No need to get pissy Dicksock just b/c someone disagrees with you. Comparing photos from different camera angles will produce bizarre results. I hope you’re joking in ascribing any merit to those comparison pics of Red.
Here I just proved that Andre the Giant was many inches shorter and 150 lbs. lighter than Andre the Giant. Click Here Click Here
You need to put your common sense hat on. A peak Andre had around a full head size on 5’10” guys so he’s around 6’10”, give or take a bit. Big Show has around a full head size on Cain so he’s going to be around 6’11”, give or take a bit, in that pic. Here, the camera is below Cain’s eye level as well as below Arnold’s so it’s probably close to reality Click Here Andre does have a footwear and posture disadvantage.
IIRC Bill Anderson claimed 6’1” so let’s assume he’s 5’11”. Click Here A young Big Show has a full head size and a few inches on him. Click Here That’s about how Andre in wrestling gear measured up to your 5’7” Mean Gene
Sportswriters covering the Ali-Inoki-Andre-Wepner press conference from 1976 estimated Andre at 6’9” for a reason. Andre could not have been wearing cowboy boots b/c he looked too short next to Ali and Wepner in pics from that event.
Here’s your so-called 6’1” Backlund not quite measuring up to your claim. Click Here Click Here

Andre has 1" less footwear than Big Show. Andre is looking up,
in his usual hunched position his chin is lower than his shoulderheight.
So regarding both have similar proportions, Andre had the bigger body, his shoulders are higher.
Big Show catches up total height with his long fore-head.

dicksock, it doesn’t look like Andre was standing on a platform in your video with Vince but remember that Vince would take his shoes off for interviews as well when there was no audience. I posted this on Andre’s page Click Here this shows how much boost Andre’s cowboy boots gave him as it looked like Andre had about a full head size on Arnold in those cowboy boots. Find some pics of 6'1" Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire and the height difference is about the same as between Arnold and Andre there.
Vince looked about Austin’s height in 1999 and was taller than Arnold Schwarzenegger in the ring in 1999 - I doubt Arnold had dropped below 6’0” by that time. Backlund was around 6’0” – about 2 inches taller than 5’10” Bruno Sammartino. Vince usually looked taller than Backlund although I know there is a video or two when the opposite is true, like with Bret Hart.
_____________
No offense, but blah blah blah... Vince was 6'0", Backlund was 6'1", and Andre was 6'11". I'd bet anything that I'm right about that. As for Big Show, he was never above 6'11". You can come up with all the bs you want to, but Andre and Show might as well have been father and son because they are the same height and size.

Click Here Vince looked a little taller than Arnold Schwarzenegger that same year (1999) so he's maybe ~ 6'1".
____________________
Vince looked the same height as 6' Bret Hart in the mid 90s and was definitely a little shorter than 6'1" Bob Backlund. Here is an interview with Andre and Vince from 1979: Click Here
That was 20 years before that comparison with Big Show, so Vince was likely a little taller with Andre as well. You have been trying to make it seem like Big Show was 7' and Andre was 6'9"-6'10". No way is that true. Andre was in cowboy boots with Vince, but Vince was much older with Show and Show's boots have decent sized heels as well. I bet if you did the same type of comparison with Andre/Vince interview that you did with Vince and Show, Andre would come out over 7' in his cowboy boots.

I think Shows head is pretty close to if not full 12", so between 6´10" and 6´10.5" today.
6´11-11.25" peak and around 7´0.75 in big soled wrestlingboots, 7´1+" in big cowboyboots

Big show is about 6'11". I have proof that he shrunk. Kane in thick soles and a mask was still 2 inches shorter. In 2015 when Kane wore only big soles he was only a inch shorter. And Kane is 6'8" so plus the soles Show is about 6'11".

Huber, 6'11 could mean 6'11.75 to and the difference between Shaq and Big Show would be less than 1.5-inches in equal footwear i believe.
Also, Shaq always seems to have the position advantage when he is in the ring with Show like, the camera is always high up thus you can see the surface of the ring at a tilt. Shaq always seems to be at the further end of the ring compared to Show hence looks taller when they are almost face-to-face.

Hi Rob, would like your opinion - Do you think Big Show was ever under 7’0” at peak?
Reading through comments here, looks like many believe he was 6’11” range at peak.
I would agree he did wear big sole boots in the ring, but just can’t see him below 7’0” evening peak height.

That video of Shaq and Big Show from the ESPYs is worthless unless you can see the ground and stances. In some parts of the video he looks 6'8"ish which we know is several inches too short.

I'm sure they were just standing normally. You know like two people talking to each other... It's an award show. Do you honestly think the ground is uneven? You always have excuses for Big Show looking shorter than you want him to be. It is pretty obvious that Shaq has several inches on Big Show. To deny that because you can't see their stance or the ground is comical. We've seen their footwear, and it was similar. Then there is the possibility that Shaq isn't even 7'1" anymore. Show is no more than 6'10.5" these days. Maybe he was closer to 7' in his prime. The idea of him dropping from the 6'11"-7' range down to the 6'10"-6'11" range makes sense.

@Dicksock: I think it’s the other way around. Shaq is not 3” taller than Big Show. That’s not even 2” between them. I can see show as 6’10 range still today maybe about 6’10.25 Shaq could be 6’11.5-7’ today. He was only measured a hair over 7’0 when he was drafted and a guy his size can vary pretty greatly during the day so he could’ve dipped to 6’11 range easily at night

I'm surprised he's still so big. Normally someone who wrestles lose a lot of height due to the injuries and forceful decompression. He's got so much weight on him I thought he'd be 6'9 by now

The hèight difference between Show ans Shaq varies between 1.25-2-inches but.i believe that is due to Shaq's large basketball shoes which must be at 2-inches thick.
The height between Khali is always around 1.5-1.75-inches.
Big Show is not under 6'10 essentially, he can low as a flat 6'10 or even 6'9.75 due to his poor posture. He is probably around 6'10.5 on average and hits likely over 6'11 in the morning and his WCW days, taking footwear into consideration and posture, was most likely walking around 6'11+.

That is from over 10 years ago and Big Show had a significant footwear advantage. Go look at Big Show and Shaq from later that night when Show is in his wrestling boots and Shaq is in sneakers. There was easily a 2" difference. If you look at them WM from a few years ago, they had equal footwear and Show looked 2-3" shorter. Look at the clip where Show challenges Shaq to a match at WM. Shaq pretty much dwarfs him.

If Shaq is 7'1", there is no way Big Show is any more than the 6'10.5" he's listed as on this site.

When Big Show met Shaq the first time he already lost some height.
He was tallest and probably bulkist when he still had hair, and that was circa 1999 2000, but soon that 530ish pound started to compress his spine.
When he lost some weight recently and versus Strowman he still looked solid 6' 11. But again he was putting on some weight quickly.

@A Man: he’s not under 6’10 today. Nothing noticeably at least. He’s still taller than Kevin Durant and only about 1.5” shorter than Shaq in the last picture they had together a while back in the ring. Shaq i see dipping under 7’0” maybe with his weight being closer to 400 but nothing more than maybe 1/4” or so less

I'm confident Show is under 6,10" barefoot these days. There is too much evidence of him outside the ring in normal footwear looking sub 6,10" with other tall men and celebrities.
The only time he looks anywhere near 7 feet is (surprise surprise) when he's in ring gear and wearing massive boots.
Click Here The guy on the far right measured a shade over 6'5" for the NFL draft - that's more than a 5 inch difference. A-Rod is listed as 6'3" but is probably 6'1"ish.

Yunno what I'm beginning to doubt my previous peak estimation of Big show in his prime being 6'11.25. I think this would only be possible in wrestling gear which give him about a 3-inch or so footwear advantage. Without it, I would say barefoot in his prime he was NOWHERE NEAR 7ft2 he was probably about 6'9. And the reason why I think this is bc I saw a pic of him next to 6'8 Lebron James and he nearly stands head-to-head with him and Lebron James is hunched down. (And in case you didn't know, spinal curvature makes you shorter) In conclusion, I honestly believe without the smokescreen and the illusion from the wrestling gear etc, I think Big Show nowadays stands no more than 6'8ft.

He's clearly not currently 7'0 foot and (I hope) everyone can see that. He's lucky if in his prime or youth he was 7 foot. Which very well may have been possible when looking at him in his earlier career in the 2000s. But in the WWE a recurring phenomena is that most of the people signed to raw brand etc sustain body injuries so they have to undergo hip and back surgery that shrinks them. That, and the fact that Big show is indeed older nowadays suggests to me that barefoot at best he's probably 6'10.75-6'11.25ft from losing like 1.75- 2 in.

@Tree: 7'1" is still a little over 7', I'll even count 7'2" a little over 7'. In the interview he was trying to clarify that he was not 7'4" as he once billed, so anywhere lower than 7'4" is possible.
Man,if he was 7ft1-7ft2 peak he would brag about it and say i was always 7ft2
If he sad always a been a bit over 7ft means he was MAX 7ft0.5
7ft2 for Big Show is a joke, dude he never ever looked that tall and 7ft2 is not 'just over 7ft' it is 2 inches away from it that is not a small amount.

Big Show looked noticeably shorter than Ron Reis and Great Khali when they stood with a distance. But when they stood near each other their height difference was very limited (especially with Ron Reis). This is due to Big Show's big head, big forehead and lower eye-level.
I have read a post here or somewhere else a few year back there was a guy who ran a baseball card shop and he has met both Big Show (then Paul Wight) and Kareem and he said they were about the same height.

Has anyone realized that big show wears HUGE inner lifts? It’s obvious if you look close. IF shaqs claim of himself being 6’11 on the Howard Stern Show, and him and big show together at that even recently, puts show at 6’10 at BEST today. Show wore platforms when in ring with the yeti Ron Reis, and still was a good 2” shorter than Ron. 6’10 absolute tops for show today.

I met a bar owner who hired Paul Wight(Big Show)to be a bouncer/doorman. He was telling me they were room mates for awhile. He had pictures of Paul in his office from when Paul worked there. The owner was 6’ 6”. He was dwarved in the picture with Paul Wight. I asked how tall was Paul. He told me he was 482 lbs. and 7’2”. At the time he worked there.
The bar owner was a liar,the absolute most you can argue for big show is 7ft1

Haystacks and Tenta were pretty close in height Click Here but Haystacks was still taller in WCW. It's hard to determine if both are standing in the same position vis-à-vis Gene given how large they are. Haystacks was probably 150 lbs. or more heavier than Tenta at this point so he has to look considerably larger next to Gene in any comparison pics. Click Here If not, Tenta's closer to the camera with Gene.

In the daylimotion vid he looks 6ft7 with good posture next to Mean Gene
I am sure the guy was 6ft7.5 peak he was 48 when he faced Big Show,i don't think you can loose more than an inch by 48 even if he was Fat
I know he was a wrestler but the things he done in the ring were not hard to do,he didn't jump from ropes,he was not often slammmed(he was too heavy to be lifted).If he lost height it was not more than 1 inch.

__________________-
Another way to tell Haystacks was about 6'6" in WCW is compare him with Mean Gene, who was 5'8" at the absolute most by the mid 90s and probably less. Haystacks was only a tiny bit more than a head taller than him. Now let's assume Haystack's head was a little bigger than the average mans. That would have made him about 10.5" taller than a 5'7.5"-5'8" man. That puts Haystacks at 6'6"-6'6.5" in WCW. So either way, he was around 6'6".

Another way to tell Haystacks was about 6'6" in WCW is compare him with Mean Gene, who was 5'8" at the absolute most by the mid 90s and probably less. Haystacks was only a tiny bit more than a head taller than him. Now let's assume Haystack's head was a little bigger than the average mans. That would have made him about 10.5" taller than a 5'7.5"-5'8" man. That puts Haystacks at 6'6"-6'6.5" in WCW. So either way, he was around 6'6".

Any proof old Haystacks was 6ft6?He looks over 6ft7 with 6ft2 Big Daddy,we don't know how much height he lost. Click Here
I was talking about OLD Haystacks @6´6.25" in WCW, he did´nt look really taller than 196cm-198cm sumo listed John Tenta in WCW. Young Haystacks looked 6´7"-6´7.5".
Sid was 6´6.5"-6´7" prime, a 6´7.5" WCW Haystacks would make 1987 Andre easy 7ft Click Here

Well Haystack in the no footwear pic is under Big Shows eyebrowes that normally is a 11cm difference,BUT OUR BIG MAN HAS A LONGER HEAD than a normal fellow so that is a 12cm difference,so if Haystacks was 6ft7 than Big Show was 6ft11.5
Old Haystacks wasn´t 6´7" without footwear, more like 6´6.25"

Here's what I think
Undertaker 6,6.5" peak, as low as 6,5.75" today
Kane 6,6.75" peak, 6,6.5" today
Big Show 6,10.5" peak, as low as 6,9.75" today
Kevin Nash 6,9" peak, 6,8" today
These guys are, and never have been as tall as most people think. Look at any number of photos with other celebrities, or other tall men. The WWE guys never look as tall as you'd expect.

Asuming Old Haystacks in footwear at 6´7" and Big Show in 1.5" heels points to a 6´11" flat Big Show.
In 1.75" boots he´s even shorter than this barefoot.
So 6´11" flat evening is maximum for peak Big Show

@Harry Sachs: traditionally yes your center would be your tallest. Not always. Depends on mix of players you have and tempo etc.whether you are running team or half court etc. However I have played on teams just like today's Golden State Warriors or the 70s bullets with unseld or the 00s pistons with the wallaces where your second or third tallest guy may be your center. In high school I played 2 and 3 at 6'4 whereas we had a 6'8 power forward a 6'5/6'6 small forward and a 6'5/6'6 center. I also played in college where our center was only 6'7 (listed 6'9) and our power forward my freshman year was a legit 6'9".

I have read a article interviewing him back in his early WCW days and he says he is 6'11" but was going to be billed as 7' when they tried to play him off as the son of Andre the Giant and just called him the Giant.

A 6'10.5 peak Big Show would put Andre well under 6'10 and even I don't believe he was that short.
***********************
Look at the evidence, Andre and Big Show come out the same height if Big Show isn´t wearing his 1.75" Monsters.
Big Show isn´t more than 6´10.5" next to Shaq and Strowman Fact
Big Show is a well trained healthier guy than Andre was, why should he lose much height?
I could see Big Show edge Andre by a tad or two. Like Big Show 6´11" and Andre 6´10.5-75".

It is funny when people fight over stuff they clearly have no clue about. Shaquille O'Neal like most basketball players who played in the last 20 or so odd years round their height up by a inch if not more. Shawn Kemp was my favorite player as a kid. He was listed at 6'10 but next to Hakeem Olajuwon who was measured at 6'10 Kemp looked no more than 6'8. Wilt Chamberlain was measured barefooted in his prime at 7'1 by the time he was in his late 50's early 60s he was measured at around 7'0 tall. There are pictures and videos of Shaq in basketball shoes and Wilt in dress shoes standing side by size and Wilt is clearly a inch taller. Which means Shaq is less than 7'0 tall. Shaq himself said on Howard Stern that he was 6'11 3/4 in his prime. Which means Big Show was never 7'0 tall barefooted. It is hard to tell how tall he was compared to Shaq in his prime because their are no pictures. Clearly Big Show has lost some height because of the weight hit put in and because of age. But he was never 7'1 or even 7'0 in his prime.

The center is just the taller guy on the team. So if a team plays run and gun and the tallest guy on the team is 6'6 then he is still the center.

Paul Wight still had about an inch of footwear on Giant Haystacks. He looked about 6" taller than 6'6" old Haystacks. Haystacks was probably 6'6.5" in his footwear and Show was 7'0.5" in his and around 6'11" barefoot in the evening. Show's morning measurement in his prime was probably around 6'11.75" and 7'1" in sneakers. That explains his college listing.

Haystacks did not wear flat soles with Wight - you’ve already been proven wrong on this one too. Click Here Haystacks was also around 2 inches taller than DDP on his tip toes in that same ring Click Here We’ll now await your downgrade of DDP’s height…..
****************************************************
What do you want to prove with your selected pics, showing Haystacks boots-underside to claim they are big and show a pic were we cant see Wights full heel??? Look at the big boot in the ring corner to see Wights actual soleheight and compare them to Haystacks finger wich can´t be less than ~2.2cm thickness...
Haystacks was in 0,5-0,75 wrestlingboots, easy to tell by the shape of his noots, Wight´s boots look monstrous compared to his barefeet Click Here Click Here
Wight was 6´11" max evening, in big boots 7´0.5"
Your basket pics are not comparable, to different camera angles just to fit your agenda....

Paul Wight at one point was obviously 7 feet in height, we're also forgetting at one point he had a lot of hair and that made him look a big taller than he was. if you compare bald big show to big show from the night after his debut in the ring with Vince its obvious the hair plays a factor. This video gives a good indication of it:

Click Here 5min onwards
That´s maximum 4" and Big Show has about 2cm footwearadvantage. Big Show also claimed on german TV that he´s about 3 inches taller than Taker...
Taker was about 6´7"-6´7.25", so early WWE Big Show is about 6´10-6´10.5" barefoot. Imagine a legit 7footer with near 1" footwearadvantage facing Taker, Takers head would maybe come up to the nosetip.
Big Show was also about 3" taller than 6´7.5" Akebono both barefoot.
Big Show in equal footwear was about 2.5"-3" shorter than 7´0.25" Shaq @ the red carpet.
Big Show was with a slight bootadvantage 5 inches taller than 6´5.5" OMG in 1995.
Big Show looked 6´10.5" facing Big Cass, Strowman, meeting Dirk Nowitzki...
6´10.5" is a very realistic listing, can´t see him being 7ft legit ever.

Dicksock, seen the pic of Nash and show backstage together in suits? They're the same height. Show has always worn the same size lifts that Kane did. Nash has said he was 6'11 and his basketball stats say that as well... he's 6'9 Now according to him. I've seen him duck way under door frames for him to be under 6'9
__________
You're wrong. I don't know what else to say. Go ask Kevin Nash himself who is really taller. I would bet anything in this world Paul Wight is taller barefoot; especially in the 90s. It is obvious by looking at their frames. Wight was even about 2" taller than Nash when Nash was in cowboy boots. Again, Nash was roughly the same height as 6'8" Tyler Mane in the early 90s and they had the same footwear. Go watch matches of Big Sky (Tyler Mane) and Vinnie Vegas (Kevin Nash). There is no way Nash was above 6'9". He was 6'9" max barefoot and Wight was about 6'11.5".

Dicksock, seen the pic of Nash and show backstage together in suits? They're the same height. Show has always worn the same size lifts that Kane did. Nash has said he was 6'11 and his basketball stats say that as well... he's 6'9 Now according to him. I've seen him duck way under door frames for him to be under 6'9

A guy on the Undertaker page said the detailed heights are as follows:
Undertaker - 6'6.5(1999 height)
Kane - 6'7.4 (1999)
Big Show - 6'10.8 (1999)
Kevin Nash - 6'8.75
Sid - 6'6.3 (1999)
The more i think about it, it makes sense. If Kane had the 1.75 inch boots, he woukd have been over 6'9 in them. He never looked 6'10, so 6'7.4 + 1.75= just about 6'9.25

I think Tyler Mane was around 6'7.75. Nash had to be about 6'8.75. Kane and Tyler Mane are the same height. Big Show today i cant see anything above 6'10. Prime Giant was 6'11.5. But that makes sense. Undertaker 6'7.25. Tyler Mane 6'7.75. Kane 6'7.75 in his lifts was 6'9.25. That's roughly about the difference him and Taker had at WM14. 2 inches. And between Big Show and Kane - 2.5 inches at King of The Ring 1999.

There's no way this is true. Even if Show wore bigger footwear, there was no less than 2-2.5 inches between both at peak barefoot.

Dicksock, These are just my guesses and I could be wrong. It's really weird where the backstage video of Nash and the Giant on WCW Thunder, and Big Show is clearly looking up at Nash. It wasn't one of those camera tricks
_____________
I've seen that clip on Thunder. It only looks like Nash is taller because of their positioning to the camera. Big Show in every other other comparison is taller. Nash was the roughly the same height as 6'8/6'8.5" Tyler Mane in the early 90s. Big Show was 3"-4" taller than 6'8" sumo wrestler, Akebono, when both men were barefoot. So we've seen how tall Big Show was barefoot. He was at least 6'11" barefoot in his prime. Nash was never above 6'9" or else he would have looked taller next to Tyler Mane. Sorry, but there is no valid argument that one could make to try and prove Nash was taller than Big Show. The Thunder clip is useless.

I cant´t see a peak height of a clean 7 ft for Paul Wight. He was most likely a little bit under that mark - 6-11,5 to 6-11,75.
Kane was 2-3" shorter than him in the late 90ies staredowns - Big Show was in his 20ies (!) then. That didn´t work with
a peak height of 7 ft for Show - Kane had to be 6-9 or more then without shoes, but he clearly wasn´t that tall.

It wasn't one of those camera tricks they do with Cass and Show to try and make Cass the same height (you can still clearly see Show is taller), but this was very strange. Nash IS closer to the camera, but Big Show is CLEARLY looking up at Nash and not just by a margin, but it almost looks like he's looking up at him at least 2 inches. Then 10 minutes later in the ring, Nash is looking up at Show. Makes me wonder if Show used inside and outside lifts and when he came to the ring, he but his inside lifts in. But even that, a man that size wouldn't be able to walk easily in them. Check out the link I posted below where I say that Nash is taller than Wight.

Show's definitely getting some major help from lifts while he's in the ring. Look at the recent pics of him with Strowman, you can clearly see Show's boots are more than twice as thick as Strowman's.
It's stuff like this that makes me think he might only be in the 6,9" range barefoot.

From the looks of things:
Prime Show: 6'10 - Wore 1.5 inch platforms to be 6'11.5.
Prime Nash: 6'10.5 - - Never wore lifts. (College Height: 6'11) - usually colleges round up to the nearest inch.
Prime Kane - 6'7.5 - Wore 1.75 inch platforms to be 6'9.25
Prime Taker - 6'7 - Was 6'7.5 in boots.

The idea that Nash is taller than Wight is absurd. You don't know that Wight wore lifts and that Nash didn't. You're just guessing. Wight always looked 2-3" taller than Nash in WCW and WWE. Even Nash in cowboy boots was 2" shorter than Paul Wight in wrestling boots. Nash was about the same height as 6'8" Tyler Mane in WCW so you can forget about anything above 6'9" for him. Meanwhile Big Show was 3-4" taller than 6'8" listed sumo champion Akebono when both men were barefoot. So you're wrong. Sorry, but for a fact you're wrong. I would literally bet the fate of the entire world that Paul Wight was at least 6'11" in his prime. He was most likely closer to 7'0". Even now, he is nearly 6'11" at least.

That's a really strange piece of video. Nash definitely looks the taller backstage but in the ring where (presumably) they're in the same footwear Show looks taller.
In my previous post I wasn't suggesting that I think Nash is genuinely taller, he almost certainly isn't. But there is too much evidence about to suggest Show is barely 6,10" these days, and perhaps he never was any taller than that.
The Akebono pictures I will concede do throw a spanner in the works. Who knows.

The comments on Big Show looking noticeably shorter out of ring gear on this page and Kane's page are interesting. Look at any number of pictures of him out of the ring with other celebrities; look at him with Rafa Nadal, look at him with Lebron James, look at him with Shaq.
And then there's the picture of him with Kevin Nash where they're both wearing suits, and Nash actually comes out a touch taller (if I knew how to link on this site I would).
This isn't a man who looks in the 7 foot range or anywhere near it, he honestly looks 6,9" in some pictures. It's all well and good seeing him stand 2-3 inches over Big Cass in the ring and saying easy 6,10.5"-6,11", but when you've got no idea what footwear advantage he's being given in the ring it's completely redundant.

There's no doubt that Big Show has lost height. How much height is debatable. Based on pics/videos of him from the past (1995-2000), easily looked 7'0" range. Nowadays his height can be as low as 6'10". 6'10.5" is a good estimate based on pics with Dirk Nowitski, Lebron James, even Shaq from around 2009 (see google images). The pic with Kevin Nash in suits does look like he is the same height, but perhaps the angle of the pic does not capture the true story. IMO Nash is still a good 2" shorter than Show, but I could be wrong.

Rob, wanted your opinion - Why do wrestling companies have a tendency to exaggerate wrestlers heights? Is it because they believe fans truly think that wrestlers are larger than life? Maybe kids don't notice it as much, but why bill someone 3/4 even 5 inches taller than they actually are ( For example: Kane 7'0" billed, 6'7.5" true peak barefoot). Sometimes they get it right (Randy Orton, John Cena) who are billed near their peak height but I always wondered if they worry about losing their audience by actually showing the true measurements of wrestlers.

Editor Rob maybe ties in with the 'bigger is better' mentality.
I doubt they'd lose audience if they started doing real height/weight measurement videos.
In fact they could incorporate some of it into their shows, do build-ups, have jokes and running Gags...
I highly recommend that the WWE should consider proper Height/Weight components to their entertainment.

If Big Show was 7'0 so Shaq is a weak 7'1 and Khali a bit over. If Andre was 7'0 so Shaq is a bit over 7'1 and Khali a weak 7'2.
Of course, all this is impossible.

WWE is ridiculously trying to sell Cass at 7' along Show when in the reality he is a good 2inches shorter and neither of them are this mark.The keyfabe factor ruins the industry at same time builds up.

Big cass, kane and Big show both listed equally at 7 foot in the rankings of tallest wrestlers , when even a 2 years old kid would have noticed that kane and cass are at least 3 in shorter than big show.
As I stated before, wwe is ridicolus with heights.

Why do so many men overplay their height and weight? Am I missing something? - That question is for anyone!
I think that Big Show is a little bit under 6'10.5", but like you said he was never 7'0"!

Ma,
Agreed. WWE heights are utter Horsh!t. 7'0 is ridiculous for Big Cas. He is a good athlete however. I mean he has the build of the Undertaker early on in his career whereas Big Show, Strowman, Even Kane are naturally not as Fast, but thicker and stronger.

Show looked around 6'10.75 with Cass IMO. His posture has vastly improved with his weight loss.
All this 6'8/6'9 talk from a few select people on here has been put to bed with his staredowns with 6'8.5 Cass and 6'7 Strowman.

lol Big Cass last night claimed 7 feet...And then a big man, listed here as 6 ft 10.5, arrived in the ring and he was taller by 2.5 in...
I don't know why WWE wants make Cass as 7 foot when he was always listed at 6 ft 10 during NXT.
The only way he looks a legitimate 7 ft is with the other fake billing of Kane (7 foot); I don't know why at this point they don't overbill also big Show by 4 in. They are ridicoulus with heights

Editor Rob yes the weight gain maybe helped his overall look as it's not as obvious because he's nearly 7ft...he was 19 when he had pituitary surgery I believe, if he didn't the acromegaly would have caused more bone protrusion.

Why do these bit guys always seem to plump for the same type of girl?
Mind you, even a girl of 6ft would look petite next to him! I don't know Kelly's height, but she looks tiny next to Powerhouse Paul, who I reckon is 6ft10.5. I don't see him as ever having been a full 7ft. I think his peak was just a wee bit under - 6ft11.75, but probably a comfortable rolling-out-of-bed height for him I think WOULD have been 7ft!
I don't much like the idea of being one of his faithful little pets asleep next to him by his bed, only to find I'm on the receiving end of a drowsy, drunken Paul, falling splat out of bed after a night on the tiles...

DDP WAS 6FT4!When Rob met him he sad he looked atleast 6ft3.5, Rob is pretty good at guessing height, and he only reached DDP's mouth that would make him 6ft4.
But even if DDP was only 6ft3(which he wasn't) that would still make show look atleast 6ft11.5 because his head is longer than average.

In all photos so far of Cass/Show together outside the ring, Show has looked anywhere from 2 to 3 inches taller than him. None have been particularly great in terms of them standing right next to each other but Show is clearly taller.
Cass seems to be 6'8.5 range barefoot as he had close to a couple of inches on 6'7 Strowman not so long ago:
Click Here - Strowman/Cass

Show in a full posture staredown would likely have a little over 2 inches on Cass, it all depends on how he stands when it eventually happens.

After seeing The Big Show (Paul White) standing next to Shaq, who is apparently 7'1" I'd say Big Show is about 6'10" maybe 6'10.5" there was a good 2.5 - 3 inches between them, because you have to take into account Big Shows wrestling boots, he usually has a good 2 inch sole like Kane does.

When he and Shaw and he paired off Shaq was definitely taller.

Rob, do you ever think Big ever hit the 7'1.5'' mark out of bed at some point??

Editor Rob with guys his size, there is definitely more potential to lose over an inch, maybe even near 2 inches because of the extra length in the spine compared to a mere 5ft 9 average height man.

i think it's definitely reasonable he was a little over 7 foot cause the guy is just MASSIVE anyway so there was probably some compression going on

Wight being a flat 6'11 prime would throw a lot of things off. A shade under 7'0 is possible but under that I just can't see.
He did wear big boots in WCW, but lets be realistic the most advantage he'd be getting over a regular 1.25' wrestling boot would be half an inch to 0.75'? Anything over 2 inches is broken ankle territory, 2 inch boots were the kind of stuff Kane wore in the late 90's and they looked huge.
His boots today look a little smaller than say 15 years ago but it's not drastic. At a 7'0 prime he was likely 7'1.75 in his biggest WCW boots and at 6'10.75/6'11 today he's probably just over 7'0 in his boots today.
Poorer posture, lack of hair, smaller boots contribute to him looking a tad smaller than he did in the 90's, but him having 4+ inches on a 6'7 guy a few weeks ago (after 100lbs weight loss/improved posture) is something a alleged 6'8 guy (which yes is stupid) could not do in regular wrestling boots.

How about we figure out how tall an elevator door is? We seem him have to duck going in one right? pictures can't do justice bc we weren't actually there. My 6'6.5 friend doesn't look 6'6 in his pictures. Does that make him less than 6'6.5? No. Too many odd angle photos to think we KNOW his height. Also, you NEVER know if another people he's standing with are wearing hidden lifts. It's super common.

Strong 6'10" barefoot 6'10-6'10.5. Probably more 6'10.25. He's about 1.5" shorter than Shaq who likely dips a fraction below 7'0" as well at his low

Nash was barely 2" taller than 6´7" Undertaker and barely 1" taller than 6´8" Tyler Mane
Paul was barely 4" taller than 6´7" Undertaker
Paul was barefoot max 2" taller than Nash, with his giant Big Boots he could look 2.5"-3" taller...
Pauls "always been a little over 7ft" claim is either in shoes or early morning measurement...
...maybe even as bad as Glenn claiming 5´8"

I don't think Big Show's still under 6ft10.5 even today. Extremely tall guys like him cover up more height when they have loose posture compared to normal people. He doesn't have the best posture in the world, hence why he may appear sub-6ft10.

My best guess is for Big Show is probably 6'10" now and I'd say 7' or a little over at his peak.
The Shaq pictures have been a big source of debate here. Trying to narrow down Shaq's height I still think he's 7'1" based on all the pics that have been posted as of late of him in front of height rulers. The height rules put him at nearly 7'3", which makes sense if he wears basketball shoes that give him about a 2" boost.

I know he apparently said on Howard Stern that he was measured 6'11" or 6'11.5" and was told to exaggerate his height. I can't find that video anyone have a link?
He apparently entered the NBA when he was 20 years old, so it's possible he could have grown another inch or two. Click Here
This could explain the height difference between him and Wilt Chamberlain or that could be a footwear thing: Click Here anyone know what year this was?
Credit to Red78_01's photobucket I think this is pretty accurate: Click Here
Their footwear looks comparable, a 2" boost for each.

I defy anyone on here to show me a picture where Show ever looked a legitimate 7 feet tall.
If you accept that Taker and Kane were never any more than 6,7" and 6,7.5" respectively, then none of the staredowns they ever had with Show ever make him look more than 6,11".
Some further evidence; he looks no more than 6,10" opposite Strowman, who himself looked only a quarter inch shorter than 6,8" billed strongman Brian Shaw. And that is if you accept Brian Shaw is 6,8", which Celebheights own evidence does NOT support. Rob has Hafthor Bjornsson at 6,7.75", and Brian always comes out half to three quarters of an inch shorter than Thor in the multiple photos of them together.
And yet further; Show never looked more than 2" taller than Kevin Nash who Celebheights has at 6,9", but if you look at the photo of Nash with Rob you're going to have to have a pretty good imagination to see him stretching out to anything over 6,8.5".
I don't believe Paul Wight has ever been 7 feet. I think a 6,10.75"-6,11" peak in the 90s and today is barely scraping 6,10".

I think with his claim, it could mean he is a quarter or half inch over 7 feet. Also said something about his Acromegaly, he's a bit skeptical about being taller if it didn't get removed, but believes he would be more wacky looking if he still had it. Which i think might be the case.

Hey Rob, mind adding his claims in a Howard Stern interview back in 1999. Click Here. At 3:18 when Howard asked How tall he was when he was 12. Paul replied "6'2", 220 (pounds)". At 3:28, when asked how tall he is now. Paul replied "I'm a little over 7 foot, about 420 (pounds)". I think it is quite important to know, he still says the same thing 17 years later.

Looks 213 cm in his prime and 211 cm as his current height. Kane was maybe 3.5-4 inches shorter than Big Show's peak height and 1-2 cm taller than the Undertaker. The Undertaker is now probably 201 cm and Kane is 203 cm so maybe 2 cm lost from their peak heights. What say, Rob?

It's such a shame Show vs Shaq isn't happening at Wrestlemania now because there'd have definitely been some staredowns between the two. Would have been interesting to see how Show stacked up now he's lost some weight and can stand up straight again.

Recent pic of Big Show next to Shaq. He's looking about 6'8"-6'9" these. He's had hip replacement (shortened femur) and has had back and neck surgery (fusion). In his PRIME (WCW days), he would have stood as tall Shaq (7'0"), if not having edged him out slightly (7'0.5"). He has lost tremendous height. Recent pic of them together from this year. Big Show is closer to the camera AND is wearing bigger heeled boots than Shaq. Claiming he is 6'10.5" next to MAX 7'0" Shaq is utterly ridiculous.
