Boss: in some of those pics, he certainly does look to be as tall as the Big Show. Thanks for providing the pics... this is how it should be done in the first place, not like Marble who simply throws a tantrum because someone disagrees with him.
By the way, does anyone remember Hercules Hernandez? I talk to his daughter sometimes, and she tells me that he was 6' 2. Is that even a possibility? I always thought he was more 5' 10. She has a lot of respect for her dad and might be holding on to kayfabe..

I heard Big Show was 530lbs leaving WWE in late 2006. Could have gained more weight after for all we know. Andre I read several times died at 530lbs. Andre did look his biggest at WM 6 so maybe he was around 550lbs and then lost weight by his death?

Danimal, maybe buts its tough to say whether he was 6'11 or 6'11.5 so I'll just say in the 6'11 range.

Big Show's wrestling boots.Click Here Look at the souls. If wrestlers are getting 1-1.25 inches from their boots on average how much would Big Show gain from these boots. Any Big Show Andre comparison in wrestling gear you would have to add an inch to Andre's height because of Big Show's footware advantage. Also Big Show has much better posture than Andre and this is also a factor when comparing the 2 giants.Click Here

I've seen Big Show on Conan 3 times. He stated 7'0 twice and 7'1 once.
Topdweeb, I do agree that Big Show is taller than Andre at Andre's peak but only by slightly though since I believe Andre was 6'11 at his peak.

"you guys forget that when big show fought haystacks, he was most likely wearing shoes that increased his height. he had giant soles already but who knwos what other footwear advantage he had inside his shoes, since they were billing him as 7'4" at the time"
Big Show was way too tall against Haystacks for it to be all attributed to lifts. Show was simply taller than Andre plain and simple. Andre doesn't look tall in any pics except for when he is either standing on something, or when he stood next to Wilt. And that's honestly all I can think of.

KingNick: Big Show might have been a legit 7' 1 in WCW. I remember once on TV, Lex Luger referred to the Giant as 7' 1, and he was of course billed as 7' 4 at that time. And I have heard that he claimed that he was 7' 1 on Leno while it WCW too. I think possibly with his massive weight gain, he might have lost an inch or so. Although it is possible that 7' 1 was in shoes and he was a legit 7' barefoot. Which to me is more believable since I think he is only around 6' 11.5" today.
Good points, very possible.

"Big Show has been on Conan SEVERAL times since 1998. His first appearance he stated... 7'3.5" and 7'4" with his hair... the 3rd time he stated he was almost 7'1" (that was when he came to the WWE)"
I can't find it on youtube, but I remember Big Show being on Jay Leno back when he was in WCW still. And he referred to himself as something like that.

Guess he never stops to think about how ridiculous he sounds when he keeps stating himself as shorter and shorter. Pretty much whatever wrestlers are billed at, they try to pass that off as their real height when questioned. WWE could start billing Big Show at 6' 5 and he'd probably just go on there and say, "Over 6' 5 is my height" or something like that.

Well for starters hogan was several inches taller when he faced a non peak Andre and Hogan a footware advantage on Andre whereas Hogan was shorter from surgery when he faced a prime Big Show and Big Show wears huge souls on his wrestling boots giving Show a footware advantage on Hogan. This would have to be taken in to consideration when comparing them to Hogan.
any proof of any of this
*hogan several inches taller in 1987 compared to 1995
*Hogan a footware advantage on Andre
*Hogan was shorter from surgery (what surgery??)
*Big Show wears huge souls on his wrestling boots giving Show a footware advantage on Hogan (this one is pure bullcrap, hogan wore 2 inch cowboy boots in the ring with big show in 1995, any footwear advantage was with hogan go watch their match at Halloween Havoc in 1995 and see who has the footwear advantage)
Yes there is lots of proof to support all thesse claims. Hogan had surgeries and lost height. Big show wore huge soulled boots. Hogan's in ring boots were alot thicker than Andre's. Don't just question things we already know and why don't you actually try to provide some evidence instead of being biased.

Big Show has been on Conan SEVERAL times since 1998. His first appearance he stated his weight at 505 pounds and 7'3.5" and 7'4" with his hair. His second time he stated he was 501 pounds, just like the jeans. the 3rd time he stated he was 420 or 430 pounds and almost 7'1" (that was when he came to the WWE)...
NEVER heard him state he was 6'11". If he did, the it's possible he DID drop almost 2".

"Well for starters hogan was several inches taller when he faced a non peak Andre"
Which is precisely why I said Big Show has more height on people who WERE Hogan's height, i.e. Hogan's prime height. So I had already taken his height loss into consideration. Also, as I have already pointed out, there is a match between the two from the 70's in Japan when Andre was still in decent shape. I had already taken a non-peak Andre into consideration.
Still, Andre does not seem like he was a legit 7'. I don't think Big Show is a legit 7' today, and I used to adamantly defend that he was.

Also besides Big Show's footware advantage, Show has much better posture than Andre and that would also make a big difference when comparing the two.

Well, let me rephrase, does anyone have any reason to believe that Big Show lost height?

In the majority of the pictures I see Andre in, he does't look like a 7-footer to me. Even when I seen him wrestler Hogan back in Japan, he just doesn't have the height over Hogan as the Big Show does on people who were around Hogan's height.

I do agree that Big Show did edge out Andre a bit at his peak but I think Andre was no less than 6'11 at his peak though. And Big Show may have always been 7'0.

On Conan O'Brien a few years ago he gave his height as 6-11 and said that he had recently dropped down to 480lbs from 550lbs.
That's the first time I'm hearing this. What year was this? It would have to be after his temporarily retirement in late 2006 when he was at his heaviest and before his come-back in February 2006 (as he was weighed-in a few weeks later at 441 lbs).
I'm asumimg mean't to type Febuary 2008, that was indeed when he went on Conan in the run up with Mayweather at wm24, dont seem to recall those quotes though MIKESOWELL. I do remember a spot he did with Richard Blackwood(UK presenter) in 2001 in which he gave 7'1'' and about(direct quote) 450lbs. Wish i could find it.

Ok, here we go. This is all from WWE UNSCRIPTED copyright 2003.
Since we've been talking about 'Taker's weight, here's some highlights:
P. 105 Undertaker: "When I hurt my pecs ... I was 350 pounds, heaviest I've ever been. I was training like an animal, with heavy weights, but Sara was feeding me so well I was enormous."
Not sure if he was 350 here but he looks well over 300 to me when he debuted as the biker: Click Here
Here's a reference to his height and weight from early in his career:
P. 39 Undertaker in reference to a guy speaking to him about becoming a wrestler: "You fill out a little bit at 6'8", you could go someplace."
Here's Undertaker talking about Mabel on P. 104 "I was wrestling Mabel, who was 6'8" and 450, 500 pounds, maybe more."
And here are some other wrestlers talking out of kayfabe:
P. 12-13 Big Show: "The summer after my sophomore year, I put on 40lbs of muscle and I walked in as a junior at 6'11" and 300 pounds."
P. 73 Big Show: "I'M SEVEN feet tall in my bare feet and I weigh 453 pounds ... At 12, I was 6'2", 220 pounds, at 14, I was 6'8", about 235."
P. 21 Edge: "I was 17 years old, 6'2" or 6'3", about 180 pounds."
P. 61 Nathan Jones: "I'm 6'10". I was always big for my age; I was always a foot taller than the rest of the kids."
P. 195 Stone Cold talking about Jake the Snake: "There was Jake "The Snake" Roberts, 6'4", 6'5", but an A frame ..."
These are all direct quotes.

Ok, here we go. This is all from WWE UNSCRIPTED copyright 2003.
Since we've been talking about 'Taker's weight, here's some highlights:
P. 105 Undertaker: "When I hurt my pecs ... I was 350 pounds, heaviest I've ever been. I was training like an animal, with heavy weights, but Sara was feeding me so well I was enormous."
Not sure if he was 350 here but he looks well over 300 to me when he debuted as the biker: Click Here
Here's a reference to his height and weight from early in his career:
P. 39 Undertaker in reference to a guy speaking to him about becoming a wrestler: "You fill out a little bit at 6'8", you could go someplace."
Here's Undertaker talking about Mabel on P. 104 "I was wrestling Mabel, who was 6'8" and 450, 500 pounds, maybe more."
And here are some other wrestlers talking out of kayfabe:
P. 12-13 Big Show: "The summer after my sophomore year, I put on 40lbs of muscle and I walked in as a junior at 6'11" and 300 pounds."
P. 73 Big Show: "I'M SEVEN feet tall in my bare feet and I weigh 453 pounds ... At 12, I was 6'2", 220 pounds, at 14, I was 6'8", about 235."
P. 21 Edge: "I was 17 years old, 6'2" or 6'3", about 180 pounds."
P. 61 Nathan Jones: "I'm 6'10". I was always big for my age; I was always a foot taller than the rest of the kids."
P. 195 Stone Cold talking about Jake the Snake: "There was Jake "The Snake" Roberts, 6'4", 6'5", but an A frame ..."

back in the WCW days i rembember in one match that he was build as 7'4 and 552 pounds..*lol* i think it was back in the nWo days 1998-1999..
two true giants and there real heights and weights according to me:)
Paul Wight peak: 7'0 465 pounds
Andre the Giant: 7'0 500 pounds
That's nice. Peak weight huh? What does that actually mean to you? Big Show was about 375 pounds in 1995 and by 2006-2007 he was around 550. Today he's 485.
Andre started out at 300 pounds and climbed up to 565 pounds at his heaviest...
You should specify what you mean by peak and realize that these men's weight has gone up and down. Andre wrestled for 29 years and so he wasn't always 500 pounds.

He's been gaining weight since his return. He'll be 600 pounds in a few years, mark my words.
Sad but true, alot of people predicted this after seeing his impressive new shape at wm24, in which he hardly broke a sweat, and then just about 14 months later he's sweating bucketloads within minuites(even seconds). IMO he's got 5 years max as a pro-wrestler(if he's smart). Any guy over 40 would struggle for stamina in any proffesional sport, and in Big Shows case it would be 5 fold.

What's there not to understand? WM 24 was over a year ago and he weighed 441 lbs. Currently, he weighs 485 lbs. So obviously he gained weight since WM 24. Seems pretty obvious and straight forward to me.

The camera angle is of Andre Haystacks is very similar to this Undertaker Big Show pic. As you can clearly see Undertaker looks around the same height as Big Show which as we know is just wrong.Click Here So what's the difference with Andre Haystacks there is none. The pics both have the low camera angle and one favours Undertaker and the other favours Haystacks and this is why they look taller in comparison than they actually are. Here is what Andre and Haystacks would have looked like and Andre's in wrestling gear so footware advantage to Haystcks.Click Here

Rob, are you serious? What exactly did the guy do that was just so offensive that you decided to cave and ban him? If people don't like his comments, they don't have to read them. It's called freedom of speech.

Sorry, but I have to say it. There is some serious favoritism on this site and long-timers like myself don't get the respect I deserve. I may not provide 100's of pics like some on here do, but the blatant ignoring of my requests is not cool.
Zack81, rodman was not listed at 6'6" in the NBA. He has been listed at 6'7" and 6'8". He describes himself as being 6'6", but the THEN 6'4.75" Hogan (late 80's) was more than 1" shorter than him.

topweed, Jason was a troll, but he was intelligent and he didn't have two different personalities (the arrogant aggressor/the helpless victim), the way Ola does. Ola has been a thorn in MANY people's side for a long time. It's not the fact that he lowers people's height and then raises them and then lowers them again, forgetting that he raised them only months before, but acts like her never did. It's his blatant lack of knowledge of the sport and of the wrestlers. I LOVE the sport of wrestling and always have. I have more respect for the wrestlers. When guys/girls like Ola just spew out claims in a close-minded and arrogant manner and laughs in the face of those who don't agree, I take offense. I don't think my claims are outlandish. I've been posting on here regularly for 4.5 years and there was only one other person who used to be as ignorant as Ola and that wasn't Jason, or Viper (who I had NOTHING against). The users name was Cyclops. Ola seems to be built out of the same kind as he was. I think I'll just ignore Ola from now on. I have nothing against anyone on here other than him and most on here respect me, as I do them.

Danimal: when you claim that Big Show looks 6" taller than a 6' 7" Haystacks back in WCW, and then you point out that he only looks 3" taller than 6' 7" Rodman, and attribute the difference being due to height loss, that does indeed imply that you are saying Big Show lost 3" of height. Since you're now saying Big Show has not lost so much as 3", then care to explain? Because if Big Show is 6' 11 like you say, then he should have 4" on Rodman.
Thing is, I can't explain it. I think Rodman is at least 6'7" and may even be closer to 6'8". No way is he only 6'6". I do believe that Big Show was between 7'0" and 7'1" in the WCW and is hovering around 6'11" today. He probably does have 4" on Rodman if both men stood straight.

My issue with the pic is that I think Haystacks has a bit of a camera advantage. Here's a match with Andre and Haystacks tag teaming together Click Here there's no distinct staredown though so it's hard to tell.
Kingnick the Haystacks in the video is Haystacks Calhoun, not Giant Haystacks. Andre would've been a lot taller than Calhoun because Calhoun was 'billed' at 6'4". Don't know if he really was that tall as I've not seen enough material on him to make an accurate judgment.
Wow sorry man I totally didn't realize they were different people. I just looked it up and you're right lol my bad.
JT, I forgot about that other pic with Rodman and that 6'10" guy. If that guy really is 6'10", then Rodman has got to be closer to 6'8". No way there's a 4 inch difference there: Click Here
And I don't doubt he towered over Vegas' 6'4" friend and I don't doubt he had 3"-4" on Akebono. My point is I think he may have lost height during his hiatus when he dropped the ECW title. I'm not solid on that though. It's hard to tell with his posture.

....How tall does everyone think Haystacks is? From his staredown with Big Show a while back, I'd say 6'7". Could he have been a 6'8" peak? I know he was billed 6'11".
That was still part of KingNick's message. I forgot to delete it and didn't realize this until after I saw my message appear on the board.
However my estimates on Haystacks are close to KingNick's. I think Haystacks was 6'7.5-6'8 peak (he looked it in a 1982 next to legit 6'4.5" Pat Roach). In 1996 he was probably a weak 6'7.

I can always post the barefoot pics of Big Show and Akebono, which are about the best evidence we have as to his height. We also have the pic of Big Show with Vegas's 6'4" friend....

Big Show wears CHUNKY shoes in the ring today (see pic 25!!) Click Here
I know in the past I've pointed this out and people have said they don't give much height but I seriously doubt that. They're as big, if not bigger, than Kane's boots (see pic 3) Click Here
I definitely think Big Show was a full 7' during his WCW days and very early WWE days. But could he be 6'10" now?
Here's a nice shot of Undertaker's current boots btw Click Here

How is it that Big Show looked to be 3" taller than 6'7" Rodman in 2007, yet seemed to be about 6" taller than 6'7" Haystacks in 1995? HEIGHT LOSS friends.

KingNick: That camera angle isn't that bad. To get an accurate idea of how two people compare, you don't need them to be PERFECTLY aligned. And no one shrinks 6" every time they are in mid-stride. LOL people would look pretty weird if they did that. BTW, Big Show had WAY more than 2 inches on Haystacks. This all supports my theory that Andre was never as tall as Big Show. I bet even the Big Show today who I think lost an inch since WCW, would be taller than a peak Andre. I remember when I was a kid and used to believe just about everything they threw at me in pro wrestling (I even thought their names were real, like I thought the Ultimate Warrior's real name was "the Ultimate Warrior). But the thing I never believed was Andre being 7' 4 even though I wanted to so bad. He couldn't even fool me as a kid at 8 that he was 7' 4 and I was pretty darn gullible.

KingNick, how much taller do u believe andre would been if he didnt bend his legs?
I'm really not sure, but I would think Andre had a minimum of 2" on him from that camera angle if he stood straight.
My issue with the pic is that I think Haystacks has a bit of a camera advantage. Here's a match with Andre and Haystacks tag teaming together Click Here there's no distinct staredown though so it's hard to tell.
That video makes me lean more towards a 3" difference tho. So my idea is this:
We've got plenty of great photoshop experts on here. Can someone straighten Andre out in the photo and see how tall he would be? And be honest, don't make him 6" taller.
How tall does everyone think Haystacks is? From his staredown with Big Show a while back, I'd say 6'7". Could he have been a 6'8" peak? I know he was billed 6'11".

Hogan at 6'5-6'5.5 in 1987 does put Andre at no more than 6'10 I agree on. That was no more than a 5 inch difference between the 2. I still find it funny how they wanted us to believe it was 9 inches! LOL

LOL people at this site are just insane if they think that slight stride of Andre is going to shrink him down that much. He is standing straight enough to tell that he isn't that much taller than Haystacks. And the camera angle isn't any worse off than any other picture. It seems that so many people here are so blind because they think Andre is a legend and his status must be protected at all costs.

Uhm because the picture is unclear and andre is nowhere near standing straight ? alot of comparisons are done of people who are already in the same picture together just to see if the picture isnt misleading .

My first wrestling show in 1991 i saw Andre come to the ring with davey boy smith and he wasn't as tall as i expected (i was 15 at the time and probably expected 7'5).. I remember him not seeming much taller if any then the undertaker... I can believe Andre as low as 6'9 when he passed away.. I think if you take all evidence into account then 7ft seems a good estimate for peak height...

Here is what Andre & Haystacks would have looked like. Ola you refer to a pic with a horrible camera angle and the fact that Andre is in mid stride with his knees bent during the pic you keep reffering to. Here is Andre & Haystacks with the same guy and Andre is in wrestling gear so any footware advantage would go to Haystacks.

Assuming Hogan was 6'5"-6'5.5" in 1987, Andre was tops 6'10" at that point. I can believe he was 6'9" when he died.

I have read measurements of him being between 6'9"-6'10" at his autopsy, but until there are LEGAL MEDICAL documents, it's all just heresy and speculation.
I do believe a peak Andre stood NO less than 6'11.5"-7'0.25" and later on in life went down to about 6'10.5"-6'11" and towards the very end may have dipped to a FLAT 6'10" or just under that, but no less.

Big Show is obese, and he has a hunched back and his height is now around 6'11" IMO. Standing toe to toe with The Great Khali on a number of occasions, with neither wearing lifts, its obvious there is a 1.5 inch height difference in favor of Khali.

Here's a tag-team match between Giant Baba & John Tenta vs. 2 Japanese Wrestlers. One of Tenta's first stints in Pro-Wrestling and he looks about a 100 lbs lighter than what he did 2 1/2 years later in the WWF.
Although there's not a perfect comparison between Baba & Tenta, you don't have to be an expert to see that Baba is clearly the taller of two. My guess is by around 2 inches.
I've Always heard that Baba was 6'8 and this vid proves it.

7ft now and 7ft 1 or a tad over when he was in his prime, I mean when he was with Taker, Test, Kane ect ect. in the 90s he looked every bit of 7ft 1 and I could belive 7ft 2 aswell and now a days next to Khali he looks the same height as Khali when he wants to, anything under 7ft is out of the question.

Yeah, OOFatman Big Show was amazing when he 1st came to WWE(F). Probably the strongest wrestler ever in those days. No way could Brock Lesnar do a massive delayed chokeslam to a guy the size of Test. It's a shame he put on so much weight and lost the muscle from that video he had.

And Rock doesn't look nothing over 6'3 there with Shaq. Shaq is a bit closer to the camera, could make up to an inch looking more but he'd still have Rock by at least 10 inches since his head has gotta be at least 10 inches long.

Has anyone seen this video on youtube? "Masked Kane and The Big Show backstage

There certainly doesn't appear to be more than an inch between them. What is up with that? Even in lifts, Glen Jacobs would be 6'10 at the most. This video certainly doesn't make Big Show look 7'. More like 6'11 at the most and thats assuming Kane was 6'10" in lifts! The staredown is strangly similar to that of Big John Studd and Bill Fralic. Also, anything above 375lbs for Show during that era is absurd. (and that is being generous)

I think that since he has been compared to Khali and when then started a rivalry Big Show has been using bigger boots which make him look more 7ft 2 than the old 7ft story, he must be atleast 6ft 11 barefoot and 7ft in casual footware.

Almost 7'0 can certainly mean as low as 6'11 flat but more likely its 6'11 and change. yet you'll have people saying 6'9-6'10 is close to 7'0. It may seem kinda true but 2-3 inches in height is a good difference.

That being said, Big Show DID have 3" on a LEGIT 6'10" Kevin Nash, who has also been described as having been as tall as 6'11".
Yeah, but that was in wrestling boots and Big Show did have a slight shoewear advantage over Nash. I'd say a 0.75" advantage, which would put Big Show at around 7'.

Do you have any reason to believe that their foot wear or the ground isn't level? No, so until otherwise proven, it'd be best to assume that all things are equal. So like I said, unless there is further photographic evidence suggesting otherwise, I peg Khali and Shaq at the exact same height.
So the nutritionist says Show is just shy of 7', and you say that you'd peg Khali as much as 1.5" taller than Big Show. So if Show is 6' 11.5, which is "nearly 7-foot", guess what, Khali is still 7' 1 then. So exactly what is your contention with what I said?
The fact that you see one half-body shot pic as superior evidence over 5 staredowns with Big Show and Khali that pretty much leave no room for debate other than any footwear advantage that Big Show might

There's a lot of weight being placed on a very ambiguous comment from the nutritionist. "Almost 7 feet" could very well be 6'11-3/4" or 6'11-15/16" for all we know. I don't see how people are getting a flat 6'11" or any other number out of that comment.

Topdweeb, I agree. Because Shaq is 7'1 barefoot and Khali was no taller than him. Exactly the same height I'd say. He is 1.5 inches max taller than Big Show and if Big Show is nearly 7'0 like 6'11.5 then it fits Khali at 7'1 or just under.

No one can, or should deny the fact Big Show was listed at 7'1" in college basketball. If he was measured in his shoes, he was never even a full 7'0", seeing his shoes would have been MINIMUM 1 1/4" and at most 2". So, if he would have been measured in his shoes, he would have been between 6'11"-6'11 3/4" barefoot. That being said, Big Show DID have 3" on a LEGIT 6'10" Kevin Nash, who has also been described as having been as tall as 6'11". SO, we have a situation where either Big Show was wearing some type of inner lift in the WCW, or he WAS a LEGIT 7'0.5"-7'1 1/4" who has since shrunk. I stand by the fact that he was once AROUND 7'1" BAREFOOT and has NOTICEABLY lost height and appears to be a guy who is close to 7'0", but most likely only 6'11" these days. I account this height loss to the fact that he put on more than 200 pounds in just a few years and he his poor posture (which only became poor when he started getting heavier) has done some serious damage to his height at a relatively young age (late 30's). Again, I can live with him having been as low as 7'0.5" at his tallest, but today I think he is floating around 6'11". He was just taller in the WCW and even when he first came to the WWF. He seems to be going down the same road as Andre the Giant, even though Big Show's disease was cured, where as Andre's just kept getting worse.. A 1995 Big Show would have been Khali's height, or at most .5" shorter than him.

I still maintain that Khali is 7' 1 even if Big Show is 6' 11. I've said many times that I only see an inch between the two, and sometimes not even that. But, Khali's 7' 1 status is pretty much cemented in stone for me because he is dead on with Shaq. And unless there are further pictures between the two that proves Khali is shorter than Shaq, I call him 7' 1. So, if Big Show is 6' 11, then I'm simply wrong in saying that Khali is only 1" taller than Show. Either that, or Show is actually so close to 7' that he's virtually indiscernible from 7' without actually measuring him.
So one picture of Khali & Shaq where we don't see their footwear or the ground level for that matter means more to you than about 5 staredowns between Big Show and Khali where we see close-ups from all angles possible, footwear of both men, ground level, wether or not someone has a camera advantage or not, etc?
Whatever height Big Show is, I'd say Khali is maybe 1 inch taller or at the most 1.5" if Big Show had a considerable footwear advantage. I'll take that evidence above one pic with Shaq anytime.
Big Show, is only around an inch and a half shorter than Khali and I still feel Show stands roughly 7 feet. Is he gaining weight again? I still say there have only been 2 7 foot giants in wrestling history Andre and Show, all others are just really tall bad wrestlers.

JT: I seriously doubt that the nutritionist did not weigh and measure Show himself. I worked with nutritionists, and even if a BMI wasn't going to be calculated, they always weighed and measured their patients to be able to accurately estimate what a healthy weight would be for the patient. Quite simply, if a nutritionist who worked with the Big Show says that he was just shy of 7-foot, then that is about as reliable of a source as you're going to get.
I've never seen a nutritionist simply ask their patients how tall they are and just take their word for it. It would be like simply asking the patient how much they weigh and take their word for it. It would be a very sloppy nutritionist who did that.
Therefore, I see the Big Show being minimum 6' 11, but could be literally a hair under 7' which for every day purposes, would make him simply 7'. Khali still remains at 7' 1.
JT: I seriously doubt that the nutritionist did not weigh and measure Show himself. I worked with nutritionists, and even if a BMI wasn't going to be calculated, they always weighed and measured their patients to be able to accurately estimate what a healthy weight would be for the patient.

That could just be the nutritionist's own estimate. I doubt Big Show actually told him he was under 7 feet. As we know by now, Big Show's height is deceiving given his posture and the size of his head. Big Show at only 310 lbs. would be considered obese per the BMI, so I doubt the nutritionist was concerned about any BMI number as the calculator really does not apply to an acromegalic giant with a huge frame or a muscular person. If he really is under 7 feet, I would not go below 6'11" for him.

''Nearly 7 feet'' has gotta mean 6'11.5-6'11.75 which leaves Khali at a solid 7'1.

Alex: Yeah, I changed my mind. I see how reason for a nutritionist to lie, especially since he probably has no reason to care how tall the Big Show is. I'm assuming as a nutritionist, that guy measured the Big Show and took his weight to get an accurate BMI. I don't know what he thinks "near 7 foot" is, for all we know it could be that Show is just a hair under it, or it could mean he is 6' 10 or something. But for now, I'll stick with 6' 11 for Show and Khali I would say could be as tall as 7' 1 still, but nothing more. I say that because he looks dead on with Shaq.

Actually Big Show was 420lbs in 1999 his year in WWE and was 430lbs in early 2000. Not saying Big Show has lost 108lbs but for someone Big Show's size to lose 108lbs it wont be as noticeable if someone a lot smaller lost that much weight. Hes so big losing 50lbs isn't that much and wont be that noticeable.
Topdweeb, yea could be 6'11 but I wouldn't go under that. 6'11-6'11 1/2 is possbile and if so then Khali is no more than 7'0 1/2 which he was referred to as by gerweck.com.

Ola, that's a pretty good point, if they are billing Big Show as the largest athlete in the world, it wouldn't make sense for him to be billed much lighter than he really was.
Him saying he lost 108 lbs doesn't mean jack crap. Wrestlers always stretch the truth or flat out lie. That's what the pro-wrestling business is all about. Show saying he lost 108 lbs, should be taken no more seriously than Hogan claiming he was once 6' 7.

Big Show came back at 441 pounds and claimed to have lost 108 pounds, which would have put him at 549 pounds before he left, which he DEFINITELY looked to be. Big Show has not been less than 420-430 pounds since his WCW days (A decade)...

Edge once said Big Show is 450 pounds on a light day, I think Big Show looks barely 400 lbs. he said he lost 108 lbs. by 2008 so he must be in the lower 400's. I bought that he weighed 399/400 lbs. before Wrestlemania 24

Now they are slowly billing Show's weight closer to 500lbs. I think he's def a legit 450lber. In late 2006 he was at least 525lbs I think.

Big Show,s posture is no where near as bad as Andre's was. I don't see Big Show being that much taller than he was in 1996, just alot skinnier then. Khali in that pic seems shorter than normal, I agree BShow poster but I think he has an inch on a peak show.

Show does look enormous in that video from December 2006. Easily 540 lbs at that time.
He does look heavier now than he did a year ago, but still nowhere what he was in late '06. I'd say around 460-470 these days.

It's clear as day that Big Show was much heavier in December 2006 than what he was when he faced Akebono.
Big Show weighed in at 493 lbs when he faced nowadays. Last week on RAW Michael Cole said Big Show weighed in at 485 lbs. He's still nowhere near his size from late 2006 (luckily for him). He was well over 500 lbs at the time and had to quit wrestling because of the health issues he was having at the time (which were mostly caused by his severe overweight).

I was looking at a bit of WM 22 in 2006 and Big Show was just as probably his heaviest in 2006 and honestly he could have been pushing 550lbs then.
Exactly, because when he came back he said he lost 109 pounds and was down to 441 pounds, so yeah, he weighed 550 pounds at his heaviest. I think all that weight KILLED his posture and knocked off a solid inch.
He was listed at 7'1" in college basketball and had 3" on listed 6'10" Kevin Nash. Maybe he was 7'1" in SHOES. No idea. Today doesn't seem to be over 6'11".

Big Show, I remember that too. Cole said Big Show was 7'1 just one time. Other than that he was billed at 7'0 and 7'2 off and on then by the end of 1999 he was billed at 7'2 from there on until late 2002 where he's been billed at 7'0 since. So you have every televised match Big Show was in? Must be a huge fan then. I am a big fan of him myself.

Big Show's peak was 7 feet. I don't think he was ever any taller than that because he was billed at 7 feet when he arrived in the WWE in 1999
Such forgetfulness ;)He was billed 7'2'' on his wwf arrival, and a few years back went down to 7'0''(bizarrly)
Not really. He was billed 7'0" at arrival. I have every televised Big Show match from 1999. Apart from one occasional 7'1 referral by Michael Cole he was being described as 7', 500lbs nearly every match. His billing was changed to 7'2" when he started fueding with the likes of Undertaker and Kane, which was a few months after he made his debut.
The point is that I think we all can agree on is that it's so weird how they downgraded his height. He could easily pass for 7'2", especially if Khali is billed 7'3". I know I've made this point before but I just don't get it.
On a side note, anyone see Raw last night? Show DOMINATED Cena and beat him CLEANLY in the ring, it was great!

Andre actual real height is the a great debate because there are pics , articles and such supporting both sides of the debate. We have posture and height loss issues with Andre how much height did he actually lose or how big was his head exactly(some will say 12 inches some will say 12.5 inches and maybe 13 inches) either side you pic that is a massive head. Anyway it's all in good fun and informative for us all. In light of the book you posted I've posted a link on the Andre page for The Rivalry and it does state that Wilt was measured in 1980 while lying down and the only other time he would let someone measure him was high school so I assume that's where he got 7'1 1/16. So in turn I don't beleive Andre looked 7' with Wilt 6'11.5 yes but not 7'. With the proper information I am willing to change my stance on things but not because of a certain comparison although they are very interesting.
Actually our estimates are close to the same. Big Show's peak was 7 feet. I don't think he was ever any taller than that because he was billed at 7 feet when he arrived in the WWE in 1999. I've read somewhere that he was also billed 7 feet in his first professional match ever (so that would be in early 1995), but have yet to see the wrestling mag that covered this match.
Andre I'd say was around 6'11 peak. Lot's of 6'10 2/3 listings of him in the 60's, plus he's referred to as 6'11 in 3 different Non-WWE sources.

The photbucket account is Goliath777 so get your facts straight. Second Big Show is only 6'11 ish nowadays and 7' for a absolute peak and will be 6'10ish in a couple years. Sounds an awful lot like Andre to me except for that the fact Big Show has and always has had better posture than Andre. Yes , he looks every bit of 6'11' with 6'7 Akebono since he was 6'8 peak and had a sumo career and weighed over 500 pounds for most of his adult life.
Unless you have proof that Akebono is 6'7", don't go claiming so just to downgrade Big Show. Akebono still looked every bit of his 6'8" against 6'6" Albert (1 year after his staredown with Big Show).
Whether it's Goliath777 or Nova's photobucket account is irrelevant. Both accounts give a very one-sided (read: biased) view on Andre's height.

Big Show with 6'5 but billed 6'6 to 6'7 Shad of Cryme Tyme. Also Show with Michaels. In both pics Show isn't looking near 7'. Click Here
When he's slouching or you can't see the full postures, of course you can try to make such a claim. Comes out a little different when he's standing straight. Click Here Click Here Michaels had some chunky boots on as well. Make sure to add these to your (Nova's) photobucket account.

This is an excellent site for WWE match results (I always use it when I'm trying to locate a match). By looking at 2009 thusfar a wrestler would now had to have wrestled 70 matches. By random checking a few names (the main-eventers as well as mid-carters to jobbers) no one comes even close to that amount. Most are around 25-35 matches so far.

What are people talking about...edge is way to much shorter than big show to make any fair comparisons, someone so much taller than other will never look his true height because he will be slouching or looking down...
The fact is that khali is AT LEAST same height as 7'1 shaq and big show is 1 inch shorter than khali and also big show is BAREFEET 4 inches taller than 6'8 measured akebono making him a legit 7 footer.
Big show will only look below 7' due to posture imo.

Difference is that bodybuilders don't take the beating tyhat wrestlers do, njor do any other competitors in sport. No-one in sport is competitive for more than 300 days a year. I would say the amount of steds a wrestler takes on avg) exceeds that of any other professional sports person.

I watched RAW tonight and can not help but notice that Edge and Big Show looked about the height difference as Andre and Hogan from WM3.
at mania 3 hogan came to andres eyebrows, so edge is the same height as dennis rodman who we saw had about 3 inches himself on hogan in wcw
edge is also basically as tall as akebono
Did you even watch Raw. Edge seemed as tall as Hogan did to Andre at WM3. Just watch and you will see that, if not your blind.

I guess its possible Big Show lost a bit of height, maybe an inch at most. If Big Show is 6'11 then Khali is closer to 7'0 than 7'1. And on Gerweck.com it was reported that Khali is a legit 7'0.5 which would put Big Show in the 6'11-6'11.5 range.

Lol!!!!!! I have over 40 dvd's of Andre, several rare Japanese magazines and dozens of other magazines. Yeah I guess that makes me an Andre hater. What does your Andre collection consists of?
Judging from the Andre board where you have never posted anything new regarding pics or vids, I think I know the answer to that question: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
You're so-called interest in Andre stops at Andre's size, which apparently has to be at least 7 feet in order for you to still be interested with him.
If you claim you're an Andre fan you're insulting every true Andre fan, the ones who don't just like him for his size but also for his abilities inside the ring.
Blah, blah, blah, blah!!!! Next time just write this Big Show and maybe your Bias want show as much. MAYBE!

Dicksock, the shorter you try to make Big Show, the shorter Andre ends up being. Andre never came close to having a head size on guys like Vince McMahon or Roddy Piper, whereas Big Show did.
That is nonsense and you know it. Andre pretty much had a full head on Piper and McMahon.

Big Show in dress shoes; Edge in tennis shoes (possibly Converse All-Stars) Click Here If so, that's still only a ~ 0.75" footwear advantage at most for Big Show.
Dicksock, the shorter you try to make Big Show, the shorter Andre ends up being. Andre never came close to having a head size on guys like Vince McMahon or Roddy Piper, whereas Big Show did.

I'm not surprised you once again ignore the evidence. Why not show the cap from 9:57? That would show a 7" difference. And it's pathetic how you try to say Edge has any kind of footware advantage. What about Big Show's giant boots? Show looks about 6'11. And that is assuming Edge is 6'4. I'll admit that I underestimated the length of the Big Show's head. I was off by about an inch. But, the Tenta pic you posted does show about 6" between them. I'll give Paul Wight 7' at THE ABSOLUTE MOST in his prime. Now, around 6'11.
I capped that part because it was one of the few parts where they had somewhat of a similar posture. I've added the entire match aswell so everyone can make their own judgment of what they think the height difference is. Plus I wasn't saying Edge had a footwear advantage. I just said Edge wears some chunky boots aswell so I doubt Big Show is having a shoewear advantage there.

another example of how big show hates Andre!!!!lol!!!!!
Lol!!!!!! I have over 40 dvd's of Andre, several rare Japanese magazines and dozens of other magazines. Yeah I guess that makes me an Andre hater. What does your Andre collection consists of?
Judging from the Andre board where you have never posted anything new regarding pics or vids, I think I know the answer to that question: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
You're so-called interest in Andre stops at Andre's size, which apparently has to be at least 7 feet in order for you to still be interested with him.
If you claim you're an Andre fan you're insulting every true Andre fan, the ones who don't just like him for his size but also for his abilities inside the ring.

Anyone see smackdown? Well, Big Show certainly didn't appear to have more than 6" on Edge. He must have forgotten his lifts or something. I used to think that Wight was about 7'1 peak and 7' now. But now a 6'11" peak sounds better. He only had 6'6" tenta by 6" AT THE MOST in WCW with those giant boots. And he may be as low as 6'10 now. Even with his big heels, he is not that much taller than 6'4" MAX Edge. The episode of Smackdown was from March 20 at the end of the show.

Here are a few videos of Big Show from 1996 where he's not wearing his giant boots but normal shoes. He must be wearing lifts in them too or else it sure as hell doesn't look good for Hogan, Piper and Nash. If Big Show was 6'11" peak he would need a 2" shoewear advantage over Nash, which I highly doubt.

IF he was only 6'11" PEAK, then Kevin Nash was only 6'7" PEAK, seeing Big Show had 3" on a PRIME Nash and Big Show's college must have inflated his height by 2", seeing he was listed at 7'1".
He's LOST HEIGHT over the years and it's obvious to my eyes. We was minimum 7'0" in the WCW and probably closer to 7'1". Today I believe he is struggling with 6'11". That tremendous weight has killed his posture (neck and back) and buckled his legs.

Edge wears sneakers to the ring these days with kickpads over the top, has done since about 2005.
They're no chunkier than John Cena's trainers or chunkier than a standard wrestling boot I would imagine.

Yeah that was terrible, about Test and only 33. Yes, Big Show Test was a great talent and was awesome in singles comp. I always thought when he had long hair he looked like a Nash clone. Andrew Test Martin was a great wrestler, he could've carried ECW to great heights as their Champion if WWE would have let him. Something, William Regal, Finlay and Christian also could do. Shame

Kane and Undertaker are still both referred to as ''a shade under 7 feet tall'' by the announcer, when even the little kids know that isnt the case because they see legit 7 foot giants like Show and Khali towering both of them.

Did any of you hear about the sad death of Test this past weekend. The guy was only 33 years old and is new addition to the list of wrestlers who passed away before their 50th birthday. It sucks, I always thought of Test to be a huge talent within the WWE in the late 90's and early 00's.

i would say
Silva 7ft 2
Khali 7ft 0.5 (7ft 2 in lifts)
Reis 7ft 1 (haha i can remember when he was claimed to be 7ft 8)
Big Show 7ft 1 (but I do think he was a solid 7ft 2 or 3 in the 90s upto 02.
Big Show was listed at 7'1" in College Basketball. He was NEVER taller than that height. MAYBE by 1/4", but that's it. I do believe he's lost height since the 1990's FOR SURE... When he reached around 550 pounds in 2006-2007, I think it definitely messed up his spine, knees and ankles, resulting in height lost. Remember, he came back a year later claiming to be down to 441 pounds and having lost 109 pounds, meaning he was high as 550 pounds, which he looked to be JUST BEFORE he left the WWE. That obesity and maybe some injuries resulted in height loss. I say he was right around that 7'1" mark at one point and has lost at least an inch, even though he is only in his late 30's.

Oh really??? I'm calling you out: provide a pic of where Andre looks 8" taller than Studd and both of their feet are on level ground.

I really don't know why WWE persist with billing Kane at 7'0". For years Jim Ross & Paul Heymanh described him as 6'10"-6'10.5" on commentary plus he looks about 3.5"-4" shorter than Big Show.
If I were WWE I'd bill Taker at 6'8" & Kane & 6'9".

Thats more like 6 inches between Big Show and Earthquake but I am unsure on Earthquakes height.
With Khali at 7'3 at least bill Big Show at 7'1 because it can sometimes look closer to 2 inches difference with angles but I never seen 3 inches difference even with camera angles making him look taller. Yet they still have Kane at 7'0 though sometimes say he's 6'10.

comparing those pictures it seems to me like show was one inch taller than andre maybe 1.5 but not more than that . And it doesnt really work to post in ring pictures where their not even standing straight

I don't care what kind of stupid pointless slides you show. Every single one of the "comparisons" are worthless. I saw the match between them and there was less than a 6" difference for sure. Talk about using the most bogus pics possible. I could find still shots of Andre giving John Studd a headbut where he looks 8" taller than him. And his feet remain on the ground.
