@HeightcrazyRed6ft: they're in the ring in front of each other and shaq is only about 1.5" taller. I'd give Shaq 6'11.75'
------------------------
If Shaq is sub 7 foot then hakeem was no more than 6'9, Garnett is no more than 6'10, LeBron no more than 6'6
When he stands straight a ~6'5 barefoot measured guy comes up to shaqs mouth Click Here

This shows shaq at 7'2. Obviously can't see footwear but possible trainers. This could explain why big show looks surprisingly shorter?
_________________
Great find. So Shaq is about 7'2" in what we can assume are sneakers. That would put him at about 7'1" barefoot or maybe a tad under. Shaq needs an upgrade to 7'1" in my opinion and Show should stay right were he is at 6'10.5".

Rob, how tall would you say Big Show is based on this pic?? Click Here
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would say that Piers height is probably between 5-11" to 5-11.5". Piers seems like he could stand up a little straighter. So, Big Show probably has actually has around 11" on Piers. So, to me the Big Show is looking around 6' 10.5" in that photo.
_____________
Not to mention the size of Show's boots. Show looks about 1' taller, but I'm sure he had a sizable footwear advantage.

Piers Morgan and Donald Trump standing directly beside of each other. And there does not appear to be any tilt in that photo.
Click Here
In that photo Donald Trump looks to be at least an inch taller than Piers. Actually, to me Trump looks to be about 1.5" taller than Piers.
Even when Trump is standing further from the camera and the camera tilt favors Piers, Trump still comes out taller.

Most recent interview where Kane keeps saying he was 6'8 in high school. He may have grown even taller out of high school which is very common or stayed that height. Either way he hasn't shrunk that much and it's clear he's at least 6'7 now bc with comfortable poster he's taller than pen Jillette who said Kane was taller. Pen says he's 6'7 himself.

If you look at Big Cass basketball web at NYU he is listed at 6-8 most likely measured with shoes on. Ron Reis was listed at 7-1 at Santa Clara Univ same as high school since his sophomore I doubt he grew more after college and he said he was taller then the big show whom I guess he was around 6-11 because he stated he was known to were lifts. Kevin Nash stated I think on Leno he was 6-9

No way is Kane above 6'6.5" barefoot. I'd say he is about 6'6.5" barefoot and is about 6'8" in his big heels. Perhaps he was 6'7" when he was younger.

Okay, you people can just stop this nonsense. There is no need to speculate. The facts are that Show is and always has been right around 7 feet tall. Shaq is around 7'1.5". Big Cass is 6'11" or close to it. Kane and Kevin Nash are both around 6'10" and Undertaker is 6'9". Rob doesn't know what he's talking about and neither do any of you others trying to undersize everyone. I tell you the facts.

Big Show in 2006 was huge - he was nothing less than 530 lbs, probably more like 550+ You only have to look at the Lashley match to see how much larger he was, his legs and arms were huge and he had a big belly on him. Although he was out of shape he really looked like a giant and dwarfed Lashley

dicksock said on 13/Aug/16 I like you Danimal, but exactly how long was Show over 500lbs? I would say from 2005-2006. For most of his career, he has been between about 350lbs-440lbs. Additionally, I am not familiar with any back, neck, or hip surgeries he has had. My guess would be that he was nearly 7' (maybe 6'11.5") and wore platform boots that made him about 7'1" in his prime. Now he is probably about 6'10.5". I think this site underestimates Shaq's height. I think he is still around 7'1" legit and at least 7'0.5". He looks way too tall next to The Rock, Charles Barkley, and John Jones to just be 7'0".

Your right he's top weight he said was about 487lbs and that was for only a year or so, and the 7'1'' was in he's boots and the big trainners they wear .and this flat 7' for Shaq is rubbish the 7'08" is more the truth.if not everyone needs a downgrade you can't keep listing Hogan at 6'6'' and Andre at 7'.no way was Andre Shaq's height.

corrected the tilt using the wall behind Andre. Andre is clearly edging Wilt looking at the top of their heads, Wilts neck is straight while Andre for sure could stretch a bit out.
So all storys and faked comparisons about Wilt being taller than cowboybootet Andre are out of the window.
Andre standing straight was no less than 2,18m in cowboyboots, look at Arnie next to him....
So the minimum inf ootwear height there is
Wilt 2,17m
Andre 2,18m
Arnie 1,88m

To those playing a revisionist of history with Big Show's PEAK height, I need to intervene. He was indeed significantly taller in the mid-late 90's. He was at least 7'0.5", if not a full 7'1".
*************************************************
So the heightloss-fetishist needs to intervene...
It´s proved he wasn´t even full 7´1" in giant soled boots, so unless you talk about measuring straight out of bed, 7´0.5"-7´1" is fanboyhype garbage as they tried hard to make him look as tall as possible in WCW.
Nash was 6´9" evening, 6´10" in normal wrestlingboots, Big Show in giant soled boots had 2.5" on him.
Big Show was 6´11" peak and is 6´10" today.
Agreed same heightloss as Andre.
Hogan, Piper are heavier stories regarding their health, especially Piper who lost about 4" due to removed spineparts b/c of cancer

Does anybody see less than 11" between Rock and Shaq? I mean let's get serious. Shaq looks to have about a foot on the bare minimum 6'2" Rock. So what is going on? At the risk of sounding dumb, maybe Shaq grew. I just can't see the Rock as less than around 6'3" because he is still taller than Roman Reins. Yet, can anyone dispute the fact that Shaq looks around 1' taller than him?
Rob, I would love to read your thoughts on the Shaq/Barkley/Rock picture I posted. Surely it contradicts the listings on your site by far.

To those playing a revisionist of history with Big Show's PEAK height, I need to intervene. He was indeed significantly taller in the mid-late 90's. He was at least 7'0.5", if not a full 7'1". Carrying around over 500 pounds for years and years and taking major bumps, plus having height reducing surgeries (back, neck, hip) have all chopped away at his height over time (same thing happened to Hogan, Roddy Piper, Billy Graham, The Undertaker, Andre the Giant and many others). Today he's floating around that 6'10" mark imo. In other words, he's followed in the footsteps of his hero (Andre the Giant).

Rob, how can Big Show go from looking 7'1'' in his prime to this listed height?? I'd appreciate if you answer this
**********************************************************************************************************************************
Why not watch all the evidence posted here during the last week.
He was not 7´1" legit, not even 7´1" in his big soled boots.
Big soled boots proved. fact
having 6" on 6´5"-6´5.75" John Tenta. Big Show with Big boots so 5-5.25" barefoot. fact
having 4.5-5 on 6´6-6´6.5" Haystacks without his giant footwearadvantage. fact
Looked barefoot ~ 6´11" with Akebono who was meaured 6´8 1/3" as a young sumo - wich for sure was early in the day
Compared to straight 1987 Andre
Click Here
So proof he was 7´1" prime without help of Big Big Boots if you want to argue that.
Imo he was a tad or two taller than 7ftpeak, measured within 1hour out of bed and 6´11"-6´11.25" evening.
Since I estimate based on Robs idea of claiming eveningheight, I would list him 6´11.25" peak.
I would classify him as a very weak 7footer, but rather a solid/strong 6´11" guy wich fits better if you see him next to solid 7 Footers.

Rob, how can Big Show go from looking 7'1'' in his prime to this listed height?? I'd appreciate if you answer this
_________
I'm not Rob, but I try to give you a reasonable answer. Big Show never really did look 7'1" to begin with. Even on his debut, he was shorter than the 7'1" listed Ron Reis (the Yeti). He may have been about 6'11.5" barefoot, but wore big heeled boots that were comparable to cowboy boots in terms of the boost they gave him. This, along with his lean physique and big hair, created the illusion he was taller than he was. Today, after decades of carrying around so much weight, he has lost about 1" of height. The evidence for this is his numerous recent encounters with ~7'0.5" Shaq where he looked 2"-3" shorter on a consistent basis. He may have been close to 7' in his prime but is now in the 6'10" range. His 7'1" listing in college was probably just his height in big basketball sneakers and possibly a roundup from that.

Just a note: Adam Scherr has been officially measured @ 6'7-1/2" barefoot before! Fact! Know the man personally ...have worked out with him & The Silverback Crew in The Charlotte-Mooresville, NC area ! Dude is also a legit 365-385 lbs !!! Depending on his training & diet! He was home on a break back around July 4th - 8th...saw him weigh in @ 377 lbs wearing only socks, shorts & tank top! Adam: 6'7.5"
Paul: 6'10.75 to 6'11"
Paul still looks 6'11" morning height to me.

Big Show with at least 4.5 inches over Strowman...
Click Here
Strowman wears solid 1.5' boots from what I've seen so no advantage to anybody in the footwear department. Show at 6'10.5 would equal a 6'6 flat Strowman and I can't buy him being that short.
****************************************
4.5" noway, you´re right wit the footwear, but putting Big Shows head at a tad more than 12" it´s a 3.25" gap at best. 6´10.5" Big Show = 6´7.25" Strowman
6´10.5" is pretty fair for Big Show as he looked 6´10"flat next to Shaq with both in dressshoes.

Big Show is closer to 6´10"flat than 6´10.5" evening today.
Imo 6´7.25" is a tad or two to high for Strowman, he looks more a weak 6´7"/ 6´6.75 outside the ring Click Here

Hmmm, another interesting down grade, but i do find this within the correct range for him, he would still wake up near 7 foot in the morning and would dip just below 6"11 at night time.

Here is Shaq with lose posture posing towards Big Show compared to Shaq standing with more straight back/neck.
Don´t come with excuses that Shaq gains height from position in the ring because Kane is further back than Shaq and comes out to Big Show how he should.
If Shaq has the claimed 1" advantage Kane would have 2" advantage being further back so stop with excuses.

Here the difference is less than 2 inches. Both men have good posture and Big Show’s footwear advantage is nowhere near as large as you make it out to be. Big Show still looks 6’11” there.
And that’s a full body shot, where we can see their posture and where the camera angle isn’t favouring either man. You can’t say the same thing for those red carpet videos.

why not talking about the high camera angle reducing the gap??? here is a head level shot with Big Show straight and clearly 2"+ Click Here
Here´s their footwear from the red carpet, both in derssshoes Click Here
both man standing straight and clearly 2.5" + , for sure you´re not talking about Show being closer to the camera,
but find excuses for Shaq on higher ground - lol
there´re a few different vids, they walk from one interview to the next and the gap is always 2.5"-3".
I pegged Big Shows footwear advantage in ring at 0.4"-0.5" wich he has and wich fits with the red carpet pic with both in equal footwear.
Fact1 Shaq in ring with 0.4-0.5" less footwear ~2.25" taller
Fact2 Shaq red carpet in equal footwear ~2.5-2.75" taller
Never read you defending Andre that much... The Andre Wilt - Big Show Shaq comparison must be a shock for you.

No, Khali is shorter, his head is lower and therefore closer to the camera wich gives Shaq a visual disadvantage, Shaq is clearly the taller man there if the camera goes higher.
Andre was 2,11m peak evening imo same as peak Big Show.
Khali 2,13-2,14m during his first WWE years, maybe taller as a young bodybuilder... Never had a full 6 inches on Taker more 5-5.5"
Shaq 2,15m doubt he lost height...

the truble with all this is you are showing most wrestlers in the Evening,and men of this height or weight are going to be at least 1 each shorter,than the morning,and the only good comparason on this page is the Haystacks Big show,and the Tenta Big Show,and all you can tell from that is Haystacks is taller than Tenta because he comes higher up the nose even with thiner shoes,
So unless you can find Tenta and Andre in the same upright stand off,it's all if's and buts.
I think Big Show peak was 7' morning 6'11'' evening,so he should be listed here as 6'11.5'', Andre was 6'11'' morning 6'10'' Evening,so should be listed as 6'10.5''. IMO

I'm not saying Show is in the 6'10" range for sure, but I will say there is at least 2" between him and Shaq. Anybody who thinks Shaq is 7'0" and Show is 6'11" is blind. Perhaps it's 7'1" and 6'11" respectively. But, you can't have it both ways.

Putting Big Show at a realistic 7ft flat in wrestlingboots shows his boots give easy 1.8".
Shaq comes out at 7´2.5" in 1.3"-1.4", even if Shaqs footwear gives him more, it doesn´t change anything for Big Show.
****If Shaq is really 7ft flat, he would be ~7´1.5" in this footwear,wich means Big Show would be 6´11" in 1.8" footwear/ 6´9.2" barefoot.*****
This has been pointed out to you before, but you have captured a staredown between Big Show & Shaq, where the high camera angle is favouring Shaq. Look at the alignment of their feet, Big Show is standing slightly closer to the camera, which in this case is a disadvantage.
Here’s a better shot, where the feet are aligned and both have good posture.
Click Here
Here the difference is less than 2 inches. Both men have good posture and Big Show’s footwear advantage is nowhere near as large as you make it out to be. Big Show still looks 6’11” there.
And that’s a full body shot, where we can see their posture and where the camera angle isn’t favouring either man. You can’t say the same thing for those red carpet videos.
There are several recent pictures of Big Show standing next to tall athletes. Big Show next to 6’11” listed basketball player Kevin Laue, or 6’10” listed basketball player Mychal Thompson. Or how about that pic of Big Show standing next to that 6’11” fan Connor Cronk. Big Show consistently looked 6’11” next to these guys, unless all of them are shorter than what they’re listed at or claim to be.
How much taller do you think Andre was than Big Show, considering you’re claiming a cowboy booted Andre was taller than Wilt, Wilt was taller than Shaq and Shaq was over an inch taller than a cowboy booted Big Show?
You recently claimed you thought both of them were ~6’11” prime, but comments like these leads me to believe you think Andre was around 2 inches taller.
And when did the WWE ever claim Big Show was nearly 7ft tall. Never once did I hear them claim this. I challenge you to post proof of this claim.

This has been pointed out to you before, but you have captured a staredown between Big Show & Shaq, where the high camera angle is favouring Shaq. Look at the alignment of their feet, Big Show is standing slightly closer to the camera, which in this case is a disadvantage.
Here’s a better shot, where the feet are aligned and both have good posture.
Click Here
Here the difference is less than 2 inches. Both men have good posture and Big Show’s footwear advantage is nowhere near as large as you make it out to be. Big Show still looks 6’11” there.
And that’s a full body shot, where we can see their posture and where the camera angle isn’t favouring either man. You can’t say the same thing for those red carpet videos.
There are several recent pictures of Big Show standing next to tall athletes. Big Show next to 6’11” listed basketball player Kevin Laue, or 6’10” listed basketball player Mychal Thompson. Or how about that pic of Big Show standing next to that 6’11” fan Connor Cronk. Big Show consistently looked 6’11” next to these guys, unless all of them are shorter than what they’re listed at or claim to be.
How much taller do you think Andre was than Big Show, considering you’re claiming a cowboy booted Andre was taller than Wilt, Wilt was taller than Shaq and Shaq was over an inch taller than a cowboy booted Big Show?
You recently claimed you thought both of them were ~6’11” prime, but comments like these leads me to believe you think Andre was around 2 inches taller.
And when did the WWE ever claim Big Show was nearly 7ft tall. Never once did I hear them claim this. I challenge you to post proof of this claim.

Andre's posture & back was at an all time worst at that point with Tenta. He's losing 2.5" in posture alone.

Outsideheight of the sole = at least insideheight for Big Show, Shaq´s shoes give a bit less because inside is usually lower than the outside design.

There weren’t any decent Big Show/Tenta staredowns. This is about as good as it’s going to get Click Here Same WCW event and same camera angle. Similar to this when they were probably in similar footwear Click Here

Nice comparison, peak Big Show has Tenta by 6 inches minus ~0.75" footwearadvantage. Tenta needs to be still 6´5.75" to make Big Show 6´11" flat barefoot

Andre in 1991 was around 5 inches taller than Big Boss Man Click Here and Tenta was around 2 inches taller than Big Boss Man so Andre was around 3 inches taller than Tenta at this point. Click Here

Andres posture is crap next to Bossman and Tenta, look at him next to Tenta - his chin is three inches lower than his shoulderheight, that´s an enormous slouch.
If Andre could achive Big Shows posture like in your Big Show Tenta comparison he would be easy 4-4.5" taller.

Paul Wight aka Big Show just spent the day/evening at The Miami Dolphins practice & scrimmage. Chris Perkins a beat reporter for the Dolphins & local Miami Media met him & took pics with him with several Dolphins Players...he just said The Big Show was 6'11" & 430 lbs..after seeing the pics of Big Show with dozens of Miami Dolphins players who have documented barefoot heights & accurate weights listed...I've gotta honestly say...Paul Wight looks like a legit 6'11" & 425-440 lbs...I agree tho on Shaq...he has 1.75" on Big Show in equal footwear. Big Show was in sneakers @ Dolphins Camp today.

Putting Big Show at a realistic 7ft flat in wrestlingboots shows his boots give easy 1.8".
Shaq comes out at 7´2.5" in 1.3"-1.4", even if Shaqs footwear gives him more, it doesn´t change anything for Big Show.
****If Shaq is really 7ft flat, he would be ~7´1.5" in this footwear,wich means Big Show would be 6´11" in 1.8" footwear/ 6´9.2" barefoot.*****
I think Shaq 7´0.75 and Big Show 6´10"-6´10.25" is there Barefoot height there.
That also fits with how tall Big Show looked next to Strowman and Kane who are both weak 6´7" barefoot.

I met Big Show in person and I high-fived him outside of his travel bus at a WWE event in Miami, FL. He is credibly between 6'11" and 7 feet. His college basketball profile listed him as 7'1", and it's possible that he lost 1 to 2 inches in height even before age 40, because of the stress that gravity exerts on a person who weighs over 400 pounds.

Show had bigger footwear in the second staredown but no way do you go from looking near identical a few years back to looking like... He hasn't lost much if any height in that short space of time...
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Big Show was in big cowboyboots facing Shaq the first time and Shaq stood relaxed lokking down in Big Shows eyes and was still 3cm taller.
Why not talking about Shaqs posture... The red carpet vid is the only one he really stretched out and stood straight for a long time.
At WM32 there was a brief moment he stretched out and gained a visible amount of height, having easy 2" on Big Show in his big soled boots.
And Khali was never a full 7´1" in WWE and looked a tad or two shorter than Shaq in their pic.
Khalis eyeline is at Shaqs nosetip.
The pic is even favouring Khali, look at the shoulderheight, Shaq is clearly the taller man.

I saw this guy in 2013 at the con I met Piper and can confirm he looks his 196cm claim - no mor though, do you see 20cm there? Click Here
Big Show at his peak was 7ft early morning and about 6´11" evening, with ~1.75" sole he fooled people in wcw for 7´+.
He was often announced in wwe at standing nearly 7 feet tall... They wouldn´t do that with a legit 7 Footer.
Why do Wrestler always look shorter if they meet or are compared to Basketballplayer...
Hogan never looked taller than Barkley next to mene gene, was towered by Shaq and even 6´6.5" Rodman had inches on him in wcw...
Andre edged Wilt in his cowboyboots, Wilt was taller than Shaq, Shaq was 3cm taller than cowboybooted Big Show....

Big Show/Giant’s heels look really big but if they are giving a 2” boost, Andre’s either well under 5’0” tall or his cowboy boots gave him more than 3 inches Click Here A 2” boost from a wrestling boot is enormous. Big Show’s WCW boots probably gave him close to a 1.5” boost and Haystacks’ around 0.75”, or up to a 0.75” difference.
Dicksock, it’s been many years since I saw that information on a website about Andre being estimated at 6’9”. I don’t recall which site it was but believe it also mentioned that Andre had a photo taken with players from the NY Knicks back in the 1970s and really did not look that tall.
Andre looks tall in that video with Gene and Earthquake since he has his head titled back, making the gap between his chin and the top of Gene’s head look large.

Well, if the reporter is stating Chuck is 6'5" and that Andre had about 5" on him, that is the equivalent of him saying Andre was about 6'10". It's the same as him saying Andre was about 70lbs heavier than the 230lb Wepner being the same as him saying he looked about 300lbs. Personally, I think Andre looked about 6'11"/6'11.5" and about 380-400lbs next to Wepner. As far as Chuck being over 6'5", that is unfounded. He has claimed 6'5" for himself and has always been listed as 6'5".

Andre looks about 6-6.5" taller and may have a footwear advantage.

But with claiming Andre was only 70lbs heavier than Chuck they lose all credibility (6´5"ers Hogan and Tiny Lister were around 300lbs at their heavyest), Andre was easy around 400lbs back then, give or take a bit.

Realistically, he looked as tall next to Mean Gene in 1991 during that Earthquake segment as he ever did.

Pause at 2:08 when Andre stands to his full height. Show me a time when he ever looked taller than that next to Gene. Someone do a ruler comparison with that shot from 2:08.

Charles Barkley is an exception because he looks at least 6'6" most if the time.

@Boss: JT really hasn't downgraded everyone here on this site. He put Charles Barkley taller than Rob has him when in reality Barkley's teammates say he's closer to 6'4 than 6'5". overall JT has been pretty balanced I must say relative to others I've seen post

So Red, now he's getting a 2+ inch boost from his boots??? Sure. Plus the height under the pivot point of the foot, not the back of the heel, is what determines the amount of boost. You already knew that though so why did you draw the line at the back of the heel - and draw the line too high and use screen caps when the shadow under the boot makes the heel look thicker…..
A 6'11" peak big show puts Andre at 6'9" tops. Could be, and maybe the sportswriters and b-ball players who met Andre back in the 1970s were correct when they pegged Andre at 6'9"…..
****************************************************
Usually a guilty men does judge others by his own standards.
Lol I´m not a Big Show, not a JT hater. But if it comes to Andre, things get difficult with your agenda.
So now Andre was 2" shorter than Big Show, because someone said someone said so....
Shaq is under 7´1" and more than 7ft and was easy an inch taller than Big Show in Cowboyboots during their very first face to face.
Andre and Paul were pretty close at their peak, between 6´11"-6´11.5" evening.
Big Show is now 44 and seems about an inch shorter than his peak, no more so.
Andre started to shrink in height between 35 and 40, still looked 6´10" during the early nineties, so how can the 6´9" peak storys be true?!!

Jt has downgraded every person on this site. All just to fit his Andre story which Noone here is buying. Red's or Captain's comparisons are much more accurate as JT alters all his comparisons to fit his argument. He met Big Show years ago and definitely wants to believe he was bigger than Andre. Big Show himself says he was an inch or 2 shorter than Andre.

Big Show had way more than 0.5-0.75" footwear advantage. At least 1.25", 1.5" might be closer.
Haystacks was in pretty low soled footwear wich gave 0.5" -max 0.65" height.
Big Show was 5.5" - max 6" taller than Haytacks, Old Haystacks was 6´6.75"-6´7"max in his thin soled boots. He looked just a tad or two taller than John Tenta.
So peak Big Show was 7´0.25- 7´1" in nearly Kane 1997 heeled boots. His boots gave around 1.75"-2" so he was a 6´11"guy peak.

Studd would be equal in height to old Haystacks since he has a tadmore footwar.
peak Andre and Big Show would be both solid 6´11" evening, WM 5 Andre was shrunken to ~6´10.25"-6´10.5"
Big Shows head may be up to Andres in length but not in overall headsize

Akebono supposedly measured 6'8-3/8" barefoot? That makes a 6'11-1/2" barefoot Paul Wight .
If Akebono was still that height after years of 500+lbs, not impossible he was 6´7.5"-6´8" even without heightloss if his measurement was a morning measurement.
In JT´s pic Akebono looks 1.75" taller than Haystacks but has a footwear advantage ~0.5" . Haystacks imo was 6´6" or a tad over back then, so Akebono comes out a weak 6´8"-6´7.5".
6´11" or a tad more is Big Shows peakheight, today he looks 6´10.5"max and solid 2"-2.5" shorter than 7´0.5"-7´0.75" Shaq.
If Big Show wears his Big Boots he can give the Illusion of being only 1.5" shorter than Shaq.

@CaptainBeastxxx As far as i can tell, Mountain may not be as tall as The Big Show. But he is 400 lbs of muscle, and Big Show is 450 lbs of fat with probably a bit of muscle in him. Which makes him faster than an average guy who is his weight, believe it or not. But he's not so athletic now as he used to be. Mountain could probably win against Big Show today, but beating The Big Show's past incarnation is currently unknown (when he was 7 feet tall and 500 lbs)

There’s no point posting a screen shot where the high camera angle favors Shaq. Click Here So Tatanka is really 6’9” and Kane 7’3”? Make Big Show a little farther from the camera and now they're about the same height. Click Here This was about as good as it got from that match. Click Here
___________
Tatanka and Kane look taller because they're in the background. Shaq and Show are actually lined up with each other so it makes the comparison much more valid. Just like how the difference between Kane and Tatanka is accurate because they're lined up with each other. Also, the low camera angle at the ESPYs showed the same difference between Shaq and Show. Again, there is no way you can honestly say that Shaq doesn't have at least 2" on Show. If Shaq is a legit 7'1", then it is POSSIBLE that Show could be 6'11", but if Shaq is really only 7', then come on. Is anyone going to look at them from Wrestlemania or the ESPYs and say there is only 1" between them? Come on now. That is like some kind of joke.

Rob, i think it's safe to say that The Big Show has shrunk to 6'10" nowadays (possibly underneath that mark, but not so sure). I cannot possibly see an inch difference between him and Shaq, if Shaq is really 7 feet tall. Here's another video showing the difference between the two men. Click Here
He maybe slouching, but there is no way he could be an inch shorter than him if he's standing up straight.

Maybe its because Im a Big Show mark... but I think he was a peak 7 ft guy (213 cm) and now is hovering at the 6'10'5-6'11 mark. Unbelievable athlete for his size and weight, and a lot of fans take him for granted. With all due respect to Andre, (even in his younger days), Big Show does a lot of things a man that size should never be able to do! A future Hall of Famer and arguably the greatest giant to ever step foot in a ring.

Here is probably the best quality shot of them together at WM.

Shaq has just about as much height on him there as he did at the ESPYs. There is no footwear advantage and really Shaq could be standing straighter. If Shaq is not even 7'1" legit, how can Show possibly 6'11"? If we were talking about Andre, you would be the first one to claim that Andre looks 6'9" next to Shaq. But, because it's Big Show, you are making all kinds of excuses. Even in their first encounter in 2009, Shaq had several inches on Show when Show wasn't in his super thick boots that he wore with his suit. Those were the equivalent of Andre's cowboy boots with Wilt. When the two had equal footwear later during Big Show's match, Shaq looked at least 2" taller. Show may have been close to 7' in his prime, but it has been made abundantly clear that he is in the 6'10" range now.

Does anyone know Ron Reis (Yeti in WCW) height?
He was billed 7´2", managed by Big John Studd who was around 6´6" back then he looked 6-6.5" taller, so he´s a strong 7 Footer.
To me he looked taller than Big Show in his big boots.

Click Here max 6´11" with 6´7"-6´7.5" Undertaker
Click Here about 3" taller than max 6´8" Akebono, both barefoot and the gap is less Click Here Click Here
Click Here Peak Show next to John Tenta, old Andre next to John Tenta, no doubt who the real overall giant is.
Click Here Old Haystacks was 6´6"-6´6.5" at this age, Big Show has him by 5.5" but has 1-1.5" more footwear. Click Here
Haystacks was already diagnosed with cancer there and was passing a giant torch to Paul, they did everything to make Big Show as tall as he could look.
The myth of 7´0" legit WCW Big Show is proven WRONG, when he came to WWE they had him at 7ft , later at near 7ft very often
- not a billing of a true 7 footer, a true 7footer wouldn´t be billed under 7´2"-3" as a main eventer

Great find, but Show is much closer to the camera, look at where Shows Eyes come up to Shaqs face,
thats at least 2.5 inches Shaq has on Show and Show is stretching out for the pic.
Rob, imo there´s no "ground effect", look at Shaqs son beside them, Shaqs height on Big Show is still shocking.

I don't see where people are getting that Big Show is 3" taller than Shaq.

Who has said that Big Show is 3" taller than Shaq? It's the other way around. If you watch the new video of them where Show challenges Shaq to a match, Shaq looks 3" or so taller throughout most of the video.

Big Show has his massive weight, consistent bad posture, and the angle working horrible for him in the Shaq video on the red carpet.
I honestly feel like Shaq was over 7'1'' that night. I assume his dress shoes have to be customized for his massive feat. Here is a picture of him with his 6'9'' son, who's hair was tied up that night as well, adding to his height. Shaq's posture is great and his heels look kinda big.

I don't see where people are getting that Big Show is 3" taller than Shaq. In 2009 when they faced it was roughly 1.5" then the other pic Big Show had horrendous posture while Shaq stood straight. My guess is if Big Show stood straight he's still around 210 cm (6'10.25-.5) Shaq is prob still 6'11.5-7' more like 6'11.75-.85.

Maybe bring down his actual height a bit would be fine

Peak Big Show wasn´t 7ft evening - no chance.
Only for morningheight.
He clearly looked 6´11" next to John Tenta and old Giant Haystacks. He never looked more than 4" taller than 6´7" Undertaker.
Today I give him no more than 209-210cm.

There's no way Big Show was under 7' back then in the WCW when he was around 400lbs ( or maybe 380ish ) ..
He looked absolutely huge and I remember him looking 3 inches taller than Nash..
Also remember him being billed 7'3 back then so there you have it if you substract the mandatory 2 inches exaggeration for big men in wrestling.
______________
He was billed as 7'4" in WCW bro... Even in WCW, he was shorter than 7'1" Ron Reis (The Yeti). His basketball listing was probably him in big sneakers. He may have been close to 7' in his prime, but he always wore thick heels to make him look taller. Right now, he is probably no more than 6'10". Shaq probably isn't even a legit 7'1", and he has at least 3" on Show. He may be closer to 6'11" out of bed.

Big show was probably measured with shoes on at 7ft1 in basketball.
No way was he 7'1 barefoot cause even shaq isn't that big

Rob, you MUST WATCH this video:

I am shocked. Big Show looks very short next to 7'1" MAX Shaq. Shaq may even be a little under 7'1", and he towers Show. It is officially time to downgrade Show to 6'10". I never thought I'd say that, but Rob you must admit that this video pretty much proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Show is under 6'11". Pause at the 19 second mark for probably the best comparison.

search on Youtube : "Big Show challenges Shaq to a match at WrestleMania" or Link : Click Here
I know the camera angle is not really good but Shaq is cleary taller than big show, also i don't think shaq wear basketball shoes with his suit,
Shaq is at least 214cm so a strong 7 footer barefoot and big Show probably a solid 209/210 cm barefoot, i think is fair to update his height to 214, 213 is a bit low for this basketball legend ;-)

I think he was 7'1 back then, and that's what he was billed in his basketball days.
Back then ---> Nash billed 7' --> 6'10'', Show billed up to 7'3 --> 7'1
I'm pretty sure he would still measure very close to 7' in the morning and standing tall ( which he never does ).
Also many seems to really under estimate the fact that the height of a 7' 500lbs man will be proportionally more impacted than a 6' 200lbs guy throughout the day...

He didn't always look a legit 7ft next to Kevin Nash
Remember Nash himself at his peak might have been in the 6'9-6'9.5 range so not really a legit 6'9.5.

It's hard to believe that Big Show was 6'11.75" peak. I always thought he was max 7'0.5" peak, or possibly 7'0.25". Nowadays he is 6'10.5" - 6'11".
It's hard to believe Big Show lost 2'' yet. I think he still holds the 6'11'' range, maybe 7ft depending on footwear

Big Show or Paul Wight was exactly an inch taller than Wilt Chamberlain in High School when he was around 6'11 ish, have you ever seen a comparison of them touching the rim. Big Show clearly looks taller. Just keep in mind that Big Show's large 12-13 inch head and wide frame can make him appear shorter than he is.

I've seen Big Show at the Rose Garden in Portland, OR. I believe he is 7' tall. I also met Dutch Savage several times, and having seen him in pictures with Andre The Giant, I know Andre was at least 7' 4" before his acromegaly(or however it's spelled) changed him.

Rob would you classify a peak big show as a 'mega giant' since he was roughly 4 inches over 6'8?

Editor Rob I think he is still in giant territory, a mega giant is much rarer, guys who could be Yao Ming territory.

Rob, do you think Big Show's chest is rather 80'' than 64''??

Editor Rob wwe gave him 64, I don't know if with weight gain he added a few more inches to take him to near 70!

Big show has an exceptionally large frame for a man. Something to do with his giantism maybe?
Guys like lesner or Mark Henry might not look as wide as big show cause there a lot shorter.
Lesnar does not compare to Big Show.Only Henry, can give the wider impression since it's much shorter.

When Big Show came to WWE in 1999, he was huge. There is a video out there somewhere with Big Show and the The Rock from 1999, and Vince McMahon is also in the segment. Rock back in 1999 was at least 6'3". Big Show had to be at least 7'0.5" and he had perfect posture. They both were out of gear and big show towered over the rock. Big Show has lost height over the years because of age, injuries and all the weight he has carried. I would have loved to see Shaq vs Big Show circa 1999, as opposed to 2016, back then they would have been near equal height.

BruceWayne on Big Show
Big Show was listed at 7'1" during his playing days at Wichita State University so probably during his prime, I believe he was at least 7 feet.
WCW billed him at 7'4". When he moved to the WWF (now WWE) they initially billed him at 7'2" and later on at 7 feet flat.
Today however, because of his posture and back issues plus the fact that he has ballooned to almost 500 pounds, he is probably a little over 6'10" (maybe 6'11 max on a good day).
I don't think he is shorter than Andre the Giant. Andre was billed at 7'4". However from available photos, it appears Andre was about 1-2 inches shorter than Wilt Chamberlain. that would put him around 6'11" and 7 feet in his prime. During the WrestleMania stare down with Hulk Hogan (6'4"), Andre appears to be only 4-5 inches taller than Hulkster (in their wrestling boots). This would put him around 6'9" and not anymore in his peak height (Similar to Big Show, Andre had bad posture, back and weight issues in his later years). At best Big Show and Andre are of the same height in their prime or Big show is slightly taller.
Disagree with the hogan 6'4. Hogan was between 6'5.5 and 6'6 at that point I. His career with by your logic would put Andre at 6'10 which I believe what he was fully standing at that time in his career. 6'4 for hogan is insane for his peak
Today however hogan whose body has been decimated is 6'3 at his very very best and more then often 6'2.

Hogan was nothing less than 6'5 when he had a staredown with Andre at wrestlemania.
Big show looked a weak 7ft compared to Kevin Nash he didn't even look 6'9 in his past matches with Sid.

I wouldn't really go under 6'11" if Chris is 6'1".
Out of interest Chris do you know your height to the closest cm? Are you 186-187cm or? Just to narrow down how tall he is.

I know Adam Scherr aka Braun Strowman personally...I've trained with him & The Silverback Crew from Charlotte-Mooresville, NC many times over the past 10 years. Adam has been measured barefoot @ 6'7.5" & 6'7.75" "barefoot"!... on multiple occasion & documented. And he's a legit 370 lbs!! He fluctuates anywhere from 345-385 over the past few years. But, you've got to take a good look at those wrestling boots too! Kane & Big Show's boot heels are 0.5" to 0.75" thicker than Adam's (Braun).

Editor Rob we shouldn't rule out the possibility someone could be above or even below a figure. Sometimes there is a consensus on pages which seems to be a figure is ok, while on others maybe the overall opinion might be the person is slightly below/above what the listing is.

It's certainly difficult to see being the big show being anywhere under 530 in that period as he was floating around 500 but then piled on weight and was absolutely huge towards the end of 2006
