Same WCW event. Click Here Click Here Click Here Hogan’s leaning against the ropes which is why the front ropes don’t match up. Ron Reis is easily 350 lbs. here. ~ 6’8” Karl Malone is probably around 250-260 lbs. and looked skinny in the ring with Hogan.
When in WCW, Big Show told Jay Leno that he was 7'3". He also said on some British show several years ago that he was 7'1" at age 18. He usually says just 7 feet now, which is all I believe he ever was.

He's 6'10 today. But he is still one massive human being. He could have very well been 7 feet peak. He looks shorter these days.

He HAS claimed that height on talk shows (late 1990's) FOR GODS SAKE!!!! ;)
____________
chris says he claimed 6'11 in the 1990s on talk show, JT says 7'3 and you say 7'1, well someone is wrong....... i remember when khali first appeared on conan in 2005 he claimed 7'2, when i asked john heidenreich his height 3 years ago he said 6'7 and said the same thing to another man a few minutes later, we know for sure big show claimed he was 7ft flat during an interview in ohio valley wrestling in november 2000, he also claimed 7ft on that german show in 2002-03 and on jimmy fallon said he was 84 inches
wight was shorter than ron reis in wcw (even reis said he was taller) and reis was no more than 7'1, in fact he doesn't even look that next to legit 6'2 louis theroux in that 1998 wrestling documentary, there is no way wight looked 8 inches taller than 6'5 billed roadblock in that staredown at world war 3 1996

i believe Big Show could lost 4cm a day from out from bed. but he is no further taller than 6ft9.5-6ft10 max. probably 6ft11.5-6ft11.75 out of bed , also in picture he could have pull down 2inch under 6ft10. 6ft10 is what i believe goes to him.

Chris says on 18/Aug/11 I have wrote this before..but Paul Wight was on The Jay Leno show either in 1998 or 1999 (during his WCW Nitro days). I watched the show and he said that he was 6'11 in his socks (those were his exact words)...I have been trying to find this appearance on youtube but it has not popped up yet and I regret not taping it.Those were the exact words of Kevin Nash when he was on Leno. When Big Show appeared on Leno, IIRC he said he was 7'3".

7'1 is very unlikely for his prime, as is a flat 6'11.
7'0 prime and maybe 6'11.5 today. He looks just as tall as he did in the 90's, he's just a lot heavier and rarely stands up tall unless with a man around his height. Anything under 6'11 today is a joke.

Paul played JC college basketball for Wichita State....and his Sophmore year was listed at 7'1" & 325lbs. But...everyone knows that college & NBA teams list height with sneakers on...and "NOT" barefoot!....
Not always true. Pao Gasol and Andrew Bynum are a legit 7'0" barefoot and get listed at that height. Kareem was listed at his true barefoot height (7'2"). Mark Eaton (7'4") was too, as was Larry Bird (6'9"), Barkley (6'6"), Manute Bol and Muresan (7'7"), and some others from that era.
BTW Wichita State is a NCAA division one b-ball school, not a junior college. Big Show did play a year of junior college before transferring to Wichita State. His height at Wichita State may have been in shoes.

Big Show was at least 7'1" because he was measured @ 7'1" barefoot by Northern Oaklahoma Junior College. He continued to grow till the day he has his tumor removed and that was when he achieved his peak height. He's had back and knee surgery and his spine has probably taken a lot of damage over the decades in wrestling. He's still 7'0" after a long night's sleep. He may be as short as 6'11 1/4" after a long day. He's still a LEGIT 7 footer and was WELL WELL over 7 feet tall in his prime.
Do you have proof of such a measurement? Or are you just saying so, because he was listed at that height in college.
Big Show himself stated in a 2010-2011 interview that he’s the same height today as he was in college. So according to the man himself he has not lost height, so goodbye to that excuse. Unless Paul Wight is a liar or you know more about Wight's height than he does himself.
When Big Show made his WWE debut in 1999 (age 27) he was billed at 7 feet tall. Considering they gave him the moniker “Largest Athlete in the World” I kinda doubt they would list the guy below his actual height. They certainly exaggerated his weight, as Paul Wight didn’t weigh 500 lbs at the time.
And when did Big Show have back and knee surgery?

chris z those links do not "prove" Big Show was a legit 7'0" (although I believe he probably was and was taller than a peak Andre), as b-ball player heights can include their height in shoes. A 7'0" reference at age 16 could mean he was around 6'11" barefoot although he would still have a few more years of growth. A few posters here several years ago claimed that Big Show was listed at 6'11" in college and played forward - they just made this up to support their own height estimates for him and others.

the thing about big show as well is that IF Kevin Nash is only 6'9 back in 98 there really only looked 2 inches between them.
Maybe Big Show was 6'11 all along and not 7ft?
No kid. Nash was 6'10". Big Show had between 2-3" on him in the WCW.

Big Show, yea some of his matches he l ost are better than the ones he won. The part of the DVD they could have def filled up more was after he had went to OVW and came back in 2001. From 01-05 they showed very little only showing a bit about him and Brock then went right to 06 when he was in ECW.

Big Show, I own the Big Show's DVD too. Good DVD though it only shows a bit from the early 2000s then it just skips to him in ECW in 2006. But in those pics you posted he was 18 when in the graduation picture. In the other ones 15-17 range yea. He was 7'0 when he was 18 he said and 6'8 at 15.
The documentary was pretty good, but I was somewhat disappointed about the matches they chose. Unfortunately they only choose to select matches in which Big Show won, and not too many of those are any good.

Big Show, I own the Big Show's DVD too. Good DVD though it only shows a bit from the early 2000s then it just skips to him in ECW in 2006. But in those pics you posted he was 18 when in the graduation picture. In the other ones 15-17 range yea. He was 7'0 when he was 18 he said and 6'8 at 15.

the thing about big show as well is that IF Kevin Nash is only 6'9 back in 98 there really only looked 2 inches between them.
Maybe Big Show was 6'11 all along and not 7ft?

Akebono is like 6'7.75, which makes Big Show 6'10 MAX as I have suspected for some time now.

Hi clay, the line is a little bit above his eyebrows. 1 or 2 inches maybe, so what. hes around 6ft 9. I wud like to see big show and john isner stand next to each other, i wud back john isner. Shaq i wud say is 6ft 11. i think he wud have the edge on dalip singh, dalip singh has a massive body due to bodybuilding and giantism but his height is around 6ft 10 barefoot. His wrestling boots and massive torso make him look bigger than he actually is. (height wise. WWe exagerrate the heights of the wrestlers bigtime, dont take any notice of what the commentators say, its all ****e. randy orton for example is around 6ft 2/3. More 6ft 2 in my opinion. all this 6ft 4 for this guy is aload of ****e. if u look at luther reigns who is definately 6ft 4 and look at orton, u will see a difference. or even mark jindrak who admits to being 6ft 5. Those guys are big. orton isnt big at all.

In the photos Big Show posted, the line is drawn at the Big Show's eyebrows, which Akebono comes up to. You're saying that's only a 1" difference.
My challenge: measure your head from your eyebrows to the very top. Guaranteed it's more than 1" =-)

Paul Wight aka big show looks 6ft 8/9 inches tall to me. I remember when he had a sumo match with akebono who is 6ft 8 barefoot and he looked it, akebono was almost as tall as him, paul wight only looked slightly taller, an inch if that. even the wwe commentator tazz said that akebono was almost as tall as big show. if big show was 7ft tall, the height gap between akebono and paul wight would of been pretty noticeable. i didnt notice a gap really at all. Paul wight was barefoot at the time. Other people will have there views, maybe a few people think am talking ****e but if u look at the youtube clip at wrestlemania between big show vs akebono. Hopefully u will see where am coming from. sorry to break big show fans hearts, but your monster hero is just like everyone else, hes just a large man like myself, not a giant.

NCL, in 1994 Nash was an easy 4 inches shorter than Kareem.
Click Here
Click Here
And there's little to argue about Kareem's height. He was measured at 7'1 5/8" at age 22. Listed at 7'1.5" til the age of 23 and at age 19 they listed him at 7'1 3/8". So he was around 7'1.5" in his prime.
That would put Nash around 6'9.5" and that's already pushing it. He mostly looks 6'9-6'9.5" in most of the pics/vids I've seen of him.
As for Tyler Mane. How tall do you think this guy is.

if mane had the footwear advantage it was minimal, he is wearing same boots as here and those are not more than an inch Click Here
Agreed, but I think Andre's shoes and Nash's shoes look similar - almost flat. If you watch the Nash/Mane match you can see when they start wrestling that his shoes are nearly flat. That would put Mane at 6'9" and Nash/Andre IMO 6'10.25" tops at the time
(My personal opinion is Nash is 6'10", at the very least at peak. I believe Andre was 6'10" when he passed on/during his match with Mane and about 7' at his peak)

2 meters is 6'7 exactly I think? Nash is easily 3 inches passed that line but in shoes and the lower angle can make him appear a bit taller than he is so he'd be at least 6'9 in shoes so 6'8 barefoot today perhaps? I stick with my 6'10 peak for Nash and he could have lost 2 inches of height.

The angle of that mug shot is how it should be (straight on at head level), like the one with Barkley Click Here (the pic on the right) and with Sean O'Hair Click Here The camera in the mug shot with Nash may be a little lower than it should be, although it may only look that way due to Nash tilting his head back to look taller.

Big SHow is legitimately 7 foot. He suffered from giantism when he was younger and was 6ft 8 in in 8th grade. For those of you that think he's like 6ft 8 or 6ft 9 you're dead wrong. He is without a doubt the biggest human being you will ever see if you happen to meet him and he is medically considered a giant.

I'll let everyone else handle the Big Show debate. But I've been seeing a lot of Orton 6'2" stuff lately. I have to kindly disagree with that. I think he's a solid 6'4" and probably taller in his chunky boots.

I don't have a photo, but I saw Orton from about 10 feet away after a wrestling event and he definitely looked 6'4" to me. My dad's 6'2", I have a 6'4" Uncle, a 6'5" uncle, and a good friend of mine is 6'1". That's what I used for reference.

this is from 1998 (while he was still in wcw) and he is described as 7ft flat and 420lb in this piece (he was being billed 7'4 and 500lb+ at the time by wcw) Click Here
I remember that! Paul's weight has always been a guess too - I think low 400s is more accurate for him in 1998 and his WCW years. In WWF Unscripted, a book published by WWF in 2003, the wrestlers talked out of Kayfabe and he claimed 450 then. I think he hit close to 500 before he took his sabbatical and came back to fight Mayweather, where then he was back down to the low 400s. I'd see he's low 400s now

I would say hes probably lost an inch in reality but can look like he's lost more due to his weight and posture.

Big Show looks just as tall next to Kane as he did in 1999. I guess Kane has lost 2" since then aswell, and Undertaker...and Triple H.... and everyone else.
A 6"10 Show would put Shaq and Khali under 7"0, both are legit 7"1 guys.
I'd bet a lot of money he'd still measure at least 6"11 under the tape.

Shaq appears to be the same height as Khali - my guess is they're both 7'1"
So w/ Show - I'd say he's still a good 6'11" if he stands fully straight, which he doesn't really do unless it's with a guy like Shaq or Khali.
And I believe at peak Show was easily a full 7'
This is not the first time, I exactly agree with you. I have peak Big Show at 7' and think, he has lost between 0.5" and 1" (certainly not more than that!). The difference between Shaq and him seems to be about 1.5" in my opinion.

If you think he's lost only .25" in over 16 years of wrestling professionally at his bodyweight, you really are blind. EVERYONE thinks the man looks shorter. He was over 7'0" in the WCW and has dipped below 6'11" in present day.
________
and yet out of his own mouth he recently said he was same height now as in college, fancy that, what height have the likes of mark henry and viscera lost and they have been wrestling just as long as wight and at huge bodyweights

Show is still 6"11.5 if he really arches his back out, he looked it with Shaq/Khali when he stood at his tallest, infact with Khali he looked 7"0. In the second segment with Shaq, Show never made the attempt to stand at his maximum, so for him to only look nearly 2 inches shorter still puts him above 6"11.
I honestly believe he was very close to 7"0 in his prime and has lost a little fraction (0.25") due to his weight, but nothing like 2 inches, thats absurd.

And Shaq was in the ring barefoot right? Shaq is all of 7'1 as we know, was probably at 7'2.5 that night in his dress shoes he had Show by 2 '' at most.

That's been brought up a lot here. Show did indeed have a big heel on his boots in the first segment. There was probably tops an 1" difference between the two at that point:

Click Here (if you pause between 3:51 and 3:52, you can see the heel)
But later in the night I think they had comparable footwear. Shaq had on a sneaker and shoe had on his wrestling boots but I dont think the heel on those were nearly as much as the ones he was wearing with the suit. There's closer to a 2" difference here I think:

He's somewhere between 6'10" and 6'11" today. Mid-late 90's he was between 7'0" and 7'1" imo.
When did you think he lost 2"-3"? Can't have been since 2006, since he has the same height advantage on Kane now as he did back then. He also doesn't look any shorter in person to Vegas in 2010 compared to 2001. His posture is definitely worse these days, but a potential ~3" height loss is a bit much IMO.

Here's an interview segment from OVW between Big Show & Dean Hill.
For what it's worth, Dean Hill is listed Click Here at 6'5". Don't know if they also exaggerate the heights of announcers, but he did look close to 6'5". He towered over Rob Conway (never knew he was that short) and was also several inches taller than Mark Henry. He also looked close to the same height as the Collector (Sylvest Terkay, who's listed at 6'6").

Here's a match from OVW 2000 in which at the end the Big Show appears to face Leviathan (better known as Batista). Batista is wearing some chunky boots, which had to boost his height to look close to that 6'7-6'8" billing he was getting in OVW.
When Big Show left the WWE in early August 2000 he also weighed around that 485 lbs. This is one month later and he probably hasn't lost any weight by then (which was the reason he was sent to OVW). Big Show looks heavier here than he does nowadays. Plus he had a lot more muscle mass back then.

When Big Show was weighed-in at 494 lbs on Smackdown in 2005 he was a lot fatter than he is nowadays. I don't think Big Show's weighs 485 lbs as the WWE is billing him at. He has gained some weight since he returned in early 2008 (he was weighed in at 441 lbs back then), so I'm guessing he's now somewhere in the 450-460 region.
Looks every bit 485 to me.

Has anyone seen RAW this passed Monday. There were some excellent staredowns between Vince and Donald Trump. Trump was at least an inch taller.

mamun: he's not the same mike. The guy mike in the picture above was only around for a short time. Why Rob still keeps that pic up is a mystery to me. We know nothing of the "mike" other than he claimed. I guess I could just simply send Rob any random pic under a different name and he'd just accept it and keep it on the site. That kills this site's credibility. Pics should only be accepted by known users, not just someone who shows up for a short time and then simply vanishes. For the record, that "mike" said he thought the Big Show was 6' 11.
Rob doesn't really care about the wrestler's pages. We're the ones that analyze this to death. Rob slapped on a height for each wrestler and that's where it stays. What I don't understand is that the wrestler's pages are probably the most popular pages behind Rob, Glenn, Height, Stallone, Arnold and Tom Cruise.
Mike stated he was 6'1 3/4". Rob NEVER changed it. Also, Vegas's friend is 6'4" and stood next to Big Show, yet Rob never put it up???
Rob, do wrestler's bore you?

kinggollum you thought Barry Windham was 6'2.5 and dustin rhodes aka goldust was 6'5?? those guys were the same height in wcw in the very early 1990s
When I met Barry Windham in 2005 he was hunched back and terrible posture, my friend said we were about the same height and I am 6'2.5. Maybe he just isn't as tall as he once was.

Andre looked taller compared to jake roberts than he did to hogan because hogan used to wear lifts in his boots. jesse ventura stated in a shoot interview that both john studd and hogan wore lifts because they had complexes about trying to be as big as Andre.
meh, ventura hates hogans and has said numerous things about him over the years, its like the bret hart/ric flair on-going feud, i believe nothing either man says about each other to be honest.
there is a 1978 video of hogan in wafer thin flip-flops and andre in cowboy boots and hogan measures up very well to andre (no more than 6-7 inches shorter) despite a big footwear disadvantage for hogan

hey big show, it's mike. if you go on the famous heights website. it says he was listed at 6 ft 11 back in university. it could be wrong like, but that's were i got the informaton from. same for dalip singh.
I know there are websites who report this, however it has never been proven. Yet it has been proven that Big Show was listed as 7'1" at Wichita State University. On top of that all newspaper articles at the time also refer to him as 7'1".
It happens many times that someone simply makes this stuff up and mentions it on an internet board. And without providing the slightest bit of proof this story takes a life of it's own afterwards.
For Dalip Singh it's the same thing. It has been proven that he was listed at 7'1 in bodybuilding. No one has ever been able to provide proof of this 6'11 1/2 listing.

No I would say Albert's boots give him 1.25 advantage but I was shocked how much taller A-train is. I belive Sapp is a good 6'4, and without boots on maybe A-train would still be 2.5 to 3 inches taller for a possible 6'6.

Sapp is 6'3".
I believe Sapp was measured at 6'4. For Antonio Inoki's sake he'd better be (who looks to be in excellent shape here, so I doubt he has lost much height).
Click Here
And it's funny that some posters here are claiming that Albert's boots must give Albert a 2" height boost. I guess Kane must be getting a 5" height boost from his as his boots look much more chunkier than Albert's (which look like standard wrestling boots to me).
I like Inoki's tie.

A-train is more like 3.5" taller than Sapp in that video. A-train has a HUGE advantage in his lift boots compared to barefoot sapp... at least 2" advantage right there. Which comes out at what I would think; 6'4.5" Sapp and 6'6" Albert (both barefoot heights).

his picture with me in the Naseer Ahmed page ! He claimed to be 7' 6.5 " !
But his room mate said he measured him at only 7' 4.5 " barefoot . Also I
heard from his friends that he took a picture with Alam Channa and Channa
almost had seven inches on him . He was very dissappointed with that picture
and never showed that picture to me or anyone . In the photo which he took
with Naseer , he had 1 inches footwear Advantage but Naseer still towered
over him by 5 inches . He was very angry for that photo too ! Even more
strange was the fact that he wasn't the tallest man in Dubai ! But he still
was a very nice guy and a good friend .

I doubt the Yeti was originally supposed to be Giant Gonzalez. The reason he had a high billing, was because Paul Wight was billed at 7' 4, and the Yeti appeared to be a couple inches taller than him, so obviously the Yeti's height had to be billed higher than 7' 4.
Kevin Nash was never taller than 6' 10. He himself has stated several times that he is 6' 10. I haven't once heard him say he is 6' 11. After Kevin Nash (at the time Diesel) left the WWF, I actually had a chance to talk to Shawn Michaels, and I actually flat out asked him how tall Kevin Nash his. He said Nash is 6' 10.5". I don't see why he'd lie, especially since he was billed at 7'.
Mamum: yes, I believe Randy Orton is legitimately 6' 4. He's taller than Batista, Hulk Hogan, and Edge. And he measures up to about the same area on the Big Show as Vegas' 6' 4" friend did. I don't you weren't impressed by his height, perhaps you have just grown numb to 7' people since you've seen plenty of them.

BTW the reasoning Yeti had such a tall billing was the fact that it was originally supposed to be Giant Gonzales as the Yeti not reis. Reis and show are both about 7'0.5 peak reis maybe 7'1.
Where did you get that information from? Giant Gonzalez retired from wrestling in 1994 and returned to Argentine, so I doubt they considered him to play the Yeti.

Whatever height Nash comes out to next to Kareem in 1994, we already know that Big Show had 3" on Nash in 1996, so, we can gauge from there as to how tall Big Show was at his peak, with Nash having been minimum 6'10" (some even state 6'11").

its from an nba/basketball award ceremony that nash attended, everyone in the video was in tuxedos
Thanks. I found out from which show it is. WWF ACTION ZONE December 4, 1994. The award show was called American Sportscaster Association Awards.
A guy I trade/buy a lot of wrestling dvd's with has this Action Zone episode in his collection, so let's see if I can trade with him.

Big Show: I am convinced that Ron Reis is legitimately taller than Wight ever was. I think he might even be taller than Khali.

Big Show is actually only 6'11", Kevin Nash and Big Show have only a two inch height difference.

Big Show: yes, it is from the WWE. I remember seeing it a while back too. My recollection of the video is basically the same as Vegas'.
Mamun: how do you explain how much taller Big Show is compared to Randy Orton, who is 6' 4, and they wore similar sized boots? How do you explain how much taller Big Show is compared to Vegas' 6' 4 friend, in street clothes, not even in wrestling attire?

the nash/kareem video was shown on wwf programming, around the end of 1994/start of 1995, i saw it twice on wwf superstars and again on raw i think
its from an nba/basketball award ceremony that nash attended, everyone in the video was in tuxedos

Btw, that Nash Kareem video, was that from WWE? Maybe I can track it down, if I know where to look.

Its more than possible that Show could be down to 6"11 today, any less is not possible. Big Show hasn't lost height through surgeries, but through posture problems caused by his weight.
Andre was 41 when he fought Hogan, and looked no more than a solid 6"10 at that point next to the 6"5.5 Hogan, Big Show is currently 37, just 4 years younger than Andre at that point and looks taller on TV in 2009 than Andre ever did in the 80's - when Andre was past his peak, which Big Show also is today.
Peak Big Show - 7"0.5
Current Big Show - 6"11.5 (Height loss 1 inch)
Peak Andre - 6"11.5/7"0
Past prime Andre - 6"10.5 (After surgeries)
(At death measured at 6"9.75)
Andre lost most of his height in the last 5-10 years of his career. Up until around 1980 he was at his peak of between 6"11 and 7"0.

My friend Big Show , I have seen that video you were talking about and in
that meeting between Nash and Kareem ! Nash was much closer to the
camera and Kareem was leaning big time
thats not what i remember (and i saw that video 3-4 times over a 2 week period back in early 95), kareem and nash were side by side and kareem wasn't leaning from what i remember, the video on wwe tv showed kareem talking to nash for about 2-3 seconds then cut away
in the david robinson and nash video, nash was closer to the camera for sure

I will now answer your questions my friends ! starting with Daniel_Sweden !
You have to remember that every time you talk about Andre's height , there
are two time frames ! One before 1976 to 1980 when Andre was still in his
prime and the other after 1983 when the whole world could see a different
Andre who is by now much slower and sloutching big time ! During Andre's
prime which was the 1976 era , I would say he was about 7' 0.5 " barefoot
and possibly 7' 1.5" out of bed . If you look at his youth pictures that
are Black & white you could see that this was no 6' 9" tall man . You could
easily see Andre was towering over everyone like a 7 footer would . Please
see the picture of him taken in Bagdad ( Iraq ) airport ! But Andre after
1983 was totally different . I would say and it is what everyone is saying
also that he was between 6'10" to 6' 11" in WM3 and before his death !
My friend Big Show , I have seen that video you were talking about and in
that meeting between Nash and Kareem ! Nash was much closer to the
camera and Kareem was leaning big time ! Inspite of that , Kareem still had
a good 5 inches on him ! Regarding way I would think about Paul White's was
less than 7 feet even when I was standing 5 rows of chairs away , well I base
my opinion from the great deal of time I spend with other tall people , like
my 6' 7" cousin ! Because I do spend great deal of time with him , if he were
to wear thick soled shoes and was standing 5 rows away , he wouldn't have
seemed that much less than Show . In other words , there is noway show would
tower over him if they were to meet !

This question is to MAMUN..
Who do yuo think was the tallest at their peak of Andre and Big Show...
I would say andre was at his peak in the range of 6'11-7'0 maybe 6'11.5 or even 7 feet barefoot at his peak in the morning...
or I'm wrong?

Andre wore some HUGE cowboy boots in the 70's and 80's to look taller. Look at the Wilt ones, he's getting an easy 2" out of those. To say the Big Show is the only one to wear big footwear is wrong.
Big Show hasn't worn big footwear since WCW days, and then they were only 0.5" bigger than other wrestlers boots.

Mamun were you impressed with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's height?
There must be a video segment between Kareem and Kevin Nash somewhere and people said that Kareem had Nash by 4 inches, which would mean he would not have been that much taller than Big Show.
How far were you away from the Big Show. 5 rows of chairs makes it sound like you were at least 7 or 8 feet away from him, which is hardly a good distance to gauge someone's height. I've stood 5 feet away from 6'4-6'5" people thinking they were the same height as me, but when they came closer the difference became much clearer.

Well my friend Kelso I will tell you this ; when my good friend RED did
an Andre the Giant comparison picture using Virgil as reference , I came
out to be a few inches below Andre's shoulder level . My friend RED is the
master of comparison photos and they are not biased at all unlike some posters
I come across Andre's site ! But when I stood quit close to Show ( I was only
5 rows of chairs away from him ) I quit didn't find my self being shorter
than his shoulder level . Infact Kane's shoulders and Show's shoulders seemed
almost the same level . The only thing that might give show the height
advantage would be his huge head . You can all see that in that recent photo
Kane took with Big Show . And I will post them shoe pictures . Please don't
tell me that Show's shoe thickness and Andre's nearly zero soles are the same ! They are not and never will be ! I have very good experience with
7 footers ! Becuase when I used to Live in the United Arab Emirates , 7' tall
men were a very common among people who came from countries like Sudan,
Somal and some parts of Pakistan and Arab. Some of my friends were 7 footers too .
That's why Show didn't look like a seven footer to me because from that
same distance my friends would simply tower over him !
Anyhow I promise to do my best to get that piture with Big Show even if it
means me jumping on him and getting into a confrontation with him . That
way if you all see me in the News about a Crazy fan jumping on Big Show
and getting arrested in the process , you might get some idea how tall
he is !

Here's a ECW Battle Royal from 2006. At the end (around the 7:10 mark) there's a staredown between Big Show and Big Guido. The camera angle is crap but Big Show is noticably taller. I've never watched the old ECW shows, so I can't verify how close Big Guido was to his 'billed' height of 6'9".
I was a HUGE fan and it was said that his LEGIT height was 6'6" if that helps at all.

Mamun: would you really be that impressed by Khali then? I mean, Khali's only got like 1.5" max on Show. How do you explain the pic of Show with Orton, Dibiase, and Cody, and he looks enormous compared to them, and we can see that their foot wear is all comparable? The fact that he completely dwarfs Orton says something since Orton is 6' 4.

And he was taller in his prime than a big show in his prime.

Mamun: despite how his boots look, they don't give him any significant height. Look at the photos Big Show (the user) posted of Big Show vs. Akebono barefoot and then in ring gear, his height is basically the same different in both pics. That clearly shows that those boots may look thick, but they don't give him any significant amount of height.
And I hate to break it to you, but Andre himself was probably only around 6' 10, as that is actually what he was billed at in Europe and someone has provided documentation on that before.

No doubt Show is around a solid 6-11 still...one has to keep in mind that posture with someone of his weight will be horrible...believe me I know how weight affects posture...this 6-9 stuff isn't plausible IMO...
Look, in the morning I awake and with enough sleep I stand just a shade under 6 feet, around 5-11.75. After being on my feet all day at work I shrink down to 5-10.5 at my lowest. Factor in bad posture to that 5-10.5 and I could probably pass for 5-9ish all hunched over, when really I'm a solid 5-11 guy. I know I'm rambling here but I hope my point is taken...

Big Show just gives off a 6'9ish impression because he is so massive and has horrible posture most of the time. Looking at him stare down Khali its obvious he is min. 6'11.

hmmmmm its all posture, and bigshow in the photo above is 6'10.75 compared to a near 6'2 mike, IV DONE THE COMPARISON 6 TIMES ALREADY.Im not doing it again unless someone says nick let me see.if show stood straight with mike he would be 10 inches taller, the top of the photo is 10 inches to mikes head, its all illusion. Also a 6'9 big show doesnt say much for khali. POSTURE, some people gain a lot of height by standing straight.
Me for example i measure my usual relaxed stance and im actually only 6'1 however when i stand straight as possible...6'2.5.

Guess what my friends . I was at the Monday night RAW held at the staples
centre in Loas Angeles on the 25 th May 2009 ! I was sitting really close
to the Ring , on Raw number 5 .
I have seen Big Show from that distance standing and I was standing too . He
was wearing very thick soled boots and from that distance I came to judge his
height as being no more than 6' 9" to a max 6' 10" barefoot ! Noway he looked
close to Kareem Abdul Jabbar's height of 7' 2" or even 7 ' . He looked closer
to my 6' 7" cousin's height barefoot .

I agree, if you put Show and reis w/o yeti gear, they would have been the same height. Also BIG SHOW how tall do you think a peak Wight was. I'm thinking 7'.5-7'1.
I'd say he was around 7 foot at his peak. He was listed 7'1 while playing basketball but I don't think he's that tall barefoot. WWE listed him at 7' in 1999 (which would be his peak) and I doubt they would list him as 'The largest athlete in the world' and than bill him below his actual height.
The tallest I would put Big Show at during his peak is 7'0.25" and the shortest 6'11.5".

Take away Reis's bandages from the top of his head and I think he would have virtually been the same height as Big Show at the time. If anything, Reiss was 7'1 1/4" and Big Show was 7'0.5". That would have been the absolute MAX difference in their respective heights at the time.
I agree, if you put Show and reis w/o yeti gear, they would have been the same height. Also BIG SHOW how tall do you think a peak Wight was. I'm thinking 7'.5-7'1.

I really don't think Wight wore lifts back in WCW. The soles of his shoes back then looked thinner than the ones he wears now. I think it has to do with having hair and he used to have great posture. Plus, I think WCW also went out of their way to make sure Wight never stood in the same ring as anyone who is even close to his height, other than Ron Reis.
But I remember after WCW dropped the whole Yeti angle, they never did let Reis be in the same ring as Wight ever again. And, I remember the commentators used to always make comments like, "This guy [Reis] is almost as tall as the Giant" or something they'd say, "This guy [Reis] is just about as tall as the Giant" and stuff like that. But even during that time, you could tell Reis was taller. And if Reis is 7' 1 or even 7' 2, then Wight was never 7' 1 in WCW because Reis looked like he was more than an inch taller than Wight.
They did the same to Kevin Nash. I remember once when the Outsiders attacked Ron Reis, Scott Hall attacked first while Nash was way off in the distance. When Hall got Reis down, that's when Nash conveniently started attacking too. This was because Nash was supposed to be the 2nd tallest guy in the company, when it reality he was the 3rd and Wight was the 2nd. Nash hanging off in the distance sort of reminds me of the Mayweather thing. Just about everyone suspected that one of Mayweather's body guards was taller than Wight, but of course, that body guard was the only person who was never "allowed" to approach Big Show. Probably because that bodyguard would have been taller than Wight which would make the entire fued look lame. It would have been better if that guy was never even allowed in the same right, but they made sure that guy stood on the other side of the right, and at the top left corner, so he was far from Big Show and he wasn't even in the same alignment. Making it impossible to get an accurate estimate on how the two measure up.
I don't think Big Show ever wore lifts in his career. Whenever he wore normal dressing shoes he didn't all of a sudden look much shorter than when he was in his wrestling gear. I think his match with Akebono at Wrestlemania 2005 shot down any rumours of Big Show wearing lifts, as the difference between them looked virtually the same as when they appeared together in the ring and Big Show was in his ring gear. Big Show wore big soles (I believe someone here ones provided proof that the soles were 1.25"), but that's not the same as lifts.
The reason they never put Reis and The Giant in the same ring might have something to do with The Giant being billed 2 inches taller, but then again he was billed at 6 inches taller than Nash and everyone could see that this wasn't the case.
Reis and The Giant did appear in the same ring together at the PPV World War 3, but they didn't stand side by side.
Comments like 'This guy is almost as tall as the Giant' weren't uncommon in WCW. They said the same thing about Wrath (Bryan Clark) and he was only 6'5".
When Nash and Hogan (not sure if Scott Hall was involved aswell) attacked Ron Reis, Ron Reis stood side by side next to Hogan, but I can't say that Reis appeared any taller next to Hogan than The Giant did.
There should also be a picture somewhere of Reis and Big John Studd and Reis also had a tag-team match with Tenta somewhere in 1996 on WCW Saturday Night.
I'd like to see how Reis measured up against those guys.

I agree on a little under 7'0 today I disagree on 7'1 back at his peak. 7'0.25-7'0.5 possibly I think mainly it was posture, hair, and lifts creating a taller illusion.

....Big Show was around 3-3.5 inches taller than Morgan. Morgan was virtually the same height as Nathan Jones (who was taller than The Undertaker).

Unfortunately, poor quality videos to date. Click Here Click Here Click Here I think Big Show had Morgan by closer to 4 inches though he may have had the footwear advantage.
There's also a pic on the net where Morgan stands next to 6'8 Akebono and Morgan looks several inches taller.
Click Here Akebono could be barefoot though or in his really thin-soled boots. Morgan could also be pulling an Andre and is on his tippy toes a bit.

"reis was ncaa listed at 7'1, same as paul wight and both around the same time"
They may have both been listed the same height in basketball, but Reis is still definitely the taller of the two. The height difference is obvious. Plus, let's not forget that Shaq is also listed at 7' 1, and Shaq proved to be as tall as Khali, and Khali is definitely taller than the Big Show.
Of course, it is possible that Show did lose some height. But honestly, he doesn't look any taller to me back in his WCW days. If he did lose height, then I can't really see it. I saw a segment of him and Nash once (I think it was back in 2002) and he still had his normal 3 inches over Nash. So if he did lose height, it had to have been after 2002.
And it was.

Again, someone with great logic. Don't foget 6' tall Macho Man. He DWARFED him. Also, Duggan was/is 6'3". And I always found it odd how much taller an old Andre looked next to Jake Roberts then he looked next to Hogan. Andre always looked 7" taller than Jake...or at least 6". My final estimates for Andre are as follows: 7'0"peak 6'11-6'11.5"after back surgery 6'10-6'10.5"at death

And I always found it odd how much taller an old Andre looked next to Jake Roberts then he looked next to Hogan. Andre always looked 7" taller than Jake...or at least 6". My final estimates for Andre are as follows: 7'0"peak 6'11-6'11.5"after back surgery 6'10-6'10.5"at death

it's that a legit 7-foot man is EXTREMELY rare to come by. I'm beginning to think that the WWF ever only had 3: Khali, Gonzalez and Silva
How about Ron Reis billed as (Big Ron Studd and Resse in Raven's flock)back in the wcw days. He was billed as 7'3 but he was taller than Big Show..Big Show or back then in WCW billed as the Giant at 7'4 and at most 552 pounds. Ron Reis was taller so could he be a legit 7 feet man?

"who ever you are topdweed. it's just my opinion, i could be wrong. i do like to watch wrestling, and as far as i'm concerned. paul wight is 6 ft 10 maybe 6 ft 11. that's what his university listed him at."
And whoever you are mike, it's been documented countless times now that Paul Wight was listed as 7' 1 at his University. Give us any documentation at all for your claim; others like Vegas and Big Show (the user) have given documented proof several times that Wight was listed as 7' 1.
As for Khali, he stood dead even with 7' 1 Shaq. I'm sorry, you're entitled to your opinion, just as many people are entitled to wrong opinions.

Big Show was listed at 7'1 at his University (Wichita State University).

As for the 6'11.5" listing of Singh. Never seen any evidence of that either. It's probably made up, just like the supposed 6'11" listing of Big Show.

Danimal: how tall was the Ultimate Warrior? I was watching their match at WM, and they looked the exact same height.

Hercules doesn't look as tall as 6'2 to me. Back in the day I wouldn't have questioned it but looking at older tapes I could have guessed 6'0 tops for him.
