!

Kane's feet are pretty wide apart there. But it looks like Knox stacks up to Kane about like JBL and Roethlisberger do, and better than Edge or Orton do. 6'5"-ish seems fair so far.

Knox is legit 6'5" I believe, at least that's what he was billed at when he first started off in wrestling.
Shad looks about 6'4"-6'5" IMO, he does wear pretty chunky work boots to wrestle in which make him look taller though.
So, being billed at a certain height makes that the wrestler's "legit" height according to you??? So, I guess Andre was 7'5", Hogan was 6'8", Big John Studd was 6'10", Davey Boy Smith was 6'3", Viscera was 6'10", etc....

It's really impossible the gauge exactly how much height he had on either Sting or Roberts. They were in-motion the entire time and there were virtually no frames with which to compare height.
One thing's for sure, Mastino made Sting look like a child with visibly small footwear. Hard to say for sure, but he was NO less than 5" taller than Sting there. The Jake the Snake match was even worse for comparing height, you can watch the video and every time they just about get on the same plane they switch cameras. Neither bothered to stand tall. Yankem is very visibly taller despite this though which likely means a good 3".

Sting was 6'2" imo. Funny thing is, in the WCW he was BILLED at his true height. He at times got s 6'3" billing. Lex Luger, who was an official 6'3" seemed to edge out Sting, so I am comfortable with a flat 6'2" for Sting. At lowest, I would say 6'1.5" for Sting.

Whatever Taker weighed in the early 90's, he's much less now. I wouldn't be in shock if someone told me that he was in his 250's today. He is at least 6'6" and lean with muscularity. As for his highest weight, well, in a 1999 interview he stated he was 335 pounds at that point and he looked it. He was also at his taller at that point (close to 6'8"). He said his heaviest was 350 pounds. As for his weight when he came into the WWE, I would say it was between 285-300 pounds and he slowly gained weight as the years went by and in 2001 he began to shed it all and more.
Danimal, are you putting kane as low as 6'5.5'' then? I certainly hope not.

could be true danimal, he just looked a little slimmer than 285 in 1990 to me, but his shirt could have hidden his size i suppose. Id totally agree with rest or your statemant.... what do you think nash weighed back in 93 and at his biggest. Ive stood next to both of them in hotel lobby in 1994, they were together for about 20 mins and nash was noticably bigger, looked at least 2 inches taller, i remember thinking undertaker was tall like someone you see every few months but nash could have been the tallest person id ever seen..

Regarding Kane's dome size, even though he might look like a pinhead next to Show and Khali, he's got a huge head compared to your average adult male.

I'd guesstimate that his head is 10.5" at a minimum, and maybe pushing 11".

Kane hunched down is about as tall as the door, up straight clearly taller. Decent case for the guy being a legit, barefoot 6'8". Unless all of these people are 5'0", the doors 6'4", and the hallway ceiling nothing 7', Kane is a really big dude out in the real world sans "lifts".

When Kane says he's 6'8.5" I'm inclined to believe him personally, he could claim more & most people would believe him but he doesn't.
He seems like a really nice guy too, it's a shame he's never had a proper WWE Championship reign since he's been a huge star for over 11 years.

Very interesting video with a man who is "A little over 6ft" according to him. Here is what he posted.
"I'm a little over 6 feet tall, and he towered over me. You can see it in the video. He also worked security for Dr. Paul, and even in a crowd, there's no mistaking Glenn.
He's a great guy, and I was really blown away by his knowledge and insights."
Extrememly funny to see how Knowledgible he really is. Onto height, well idk to the untrained eye he could only appear 6'5'' in that video. But i'd say the guy comes up to right under his nose. Granted the guy is standing straight as an arrow with his chin up look at him, i'd say Kane looks a solid 6'8'' to me.

I know I've posted this video many times before. But from 1 second to 26 seconds in this video you get to see: A look at Glens footwear, Glen with "Regular" sized people, and a haft-decent comparison with Kane and a doorway. I'd also like to point out Kanes very poor posture, As you will be able to tell he never picks his head up. Doorways in my area (Western pa) are 6'8'' to the top of the door, 6'10'' at the top of the doorframe. Kane looks to have an about a .5'' advantage over the doorway even with relativly poor posture. It be nice if someone good make some stills of kane beside the door. If someone mentions he has lifts on in this video, i would ask do you think he is really trying to get his height over at a Republican convention during one of his few times off on a 300 day+ traveling work schedule?

Danimal- I read an article about a year or two ago that had Taker at 6'8" 285. Obviously, the 6'8" was his peak, but was he really 285 say 12-13 years ago? When he debuted, I don't think he was over 260.
I have to admit, he seemed pretty thin in his early years. Even as late as 1996. Look at him with a minimum of a 300lb Kevin Nash Click Here he's definitely much thinner.

To be 6'8'' Kane needs to be a foot taller then Mamun. Mamun would be 5'9'' in the picture. Mamun also appears to be 2 inches lower then Kanes chin, from the tip of Mamuns forehead not counting hair. Which would make kanes head a plausiible 10'' to 11''. Also, Mamun has come on this page before and state Kane appeared to be 6'9'' in this picture and also had big footwear on, I think he said boot but im not sure. Can we agree?

i think he could well have been 260 when he made his debut, his outfit made it quite hard to tell and the early 90's was when the steroid testing came in for the first time so most guys got pretty slim, look at nash in 93 i remember him on the uk tv show the big breakfast in 95 and im sure he said he weighed 300. he was far bigger in 95 then 93.
stan lane said in 1995 that scott hall was 6'5 and 260lbs on an episode of superstars or something, i remember being shocked cos iaways though he was billed height of 6'7 and weight of 287.

I wouldn't give Taker more than 280 these days either. He's lost the weight for the benefit of his career though. A guy of his size and his age just wouldn't be able to compete well at 330lbs. He's still very athletic, but he's had to shed a lot of weight to keep it that way.
I think Kane was at his biggest when he first came into the WWE back in '97. He was enormous then. He thinned out during 1999 though, and then started getting huge again towards the end of 2000. He was a monster during 2001, and strong as hell. When he came back in 2002 he looked a lot thinner again. These days he still looks well north of 300 lbs, but not as muscular.

Its hard to tell kanes weight today, he has lost muscle but put a lot of fat on his waist, when your on 'supliments' you often look heavier than you are, ive seen guys look huge in the gym and only weigh 210lbs and guys who look like nothing weigh 240lbs.
I wouldnt be suprised if kanes roughly the same weight as the late 90's

Kane is still massive today, people seem to forget. He still makes Undertaker look skinny, and he doesn't even look too outmatched by the likes of Khali.
Undertaker is a SHADOW of his former self (PRE-2001). He was a very big (heavy man) up until 2000. He was floating around 335 pounds in 1999-2000. By 2001-2003 he looked to have trimmed down by about 50 pounds, taking him down to about 285. TODAY, he looks to be NO MORE than 260-275 pounds. Kane at his largest was around 345 pounds (late 90's) with a TON of muscle. Today he looks to be about 320 pounds, but not nearly the same amount of muscle he used to carry a decade ago. He was also in his late 20's and early 30's back then. Today he is in his early 40's, so, that makes a difference too.

By 2001-2003 he looked to have trimmed down by about 50 pounds, taking him down to about 285. TODAY, he looks to be NO MORE than 260-275 pounds. Kane at his largest was around 345 pounds (late 90's) with a TON of muscle. Today he looks to be about 320 pounds, but not nearly the same amount of muscle he used to carry a decade ago. He was also in his late 20's and early 30's back then. Today he is in his early 40's, so, that makes a difference too.

"6'7"-6'8" are Sid's, Taker's and Kane's peak height."
I can agree with that. But I don't think all three are the same height. I do agree that no more than an inch separates the shortest and tallest among the three.

Heres a 6'7 guy meeting kane in this website, he said kane had about inch to a inch in half on him or so... check it out Click Here
That's as credible to me as some people claiming to be 7'0" on this site. People always claim they are the same height as pro wrestlers to make themselves feel more important. The guy is probably 5'7". I call B.S.

He's definitely not as big as he was back in the late 90s and the early 00s though. He was truly a machine then.
I still believe Kane is/was pound for pound one of the strongest guys ever to get into the squared circle. Just take a look at those videos when he was man-handling Big Show a few years ago.

I think what was provided with the smw match between the 2 was pretty good cause it made this whole thing alot more debatable however i still think that kane is about an inch taller. If you just take time out to look at them in pics with the same people kane mostly looks like the taller of the 2.

Sid, yea I can see that but Kane had bigger footwear then so would be more an inch difference really I think. Also Kane looked HUGE there. Looks a good 325-330lbs then. Today he's still a big man but not huge like he was.

Da Man, good point, but still I believe taker edges kane, you believe its kane edges taker, so lets call it even ;)
About the picture with Shaq, all things considered I see a max 5 inch difference between the 2, kane is closer but shaq has much better posture, kane is in ring gear but possibly, again possibly shaq has somekind of Basketball shoes which are also big, but its only a possibility, if there was a pic of him that day full body...
As for body mass kane is bigger, he may be closer but he has his body sideways.

The only difference between the SMW and WWF Kane/Taker matches is that Taker's perspective advantage is much less in the WWF match: Click Here
In the SMW match, you can see Kane is on a much lower plane than Taker, and the the SMW match is also shot from higher up (notice the disparity in the top ropes), both of these effects serve to provide Taker with more advantage in the SMW clip.

"Mentally reposition kane in the picture. Shaq is standing with great posture, as for kane his knees are bent and is leaning. Granted his BODY is closer to the camera which is the reasoning for Kane seemingly "Dwarfing" shaq is size, but his head has no advantage. I see Kane right at Shaqs browline Shaq who is obviously in shoes is 7'2'' Kane in his inring attire is standing 6'9.5'' imho. Which puts Kane's late day height at no less the 6'7.5'' barefoot.

No height difference. Taker with the camera advantage, Kane in wrestling boots with probably a little more of a boost then Taker would be taller in that picture via lifts. Making them the exact same height be in 6'7.5'' or 6'8''.

Tall dude beside Kane in shoes estimate is 6'5'', Short dude estimate 5'11''
in shoes, Kane 6'8.5'' in shoes. The 6'5'' estimate for the tall guy is based on a picture with him and Triple H with him easily 2'' over Hunter.

I already said that kane had at least 3 inches in those monster boots but in the 2001 royal rumble his boots arent monster boots and its evident cause kane only has a 1 inch advantage. Maybe only 3 quarters of an inch.

Your basically assuming Takers wrestling in socks. His boot give no less then that of the average sneaker if not more.
Ranstrob, what I'm saying is that in the pic from WRESTLEMANIA 14 UT's shoes didn't give him much of a boost, I'm not saying that he wrestles in that same boot in every single match he ever has. I even said that towards of that same post you copied and pasted that I thought UT had bigger boots today:
KingNick says on 5/Jan/09
That also explains why Kane and UT appeared the same height in that live fan pic someone posted a while back. UT prob wears a normal wrestling shoe now making him closer to 6'9".
Take this pic for example. UT is probably around 6'9" in his boots here and Kane around 6'10" Click Here
Sid, I see what you're saying with seeing them in person. Again, I'm open to the possibility.

"To get to 3 inches the front platform would need to be 1.25 inch, for a true 4 inches over barefoot we are talking 2.25 inches on the front section, which is a huge sized platform.
In the following image, this wedge gets you 2.4 inches over barefoot. So adding larger platforms at the front is really needed to get well beyond 3-inches and near 4 inches."
Quote from rob on heel height truth. So if Kane is 6'7'' and wore 3'' lifts in 1997-2000 as Danimal has said, The toe section of kanes boot would according to you Nicknick would have to be 1'' inch taller then takers whole boot. Click Here
Those Heels are Tops 2.5'' Making the overall boost 2'' or less possibly 1.75''. Kane wasnt wrestling in high heels like oh so many of you seem to believe.

So if Kane was 6'7.5" barefoot, that'd make him 6'10" in those boots. Now here are UT's boots from that match Click Here nearly flat. TOPS .5" boost, probably more like .25". That would make UT around 6'8.5" TOPS. There's your 1.5" to 2" difference.

In Da Man's last pic it looks like Kane's boot soles are double, actually 2.5x to maybe even 3x larger than Undertaker's. Geez, those are some huge boots; it's almost unbelievable if you look at his ankle and where the bottom of his foot would be; almost like he's on mini stilts or platforms. I'd say Kane did have at least 2" advantage in those boots; maybe 2.5" to even 3" and Taker had a 1" advantage in boots so Kane's advantage was for sure over an inch; maybe 1.5"-2". Can't really estimate for sure but Kane definitely had a considerable advantage in his boots.

Tuga low camera angles minimize height differnce, reasoning theres not as noticable of a difference as others. I still dont think you can wrestle quality matches like their match at wr 14 in 2.5in boots. As for undertakers boots they give no less the 1'' at the least i mean really there wrestling boots.

I'm leaning towards Kane being Rob's guestimate of 6'7.5" and I'll show you why with theories and photos.
Everyone knows I'm a firm believer of UT being 6'8", so let's just say for argument's sake he is. Here they are at WM14 with about a 1.5" - 2" difference in Kane's favor Click Here
That same shot shows Kane's boots from WM 14. I'm trying to find a clearer one but check out the 2:22 mark on this video Click Here now I know the question has been brought up of how big can a lift be for a guy to wrestle but I'm sorry, those have to give him AT LEAST a 2.5" boost.
So if Kane was 6'7.5" barefoot, that'd make him 6'10" in those boots. Now here are UT's boots from that match Click Here nearly flat. TOPS .5" boost, probably more like .25". That would make UT around 6'8.5" TOPS. There's your 1.5" to 2" difference.
This particular 2.5" boost also explains how at times Kane can be within 3" of Big Show. Depending on Show's shoes, Kane can appear very close in height if he wears those.
And Kane obviously didn't/ doesn't always wear these super lifts. Here he is looking only 1" taller than UT Click Here
Now think about it. How Kane be taller already yet wear these lifts such as these to be taller than Undertaker by only an inch? Click Here
It only makes sense that they're either the same height or Kane is just a little shorter. That also explains why Kane and UT appeared the same height in that live fan pic someone posted a while back. UT prob wears a normal wrestling shoe now making him closer to 6'9". Kane is probably around 6'9" in his boots now which may give him up to 1.5" boost. Click Here

It only makes sense that they're either the same height or Kane is just a little shorter. That also explains why Kane and UT appeared the same height in that live fan pic someone posted a while back. UT prob wears a normal wrestling shoe now making him closer to 6'9". Kane is probably around 6'9" in his boots now which may give him up to 1.5" boost. Click Here

Ben was measured at 6'4 7/8 at the NFL combine so 6'5 that is but thats in the morning so he's probably just under 6'5 legit but give him 6'5 that still puts Kane at 6'8 max.
Which makes him Atleast 6'6'' in the picture. The nfl combine is an all day event. I don't think theres a Set time for height measurements and other events.

Your right tuga i did word that wrong. But right now i think we are all forcing are opinions on each other, Which i do not agree with. No one for either argument is giving an inch. Theres a difference between discussion and arguments. There to much other evidence to take into account to have one video decide who is taller. My opinion is theres a 95% chance they are the same height with more evidence pointing towards Kane being taller be them with lifts or whatever in more photos/videos kane appears taller. I wish there was a way we can dig up past comments to find the article that listed Kane as a 6'8'' center which was only a couple of months ago.

"If yankem was taller did he loose height at the RR??? NO, he lost footware advantage! Get over it!"
No, but he did lose a posture advantage. Taker was only taller in that video when Kane's feet were spread ridiculously far apart and he was stumbling around. I seriously question the objectively of those that use evidence like this as "defining" evidence.

Tuga needs to get his eyes checked. Mostly every comparison shows kane being taller even without his lifts. He didnt have any monster shoes on as yankem. He didnt have any monster shoes on as fake diesel. As kane he wears them at certain points and sometimes he doesnt. The 2001 Royal Rumble staredown kane isnt wearing monster shoes. IN fact his shoes were regular sized shoes the same ones he wore in the 2003 Royal Rumble.You can take the 2003 Royal rumble arugument and throw it out the window. Kane had a far wider stance then taker. If you want to make a comparison I repeat HE IS WEARING THE SAME SHOES IN THE 2001 RUMBLE AND THERES A 15 SECOND STAREDOWN. Kane EDGES HIM OUT. kane doesnt always wear monster shoes. WHEN HE DID WEAR MONSTER SHOES AT THERE FIRST WRESTLEMANIA MATCH UP YOU CAN SEE A WAY BIGGER DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT. KANE HAD HIM BY A FEW INCHES AS WELL AS THE TRIPLE THREAT MATCH AGAINST STONE COLD LATER THAT YEAR. HE HAD TAKER BY 3 INCHES. YOU TUBE THAT MATCH AS WELL YOU CAN SEE A DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT. Kanes taller then taker by half of an inch. Also kane has horrible posture . So if kane isnt standing straight up taker can appear taller cause taker has a huge head.

Danimal keeps saying a peak hogan was over 6'6 and now kane is max 6'7 meaning he belives he is under, kane and hogan once the same height, here is a 47 year old hogan with kane Click Here
HAHA... Hogan already had all the major surgeries by 2002 and was barely over 6'3" there (based on how he barely edged out 6'3" MAX Rock) and we have Kane in RING GEAR LIFTS and all. So, we have Hogan at 6'4" and very little change in his boots (NO lifts) and 6'7" Kane in his 3" lifts, putting him up to 6'10". YES, that is what you are seeing.
A PRIME Hogan who was minimum 6'5" BAREFEET would have been 2" MAX shorter than Kane, or possibly 1", if Hogan was a full 6'6".

I no longer see Kane at over 6'7" after seeing Royal Rumble 2003. I think Kane and Sid were the exact same height. Taker was probably about 6'7.5" peak.

Tuga. I have my opinion along with sid , Da Man and others. Kane edges him out a little. You can think what you would like. I met kane on more than one occasion. On one occasion he was wearing the same clothes he wore in the pic with the 6ft4 guy and the pic with me. So i figured hmmm good chance he was wearing black dress shoes.

If anyone is sounding terribly desperate its those for the argument of Taker edging out Kane. Had this been a real debate Da man would have one long ago with just pure better evidence and reasoning behind his points. The people who are blowing up one video of Kane and Undertaker in ring where Taker has the Illusion of being taller is ridiculous. Danimal when you posted your first comment from royal rumble 2001 and you stated Kane was clearly 2'' taller and you believe Undertaker LOST heigh in late 2000 you did not make this big of a deal. 100% of the people who look at Yankem/Taker will say yankem is taller, i really dont see how you guys can clearly without a shadow of a doubt see Undertaker taller Then Yankem it sounds like a case of denial. The one set of photos tuga posted was a very nice find, but The man in the photo with taker i'd say is sitting down but if he isnt There is almost an identical height differnce between the two photos, except Undertaker is closer the the camera with the advantage, where as the photo with Kane the other man has the advantage with Kane further away.

What's funny is that Taker is WAY closer to the camera, and the guy actually appears to be either slouched way forward or sitting on something, judging by his posture. Kane is actually further from the camera than the guy in his pic, and the guy is clearly standing tall next to Kane.

Kane has almost always looked to have the edge on Taker in streets (in less distorted photos) just as he did in the Yankem/Taker video.
Thanks for proving my point, I said this in my post:
Eitherway, this kind of comparisons are dubious because we have no idea of nobodys footware or other factors...

Sorry, I was referring to the 2nd pic, yet anyone with two fully functional eyes can see Taker's head extends beyond the mask in the 1st pic. It does not change the fact that Yankem clearly and plainly has the edge there.

KingNick - very good observation. I honestly think they are the same height barefoot, or if not then definitely within less than an inch of each other. I found this clip with Big Show (a legit 7 footer) and Kane.:
Click Here
At 0:31 they look about 2-3 inches of each other..Now granted Kane probably was wearing lifts here, but the lowest that would make him is 6'9, or very close to it.
I posted that clip a while ago on the Big Show board. Kane indeed only looks 2-3 inches shorter there. I have many staredowns of these two and Kane always looked 2-3 inches shorter. It wasn't until recent years, that Big Show suddenly looked taller. Kane was probably wearing smaller lifts there. Still Big Show never wore any small footwear either. So in this staredown, he's at least 7'1 in his boots (probably a bit more). Kane would therefore be 6'10-6'11 in his boots. There's no way a 6'6 guy to be that tall in wrestling boots. Most are forgetting the fact that he also needs to be able to wrestle in them. Do you think it's possible for someone to do a top rope clothesline (a signature move that Kane did in nearly every match) in 3-4 inch lifts? I don't as the chances of him snapping his anckle is extremely high.

After all, in lifts Kane could appear 2 inches taller than Taker. I don't think his lifts gave him 4 inches, that's pretty ridiculous.

I agree thats its very hard to call now with these films. In the 1995 smw match its looks like its a tough angle but there to me it looked the same height. I know kane wears lifts but heres a good question. How come everyone makes the assumption that taker has never worn lifts. Theres plenty of matches in takers career where he looked different heights. Against hogan in 1990 he looked to only had 1 inch on him. That was a prime hogan but hogan in his prime was no more than 6ft5 and change. Now hogan is 6ft4 barely. Maybe a little under.

I believe Someone Found old High School articles of kane in his basketball days a few months ago which stated him as a 6'8'' Center. Which holds water considering there is no place in college basketball for a 6'6'' center as some people are putting him at now.

Theres no height difference in the SMW video nicknick but that is sure a hell of a find. Remember in those types of staredowns the favor goes to the one further away.

danimal, at the 5.22 part kane isnt even CLOSE to straight, a blind man could see that,..... jeez.... infact i have to ask why rob allows you to continue to post about this, because you ARE wrong mate, its not that we are pciking on you, its jsut kanes legs are far apart, his legs not straight, in a slouched position, and when they stood up straighter they are clearly similar height, there is 2 inches there at that VERY moment, but that very moment happens to be when kane isnt even close to fully erect.

Editor Rob it's tough to say on some of those videos, taker does look taller but kane seems a bit stumbly.

KingNick - very good observation. I honestly think they are the same height barefoot, or if not then definitely within less than an inch of each other. I found this clip with Big Show (a legit 7 footer) and Kane.:

At 0:31 they look about 2-3 inches of each other..Now granted Kane probably was wearing lifts here, but the lowest that would make him is 6'9, or very close to it.
