Rob, I think 6'10.75'' to 6'11.25'' seems more fair than just 6'10.5'', the problem is Big Show's very big head and wide figure fools people to give illusion he's shorter I still think he could measure 7 ft depending on his day lol

imagine Big Show had an extra 2cm with a '
Bust a Gut' measurement...I think the mark he is on is the lowest I'd go for today.

Russell Okung's official NFL Combine measurements:
HT: 6'5.25"
WT: 307 lbs
Okung is a legit 6'5" barefoot ! Big Show looks a legit 7'0" barefoot with him! Unless Big Show is slightly tip toeing ?? One thing is for sure, Since dropping from 435-440 lbs down to 385-390 lbs, his posture has improved by leaps & bounds!!!!

Philip McMullin well your "classing" would be wrong. Inaccurate. Your opinion on 5" being "not so much" is also wrong. 5" taller or longer is significantly BIGGER in every way way. Nobody can deny that. Forgive my hostility but it's insane to think 5" isn't way bigger.

I think 207-208cm is big shows barefoot height nowadays
I agree. People (including Rob) is for some reason ignoring the interview between Shaq and Big Show from a few months ago, where Shaq is literally dwarfing him today. Back in the mid-late 90's, they would have been the EXACT same height, if not Big Show having the edge back then. Imo, he's lost a tremendous amount of height. He was 7'0.5"-7'1" in the 90's and is looking to like a flat 6'10" (even 6'9" and change) AT BEST today.
Slim said on 22/Feb/17
Philip McMullin oh now the story changes? You said you didn't have to look up now you're saying "all the way up" 6'4 compared to 6'9 is a HUGE difference. I garuantee you my 6'9" co worker Mark would tower your 6'4" body. Regardless of "broadness"

Slim ,
You asked how is 6'6" not a giant-like, as we were mentioning big cas . We were comparing Andre and show and how they were "giant" on a different level. Again, if you can't recognize show and andre's size as being in a different level then some typical 6'7" guy you have problems .

mrtguy,
Correct. Due to their Condition Big Show and Andre were unnaturally Big. If Big Cas is the next gen Giant that they are going to try to push then they are in trouble.
Strowman is one strong dude however. Not in the "Giant" Category, but as far as power, he is right up there with the best of them. We may very well never see a "Giant" again since the modern WWE Wrestlers seem to be getting smaller.
Don't even mention great Khali b/c he was the most uncoordinated, charisma lacking piece of sh!t the WWE has ever hired.
mrtguy said on 16/Feb/17
Comparing Big Show to Andre whether who is better, stronger and agile is getting irritating, both men or GIANTS should say have such natural feats of strength from the condition. In my opinion I don't think there is no one who you could think is more GIGANTIC than those two GIANT of men physically or imposing nowadays!
Jordan87 said on 16/Feb/17
Undertaker Frank,
I have yet to See Pics of Andre looking taller than Big Show next to Mean gene. ( Giant was in WCW he boots were thicker than Andress but not as Thick as they were in WWF/WWE).
Next to The same people Andre has not really looked taller than Big Show.
Im Not saying Show is alot taller than Andre. Maybe an Inch.
Big Sow Maintained a Much More Muscular frame, on top of being faster and More Agile. Andre's Accent killed alot of his Mic. Big Show is quite entertaining at times.
Undertaker Frank said on 15/Feb/17
Jordan i Believe Show was more Agile than Andre but Taller ?? Show wore Big heeled soles & Possibly lifts Andre wore wrestling boots with a .5 heel in the ring I believe they would be real close in height
Jordan87 said on 15/Feb/17
Prime for Prime Big Show was taller, Heavier, stronger, faster, and Better on the Mic Than Andre the Giant. As I have said on the Andre Boards, if Show was around the same time, he would have been by far the better Big Man.
After the weight lost recently Show's posture has certainly improved. He looked to be a good 6'10 with Strowman.

I don't believe Shaq is only 7' max. I think he's more like 7'1" and he's about 2/2.5" taller than Show. No way in the world is Show anything less than a solid 6'10". He looks too tall next to everyone else.

Even in that picture the height difference between Show and Khali is very limited.
(A reminder is don't look at the height of their eyes because Show has a huge forehead)
Plus at that time he already put on a lot of weight and started to shrink.
Sean said on 2/Feb/17
Should be interesting to see Show vs Shaq at this years wrestle mania. Show's posture looks to have improved since he has lost weight, so the staredown with Shaq and Show at WM could be telling. IMO the difference will still be max 2" (maybe 1.5") difference:
Big Show: 6'10.5" barefoot, 7'0" in wrestling boots
Shaq: 7'0.5" barefoot, 7'2" in his sneakers
When it comes to Big Show's peak height, especially when he debuted in WCW back in 1995, you can make the case he was legit 7'0" tall and perhaps a little over - 7'0.25"-7'0.5".

Now a days Show is around 380-400lbs and looks great. Strowman announced on instagram, after weeks of intense cardio, that he dropped 40lbs from 390. He's been about 350 or so pounds for most of last year and hoenstly he suits this look. Very menacing.

If Strowman is actually 385 pounds, Then the SHow is still over 400. He has the same build as Strowman and is at least 3" taller. Show says he is 370, Making Strowman about 350 in my book.

Khali is taller than show so I didn't need to include him. Nash Morgan and Jones were not closer in height to show than Kane was. As for the other guys you mentioned. Never heard of them or seen them. I've seen Morgan without his lifts with Nash. Nash is taller by far.

WOW You must of had a coma or something, Big Show's height mostly comes from the head proportion, just like Andre 12 and over inch head.

Khali, Morgan, jones, nash (in 2002 and 2011) all stacked up better next to wight. Cottonwood, Jackson andrews, giant titan were certainly taller than Kane and Tron the northern Irish nightmare who was under contract for a while is easily taller than Kane in person.

Strowman is 199 cm (6 6 0.25). In the last video with Show he's about 4 inches shorter than him (take a look at the end of the video...cameras can easily confuse your mind due to different camera angles ). Yet Show has definitely a footwear advantage which brings the difference down to 3 inches or so. Therefore I still believe Show is 6 9 1/2 (207 cm). Maybe as said 6 10 as peak height (208 cm) in the morning/early afternoon. I'm curious to see him again next to Shaq at WM. That will make it more clear....
James B said on 25/Jan/17
Rob although he does look over 6'10 perhaps though strowman would look much taller compared to showif he was not so heavy and stood as well as big show.
I'd imagine strowman walks around at 6'6 with all his extra weight and not perfect posture unlike show.

I wouldn't say he's dwarfing Strowman, the difference looks the same as ever. Maybe a tad more due to Show being able to straighten his back out a bit more now but there's still only about 3 inches in it.

Strowman is back to normal soled footwear there and looks easy 4-4.5inches shorter, in bigger footwear it looked less than 3.5 in some matches.

I don't know what he's been doing in the gym, but he hasn't look this good since 1997. Where his posture was pretty awful in the last decade, it's near perfect nowadays.
Click Here
Nothing wrong with his posture here. He's tilting his head a bit backwards, creating the illusion that the gap between him and Strowman is a bit bigger than it really is. He also has a slight camera advantage. Although the difference between them is probably close to 5 inches, when adjusting Big Show's head and putting it in a similar position as Strowman's head. Big Show has a footwear advantage, but probably no more than 0,5 inch.
Click Here
If Big Show is now 370lbs, how much would you say Strowman is. Big Show still is noticeably bigger than Strowman. I'd say he could be about 50lbs heavier than Strowman, especially since Big Show's bone structure is much larger than Strowman's.

They obviously exaggerated Baba's height and size in that figure. He was several inches shorter than 6'11" max Andre in the late 80s and was the same height as 6'8" Tyler Mane in 1990. Baba was in the 6'8" range in his prime and Big Show was a solid 6'11" guy and possibly 7' in his prime. Akebono is 6'7"-6'8" himself and would only be a little shorter than Baba.
Mark said on 17/Jan/17
JT I already modified my estimation for Big Cass @ 6 8 1/2 (204 cm).
The point is that footwear has big influence on the height of these guys. In my opinion Big Show normally wears boots who can lift him by 2 inches. As a matter of fact when he wears dress shoes or sneakers he is definitely shorter! Same for Shaq O' Neal. I am not changing my mind on Show height (207 cm) and I agree on Shaq height (213 cm as he is shorter than Jabbar by 4 cm today. Kareem is no more than 217 as we was 218 when he was young). Of course my estimations consider an average height of whole day (for Guinness World Record measurement the rule is to take three measurement during the day - morning, afternoon, evening - and then calculate the average height).
Relevant Undertaker he is shorter than Strowman who is a couple of inches shorter than Big Cass (199 cm). My guess for Taker is therefore197 cm. Kane is in between the two (198 cm). When he's next to Taker there is a very small difference (half inch).

Si said on 10/Jan/17
I remember reading something years ago about how Big Show in 2006 purposely gained weight in the build up to the Lashley match because he wanted to be his biggest ever. I think he'd been steadily creeping over 510-520 but ate his way over 550 lbs at the end of 2006 and Lashley could barely lift him. He wanted to be huge like Andre I heard, by the look of him he was too
Mark said on 9/Jan/17
Please take a look at the Andre the Giant Battle Royal at Wrestlemania 32. Shaq is way taller than Show and Kane. If Shaq is 7 ft then Kane can't be more than 6 ft 6 (198 cm) and Show can't be taller than 6 ft 9 1/2 (207 cm)...I can say 6 ft 8.25 for Big Cass (204 cm) since he's variously listed at 6 ft 8 or 6 ft 9 and have double-checked his footwear...but can't change my mind for Kane and Show... Talking about tall wrestlers Braun Strawman is 6ft 6 1/2 (199 cm) to me, slightly taller than Taker (197 cm).

Big shows way taller than Big Cass who's 6'9 (according to the man himself) and also Kane is well over 6'6. look at him next to Corbin who measured 6'6.5 in the NFL and he's at least an inch taller
Cass is 6'8'' he was listed that height in basketball, the only reason he could pass as taller is with that small head

I found this footage of Big Show and Nash together at the end of WW3 in 1996:
Click Here
It is very interesting. Both were in ring gear, and there are times when Show only looked 1" taller. There are times when he looked 3" taller. We know Nash was no more than 6'9" because of how he stacked up next to 6'8 range Tyler Mane. One thing I can say is this should completely destroy the people who think peak Paul Wight was like 2-3" taller than a peak Andre. Andre in 1990 stacked up as good next to Tyler Mane than a peak Paul Wight did next to Nash. Once again, we know that Nash and Mane were virtually the same height.
Heightcrazyred, you should make some screencaps from this footage. Maybe compare it with Andre and Mane. Based on everything I've seen, I would go with 6'11.5" prime and 6'10.5" now. Just the same as Andre.

Didn't Kevin Nash and Reis (forget his first name) accuse him of wearing lifts during WCW? Idk about that but it's certainly interesting.
He was listed as "7'1 and 325 pounds" in his college basketball profile. I'd give him that in his prime. I'd like to believe that he's still a legit 7'0 nowadays but he probably is just a bit under.
I don't agree with people claiming he's 6'9 and under.

Holly Hell at the vid of Nash being taller than show. "Forced perspective"? Why would they TRY to make Nash look taller than their GIANT? Is this why Nash always said he was the one true giant??? Yeah... show wore platforms as Nash has stated in an interview. Nash never wore those and he was close to shows height so show without lifts, is possibly shorter..
RP said on 15/Dec/16
DickSock! Pro wrestling has a history of sticking guys at their designated billed weights, even if they lose a bunch of weight...or gain in some cases such as Adrian Adonis. Big Show had been down to 415-420 lbs for several months, but...WWE was still billing him @ 450 lbs & 441 lbs! Back several years ago when he got huge & gained massive weight & was in the 470-500 lbs range, WWE were billing him @ 475/485, sometimes 500! They Kept him at those billings for over a year after he dropped back down to 440-450. Was just saying it was refreshing to see them actually announce someone at the true legit current weight. They've only done that a handful of times over the 30-40 years. Especially when they want to portray a 7'0" & 450 lbs giant... Like I said, it was refreshing to see, since they had still been billing him at 450 & 441 for months,...when he was actually 420-ish. Just like with Andre who was legitimately 500 lbs to 520 lbs in 1986-early 1988...however, in late 1988/early 1989 Andre had briefly dropped back down to 470-480 lbs...but, was still being billed @ 520 lbs. So, yes ...a lot of times pro wrestlers true weights are a "secret"...just like there true heights. Even Big Show laughed his ass off at the thought of WCW billing him @ 7'4" back in the 1990's!

Moreover at a recent show Shaq was clearly taller than him. If you consider that Shaq is 213 cm tall (7ft) Show can't be taller than 207 cm. He lost height throughout the years due to weight and wrestling matches...He was 211 cm tall (6ft 11in) at his peak. Rob what is your opinion? Thanks

If you actually look at what they are wearing in the ring, Big Show does not have a footwear advantage.

If you actually look at what they are wearing in the ring, Big Show does not have a footwear advantage. They've never looked as far apart in the ring as they did on the red carpet, so my only conclusion is big show was slouching heavily which he tends to do given his weight, and which people can do in tight suits.

Rob, at any rate Big Show and Brahim Takioullah's head length are similar the reason Brahim's head can give longer impression is because his head is thinner and has a very thin physique. Big Show on the other hand, has a chest as wide as 70'' and is very bulky guy so in pictures it will obviously will not look massive, but in person you'd be surprised how HUGE Big Show's head is.

No I haven't. I believe he had some knee surgery in the past, but certainly no neck surgery, back surgery or a hip replacements. Those surgeries would've sidelined him for a number of months (neck surgery even close to a year). The only time Big Show ever took that amount of time from wrestling was in 2007. And he didn't have any surgeries during those months.

Big Show had around 3 inches on Nash in comparable footwear back in the early 2000s. Click Here Big Show has lost height but most is probably posture-related. There's a good deal of whiplash head movement in wrestling so he may have developed some osteoarthritis and resulting kyphosis in his neck.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
osteoarthritis and resulting kyphosis in his neck??
That counts double or triple for Andre, you can´t have it both ways.
Big Show with his biggest WCW-boots had never more than 3inches on Nash, if that.
So how can he be 3inches taller in comparable footwear?
Big Show was max 2inches taller than Nash, both barefoot.

Those stock exchange pics are showing Paul is now only 6'10" barefoot
It's crazy considering how much height Big Show had on Kevin Nash (who I believe was 6'10" at the time in the WCW in the mid-late 90's. Hogan at that time was same height as 6'5" Scott Hall and Ted Dibiase was 6'3". He also TOWERED over minimum 6'7" Lochness.
Big Show was a legit 7'0.5" (could pull off a full 7'1") guy back then (he was listed as 7'1" in college basketball). His neck was very long (today he had no neck due to neck surgery). His upper torso was longer back then (he's had back surgeries). His legs were longer then too (he's had hip replacement surgery as well).

miko said on 18/Nov/16
Just remember though, lets say Show is a flat 6'10 these days, which isn't impossible of course, it would in turn affect other wrestlers heights adversely.
Kane would be pushed down to 6'6 range for starters. Khali would be barely over 6'11, Show was around 1 inch shorter than him in most staredowns 5 years ago, and most would say that he always looked 7'1 range.
I still believe that in maximum posture he is closer to 6'11 than 6'10, he always manages to squeeze out extra height in staredowns if he is nose to nose with somebody and giving it everything, like he did with Khali, and Shaq a few years ago. In normal posture/slouching he can look a lot shorter.
Someone mentioned him being 6'9 on this site recently, now that is a joke.

Hard to gauge his height given footwear and the fact that it appears he slouches a lot(400+ pounds will do that).

That was a long time ago, before either of them lost any height. Nash was at least 6ft9.5 at the time, plus he had a camera angle advantage over Show. He had a good 2.5 inches over Nash.

Rob, when you picture Big Show next to Sultan do you think it will look short but NOT small??
Editor Rob
it will be a big enough difference, but the bulkiness of Big Show might still be an impressive sight beside Sultan.

People have their choice to manipulate the truth. But not just i see 2" differences from shaq and big show and even my cousins i asked and my friend agree big show look 6'10 at most with shaq besides that big show have boots on and shaq dress shoes. People should keep in mind a fact..
drummer7777 said on 4/Nov/16
True that is photo shop and it would seem to prove accurate according to "DraftExpress" showing Shaq to be 7'0 feet without shoes and that photoshop picture showing Shaq in the 7'1 range with shoes on..... heights will vary with shoes...
S.J.H said on 4/Nov/16
I thought big show look 2" shorter than a 7 footer shaquille o'neal. If anyone buy this 6'10.5 then shaquille o'neal would be 7'0.5
Big Show 208cm
Shaquille O'neal 213cm
Captain YG said on 4/Nov/16
Rob, don't you think Michael Kingma can be 6'8'' I mean he looks it with you but he has giant head, but not as big as Andre's or Big Show??
Editor Rob
I think he'd measure over it a bit.

He's not agile at all...
-----------------
For a guy in his mid 40s and 400lb+ he is pretty freaking agile including pulling off flying top rope elbow drops
He wouldn't do much in mma though as he isn't trained in any martial art or real wrestling. Akebono and Giant Silva were useless in mma. The pro wrestlers that have done well in mma (Shamrock, Severn, Lesnar, Lashley) all had strong amateur backgrounds. Angle in his peak, swagger, ziggler would have done well in mma most likely..undertaker, Kane, nash, rock and austin not so much

No way he is below 6'11" today when standing fully upright compared to 7'1" Shaq, and was likely a hair above 7'0" at his peak. There is NO chance he has lost 2" by his age is rediculous.
Lars said on 15/Oct/16
I have doubt Shaq was under 7'2'' on the red carpet, as he was still noticeably taller than his 6'8'' son who had his hair pointing upward.

Shaq isn't under 7'0".
RP said on 6/Oct/16
I heard that it was later admitted that the person misheard & misspoke Big Show's size...said (6'7") when it was supposed to be (6'11")...and said (325), when was supposed to have said (425)... And 6'11" & 425 is very, very believable & most likely the accurate truth right now.

Claims for BS under 6'10 are ridiculous.

Shaq is 7-2 in sneakers without(!) standing fully stretched out.
I´m 5-9,75 and I´m 0,75" to 1" taller when I´m standing fully stretched out.

Big Show may not look like he can clear 7 feet these days but there's no way he's 6'7" and 325 lbs. Looks way bigger than that.
kingkong56 said on 3/Oct/16
Looked every bit a giant during his early years. Possibly could have maxed at 7'0.5. Gives a 6'10.5 impression now mainly owing to poor posture, but still a good 6'11 potentially.

We have been commenting on that video for months now. I don't where you're getting 6'11.75" for Shaq when he is 7'2" in sneakers. Shaq is 7'1" and Show is about 6'10.5" and was never above 7'. 6'8" is absurd for Big Show. He is still about 4" taller than 6'6" minimum Kane.

he can look a couple of inches smaller, but I wouldn't have said 3 inches though.

I posted something similar on the Andre page:
I've been seeing the Shaq photo floating around celebheights (credit to whomever posted it first). I was actually just at Ripley's last weekend. Here is a photo of myself in sneakers next to the height ruler:
Click Here and myself barefoot next to the height ruler:
Click Here and here is Shaq next to the height ruler:
Click Here
My photos were taken around 11:30am. I believe barefoot I'm about 5'10.25" and in my sneakers somewhere around 5'11.5"-5'11.75" (I may appear a bit taller but it's because of my hair. If you look closely you can see the top of my scalp LOL)
I propose anyone here who is good at photoshop to use these pictures to help with debating Big Show's height. It looks like there's a 2" difference between Shaq and Show here, right?
Click Here anyone good at photoshop want to superimpose Big Show against the height ruler and match it up with photos with guys that are around 5'10"-6'?
I'd recommend using my barefoot photo (where I'm a little over 5'10") cuz I think it's a better angle.
I'm not good at photoshop so I don't know how feasible this is with camera angles and everything, but I figured it'd be worth a shot to ask.

It should be 100% obvious to anyone that Shaq is at least 2" taller than Big Show. If you can't see that, you're delusional. Just look at them together at the ESPYs. Enough bs excuses. It's beyond obvious that Shaq is at least 2" taller and maybe closer to 3.

The same question could be asked of you. The high camera angle in your pic favors Shaq. Why do you keep avoiding the full body screen shot where they are equidistant from the camera? Click Here Click Here
You can speculate all you want about footwear but they looked pretty close in height Click Here
**********************************************************************************
Why do you still post your BS comparison with slouching Shaq???????????
The camera angle in my pic doesn´t favour Shaq because Kane who should have the biggest advantage by YOUR theory, still comes out where he should be - so NO Cameraangle advantage to Shaq.
I´m closer to the their footwearheight than your biased 7ft Big Show/ 6´10" Andre wet fantasy
