The FU and F5 seems legit but some will say they jump onto the opponents shoulder. I believe that can def be done with pure strength as long as the other wrestler just stands there without holding any of his weight down. I FUed one of my heavy friends who at the time was 320-330lbs without any assist with him just letting me do it so I'm sure Cena and Lesnar can do the same to Big Show.

Alex: Press slams are not unassisted either. If you noticed, the person being press always supposed their weight by putting their hands on the performer's shoulders and uses their arms to support themselves. It takes a great deal of strength, don't get me wrong, but they are not pure strength. Powerslams depend. If they are the type that the British Bulldog did, then they do require some good amount of strength. If they are the type that uses a ton of momentum, then not so much (i.e. throw the person to the rope, they come back and get powerslammed-type). Suplexes hardly require any strength and in fact, the person getting suplexed puts in more work than the person performing.

They allow it but most of that is real strength. For example press slams, suplexes, powerslams.

Ola, Mark Henry is a former power-lifter. He holds the world record for the heaviest squat unassisted. Don't try to act like the man isn't strong, he is.

"Mainly because they allow themselves to be tossed."
Exactly. How on earth does anyone who is older than 5, not know that the only reason Khali can toss Kane and the Undertaker out with one hand is because wrestling is scripted and they allowed it?

can we be realistic here plz, Tenta wasnt any 6'6. he had sting by only 3 inches, and sid had sting by 5-6... i give tenta tops 6'4 1/2
Realistic?? haha. He was OFFICIALLY measured during his sumo days. He FORE sure shrunk throughout the years seeing Hilbilly Jim was taller than Tenta on Hilbilly Jim's site. He probably shrunk an inch from his sumo days, seeing he was well over 400 pounds for YEARS. Same thing applies to Andre, Big Show and Haystacks. Peak Tenta = 6'5 3/4".. Closer to his death = an inch shorter.

here are the heights of wrestlers
John Layfield 6'5.5"
Shawn Michaels 6'0"
John Cena 6'1"
I have studied the RAW video from the three standing together. Cena has an inch on HBK. So HBK is NOT his listed 6'1" John Cena actually IS 6'1"
No, HBK is definitely not over 5'11" and probably just shy of that today. Cena is 6'0" (same height as Austin).

Just to comment, Big show is incredibly strong. I remember during the WCW Big show deadlifted 300lb stevie ray for the chokeslam. Just incredible, never saw a giant toss 300 pounders around like this man. I also would not doubt a 7'1" peak height.

Just if some of you were wondering, I could be wrong here, but I vaguely recall Andre being billed as heavy as 560lbs shortly before the end of his career.

"We all know colleges beef up their players to make them look good for scouts going into the nba/nfl. I bet show was 7'.05'' back in the day but bball listings are shady at most."
Well if that's the case where we can't even believe the listings from a legit sport, then we've really got nothing to build from. This is analogous to saying that everything we know of in history is wrong because we don't know that anyone ever kept a reliable record.

"And some people also dont realize how someone can be bigger than someone even though they weigh less because muscle is more than fat! You can have a guy 6'0 190lbs bigger than someone 5'11 210lbs."
And it's for reasons like these I don't take it too seriously when people tend to try to guess the weight of the wrestlers, it's so much harder than guessing height.

7'1 wouldn't mean he was that barefoot for sure but I believe he was close to it at his peak. I still dont think he's lost any more than 1/2 inch since back then. More because of his weight he looks a bit shorter.
Andre was def heavier at his heaviest than Big Show was. Andre could have been 550lbs by 1990-1992.
I agree. Some people dont understand. Bigger means weight/mass/muscle, not height. And some people also dont realize how someone can be bigger than someone even though they weigh less because muscle is more than fat! You can have a guy 6'0 190lbs bigger than someone 5'11 210lbs.
I see Big Show having lost minimum 1". He was 7'0.5"-7'1" in the 1990's and 6'11"-7'0" today.

Here's that shoot interview with Ric Flair (I've only capped the part where he talks about Andre and Big Show).
You should listen again to what he says. He states that Andre was being "BILLED" bigger than The Giant.
You should listen to it again. What he says is that they billed Big Show as as big as Andre. "He's not as big, they billed him as being as big" is what he says.
I think Show was atleast an inch or so taller than peak Andre. But Andre at his heaviest (near the end) was heavier than Big Show ever was.

Big Show is a legit 441, or at least he was when he was weighed for his match against Floyd Mayweather at Wrestlemania last year.
He was also a legit 490 something pounds for his WEIGH for his sumo match a few years ago and he was a legit 420, 430, 507, 525 pounds, etc..... He is a YOYO. We know his weigh goes down and climbs back up, but we also know that his height has only gone one direction since the mid-late 90's and that being DOWN from a LEGIT 7'1" barefoot man to about 6'11.5" imo.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Andre was bigger, i.e. heavier than the Big Show. Although, at Show's heaviest, Andre probably would be much heavier, but I still wouldn't be surprised. And I agree with you Danimal. Usually "bigger" is referring to overall mass, not height.
I don't think it is talking about who the bigger star is as in who was more famous. That would definitely be hands down Andre. Andre was around during a time when pro-wrestling was in its heyday with such iconic stars as Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan (I don't consider Ultimate Warrior iconic). Even people who aren't wrestling fans usually know who these guys are.

Flair is not the only one to say Andre was bigger. Hacksaw states in a shoot Andre was bigger & taller than Show. Heenan Hogan & Big Show himself all state Andre was taller. Show's boots had over an inch advantage on Andre's boots and had much better posture than Andre which has to be taken into comparing the 2. Also Hogan had lost 2 inches in height from surgery by the time he met a young in prime Show as opposed to Andre who lost height from multiple surgeries, major back problems, poor posture. Also Big Show was said to have worn lifts in wcw.

I think Flair meant Andre to be bigger (wheter that was size or height is up to debate), but seeing as Flair is referring to Don Leo Jonathan as 6'9 (who's listed in the Canadian Wrestling Hall of Fame as 6'5) makes me think he's more referring to their billed sizes rather than their actual sizes. Jonathan was billed 6'9 when he wrestled Andre in the early 70's. Kinda wonder if Flair even knew Andre's real height. Most people would probably take his 7'4 height for granted.

Andre looked well over 500lbs in 1990 at WM 6. He was bigger there then he was in the late 80's. As heavy Big Show was he still had more muscle than Andre had. Big Show was 525lbs legit I read in late 2006.

Danimal: I have every right to say that I am unimpressed by Andre as much as people say they are unimpressed by Khali. It seems like just because Andre is consider a legend, fans such as yourself, get upset when people like me say the exact same things about him as you would say about Khali. I've watched a couple of his '70's matches and I'm still not that impressed by his athleticism or his mic skills.

Fair enough, you're entitled to your opinion.

This is a match between The Giant and John Tenta from Nitro July 1, 1996. Big Show (Giant) is looking tall here.
Wow 6'6 Tenta comes up to Shows eyes! Almost the same as 6'6 Hogan and Andre from wm3

I remember Show being billed at 540 lbs at Roadwild '98 (I think), when Goldberg got him up for the jackhammer.
He wouldn't have been near that weight at the time, but he was legitimately well over 500 lbs around late '06 to early '07 before he left wrestling for a while and lost some weight.

A bump on a log would be more athletic than Andre.
Topdweeb I've said this before, start watching Andre from the 70's (preferably the early 70's) as Andre from the 80's wasn't even a shadow of his former self anymore. If you only watch Andre from the 80's and claim he was about as athletic as an elephant is injustice to the man himself. It's like people who watch Muhammed Ali today and not during his prime and then claim they don't understand why people think he's the greatest boxer ever.
Andre was very agile for a guy his size and paved the way for the giant wrestlers that followed him. It's because of Andre's legacy and his huge success that I believe many giant wrestlers are given the opportunities they get. Because let's face it. How many succesful giant wrestlers have there been. You have Andre and Big Show in the US, Haystacks in the UK and Giant Baba in Japan and that's about it. Besides them most of the giant wrestlers have failed horribly.
I couldn't have said it better myself Big Show. It's quite disrespectful of Topweed to make comments like that. A PRIME Andre was capable of jumping off the ropes and many other moves. He was agile up until the early 1980's. Your comments are unnecessary Topweed and quite trollish to put a man who is dead down like that.

cool yeh i found it on a shoot interview forum, and someone had sent a link to the recent flair interview in 4 parts...if anyone finds it download the 3rd part and literally the first words said are 'paul wight' and he talks about him for 2 or 3 mins. its hard to fully understand what flair says cuz of his gravelly voice but i listened to that part 3 or 4 times and the impression i got was that he said andre was bigger but big show is far more athletic.
Thanks for pointing out it's the 3rd part. I've downloaded it yesterday and have seen it. Too bad that the videosharing site of Daily##### was down yesterday, so I couldn't upload that part. I will do this at the end of the week.
Flair indeed said that Andre was bigger, but I have the feeling he was using their billings as reference as he also called Don Leo Jonathan 6'9 and he's 6'5. Not sure if Flair said Big Show was being billed to be bigger, because like you've said, you sometimes don't understand a word he's saying.

I remember Big Show being billed at 540lbs but he was still smaller I think then when he was billed at 500lbs in WWF/WWE.
When he had his last match in WCW on January 11, 1999 he was overweight and had a huge gut. When he entered WWF a month later on February 14 he seemed a lot leaner, without losing any of that muscle mass he had. Rumour has it he had some liposuction to remove some of that fat.

gazz: well until you can document that, that falls into the category of hearsay. To top it off, it's not even true. Big Show was billed at 7' 4 and less than 500 pounds in WCW. Andre was billed as 7' 4 (and sometimes even 7' 5) and 528 lbs. In WWE, the Big Show's max height billing was 7' 2 and his max weight billing was 500 lbs. At no time was Big Show ever billed bigger than Andre. So either you misunderstood, or Flair is just growing more delirious with age.
Sorry, but The Giant (Big Show) was being billed at 550 pounds in 1998 ( they state that weight during the match when Goldberg spears and jacknife's him) in the WCW. They constantly increased his weight as the years went by.

Most definately. He started being billed at over 500 lbs in May/June 1998 and after that his billed weighed increased by 5-10 lbs at every PPV. At Starrcade 1998 in his match with DDP he's billed at 553 lbs. Btw in his last match in WCW in January 1999, Michael Buffer announces him as 7'5 and over 500 lbs.
The lowest Big Show has ever been called is in that video I've posted a few days ago (against John Tenta). Mean Gene exposes Big Show's real height by calling him 6'4 lol.

Some people are comparing Big Show's head length to a normal persons. If someone comes up to the bottom of a normal guys nose it would be roughly 6.5 inches but with Big Show its going to be more.

Did Flair say that Big Show wasn't actually taller than Andre or the other way around? Big Show has never been billed as being bigger than Andre (at least not in the WWF). The tallest height he's ever been billed at in the WWE was 7'2 and the heaviest weight was 507 lbs. Andre's peaks were 7'5 and 528 lbs (not sure if he was billed heavier in 1989 and 1990).
In WCW Big Show's peaks were 7'4 and around 553 lbs.
I'll have a look and see if I can find that shoot interview.

Wasn`t Tenta measured at 6'5.75" as a sumo wrestler? Big Show looks 6 or 7 inches taller than Tenta in that video,that would put him between 7'0" and 7'1" at the time,and maybe an inch less than that today.

your absolutly right danimal the thing is is that when people hear 6'1.5 they think oh hes 6 foot so he has to be 1 foot taller. The thing is, is that mike is really around 6'2. If rob put down mike as 6'2 and you look at that picture and say wow mike is 6 foot 2 you will notice how big the big show is. Btw the big show is giving up atleast an inch and a half from posture to mikes impeccable posture. Hows head would clear the top of the photo if you imagine him doing the same posture as mike. Btw the top of the photo is 6'10

Actually NO Tim. Why? Because your head is NOWHERE near as long as Big Show's. Furthermore, Mike stated he was 6'1 3/4", which is essentially 6'2". I don't know why Rob hasn't changed that and why Rob keeps up this picture when they are SO MANY better ones where we see people's feet. Kind of deceiving Rob.

about a year back, i posted a 6'10 reference to morgan during his time in hawaii, its under the Chaminade Silverswords section Click Here
IIRC it was only Jason who said morgan was much shorter than 6-10, he claimed 6-4 in person for morgan. having stood beside morgan twice (last time in april) with him wearing dress-shoes and sneakers he certainly isn't under 6-8, he is without question taller than both kane and undertaker in streets

This is kind-of off topic, but how big is matt morgan (weight wise)? I found an article here (Click Here) that lists is height and weight when he playing college ball in 1996. It says he was 6-10, 230 lbs. Ostensibly, his billed weight and height in pro wrestling should not be taken to a T. And American Gladiators, who listed him at 310lbs (forgot the height), is also skeptical, for the same reasons as pro wrestling (it's in the same circle, practically, especially the original version). I can believe that he gained weight since 1996, although he looked a lot smaller than Big Show when they faced off (slightly in height but especially in weight, here).
Excellent find on the basketball listing of Morgan. For those who said Morgan was wearing lifts to fit the 6'10 billing are wrong. The guy is simply in the neighbourhood of 6'10. The lowest I'd buy for him is 6'8.5 (which could still give him a 6'10 listing if it's a listing in shoes and rounded up).

It says he was 6-10, 230 lbs. Ostensibly, his billed weight and height in pro wrestling should not be taken to a T. And American Gladiators, who listed him at 310lbs (forgot the height), is also skeptical, for the same reasons as pro wrestling (it's in the same circle, practically, especially the original version). I can believe that he gained weight since 1996, although he looked a lot smaller than Big Show when they faced off (slightly in height but especially in weight, here).
Excellent find on the basketball listing of Morgan. For those who said Morgan was wearing lifts to fit the 6'10 billing are wrong. The guy is simply in the neighbourhood of 6'10. The lowest I'd buy for him is 6'8.5 (which could still give him a 6'10 listing if it's a listing in shoes and rounded up).

Let see, I am 6 ft 3 and my girl friend is 5 ft 3 . In the mirror, the top of her head only comes up to my shoulders. The same would be true in this picture. If the Big Show was a legit 7 ft, wouldn't the " 6 ft 1.5 Mike only come up to his shoulders. Hey, it's not "Rocket Science" folks. Either the Big Show isn't 7 ft or Mike is a heck of alot taller than 6 ft 1.5 .....Do the math.

I'd imagine Matt Morgan to be in roughly the same weight bracket as Kane, somewhere around 315 lbs.

Guys, there is nothing wrong in this picture. Mike's body is tilted, so that gives Big Show an extra inch. Big Show already looks 6 inches taller than Mike. He also has a 3 inch bigger head than Mike's head. That would make Big Show 6'11.5". I still think Big Show is 7 foot because when people are being measured, they stand fully tall. Big Show could just stand a little more straight and be 1/4 inches taller.

I agree with Clay and Ranstrob it looks like Mike is either on his toes or leaning inward just so he can fit in the frame. Big Show is so wide that he is taking up most of the space in the picture.

He looked a good 7 foot next to Edge on Smackdown the other night.
My comment: Big Show always looks minimum 6'9". When he was face to face with Edge on Friday Night Smackdown 12/26/08, he was slouching and he already looked 6 inches taller than Edge. Edge is 6'3", and Big Show's head is about 2 inches bigger than Edge's head, so I would call him 7'. I wouldn't call Big Show under 6'11".

My comment: Look yoyo, Mike is 6'1.5", and he's right under Big Show's nose. That means Big Show is 6 inches taller. But Mike is leaning, which makes him look taller. That makes Big Show 6'8.5" MINIMUM as possible. Big Show's head is 3 inches bigger than Mike's. It's clear that Mike's head is around 9 inches (maybe 9.5 inches). That makes Big Show 6'11.5" or 7'.

I think editor Rob should give him a warning or something as Danimal is right, this guy has been trolling the boards for months. He adds absolutely nothing to any height debate as his posts only consist of him bragging about his own (fantasy) height. I don't care if he's 7'1 or not as long as he stops referring to it all the time and just participates in the height discussions of the celebs like everybody else.

Show was perhaps 7"0.5/7"1 at his peak in the 90's, as for today - he's struggling with 7"0.
Can look 6"10-11 with bad posture. I feel if he stretched himself out to the max he could still brush 7"0 early in the day.

Big Show would have been the exact same height as Khali and Shaq in the mid-late 90's. I would bet my life savings on that. Remember, Big Show was listed at 7'1" in basketball, just like Shaq. Being over 500 pounds and horrible posture (back and knee problems) took at least an inch off of the big guy. I say he used to be at least 7'0.5" and today could look at low as 6'11" at times. He used to have legit 3" on then 6'9.5"-6'10" Kevin Nash in the WCW.

Topdweeb, good you see Khali is slightly closer to the camera as well which can account for a very minimal height difference. Even if they were level they'd look about the same still and if anything shaq may have 1/4 inch on Khali at most.

You can't get information about who is 1/4 of an inch taller or shorter from a photograph. That's just absurd.
Khali and Shaq look the same height, but I would say that Shaq is a hair taller. However, that cannot be proved no matter how many lines people draw on the pic.

Clay: Those lines do not show Khali being .25" to .5" taller than Shaq, and we shouldn't assume either one has a footwear advantage. Khali is slightly closer to the camera which could explain the very slight height he has. And I don't even see where you complain about being precise when you are trying to narrow Khali all the way down to his final 1/4" of height.

Topdweeb, according to the level lines in that pic Khali clearly ''IS'' taller than Shaq by .25-.5 of an inch. And we dont know who has a footwear advantage. You really think their footwear is EXACTLY the same? If we're going to get so freakin' precise here you have to take that into consideration. So no, its not concluded yet who is taller between Shaq or Singh.

Danimal: I used to think it was nuts that you thought Show was just as tall as Khali at his peak. I do acknowledge that Show lost height, but I still thought it was nuts. Until ghost posted that video and if you stop it at 6:08 mark, then it looks like Khali isn't even close to having a full inch on Show. Based on that, I say that I do believe a peak Show would stand just as tall as Khali does.

I am conflicted with Big Show, because I am confident that the man would have been every bit as tall as Khali if he were to have stood next to him circa 1995-1999. Big had the same basketball height listing as Shaq. Shaq is the same height as Khali. Big Show isn't what he used to be. Big Show used to walk around with CRAZY good posture. His neck was long and his back was straight and his legs were straight. He was a solid 7'1" at one point. Today he give the impression that he is between 6'11" and 7'0". This may be due to his really poor posture, combined with some height loss, which may only be .5", but with the posture, it looks like he is a full 2" shorter than he used to be, giving the impression of a 6'11" man at times. I would love to see a 1996 Big Show face off with a 2008 Big Show. All of you would truly see then that the young Big Show truly was a "Giant" (as he was referred to in the WCW). He used to have 3" on a PEAK Kevin Nash. Current Big Show would appear at times only to have maybe 1" on a PEAK Nash.

Clay: 1.5 inches is a pretty good difference, and that is your conservative estimate anyway, you often say they are as much as 2 inches apart. I don't even see 1.5" ... heck I don't even see 1" and I'm not alone in that at all.

Alex, yeah, I hover between 290 and 300 lbs right now. I was down to about 178 lbs back in January, 2007. Not even 2 years later here I am (ridiculous huh?). And yes, I shrink 1.25" only if I'm on my feet for a few hours. Usually I only lose an inch, but it varies from daily activity.
KingNick, I know what you're saying. I just cannot see him losing much if any height since that match with Akebono; he is only 36. At first I also thought it was a 3" difference, but after watching the match a couple more times, I could see close to a 4" difference. Akebono was also listed 204 cm, or 6-8.25. So even 3.75" over him would put Show about 7-0.
You make a good point too, bro. I'm open to that possibility.
Clay, what do you think the difference is between the two? Barefoot, I see Khali as 7'1" and Show at 6'11". In ring gear, I see 1" between them. So Show would be 7'1" in ring gear and Khali would be just under 7'2" in ring gear, which would account for the footwear advantage IMO.

Viper, if you have Khali at 7'0 then Shaq can't be 7'1. No way was there an inch between them. They were pretty much the same height, if anything maybe 1/4 inch difference.

LOL you think 1.5 is a significant height advantage? Look, thats what 1.5-2 inch height differnce looks like on a screen, thats all Im saying. Thats how I look when I stand next to someone who's 5'11'', you can barely notice a difference with me being 5'9.5. They're 7'0 and 7'1.5. Or 6'11.5 and 7'1.

Clay: you're the ONLY one who thinks Khali is significantly taller than Big Show. You provide the WORST video evidence I have ever seen anyone provide and to make matters worse, it didn't even prove your case.
If you think Big Show is standing straight, then there is no hope for you. Take a look at his neck, he is slightly hunched over, while Khali is standing so ridiculously straight, that he is nearly leaning backwards. Again, you're the only one who can't see that Big Show is slouching.
The footwear advantage, you can as if Khali is in barefeet. The difference between the two isn't even a full inch. Big Show's boots aren't much bigger than Khali's, so I wouldn't have a problem saying Big Show has like a 1/4" advantage but that still only puts Khali at about an inch taller than Show.
You simply need to get over it. Khali is not the world's tallest man like you seem to think he is.

Fatman, so you're back to the same weight you were before you got down to 178lbs? What happened you just stopped working out and back to eating whatever?
Funny thing is, I never worked out when I went from 260 down to 178. I did the low carb thing and lost 50 lbs in 2 months. Then I got off it and lost over 30 lbs more. I think my body went into shock or something lol, I just lost my appetite and didn't eat much. But yeah, my old eating habits have gotten the better of me the last year or two.
topdweeb, exactly. If Show was 6-10.5, Khali AND Shaq would both be struggling with 7 feet.

That low angle made Khali look a bit taller than Show then he really is. At the 1:03 mark I see just an inch. I seen an inch in all their faceoffs as well.

Clay: that is at a very far distance, it's at an angle, and even still, I do not see a 1.5 to 2 inch difference at all. Khali barely looks taller. And no, Khali is not over 7' 1, he was exact same height as Shaq who is 7' 1. That video is the lamest evidence I have ever seen on here, are you really serious?

I think Big Show needs to get his weight down to say 350lbs and spend longer in the gym. It might improve his posture, appearance and mobility.

That's gotta be the worst camera angle ever. The camera is like 10 feet away from the action and just look at the ring ropes. From left to right they go up, which means the person who is standing on the right (which in this case is Khali) will have the camera advantage. There are better staredowns between these guys, where the camera zooms in on the action and where the camera angle is horizontal (thus eliminating camera advantages) and there the difference is barely an inch.

Alex, yeah, I hover between 290 and 300 lbs right now. I was down to about 178 lbs back in January, 2007. Not even 2 years later here I am (ridiculous huh?). And yes, I shrink 1.25" only if I'm on my feet for a few hours. Usually I only lose an inch, but it varies from daily activity.
KingNick, I know what you're saying. I just cannot see him losing much if any height since that match with Akebono; he is only 36. At first I also thought it was a 3" difference, but after watching the match a couple more times, I could see close to a 4" difference. Akebono was also listed 204 cm, or 6-8.25. So even 3.75" over him would put Show about 7-0.

Sorry, but NO. Big Show had Akebono, who is a legit 6-8, by around 4" not too long ago. He is not significantly under 7' by any stretch of the imagination. People have to realize something; weight will GREATLY affect ones posture. Hell, at around 300 lbs, I'm all hunched over at the end of the day, and I shrink 1.25" from morning to night. Big Show has about 150 lbs on me, I can only imagine how his back would be hurting after being on his feet for a while, not to mention he has been over 500 lbs before.
I agree he may have had around 4" over Akebono (maybe 3" IMO) but I think he may have lost height since then, at least an inch. It's hard to tell b/c he hardly ever stands up straight and wears huge boots.

Fatman: I agree, no way is Big Show as low as 6' 10.5. Like I said in a previous post, everyone of us will stand as erect as humanly possible when we are being measured to squeeze every bit of height into us. But no one walks around normally as if they are being measured. So it's ridiculous to think that everyone you see the Big Show he is 7' on the money.
Delux: No way. Khali is the same height as Shaq at 7' 1, and Khali does not have 2.5 inches on the Big Sow. It's more like 1 inch, 1.5 inches maximum.

It has to be remember that when you see people just out and about, you more than likely aren't seeing them at their max height. Everyone of us will stand as straight as we can and trying to squeeze every little bit of height into our frame to make ourselves as tall as possible. But no one walks like that, that would be ridiculous. So a legit 7 footer possibly looking a little shorter while passing by or something, isn't that surprising.

Frank: I've noticed that when wrestlers are asked what their height is, especially when they are in character, they tend to just give what their billed height is. There are some exceptions, like I remember Big Show saying he was 7' 1 when he was billed at 7' 4 in WCW. But for the most part, that's what happens.

Vegas, I asked Taker how tall he was and he told me he was 6ft 9 and to be honest he looked it Not saying we was with all the evidence pointing he was never that tall...

IIRC, Taker looked a little under 6'7" to you when you saw him. Did he look around the same height as Heidenreich did to you? Taker somehow looked 2+ inches taller in the ring with him.
i thought taker looked 6'7ish in person, give or take half an inch, it all depends on takers forehead length as the top of the head of sensational sherris son who told me he was a legit 6'2 barefoot(who was talking with him for a few minutes) was at takers eyeline (alot like the photos you posted of taker/lesnar)
heindenreich looked almost as tall but then i saw both guys at different times 2 years apart, unlike kane and matt morgan who i saw within minutes of each other and it was evident morgan was taller, i didn't have a legit 6'4 and a legit 6'2 guy to compare to heindenreich
frank said taker looked 6'9 to him in gear which if true means either his posture is poor when walking around or he has a little help in his wrestling boots, i don't understand how he looks about 1-1.5 inch taller than crush in 1993 (whom some on here pin as low as 6'4) then 8 inches taller than 6'2 shane 6 years later?? would love to get his basketball listing

Red: that video isn't that great for a height comparison on Taker and Tenta IMO; Taker is looking way down for one and also a staredown between Taker and Tenta would be what we need really for comparison. Taker would be clearly taller than Tenta.

It's about 5 inches between Yoko and Tenta.
Yokozuna was probably around 6'1-6'2. He was billed 6'4.

....At first I was kinda surprised that you said Conan is 240 lbs. I thought you meant Conan O'Brien (who isn't even close to 240 lbs). But then I realised you meant Konnan. Not that I think he's 240 lbs either. He's short (IIRC he was about the same height or slightly taller than Eddie Guerrero) and although he's well build, I don't think he's got that much bulk to be 240 lbs.
Never paid enough attention to the guy to see how he spelled his name:) I thought he looked around 5'10". He was a pretty stocky guy, certainly heavier than a peak weight Kurt Angle.

"And he is almost as tall as khali today so 10 years ago I believe he was as tall as khali and shaq."
Good chance of that. He was over 500 lbs for so long and he is still over-weight, that over time, it wouldn't be too surprising if that excess weight compressed his spine, making him lose an inch of height. And he usually has bad posture compared to Khali, so that doesn't help things either.

It was college basketball he was listed at 7'1 with so there is a chance he was 6'11-6'11 1/2 and then grew a bit more. But I also heard he was 7'0 by the time he was 18 years old as well. All these different sources though.

Have you seen the pics of Hogan and Mean Gene that JT posted on Hogan's forum? He has the exact same height difference between him and Gene from the 80's to the present. What do you make of that?

Topdweed, I personally dont think Big Show shrunk really, maybe 1/2 inch at most. He may seem a bit shorter due to posture, weight gain, not the usage of lifts like he wore sometimes in WCW. Hogan now I believe could have been 6'6 at his peak, at least 6'5 1/2 but today I believe Hogan to be no more than 6'3. yea I believe Hogan lost around 3 inches in height.

I could be wrong but I remember Vegas saying his friend was 6'4.5 as well. Either way Big Show has at least 7 inches on him. Based on that Mike is what pushing 6'5 compared to Vegas' friend.

JT: thanks for the comparisons, it shows even more how suspicious that pic with "mike" is.
nick: yeah, yeah I've seen you do that before. The problem is, is that you manipulated the pic. And no matter how you slice it, when doing that type of digital manipulation, there is always interpretation involved of how it would/should look if Big Show stood straight. I think the most obvious answer is that they either aren't on level ground, or mike is taller than he is saying that he is.
Btw, mike said he was not standing on one foot and he claimed that the ground was level. Besides, even if he were standing on one foot (which he probably is, this guy obviously can't be trusted) then he's gonna need a lot more than an inch added from it in order to look as tall as he does.

Btw, mike said he was not standing on one foot and he claimed that the ground was level. Besides, even if he were standing on one foot (which he probably is, this guy obviously can't be trusted) then he's gonna need a lot more than an inch added from it in order to look as tall as he does.

haha topweed, how many times do i have to do this.
First understand that it is an illusion. The first pcture is the original, the second is if the bifg show stood in 100 percent erect posture (projected) and the third is if show was 6'6. Now you can see the height differenceis huge when you see it as a smaller picture. In the above photo or the one i posted when you do the lines across show is a hair under 6'10 but when he stand totally erect he is very close to 7 foot, just look at the middle picture. Also mike does in fact look like he is standing on 1 foot like i mentioned close to a year ago adding nearly an inch.
The big show seems to beleaning in and on his back foot which deducts quite a bit of height. Im 6'2.5 andi have pictures with my 5'8 friends and i do that all the time

I've never paid any attention to that photo with Mike. It's clearly not right. It would make Big Show no taller than about 6,8.5", which everybody knows he is much taller than.

But Mike said Big Show looked 6'11 to him though. It sure doesn't appear to be a 9 1/2 inch difference above. That picture is fishy. Vegas's 6'4 friend who we seen next to a height chart was 7-8 inches shorter than Big Show.

I think Mike is standing on one foot, adding an additional inch as well.

nick: forget it. there's no saving that pic. Hell, if mike is really only 6' 1.5 and he's that tall to the Big Show, then imagine someone who is like 6' 8, they would look virtually indistinguable in height... and then what type of mental gymnastics would you have to do then. Fact is, "mike" in that pic is taller to the Big Show than Vegas' 6' 4 friend is. There is something seriously wrong. Either the ground isn't level, mike is standing on something, or he's lying about his height. But let's not fool ourselves into thinking that this picture makes perfect sense because it clearly doesn't.

lol danimal. I know its controversial but think about it this way, mike is a near 6'2 guy and big shows head is nearly at the top of the photo, the big show isnt standing straight and mike is as straight as can be. I already did an analysis on the photo and it looks as if the big show is leaning in and also leaning back on his right foot which can take away nearly two inches in the picture, also the picture is taken upward scewing the difference very slightly. If you just imagin the big show standin as straight as mike his head would be a over the top of the picture which makes it a 10 inch difference.
People put such an emphasis on that magical "6'2" so when they see 6'1.5 they think 6 footer, i guarentee you that if it said -Mike 6'2- it would be no debate that show looks like a 7 footer.

A few comparison pics of Big Show and Giant Gonzales using great pics from Chris and Vegas with Nash as the reference point (Click Here) and with Yao Ming (Click Here) using NASCAR driver Kyle Petty as the reference point. This also shows how large Big Show

What it comes down to is this: Big Show was tall enough at one point to be listed as 7' 1 in college basketball. I don't know if he shrunk or not, or if that measurement is in shoes or what, but either way, he is definitely right around the 7' mark. To this day, I still don't get why that pic above is kept up when we all know that either mike lied about his height, or there is something fishy about it.
Because it created controversy and Rob knows this puts the asses in the seats ;).

I'd say for The Big Show he was 7'1.25 in the peak of his career and 7'0 now.

Danimal, you may be a size 50 jacket then if your chest is 47 inches. Or you buy the 48 size jacket for a tight fit?

Danimal, whats your chest size? Some say you buy the exact jacket size as your chest size then some day go up a size for a better fit. My chest is about 43 inches I'd probably be a 46 jacket size I am guessing.

Alex: ah yes, you're right, thanks for the correction... but what kind of typo would that be? At first I thought maybe he meant to say 282cm, but that would be way too tall. So I don't know what he meant. And to make matters worse, he said Big Show would be 5' 11 in boots, not even barefooted at the least. lol

Here's a match from Heat, which features an 8-man brawl between The Union (Big Show, Test, Mankind & Ken Shamrock) vs. D.O.A. (The Harris Brothers) & Too Much (a.k.a. Too Cool). Those Harris brothers were some pretty big men (as seen in the pic with Chris), but Big Show just dwarfs them.

Hugh: get real, 182cm is just a little over 5' 9"... if you seriously think Big Show is only around 5' 9 in big boots then it's amazing your brain can even generate enough power to your hands to type such a comment.
