Road Warrior Animal's Height
6ft 1 (185.4 cm)
Joseph Laurinaitis was an American professional wrestler. In this 2015 LFCC photo I'm wearing 1 inch Nikes, whilst Joseph's didn't seem much different.

What's interesting about Road Warrior Hawk, is that he was often billed as 6'3", and so was Typhoon (Fred Ottman). Yet, standing face-to-face, Typhoon had 2 to 3 inches on Hawk. It's very unusual for a wrestler's billed height to be shorter than their actual height.

Weak 6-0 above. Probably 6-0.5 peak imo no more.

Looks under 6 foot with Rob. Mid 50's he was during the picture with Rob. I can't see him loosing more than 1/2"-3/4" tops. He was not as tall as 6'1 in his prime, but may have been Close.
Whether he was 6'0 or 6'1, he was a Tank. In his heyday looked around 275-285 pounds.

Rob, could you add Hawk?

He was billed 6ft3 and I now think he may actually have been that, the more I look at old footage of him with Animal.

I met him in 07 and I’d say he was my height. 6’025. Peak 6’1.

184cm zone today is likely. Peak was a decent 6ft1.
Hawk was at least 6ft2

Why is there no peak and current listings? He's clearly not 6'1" anymore.

Needs a peak and current height desperately. He's old now and been through hell.
6'1.25 peak today 6'0.5-.75

I don't think Hawk was too far off 6ft3. I could see him as 189-190cm range and Animal maybe 186cm.

I'd say Animal's peak was his billed height of 6-1 but he looks 6 feet flat today. Hawk was billed as 6-3 throughout his career, but I always thought he looked closer to 6-2.

Any thoughts on how tall Hawk was? He appeared to be about 1 or 2 inches taller than Animal.

Rob, could he have been taller than this in his wrestling days?
He was billed 6ft2 in the 80's.

Editor Rob I'm not sure he really was that tall in 80's.

That's a great photo.
Rob are you surprised that wrestlers are often as big as their billed height?
Watching Animal on TV for years I would have said he was 5'11.
When I met him up close I was surprised by his height.

Editor Rob some guys can be taller/shorter.
I mean when WWE billed billy gunn at 6ft 3...it surprised me as I think he looked over that.

of course not comparable to seeing them in the flesh, only judging by your pics and try to figure out posture, I would say:
today evening
Animal 6´0"
Beefcake 6´0.5"
Hacksaw 6´0.5"
DiBiase 6´0.75"

Editor Rob Beefcake I think would probably measure almost 6ft 1, Duggan/Hacksaw near enough 6ft 1, Road Warrior didn't really look much different than big alex in person, so he might be 184 range.

Wow, another nice wrestlerpic.
Rob, he looks more like 6ft flat there and shorter than Hacksaw, DiBiase and Beefcake

Editor Rob Animal wasn't much smaller than beefcake that day.
I actually seen Duggan and Dibiase at film con again and one can look to edge the other out at times...dibiase might well when measured manage to stretch up the tallest.
