Pretty much confirms what we've always said, Khali is 7' 1 so Big Show is 6' 11 minimum.

Oh really Danimal??? Because I was under the impression everyone at this site knew exactly what the **** they were talking about, and this wasnt an opinion-based site?

Henry would be stronger than Show in lifting events. I'm willing to bet Show would destroy him in an arm wrestle though.

Check out the Show in the movie 'Jingle all the way'. That was his early-mid 20's and he looked about 350-360 there that was right after basketball. He has struggled with weight ever since he removed the tumour. Someone like Khali is heavy as hell but healthy and muscular actually.
MORE ignorant comments. Do you understand what facts are? Big Show was in his mid 20's in Jingle All The Way and close to 400 pounds already there. As for Khali being healthier than Big Show, how do you know that? Are you the doctor doing a physical on either of them? Thought not.

Im not so sure Mark Henry is even stronger that Big Show. Big Show is freakin' strong if he wanted to he could compete in those competitions. The guys built like the himilean mountains.
Man are you ignorant. Mark Henry is an Olympic POWERLIFTER, with official lifts under his belt. TRUST ME, he IS stronger than Big Show, who has no formal powerlifting training, at least not that I am informed of. Most of your opinions are based on your feelings and NOT on logic or facts.

Big Show had an amazing physique in the 90's. He looks incredibly muscular in this video and is definitely stronger than the Great Khali.

I've got that match on dvd and I always that chokeslam on the Blue Meanie is an incredible feat of strength. He lifts him up but doesn't drop him down immediately. He lifts him up a little higher, which is purely the strength of Big Show as The Blue Meanie can't assist him in that, unless he found the ability to fly. And the Blue Meanie was no small man, he was around 300 lbs (if not more).

Big Show probably is stronger than Khali, but he is also bulkier. Khali is more cut. Mark Henry is stronger than both, but all 3 are freaks of nature.

I think Big Show is stronger than Khali as well but Khali is a very strong man I'd think too. But niether are as strong as Mark Henry though.

I'd expect Big Show to be stronger than Khali. He's done some incredible chokeslams to the likes of Taker and Kane before. I remember when he military pressed Hugh Morrus once as well with little effort.

Yah, I agree Alex. While Big Show does have a lot of fat, he also has a good amount of muscle. Looks solid to me. He's just a very massive individual; a giant with great strength. When he chokeslams someone, it looks as he lifts and holds them up there with not too much help from his opponent.

Big Show was in WCW by the time Jingle All the Way was filmed. If the movie came out in 1997 then it was filmed 6 months to a year beforehand.

Big Show has a good amount of muscle but its kinda hidden. His arms are bulked/fat but he doesn't have any definition but those arms I bet are solid, not like a fat guys who are all flabby.

Actually this movie was filmed in 1996 several years after Wight's basketball career. I don't know if you have ever seen pics of Big Show while he was playing basketball, but he looked like a toothpic compared to the Big Show that entered WCW in 1995.
Big Show stopped playing basketball in 1993 after he was diagnosed with sciatica (irritations to the nerves in the lower back and legs), which ended his dreams of being in the NBA.

Topdweeb, also remember when Big Show was only 420-430lbs legit in 1999-2000 before he got hurt at Judgement Day 2000 he was billed at 500lbs. He came back in July 2000 and was 480lbs or so and pushing his billed weight. Since then he's been stuggling with his weight.
Big Show is been having troubles with his weight ever since he got into wrestling. Whenever he lost weight, he gained it back just as quick. When it comes to physique I think his best shape was in 1996 and 1997.
In 1998 he clearly gained a lot of weight and by late 1998 he was pretty fat. Before he arrived in the WWF he lost some weight and although he was still fat, he didn't have a huge gut like in WCW.
Big Show received a huge push in the WWF, but after he started gaining weight again his push ended. Again he lost weight and received another push in late 1999. After that the story was the same, again his weight went up and eventually he was send to OVW to lose weight.
And that's about the story of Big Show. He loses weight and gains it back again. Not sure what causes is. Maybe his metabolism isn't working well, or his diet is wrong. My guess is it's a combination of both. The heavy travel schedule probably has an affect on his eating habits, because whenever he leaves he can lose weight, but he hardly loses weight when he wrestles. When he came back at 441 lbs, he was still way too heavy, even for someone his size. He should be somewhere in the 375 lbs area, which would probably be an excellent weight for him.

Just an interesting tidbit for you guys and something you may find interesting, I've met quite a few wrestlers who work the Indy circuit. One guy I worked with last year is 6'8". LEGIT, I worked with him. I asked him about if the Indy wrestlers exaggerate heights and he said that his height was always measured in his wrestling boots and that he was billed anywhere from 6'9"-6'10" depending on the promoter. He also said he met Big Show in person and Show was an easy 7' in his opinion.

There will always be at least one kid in a high school who is 6'7-6'8. Normally a few in that range. Most of the time those kids are in 11th or 12th grade and they were at least 6'5 when they entered high school.

Marotte: maybe. But the point is is that Jesse Hughes is coming on here giving us this information as if it is meant to discredit the Big Show and "prove" he isn't really 500 lbs, when his entire point is invalidated by the fact that Big Show lost over 100 pounds and hasn't been billed at 500 lbs ever since his return.

hey danimal, you proved my point even further. I just didnt want people who are 5'7 to look too bad saying that them looking up to a guy 6'2 6'3 is like a guy around my height looking up to a near 7 footer.
See us cool guys ranging from 6'2 to 6'4 are so full of ourselves that when we see people 7 or 8 inches taller than us, they are giants. But guys at 5'7 see people towering over them like that every single day. :)

I live in Roswell, New Mexico, visited El Paso, TX last weekend, I saw WWE Smackdown on TV Azteca / Ch. 20 over there, Big Show was 198 kilos according to the announcer so he's actually 437 lbs. So Big Show can't possibly be 500 lbs.

ras at 5'7 you cant possibly judge what a 7 footer is. At my height of 6'2.5 i would obviously get a much better guage of what 7 feet is, however, i recently encountered a man that was "really tall" where i work and i guessed him at 6'9, but in fact he said he was 6'10 and proceeded to duck 3 inches under the 6'8 doorway i measured the next day.
There are so many people out there that are 5'7, when a 5'7 guy looks up to a 6'3 guy its like a 6'3 guy looking up to a 6'10 guy. Im sure its easy for you to guage a guy in the 6'2 to 6'4 range but it gets way harder when you double that difference
Someone can't do the simple math....haha. There is 8" from 5'7" to 6'3", therefore, if you are 6'3", it would be equal to looking up to a 6'11" man, not a 6'10" man. Way to prove a point ;)...joke.

In high school who was the tallest kid you remember? When I was in 9th grade there was a kid in 10th grade who was 6'6-6'7 and when I was in 11th grade he was in 12th and was at least 6'8 if not a little taller. I seen him a couple years after high school and he looked like he was 6'10.
When I was in grade 11 there was this kid in 12th grade who was 6'8. He was an inch taller than the tallest teacher at school who was 6'7.
That kid used to tower over me, but when I saw him a few years back his height didn't impress me much anymore. He doubt he has grown since and was still 6'8. I saw him in a bar and he wasn't the towering presence anymore as he was in high school. He was still the tallest guy in the bar, but there were many people who were very close to his height.

Hey Alex. Not sure if that question was directed directly or generally, but there were two guys in my high school who were really tall/big. Both were about 6'6" when we graduated, one was over 300lbs. The lighter guy grew to be over that, at least 6'7".

Alex: at my high school, the tallest I remembered was a guy who was about 6' 7 barefooted. He was super skinny though, only about 180 lbs which made him look really lanky and tall. Not to mention he had a huge afro which in itself probably added another 4 or 5 inches to his height.

"All I know is that there is an 80% those guys are WWE wrestlers. The big guy could be Kane, but he's got no mustache or beard, he could be Kevin Nash but nash (as far as I remember) has got no clean shaved head, so what does that mean?"
Ok, if there is an 80% chance those guys were WWE wrestlers (in other words, you have no clue) then one couldn't be Kevin Nash at all since he isn't even apart of the WWE. You said you saw a guy with blond hair and assumed it was Shawn Michaels, when Shawn's hair isn't blond at all. So even if you did see the Big Show, why should I believe you are accurately describing him at 6' 10 when you don't even accurately describe Shawn's hair color? It seems to me that you don't know your wrestlers very well, so I can't take what you say as a credible eye-witness account for anything. BTW, Big Show usually doesn't have a mustache and beard either, but it is possible that during his off days, he gets lazy and grows one... but then again, Kane could do the same thing for all I know. But here's another problem: you are essentially saying that you wouldn't know the difference between Big Show and Kane if you saw either one of them in real life. You just see someone tall, 6' 7 or over, and you just assume it *might* be the Big Show. You can't expect to be taken seriously like that.

I know what I saw though, if you know any other wrestler over 6'7 with that description then just give your opinion.

Ras: so you're saying you think the blonde hair guy was Shawn Michaels, when Shawn's hair isn't blond at all, but more like dark brown? You are saying that you saw some big guy with a beard and mustache but you don't even know who it is, but you assume it is the Big Show? You really sound like a really credible witness.

Well, yesterday when I was at Monterrey, Mexico's airport I saw a tall big guy with beard and moustache then I reminded the WWE where coming to Mexico (October 16, 17 in Monterrey and 18, and 19 in Mexico City) and it really looked like he was the Big Show with the shaved head and all. Then some feet away I saw I think another wrestler but only from behind, he had blonde hair with this pony tail carrying his luggage, I ain't sure but I think he was Shawn Michaels. Big Show (if it was really him) didn't look as tall as 7 feet to me, but close to it, I'd give him 6'10, I'm 5'7ish and I could reach his shoulder (or above it) which is about a foot or more thus he can't be 7 feet. Then the guy with the pony tail, didn't pay attention to his footwear but he looked 6 ftish.

I may be able to slam someone around 100lbs heavier, not 200lbs. I haven't tried slamming anyway very heavy in a while though. I should be able to slam someone around 300lbs.

KingNick that was when Big Show was hovering around 500 pounds though. Today he isnt much bigger than Khali and Khali will always have the more impressive physique. Are you telling me Khali wasnt impressive as well? Anyone I've heard that has saw him was in shock at his size.
Oh no dude Khali is definitely impressive, but Big Show just seemed much larger to me in mass. And I don't think he was 500lbs then IMO (tho he was billed that) def around 400 or over Click Here
It was more in terms of width I guess. Show seemed much wider. Khali's height astounded me more than anything else, the guy is like a walking tree.

I thought Kane's slam on Khali at Wrestlemania 23 was very impressive. It looked like there was a fair bit of lifting involved on Kane's part, and to rotate a guy with the dimensions of Khali is no small feat.

"After all a body slam is 80% the wrestler being slammed."
When Hogan slammed Andre he actually turned him 180 degrees, a full real slam. The only part Andre would help him on was the initial lift off, the rest of that was Hogan. Compare that to Lex Luger slammng Yokozuna. Lex simply lifted him off of his feet and basically just dropped him, he couldn't even come close to turning him.

Topdweeb, exactly. A lot of powerlifters are bulky but some are slim without much muscle shown, just very strong. I tend to train more for bodybuilding and size than just strength though as you get bigger you'll get stronger.
Last year for 2 months me and my friend did a powerlifting routine and I put on barely any weight and didnt get any bigger but my max bench went up 25-30lbs.

One thing I'll say about Big Show is that his sheer mass is more impressive than his height. I was at the Raw after Wrestlemania 15 at the Meadowlands in NJ years ago. I was in the lower section of the upper level, so everyone looked pretty small. But when Big Show came out I went into shock and said, "Holy crap. He's huge!" I've seen Khali in person, about maybe 20 feet away. He's definitely taller, but no where near in mass.

Alex: by the way, I once went to a weightlifting competition when I was in high school, by far the most impressive guy was someone who weighed 171 lbs. Not only was he pound for pound the strongest guy there (and actually the strongest guy I have ever seen pound for pound in real life) but I think he was flat out the strongest guy there regardless of whether it was pound for pound or not. He weighed in at 171 lbs but he had a 405 lbs max bench press, and a 590 lbs squat. I don't know what his dead lift was, but I'm sure it was impressive. Unfortunately, I saw him later on in another competition and he had lost some strength (maxing his bench press at 385 lbs) but I just remember how unreal he seemd and whenever he was up to lift, the entire audience got silent.
Anyway, he is a perfect example of someone who would be considered small and still stronger than anyone. He even out squated one of my good friends, even though my friend was a lot bigger, had huge legs and weight around 210 lbs but my friend could only get up 475.

Topdweeb, I agree with what you said. Back then you didnt have many very strong wrestlers except for guys like Hogan, Warrior. You also had a lot more fat guys back then than now. Back then slamming Earthquake was impossible until Hogan did it. I know plenty of guys in WWE right now could have slammed him. And Andre was never picked up other than Hogan. And now Big Show is getting F5ed, FUed, slammed, back suplexed, german suplexed. Imagine guys like Cena, Lesnar, and Batista wrestling Andre back then.
Its really not that people could not slam andre. its just that they didnt wanna make it seem easy or on a regular basis. They wanted it to be at special event, a one time thing. After all a body slam is 80% the wrestler being slammed.

Pressing Lesnar up isn't nearly as impressive as pressing Rikishi, as Rikishi is a lot heavier. And doing reps with Steiner isn't that impressive either, as again, he's not nearly as heavy as Rikishi. Besides, getting the guy up in the first place is the hard part, once you got them up, the wrestler can really assist with the pressing by putting his hands on the shoulders and essentially start doing a push up.
Alex: yeah, if you actually take a look at the Warrior and compare him to someone like Hogan, you find that he actually wasn't that big mass wise, he was just really cut. I don't think he was even close to being as big as Triple H or John Cena... he was just so cut for his time that it was hard to overlook that.
I just realized the guy who pressed Rikishi isn't even really considered a powerhouse. Funny because in the early days Hercules was considered a powerhouse but I honestly can't think of a single feat of impressive strength that he did. BTW, Andre was slammed by the Warrior.

I remember watching that match and I couldn't believe my eyes when he actually got him up. That's one of the most impressive presses I've seen in the ring.
Goldberg did a fair few good ones as well. He got Lesnar way over his head at Wrestlemania 20, and back in the WCW days he got Scott Steiner over his head and actually did 5 or 6 reps with him. It was crazy.

....Press slamming someone like Rikishi is amazing....
In this situation, the guy being pressed almost always has his hands on the other guy's shoulders, to stabilize himself and to push up when the other guy tries to press him. It's hard to say how much Rikishi is helping to push up but it's impressive regardless. The other guy must have a powerlifting background.
This isn't too shabby either. Click Here
Alex, Andre was slammed several times before Hogan did it (Harley Race, Inoki and Kamala to name a few), and not just when Andre was young. If the guy being slammed jumps a bit and also places his hand on the other guy's knee, the other guy just rotates him over. It still takes strength but not as much as you would think.

Press slamming someone like Rikishi is amazing. Rikishi (who's very agile for a guy his size) is probably not half as able to help someone out with a move like that than a guy like Kane can (who was press slammed by several wrestlers in the WWE). Plus Rikishi probably outweighs Stamboli with at least 100 lbs. It's also amazing for a guy like Rikishi to take such a blow.

One a sidenote, another case of a great display of strength. Around the one minute mark, check out what Johnny Stamboli does to a guy like Rikishi (who's billed at 350 lbs and probably very close to that weight).

Big Show: ironically, I think that's why so many people here are so skeptical of how tall the Big Show is. In the U.S., 6' 7 people aren't as common as you see them. So, when people here think of someone who is extremely tall like 7', they are expecting someone of jurassic proportions or something, so when a real 7' is seen, they tend to not believe it.

5'11 is under average in the Netherlands actually. The men average out at 6'1 there!
The average in the Netherlands was 183 cm (or 6') the last time it was being researched (I believe it was in 2006).
I'm a smidge over that mark and I do consider myself of average height around here (I'm Dutch). I'm taller than most old people, but the young ones seem to be getting taller and taller.
If you really want to stand out in a crowd around here, you have to be like 6'10-7 foot. I see people who are 6'5-6'7 nearly everytime I go into town.

5'11 in the USA is considered tallish and sometimes people will say it looks tall. Same goes for 6'0 and maybe 6'1.
Derek is right, it can throw it off and then the guys who are legit 6'0 claim as much as 6'2.

Well Clay, when he was referring to not saying many 5'11 people, if you read CAREFULLY you can see that he meant in HIS COMMUNITY, not the general population overall. No wonder there are some ****ed comments.... cause people can't take the time to READ.
EXCUSE ME, but Toronto, Canada is a very metropolitan city and by no means are there more short people there than other places in Canada, or the U.S. The kid is 13 years old, so I would take what he said with a grain of salt. I am 5'10" and there are many people taller than me in Toronto. I have been there hundreds of times.

5'11" is very average in the Netherlands or the Scandanavian countries. Here in the United States, 5'11" is considered tall. What throws it off is there are plenty of 5'10" and 5'11" people that claim they're 6'0".

Atoadaso: sure, but still, many people stop growing at very early ages while others stop very late. It's impossible to tell a 19 year old whether or not he is still growing or not, especially without doing some type of medical examination.

Guys can grow till they're like 21 or 22. I grew about .5" in college.
I think this is why the WWE gets away so easily with exaggerating heights. You guys said it yourself, a 5'10"/11" guy can get away with 6' a 6'1" guy can get away with 6'3" ...

No you're not considered to be tall. But that is a good height for someone. Are you still growing? The answer is: maybe. There's no way anyone here could definitively answer that question. Everyone stops growing at different ages. And by the way, the Big Show is 7'.

Sometimes it goes the same with guys around 6'0, 5'11 and 6'1. They can also be referred to as 6 footers. I would think if you're over an inch above or over an inch under 6 or 7 feet you wouldn't be referred to as a 6 of 7 footer.

During the Big Show and Khali feud they referred to them both as two 7 footers.
They say that very often. In the Royal Rumble in 2004 IIRC JR said the same thing about Kane and Matt Morgan (even though Matt Morgan wasn't even billed at 7 foot).

They did say ''Look at this, two seven footers''. Although someone could easily be like 7'1-7'1.5 and be called a ''7 footer'' that is common.

Khali's height billing hasn't chagned. The announcers just don't know for sure how tall he is supposed to be, so they give him heights varying from 7' to 7'4.
WWE.com still lists him as 7'3. JR tends to say 7'2 alot.

I just have a hard time believing the people who come on here and are like "Yeah I'm 6'7 or 7'0 or w/e". If anyone actually knows people of that height you know it's something that gets brought up by everyone they meet and frankly they get sick of it. Why would they come on a website like this? Obviously there's gonna be a few real tall guys swelling up with pride over their height but it just isn't that common a thing.

It depends on build. 5'10'' with a jacked, muscular build will look 6'0 a lot of the time but only when the guy is walking around in shoes. A plump, stocky 5'10'' looks shortish.

(P.S.) im bigger than all of you beccause i turned 14 like a month ago.
(P.P.S) that'll leave me in all actuality about 6'6" or 6'7"!!!

And as for the bigshow, many people say hes 6'11 or 6'11.5" since that was his height in college, but what you need to understand is that the man had gigantism, and that people like that continue to grow there entire lifetime so hes taller now then he was in college.
My buddy who I mentioned above dont even have gigantism and was 6'2" when he was 18, but now hes 23 and has grown an inch and is a legit 6'3".

around 1.25-1.5" difference between Show and Khali IMO; looks definite strong inch in their staredowns and Shows boots look slightly chunkier. Trying to guess anything else and we would need to see them in person standing next to each other.
Only way khali could be a solid inch over big show is barefoot. But theres roughly .5inches between them in ring gear

I still firmly believe Khali is only an inch taller than Show. There's enough pictures showing it. Big Show 7,0", Khali 7,1".

Well Khali has great posture because he was told by WWE to walk around like Frankenstein (lol), but when Big Show gets in his face his posture is also great and he has even gone on tippy toes before I've seen it more than once, giving hiom an advantage creating this illusion.
These pictures were taken from their staredown at Backlash earlier this year. Big Show is not on his tiptoes in any of these pics and his posture isn't nearly as good as Khali either. The caps below are shot-for-shot caps and his posture is the same in both caps. The close-up pic shows the exact difference in height between these two big men and the full body shot shoes us their posture as well as footwear.

Here's a shot of Big Show standing on his tiptoes (he does it when he walks over to Khali and tries to intimidate him).

He looks a little taller than Khali here, but when he has his heels on the ground again, he's about an inch shorter than Khali.
The 1-inch height difference between Khali and Big Show is not an illusion.

Clay: oh bull, the Big Show never gets on his tippy toes when facing Khali, and he might stand straighter with Khali than he does with anyone else, but he still doesn't have the posture Khali does.

Topdweeb,exactly. I dont like when people sometimes think the taller person is the one with higher shoulders which isn't always true. The top of your heads is the only thing that you go by when measuring. Khali's shorter head and higher shoulders can make him appear a bit taller than Big Show than he is but looking at the top of their heads its just an inch.

'Big Show' maybe you're biased based on what you call yourself but you're not factoring in Khali slouching (because he is taller, have you ever held great posture to stare into the eyes of someone shorter than you?) and you're not factoring in Big Show's huge boots which look pretty suspect.
Khali slouching??? Have you even paid attention to their staredowns? If anyone was slouching in all of there staredowns, it was Big Show.
Click Here
This pic is from the same staredown as the pic I posted a few days ago. Khali has a military posture and is not slouching at all. He is only looking down with his eyes. His back, legs and neck are straight as board there. Big Show on the other hand is leaning forward a bit, which he does nearly all the time nowadays, so it could be that he has a small curvature of the back due to his excessive weight gain in the past as well as the physical abuse he took in the ring over the years.
As for their boots, it's not like he has a huge footwear advantage there either. Their footwear look pretty much the same to me. But let's be generous and give Big Show a foorwear advantage of 0.25". Khali still doesn't have 2 inches on Big Show. My guesses are:
Big Show: 6'11.5 today (he would be a little bit taller if he could still assume a military posture, which he could during his peak).
Khali: 7'0.5

Benoit was 5'8'' and believe me fellas a very creepy and intense man.
I am basing these on barefoot estimates because some of the smaller guys wear lifts. I am 6'2'' barefoot and expected all of them to tower over me and was surprised when most didn't.

Analyzing pictures is not one of the strong points by some posters here. Here's a crash course for some of you.
Click Here
The height difference between Khali and Show is roughly 8.31% of Khali's head. So if it's a 2 inch height difference Khali's head would have to be 24 inches!
If it's 1 inch difference Khali's head would be 12 inches (that's more believable).

No that pic shows there is not a 2 inch difference between Show and Khali. And since is height based on shoulder height? It's not, it's based on the tops of the head.

Duncans 6'9.5/6'10. Its not a full 2 inches between Show and Khali based on pics but dont be so sure Khali's hair adds an inch who knows where the top of his skull is. Look how much higher Khali shoulders are than Big Shows. He is taller, period, and Big Show wears bigger boots.

Its more than an inch between Big Show and Khali. Show wears bigger boots with a bigger heel, and even then only when Khali slouches does he look close.

Topdweeb, its possible Big Show maybe could have lost 1/2 inch but I wouldn't say more than that. Its more due to his posture and weight. The lowest possible height I'd put Big Show at is 6'11 and if he's that tall than Khali is just 7'0. But its rediculous like you said with guys who are a couple inches shorter than him being billed at his height and Khali who is an inch taller being billed at 3-4 inches taller. When they face off even young kids probably wont see 3-4 inches.
JT, I remember once in early 1999 when JR said Big Show was 7'1 when he came out.
Sometimes they'll refer to Big Show and Khali both as 7 footers as well.

It isn't worth paying any attention to the billings JR and Michael Cole give the wrestlers. One week Khali will be 7,2" 420lbs, the next he'll be 7,4" 430lbs. They just make it up on the spot.

And he was listed as 7' 1 in college. So, I don't think Show is under 7' and though it is rare, I do believe WWE bills him at his correct, legit height.

Topdweeb, you're right. Today the wrestlers are more bigger. I bet if you guys like Cena, Batista, Lesnar, Kane back then, Andre would have been getting picked up more.

Kane needs to be billed at 6'10 or less and even at 6'10 it wouldn't match up to a 7'0 billed Big Show. Big Show billed at 7'2 and Kane at 6'10 is good like how it use to be back then.

"We're not talking about a cheap amateur promotion here, we're talking about the largest wrestling promotion in the world."
Dude, this "largest wrestling promotion in the world" that you're speaking of, bills men who are 4+ inches shorter than the Big Show as being the exact same height as the Big Show. It bills a man who is only approximately 1 inch taller than Big Show as being 3-4 inches taller than him. I don't buy for a second that just because it's the WWE, they have thoroughly and accurately measured Wight's height.
I remember when Wight as "the Giant" in WCW, Lex Luger once said in an in-ring interview that Wight was 7' 1", and that's when Wight was being bill consistently at 7' 4".
And then we see Khali, who has claimed before to be 7' 2 only has about an inch on Wight. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Wight was 7' 0.5" in his peak but lost 0.5" of height due to either posture, weight, injury, or a combination of the three.
Regardless though, I don't buy for a second that WWE is too "big time" to not accurately think things through or measure their wrestlers. I mean, if they want to look more legit, they would make everything proportional in the very least. Men who are billed as 4-5" inches shorter or taller than Wight when they are clearly not even close to that, isn't what I would call "big time".

Considering Big Show says he's 7 foot and looks around that height despite not forcing good posture then I see no reason to doubt him. He's probably around 7'0" or 7'0.5". From the pictures posted I'm not so sure he's a full inch shorter than Khali either.

Big Show: That's even assuming the WWE even actually measures there wrestlers. For all we know Vince could have simply asked Wight how tall he was and Wight just simply said, "7-foot". I mean, let's face it, it's a little odd that Wight is billed at 7-foot, so is Kane and so were a list of other wrestlers that Wight had several inches on. He seems to be the only one who legitimately is billed at his actual height. Why? Why not keep him at 7' 2 like they used to? Perhaps Wight insists on being billed at his actual height now.
When a guy that size comes into the WWE, believe me that Vince would know what his real height is. We're not talking about a cheap amateur promotion here, we're talking about the largest wrestling promotion in the world. Big Show's main gimmick was his size. They referred to him as the largest athlete in the world, so they probably would know how tall he legitimately was. They simply decided not to exaggerate his height.

Anyone else open to the possibility of Show being 7'0.5 and just saying ''im 7 foot'' ? He has said 7'1'' before and was described as over 7 feet by Conan O'Brien, Jim Ross and others.
Definatley a legit chance of that, Most of the time I struggle to see a full inch between Show and Khali... Big Show, Maybe when He first came, I doubt they measure all their wrestlers anyway, so maybe 7'0" rounded down or an estimate to begin with, If Khali is a legit 7'1" or better, I give Show no less than 7'0.25"

When Big Show arrived in the WWF in 1999 he was billed at 7 foot. There's no way a guy like Vince McMahon would bill the tallest and biggest wrestler on the entire roster below his actual barefoot height. I think Big Show was 7 feet on the dot (maybe give or take 0.25"), but I don't think he was 7'0.5. He would've at least billed him at 7'1 if that was the case.

Alex: you know I was just thinking of your comment. Back in the 80's in that WWF game for the regular NES, the only one who could bodyslam Andre the Giant was Hulk Hogan. And that was actually realistic because he was the only one in the game who could (or at least had). But yet, today, quite a few guys could more than bodyslam the Big Show. This all goes back to what I was saying a while back. Today's wrestlers are so much bigger than the ones in the 80s and early 90s (with a few exceptions, Sid, the Warlord, Lex Luger). I mean, back in those days as we talked about, Hercules was considered a powerhouse and today, he's not nearly as big as a lot of guys, not even ones that aren't considered powerhouses.

And that's stupid about SVR 2007 because even in their billed weights, Show outweighs Khali.

Kane looks 4 inches below Big Show there but who knows has the higher heel. Still Kane is anywhere from 6'7-6'8.5.
Armwrestling isnt all about size, but it plays a big part no question. The biggest factor I would say is wrist strength, the first guy to bend the others wrist and apply pressure usually wins. Khali is just SO MUCH bigger than Triple H its comical to see HHH ''winning'' that armwrestle.

It is pictures like that that make me doubt Kane is anything under 6,8". They're both standing fairly straight and I can see only 4 inches between the top of their heads. Kane is still a monster when he stands up to his full height. Unfortunately he rarely does it anymore.

Khali would beat HHH in a real arm wrestling match. Not saying this because his arms are bigger and he's more heavier and massive overall. Khali is stronger but even that you can't go just by because stronger guys can lose in arm wrestling to weaker guys since its not based on just strength.

mike: if you copy that pic and paste it in paint, and then draw a straight line from the top of Big Show's head to Khali, then you'll see that there is only about an inch of a difference. And, in that stare down, they had boots on that were the same size (that is from the 4 man handicap match). Again, Khali simply gives an illusion of being a lot taller because of his higher shoulders and facial features.
I think it should practically be a requirement to have a line drawn from the tops of their heads when posting a pic comparing the two.

Show has the same issue as Andre, his posture. Khali stands like Frankenstein and walks like him too. His weight does contribute in a big way to his poor posture as it did for Andre. His knees and spine are under a lot of stress day in and day out. When Show first came to be as "the Giant" he stood very tall.

Drexyl Big Show is definitely thicker and in all likely hood stronger. Although Khali has huge arms and shoulders himself and his hands are freakishly huge - bigger than Shows.

I just find it strange they would hype Big Show as the largest athlete in the world but still say he is 2 inches below Khali. Why? Because that probably is the case. Maybe not as much as two inches, but there is at least an inch between the two giants.
There isnt even 1".

I hear Khali has already had some leg surgeries, any height loss? And I hear he has terrible trouble with them. Danimal, If Khali is a legit 7'1" or better then I put Show at 7'0" no less. There isnt even 1" between them.

I expect he's also got some bigger measurements than Khali. Arms, chest etc. He's a broader, thicker build than Khali.

I see the height loss in Big Show's neck. The length of it is shorter than it used to be and no, that's not just because he is heavier. Even at a lighter weight, is neck is shorter. His back looks slouched a bit today and his knees look a little buckled. It looks like he is in pain, or at the very least it seems like an effort to stand tall for him nowadays, where as in the mid-late 90's, this man couldn't stand anything but straight and tall. He had 3" consistently on 6'10" Kevin Nash in the WCW, which would put him at 7'1" back then. Is he looking 7'1" next to Khali today? I don't think so. He looks like he is sailing at around 6'11"-6'11 3/4" AT BEST today.

Clay: Big Show might be an inch shorter than Khali, but he is also like 40 lbs heavier. Big Show once said in an interview that he isn't the tallest athlete in the world, or the heaviest, but when you put the two together, he is the biggest (this was when he was over 500 lbs though).
