2" heels (which he virtually never wears) doesn't boost height by 2".
what do you mean?
hs2008 said on 24/Apr/08
Nice find Da Man! Kane looks 6'8" with Edge & Foley IMO from what I can see, since it won't enlarge when I click on it :D
If Edge stood up straight he might hit Kane's eyeline, but probs just below. I don't see Edge being more than 4" shorter, in that pic anyway. Foley looks more like 6" shorter from what I can see.
Da Man said on 24/Apr/08
Edge is below Kane's eyeline, even in regular (dress) footwear. As is Foley.

Rantsrob said on 23/Apr/08
That Kane khali comparison was weird. Kane can look with in 3inches of the big show but can look 4-5 shorter then khali.When we can barely seen .5 between big show khali. Maybe they made kane wear smaller boots and khali had lifts to get over his enourmous stature. I personally cant see a 6'6'' kane. But im no expert.
KingNick said on 23/Apr/08
Mark, great find there. Like you said, RVD was about 6' Kane looks to be at least 8" taller. And Kane didn't wear huge soled boots during that period.
One thing I noticed too, Kane had amazing posture before he lost the mask. Anyone notice since he ditched the mask he doesn't really try standing up straight? Look at the old staredowns with him and UT when he had the mask, he stands completely straight and tilts his head back like Sid does.
Something else I've been thinking about too. A normal wrestling boot has to automatically add some height just like a shoe does. So if the WWE wants a wrestler, like Kane, to be extra tall, there has to be EXTRA boost in the boots.
Now no one knows for sure, but lets say a normal wrestling boot not intending to be a lift gives an extra .75" in height.
So for example (and for argument's sake). Say Undertaker is 6'8" barefoot. That means in a normal wrestling shoe he would be 6'8.75". Now say (again for argument's sake) that Kane is 6'8.5" barefoot. That means a Normal wrestling boot would make him 6'9.25"
So if they want to bill him as near 7' they have to put EXTRA boosts in his shoes to make up the difference for a normal wrestling boot.
Kane in his debut always looked about 2" taller than Undertaker. So his boots had to make him a minimum of 6'10.75" to make him 2 full inches taller than UT, giving him a 2.75" boost in his boots.
Nowadays, Kane is only looking 1" if that taller than UT. So that means, if they're 6'8" and 6'8.5" respectively, UT has to be 6'8.75" in boots and Kane 6'9.75" in boots, which mean Kane should be wearing a sole that gives him a 1.5" boost in his boots.
Wow. I can't believe I just wrote all that. Does that make sense to you guys or does it just sound nuts?
What I'm saying is if the WWE is trying to make a wrestler extra taller they have to take into account how much boost is in a NORMAL boot to enhance new boots for them.
Mr. 6'5'' said on 23/Apr/08
I have a question for someone on here who knows what they are talking about( sorry olga haha) but i was watching the staredown between kane and khali. and im trying to figure something out. the tallest he could of been in gear compared to khali was 6'8'' maybe 6'8.5'' and we all know he wears about 2 inch heels, no joke. so barefoot, would that make him around 6'6'' or what? i dont know

Kane used to put things in his boots to make him taller. It was hard to run with his heals constantly at an angle. 6'8" is a fair height for him.

Kane probably gets up out of bed at the upper end of 6.7 mayb 6.8 throwing on a pair of shoes. Now probably standing 6 ft 8.5 or 6.9. goes to work meeting you people who haft to look up at him. And unless your amazing a judging heights your not gunna mistake this guys got anything less that 6.10. After working all day probably goes to bed a solid 6.7 1/2

Mark he does not have great posture at all . If you look in the pic his posture isnt the best, but when he stood up straight when he first got up i was like whoa. Hes a big guy. I met him 3 times Once in 1999 but he wasnt standing up. 2 times in 2006. The first time i was with my friend fred who is 6ft6. Boy oh boy i wish i took a pic of them cause kane had an easy 2 to 3 inches on him .

Alex said on 17/Apr/08
Back then I did believe Benoit was a legit 5'11 but also thats when I thought Angle was 6'0, Rock 6'5, HHH 6'4, Jericho 5'11-6'0. Benoit is probably 5'10-5'11 in gear and more 5'9 barefoot or could be a bit less than that.
Finlay is more 5'10 legit?

Ray said on 16/Apr/08
On ECW last night and whenever Taker and Kane appear together, there usually looks like .5-1" height advantage to Kane in most angles but let's not forget that Kane sports bigger boots than Taker. Also, in some spots/angles they look the same and Taker actually looks a psot taller here and there.

They tried to bill Benoit at 6'1? I dont ever remember seeing that. He was almost always billed at 5'10, sometimes 5'11. I think he was being billed at 6'0 when he was World champion in 2004. Benoit is more 5'9 if that. Could be a little less.

KingNick i think the difference is bigger there than the isaac yanken taker staredown. looks to be about 2"+ there but yankem looked about 1" taller. Due to kanes lifts. I still think 6'8 - 6'9. Glen Jacobs says himself 6'8.5, he's said it on numerous occasions. Also remember he's got bad knees/posture. BTW i think it's time he gets upgraded to at least 6'8. Since this page started I would say we've shown ample evidence of Glen Jacobs is 6'8+

Actually Kane could have looked as much as 2 inches taller than UT at times in his lifts. I think barefoot there is an inch difference or pushing it. UT I don't put more than 6'7 today and Kane is at least a solid 6'7 (6'7.5).

Ray said on 5/Apr/08
Yes, I believe that to be true also chris - Kane seems to always have around 1" on Taker but Kane does have bigger boots and may be getting around .5" in height advantage in his boots over Taker. I really think these guys are darn close to the same height and Kane wears the bigger boots since he is billed and supposed to be taller than Taker. Kane is the bigger baby brother of Undertaker; I'd say both men are around 6'8" barefoot.
Alex said on 5/Apr/08
Alex 2, its a bit tough to say. But based on most pictures I can't say Kane is over 6'8. Possible hes a weak 6'8. Like maybe just over 6'8 out of bed and most of the day at least 6'7 1/2. The picture with Ben makes him under 6'8 though and Ben is about 6'5 legit.

6'7-6'7 1/2 is a safe bet on his height. 6'8 at the most though. I don't buy Jason's 6'5 estimate of him though. Thats too low now.
Anonymous said on 1/Apr/08
Click Here here is the video. We've settled that kane is no taller then 6.10 no shorter then 6.7. But to roll out anything in between is ridiclous. Kane is ducking his head throughout the hallway and easily was as tall as the door frame. No 6.7 fat human would have to watch to hit his head off the ceiling. Just look at all the other average size men deside him. From my research, a Door frame in the U.S stands 6.8 or above i will never buy kane for even a 0.1inch shorter then 6.9 flat in his prime. Now sure you can make the argument hes 6 ft 7.5 today but to me he's 6.8.Now on hieght loss. Being a Physical therapist. I Know you peak in strength at mid 30s and height loss can start at late 30s in average size men in men above the height of 6.5 have a great chance of losing there height earlier. Being a kane fan for 11 years now i notice his terrible in ring posture. it seems when facing shorter men he almost never tries to sell his height because i think there might be a knee problem. Also he was build 6.7 at age 16 mouths before his 17th birthday average man stops growing in his late teens but a man of kanes stature can grow into his early 20s. so kane could have easily grown 2-3 more inches.Just my 2 cents

Anonymous said on 27/Mar/08
Its quite apparent that most wrestlers are billed atleast an inch or in some case many more inches above their true barefoot height. From understanding the rough area in which someone's true height is, you can sort of figure out these height brackets.
1" above BAREFOOT= John Cena(6'1"), Randy Orton(6'4"), Big Show(7')etc..
2"= Chavo Guerrero(5'9"), Umaga(6'4"), Stone Cold(6'2")etc..
3"= Undertaker(6'10.5"), TripleH(6'4"), Khali(7'3"), Edge(6'5"), Shawn Michaels(6'1")etc..
4"= Batista(6'6"), Rey Mysterio (5'6")etc..
5"= Kane(7')
This is just my opinion, but it could be the case. I think their barefoot heights may be in the region of the their billed height takeaway the number of inches shown.

in that video he is clearly standing on a box. like i say time after time dont trust backstage segments. in the andre the giant doco, it said that in order to make andre look more of a giant they had him stand on a box.
chris said on 26/Mar/08
Marley 6'9 1/2" is abit out of reach for kane. the pic with kane and Ben Roethlisfogar (whatever his name is LOL) shows about 3" which would make kane 6'8 tops if Ben is under 6'5
chris said on 26/Mar/08
there is 3 inchs on the dot there between those two
Mark said on 26/Mar/08
Im done posting. i've done all i can to prove kanes height but its not gunna change whats the use arguing
Marley said on 26/Mar/08
Rob, are you joking. That guy, Kane looked almost 7 inches taller than The Rock and Hulk Hogan. I'll show you a video as an evidence. Kane is 6'9 1/2" but not 6'7 1/2"!!!

I personally think anything under 6'7.5" is rediculous for Kane and UT. Imho Kane is still an easy 6'8". Maybe slightly taller.

i wish someone found a pic of kane in street clothes standing next to a 6'6-6'9 person... would be an accurate estimation..
no matter what vote you do or whatever,, i doubt they will change his height to 6'8
D-lurker said on 24/Mar/08
Yea a vote for 6ft8 here. hehe, yea i'm just chiming in here

PLEASE UPGRADE KANE TO 6'8" OR 6'8.5"

Dave said on 21/Mar/08
well eric, takers posture is horrible in your vid, but the vid of kane in the hotel really goes well for him, he looks simply massive in that video, and thats a BIIIIG doorframe, just look at the average sized guy beside it, hes tiny beside the door! and kane is easily taller than the frame, id say kane looks a 6,9 flat in that vid, and if i didnt know better looking at him for a first time viewer, id say hes close to 6'10... and not only this, aside from a few pics, we are judging kanes height with other wrestlers (whom we dont know the heights of to start with! so they cant be used for comparison) And seeing kane with normal people is an eye opener, hes a LEGIT 6'8 plus massive frame man, and at that height and build he could pass for 6'10 to any normal guy easy.

From all the evidence gatherd on thsi site including Kane on that video, i HIGHLY doubt Kane is anything under 6'8 and i think 6'7 is rediculous for him.

he is 6'7 i always thought he was not 7 foot as he was smaller than big show

If you stop at 1 point in between 20-23 seconds Kane is 2'' taller then the door and seems to haft to duck or tilt his head lower to get under some places in the hotel

"kane does look very tall there, i assume thats a hotel of some kind and usually american hotel room doors are much taller than the standard 6'6 door here in this country (i have been in enough US hotel/motel rooms in my time)"
A standard interior door casing in the US is 6'9" from the floor to the interior of casing trim, 6'8.5" at it's lowest point (that being the .5" trim piece that is mounted around the inner casing that the door seals against). That varies a bit manufacturer to manufacturer, but is pretty much the norm. Industrial type doors seem to run a bit bigger than that, but the hotel in the video seemed to have standard size doors - over 6'8" at it's lowest point, 6'9" at the casing.

Alex said on 19/Mar/08
Eric, yea thats what I was saying. Put UT at 6'7 or even just below if Kane is at 6'7.5 on here.
Edge at 6'7 is probably one of the more funnier estimates on a height on here yet. I can see some people thinking UT is 6'10.5 but Edge 6'7? LOL

kane looks 6ft 8 easily maybe 6ft 9 at tallest, undertaker was actually .25 taller than albert who's 6ft 6.5 - 6ft 7 so taker is definately only 6ft 7 and has about .75 on taker so kane is around 6 ft 7.75 in
Red said on 18/Mar/08
I think UT was 6

If you keep kane at 6ft7.5 than taker should at least be moved to 6ft7 even.

Eric, I'd actually downgrade UT on here to 6'7 and you could still keep Kane at 6'7.5 or upgrade him to 6'8 but no more than that.

Eric said on 17/Mar/08
Hey guys i have a good question. Everyone can agree mostly that kane over the years has always been taller than the undertaker. Every height comparison over the years has proven this. So lets say that kane only has .5 to 1 inch on undertaker. Well if undertaker is listed on this website as 6ft7.5 also and we all know kane is either .5 to 1 inch taller than why is kane listed at 6ft7.5. I asked him his height he told me a little over 6ft8.
jake said on 16/Mar/08

KingNick said on 16/Mar/08
Is it just me or does Kane look taller in street clothes than he does in the ring? I mean he completely dwarfs Mamun

Kane is clearly leaning in the eric pic if he stood straight up he'd easy have a head over him
KingNick said on 15/Mar/08
I see at least 6" in the Kane/Orton backstage video. And I think that's only cuz Kane is in his gear. My opinion - Kane 6'8" to 6'8.5" barefoot, 6'10" in his boots.
Mark said on 15/Mar/08
i believe Kane is 6.8 it is the most logical height hes taller then taker throughout the years i think 6.8 is the most reasonible answer
Ben the GP said on 14/Mar/08
Okay just sayin this Kane looked 6'9.5 next to Ortin if not taller , Ortin is 6'3.5 - 6'4 legit in gear probaly 6'5 too. Big Show and Kane are closer in height in that video then in the picture also I am a fighter to make these guys seem tall but Kane isn't 6'8.5 anymore more like 6'7,.5 too
Alex said on 14/Mar/08
In thie video it looks 4 inches between Orton and Kane.
Click Here
Alex said on 14/Mar/08
You could push him up to 6'8 here likely but no more than that. The 6'7.5 listing here may be dead on I think because Kane looks over 6'7 flat. But he looked 6'8 with Orton though.
Kane in lifts back then could have looked 6'10-6'11.
Cobra said on 14/Mar/08
Kane is billed as 7ft, and he said about his height he is 6ft8 or 6ft9.
Kane is really tall, but he doesn`t say his billed height. So its kinda unlogic why he should round up his real height by an inch, which is still away from his billed height.
Bottom line is I think that Kanes height varies between 6ft9 and 6ft8 during the day.
Eric said on 14/Mar/08
Mk i cant see why your gonna sit here and say you cant see him being 6ft8. You are talking about less then an inch here. .5 SO that means if kane is 6ft7 undertakers 6ft6 orton is 6ft3 batista 6ft2 HHH 6ft1 cena and austin under 6ft. Come on . Even in the year 2002 when he wore regular sized boots he still looked 6ft8. IN regular black dress shoes he seems that size. In dress shoes hes prob 6ft8.5 and barefoot 6ft8 even.
Eric said on 14/Mar/08
In the huge boots he used to wear it boosted him to about 6ft10 in 1999 when he fought the big show. If you look at the height comparison from then till the ones now its obvious he had on bigger lifts. MK i met the guy plenty of times in person. One time with my friend fred whos 6ft6. He had 2 inches easy on him . Now theres about 4 inches difference between him and big show. The difference between kane and big show in height is the same difference as kane and orton. 4 inches. Orton 6ft4 kane 6ft8. Kane 6ft8 show 7ft.
The1stHunter said on 14/Mar/08
I would give him no less than 6'8 1/4!

Click Here i found your match chris its in the begining kane does have considerible height over randy about the same in the backstage segment. dont understand why its so hard to believe kane is a ligit 6.8
Nice find, and Kane does have the same height advantage over Orton there at ringside as he does in the recent backstage segment.
MK said on 13/Mar/08
Eric, 6'8'' with the 1998 munsters lifts is the most hes ever looked to me, so 6'7''-6'7.5'' is indeed the better estimate. Vegas, good point about the backstage segments but i think JBL was slouching next to Orton, realisticly theres a 1'' differance favoring JBL, with Orton the better posture.
hs2008 said on 13/Mar/08
I agree! But there's probably people that don't, even though he looks a clear 6'8" to me.
Chris said on 13/Mar/08
Agreed. Well his clearly got over 3' inchs on Randy there. If it was 3' then he would obviously be 6'7 because orton is 6'4. Kane looks to have atleast 4' on orton,, so nothing short of 6'8
Eric said on 13/Mar/08
I agree. I think we have enough evidence to boost him up to 6ft8- 6ft8.5
Do we all agree???
Alex said on 13/Mar/08
Kane was a good few inches taller than Orton on Raw this week. He looked 6'8.
Chris said on 13/Mar/08
Guys i just found something interesting. Pause the segment on RAW (kane and randy) at 37 seconds,,, the difference between them there looks the usual height difference between kane and randy where randy does look very tall... Its only when randy goes right upto kane where you can really see the difference of height (where kane looks taller). SO maybe kanes not wearing super lifts or standing on his toes or watever.. ???????
Mamun said on 13/Mar/08
My friends Nick, Chris and vegas and all the other good people here I have
favour to ask you ! Now you have a good picture of me and virgil . My request
is this which is also my dream photo opp :- see if you can by putting all your
respectable computer skills put me and Andre the Giant , 7'8" alam Chana, Sid,
Tiny Ron, kevin Nash & kane into the same picture . Chriss you have done some
thing impresive like this before now here is another one with equal number of
very tall giants . You can use virgil as the refernce and I have a very good
picture of him and Andre standing . If you do make this pictur please make
sure that Andre is standing next to 7'8" Alam Channa . But I am also begging
you guys to do justice to Alam Channa and Andre because some memembers here
loves to see a 6'5" Andre .I shall be very gratful if you tried !

Kane looks near 7 feet there!!! and randy is a legit 6'4, no doubt.... my thoughts are randy is barefoot and kane has huge wrestling boots, to sell his height.... hes certainly not on his toes tho, hehe.... but still, kane looks an EASY 6'10 there, but as we said, it MUST be all trickery.... because kane is never that much taller than orton.... and the vid with orton and JBL, well as we all know JBL's posture is ALWAYS lazy... and he has really small wrestlng boots, and orton is prob wearing lifts..... either way, JBL is still taller barefoot in my opinion, but just like the kane one, its circumstantial.... also, this is backstage in the locker changing rooms, so JBL could technically be barefoot. Nash was also known for doing the odd wcw backstage locker promo barefoot.

Randy Orton is taller than Edge and Batista. He has about .5 on edge. Maybe a little more than that on batista.
KingNick said on 12/Mar/08
Kane probably was 6'10" in that vid with Orton but he was in WRESTLING GEAR. That tells me, whatever his actual height is, his gear makes him around 6'10".
Da Man said on 12/Mar/08
Kane has always looked around 4" taller than Orton when angles and perspectives aren't in play. Orton and Edge are probably within .5", Kane's a good 4.5" taller than Edge, so I'm not sure why anyone would think Orton be significantly different?
MK said on 12/Mar/08
Ortons 6'3.5'' at best, Kane has 4'' on Orton at best. Camera angles and positioning can vary in-ring, backstage segments can give a more accurate picture. The Mcmahon/Andre interview from way back was the only confirmed situation where a wrestler was standing on a box.
Chris said on 12/Mar/08
Or maybe he is that big next to Orton? I just saw an old clip from 3-4 years ago, remember orton, batista, kane, VS HBK, goldberg, and RVD???? There is a little part there in the beginning where Randy walks behind Kane. You can see, the height difference is the same as last nights RAW, or the same consistency to say the least.
Chris said on 12/Mar/08
What do you wreckon guys? ide say Kanes never ever looked that big next to Randy Orton. He looks around 6'10 there.
brother_h said on 12/Mar/08
also, 3 years ago, kane had a whole lip over orton. prolly standing on a box. they do that during backstage segments.
but if kane had stood up straight. he would have had a nose over orton. still 5 or 6 inches but he is wearing those boots.
Big Show said on 11/Mar/08
Click HereHere's a backstage segment from last night's Raw. I think Kane is wearing his huge lifts there as he looks like 5 inches taller than Orton, who's barely up to his eye level.
Yaspaa said on 11/Mar/08
I do think this guy is a little over 6'7.5 judging from this picture. He has a head plus 2" over the mamster. Large head 10" - 10.5" + the extra 2" = 12" - 12.5". 6'8 - 6'8.5.
That picture with Kane facing the Big Show has Kane tilting his head,losing an inch.
Eric said on 11/Mar/08
I dont know if anyone watched raw last night the 3 hour special but there was a very good and clear height comparison between randy orton and kane in the locker room scene. They were standing head to head and kane had a whole forehead in height taller than orton. Randy Orton is an easy 6ft4 to 6ft4 and change. Orton is clearly taller than batista as well. Kane had an easy 4 inches on Randy orton. Someone needs to post the tube video or that pic.

Da man you may be right as i am not to good with judging height differences but im sure somone with some more experience in finding some pictures can get some mvp kane pics. as for mvp being 6.3 who knows but he does appear to have some junk in his shoes to boost him. but in the video if you pause at around 1:23 you can see both man full height. tip of mvps head just scratching kane nose
Da Man said on 4/Mar/08
Mark, 4-5 inches over MVP? At the only point in that video without a wierd angle (~00:38, both are in the same plane in the ring though neither are standing straight) it looks like over 7" between them. MVP looks to only come up to Kane's mouth and that seems to be the case several other times throughout the video, though there is so much movement it's hard to say for sure. Any other pics of MVP and Kane?
KingNick said on 4/Mar/08
To be honest, I think MVP has some junk in his shoes too
Click Here look at photo 23. Maybe those MAKE him 6'3"

MK said on 4/Mar/08
Mark, is that the same MVP whos a good half inch shorter than 6ft Matt Hardy/seemed just as tall as 5'11'' Rick Flair. MVP's not near 6'3'', Kane looked around 7-8'' taller. Kanes been billed 7'0'', called 6'10''(By commentators not everyone Chris), pics and evidence vary, maybe he was 6'8'' now 6'7.5''

I still believe a 6.8 kane and a 6.8 taker. obviously taker fans want him to be taller then kane and kane fans want him to be taller then taker but it is possible for 2 people to have an exact height there gigantic people and Kane has worn lifts and taker has worn lifts to probably just as big as kanes . but it all boils down to if your a undertaker fan or a kane fan 6.8 kane 6.8 undertaker peace out kaneanights : )

Kane has been called 6'10'' many times in the last few years which is all the proof needed to know hes not. 6'8'' even at his peak is a strech.

Kane has been consistently taller than Undertaker throughout the years, from Isaac Yankem, from his debut as Kane, until now. I can understand claims of him losing a little height, but definitely not more than an inch, more like 0.5", as there seems to be a heightened understanding of how people shrink over the years on this site, especially with wrestlers. Kane is probably 0.5"-0.75" taller than Undertaker and his footwear advantage will boost him to over 1" in some photos.

Nike Shox or Timberlands would, and Taker is hardly wearing flats himself.

I really don't think Kane is taller than 6'7 nowadays. He only has 0.5 of an inch on BDV, as evident from previous pictures; and he has often worn large boots with taller guys. For instance, he is only slightly taller than Taker while he wears huge lifts, which i believe means that Taker is the taller of the two, if by maybe 0.5 inch. If this guy was over 6'8 or even 6'7.5 barefoot then he wouldn't need to do this, and he also wouldn't be towered by almost 6 inches by the 7ft-7'1 Khali.

Electric Shock, i think your 100% right. I can understand that. You couldnt say it any more clear. Same goes for Undertaker as well. Thats makes a lot of sense for the simple fact that they are always traveling, getting injuries and working there butts off.
Alex said on 1/Mar/08
The tallest person here with proof was a guy named Petter and he was 6'7.5 and had pics to prove it and he def. looked it. He still posts here and there.

a big problem with heights that this board tends to neglect is that no one has one height; you have a height range.
I tried this with my father once, measuring him.
In the morning, my father was 6'3.5", after a hard days work (which he spends on his feet) he was under 6'3" (about 6'2.75").
similarly, I think Kane has a height varioation of exactly 5 inches taller than that of my dad. If you catch Kane at a bad moment, he could be as short as 6'7.75", but if you catch him at a good moment, he could be breaking 6'8.5" heading upto 6'9".
Height variation is especially common with people who are heavy (in the case of 320 lb Kane, he weighs as much as two men.) It's quite possible Kane's been caught in pictures after a long day of travel, and with his knees bent, and looks to be only between 6'7"-6'8". There are other pictures which seem to put him at 6'8" or 6'9". So I'd put his average at about 6'8 1/8"- 6'8 1/4", with him pulling off both sides of the coin at various times.

you're right about that, in my family though i'm technically the second tallest at 7'0" (213cm) but the heaviest at 320, so I'm well built, my younger brother is the tallest, 7'0.5" (215cm) 300 lbs. kinda skinny

A lot of guys come on here and claim to be 7ft, show us a picture. If you are, get some pics with some wrestlers! You'll make a lot of friends here fast.
Alex said on 29/Feb/08
George, youre def the tallest person on this board now if you're really that tall.
Alex2 said on 29/Feb/08

Kane hasn't worn the 2" heels since 2001.
MK said on 29/Feb/08
Great pics once again JT, huge lifts on Kane there which suggests that they are both dead even perhaps, wwf obviously wanted Kane the taller. In reality i'd say Kane is 0.5 taller though.
JT said on 28/Feb/08
Click Here For Kane, those look like really flat boots (around 1.25" heels) compared to his usual Munsters, which approach 2 inches. If those were his boots in the video with Taker, hmmm
George said on 28/Feb/08
Kane, 7 feet? I care to scoff, the Big Red Machine is only at most 6'8.5" , 6'9" peak, I am 7 feet legit, well 6'11.75" anyway, my younger brother Jeremy is 7'0.5" and my kid sister Kendra is 6'3". So please, Kane, don't try to pass as seven feet tall when me and my bro and the Big Show really are seven feet.
Mr. X said on 28/Feb/08
Kane is NOT 7 feet but however is 6'8" tall.
Da Man said on 28/Feb/08
There's absolutely no way Taker would have edged Kane in the Grishem video. No posible way. When Taker gets nose to nose with Kane in the video you can see he actually straightens out and is forced to look upwards a bit to meet Kane's eyes. Kane's at least an inch taller there, and that's pretty consistent with other in-gear showings. As for footwear, I don't see how Kane is getting more than a 1/2" boost over Taker's gear, seeing as how Kane's boots won't give him any more height boost than a pair of
Nike Shox or Timberlands would, and Taker certainly isn't wearing flats nowadays.

low camera angles will "minimize" height difference not increase it
i think it is pretty much guaranteed that both guys were wearing this gear, in fact i can bet 100% on that because i was there front row ringside for that royal rumble in san antonio

I really believe that if taker stood fully straight he would edge kane, I analized the backstage video and i noticed that the camera angle in favor of kane really had an effect on the perception. Recently in the gym i go to i was talking to one of my friends who is 6 foot tall and i looked less than an inch taller than him with my relaxed posture with my arms to my sides, but when i stood straight i really noticed the difference of almost 3 inches, Its hard to jusge with those backstage angles,
