We all know that Kane is a big tough guy but beside Mamun, he looks 6'7" and beside Eric he looks 6'8" or over.
KingNick said on 4/Sep/08
Ghost, Viscera sported HUGE footwear, maybe even bigger than Kane's

Still, I don't think Kane is 6'9" either barefoot. I'm thinking maybe 6'8" now, 6'8.5" tops
Big King said on 4/Sep/08
Woah! No way, Kane is under 6'8"!! He looks almost a foot taller than Eric!

"So now Kane is 6'9 again?

People need to remember that Kane was only a hair taller than 6'6,5 Viscera

Perhaps you didn't notice Kane is obviously taller even though the ring is heavily tilted in V's favor?

Kane as a good inch on Big Daddy V, Kane only looks a hair taller when he matches V's eye level.
adam said on 4/Sep/08
JBL 6-4 my ass. At least an inch more. He looked like 3-4 inches taller than
Batista. JBL had a footwear advantage by one inch but still! Batista is 6-3.

And CM Punk looks like 5 inches shorter than JBL.

Yeah, I think Jason was off there but I originally pegged JBL at 6-4. JBL looks 6-4 tops I think there with CM Punk.

"Jason thought JBL looked 6-3 at most in person".

No way. JBL never looks less than 6'4" and he may be closer to 6'5" in reality.

Humm, do you think now Kanes kinda a heel he may eb wearing his munsters again hence why he was so taller than JBL.


No, Kane was wearing his normal boots. You'll never see kane in munsters again just because it greatly hinders his wrestling performance thats already lacking cause of age. I dont know the exact height difference in the jibbl/kane staredown but i thought kane made jibbl look rather small.

I was quite surprised by how much bigger Kane looked than JBL. Taker never looked that much bigger than JBL in height or build.
Captain Spaulding said on 3/Sep/08
If mamun's and eric's heights are correct then kane looks 6'9". Plus he usually looks an inch taller then taker whos 6'8"

Ranstrob says "Uhhh ohhhh, The stare down between Jbl and Kane tonight is going to raise some questions."


hhhmm well i wonder what this means :)

I saw Kane and JBL had barely any difference in height about 2 or 3 weeks back when they were backstabbin each other in the ring..I thought there would be discussion then. I have seen Randy Orton and JBL backstage with barely any difference, yet i have seen considerable difference between Kane and Orton backstage..kane might have been tippy toe-ing haha..well waddya do eeh?. will have to watch this upcoming episode..

would like to add that there is nothing scientific in my observations accept that they were just that, observations [/legal disclaimer]

"Uhhh ohhhh, The stare down between Jbl and Kane tonight is going to raise some questions."

Even though JBL has a perspective advantage at 3:22 when their full bodies are visible, and in the other clips Kane is either further from the camera or leaning into JBL, he still made him look short. Easily 3" there, probaby more. Kane looked tall next to JBL in a way I have never seen Taker look.

Alex2 said on 2/Sep/08
Robby yea oone of my favorite games, don't get much time to play that much anymore though I have played all 3 FEAR's. Alex, yea if you include Kanes mask etc 2-2.5" max WWE should really still have him wear his munsters. Thanks KingNick, Ill try and see if I can get a shot of his shoes soon.

Shaq says on 1/Sep/08
I met Big Show once in person, he is 7'1" in shoes , In shoes I actually am 7'2" but 7'1" barefoot. WWE just exaggerated his 7'2 height. I always use my barefoot height, i'm tall enough already as it is.

LOL, What? Are you saying that your 7'1"? are you like actually Shaq lol?
Ghost said on 2/Sep/08
It that pic Kane is definately on lifts and if Big Show stood straight and didn't lean to look Kane in the eyes he would easily be 3 inches taller.
Rantsrob said on 2/Sep/08
3:20 onwards if you care to look Click Here Kane seems to be standing taller then the top of Jbls hat. 2.5-3 inches is what i got out of it Kane made Jbl look like a smaller man no doubt. Jbl is a big 6'5''-6'5.5'' plus boots could be standing 6'6.5'' in the video. 3inch difference Puts kane at 6'9.5'' in ring gear like i've always stated.

You think so? I thought Kane had quite a bit of height on him. This is the only photo I can find (pic 5 or 7) Click Here

I thought Kane had about 3" on him. I see JBL as anywhere 6'5" - 6'6" barefoot.
Mamun said on 2/Sep/08
Shaq , would you be kind enough to provide us a picture of yours ?

thats a better angle and show with a much better posture, its at least 3 inches difference, thats about 1 second before the camera zooms in Click Here
Drexyl said on 2/Sep/08
Kane looked like he had quite a significant height advantage over JBL in their staredown last night. Neither man was standing at their full height, and JBL's hat makes things difficult, but I could see 3-4 inches difference there.
Alex said on 2/Sep/08
Looking at it again, Big Show has barely 2 inches on Kane there I think. I do think Kane's boots are probably giving him at least 2 inches in height.
Robby said on 1/Sep/08
I would say Kane is about 6'8". those lifts that he wore at the 1999 King of the Ring probably made him 6'10" or so. I see you like FEAR. Awesome Game. Can't wait for Project Origin.

Alex2 said on 1/Sep/08
Alex, yea, I also think that J.R. said this "Big Show's 7'2" and Kane about 6'10.5" maybe 6'11" I mean J.R could have easily said 7'0" for Kane there since he was likely wearing his munsters. Alex I also think Kane's mask added a little bit of height as he also had the very long hair and the mask kinda came above his head a little.
Clay said on 1/Sep/08
Thats about the tallest I've ever seen Kane look.

Alex2, excellent shot. Man when Kane had big shoes and great posture! Got a shot of his shoes by any chance? Maybe we can compare them to todays.
Rantsrob said on 1/Sep/08
Big show isnt standing at his full height alex2.
Alex said on 1/Sep/08
Alex 2, I have that PPV on tape myself. During that match JR said Big Show was 7'2 and Kane was 6'11. I dont see 3 inches there. More like just 2 but also this is when Kane had those lifts that gave some decent height to himself. During this time I could see why so many people thought Kane was a legit 6'10-6'11, even 7'0 because he's already very tall, plus lifts and his posture made him appear inches over his real height.
Alex2 said on 1/Sep/08
Last night I found my WWE King Of The Ring 1999 DVD and was watching the Kane vs Big Show match. I managed to get this screeshot of an extremely clear staredown between Kane and Big Show. Both are standing completely straight and not slouching. I see 3 inch tops there. Click Here
Mr. T said on 31/Aug/08
Kane is 6'8" fool, not seven foot, they're lying.
Alex said on 26/Aug/08
When he was Jamal he could have passed for as high as around 350lbs I thought.
hs2008 said on 26/Aug/08
He could be 6'2.5" of course, not necessarily a flat 6'2" which could explain why he looked the same height as Shane McMahon in his barefeet.
Clay said on 24/Aug/08
I could settle with Umaga at 6'2''. It doesnt make sense how he was the same height as 6'2'' Shane McMahon and Umaga of course was barefoot.
Alex2 said on 24/Aug/08
Umagas probably 6'2.5" Batista is a legit 6'3" or better.
hs2008 said on 24/Aug/08
Yeah, Ghost & Alex I agree completely. Umaga is a solid 6'2" guy. Not sure of his weight though, he certainly has slimmed down a lot since he was Jamal. He's probably around 290-300lbs today, still huge just not as fat as he once was.
Alex said on 24/Aug/08
Cena is probably about 6'0.5 barefoot and his sneakers are going to be giving him about 1.5 inches to his barefoot height and he looked pretty much the same as Umaga barefoot. Umaga is 6'2
Ghost said on 24/Aug/08
Umaga is 6'2. He was pretty much the same height barefoot as 6'0,5 John Cena in shoes. He was also a little shorter than 6'2.75 Batista in streetclothes and an inch shorter than 6'3 Rosey.

He is one of the esiest guys to estimate height-wise. His weight I would say is around 310 lbs.
hs2008 said on 23/Aug/08
I don't believe that Umaga is 6'3" as he was a full inch shorter than Matt 'Rosey' Anoi'a in the Island Boys & 3 Minute Warning tag teams.
Click Here
Click Here
Matt was measured at 6'3" himself when he took part in Fat March on ABC.
Look for Matt on the cast/participant list and you'll see he's listed at 6'3" and 386lbs.
Click Here
Click Here
The were billed as 6'4" & 6'5"/6'6" in 3 Minute Warning but i'd say more 6'2"-6'2.5" and 6'3"-6'3.5"
KingNick said on 21/Aug/08
well good news about Umaga is no one can accuse him for wearing lifts :>)
Clay said on 20/Aug/08
Umaga wears padding on his ass? LOL I never knew that I thought he just had a huge ass/lower body! LOL. Well in that case yes he could be as low as 290 nothing under that though.
Dave said on 20/Aug/08
well, in my opinion, that vid goes very well for kane, the supposed 'just over 6'' interviewer is looking up with a straight if not tilted backwards head position looking at the much taller kane, then in contrast, put yourself in kanes shoes, talking to a far smaller man, his posture is laxidasical and anything but straight, if kane were to hold his head like the interviewer and straighten his neck he would give the impression of being much taller than he looks at times in the vid, to me this vid makes kane look 6'8, i really believe so, lets say the guy is scraping 6'1, now if kane were to stand straight, head back, there would be an easy 7 inch difference,

i think we can safely say that glenn jacobs is anything between 6'7 and the upper end of 6'8..... hes never ever under 6'7, i think we can all agree on this, i say 6'8
Alex said on 20/Aug/08
When Umaga was Jamal he looked to be at least 320-325lbs. He now looks more around just 300lbs.
Rikashiku said on 20/Aug/08
hmm my comment didn't go through.

Clay: he is wearing padding. so he doesn't hurt the other wrestlers to bad.

plus, muscle is heavier than fat and Umaga has lost alot of both.

he jiggles more so that means its loose fat.

hes lost weight. he looks about 290-280lbs. tops and 6'3
flash_of_eden said on 20/Aug/08
kane looks to have over a foot on 5ft 8 mamun...
karen Occardi Aka littlesqueak said on 19/Aug/08
what is the real hight of glen kane Jacobs?
Rantsrob said on 18/Aug/08
In sids video. Kane has a very loose posture and it appears the interviewer is closer to the camera. The guy appears to be a shade taller the eric in the picture above. So i would put the guy in the video anywhere from. 6' to 6'1''. At 5:27 kane appears to stand taller but not full errect and seems to have his nose slightly above the guys head if you take hair out of the picture.
Red said on 18/Aug/08
I have probs to give Glenn a full 6
ronald rezzinghuanov said on 18/Aug/08
kane looks 7'1 in that clip, look at his collar bones
Alex said on 17/Aug/08
I heard an inch of height is 3-5lbs of body weight. I wouldn't guess no 10lbs for that.
Gazz said on 17/Aug/08
on the youtube the guy says underneath thats hes just over 6 ft...in that case kanes looking about 6'9ish
huage!
Clay said on 17/Aug/08
Rikashiku: look at the size of Umaga's lower body. He's 320 pounds at least.
chris said on 16/Aug/08
how can you estimate his height from that clip?

how tall is the other guy?
sid said on 16/Aug/08
Heres a video of Glenn jacobs this is at the liberty forum, it's a new interview. perhaps you people cant estimate his height Click Here
Rikashiku said on 16/Aug/08
Like i said, a bodybuidlers site listed Kane at 6'10 and 340lbsm, possible WWE billing so it would really be 6'8 and 330lbs. but he was a buff dude in 2001

and it listed UT at 6'10 and 330lbs. again likley 6'8 and 320lbs.

others included.

Nash- 7'0 at 335lbs [looking at him i would say 6'10-6'11 at 300-290lbs, he was more lean than buff and muscles and fat]

HHH- listed at 6'5 and 285lbs in 2000 [i say his peak is 6'3, now just over 6'2 and now looking 260lbs]

Batista was on a Radio tation here in NZ and he said before he got into wrestling he weight 340lbs. Believable since Leviathan was 335lbs.
heightwise on the site it listed him at 6'6

Randy Orton- Listed at 6'5 and 260lbs in 2003-2004. back then he was bigger. i say 255lbs, at 6'4. now 220lbs at 6'4. he would have lost weight since he got injured.

Mark Henry- was listed at 6'3 and 441lbs. but alot of other sites claim 6'1. which i will go for. and 351lbs for now.

Umaga- Not much talk of him, WWE listed him at 6'4 and 350lbs. NOWAY.
he is a tall guy. he is taller than alot of guys in his bare feet. 2 inches on 6'1 Armando Estrada. and thats in shoes[Loafers?] so yea i say 6'3 for Umaga and weight i say 280-290lbs. hes not a big guy but hes not small either

Khali- the star of body building. height listed at 7'1 and weight listed at 430lbs. looking at him now i say 7'1 ish, 410lbs.
Alex2 said on 15/Aug/08
Ola says on 13/Aug/08
no kidding Alex2! thats the most ridiculous list we have ever seen....

No joke Ola :) That is rediculous, worse than your Hogan claims lol but lets not go there :)
Drexyl said on 15/Aug/08
I wouldn't say Kane was at his biggest now at all. He looked a lot bigger when he first entered the WWF in 1997. He thinned out but then he gained a lot of muscle back on in 2001/early 2002.

He's lost a fair bit of muscle now. I'd guess he's around 300 nowadays, and nowhere near as strong as he once was.
Rantsrob said on 14/Aug/08
i wouldnt put kane a 350lbs at his biggest. Hes at his biggest now and hes probably 315-320. a 6'8'' 350lb man is alot bigger then what you guys think.
Atoadaso said on 14/Aug/08
Nash was really enormous when he was playing his 'Oz' character. He was well north of 300 pounds considering his height. His legs were also much more defined unlike later when slimmed noticeably and most of his mass was in his upper body.
Alex said on 13/Aug/08
That may be the most bizzare list I've seen. Not just because the heights are off but the difference between the wrestlers. Kane 5 1/2 inches taller than UT. Batista an inch taller than UT. And so on.
Clay said on 13/Aug/08

They always used to bill Batista at 6,6". It was ridiculous in his evolution days when he'd be standing next to a billed 6,4" Randy Orton and Orton would be actually slightly taller.

Another great point, that drove me nuts!
Danimal said on 13/Aug/08
Alex says on 12/Aug/08
Kane at his heaviest I think was 330lbs. Nash I would put at 320-325lbs at his biggest, close to Kane's size but taller.

Kane at his heaviest was 345 pounds and Nash around 330 pounds. Hogan was 330 pounds. Sid was 330 pounds at his heaviest and Big John Studd was at least 360 pounds and probably much heavier in later years (as high as 405 pounds I heard). All these men were between 6'5"-6'8", so almost a foot taller than the average man. 1" of height over 6'0" is usually equivalent to 10 pounds of bodyweight and these men were ALL HUGE.

D-Lurker said on 11/Aug/08
J.R mentioned Batista @ 6ft6 the other night (must have been the saturday night show) He must do it to emphasize the height of the bigger blokes in the ring..Kane was in the same match for instance.

(I stick to the 6ft8 range, though my reasons have been discussed ad-nauseum)
Da Man said on 11/Aug/08
tuga says on 10/Aug/08
"Hogan was mentioned in the same mags as 6'8 and he FOR SURE is no taller than kane."

Which is funny, seeing as how Kane looks 4-5" taller than Hogan everytime I've seen them together. Peak Hogan would likely stack up to Kane very little to no better than Roethlisberger did.

A few decent comparisons from 0:44-0:51 here and a pretty good one if you pause it at 1:27 even though Kane is leaning: Click Here

Sid and Ola:

Guys, those are BILLED heights and weights from PRO WRESTLING ILLUSTRATED. My point was how crazy their billings are.

KingNick says on 7/Aug/08
Here's some of what I was talking about. PRO WRESTLING ILLUSTRATED releases an "almanac" every year on wrestling history and in it they have a stats section. Here's just a few highlights of their BILLINGS from the 2005 edition:

Snitsky: 6'10" , 310lbs

Kane: 6'7" , 326 lbs

The Big Show: 7'2" , 485lbs

Rhyno: 6'3" , 275lbs (I know a guy who wrestled Rhyno, said he was 5'10")

Nash: 7' , 335lbs (I remember seeing a 7'1" listing before. In the 1999 PWI issue they had him as 356lbs).

Matt M-M-M-M-Morgan : 7' , 330lbs

Jim Neidhart: 6'1" , 275 lbs

The list goes on and on. My point is that's where I think the 6'7" Kane claim came from, not from Smokey Mountain Wrestling.

eric 1 I agree , he looked 6'9 when he was unabomb, you can thow our the 6'7 notion
Rantsrob said on 8/Aug/08
Karl malone is probably in shoes is standing 6'9'' in the pic. Thus, making kane stand 6'10'' in ring gear at his absolute peak height of 6'8'' now after being over weight and over 6'5'' 40+ stands 6'7'' 6'7.5'' barefoot. /end discussion thank you for coming.

Why would PWI have these bogas heights, they have sniztky at 6'10 when Kane is taller wtf, kane is 6'8 barefeet, sniztky what 6'5 6'6 bare with 2 inch lifts making him 6'8. kane is clearly taller then sniztky. SMV, didnt didnt bill Glenn jaacobs as 6'7 I remember watching a smv match Kane as unibomb, they said standing at 6'8 330 pounds UNIBOMB!!!!!! It was on one of my friend tape that he bought back then, it seemed like he recorded it off someone, he told me to believe him that he bought it, anyways kane is 6'8 to 6'8'5. so he lost 05inches making him 6'8

tuga, that article is from Pro Wrestling Illustrated. I use to buy they're magazines, they're the ones that billed Kane 6'7", not Smokey Mountain (where he first Wrestled Undertaker.) PWI also bills Snitsky as 6'10" and Nash as 7'1". They're billings are all over the place.

I had it too. It was published in 1999-2000 and YES, they had Kane at 6'7" and 345 pounds and Taker at 6'8" and 335 pounds. Both men were VERY heavy up until 2000 or so and YES, PRE-2000 Taker would have been AT LEAST Kane's height if not a little more than him, seeing Kane used to have HUGE boots, yet only had about 1.5" on Taker, so if they had the same footwear, Taker would have been the same height as him. Anyways, we saw their face off when Kane was Isaac Yankem in the mid 90's.

Nash always used to be billed at 7,1" in WCW I think.

Sid said on 6/Aug/08
Jiga Are you blind Kane in that pic with Karl Marlone he had a inch on him, it's pretty hard to wrestle and walking in 2 inches of lifts or on your heel, I have lifts in my shoes you can't barely walk in them, so kane has a inch makes him 6'8, which would make kane 6'8 barefeet, people saying 2 inches lifts plus the boots, thats gonna be hard to walk in, he always walked awkard, thats cause he has bad knees, even as yankem when his soles where flat, he had no lifts inside, he walked funny then, it's how he moves makes him look funny!!!!!!!!!
JT said on 6/Aug/08

Anthony said on 5/Aug/08
From everything I have read Karl Malone is supposed to be 6'9? Thats from NBA.com but I guess it is possible the NBA have over exaggerated his height. I still think kane is AT LEAST 6'8 barefoot and 6'9-6'10 in ring gear ( with the munsters on ) These days ( unmasked ) he is looking more 6'8.5-6'9 is his smaller boots
Da Man said on 5/Aug/08
Nevermind, I saw where Malone was actually measured at 6'8" for the 1992 Olympics.

AnonymousHunter said on 5/Aug/08
tuga - that was wrong information for both his height and weight. When Yankem would be introduced to the right he was never introduced as 345lbs, any video will prove that.

sid - in the picture with malone he looks 6'9" because he is probably wearing no more than a 1.5" boot, that is my speculation though.

There is a video on youtube where he "shoot" fought Daisuke Ikeda 5'11" in Japan, and looked at least 6'8". Both of them were wearing runners..
sid said on 5/Aug/08
tuga That made no sense, how come Glen jacobs is billed at 6'7, then you say thats proof that Glen is 6'8, why would they under bill him, then over bill him, maybe the writer made a mistake, no ones perfect, I'd stay kane is 6'8 bare feet, ring gear 6'9 makes more sense in the malone pic, he was a inch taller then malone in ring gear so he had to be 6'8 bare to make him 6'9

A peak UT would be at least the same height as Kane today or around there. Kane looked taller by an inch back then when UT was taller was because he had those big lifts on.

Sushi, nice estimations, I don
Ray said on 2/Aug/08
Yes, it's obvious Kane has bigger footwear and has for years. Kane as Yankem barely edged out Taker and I'm not certain about his boots either and like others have said, Taker had a wider stance in the staredown. Everytime I see a post where someone says Kane has .5" or 1" on Taker I subtract Kane's larger boot advantage and really no one knows how much it really is or what may be inside his boots; Kane could have.5" or 1" advantage over Taker's boots and dare I say possibly a hair more; Kanes boots look funny and are shiney to possibly hide internal lift. He does run slow in the ring; you can see kane has to struggle a bit to run - almost as if he has to build up steam - starts slow and then gets going due to his large boots; that's why Undertaker is and has been so quick - no lifts and flatter boots. Undertaker has always moved well.

if Kane is seven feet, than I should bill myself 7'1" and the WWE should have kept billing Big Show 7-2, B.S. I actually am 7 feet tall, barefoot. in shoes i'd be up to 7-1.

more 7foot trolls. -_-

yep BS does have 4 inches on kane. and both also wear very thick, revealing boots.
especially bigshow who one day appears an inch shorter than KHali, then as tall as Khali, then 3 inches shorter.

this just tells me BS flattened his shoes, this can happen. once i didnt wear a pair of shoes for 2 weeks. i wear them for the first time and i felt alot taller than i did in my other ones i wore the whole time.
AnonymousHunter said on 2/Aug/08

"Did you see my recent videos of kane and taker? Can you tell any difference in their height? Did you see the pics I posted with both men current footware?
Did you compare kane and taker staredown with khali?

How can people just ignore all the evidence posted here?!"

In two of the videos you posted Kane was plainly taller, see the video with the two walking down the entrance ramp with Sara between them for example. The recent Smack Down video was a horrible comparison as Kane was clearly slumping as he pulled up his elbow pad, not standing tall as you claim.

For every pic where Kane and Taker look similar in height, there is another where Kane looks a full inch taller. This is to be expected when two guys are that close in height.

Khali means NOTHING when we have staredowns between Kane and Taker directly.

In current footwear Kane is roughy 1" taller than Taker: Click Here
In his mega soled boots of 98-00 he was 1.25" - 1.5" taller than Taker: Click Here Click Here
As Yankem he was clearly about 0.5" taller than Taker with footwear that was every bit as flat as Taker's. You claim that is only looking only at eye level, but that isn't the case. You claim Taker had a wider stance. Marginally wider, but he was also on a higher plane in the photo.
Click Here

Kane's eye level is also pretty low on his head similar to Taker's, he does not have a high eyeline and small forehead like Sid so the feature argument doesn't wash. Click Here

I guess the real question is, how can you ignore all the evidence that has posted (and been consistent) over the past 2 years?

AnonymousHunter I will agree Kane is 6'8, saying kane 6'7 is absurbed, he was 6'7 they wouldnt bill him as 6.10 to 7ft 6'8 man can pass for a 6.10 man in wrestling, 6'7 man can pass for a 6'9 man
AnonymousHunter said on 1/Aug/08
Mr. Editor I think there is sufficient evidence provided by the good people that use this site to prove that Glen Jacobs is truly at least 6'8" tall. You can copy and paste urls and type messages till you're blue in the face, but the fact of the matter is that his height is still being understated despite everything that's been presented through the history of this site. I think the only way his height will be raised is if we approach this diplomatically and take a vote. All in favour of raising the stated height to 6'8" back me up on this. With all due respect, it is time to correct this. Who's with me?
Da Man said on 31/Jul/08
He may have shrunk some, there is no way of knowing for sure. The man is 41 years old, over 300 lbs. with knee problems and takes a physical beating something like 250 days of the year. He like most large wrestlers is a pretty good canidate for premature height loss. He still looks very tall (towering) next to guys like Edge and Orton though, so he can't have lost much.
Drexyl said on 31/Jul/08
I don't believe he's shrunk either. His posture has probably gotten worse due to surgeries, but when he stands up completely straight I think he's the same height he's always been.
chris said on 31/Jul/08
why are people saying he has shrunk? for gods sake his not an old man. he has not shrunk. the only way he could of lost height is from his knees since he has had knee problems

Kane hasn't shrunk. I can bet on that. He's always been the same height.

Kane is 6'8 for pete sakes people he still looks tall why can't you people add on 0'5 inches to make a full 6'8, he looks 6'9 in gear, so u take away a inch off his gear his 6'8 it's hard to wear 2 inches lifts in your shoes I have one it's hard to walk. I look 6ft with those shoes on without I'm 5'10 I got myself measured with those shoes, I got a check up he said your 6ft, I said I have lifts in my shoes, he goes why do you need to cheat in height I said I always wanted to be taller, he said not good for the back and knees, so stick to reg shoes he said, they are deff hard to walk.

Who the hell cares what JR has described Kane as? He's no where "near 7 feet" and NEVER was. Hell, JR said Batista was 6-6 last night on RAW lol. Let's get real here. Kane is only 41 years old, he's not going to have lost that much height, if any. The most that this man has legitimately lost is about 1/2 an inch or so. He was listed @ 6-8 in college, so I could believe he was NEAR 6-8 tops, but today he is more 6-7 or 6-7.5 imo.
sid said on 29/Jul/08
Red When Glenn jacobs was Yankem kane had a fair size and height advantage on taker, at that time he was a jobber, so there was no need for him to wear lifts, his soles wore flat, you could tell inside that he didn't wear any lifts, if he did he would be walking funny like. My friend who just recently joined wrestling, he said jobbers don't wear lifts there there to make the main guys look good no need for height booast, when your nothing, top guys wear them, since yankem never wore them, he was taller then taker by a inch, I always thought kane was always taller then taker in street cloth and in ring, i'd still say kane is 6'8 he's still tall dude, even with his gear, too me he looks 6'9 in gear, 6'8 bare, thats still tall as hell, if your taller then the door, your a freak, cause freaks can be cool lol

He was also listed 6'9" in Pro Wrestling Fujiwara Gumi. He was once again listed at 6'9" as Yankem in the WWF. I don't recall his Fake Diesel listing but I'm guessing 6'9" or 6'10".

His college basketball and football teams listed him at 6'8", he was listed by his HS basketball team at 6'7" at 16 y/o. There's no way in hell a professional wrestling league listing him as LESS than his college sports listings. Come on...

It would be nice to know what the clearance for the doors are at each venue. I know the standard here in Australia is 6'8 but in arena's they are a bit higher.

Red Well ya thats how much he looked like he lost, he looked taller in 2001 in street cloth when I saw him, he did shrink,not much 6'8'5 to 6'8, 6'7'5 cmon add on another 5 cm he would be a full 6'8, I still think he is taller then taker, thats how he looked when I saw them in person, 6'7 is too low for kane. I dount kane wears 2 inches lift, maybe 1 to make him 6'9, i wear lifted shoes there hard to walk in, they add on 2.25 inches they are a kill drag to walk in, so I doubt kane wear 2 inches in his shoes, it would be to hard to walk in, he's 6'9 in ring gear maybe 6'10.

Of course the evidence with Big Ben isnt 100 percent proof because we cant see feet, but it sure isnt "crazy" to say that Kane is 6-7ish because that pic sure shows it.

Ben in shoes could of been standing 6'5 3/4'' or 6'6'' + depending on footwear. Kane could of even be barefooot for changing purposes or in his in ring gear. Not enough evidence to confirm that picture

I can almost gurantee if you measured Kane hed be 6'8'-6'9 whats so hard to see him being that height??? Uhh

6'7 isn't crazy for Kane. I could believe it but I think he's more 6'7 1/2 though. And Ben was measured at 6'5 in the morning but it wasn't out of bed though but he still may be 6'4 3/4 for most of the day.

Khali at 420 and Big Show at 440 makes no sense though as Big Show visibly looks about 50 pounds heavier still, which puts Khali anywhere from 375-400.

Kane is billed 326 lb, what was funny, at WM24 they said 315 for some reason.
It`s kinda strange, because they are way of when it comes to his height, but when it comes to his weight, IMO they are pretty close to the truth. Doesn`t make sense. If Kane really would be 7ft flat, he would easily weigh 350+.

About a year or so ago, I had a "Glen Jacobs" on my myspace friends list. I know there are a lot of fake accounts on myspace and I was sceptical about this one, but this one was supposed to be confirmed as "real", as it was his official myspace page, so I added this individual.

He had listed himself as 6' 7" and even had a piece of text where he said he's 6'7" and he wears 3 inch lifts to make him 6' 10" tall. He had a question and answer period, weekly I think, where he would answer people's questions. I asked him why he no longer uses the Tombstone Piledriver as his finisher and he said it is because of his knee problems and he can only really do the chokeslam but 'you never know' he might use it if he feels his opponent deserves it. He also said his favourite move was the Bill Goldberg Jackhammer and that he misses Bill..

The answer sounded believable, although, as most of us know, the authenticity of myspace should be questioned and can not be taken at face value. Although it was his "official" myspace page, it might very well have been a fan site stating Glen's estimated height. Or if it was his site, he might have taken his barefoot height at day's end (assuming it's 6' 7.5") and rounded it down to 6' 7". From all his (real-life) interviews he seems like a really down to earth guy and not one that would try to overestimate his height. I guess someone should have tried to confirm if what was posted on the profile page about the height is actually correct, but from what I remember this page eventually got taken down (possibly proof it was not the real G. J.'s myspace page). That page no longer exists.

However, whether the myspace page was real or not, I am skeptical that 6' 7" or even 6' 7.5" is truly his barefoot height...This goes against the many, many eye witness accounts where he has told fans face to face that he is 6' 8" (or 6' 8.25" or 6' 8.5") tall barefoot. I know that a person's height can wary throughout the course of the day. I measured in at 6' 4.75" (195 cm) at the doctor's office early in the day, but when I measured myself at night after a long day of work, I stood 6' 4.25" (194cm). This 1/2" difference can be attributed to spinal compression and is probably more pronounced for heavier individuals.

When compared to Mark Callaway, he looks 1/2" taller, but no more than that. The best comparison was when as Yankem he stood face-to-face with him at about that much taller. His shoes looked to be about 1.5 inches thick, same as Taker's so that might be our best estimate so far. The only way to really find out his height is to somehow ask Glen Jacobs himself.

Omg I never said it was Kane! Lol! I said Kane had 15" on him in their backstage fing. Sorry

Punk ain't think, he isn't big, he looks about 180 190
Clay said on 20/Jul/08
Punk 180 pounds? He is at least 215/220.
Vegas said on 19/Jul/08
my friend is just short of 5'11 and he weighs 185lb and punk looks heavier than him, punk ain't under 200lb imo, he is a thick dude.

kane is at least 300lb these days he has a beer belly lol
KingNick said on 19/Jul/08
Thanks for posting that link, Ghost. God I love Kane!

I think 6'1" looks about right for Punk, maybe 6'. He matched up pretty well to Batista Click Here (see 2 min and on) I doubt Punk is more than 200lbs tho, maybe 180
Ghost said on 19/Jul/08

Kane and CM Punk. Punk is 6'1?
Red said on 19/Jul/08
Jiga that sounds good but he could give his height in normal shoes. He looks 1 inch taller than Taker as masked Kane with footwear advantage.

Clay said on 18/Jul/08
Poor Noble. 5'6'' is short for someone who isnt even a wrestler, lol.
Anonymous said on 18/Jul/08
he looks pretty much like 6 8 , but then what about undertaker whats HIS original height??
mike said on 18/Jul/08
that was snitsky ,not kane.
Rocky said on 18/Jul/08
Alex2 Thats not Kane you Gomer lol thats sniztky, kane had more height on noble then sniztky did.
Jiga said on 17/Jul/08
exactly if Kane goes around himself saying 6'8.5 it's a bit off 7', his billed height so he's got to be telling the truth.
Dan said on 17/Jul/08
i read somewhere that kane himself says he is 6'9 everday life and 6'10 when in wrestling gear....back in 97-00 he was more near 7' with the bigger soles to make it look like he had a much bigger advantage on taker,taker himself says he is around 6'9...seems pretty realistic....if anyone can find it thers sum pics on the net from when kane fought matt morgan in ovw back in 2003 when he had the belt costume!
Alex2 said on 16/Jul/08
Well, last night on RAW Jamie Nobel was in a backstage promo with some diva and She called him "short" and then Jamie went on to say "5'6 isnt small" Click Here , so this may mean that his legit height is 5'6" and Kane did look to have 15" on him.
Alex said on 16/Jul/08
Big Show could be 4.5 inches or maybe 5 inches taller than Kane. Kane comes only a bit above his eye level. I would say Big Show still is 7'0 though at times he can look less but that puts Kane at 6'7 and change. This listing for Kane may be right on the money.

Test I would say is a legit 6'5 but he didn't look that tall with Brock Lesnar though but who knows if someone had bigger footwear in that match. Kane was at least 2 inches taller than Test too.
Alex2 said on 16/Jul/08
Viper says on 15/Jul/08
Kane being 4 inches shorter than Big Show makes complete sense. Big Show looks 6-11 max these days. That makes Kane 6-7. You are not going to get much better picture evidence than Kane with a measured NFL player.

Yea, and what evidence do YOU have to prove Show is only 6'11"? 7'0" becauseof Khali staredowns (The guys still in hsi 30's)
Da Man said on 16/Jul/08
Except the pic wasn't a full body shot, and assuming that is the real height difference Kane and Ben R. is simply guessing. It's not like we have several encounters between the two to get and idea of what it going on there. Kane looks over 6'7" quite a bit, he actually looks 6'7.5" - 6'7.75" with Roethlisberger IMO.

And IMO there is actually a pretty good possibility Show is still 6'11.5" - 7'0" when he doesn't slouch, he looked it with Mayweather and Akebono for example. That would bring Kane up to the 6'8 region, which he himself claims.
Rocky said on 16/Jul/08
Kane looks 3 inches shorter then big show, his head comes up to big shows eyes, thats 3 inches or so

Test is 6-5 at most, and could even be slightly under that.
Da Man said on 15/Jul/08
Albert is more 6'6", Test probably 6'5" and change.

Awesome videos KingNick, I actually remember watching all of them happening.
Clay said on 14/Jul/08
Kane tells fans he's 6'8.5, which he very well could be. I wouldn't say he comes close to Big Show though. He is about 4 inches off.
Rocky said on 14/Jul/08
Height Measurement Kane ain't 6'9 and a half, maybe in ring gear, he's 6'8 to 6'8'2'5
KingNick said on 14/Jul/08
Glad you guys liked the videos. Kane's the man!!
AnonymousHunter said on 14/Jul/08
Hi, 'Height Measurement', could you please provide proof to substantiate your claim ?
hs2008 said on 14/Jul/08
We can't see footwear in that pic with Big Ben though. I'd say Kane is legit 6'8" since he claims it in person, when he could claim much taller since he's billed at 6'10"-7'0", and he was listed as that in college.
Rantsrob said on 14/Jul/08
"Even Glen Jacobs, better known as Kane, who was once a school teacher has been reported to bench press easy sets with 405lbs."

Taken from celeb benchpresses. Which is amazing for a man that tall to be doing so much weight.
Rocky said on 14/Jul/08
Kane always looked taller in person in street cloth and in ring gear, I say kane is 6'8 to 6'8'2.5, take more like 6'7'5
OOFatman said on 13/Jul/08
I'm still sticking with 6-7 to 6-7.5 for Kane. Kane only had Vegas' 6-4 friend by 3" to 3.5". He had 2.75" imo on Big Ben. Ben was actually measured at 6-4 and 3/4". If you add 2.75" plus 6'4.75" you get 6-7.5. However, if Kane was in boots he would have most likely had 1/2" advantage on Ben, which would knock him down once again to 6-7. So, 6-7 to 6-7.5 is my estimate.
Alex2 said on 13/Jul/08
How can you all say Kane is under 6'8 just because ofone photo? If Kane is 6'7 then Big Show is 6'10.5 at most.
eric 1 said on 13/Jul/08
Tuga im not saying kane has 2 inches or even one inch. Im saying that kane is taller by less then an inch. We can all argue this till the cows come back to town. Taker is a shade under 6ft8 kane maybe 6ft8 to maybe 6ft8 and change. He told me in person that he was 6ft8 and change. I dont know if anyone remembers but there was this height comparison of this 6ft4 kid with glasses that got photos with alot of wrestlers. SId, taker, kane in those photos kane was standing next to the kid in street clothes . In another pic is the same guy next to sid and taker. Kane looks taller next to the kid then both sid and taker. STREET clothes . No padded boots. ANyone have the photos im talking about. They were on here a few months back.
Alex said on 12/Jul/08
I agree with Viper, I'd say 6'7 1/2 may be on the money for Kane. He was listed at 6'7 back then so I doubt he'd be under listed if he was really 6'8. Christian is the only wrestler who I ever saw under billed.
tuga said on 12/Jul/08
Great vids kingNick, kane has got to be one of the strongest wrestlers ever.
Rantsrob, tank top or not still huge footware even if a little less (maybe), look for my post below, another recent vid where kane and taker are same height, what do you think?
Kane by 2001 not only was very tall as he was a monster in bulk and also very very strong.
tuga said on 12/Jul/08
Rantsrob says on 11/Jul/08
Click Here Good video for height comparision. Taker appears to have boots on and kane is in his 01 tank top gear. From what i see kane appears to be taller. But tuga will see differently.

Yes Rantsrob, all I saw was:

"The URL contained a malformed video ID."

Rob, its 3 posts total that have not been posted here and 1 at undertaker�s page, is there some problem?

Editor Rob
I only got around to approving older comments from 2 days ago that were left tonight, undertaker is there. There was a few off-topic wrestling posts I deleted as it got away from height too much...
Viper said on 12/Jul/08
I see 2.5 inches between Kane and Big Ben. Kane is 6-7 1/2 at most.
Alex2 said on 12/Jul/08
You know Kane even could have been barefotted backstage for changing purposes etc, also Kane is not in his ring ttire so it's a possibility, I still wouldnt go below 6'8 for Kane though.
Yaspaa said on 12/Jul/08
Anthony,look at the eyes,no way 3.5", the centre of Kane's eyes will be about 4.5".
OOFatman said on 11/Jul/08
Max Starks is 6-7.1 iirc but listed @ 6-8. I'd say if Kane has his wrestling boots on he'd have at least a 1/2" advantage on Ben's footwear.

Drexyl said on 11/Jul/08
Yeah, we can dispute Kane's height all day long, but one thing you can't deny about the man is that he is one of the strongest wrestlers of all time.

Big show obviously wasn't as heavy back then as he was in '05/'06 when he was legitimately well over 500 lbs, but he was definitely over 400. The one where Kane picks him up on his shoulder and actually holds him there is insane. There's another good clip from the 2002 Royal Rumble as well, where Kane picks Show up and then actually carries him in his arms and then dumps him out of the ring.
Alex said on 11/Jul/08
Kane is a very strong guy, even today he's very strong but not like he was in the past. Big Show is really 420-430lbs max in the first 2 videos but in the last one he's more around 450lbs.
KingNick said on 11/Jul/08
Some amazing feats of strength by Kane, IMO Big Show was around 450lbs in these matches:

Ben was measured at 6'5 in the morning so he may be 6'4.5-6'4.75 most of the day. Either way Kane is at least 6'7.5 there I'd say.
Anthony said on 11/Jul/08
Yaspaa, You have to remember he is wearing a beanie, dont look at the very tip of it. Kane seems to stack up better to ben than Max does , who is listed as 6'8
Clay said on 11/Jul/08
I see 3 inches between the two. Kane lis unching to put his arm around Roethlisberger there.
Da Man said on 11/Jul/08
Yea, 2.5" and I *think* that picture is the reason he's listed at 6'7.5" here. Kane looks a bit taller than Max Starks does next to Roethlisberger though, and Starks is listed by the NFL at 6'8".
