UT has no more than 1/2 inch on Albert, thats if the footwear is equal. I see Albert at a 6'6 at least. Albert also came not too far from Big Show on some ocassions.
Does this change your opinion on peak height for Taker Alex? He does not look over 6'7" with 6'6" Albert in their 2001 Face-Off. Could it be that he was never really 6'8"? I still say though that he lost height after 2000.
BTW Alex, I've officially dropped 30 pounds!!

Not me. Kane sucks.

I'd like to see the pics of Albert where he supposedly is close to Big Show in height. Btw, is it just me, or is just simply "Albert" a really dumb name to go by in pro-wrestling?

There's nothing wrong with Albert's footwear in his match with Undertaker.
Pause at 2:11, big soles and inside lift, look at the shape of the boots...
Besides...remember how close he looked sometimes next to 7

Has anyone seen ECW last night. Big Show referred to Kane as 6'10 and Kane lost cleanly to Mark Henry, which kinda surprises me. I'm guessing since Kane moved over to RAW, Big Show will probably win the ECW title and mover from Smackdown to ECW.

Albert has a clear footwear-advantage. Barefoot I think a good 6

Taker is barely taller (I fail to see even an inch between them)and I don't think Albert had a footwear advantage there.

I wouldnt put albert as high as 6'7'' but i always seen albert as a big 6'6''. And alex2 where would you put albert then. Surely not 6'7'' or 6'8'' as a college football team wouldnt downgrade their players heights.

I don't think that BigShow is 213cm, at least he doesn't look to be that tall on this picture, lets say that Mike here is a legit 187cm (6/1.5),in that case BigShow is like 208cm, Mike is some 20 cm shorter.

Michael Cole referred to Khali as 7'4", this past smackdown I believe. Usually he refers to him as 7'3", and I have heard 7'2" as well. I dont get it.
Whats not to get, he's a corporate shill who's clearly lost any passion he had for profesional wrestling, and will say anything to keep us watching. Best not to listen.

I've heard them describe him as either 7'2'', 7'3'', or 7'4''. And Cena quipped with 7'5'' for Khali, lol. I thought I saw about 1.5/2 inches between Show and Khali back in 2006 when they first met in the ring, and lately of course no more than 1 inch between them.

Sometimes I struggle to even see a full inch between Khali and Show. When people start saying Khali is 2 or more taller than him, I begin to wonder if we are looking at the same pics, or if these people are looking at the tops of their heads. I can almost see the 2 inch different if I look at their eye level, chin level and stuff like that. But height is based on the top of the head, nothing else.

I dont see 2 inches between Show and Khali though. I read that Khali's legit height is really 7'0.5 and if thats true then that makes Big Show in the 6'11 range. Around 6'11 1/2. That may be a very logical.

You know I highly doubt Kane is below 6'8", look at him with Show, I highly doubt anything below 6'8" he also looks to have about 1 foot on Chavo Guerrero who is 5'8-5'9

KingNick: I think it is pretty obvious that WWE thinks its fans are a bunch of gullible idiots. And sad thing is, if you ask the average wrestling fan how tall Kane is, they would probably tell you 7'.
Again, it frustrates me because it really waters down Big Show, a legit 7'. It makes him not seem that special, because it gives the impression that 7' wrestlers are actually pretty common.

If you look closely at JT's pic Kane has some massive footwear going on. Also, he's standing up straight for once. I say he's still no less than 6'8" barefoot but 6'10ish in shoes.
I know this drives everyone else crazy too, but can anyone figure out why the WWE bills both Kane and Show at the same height yet Show is clearly taller no matter what the footwear??

No, from the eyebrows to the top of the head is about 4 inches, so I would say Show has about 4 1/4 inches on Kane. This makes Kane's 7' billing even more stupid.

The pic shows about 3.5 inches and about 3.75 inch max difference between Kane and Big Show if taking into account of Kane's extra thick boots.

Well he was billed at 7'2 up until late 2002. I am just saying bill him at 7'2 is you're going to continue to bill Khali at 7'3. That or have Khali billed at 7'1 and keep Show at 7'0.

7ft2 billed height for Show would be perfect, also 6ft3 or 6ft4 for Henry. Have no idea who is responsible for this, but this is just flat out stupid.

Alex 2, they're still billing Big Show and Kane both at 7'0. And they're facing each other for the ECW title so they're hyping it even more. Really needs a change. At least say Kane is 6'10 and Big Show 7'0. Its more than 2 inches between them but saying 2 inches is better than saying they're the exact same. I think since they bill Khali at 7'3 they should bill Big Show at 7'2 and just have Kane at 6'10.

Typhoon wasn't under 360 , 384 seems legit to me at his natural disaster epoch , maybe even more ( they didn't update everyday , i'm around 200 and can go as high as 218/220 in a month when i'm not pushing on the cardio so I guess a 350/400pounder must be able to give/take 20+pounds rather easily )
Big Show was no way under 7' at his WCW epoch , hell I'd even give him 7'1 when he was leaner ( around 380/400 ) he had 3 inches at least on Nash back then ...
But he definitely lost some height when he put on around 100 pounds ( due to having his pituary gland removed , prolly because HGH is the hormone that helps keeps you lean )

Alex, also Show never really has great posture anymore, I can believe in WCWhe may well have been around 7'1" as he was 1" shorther than 7'2" Ron Reis, but 6'10.5-7'0 today is reasonable.

I could swallow someone saying Big Show is 6'11 since it looks within reason like Topdweeb says and may be the truth. 6'10 for Big Show I can deal with even though I think thats the lowest possible he can ever look. Anything under that I just can't buy.

Typhoon was being billed in his 380's and Earthquake was being billed in his 460's in 1990. The Natural Disasters as they were called for all those who were too young to remember.
Alex2, just because Rob says something, it does not make it a fact. I doubt Rob ever met 95% of the stars on this site (no offense Rob). I HAVE met Bret and he was not over 5'11" and btw, that is what he was billed at until the early 1990's, where they gave him a boost to 6'1". Same goes for Davey Boy Smith, who they gave a 4" boost in height to.

Vegas: actually I am wrong. Fink said Typhoon was 384 lbs and Monsoon asked Perfect how many pounds, and Perfect said "486"... but he was obviously correcting Fink because Fink isn't perfect.

Vegas: No, you example of Typhoon vs. Bam Bam is wrong. I watched the match on Youtube recently, and the announcer announced Typhoon as 486 pounds. In response to that, Monsoon asked Perfect,
Monsoon: "How many pounds did he say Typhoon was?" And Perfect said, "486 pounds".
Monsoon: "486?! I don't think so!"
Perfect: "He wouldn't lie."
BTW, it is in my opinion, he had to really be 486 lbs, beause Mr. Perfect said so, and he was the perfect commentator.
Ola: He had to be heavier than 320 lbs. I have a friend who is legitimately 320 lbs, and he is only about 5' 11 and definitely not as big as Typhoon was.

JT, nice pictures. I swear I see 2.5 inches tops there and more likely 2 inches between Big Show and Kane in 99 but in 2006 you see a good 4 inch difference if not a bit more.

ottman was billed at 384lb by the ring announcers in the WWF as both tugboat and typhoon, loads of examples on youtube such as against perfect, bigelow, hogan, tenta, taker
the commentators as usual were clueless, monsoon in one match said "close to the 500lb mark" and perfect said 486lb

KingNick: Yeah, I watched it again today, and the announcer said Typhoon was 486 lbs. And Monsoon said, "How many pounds did he say Typhoon was?" Mr. P replied with, "486 lbs", Monsoon: "486? I don't think so." Mr P. "He wouldn't lie".
So I don't think they were in on it or something. The same thing kinda happened at Rampage '91 or something like that when the Undertaker faced the Ultimate Warrior. When the Undertaker came to the ring Alfred Hayes said something like, "This is a huge man, what do you think he is, about 6' 6 or 6' 7?" and Sean Mooney said, "Oh, taller than that. About 6' 9" and Hayes said, "6' 9" (questioningly)... in fact, when the UT debuted, the commentators were saying he was 6' 10 and Piper was one of the commentators, and he said, "6' 10? I don't know about that, but he is tall". Funny now that I think about it.
As for Typhoon vs. Bam Bam... it was an ok match... but we all knew who'd win. There were always wrestlers who were just one notch ahead of being a full-time jobber. Those wrestlers were: Dino Bravo, Hercules, Tito Santana, and Typhoon. What's really sad is when those guys face each other and one of them has to lose.. because the one who loses realizes he is the ultimate jobber.. that being Hercules. He's lost to Tito Santana, and lost all the time to Dino Bravo.. don't know if he ever faced Typhoon/Tugboat.

Typhoon was/is a huge man even in today's standards. He was about 6'3 (He wasn't that much shorter than Earthquake) and must have weighed close 400 lbs which wasn't all fat, he looked very strong and muscular too. Hi arms were enormous.

Are wrestling commentators not always in on the billed heights and weights or something? I was watching a match of the loser/jobber Typhoon vs. Bam Bam Bigelow on Youtube. When Typhoon was announced to the ring, the announcer said he was 460 lbs or something like that. Gorilla Monsoon said, "How much did he say Typhoon weighs" and I think it was Mr. Perfect (the best heel ever) said, "460", and Monsoon said, "460? I don't think so." Btw, I think it is kinda funny how you were considered a super heavyweight back then if you weighed over 350 lbs, but now it seems like that is nothing.

Ola,
Tenta measured with his shoes on?! Sumo wrestlers wrestle barefoot! Why on earth would they measure a contestant with their shoes on?? One guy even had an implant planted under the skin of his head just to be tall enough to become a sumo wrestler. That's how strict the rules are. You think they measured Tenta with shoes on? C'mon...
Danimal,
Piper certainly doesn't look anymore than an inch taller than Hart. If there is proof that he was more taller, please provide the pics. I really doubt people who think he was shorter than you think he was automatically hate Piper. I atleast dont' have any strong feelings about the guy. I just call it as I see it.

hearns looks a legit 6'1 there next to Jerry Brisco who i met in orlando in march and no more than an inch taller than neidhart, now thats a very very interesting find, got any with marty jannetty and neidhart, IIRC frank said jannetty looked 5'11 legit in person
ola; kurt angle was listed at 5'11 in the olympics and mark henry at 6'3 so i am not so sure i would agree that olympics do legit measurements. Sumo i would believe as we know they are measured and weighed and then fight barefoot thus hiding nothing.
K1 and UFC are entertainment. i would also disagree on the football, the last world cup fifa had peter crouch at <6'6; 197cm i believe which is stupid beyond belief, they had beckham listed at 181 or 182cm and crouch is more than 7 inches taller than him Click Here they also had dutch man dirk kuyt at either 184cm or 185cm and they play as teammates for liverpool every week and crouch dwarfs him by far more than 5 inches Click Here

There're your hatred for Piper again. Bret was MAX 5'11" and Piper was minimum 6'1". He had spinal surgery AND hip replacement and with all that, he is down to Bret's height TODAY.

So Piper was a definite 6'0'' peak yes?, yet today looks barely 5'10'', hence a 2'' height loss, surely this will serve as proof to anyone who doubts this could befall a much larger individual such as Haystacks, Hogan, Andre etc.

There is no way that the Big Show is 7 feet tall. Khali who is 7'1 stood atleast 3 inches over Show when they stood face to face a month ago on RAW. That and when Big Show approached Y2J he looked about 1 foot taller than Chris Jericho. If Chris Jericho is 5'9 than Show must be 6'9 or 6'10. I have a friend who is a legit 6'10 without shoes and him and I met Big Show here in Fort Myers about 2 years ago and they stood eye to eye. Can anyone else agree he is not 7'0???

JT, those pics don't depict a whole lot. They are too grainy to decipher much of anything. However, it could be the camera angle, but IMO Show's fibula should be closer to the back of the boot. If you have a lift under your heel it moves your fibula a little higher as well as forward. This is getting rediculous. All I am saying is that on the DVD I have, it definitely appears that he has lifts; grainy pics won't change my mind.

Big Show: wow, he still looks to be in great shape, especially for his age. I never really thought he was that "big". Like there were a lot of wrestlers more massive than he was. But, he certainly wasn't small, and he definitely had one of the most defined physiques in wrestling history.

Yep, That sounded pretty desperate there Ola. All of a sudden we can't take any backstage interviews in to account just because Tenta looks easily taller than you say he is.

this backstage interview cant be used to judge height out from(since they're standing on a box)... neither tenta or hogan is this much taller than gene in the RING. we can take off 2 inches right there
Click Here Think before you write:) Tenta wore some really thin-soled boots at that time as well.

Has anyone heard anything about the Ultimate Warrior returning to wrestling? I heard a rumor about it... will it be WWE?
He's returning, but not in the WWE. His return match is in Barcelona. I doubt he will ever return to the WWE, he hasn't made himself popular with the WWE with his rants against Vince and HHH over the years. However Ultimate Warrior did say he would like to face Vince McMahon in the ring one day.

Lets get something straight. He was TALLER than HBJ in the 1980's, who was taller than Earthquake.

Here's a match between Big Show and John Tenta from WCW 1996. I've also uploaded Tenta's pre-match interview with Mean Gene. And there's an interesting Hogan segment in between which features Hogan and some celebrities such as George Foreman and Shaquille O'Neal. The close-up segment of Hogan and Shaq is interesting as Shaq only looks 6 inches taller than Hogan (accounting the fact that Shaq is leaning towards Hogan). Hogan must've cowboy boots on. See some of the pics below.

Alex & Frank: So are we in agreement that if a 7' person was being billed as 7' 4 or 7' 5, then it would make sense that they would wear lifts? I take everything Jason says with a grain of salt. Even Ola gives Big Show 6' 11. I think Jason often just tries to stir up controversy, and at times, just purposely downgrades people for no reason at all.

But really Andre had 5 inches max on Hogan at WM 3, more likely closer to 4 inches.
Andre was still around 6'11" to me in 1987. Hogan was 6'6", so yeah, 5" makes sense.

I'm not sure if Big Show lost height. I think like Andre his posture deceives it to looking like he has. For example, my cousin is 6'1". I'm 5'10.5". When he stood next to me, there only looked like a 1" difference. Then his mother yelled at him to, "Stand up straight!" and he did, THEN you could see the larger difference. I think it's the same case with Big Show and most tall wrestlers who've been around for a long time. Big Show may very well be 6'9.5" or so with bad posture, but if he were to actually stand up straight he's probably 6'11" to 7' (I think 6'11"). Even in this pic here Click Here he's not wearing any ring gear but he still can't stand completely straight as he could ten years earlier.
JT, sorry buddy, but Show's shoes in 1996 look like they give a boost to me. 2"? I dunno if I'd go that far, but I would say 1.5" compared to that other pic you got from Vegas with the shoes.

That would be a 9" height difference Alex. Andre was ONLY billed at 7'5" from 1983-1984 onwards.

I don't think Big Show wore lifts in WCW. He did wear some good-sized boots. He looked taller because he was alot leaner and the WCW ring is also a lot smaller.
Look at the end of video to see Kevin Nash and Big Show. Keep in mind that Kevin Nash has flatter footwear:

Jason: first, times have changed. In our current time, there are way too many taller wrestlers for a 7' wrestler to get away with a 7' 4 billing without wearing lifts. I mean, even in Andre's day, he couldn't get away with it (granted he wasn't 7', but he was close). And, I think Paul Wight probably did convince most of the TV audience who didn't pay much attention, into thinking he was 7' 4. But to those who actually put some thought into it, probably didn't believe it. Like I said, people who are most likely to believe in billed heights, are people who know "of" the wrestlers, but never actually seen them much. It only took my gf about two seconds to figure out Andre wasn't 7' 5 at WM 3, and she had never really seen Andre before then.
Alex: that's what I'm saying. People seem to think that just because a wrestler is tall, they can get away with any height. They can to a certain extent. But exaggerating someone by 4 or 5 inches is a significant amount to exaggerate them by. Giant Gonzalez got away with hit, because being 7 1/2 feet tall is so unusual looking, that people were just mesmorized. Being 7' is tall, especially compared to the general population, but like I said, it's not so tall that they can get away with 4+ inch exaggerations.
It didn't take any of use long to figure out Khali wasn't 7' 3, and especially not after he went face to face with the Big Show.

And personally I am not even sure Big Show lost any height. He's only 36 years old but maybe 1/2 inch he could have lost for whatever reasons. I think it's mainly due to to the fact he was leaner in WCW, and had lifts at times. Also in 1999-2000 he had better posture than he does now. NOw Andre I think easily lost around 2 inches of height going from a 6'11 peak down to 6'9ish.

Someone that's 7'0'' wouldn't need lifts for a 7'4'' billing. There's a couple here who think a wrestler has to actually be their billed height, or almost, in boots + lifts -- it pretty much just has to make the TV audience think they're it or something like it. Then there's the listings where you don't know what they were on when they came up with them. So many people would think someone that tall in person is 7'4'' (or more), anyway...

The funny thing is with Andre was he never even wore big soled shoes. They just billed him as 7'4" when in reality he wasn't anywhere near that. I'm a firm believer of Andre hitting the 7' mark at one point, but the point is other than the whole box thing they never tried to make him appear any larger. Maybe the box thing just solidified it in people's minds. Also, there werent too many guys measuring up to Andre back then. Really Hogan and Studd were the two tallest guys of those eras next to Andre. Nowadays you have guys like Undertaker, Kane, Kevin Nash, etc. So you can't really get away with billing a guy as 7'4" who's actually 7', such as Paul Wight, without foot enhancement.

Why would a tall person wear lifts? Silly questions really. You can always make something big appear bigger or in some cases, someone small can appear average. A legit 7 footer can be 7'2" ot 7'3" with thick boots and insole lifts.

Topweed26,
You are right. Anybody who really paid attention probably figured out that Andre really wasn't 7'5. However in those days people believed what the WWF told them alot more than today. Therefor I think many people probably didn't really question any height listings and didn't pay too much attention to such things.
The height Andre is remembered as is 7'4. That's the height he is always given when he is mentioned and most people who are not Obsessed With Heights probably believe it was legit. Hell, at the Andre page whe have general93 still insisting that the 7'4 was his real height.
People want to remember him as a larger-than-life figure and when asked "Who was the tallest wrestler ever?" some people will still say "Andre the Giant". He was certainly one of the largest considering both height and weight, though.

Ghost: I don't now ANYONE who is a wrestling fan who is familiar with Andre's matches, who literally believe he was really 7' 5. In fact, just take WM 3 for example. Even IF Hulk was his very exaggerated 6' 8, there is no way in hell Andre would be 7' 5, at BEST he looked like he was 7' IF Hulk was a legit 6' 8. In fact, once while I was watching that match, my gf saw them stare down, and she said, "that guy isn't 7' 4, he's barely taller than Hulk Hogan". And she doesn't even watch wrestling. The ONLY people I have ever see that believe Andre is 7' 4, are people who know of him, but haven't really watched him. When we were kids, my sister used to think Andre had to be on his knees for the Princess Bride because even she thought he didn't look that tall. You get my drift? Andre, being around 6' 10, can NOT, and did NOT successfully pass off as 7' 4. He fooled no one who actually paid attention.
Frank: I'm not sure that aren't on the same page. They put Andre on the box because they knew he couldn't pass off as 7' 4/5. I understand that the taller you are, the easier it is to be passed off as being taller. BUT, 7 isn't quite in the range of "bill him as anything". For example, would you believe Khali is 7' 7? Really? I wouldn't. In fact, ever since his debute, there have been people questioning whether or not he is really even 7', like Jason. You met the Undertaker. For the sake of argument, say he is around 6' 8. Could he fool you into thinking he was a legit 7' 2 or even 7' 3 without the aid of lifts? You see where I am coming from?
Heck, from the day I saw Paul Wight, I didn't believe he was 7' 4. I could have bought 7' and maybe even 7' 2, but not 7' 4.
My point is, the reason these guys are in lifts is because they aren't tall enough to reasonably pass of as their billed heights. I mean, who believes Kane is 7' ?
The REAL question should be: why does the wrestling industry feel the need to exaggerate their performers, especially ones who are 7' and above? Who wouldn't be impressed with someone who is 7', why the need to make him 7' 4/5?

In fact, once while I was watching that match, my gf saw them stare down, and she said, "that guy isn't 7' 4, he's barely taller than Hulk Hogan". And she doesn't even watch wrestling. The ONLY people I have ever see that believe Andre is 7' 4, are people who know of him, but haven't really watched him. When we were kids, my sister used to think Andre had to be on his knees for the Princess Bride because even she thought he didn't look that tall. You get my drift? Andre, being around 6' 10, can NOT, and did NOT successfully pass off as 7' 4. He fooled no one who actually paid attention.
Frank: I'm not sure that aren't on the same page. They put Andre on the box because they knew he couldn't pass off as 7' 4/5. I understand that the taller you are, the easier it is to be passed off as being taller. BUT, 7 isn't quite in the range of "bill him as anything". For example, would you believe Khali is 7' 7? Really? I wouldn't. In fact, ever since his debute, there have been people questioning whether or not he is really even 7', like Jason. You met the Undertaker. For the sake of argument, say he is around 6' 8. Could he fool you into thinking he was a legit 7' 2 or even 7' 3 without the aid of lifts? You see where I am coming from?
Heck, from the day I saw Paul Wight, I didn't believe he was 7' 4. I could have bought 7' and maybe even 7' 2, but not 7' 4.
My point is, the reason these guys are in lifts is because they aren't tall enough to reasonably pass of as their billed heights. I mean, who believes Kane is 7' ?
The REAL question should be: why does the wrestling industry feel the need to exaggerate their performers, especially ones who are 7' and above? Who wouldn't be impressed with someone who is 7', why the need to make him 7' 4/5?
Alex said on 21/May/08
Ghost, thats very true. Its way harder for a 6'0 to get away with 6'4-6'5 while a legit 7'0 can pass for 7'4-7'5.
I have even gotten 6'4 just once but really at 6'0 someone is going to have to be a big time overestimator to guess you are more than 6'2.

Wight's 7'4'' wcw billing was obviously made proportionate to guys like 6'7'' Hogan, 6'9'' One man gang etc, the thick heels were probably to make sure of this.

Topdwweeb i usually agree with you but why Put Andre on a Box in an interveiw with Vince when your as Big as Andre was I can believe Show wore lifts and the taller you are its easier to exaggerate height example Giant Gonzalez 7ft 6 and billed at almost 8ft seem hin in person could have looked 8 ft i dont know what 8ft looks like

Why would a 7'0'' guy need to wear lifts...?
To pass off for 7'4! But seriously I don't think Big Show wore lifts. He wore boots with big soles, but I doubt he wore lifts.

However when you're 7 ft it's alot easier to get away with being 4-5 inches taller than if yor 6 ft. People used to buy 7'5 for 6'10 Andre.
Steve Carrell estimated Khali at 7'7 or something.

Jason: you know, sometimes I don't even get your comments. You ask, "Why would a 7'0" guy need to wear lifts...?" and I'm just sitting here thinking, "Are you serious?" I mean Paul Wight was being billed as 7' 4, and at times, 7' 5. I dont' care if he is a legit 7', there's no way he'll fool people into thinking he is 7' 4 or 7' 5... he can't even do that with lifts, let alone without them.
Imagine someone who is 6' trying to be passed off as 6' 4 or 6' 5. It just isn't gonna happen without the aid of lifts, and even then, it will look suspicious.
You can't figure that out for yourself? Really?

topdweeb26, I also had heard of his supposed 6-11 listing in basketball. Even though he appeared much taller in WCW, i KNOW lifts had to do with it. I was just re-watching his match with Hogan in Sturgis and his lifts are clear as day. They looked about 2". Personally, I believe he is 6-11 today. IMO he WAS a legit 7-0 when he was younger.

Coat size isn't going to be your chest size though. I can wear a 46 coat but my chest size is only about 43 inches or just under. But a size 70 coat would def put his chest around 65 inches which I believe.

Alex: well, that pic they chose to use does definitely make Khali look taller, but not by 3 inches... but in the ring, they look closer in height. I think they manipulated the wrestlers to make Khali appear a bit taller to the Big Show than he really is. I think the shortest Big Show could ever be argued to be is 6' 10.5 since the shortest listing ever for Khali is 6' 11.5.
Although Vegas' links showing how Big Show was listed as 7' 1 in college ball pretty much cements it in my mind that Big Show had to be at least 7'. Which is also kind of weird, because I used to always hear rumors that Big Show was listed as 6' 11 in college basketball, but no one ever offered any proof. But then when someone (Vegas) shows actual listings, he is not only taller than 6' 11, but he is listed as taller than 7'.
I still believe Big Show is a legit 7' in barefeet.

Big Show, that tale of the tape with Big Show and Khali gets me annoyed. They have them face to face looking no more than an inch apart yet they still have them at 3 inches apart. 67 chest for Big Show? I read it was 62 and 65 on difference occasions. I'd also think Big Show's fists are a bit bigger than Khali's or at least the same.

LV, you should post those two pics on Hogan's page and then PLEASE include the recent pic of him and Hilbilly Jim, where Hogan is 2" shoter than him. I want to see Vegas, JT and Ola squirm baby!!!

Here's something interesting. It's the ending of Superbrawl VI where Big Show (as the Giant) has a steel cage match with Hulk Hogan. In the end the steel cage gets swarmed by big men like The One Man Gang, John Tenta and Giant Haystacks. Haystacks looks to be the tallest of them all. He and The One Man Gang could be twin brothers. Unfortunately the video has no sound, so I've only uploaded the last part where the big men come in.

I agree about Hogan's height. I've been pretty consistent and think Hogan was just shy of 6'6" barefoot (my guess is 6'5 3/4"). I think he was easily 6'7" in ring gear. That's why Andre never had more than about 5" on him plus Hogan's boots were typically thicker. I think he's around 6'4" now.

Here's a match of Big Show vs. Jim Duggan from 1996. Big Show looks a hell of a lot taller than Duggan. That chokeslam at the end looks pretty cool, he holds a big guy like Duggan up in the air for a few seconds before dropping him to the mat.

In the first pic of Hogan and Hillbilly Jim Hogan is much closer to the camera giving him atleast an inch of advantage.
I believe Jim was and pretty much is 6'5. Maybe Hogan waas a hair taller, but not much.

Ola , There is a picture on Jim's site where Hogan looks alittle taller
but we dont see Hogans foot wear ??
Yes we do?? Hogan is in TWO pics with HBJ on his website. One from 1985, where Hogan is taller (decked out in white) and the other from 1989, where it's HBJ, Ed Leslie and Hogan. Hogan towering Ed and again, taller than HBJ and in that pic we DO see his shoes. There is yet ANOTHER pic of them from 1985 where Hogan has his arms around Hilbilly. Hogan is in a cut sleeve blue jogging tank top. Yet again, Hogan is taller. There was a reason he was billed 6'8" and Hilbilly 6'7". Legit height were 6'6" and 6'5" respectively. What's most interesting and sad is to see the recent pic of Hogan next to HBJ on his page, where Hogan is about 2" shorter than HBJ. That sealed the deal for me when I saw that on there 2-3 years ago.

Ola,
So Tenta lost height but Andre never did? Remember that Earthquake always wore very flat boots atleast in his WWF days.
I remember Tenta saying that he used to be 6'7 but had gone down to 6'6. That seems to be a bit of a stretch.

We know that Tenta appeared shorter than Hilbilly Jim and YET Hogan was taller than Hilbilly in the 1980's. Would have loved to see a PRIME Hogan have a face-off with a beaten down 2008 Big Show. He would have matched up to him the way he matched up to Andre in 1987.

That's a great pic Vegas. It looks like around 1997-1998 or so, as Big Show's starting to put on some weight. Tenta was only in his mid-30s then. That kid's probably around 5'7"-5'8". Tenta and Haystacks would have matched up well height-wise, with Tenta at most an inch shorter. Click Here

Ola,
You seem to act like like every measurement ever was a fraud. there are legit measurements. Tenta being measured as 6'5.75 is one of those. In sumo they measure and weigh every contestant. It's not like the WWF where they just announce an overblown height and weight billing. Tenta being measured as almost 6'6 in sumo is alot better evidence of his height than how tall he appeared next to Hogan or warrior in the ring.
Also Bigh Show WAS listed 7'1 in college football. I think he could have been 7'05 in his prime.
And saying Mamun is 5'6,5 is ridicolous. Why would he lie? You just seem to deperately want everybody to shorter. It's strange.

I remember distinctly him saying that he his cancer that was in remission had just resurfaced, but that he was going to beat it for good this time and he was SO optomistic. It's really sad to know that it got the better of him. Whether he was 6'4", 6'5" or 6'6" he had a HUGE heart and had such courage. That is what he should be remembered by.

Danimal, thats the thing, When you bulk up you're going to have higher body fat. Thats why I kidna fear of getting to 220-225lbs since I know I'd end up being at least 16-17% body fat. Right now I am 11-12% so if I could get up to 205-210lbs without putting on any body fat which would be tough then I'd be happy.
So this girl is into working out a lot? The whole dieting thing or just naturally in good shape? How does she look?

You are now saying Tenta was 6' 4 even though LSU said he was recently measured at 6' 6. But, if you noticed, Tenta looks slightly taller than Vegas' 6 '4 friend... I suppose now you're going to say that know his friend better than he does, and his friend is really only 6' 2. Hell, while we're at it, we might as well all forget about measuring ourselves, we should just simply go by what you say our height is.

Nice find there Vegas, I've been looking for Big Show's match with John Tenta for some time now to see how they measure up against each other. They squared off against one and other on Nitro in July 1996. Although the pic is clearly from a later date as Big Show was a lot leaner in 1996.

Vegas: that makes sense, based on that pic, it does look like he slightly edges out your 6' 4 friend, so I think it's accurate. And that LSU article said he was recently measured at 6' 6, so he had to be close to that.. amazing how tiny he looks compared to Wight. I mean, he Tenta wasn't a small man by any means, but Wight makes him look short and Wight is so massive, that he makes "Earthquake" look more like a tremor.

Because I know most of you won't believe me otherwise, which I don't blame you. One thing I have thought about and noticed though, is that he doesn't seem to suffer from acromegaly. Like he doesn't have any of the facial feature associated with acromegaly, and he walks normally, not like Khali, but more like Big Show. I think he is just naturally that tall without any disease.

Alex, I got up to 220 pounds in November. I just started dating this new very hot girl, who is in SICK shape, so, I've decided to cut back a little bit and am now down to 205 pounds. For my height and muscle mass, I think a perfect weight for me is somewhere between 180 and 190 pounds. At a higher bodyweight, I have larger measurements (17 3/4" bicep, 47" chest, 27" thighs), but my bodyfat count is too high.

Right now I actually lost a bit of weight and went from 200lbs down to 195lbs but I was thinking maybe of getting to 220-225lbs but then risking putting on some body fat but I'd now rather get to 205-210lbs but put on pure muscle.

Alex, I hit 5'9 3/4" today right out of bed! I haven't seen this height in 3 years. I was consistently either 5'9 3/4, 5'9 7/8 or 5'10" up until 27. Since then, my tallest was 5'9.5" (until recently that is). Now I was 5'9 5/8" a week ago and 5'9 3/4" over the weekend!! I'm growing at 30, or at least regaining some of my lost height!!

Big Show: more than likely. Remember Kane is billed at 7' and he is most likely 6' 7 or 6' 8. Big Show is probably the only legit 7' footer who is billed at 7'.
