I believe his heaviest was when he started to lose hair. Probably 550lb.
When he became bald he has once passed 530lb I think.

Jordan87,
Big Show is a strong 6'10", also in the NBA locker room Shaq was over an inch taller than 6'11.25" Garnett and both were barefoot.
Anything less than 7' for Shaq is BS.
Big Show is no shorter than 6'11''. Here he is with 5 ft Terri Runnels Click Here
Show has to be at least 7 ft with standard dress shoes, don't forget Terri is 5" stilettos. Big Show easily looks 2 ft taller

Shaq judging by the size of his feet and the type of footwear he normally wears, nearly always has footwear advantage over others.
With the same footwear as Show, the most we can argue is 1.25 inches difference. In the exact same footwear, the difference would be an inch.
The Big Show is still a strong 6'10 as compared to Shaq. Shaq has been downgraded to 7'0 in some NBA listings; probably 6'11.5, he ain't got much on Show.

I believe Show measures within an inch of Shaq in the latest picture, the difference only looks greater when they are on different planes. They had roughly the same differenc3 when in formals a few years back. Makes you wonder how well a young show and streamline Show would have stood next to Big Shaq.
I believe Khali edges the both of them.
Show 6'10.5-6'11
Shaq 6'11.5-7'0
Khali 7'0-7'0.5

Big Show was in cowboyboots during their first staredown next to Jericho, that´s the reason he looked only 1" shorter.
Big Show in wrestlingboots always looked around 2" under Shaq in BBshoes. I doubt Shaqs sneakers give him more height than Shows big heeled wrestlingboots.

I think 7'1 and 6'11 is good for them. Def no less than 2 inches apart but if you go back to their first meeting in 2009 or 2010 It was it looked 1-1.5 inches. Big Show has lost height since then it shows
I see no difference

Big Show was really tall back in the WCW days - I'd say 7'.05" barefoot. If there was a stare down between him and Shaq back in WCW (1996-1998), they would have probably been close to the same height. Nowadays, Shaq probably has 1.5 and 2 inches on Show. So current - Big Show: 6'10.5 - 6'11 range, Shaq: 7'0" - 7'.05" range.

7'0 range for shaq Is not impossible.
By the way I think as far back as 2000 big show was 6'11.5-6'11.75 range and today 6'10.5 solid.

At first glance Shaq can look 3 inches taller than Big Show. Not saying he is though. Most likely its a 2 inch difference. It looked more like 3 at first because of the camera and Big Show's posture. 7'1 and 6'11 Id give them each though 6'10.5 for Big Show isn't impossible

Imo Shaq loses height in the second staredown and the high camera angle makes the real gap look even less.
during the first staredown Shaq is visible straightening his back and gains clear height doing that, no less than 2inches taller than Big Show.
Show had pretty chunky soles on his boots, but I doubt there was much footwear difference.
Rob, what do you think about their footwear?

Given Shaq had footwear advantage the difference between them was closer to an inch. I only managed to have a brief look previously
Show looked tall, if you say Shaq is still close to 7'1, then Show isn't under 6'11 and likely a tad over when standing tall.

Shaq was measured 7´0.63" and 7´0.88" barefoot.
So 6´11" is pretty fair for Big Show today, 6´10.5" is my choice.
Big Show definitely lost height compared to his WCW time, at least an inch.
Rob, do you think their footwear gives the same height and is Shaq still peak in your book?

Here are some really good examples of how Big Show's posture can make him look so much shorter. Here is with bad posture with Strowman: Click Here and here is standing up straight: Click Here BIG difference
Here is Big Show at Wrestlemania with 7'1" Shaq at Wrestlemania Click Here and a shot of their footwear Click Here
Shaq is really hard to tell cuz of the design of his sneakers, but they appear to be basketball shoes. Probably equal to Show's footwear I'm guessing.
What do you think guys. 2" difference? 2.5" at most?
My best guess - Show 7' peak, 610.5" or 6'11" currently. Not sure which one. Show 7'0.5"-7'1" in boots and Shaq 7'3" in basketball sneakers.
Strowman - best guess is 6'7.5" barefoot and 6'10" in boots. He wears pretty big clunkers Click Here which would explain his close height to Kane Click Here Strowman wore flatter shoes when he first debuted Click Here

From last night's Wrestlemania. The first pic shows about a 2 inch difference. The second maybe 1 inch.
Big Show is holding his own pretty well against the Shaq. Between 2009 and 2016 he definately lost no height.

Shaq was wearing Reebok pumps his height of course fluctuated to 7'2'', while Big Show is probably 7 feet range. IMO Big Show didn't lose any height since his last stare down with Shaq which was probably 6 years back.

The picture with Big Show & Shaq when Shaq first entered the ring, it looked obvious that Shaq was taller but clearly Show's posture (as usual) was pretty bad. I really feel like if we had Big Show circa WCW in that ring facing off with Shaq, it would have been dead even.
In the later stand off when it was just the 2 of them in the ring, they looked a lot more even. I really think the shoes Shaq, like basketball shoes normally do, were giving him an advantage plus he had really nice posture. I personally know 2 guys, one is 6'6'' and the other 6'7'', who ran into Big Show and both said they felt he was a legit 7-foot dude.

@Ryan Hancock Braun Strowman has exceptionally good posture whereas Big Show tends to slouch quite a bit, shrinking his height down to the 6'8"-6'10" range; when Big Show straightens his back--usually when he needs to accentuate his height over another wrestler--he reaches his 6'11" height.

7ft4 seems impossible for big show.

Big Show's height is really 6'10 and 6'11 with lifts. Dwight Howard, DeMarcus(both 6'11-11 1/2) is a lil' bit taller than him. Andre the giant is as tall as Larry Bird (6'10-10 1/2) i've met him in 1989 before he died.

Big show is clearly standing at his tallest whereas as Kane is slouching forward making him look more 6'6.
I'd guess no more than 2.5 barefoot between big show and Kane today.

There is no way an 11" difference between them
That is 11 inches, if not even more, Big Show has a very large head even for his size. Common Alex 6'0'' there's no way Big Show lost 2'' yet he's only 44 years old. The lowest I'd give him is probably 6'11-6'11.5'' evening height and maybe as high as 7'0.5-7'1'' out of bed.

Rob I remember danimal posted a video of lex Luger and big show from 1997 and there looked 8.5 inches max between the 2.
Could you make an argument for 6'3.5 for Luger maybe? I think most agree that's it's unlikely big show was under 7ft peak.

Late 80's Lugar was coming down the aisle, and stiff armed my friend when he tried to pat him on the shoulder. Sent my friend flying over the folding chairs. My friend was around 6'6", and I was 6'3" maybe a tick more at the time. Lugar was a lot shorter than my friend, and I felt he was also slightly shorter than me ,but he was moving fast. I don't see a peak Lugar more than 6'3". Although he appears a little taller than Hacksaw Jim Duggan in video's, who I stood right behind in line at an airport and thought was about my height, Duggan probably had on boots to my shoes though.

I doubt that he ever hit the 7 foot mark barefoot. 6,11" and a bit.
Reason being is that he IS looking under 6.11" these days and I simply can't believe he has lost more than an inch.
And I did say barefoot. Obviously he hit 7" in shoes.

Remember that Big Show only reaches his full height in military posture, chest out, back straight (Khali/Shaq staredowns). Anything less than that and he'll look shorter.

Big Show has no big footwear disadvantage there, his sole looks even bigger than Strowmans sole.
Strowman may have an inside lift but in total I doubt he has more than 0.5-0.75" footwearadvantage.
Strowman should be 6´8.5" in his footwear and Show 6´11". No doubt Big Show would gain an inch standing straight so 7´0" in footwear is possible, 6´10.5"-6´11" without.

if Kevin Durant is 6'10.25'' than Big Show looks 7'0.5'', I think it's likelier that Big Show is minimum 6'11'' bare feet and Kevin Durant 6'9.25''

Here are the facts that we actually have:
In the photo with 6,8" billed Brian Shaw, Strowman (Adam Scherr) looked maybe 1/4 to 1/2 an inch shorter than Brian. Hard to say exactly, but Brian definitely looks to shade him.
Brian Shaw is photographed numerous times with Hafthor Bjornsson, in all photos looking 1/4 to 1/2 an inch shorter than him.
Rob has Bjornsson on this site and a picture of himself with Thor, and his deduction was 6,7.75" which looks about right.
So realistically Strowman is going to be hovering around 6,6.5" to 6,7"
Strowman looked well within 2 inches of Big Show in their staredown.
In Big Show's staredown with Shaq, he looked every bit of 6,11" assuming Shaq is 7,1" (of which there is plenty of photographic evidence, most prominently the photo of him next to the Robert Wadlow statue which has him bang on 7,1")
Strowman looked identical in height to Kane, and shades Undertaker slightly.
My personal opinion, Strowman is 6,7" on the dot the same as Kane. Taker is just a shade under both. Strowman is wearing lifts in his staredown with Big Show in WWE's attempt to make him appear a giant. How tall Show is today is impossible to say. I seriously doubt he has lost any height since he went toe to toe with Shaq.
That's my conclusion, draw your own. Tracing it back to the pic of Hafthor Bjornsson with Rob is the best evidence there is though.

In Big Show's staredown with Shaq, he looked every bit of 6,11" assuming Shaq is 7,1" (of which there is plenty of photographic evidence, most prominently the photo of him next to the Robert Wadlow statue which has him bang on 7,1")
Strowman looked identical in height to Kane, and shades Undertaker slightly.
My personal opinion, Strowman is 6,7" on the dot the same as Kane. Taker is just a shade under both. Strowman is wearing lifts in his staredown with Big Show in WWE's attempt to make him appear a giant. How tall Show is today is impossible to say. I seriously doubt he has lost any height since he went toe to toe with Shaq.
That's my conclusion, draw your own. Tracing it back to the pic of Hafthor Bjornsson with Rob is the best evidence there is though.

alex- strowman had posture and footware advantage over big show in there staredown I think.
There is a pic of strowman with now 6'6-6'6.5 undertaker where he does not look over 6'7 and that's with his big wrestling boots and brilliant posture

That guy with Big Show is a legit 6'6 guy? Big Show is slightly closer to camera and looks 6 inches taller. Would prob be really more like 5 inches difference if both level from camera.

Matt Morgan next to Big Show looks to be about 6'8"-6'9", in the photos displayede by mrtguy.
As for Strowman. Check out the Kane Height page. I compiled some pictures of Strowman that definitely show he is at 6'7.5" at the lowest. Maybe 6'8" at peak.

James B, from his debut in 95 til around 2000-2002 he looked a solid 7'0 guy. Slowly looked to shrink as time went on. He surely doesn't look over 6'11 today and could argue that he's more in the 6'10-6'10.5 range

So you guys have Big Show at 6'11 and Strowman at 6'7? Possibly as much as 4 inches difference between the 2 men? Def not in their faceoffs. Looks no more than 2

7ft on the nose in the 90s for sure but I think by 2000 was probably starting too creep under it like 6'11.75.

Big Show has no big footwear disadvantage there, his sole looks even bigger than Strowmans sole.
Strowman may have an inside lift but in total I doubt he has more than 0.5-0.75" footwearadvantage.
Strowman should be 6´8.5" in his footwear and Show 6´11". No doubt Big Show would gain an inch standing straight so 7´0" in footwear is possible, 6´10.5"-6´11" without.

if Kevin Durant is 6'10.25'' than Big Show looks 7'0.5'', I think it's likelier that Big Show is minimum 6'11'' bare feet and Kevin Durant 6'9.25''

Those photos of Show with Matt Morgan are interesting. In the side-on photos where he is slouched he looks barely 6,10", but in the shots where they are facing the camera with Jones and Lesnar and Show is standing straight, you could believe 7 foot.
While bearing in mind those pics are from 2003, you could see Show getting maybe another 1.5" on Strowman if he stood up properly.
Perhaps WWE is on a mission to make Strowman seem more impressive. Who knows...

I don't know really, after looking at the staredown with Strowman there doesn't seem to be more than 2 inches between the two... Angle was perfectly fine it was just that Show wasn't that much taller, yes at first I thought Steowman looked the same height or taller but then from the side view I paused it and top of Show's head is still 1.5 - 2inches higher, which begs the question again, it doesn't add up its either Show isn't even 6'11 anymore and more close to the 6'9 range or Strowman's close to 6'10???
Maybe today Show is 6'9.5 and Strowman 6'7.5 with Kane shrinking slightly and down to 6'7 flat with taker at 6'6.5
Always wondered why show looked so short compared to Shaq.
Big Show never looked short next to Shaq, they could have been around the same height, keep in mind look at the difference in weight, Big Show is heavier and Shaq looks slim. Big Show would need to fully stretch to look as tall as Shaq.

@Lars H. To be fair, Big Show's posture wasn't as bad as you're making it out to be. He probably has 2.5 inches, MAYBE 3 at best on Strowman.
Since Strowman doesn't look much over 6'7", it's generous to consider Big Show 6'10"+ at 43 years of age and 20 years in the wrestling business.

I found a zoomed in video of the stand off between Big Show and Strowman. At first when I watched it live, I thought Strowman was actually taller than Show and Show showed obvious terrible posture. But in this zoomed in screen shot, despite Show's really bad posture, he seems to still have 2-3 inches on Strowman.

The only disadvantage mark Henry had against big show was the fact he a lot shorter at 6'3.

Show was extremely fat at that time. So what if he was 550 lbs? I'd bank that he was stronger when he looked about 400-450 in 1999.
And Lesnar confirmed himself that the only guy in the locker room who he couldn't beat in an arm wrestle was Kane. In the interview he even mentions Show by name, and how he still managed to beat him despite Show having fingers like bananas.
Mark Henry is also certainly stronger than Show, as he formerly competed in strongman events at an elite level.

Show is of course bigger boned than Kane. Show is an acromegalic giant, Kane is just genetically big.
But yes Kane by all accounts was the strongest in the locker room in the late 90s-early 2000s. He trained like a monster, whereas Show didn't bother.
--------------------------
Big Show was huge in 2006, had to be at least 550 LBS, if not even more Click Here of course, Big Show is stronger than Kane naturally. There was probably no one in the locker room who could single handily take on Big Show, but there are exceptions like Mark Henry.
@James B, no others could beat Brock Lesnar if you ask me Mark Henry can and so can Big Show.

But nowadays he apear noticeably shorter. But his posture is very poor. A 6'10" or just over man wih hisbuild is a very, very large man. I have seen 6'10" and 7' people and can judge for myself. Saw big show to and his size is mind boggling. But like andre over billed. I doubt the even taller khali is much over 6'11". Very large nevertheless. Dont take the stuff so seriously man . These guys ate han and take alot of punnishment and age and often get njured which may hasten heightloss. Relax, live longer.

Saw big show to and his size is mind boggling. But like andre over billed. I doubt the even taller khali is much over 6'11". Very large nevertheless. Dont take the stuff so seriously man . These guys ate han and take alot of punnishment and age and often get njured which may hasten heightloss. Relax, live longer.

Big show in my opinion looks not over 6'10.5 there compared to Kane who is now no more than 6'7.
Take into account big show is probably in wrestling boots whereas Kane is in coperal clothing.
Clearly the camera is favoring kane making him appear taller. Big Show was always stronger than kane Click Here

Show is of course bigger boned than Kane. Show is an acromegalic giant, Kane is just genetically big.
But yes Kane by all accounts was the strongest in the locker room in the late 90s-early 2000s. He trained like a monster, whereas Show didn't bother.

So what did people make over this picture here? The guy next to him claims to be 6'11".
That pic was posted here in February this year, so you can still re-read what people thought of that pic. The other guy gives the taller impression (higher shoulders & eyelevel), but Big Show slightly edges him out.

If he claims 6'11 hes probably that tall. Usually very tall guys dont have to add inches like shorter guys do. Hes like a stick next to Big SHow though! lol

The Big Show has height issues he looks taller by atleast 2 inches when wearing boots and around 6'10 -6'11 without boots just the same height as Andre the Giant so that would make the Great Khali a bit taller than both of them

6'6 for big show is just absolutely ridiculous !! But i guess thats what height obsessed people do , downgrade everyones height to make themselves feel bigger and than say : haha nice one im 6'5 .. but in real life theyre 5'8
I don't think any serious poster has Big Show at 6'6". The discussion between Danimal & Red was about Big John Studd, not Big Show.

6´6"flat on a bad day
Don't think he was ever as low as 6'6" flat on any day or night. I think he was measured at 6'7" (his true height). Hogan was a 6'6" guy. It's possible that when they fought at night, they were 6'6" and change and 6'5" and a lot of change, which I think you will agree with me on.

No Logan, he's not 7'0" now. I know you think he is and want him to be, but he's not. When I was 15/16 years old (your age), I thought the same thing. I didn't understand that wrestlers lose height over the years due to the beatings their bodies take night in and night out and the surgeries they require, in order to keep wrestling. Also, he weighed over 500 pounds for many years and had terrible posture. He WAS once over 7'0" imo and today is nothing over a flat 6'11" imo.

Danimal, we've actually seen a Big Show of today face off with Shaq and Shaq edged him out a bit.
And Big Show had the footwear advantage on Shaq. Personally, I saw 2" height difference between the 2 of them. I don't think there would have been on in 1996. I think they would have been the same height back then. After all, Big Show had a peak Kevin Nash (who was 6'10") by close to, if not a full 3". No way would Big Show have that much height on a 6'10" man today as he did back then.

Yes I do remember the first few months he was referred to as 7'0 then they began saying he was 7'2 but there was one time they did say 7'1 on TV I remember that. When he first came at St Valentines Masacre 1999 they were like this man has gotta be over 7'0 tall!

The proof is that he was listed at 7'1" in basketball??? Nice try.
_____________________________
Yeah, he was also BILLED at 7' in 1999 by the WWF and looked shorter than 7'1" Ron Reis!. Magic Johnson was listed as 6'9" in the NBA. I guess you believe that to. Also, The Rock was listed at 6'5" in high school football and 6'4" by the Miami Hurricanes, yet I know for a fact you don't believe he is 6'4". Can you say HYPOCRITE? Then again you think Vince McMahon was 3" taller than Bret Hart, that Paul Wight has shrunk by around 3", and that HHH is 6'1"; so what should I expect?

It has been well established that Big Show had lost height by the time he faced Shaq. Stack him up next to Shaq in 1996 and you'll see they were approximately the same height.

Danimal, so we can agree that 2006 he was his heaviest? Yea 530-550lbs is what he looked in 06. Back in WCW at one point they billed him at 541lbs when he really wasn't even close to 500lbs. In 1999-2000 Big Show was a solid 420-430lbs. Those days are long gone now
I remember watching the WCW from 1994/1995 onwards and when Big Show made his first appearance, he looked huge, but lean and as the weeks turned into months and then years, he just gained more and more weight. Literally, every week, the announcers would bill him heavier and heavier, but even just before he left for the WWF (At the time) in 1999, he still looked over 7'0" to me (compared to a then 6'10" Kevin Nash). For years now, he has looked to have lost a couple of inches in height to me.

If that guy is really 6’7” barefoot, Wight still looks a little over 7’0” barefoot. He'd have to be 6'6" to get Wight below 7'0".

Danimal, so we can agree that 2006 he was his heaviest? Yea 530-550lbs is what he looked in 06. Back in WCW at one point they billed him at 541lbs when he really wasn't even close to 500lbs. In 1999-2000 Big Show was a solid 420-430lbs. Those days are long gone now

Big Show was never above 7' and is still at least 6'11". If anyone wants to believe anything else, where's the proof?

Danimal, yes Big Show in 2006 did get up to a legit 525lbs I had read before he took off for a while again. Since 2008 when he came back he still looks easily in the upper 400s. Big Show hasn't really been in good shape since 2000 right around WM 2000.
I read he got up to 550 pounds and when he came back he claimed he lost 109 pounds and was down to 441 pounds. He easily looked 550 pounds at his heaviest.
I see him somewhere between 6'10"-6'11" today. Peak, somewhere between 7'0"-7'1". He has lost height. It's been obvious for years now.

I am a fan of Big Show and yes I agree he can look more 6'10-6'11 sometimes but because he looks that doesn't mean hes def that height. I would peg him somewhere from 6'11 and 7'0 today. His peak closer to 7'1

@Ras. I always had Ryan as being around 6'4" or a weak 6'4".He's got height and usually wears flat boots.
Matt Bloom is probably 2" over bob sapp who has to be 6'3-4" himself.

Yes, Big show was probably 7'0.5" back in the 90's, he was also billed as 7'4 for some time. Nowadays I agree with Rika he could be more like 210cm, maybe as low as 6'10.5".
I agree. I would peg him somewhere between 6'10" and 6'11" these days. Peak height, he was between 7'0" and 7'1". 2" height loss for Big Show. If present day Big Show stood next to a 1990's Kevin Nash, he would barely edge him out. A peak Big Show had 3" on a PEAK Kevin Nash.

Others I saw who may not be what we thought they were:
I remember seeing Drew McIntyre standing slightly taller than Jack Swagger. Some people here trried to put Drew down as 6'3", I still think 6'4.5". I remember Jack Swagger being mentioned as being 6'4" on his 3rd match on ECW. He is suddenly listed as 6'6" afterwards and 6'7" now.
--------------------------------------
It's weird because I saw a match between Jack Swagger and Mason Ryan (I think it was aired on February 17). Ryan looked half to 3/4 of an inch taller than Swagger. Maybe he was using thick boots+lifts? Because I sure as hell don't think Ryan is over 6'4 while Swagger is more of a proper 6'5.

Rikashiku says on 13/Jun/12
Albert is always listed at 6'6" and has 3" on Tyson Tomko who was also listed at 6'6"... which didn't help their tag team.
-------------------------------
Matt Bloom IMO is about 6'4.75", he didn't look any taller than JBL and I've seen him wrestle with Jon Andersen-Reel AKA Jon Strongman who is about 6'1 tops and he didn't look over 4 inches taller (if that). Look up matches between Giant Bernard and Strongman on youtube, that hardly looks like a 4 inch difference.
As for Tyson Tomko I really don't know what to say, I always thought he was a legit 6'6, maybe even 6'7! But then this must mean AJ Styles is not 5'10 or 5'9.5" more like 5'7ish? Check out this video:
Click Here
If Tomko is 6'3-6'3.5 Styles is about 5'7-5'7.5, then again if Albert has 2.5 to 3 inches on Tomko as you say, and since I think Albert is no more than 6'4.75 (6'5 at best), then Tomko is more like 6'2ish and Styles is more like 5'6ish. BTW how tall did you think Christian looked in that video? I think 5'11.5"

@Gir, he was billed at 7'0" when he first debut. I thought it was 7'2" as well but I was corrected by another user here.
I'd say he was 7'0" aswell. Its hard to tell how tall Ron Reis was when he portrayed the Yeti. Did anyone look at his footware? He looked at least 2" on bigshow and I remember Bigshow saying he is 7'1" in 2005.
I didn't see The Yeti having had 2" on Big Show. The Yeti was in a mummy costume, so he had bandages wrapped around his head. There was no way of telling where the top of his head stopped. Ron Reis was legit somewhere between 7'1" and 7'2". Personally, I think Big Show was CLOSE to 7'1" in the 1990's, or at the very least 7'0.5". He towered over very big men in ways he hasn't been able to do since.

I know he was billed at commonly billed at 7'2" in the WWF in the early days. But, seem to recall some posters on this site also posting some early 7' listings for him in the WWF. Not that it matters because he has been billed at 7' for nearly 10 years now. There is no way in heck he shrank in his early 30s. Again, even with his big WCW boots, he was still shorter than 7'1" Ron Reis. If he has gotten shorter, it is by no more than half an inch or so.
---------------------------
Take into account taller people (guys 7ft or taller) tend to shrink more than shorter/average people. He was maybe 7ft but nowadays I think he's about 6'10.75"/210cm tall.

Interesting pic of Big Show and Dirk Nowitzki Click Here Dirk’s closer to the camera but could stand a little straighter.
Dirk usually gets listed at 7’0” now. Like many Europeans, he was not measured for the NBA draft. I’ve always had my doubts that he was a full 7’0” and instead was closer to 6’11”.
He does look pretty tall though next to Pau Gasol, who’s at least 7’0” Click Here Gasol is in flip-flops but the soles are not that small.
Chris Kaman (No. 12, to Dirk’s left with bald head) was measured at 6’11.5” for the NBA draft. Click Here Very tall team there but undoubtedly lacking in the athletic department.

The Big Show stacked up the same next to 7'1" Ron Reis in the mid-90s as he currently does next to the 7'1" Great Khali. He still dwarfs 6'4" Johnny "Ace". Plus, he was billed at 7'0" when he first arrived in the WWF in 1999. As for him being 500+ pounds; he claims 440lbs for himself and was only over 500lbs for a short amount of time. The majority of his career, he has been well under. The bottom line is, I am an open-minded guy; so if there is any proof of height loss for Paul Wight, just post it...danimal.
I'll just say that I think Big Show has been 6'11"-7' for him entire career.

Vegas has also posted a picture of a friend of his whith Kane and says the friend is ~5'6". The picture makes it look like Kane is ~6'4" if Vegas is correct on his estimation for his friend's height. Click Here
So either Vegas is off on his estimate for his friend or the estimate for Kane is off. I know this isn't Kanes thread, but I think it does perhaps give an indication Vegas's estimates may be off.
