It looks to me that Kane has 2.75" on Ben; we cannot see footwear though.

tuga if you watch the video carfully with yankem and taker when they start to have a stare down the camera is far away. you can clearly see the top of his head being higher than takers by an inch.

Here is Kane with Big Ben ( confirmed 6'5 )
Click HereIMO kane has at least a 3 - 3.5" height advantage, possibly even 4". Granted we dont know what footware either guy is wearing. I would assume kane is in his ring gear and ben in sneakers.
IMO kane's height should be upgraded to at least 6'8
KingNick said on 9/Jul/08
So about UT vs. Isaac Yankem ...
Tuga, I don't know, after watching the video again, I'm not sure what to think. If you pause it at 4:38, yes, Yankem's features are higher, but everyone look at the back UT's head, it disappears off screen. Maybe they are the same size?
All I'm saying is I think Tuga has a valid point and now I don't know. UT DOES have a wider stance.
On a side note, isn't amazing that these two would end up having such a great fued just 2 years later and Kane is still around today? This wasn't one of their best matches, but even back then you can see the chemistry they had. And I totally forgot that Yankem was aligned with Lawler. On Monday he was beating the crap out of him! I love the wrestling world!
Something ironic too. Glenn Jacobs at one point or another has aligned himself with Lawler, Ross, and McMahon over the course of his career. As Yankem it was Lalwer, as the Fake Diesle it was Jim Ross, and as Kane it was McMahon (when he joined the corporation briefly)

tuga kane is taller and has no monster foot wear in the yankem taker match. Their foot wear is even. I just think you want taker to be taller. Thats not a problem but thats not the truth. The fact is kane has always been half of an inch taller.
No eric1, its not ok to want someone to be taller, not for me at least.
For me its the same, taker or kane taller, but evidence points to both men being same height, I

Da Man said on 8/Jul/08
Yankem was CLEARY taller than Taker! In the Yankem/Taker over the shoulder pic (from behind Yankem) Taker has a perspective advantage, look at the top ropes behind them. The face-to-face shot is from below which minimizes height differences, yet still is both cases Yanke is obviously the taller of the two. In that same situation, with Taker in Yankem's spot and Sid in Taker's, Taker looked almost a full inch shorter than Sid and we know that isn't the case.
Also, in some of the videos you posted from 2000-2001 (Kane's tank top era) he wasn't wearing his mega footwear of 98-99. Big footwear yes, but not the massive soles that made him 1.5" taller than Taker (see Michaelv10s photobucket album for evidence). Kane was also plainly taller than Taker as they walked down the ramp with Sarah in the video you posted, to the point it's hard to blame it all on footwear.
Double chokeslams are completely useless for height comparisons.

From what I saw people kane is taller then taker I saw them both in street cloth 6'8 to 6'8'2.5 is right. Taker didnt look tall as he would be on tv. i don't know why you people would say kane is shorter then taker, taker looks shorter to me then Kane would, kane is the first tallest man I ever seen, he may have been 6'9 in his sneaker, cause they give u a inch or less maybe, I esimated without, so 6'8 is about right. looking at taker now he looked like he lost 5cm

tuga I saw Kane and the undertaker in street cloth here in 98, Kane was taller of the two, there here in vancouver at some korean bbq, i was at the show, after i took off, my friend went to the same resturant, called me on my cell, and let me know Kane and taker where there. so I hightaled it down there in my crap car, walked in saw taker, kane, mark henry, jeff jarrett, billy gunn, and jesse james kane ate alot, Kane was pretty big in person, taker looked big not as kane, kane's got some huge hands. When I saw kane he was the tallest person I seen, till I saw bigshow in 2001 when they also came here again. Kane gave me that presense that he was big and tall, taker didn't strike me as huge but tall, kane had the upper hand, if I can remeber kane was where hightop, taker where wearing dress shoes I would Kane 6'8 to 6'8'25, he was also here at the gym as well

Thats one video with a very vague comparison. Why havnt you taken notice to the yankem/taker staredown. Thats what i base my belief on not because "Wwe tells me to". Your like everyone else with your opinion. I also paused a 1:19 in the video and can see how you came up with taker being taller. We have many comparisons between taker/kane and one video isnt going to change everyones mind.

Big Show was billed at 7'0 when he first came in 1999 but at the same time he was said to be 7'2 on TV and even I heard 7'1 once too. By the end of 99 they started saying just 7'2 then by late 2002 he was changed to 7'0.
I remember once Kane was said as 7'1.
Rocky said on 6/Jul/08
Kane looked more like 6ft 10 in that backstage video with Jamie noble. I'd still say Kane is 6'8, with 2 inch lifts in his shoes to make him 6ft10, if your 6'7 you couldnt reach 6'10 mark in heels maybe 6'9. I always saw kane and taker in street close, kane always seems taller. He was here in vancouver after the house show they ate at some korean BBQ resturant, my friend went there and they called me on my cell, I was on my way home after match, he told me kane and taker was there, So I hightaled it down there, walked and saw taker and kane eating, Since I was kinda hungry I ordered to, I stayed till the left, and after I finished my food, they both stood up, kane looked like the upper hand on height and weight, by a inch just edging him out, thats my 2 cents, they where with mark henry, jeff jarrett, billy gunn, and jesse james that was back in 98, Mark and kane ate alot, Kane was pretty big in person, taker looked big not as kane, kane's got some huge hands.
KingNick said on 5/Jul/08
Thanks Tuga! Sorry to be so defensive, it's a rough website :>) UT does look taller in the video you posted, so it kind of baffles me a bit. The only thing I can think of is maybe Kane was standing wider, but who knows? Guys you should check out Tuga's link from a few days ago, see what you think?
Alex says on 5/Jul/08
I think they still need to downgrade Kane's billing. I'd say to at least 6'11 but 6'10 would be more better. They have UT at 6'10 and Kane is a bit taller so. Even so Big Show at 7'0 wouldn't make sense to even a 6'10 Kane. They can put Big Show at 7'1 and put Khali at 7'2. That would be more better.
I agree. You know what I always wondered? Why did they downgrade BIG SHOW'S billing? He was billed as 7'2" originally in WWE. This made sense because it was a little more proportionate to everyone else (UT billed 6'10", Kane billed 6'11" to 7') I mean granted he has around 4" on UT and Kane but at least the 7'2" billing sort of supported that. When they downgraded Big Show it kind of screwed everything up. He certainly can PASS for 7'2".

Alex the majority of the population believes kane is 7' even if they bill bigshow the same height and hes clearly taller. Also now that their on different shows and Kane is the tallest person on Raw they are really going to start selling kane as the 7' monster.

KingNick, kane will be taller or same height or even shorter (comparing to khali) depending on his footware, barefoot kane is not taller. The bigger younger brother was an illusion created by wwf/wwe.
What do you think of the video I posted, kane is no way taller than taker, if anyhing could even be a hair shorter.
And I was not judging your post KingNick, I actually like your posts.
Alex2 said on 4/Jul/08
Click Here - At the beginning of this clip, Kane and Undertaker are walking side by side through an arena hallway. They both pass a few doors on the way and Kane looks taller than the doors, there is also a good comparison of the two at the end of the video and Undertaker looks like he edges Kane by a bit...
Ghost said on 4/Jul/08
Alex2,
If Kane is 1 inch taller than Taker today, how can Kane easily look shorter than Taker next to Khali and be almost the same height as Big daddy V?
Click HereKane wore lifts originally probably to appear a little bigger than Taker. Today I think they are both 6'7.5 like listed here.
KingNick said on 3/Jul/08
tuga, to be honest with you, I've struggled for a while with Glenn Jacobs' height. What I'm basing it on is the pics from his Isaac Yankem days (see my post from July 2) where he looked slightly taller than UT. Believe me, I've pointed out many many times not to look at eye level when judging height, I've done it every time there's been a Sycho Sid/UT comparison. It's a real tough one to call. Realistically, I can see Kane being anywhere from 6'7.5" - 6'8.5" barefoot, and UT anywhere from 6'7" - 6'8". Personally, I out UT at 6'8" and Kane at 6'8.5". Remember, Kane's posture is much worse now than it use to be.
And dude, I've also posted this pic quite a few times. This shot is dead on.
Click Here my point with the pic from July 2 (this one)
Click Here was that Kane had HUGE footwear.
Everyone, PLEASE read entire posts and look at photos before you judge them :>)

Looking at Jaime Noble, he didn't look more than 5'7" and maybe 160 lbs. I'm 5'7" and weigh 183 and if i was to compare having a much larger and muscular frame than Noble. I'd love to work with Kane!!!! I think the billed heights would work if they were: remember billed height
Kane 6'10.5" Taker 6'10" Big Show 7'1" Khali 7'3"

I think at peak Kane had 0.5" on Taker at best, but now I actually don't believe Kane has lost any height it seems, but looks like Taker could have, Today I believe Kane to have 1" on Taker though, if not a little more.

I think Yankem/Kane looks to have just edged out Taker a bit in their match but then again looking at tops of heads it's hard to tell - especially in the 2nd still KingNick posted. Camera angle im sure had something to do there. Also, Yankem's footwear seems questionable as does Kane's today - you want to prove to me FOR SURE that Kane is taller than Taker today, then show me a pic where both have equal footwear and Kane is taller.

Where has kane ever claimed to be 6'8.5'' somone please show me proof of this.
I've never heard or seen it, but numerous people on this website claimed to have met him, saying Kane told them he was 6'8.5" , I just happen to agree with the estimate b/c he looked .5" taller than UT to me during the Yankem, UT staredown.
Click Here and
Click HereIt makes sense that he's not more than .5" taller than Undertaker. Why else would they slap the enormous boots on him when he became Kane? They had to make him appear at least and 1.5" taller than 'Taker, who always been billed 6'10" or 6'10.5"
Click Here Kane also had a myspace page up when "See No Evil" came out (it was real, it was endorsed by WWE) where he listed himself as 6'9". On myspace you can't add .5" (I know because I'm 5'10.5" and on my myspace I can only put 5'10" or 5'11"). So I think 6'8.5" is realistic.
Alex2 said on 2/Jul/08
I don't think Nobel is anything below 5'6" hes listed 5'9" and as for the claim, someone on here claimed Kane said to them hes 6'8.5" but how true that is ill never know. I think Kane's legit height is anything from 6'8-6'9", Big Show at times has nomore than 3" on him. I highly doubt Kane is below 6'8" infact I can see a little over 15" there.

Good one Vegas! I think it's safe to upgrade Kane to 6'8". I mean he's listed at it in college, plus he claims 6'8.5" in person. He could claim a lot taller since he's billed between 6'10" and 7'0" and most people would believe him, but he doesn't so 6'8"-6'8.5" is very likely his legit height.

icehole73 said on 1/Jul/08
Taking a look at Kanes feet last night, he seemed to have his super lifts in. You can see the angle of the foot how it is sitting in his boots. i still give him a legit 6'8" without the lifts and maybe 6'9" to 6'10" with. Remember they are a foam of sorts and compress with weight so a two inch lift does not give you two in height. I used to wrestle and have an assortment of lifts for my boots. I'm 5'7" and almost 5'10" in my gear. That is over a one inch sole and 2 1/2" lifts in my boots. Keep rocking KANE!!!!!

Ranstrob and Vegas, I have no idea how tall Spivey is, but if you go on youtube and watch his matches with Mean Mark and/or look at pictures where you can see his footwear, he wears something like a cowboy boot while Mark wore more of a normal wrestling shoe. When I track down a pic I'll post it. That would explain why they're so close in height. And AGAIN, look at the HEAD LEVEL, not the EYE LEVEL.

I would say Yankem looked slightly taller .5 at best
OOFatman said on 23/Jun/08
IMO, Kane did not have 1" on 'Taker as Yankem. Kane had a higher eye level, but the tops of their heads were much closer. It's really hard to say who had the height advantage in all honesty.

What pisses me off is the people who rip off Khali. The guy isnt just massive he is really, really tall as well. Anyone who meets him is in awe of his height, and we've heard people like Steve Carrell and Adam Sandler who have worked with him comment on it. He is close enough to his 7'2'' claim.

Can someone please relink Undertaker/Kane staredowns from 97-99 please And the isaac yankem staredown. I dont understand the isaac yankem staredown. Kane was 28 at the time and Taker was 30 so they were both prime and Kane had wrestling boots on as did taker. IMO most accurate picture deteriming their heights as isaac yankem was a low carder and no reason to put lift on him thats why there are none on him at the time.
Kane 6'7.5'' now 6'8'' prime. Some of the people claiming people like taker for instance to have lost 1.5inches in height is just ridiculous. Maybe at 65 years of age but not early 40s
Alex2 said on 22/Jun/08
Alex, yea, thanks, I just find it hard to see anything under 6'8 for Kane, a 6'7 Kane would result in a 6'6 peak Undertaker - Kane had 1" on a peak UT as his Isaac Yankem gimmick.
Alex said on 22/Jun/08
So Kane claims 6'8 when saying his height then? I've heard a few times about that. Well if he wants he can easily say 6'10 or taller to fans. I'd say Kane is closer to 6'8 than 6'7 though.
Vegas said on 20/Jun/08
interesting enough shaq claims to be a good friend of kane and he says kane is 7ft like himself

kane is not standing straight in this pics.,kane is about 2-3 inchs taller tan taker,.taker is about 6'7-6'8 and kane about 6'10
I advise you to look at some previous links before you make that asumption.i.e staredowns, in ring encounters, and backstage scenes. We honestly have trouble pin pointing whos the taller one out of taker and kane. Many assume kane.But we truly dont know

My guess is Kane's in lifts or something because I see 3 inches tops there.
Alex said on 19/Jun/08
Age doens't matter. Many adults believe into billed heights. No matter your age if you dont research into these heights you're not going to think they're really any shorter. Up until 21 I bought into almost every billed height except for a few then I came upon this site and downgraded all their heights by at least a little. Kane I thought was a legit 6'10 up until 3 years ago.

OOFatman says on 19/Jun/08
Yeah Rantsrob, way to exaggerate just like Alex2. Your estimates are only 1" different than mine, yet MINE are bad huh? Alex2 actually thinks Khali could be his billed height! Come on; when it comes to really tall people, such as these 3 men, we are really splitting hairs when it comes to an inch. After all, height can easily fluctuate an inch during the course of a day
You estimations see to be nothing more then taking the height listed and subtracting .5 or 1inch from it. I respect your height estimations but to comment on somones age on this site is disrespectful. There a plenty of adults out there that still believe kanes a ligit 7 footer
mike said on 19/Jun/08
kane is at least 6,8" cause he only appeared to be 3 inches shorter than big show face to face.
miko said on 19/Jun/08
Khali - 7"0.25
Big Show - 6"11.75
Kane - 6"8.25
Undertaker - 6"7.75

To be honest an inch a very small amount. We have no way of know really if the guys 6'7.5" or maybe even anything up to 6'9".

When I was younger especially in my mid teens I believed all the billed heights. It really wasn't up until like a few years ago when I didn't buy into billed heights. That was the same time I found this site.

Kane is looking tall recently. 6"8 is possible.
Rantsrob said on 18/Jun/08
Whoever whatched ecw last night knows how well kane stacks up to the big show. Absolute max 3'' between then in ring gear. Kane was well above shows eyeline.

OOFatman says on 17/Jun/08
Alex2, what are your estimations on the three then? Please don't say you think Khali is 7-2 or 7-3 LOL! You tend to exaggerate quite a bit when you only disagree on someone's height by an inch or so. This leads me to believe you are still growing up so I'll cut you some slack.
Uhh...If anyone has bad estimations its yourself. This site isn't based on the age of the person its their estimations.
DAMN said on 17/Jun/08
Khali: 7'1''

Da Man said on 7/Jun/08
There's no way to say Khali has a huge distance from his eyeline to the top of his head. Unlike Big Show, most of Khali's head size is below his eyes in the chin and jaw. Khali's eyes are acually pretty high up on his head, which is one of the reasons he gives the impression of being a couple inches taller than Show when is reality he is less than 1" taller than him.
Alex said on 7/Jun/08
Big Show's eyeline from the top of his head is an easy 5 inches, and likely 5.5 inches. Kane's head only comes a little above his eyeline. A 7'0 Big Show would result in a 6'7.5-6'8 Kane.
Clay said on 7/Jun/08
Alex there has been shots of Kane looking like he would come under Khali's eyeline, and due to his gigantic head his eyeline is at least 5 inches.
DAMN said on 6/Jun/08
so big show's 6'11 1/2'', i really doubt that he's still a legit 7-footer, maybe in the past...
Alex said on 6/Jun/08
Assuming the footwear is equal Khali has 5 inches on Kane and has an inch on Big Show, that does put 4 inches between Kane and Big Show.
Rantsrob said on 6/Jun/08
4inches MAX
hs2008 said on 6/Jun/08
I see 4" between Kane & Big Show usually depending of course on footwear.
Anonymous said on 6/Jun/08
there is a big difference in height in this match, looks 5 inches at times when they are next to each other

Clay said on 5/Jun/08
Explain to me how Kane looks 5.5/6 inches under Khali, and Big Show can look as close as .5 of an inch from Khali then, Alex2?
Alex said on 5/Jun/08
I think Big Show had at least 4 inches on Kane but not quite 5 inches though. It looked as low as 2 inches because of Kane's lifts back then.
Here they go again, billing them at the exact same height while Big Show is clearly a couple inches taller.
DAMN said on 5/Jun/08
Size will not hinder either contender at Night of Champions between the 7-foot, 441-pound Big Show and the 7-foot, 326-pound monster, ECW Champion Kane. (wwe.com)
just ridiculous!
Alex said on 3/Jun/08
Big Show has 4-4.5 inches on Kane I'd say. Big Show's eye level to the top of his head gotta be 5-5.5 inches and Kane is only a little above that.
Alex2 said on 3/Jun/08
LOL, Show NEVER had 5" on Kane, 3-5" tops, it even looked as low as 1.5-2" sometimes, but probs cause Kane had lifts, 5" my ass.
Clay said on 3/Jun/08
Disagree Shows has a 4 or 5 inches on both Kane and Undertaker that is ovbvious when you see them all square off with Khali.
Eric said on 2/Jun/08
Between kane and big show theres no more then 3 inches. 3.5 inches tops.
Eric said on 2/Jun/08
I dont know if you guys realize but big show has more boost on his boots then he used to and still looks like he lost a little height. His boots are now as big as kanes.
wwwffan said on 31/May/08
I just popped in a video of kane vs. show on raw. It was when kane had his mask and show looked much smaller, weight size, even compared to today. They stood toe-to-toe, very, very close, and kane was almost the same height as Show. JR said show is 7'2" and kane is 6'10" or 6'11" or so. I watched it a few times to make sure kane wasn't on his tippy-toes. So, I can come to only three conclusions: 1) Kane was wearing lifts (probably the most sensible explanation); 2) Show is not as tall as people think (unlikely); or 3) Kane is taller than people think (maybe). From what I saw on the tape, big show's nose came about maybe a 1/2-inch higher than kane's in the staredown (again, they were "looked like they were gonna kiss" close). Kane was standing upright, while Big Show was standing SLIGHTLY forward but mostly upright, if that makes sense. I emphasize slightly because it'd take big show practically kneeling to make their heights that discernible, at least on the tape. Again, I think Kane was wearing lifts. Hell, he probably wore lifts quite a bit when he battled the big men as masked kane and current kane.

I'm open to the possibility Show may have lost an inch or two in height. He wasn't as tall next to Khali when he returned as he was when Khali debuted.

Batista is definitely 6'3'' in real life, 6'5'' in boots.

There was wacky angle on ecw but clear cant see anymore then 3in
Alex2 said on 29/May/08
Surely all of use here can agree that Kane is 6'8" give or take, c'mon he looks 6'8" or more most of the time, unless of his poor posture he has with his knees.
Alex2 said on 29/May/08
Rantsrob, yea I saw the pic on WWE.com (I haven't been watching lately) but he did look within 2" of BS, humm maybe WWE are starting to give him lifts again? I wouldn't be suprised if he has started wearing lifts again as he barely looks 6'8 half the time and especially if WWE have seen this page lol.
Nick Cantan said on 29/May/08
Looking at ECW on the website Kane looked about 6'10!, though wasn't a great angle, but he normally only comes upto Big Show's eye brows if that!!
Maybe a 2 inch boost in shoes would make him 6'10 from 6'8.
MK said on 29/May/08
Last week on Raw J.R called Batista at 6'4'', 297lbs right after he defeated Y2J, yet they still bill him at 6'5''-6'6''? Strange how Orton can be billed 1'' shorter than Batista when in reality he's 1'' less than 6'7''-6'8'' billed Snitsky.
icehole73 said on 29/May/08
Wouldn't it be an interesting comparison with Kane and Big John Studd. Funny how the guys now at that height are only around 320-340 lbs. Studds weight was inflated to 360+ to make him seem like a more realistic opponent for a 475+ Andre. I met Studd way back when and he was about 6'7" at most, I think Kane would have him in height but Studd in body hair.
Alex said on 29/May/08
I didn't watch it but I just saw pics at WWE.com and Big Show does only look 2-2.5 inches taller than Kane. 2 years ago Big Show had 4 inches or so on Kane. So it makes you wonder if Kane is in lifts or something last night.
Ghost said on 29/May/08
Actually Batista is currently listed as 6'6 on WWE.com.
As Leviathan he was billed as 6'7.
It's ridicolous since he isn't even 6'3 in real life.

Cena is billed at 6'1 and is at least 6'0 minimum. Orton I think looks his billed height of 6'4. Big Show is his billed height or maybe a bit less.
Orton could be billed at 6'6 if they wanted. They bill Batista at 6'5 and hes shorter than Orton.

I sat next to this guy at the Libertarian National Convention. He is truly a large man but he is a good guy and well educated. I'm not a wrestling fan so I didn't recognize him but I respected his political opinions and we did have some serious discussions. Anyway, I wish him the best.

Yea, wrestlers heights are fantastic aren't they. 6ft1
Mark Henry can stare billed 6ft5 batista eye to eye..
Alex said on 26/May/08
Alex2, I have that on tape too. That would mean Big Show 3 1/2 inches taller but looked more 2 inches because of Kane's lifts. But in reality Big Show I think would have at least 4 inches on Kane. Still thats better than billing them both at 7'0.
RAZOR said on 25/May/08
Well, 6'7 1/2" is critical because he looks about 6'9" but he's still a monster of a man, I wouldn't mess with him although I'm 6'6".
Alex2 said on 25/May/08
I was watching King Of the Ring 1999 on DVD the other day and it was Kane vs. The Big Show, now I have no idea if Kane was wearing his lifts or not, but he had a great staredown with Big Show, both were straight etc, and Show had MAX 3" on him, and during the staredown J.R said "Kanes about 6'10 1/2, Big Show 7'2" - That would make more sense for billing the two giants.
Cobra said on 25/May/08
Just because WWF billed him as 6ft9, that doesn`t mean he couldn`t be 6ft9. There is absolutely no sense in WWE`s billed heights. Big Show gets billed 7ft, but as a basketballer they said 7ft1.
Mark Henry is billed 6ft1, but he is really closer to 6ft2.

I've heard JR call Kane 6'10''. During his wrestlemania match with Khali he kept going on how incredible it was to see a 6'10'' 300 pounder manhandled.

Snitsky got the dubious distinction of being labeled 6ft6 in the royal rumble by JR, then he went back to being 6ft8 not a week later..commentators, tsk.
i've mentioned this before but the very first Raw is War game for the n64 had Kane at 6ft9..Whilst it is just a game, the stat came from somewhere :)...
from 6'9" to 7'0", one of the most stretchable wrestlers in history!
KingNick said on 22/May/08
He was flipped between 6'8", 6'9", and 6'10" as Yankem. Primarily they stuck to 6'9". I believe JR did refer to him as 6'9" when he was the fake Diesle and then of course 7' as Kane. But in the later years with the mask, I even heard JR refer to him as 6'10.5" a few times. Ahh!

Clay said on 19/May/08
Keep in mind the tall guy will hunch. I mentioned this on the Hogan page....Hulk looked within 6/7 inches of the Big Shw on his reality show however Show was hunched over like a mother ****er.
Kane may have only looked 3 inches taller than yor 6'4'' friedn but lets call a spade a spade he was probably hunching right the **** over. I think Kane is closer to 6'8'' than 7''.

Anyway Kane has said himself hes 6'8.5" and its not like all of us are THAT accurate when it comes to telling our height, I believe Kane on that one, and 6'8.5" is highly beliveable i think. Rob can we atleast upgrade him to 6'8"?
Bryan said on 17/May/08
Look at him birds eye view not camera view or worms eye view. I would say Kane is a half skull taller. No offence but kane has a bigger skull. Giving him the advantage anyways. Both great wreslters anyways. Hope they both retire from wrestling. Kanes knees probably bent because who knows maybe his knees hurt. Or he has gained a little weight shifting his feet different than the Old Kane.
Kane for president!
Ben the GP said on 16/May/08
If Kane is or was a good 6'9 in his prime he is 6'8.5 now. He used to have a height advantage of 2' of the undertaker now with his 1.5' lifts its .5' no offense takers boots give him nea 1' himself but taker is 6'7.5 mabye 6'8 kanes plus .5' too.
Alex said on 16/May/08
Nick, Kanes boots probably give normal 1-1.5 inches to his height. His old boots I can bet can 2-2.5 inches if not closer to 3 inches. So say he's 6'8 barefoot and with his big boots he's going to be 6'10-6'11 and get away with 7'0 on TV back then.
Da Man said on 16/May/08
Kane's knees look permenantly bent nowadys.
KingNick said on 15/May/08
I agree with Alex, and also Kane doesn't stand as straight as he use to. When he first donned the mask, he use to stand as straight as an arrow to appear much taller than 'Taker. I think he is just not by much, like .5". Nowadays he has a much more relaxed posture no matter who he's facing plus I think his boots don't give him as much give as they use to.
Alex said on 15/May/08
Kane hasn't shrunk at all. He's always been the same height I think. Just the fact he gave a taller impression and had lifts on back then.
Jiga said on 15/May/08
Yeah and if he's billed 7' but goes around saying he's 6'8.5 that's pretty good evidence he's telling truth!!!
Da Man said on 13/May/08
I agree with Dave 100%, and I too am a nuetral between these guys. I've been a big Taker fan since I was in elementary school, and usually only tune into wrestling to watch the Undertaker. Whether Taker is 6'6.5" or 6'8", doesn't matter one bit, I just call it like I see it.

Dave said on 13/May/08
its a well known fact that bald men look shorter, not only this but undertaker stands very straight nowadays as hes probably close to 30lbs lighter than kane also, which allows for a straighter posture.... also, notice how often kane staggers around the place with his neck arched forward and with horrible posture, and taker is very quick to stand up straight holding his back and head when 'hurt'...... its little things like this that can make the difference when giving an 'impression' of height. All i can say is that the last time i saw kane standing near khali (some weeks ago) he didnt size up at all very badly, it was obvious there was a considerable advantage on khali's part, but still, he was no dwarf..... also, i am a neutral, i think kane and undertaker are both great, but having met them both in real life (in trainers) i have to say that kane DOES appear taller in real life, even just only a little, but he does appear slightly higher to look up to. And not only this, but there have been many many occaisions to suggest than if any of the two are taller its kane, whether that be 0.5 of a cm or 4 inches! (joke)...... its obvious there is very very little between these two big men, and on the basis of me meeting them, AND the lack of undertaker pics or footage to suggest hes taller than kane (when there IS plenty of footage suggesting kane is the taller)..... im going with kane having anything from 0.5 - 1 inch advantage.
mike said on 11/May/08
kane definitely has a 8 inch advantage on eric in the above pic,so 6,8" is a possibility.

Mamun Did Kane look 6'9.5'' or 6'9'' im person?

We don't need to compare Taker and Kane to Khali when we have LOADS of comparisons between Kane and Taker directly. This is nothing new.

It comes down to Taker fans want Taker to be taller Kane fans want Kane to be taller. We'll never know.

The pics of Taker and Kane next to Khali clearly show that Kane is no taller than Taker atleast today. If anything, next to Khali Kane looks shorter. It's odd.
Alex2 said on 9/May/08
6'7-6'7.5" for taker but NO WAY below 6'8" peak, it is even possible he was pushing the 6'9" mark peak but no more than that, you can just see how tall he really was with Gonzalez.
Mamun said on 9/May/08

Kane looks to be 6'8. The Undertaker looks to be 6'7.
chris said on 8/May/08

mike said on 8/May/08

Rantsrob said on 8/May/08
Lol, at the 6'7.5'' Kane and the 6'9'' Taker. you need to realize takers boots arnt flat people. They in fact boost him 1'' while kanes give him a boost of 1.5

"I was recently watching SmackDown and Undertaker and Kane faced each other. Kane was wearing lifts, and Undertaker was wearing flat boots, and Taker has a good half an inch on him. Even Michael Cole mentioned that Kane weighs a little more, and that Undertaker was a little bit taller. I'd give Kane 6'7.5", with Undertaker being 6'8.5"-6'9"."
Never happened. Kane is CONSISENTLY about 1" taller than Taker in gear, like any two people seperated by only an inch camera angles and posture can easily make one appear taller the other or make them appear the same height. But as we've seen time, and time, and time again IN GEAR Kane is just about 1 full inch taller than Taker. You can argue lifts all you want, but I can see almost no way Kane is shorter than Taker barefoot. I can accept some might see them as the same height barefoot, but I think Kane is about .5" taller barefoot.

Rantsrob I NEVER said the Undertaker wears lifts. You need to learn how to read. Mmhm you must of read wrong you said taker does not wear lifts but in reality he has 1inch lifts. Kane has a .5 boost over taker from his boots. So the lift argument is a very WEAK argument at that. Thanks for the insult also, rather childish

without a doubt if you look at the soles of takers boots they do appear thicker.imo they give him an inch an a half boost tops.i,d be willing to bet that barefoot taker is no more than 6,6".

From what I have seen, The Undertaker dose Not wear Lifts. Kane on the other hand DOES wear Lifts. The WWE claim's the Rock is 6'5. He is 6'3. Taker is either 6'6 or 6'7 Barefoot. Big Show is either 6'10 or 6'11. Kane is 6.7 Barefoot. You sir are far late on this discussion and your opinions are stupid. Undertaker doest not wear lifts, Just 1in wrestling boots. while kane only gets a 1.5 boost from his. So please dont post until you read up on the disscusions
chris said on 6/May/08
all shoes have lifts one way or the other. others have bigger ones but once a person wears shoes they are measured taller no matter what.

If you are talking about the regis and cathi lee segment Brother_h take into account both regis and kelly are 5'5'' 5'4''.

"kane a bit heavy while undertaker slightly taller"...nice one michael cole. xD
but anywhooo. it seems we need undertakers height in order to really know kanes real height. they are both big dudes being over 2meters they already have a head over alot of people.
visit youtube, search undertaker tv show paul bearer and undertaker is wearing his flat shoes no lifts visible and the top is very thin and with the other people he has a chin and a neck over them.

One thing is for sure, Glen Jacobs is an amazing physical presence. I'm going for 6' 7.5" for him, as I'm quite sure Mark Callaway (The Undertaker) is just over 6' 7" and Glen Jacobs (Kane) seems to be a tiny bit taller.
Alex2 said on 30/Apr/08
I think that celebs like Kane may well have visited this site by simply Googling their name etc. Would be good if they came on lol, oh and thankyou Rantsrob, it is possible i guess...
Rantsrob said on 30/Apr/08
How would you know if it were night or day?
Alex said on 30/Apr/08
That was at night where Ben met Kane so Ben could have been as low as 6'4 1/2 since he was measured at 6'5 in the morning (not sure how long after out of bed it was though). Kane did look between 2 and 3 inches taller than Ben. Couldn't see footwear but assuming both had 1-1.5 inch footwear on. Ben 6'6ish in footwear and Kane around 6'8.5 in footwear at least. Still puts Kane a little over 6'7 barefoot likely. Could be 6'8 barefoot still but I doubt over that.
chris said on 30/Apr/08
we will never know unless we can get in contact with either of them. now that would be a very low possibility.
all we can do is speculate (shoes no shoes etc) with that pic of kane and ben
Alex2 said on 29/Apr/08
Since that was a backstage photo, it is even possible Kane was barefooted for changing purposes etc. Just a thought.
Mark said on 28/Apr/08
Big ben was measured barefoot a shade under 6'5'' so with 1inch+ soles on his shoes would be roughly 6'6''. Kane stood 2.5inches possibly 3 taller then ben in the picture and it does not look like kane is in his in ring gear. so 6'8 1/2 in shoes 6'7'' 1/2 barefoot kane is my final decesion. But there is no way of knowing footwear in the picture
Alex said on 28/Apr/08
With 6'4 1/2-6'5 Ben Roethlisberger, Kane looks no more than 6'7 1/2.
Rantsrob said on 27/Apr/08
I can see kane as tall as 6'9'' peak back in his late 20s early 30s. I mean he was 6'7'' at the age of 16. Surely could of grow another inch, inch and haft. But today i cant see kane being anymore than a smidge over 6'8'' or 6'7 1/2. I mean 16 years in the wrestling buisness is harsh work. In 1992 when he debut he could of stood a proud 6'9'' 270 but now i see him 6'8'' or 6'7 1/2 310. He's surely lost some height. Height loss can start as low as 35 or 40 and with a man over 6'6'' You have a much greater chance of loosing height.

Alex said on 27/Apr/08
It depends. Some doorways can be as low as 6'6.
I still see Kane at 6'7 minimum and 6'8 max. I think the majority of the posters here agree with me on that.
Honestly a few years ago I thought Kane was a legit 6'10 and years before that I thought a legit 6'11.
Alex said on 27/Apr/08
I think Orton is the only one who is as tall as his billed height. Cena I think is very close to his. Christian was taller than his 5'10 billed height though. Hes the only one.
Hugh said on 27/Apr/08
A lot of peaople claim that wrestlers are taller than their billed heights.

Mr. 6'5'' says on 24/Apr/08
the toe area of the lift doesnt really matter how big it is, its all in the heel, thats why its so umconfortable to wrestle in them da man. and that on wwe.com was not the normal pair of boots kne wears.
That's his usual footwear, and the toe area matters a great deal when trying to boost height with footwear. I suggest you click on the heel height truth link to see why, it's due to the pivot point of the foot (and that isn't at the heel).
Rantsrob said on 25/Apr/08
Click Here check out the photo comarion of Kane and the supossed boyguard whos 6'9'' on this site
Rantsrob said on 25/Apr/08
Click Here Only video thats shows kane bearfoot he looks enourmous nothing to base his height on thou. Doctor looks roughly 5.11
Rantsrob said on 25/Apr/08
If you take 1.5 inches from 6'9'' you get 6'7'' 1/2, Kane is almost 6'8'' 1/2 in sneakers. We seen Kane with ATLEAST an inch on a standard 6'8'' doorway in street clothes. To take Kane for under 6'7'' is ridiculous. Even 6'7'' sounds stupid.

Rantsrob said on 24/Apr/08
Click Here That picture goes over well for kane with Tom Welling from what people are saying is 6.2-6.4
Rantsrob said on 24/Apr/08
Can we take the billed 6.7 in the past thing off when we have proof of the 6.8/6.9 listing
Rantsrob said on 24/Apr/08
Kane is 6.7 1/2 at the least. And can we please take into a account the evidence i found where J.R says Isaac Yankem aka Kane is 6.8 or 6.9
Da Man said on 24/Apr/08
Nice job on the tilt elimination, JT.
Da Man said on 24/Apr/08
A 2" thick heel would only boost height (over barefoot) by about 1.5".
Kane isn't getting massive amounts of lift from his boots, the toe area is way too thin for that. I seriously, seriously doubt Kane's wrestling boots offer any more height boost than a pair of
Nike Shox (likely less).
