Alex, I disagree. Big Show was HUGE ALL OVER and had a lot more muscle than Andre ever did, besides, if you didn't see Big Show on Leno AFTER he the WWE than you would be in for a shock. Big Show as bigger than ever. Severely obese.
As for Andre, he actually went up to 565 apparently sometime in 1992. He died at 530 pouds.
You can't really compare their two bodies. Andre was ALL UPPER body, while Big Show was large ALL OVER.

What I just don't get, is why doesn't the WWE make Big Show feud with Khali for WM? That would be much better. Basically, Big Show takes a year off, and returns only to find himself in an angle where he will lose at WM against a non-wrestler who is less than half his size. This is why I sometimes absolutely hate pro-wrestling. You'll never see a pro-wrestler beat a football player in football, but if they come into the wrestlers world, it's a guaranteed win to them.

None too shaby a photo at all JT, but with Big Shows boots and Khali doing the old 'head up' routine (taking lessons from Sid perhaps;)), still looks an open debate. Khali definitely has 1'' shoulder/eye level tho.

Yea, now they said 450lbs last night. First 400 then 430 and now 450lbs. I am saying he likely weighs a legit 420-430lbs and will just bill him at 450lbs.
I don't think Big Show got as heavy as 550lbs at the end of 2006 because he didn't look as heavy as Andre did at Andre's last years. Andre I read died at 530lbs anyway. He looked around 520-525lbs when he left though.

There's going to be a "weigh-in" next week between Show and Mayweather. I'm not sure if they can fix something like that, probably, but it should be interesting. I just wish they would make up their minds lol

how can Big Show weigh over 500 lbs and not look any more obese than Andre the Giant? Big Show still looks less obese than Viscera, especially now since Big Show lost a lot of weight.

Also Khali is so unathletic. Big Show was more athletic at a much heavier weight than Khali was too.

I remember when Khali and Big Show faced off for the first time, WWE.com only posted pics at VERY extreme angles to make Khali look like he was nearly half a head taller than Show. I don't get why the WWE does that when Big Show is the most comparable wrestler today to Andre the Giant.

Big Show, I remember it was in July 2000 when he came back from his knee injury where he blew up at least 50lbs he said then was sent to OVW. But in early 2000 he was a bit heavier than he was in 1999.
Alex 2, yea that or bill Khali at 7'1-7'2 because there isn't no 3 inch difference between the 2.
They can't decide on what weight to have him as. He'd gotta be at least 410-420lbs I'd still say.

I FULLY believe that he was a FULL 550 pounds back at the end of 2006. When he was on Leno he looked morbidly obese and VERY unhealthy. Why can't this man keep the weight off? He's what 36 or 37? If he keeps this up, he'll be 700-800 pounds in his 40's...

Big show will definitely put the weight back on. He looks around 430-440 lbs now, when he left he was well over 530 lbs, you could tell by the size of his belly and his legs and thighs were huge. I've heard so many stories about the Big Show's eating habits, you won't believe how much food the man consumes, he is an eating machine. I've heard rumours that backstage at big events he can clear large spreads of food. It obviously took the toll on his waistline towards the end of 2006, it was unreal how large he was. John Cena claimed he was actually 550 lbs even though they billed him as 500. When you think thats like 200-250 lbs more that the likes of taker, hhh and batista! The guy will get bigger!

In the Wrestlemania press conference, the announcer introduced Big Show as 420 pounds before he came out. Then, Big Show said to Mayweather that "I am over 450 pounds. I weigh three times as much as you".
So, no one knows what weight to decide on...

He had more muscle mass in 1999, but in mid 1999 he gained some weight again and his gut was certainly bigger than it is nowadays. Late 1999 he lost weight again but gained it back in the course of 2000, before being send to OVW.
Danimal I'm affraid you might be correct. Big Show has been having a weight problem since he's been a professional wrestler. He's lost weight on more occasions than I can remember, but has always gained it back. WWE isn't helping him btw as they're booking him on both RAW and Smackdown, which probably results in a exhausting traveling schedules (and probably bad diets). Big Show has quit smoking so maybe he can stay in better health a little longer. Big Show had tremendous back pains during his last run in ECW and was on pain killers most of the time. I think he realises how important it is to keep his weight in balance.
If Big Show would've wanted to be a boxer, he would have to lose another 50 lbs I think, as he's still not lean enough.

JT, yea when I heard Big Show down to 420lbs I was thinking of the 1999-early 2000 Big Show. Actually was 430lbs in 2000.

Michael Cole says 535 lbs. in that video so no one can get it right. He probably meant 435 lbs. Regardless, Big Show does look over 400 lbs. at that height. He's lost a lot of fat but I thought he would look leaner like in 1999.

Here's a video from yesterday's Smackdown. Listen to what the announcer says about Big Show. He ain't saying 399 lbs, but 430 lbs! I guess the WWE can't make up their minds what to bill him at? The WWE website still says 399 lbs.
Here that Vegas??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHA. Told you so!!!!!
Big Show was close obviously close to 550 pounds when he left in 2006. I saw him on Leno around this time and he looked OBESE. I knew he was around 430 pounds today. Mark my words, this man's weight is going to jump again, now that he'll be back on the road. All day eating for Big Show once again. some people love food too much.

Wow that's the first time I have seen the Big Show in wrestling attire since his return. He really does look slimmed down. I bet he'd look pretty muscular if he got on a weight lifting routine. BTW, I think it sucks that Big Show returns and will get stomped at WM. This is what I hate about pro-wrestling. Wrestlers sometimes get into a "wrestling" match with an athlete from another sport, and they always lose. It's like letting someone else bet them at their own specialty.

Big Show: They probably announced him as 430lbs as they still want to bill him as the Worlds Largest Athlete. If they announced him at 399lbs that would mean Khali would be the Largest Athlete seeing as he is a bit taller than Show and hes billed at 420lbs.

Thanks Alex. I've always been good at guessing someone's weight. I've been a personal trainer since the 90's and knowing someone's bodyweight is important when you're trying to see where this person wants to go with their body. I'll usually be within 10-15 pounds of a persons weight for men and 5-10 pounds for women.

Topweeb, It's going to be guys who are more muscular who get overestimated. Guys who are normally just fat will ge underestimated like my friend that I posted. I will get estimated at at least 210-215lbs while I am really 200lbs. When I was 210-215lbs I was guessed at 225lbs at least. Even when I was as low as 185 I was guessed at 200lbs at least.
Big Show, yea it would be great to see Shaq there. Maybe we'd finally see the 2 face off.
Actually with those 2 heavy friends I had posted, Danimal did come the closest by far at guessing them correct.

HI guys, i'm from Australia. I was watching the foxtel (cable) television sports channel. And they had an article on the upcoming Mayweather and Big Show match at wrestlemania. Now in Australia, we use cm rather than something foot, inches. Big Show was desricbed in that article as being 212 cm (6'11.5') and weighing 183 Kg (400 Ibs). Now, i've been watcing WWE since 2000. That sounds legit to me. I belive big show at his peak height was in WCW. I belive in WCW he was 214 cm (almost 7'1''). Anyways hopes this is to help for you guys determinign the showster's height.

Weight is more difficult to pinpoint than heigh. Being estimated 20-25 lbs heavier than you really are doesn't surprise me. There's this guy at my gym, who's only 5'8, but very muscular. I thought he was around the 200 lbs mark, but it turned out he was only 160 lbs.
Sometimes you can be way off with weight estimation. Remember when Alex posted a picture of a friend of him, who weighed 325+ lbs, but most estimated him to be 275 lbs. Big Show can be 399 lbs, but he looks heavier to me. I'm wondering if they're still going to bill him 399 lbs after the Mayweather angle.
Btw, on WWE.com Shaq gives his comments on the Mayweather/Big Show angle (in a very unenthousiastic way). I've heard rumours that he might attend Wrestlemania, let's hope he does.

Alex: Yeah, I am pretty built, but haven't had time to work out in a while so I am losing a lot of muscle and strength. By the way, I should have said that I sometimes get estimated to be 20-25 lbs heavier than I am. Most of the time, it is about the same as yours, about 10 to 15 lbs heavier. I've never had anyone guess accurately (by that, I mean within 5 pounds) unless the person tries to pick me up, and even then, it is often wrong. And that's what I'm saying. I mean, height is one thing to judge about someone, but weight is way harder.
Delux: umm.. obviously not, since most believe Big Show is 7' including me.

By the way no way is Kane his billed 7 feet tall, that's an insult to those who really are seven feet or taller (Show, Shaq, Khali)I give Kane 6'9"

Nice press conference of Wrestlemania. Big Show comes out after Mayweather has challenged him to do so. Mayweather was playing the heel here.
When Mayweather stands on a chair Big Show is still nearly as tall as him.

I think it is stupid that people think they can tell exactly how much someone weights simply by looking at them. I know so many people who look at me and estimate me to be about 20 to 25 lbs heavier than I really am. Again, it is a VERY rare occurance for WWE to downplay the size of their wrestlers, ESPECIALLY when the wrestler's very character is based on how massive he is.
I think it is stupid that people think they can tell exactly how much someone weights simply by looking at them. I know so many people who look at me and estimate me to be about 20 to 25 lbs heavier than I really am.

Big Show, yea it was up until he came back from that injury in mid 2000 then sent to OVW. Before then he was in better shape. I remember a time in late 2001/early 2002 where he looked to have leaned out a bit but then balooned up again in 2002. He also got lighter when he came back in 2004 but then again gained weight back.

I have followed this man's career for a while now, since his WCW days. They (WWE) have always billed him lower than his actual weight. Do some of you actually believe he is 399? Please. After attending No Way Out, I am fairly certain, he is somewhere between 425 and 440. Under 400, he is not. That is a gaurentee. They are playing up the whole, "he has lost 108 pounds in an effort to become a professional boxer" angle bit. During his last match in Dec 06, I believe he was close to his heaviest, at almost 540lbs (he certainly looked it). Bobby Lashley battled to pick him up several times, even with assitance from Wight.

In that pic with Shane McMahon from early 2000 not 1999, he's flexing his muscles so naturally he looks more muscular than in other pics. Big Show was in great shape in late 1999 and early 2000 before he gained a lot of weight again and eventually was send to OVW to lose weight. His matches from late 1999 were some of his best. He even did a dropkick of the top rope once. Not that it was a spectacular one, but for a guy his size it was an awesome sight to see him do it.
I still think Big Show was in the best shape of his life somewhere in late 1996 and 1997. I've seen pics of him doing a cable crossover and his arms were huge there.

Of course they would bill him LESS than what he actually weighs if the whole gimmick is that he LOST 108 pounds. Many people can do math Vegas and if he was last BILLED at 507, then do the math. The only thing is that during Big Show's last year in the WWE he had been gaining more and more weight. 507 pounds was NOT his final weight with the WWE. I read an article that stated he was 530 pounds. He looked even bigger than that.

Vegas, I would think the same thing. Why would they underbill him but he does look over 400lbs still though. 420lbs would be my guess. This might be an exception.
Danimal, I read 520lbs he really was when he left but close enough. Still over 500lbs when he left.

Now, he's 108 pounds lighter (according to himself) but is still very flabby.

Big Show is larger then a little bitty 399 they billed him usually on the 500lbs plus marker... But also think I beleive WWE was going to billed him up to around 420lbs but now he probaly asked them to keep it below or at his real weith above well.

Big Show was said to have weighed 530 pounds when he left the WWE in 2006. I think that is the most accurate assessment. Subtract 108 pounds. That puts him at 422 pounds. I think that is the MINIMUM he could weigh right now. Could be heavier, but not less imo.

Topdweeb, good point that I was thinking too. That Big Show had more muscle before too than he does now. Here is a video of Big Show in early 2000 when he stated that he really weighed 430lbs on the Howard Stern Show. He doesn't really look like this now either.

Danimal: well if you *read* what I said, it makes sense. WWE 99.9% of the time does not downplay their wrestlers sizes, if anything, they exaggerate them. Considering the fact that Big Show's character is about his size, it wouldn't make sense for them to make him out to be lighter than he really is. Especially after all of his talk about how much bigger he is than Mayweather. And, no I'm not having a bad day, am I not allowed to have an opinion that is different than yours or something? BTW, you of all people, shouldn't talk about others having a bad day. You tend to get very animated when someone disagrees with anything you say, you even often resort to personal attacks. I still remember you belittling Alex2 and basically telling him you think he has no life because you thought he posted too much and lived on here.
Big Show: Well, take your Mark Henry thing. Yes I know he isn't literally the world's strongest man. But you have to admit, it would be pretty weird if all of a sudden they started to downplay his strength and still kept up with the world's strongest man gimmick. As for the Big Show's weight. Weight it not that easy to pinpoint. It could be that when he was 375 lbs, he was more muscle, and now he is more fat. There are too many variables when it comes to weight to just look at someone and expect to be dead on.
MK: Yes he did, he looked just about 4 inches taller than Akebono that puts him right on 7 ft.

Big Show, I agree. He was leaner in 2004 and some of 2005 than 2006. He probably gained close to 50lbs by the end of 2006.
I do think he looks more around 420lbs like Danimal says.

Big Show definitely did not look 7ft next to 6ft8 akebono. Seemed to shrink an inch when the two were barefoot. Must wear lifts on that evidence.

Topdweeb normally I would agree with you, it's very rare that a WWE wrestler gets billed below his 'real' weight, but I have the feeling that they didn't bother to update Show's weight in his final year in the WWE as he certainly looked heavier than 507 lbs. He was weighed on TV once in 2004 before his match with Akebono and weighed in at 493 lbs. If it was a legit weigh-in we'll never know, but he was billed at 500 lbs, so if they were going to fake it, why not set the weight at just over 500 lbs instead of below it. And in 2004 he was a lot leaner than in 2006, I think he gained at least another 30-40 lbs.
Nowadays he slimmed down considerably and is leaner than he has ever been in the WWE. When he debuted in the WWE in 1999 he looked a little heavier than he is today and was probably a little bit more muscular as well. Big Show is still a lot heavier than he was in 1995 and 1996 where he probably was in the 375-400lbs range.
MK the phrase 'World largest athlete' is simply his gimmick, like Mark Henry's 'World Strongest Man' catch phrase. Big Show has been using this gimmick for as long as I can remember.

Strange that Big Show is listed 399. Why not just bill him an even 400, unless they want to bring to attention that he has lost weight. He looks over 400 to me still. I would say him and Khali weight around the same now; maybe Big Show has him by a little as I think his lower body is thicker.

Oh c'mon guys, if the Big Show is billed at 399lbs then that probably is (at most) his real weight. His entire character revolves around his size, height and *weight* included. Why in the world would WWE market him as being lighter than he really is when his very gimmick depends on him being the world's biggest athlete? That simply wouldn't make sense. And as it has been pointed out in the past, weight is not nearly as easy to pinpoint as height is.
Why are you low-balling Big Show, saying he is AT MOST 399 pounds! When he left he was around 530 pounds. I don't think he is a pound under 420 pounds today. You're doing the same thing with Andre, saying you're being generous with him being AT MOST 6'10". Are you having a bad day Topweed, because you'll be alone in your claims.

I think Big Show is LESS than 400lbs now maybe 350-375. It's hard to tell cuz I haven't seen him in wrestling gear yet but like topdweeb said, it makes more sense for them to bill him higher than his actual weight. I think he looks around the same weight he was back in WCW but even they billed him as 420 I think

Looking at the video at WM 3 I probably could see 5 inches now. Its just from certain angles it looks only 4 but Hogan was closer to the camera. But I'd say Andre 6'10 and Hogan 6'5 there then. They wanted us to believe it was a 9 inch difference though. LOL
Great, everybody agrees on a 5" difference. Here is the thing, Hogan was at least 6'5" barefoot back then and had thick-soled boots & possible lifts and was closer to 6'7" in ring gear. Andre had no lifts and thinner-soled boots and also compresses down into the mat more than Hogan, so he was closer to 6'11' and that was well past his peak and just after is back surgery. He was such a shell of his former self at that point.

Last night on Smackdown I saw Big Show in wrestling attire and he does look around 100lbs less. Now you'd think 100lbs less on someone should look more than that but Big Show was so big 100lbs less on him isn't going to look as much as 100lbs less on a normal person.
His arms still look just as big, a bit more cut I think too. His chest has gone down a bit, more toned though. His stomach went down a lot and also he lost some weight in his legs as well.

We have one guy like this a month, don't we?? I love these insecure 5'5" liar who claim they are 6'11.5". this guy is original, because he claims his brother is 6'8"!! Rob, you should call these guys on this and FORCE them to post pics of themselves, or else they get Banned for lying to US and to THEMSELVES...

LV i have been saying that about the haystacks/andre photo for the best part of 2 years, the shot is taken from behind haystacks' back for one, similiar sort of angle here rock is 3" taller than 6'4 conan, now rock becomes 6'7, lol Click Here i am very confident andre would have at least 3"-4" at least on haystacks in a proper staredown
topdweeb26, OOFatman here is haystacks with 6'3 akira maeda, the camera angle makes it look like they are the same height but there was about a 3 inch difference and this back in 1982, the commentator tried to pass off haystacks as having a full 10" on maeda there, he said maeda was 6'1 lol Click Here
here is an intesting shot i created last night, mayweathers head is only 2/3 the size of big shows, lol so if shows head is 12" long then mayweather is only ~8" Click Here

Vegas, it just appeared that Show was wearing some kind of lift in that match with Haystacks. I'm not saying Haystacks was 6'11", personally I would range anywhere from 6'7" to 6'8", but not having seen a lot of his matches I'm not one to judge his height very well. However, Show's boots just looked suspicious to me, that's all. I don't think Show was ever much over 6'11", therefore I would expect a 3"-4" difference b/w them instead of 5"-6", that is why I believe he was packing something.

Vegas, great point regarding your pictures of people with 5" height differences that aren't discernible from those particular angles. By that logic, we can throw the only Andre/Haystacks picture in existence out the window because its obviously very, very skewed and they could've had a 5" difference that was unnoticable due to the low camera angle and poor posture. It's clear that angles and posture play a huge role in whether or not a picture is valuable to be used to compare the height of two individuals.

Danimal, you seem to get very worked up when someone disagrees with what you think. I am in agreement with Vegas, Andre was at best 6' 10.
Vegas: if Haystacks is really 6' 7 at the most, then Big Show might not have had any lifts when he faced him, he might really just be that much taller than him. For me personally, I don't it's wise to think he had on lifts simply because Andre was barely taller than Haystacks, since I believe Big Show would have at least a couple inches on Andre.

frank: i answered your mayweather thing on andres page and he certainly looked 7ft with him, at least 6'11 when standing tall. on the subject of Andre, how likely is it he grew 1" after the age of 23, then lost 3 inches by the age of 40 (Wrestlemania 3), imo zero
danimal i haven't seen any proof yet of 6'11 and 7'0 billings. I saw a writer describe andre as 6'11 in a book, i saw a tabloid newspaper photo in england describe him as 6'11 too. at the end of the day i want to see proof a wrestling promotion billed him at 6'11 and 7'0, just like that poster PROMOTING wrestling does
you said; because bret hart and ric flair were billed at 5'11 by the WWE (again i never saw proof of this but lets say you are correct on this) they couldn't be any taller, of course they are billed at 6'1 by the WWE now so going your andre logic, bret and flair are indeed 6'1, agree???
you don't want to admit andre was 6'10 for one simple reason because then there goes your 6'6 for hulk hogan out the window (i know you will spit fury upon this statement and call me all the names of the world now and say i hate hogan etc but it had to be said)

OOFatman; before i started contributing to this website and when i was just a casual observer i saw people linking that andre/haystacks pic time and time and time again. Most were saying that proved andre to be 7ft because haystacks was a legit 6'11, i laughed because i knew full well none of these guys had even seen haystacks in action and were just hoping he was 6'11, my first contribution on andres page circa march/april 2006 was to say that big show towered over haystacks in 1996 by at least 5-6 inches, i got shot down for that and called an idiot by a few, before i posted my proof, and i remember who it was that said i was wrong ;) (it wasn't you btw) of course after i posted my proof everybody started saying show was wearing lifts in the hope that haystacks would still be 6'11 (yawn)
at his very peak in the early 1980s haystacks was 6'7 and no taller, i can post loads of photos to prove that, the videos of him on youtube have since been removed. here are a few though wait till the end with 5'7-5'8 mene gene is interviewing him, he has barely a had over gene there 11 inches there max Click Here
the guy in the red mask at the start staring down haystacks here in 1979 is 6'1 listed Kendo Nagasaki how much height difference do you see there Click Here
you cannot base an assumption of someones height on "one" photo which so many people on this website do in regards various wrestlers and other celebs, thats why rob does such a good job

Vegas, (or should I say Easter Bunny lol) he was packing something in his match with Giant Haystacks, no doubt about it. Haystacks was close to Andre's height. We have all seen that pic on OWW with Andre and Haystacks looking very close in height. Show had 5" on Haystacks in that match! No way would Show have that much on him if they were both barefoot!
Before anyone says it, I don't want to hear how Haystacks shrunk several inches in between matches with Andre and Show lol.

If you look at the footage from now way out when mayweather ran off into the crowd and big show chased you can see that Big Show was about 2 inches taller than the tall bodyguard. I say hes 6'10" 400 pounds. Big Show is 6'11.5" or 7'0"

Finally a good and UNBIASED comparison JT. I applaud you on that old friend.
Now that I think about it, I do remember Big Show having been 530 pounds by the time he left WCW in 1996. He was on Conan at that point and he was FATTER than ever before. That being said, I think he is a comfortable 420 pounds today. Remember, we didn't see him WITHOUT all that clothing. 420-430 is a good weight for him, but saddly, I think he's going to bring it back up.

Big Show: I am one of the ones who claimed Big Show was clearly taller, and when I said that, I was referring to the video/pics from the PPV. And I agree, he looks taller in that photo but it's not a good photo to use.
Why wouldn't the WWE let someone in the ring as tall or taller than the Big Show? Well, for one, it's because it kinda hurts the Big Show's character to have someone larger than him. Another reason is because there aren't many people who are as tall or taller than Big Show. And, Great Khali is as tall or slightly taller and thye let those two be seen together.

I don't see Big Show being taller than that bodyguard. Are people looking at the same pic as I am? The above pic clearly shows that the bodyguard is taller (even if Big Show would stand up straight), but the distance between Show and him and the camera angle makes it hard to estimate if he indeed would be taller than Big Show.
Thats a bit like the matt morgan/kevin nash photo where some people on here tried to convince us that nash was indeed 5-6" taller than morgan, draw a line on this photo and nash comes out about 6" taller due to high camera angle Click Here
the bodyguard is next to the tope rope there and show is in the middle of the ring so the high camera angle makes everyone further from the camera look taller, look how high the furthest middle rope is compared to the closest rope to the camera in your photo

One thing I do notice is that his neck is shorter than it was in the WCW, even at a lighter weight. It seems compressed now, like Hogans. Did Big Show ever have back/neck surgery? That could account for height lost (over 1" worth).
From what I remember, Big Show only had arthroscopic surgery on his knees in mid 2004. He never had neck surgery during his wrestling career as that would've taken him out of wrestling for over a year and although his back was killing him in 2006, he didn't require surgery, he just needed to loose a ton of weight. Apparently his back is doing a lot better now.

I don't know why WWE wouldn't let another guy in the ring who's as tall or taller than Big Show. No one knows how tall that bodyguard is (I'm thinking that 6'10, 400 lbs bodyguard is not even the really tall one, but the one who's standing directly opposite of Big Show) and WWE is hardly exagerrating Big Show's height. Remember, we're talking about a industry who billed both Kane and Big Show at 7' and even let them tag together in the ring, so that everyone could notice that Big Show was in fact a lot taller than Kane.
Let's hope Big Show can maintain his weight and doesn't balloon back up again. He's been having weight problems since he got into wrestling and has lost weight on multiple occasions but he always regained it back.

And Mayweather's supposed 6'10" bodyguard was in no way taller than Big Show, especially if you look at the video footage. Big Show towered over everybody in that ring.

Clearly one could tell he had them in the match with Haystacks.
he fairly moved around the ring for a 400lb guy wearing lifts and fell head first over the top rope onto his foot to make his achievement even more incredible, if he was wearing lifts in that match then i am the easter bunny :) best way to describe is this, get your girlfriend or a female friend to put on her high heels and ask her to pull of half the moves Wight does in that match, especially the top rope thingy, now if she doesn't end up in the hospital with a broken ankle or worse please re-write back.
haystacks just wasn't that tall, anybody that saw his staredowns with 6'3 akira maeda and 6'1ish Big Daddy from the early 1980s would know this, i grew up watching the guy every saturday on tv, his parents were born a miles up the road from where i was born, 6'11 was haystacks was a big a fudge as 7'4 for andre
as JT has shown haystacks was no taller next to mene gene than charles barkley was

One thing I do notice is that his neck is shorter than it was in the WCW, even at a lighter weight. It seems compressed now, like Hogans. Did Big Show ever have back/neck surgery? That could account for height lost (over 1" worth).

Is it just me, or does Big Show appear taller at a lighter weight? I still don't believe he is his WCW height (mid-late 90's). He was a FULL 7'1" back then. He's probably 7'0" MAX today with AMAZING posture and without 6'11".

Another segment of Show and Mayweather, this time from Raw last night. I read somewhere that the big bodyguard is supposed to be around 6'10 and 400 lbs. From the camera angles he looks taller than Big Show.

I read Big Show was up to 530 lbs before he left ECW. If he really lost 108 lbs that would put him around 422 then. He looked close to 7 ft. with Mayweather. I would put Show at least around 6'11" right now; cannot see him less than that. I think the reason he looked 7'1"+ in WCW was because of lifts. Clearly one could tell he had them in the match with Haystacks.

Mayweather looked around 4-5 inches taller than Mysterio who isn't more than 5'3.
Last night the first segment in the ring was a shoot segment I think but the 2nd one when Mayweather came back to the ring, that one wasn't.

Depending on Mysterio's biceps injury, they were planning for a tag-team match between Mysterio and Mayweather and Big Show + Shane McMahon at Wrestlemania. I think it's better if it was a handicap match though. However Mysterio will not wrestle at Wrestlemania, but will be involved in the angle. Perhaps WWE now goes to a one on one match between Show and Mayweather, with Mysterio in Mayweather's corner and Shane in Big Show's.
Btw. Mayweather only had Mysterio by a few inches in a backstage segment. And I definately think that segment between him and Show went the way it supposed to happen. Everbody is talking about it and I wonder if that was the case if he fake punched Big Show. The fact that he broke Big Show's nose can be a good build up to Wrestlemania.

The bodyguard really does about the same height as Big Show but the camera and position of them is a bit too poor to really tell. If you pause that video at around 5:02 it looks like Big Show has 1 or 2 inches on him, but his head is bobbing up and down so it's not accurate. Would be nice to have that guys name.
I actually think Mayweather meant to hit Big Show like he did, simply because he didn't just legit hit him with 1 punch but at several which left several marks on Big Shows face. He was probably supposed to pull his punches and fake hit him, but for whatever reason he didn't. Makes me want to see Big Show get revenge on that little **** Floyd - hopefully when they fight each other Big Show shoots on him a little and gets him back.

Topdweeb, indeed it must have been for real. I am not too sure why he'd hit him for real. To prove a point I guess.

The tallest security guard there does look within a few inches of Big Show. If you put Big Show at 6'11-7'0. I'd guess that guard at 6'8 at least.

Mayweather I've seen listed at 5'8 mostly and that puts Big Show at 6'11 bare minimum, likely more 7'0ish.
Looking at that video just posted below, Big Show looks 400-410lbs I'd say, around 100lbs less is very possible by looking at him now.
I did read he did peak at around 520lbs at his last run in WCW before coming to WWF in 1999.

Alex2 it was a worked shoot, the problem is that mayweather doesn't know how to throw a fake punch and his punches were too heavy, it made for fantastic tv though and looks so legit.
JT; mayweather is the most prized fighter in the world today, working in an angle with mayweather will give both the WWE and wight huge global awareness, which is what they want. Mayweather drew huge numbers against de la hoya something in the millions, Valuev is a nothing fighter really unknown in most of the world, this angle is already a million times better than the farce that was big show/akebono, that stunk up the place and nobody cared about either guy, all wrestling fans are talking about this

show has a badly broken nose and cut lip from the incident, shawn michaels broke his nose as well but thats not making world news ;) on the topic of mayweather he is listed mostly at 5'8 3/4, seems strange that you would upgrade someone to something and 3/4 Click Here
The videos of the staredown between him and de la hoya was alot closer that most photos show, they are eye to eye really so i don't see mayweather under 5'8 barefoot Click Here Click Here and Click Here
mayweather also had a few inches on ricky hatton who is listed at 5'7.5 at times, but mostly 5'7 Click Here Click Here
The security guard has the advantage of the high camera angle throughout, he is further from the camera in the high-shots meaning he will look taller just as the far rope looks higher, a staredown between him and show would have been great though, i still think he is close to 7ft, he is a huge huge guy.

Here's the video of Big Show and Mayweather. That security guard indeed is huge. He looks even taller than Big Show at certain parts, but they are pretty far away from one and other to make a decent comparison. Big Show looked indeed in great shape there and I'd say that 100 lbs doesn't look like it's that much exagerrated. He didn't look this lean since 1997.

Even if Mayweather is only 5'8", which I think he's closer to 5'9", Big Show has got to be 7'. Look at that huge size difference. Big Show had to kneel down for Mayweather just to punch him!

Actually little brother_h, he went up to over 520 pounds when he left ECW. This is a well known fact. Ask Alex. With that being said, he'll be more agile at 412 pounds. Lets see if he can keep the weight off. Andre couldn't. Lets also see if he has grown back to his WCW height, which I'm assuming he hasn't.

I didn't see No Way Out last night but I am happy Big Show is back.
From those pics we can't see a comparison with him and the tallest bodyguard though. But Show does seem 400-420lbs now.
Crazy that Mayweather really punched show. I gotta see the videos of that.

loads of photos from last nights floyd mayweather big show staredown, mayweather broke wights nose and left wight with blood flowing everywhere for those who don't know and then ran and wight chased after him, my god the dude can move for 400lb, he also claimed to have lost 108lb before the whole mayweather incident happened, watching it live on tv was surreal
mayweather is 5'9ish or 5'8.75" and about 145lb btw

Well No way out was interesting, this is something that happened: Big Show made his return to WWE at No Way Out tonight. His music hit after the match between Edge & Rey Mysterio had concluded. Show pretended to be a babyface, but then attacked Mysterio. Show threatened to chokeslam Rey, but dared boxer Floyd Mayweather, who was at ringside, to come in. Mayweather came in and Show shoved him. Show then got down on his knees and dared Mayweather to punch him. Mayweather legitimately punched Show two or three times, causing him to bleed. Mayweather then ran off. Show was bleeding heavily from the nose and mouth. Show chased after him, but Shane McMahon came out and calmed him down.
Oh and during the fake or legit Floyd Mayweather fight, Floys had a HUGE bodyguard with him who looked 6'7" minimum and stacked up very well to show, id say around 6'8 though, anyone know who im talking about? Thanks.

Alex, the tallest kid in grade 6 was 5'6". He had 8" on me and I was above average for an 11 year old. He was ridiculously tall at the time. He was 6'3" by 14 and when I met him at my 10 year High School reunion and he was 6'7" today. We did have a 6'8" basketball player on our high school team and the competing high school had a 6'11" player. They even had a 6'5" girl on their women's basketball team.

Alex: yeah, I went to a school that seemed to have unusually tall people. The guy in my 6th grade who was 6' at 12 was actually the tallest kid in our school. The second tallest (in my class, don't know about the school) was 5' 9. Don't know how tall he turned out either. But the 3rd tallest in my 6th grade class was 5' 7 and last I saw him as a senior in high school, he was 6' 5, so I'd imagine the guy who was 6' might have hit close to the 7' mark.

Topdweeb, when I was in 6th grade there was a kid who was 11-12 who was def tall but no way 6'0, but was still tall at like 5'8 or around there. I see him sometimes today and he's a solid 6'5 guy.

Thanks for the posts Vegas. Interesting how Big Show did not want to lift weights to get strong like Hogan when he had probably the most raw strength of anyone who

Vegas: that all pretty much ended the debate in my mind, I think Wight is a legit 7' minimum, not 6' 10 and not even 6' 11 but 7' minimum. By the way, I always kinda pictured you being from the U.S., where are you?

Alex: when I was in 6th grade, the tallest kid in my class was 6' barefeet at the age of 12... don't know how tall he turned out, but that makes be believe Wight could have been 6' 2 at 12.
JT: yeah I take everything Jason says with a grain of salt. I can appreciate skepticism, but his skepticism is often without merit. And, most of the time it seems like he downplays height just for the sake of being the antagonist.

Vegas, yea 11-12 is a 6th grader unless they get left back or something. Junior which is 11th grade you're going to be 16-17.
6'4 in 6th grade is crazy but like I said he said he was 6'2 at 12 and thats when he was in 6th grade. He also said 6'5 at 13 which would be in 7th grade. Still crazy.

i am not too familiar with the american schooling system (the various years are named different to ours) but from what i gather a person is between 11 and 12 years old in sixth grade and between 15-16 in junior year in high school????
according to an article i bought, Wight was 6'4 in the sixth grade. By his junior year in high school, he was 6'11 and 290lb. this article was printed on November 30, 1991, i will try to upload it some way or maybe email it to rob and he can post it here, in it wight talks about not wanting to be as strong as hulk hogan :)

Wichita were an NCAA college during Wights years, he was playing NCAA basketball at the same time as a certain Shaq who was also listed at 7'1 by LSU, so if Wight had gone on to the nba, there is a 99% chance he would have been listed at 7'1 there too
The Wichita Eagle Archive contains no photos, charts, or graphics so thats why i am put off paying the $3 fee to access each full article, i might buy one though

Vegas: you know it's funny. I have always heard people claim that at Witchita, Big Show was measured to be 6' 11, but they never provided any proof.
Wasn't that Jason, who is also the "source" for the 6'11.5" listing for Great Khali (who he said looked around 6'9" in person) in some bodybuilding magazine. Jason also claimed that Big Show played power forward, not center, in college.
Big Show said that when he turned 18, he was 7'1" and 318 lbs. I doubt he was ever a full 7'1", though he may have been rounding up from 7'0.5".

Alex: I would find it very hard to believe that someone who is only 6' 10 would get listed at 7' 1 on a basketball team. Like I said, basketball is a sport that is known to have tall players. If someone had a center at a legit 7' 1 and Show was listed at the same height but was really 3" shorter, imagine how stupid that would look. Even with shoes on, I don't see how Show would get away with 7' 1 if he were really 6' 10.

Lowest would be 6'10-6'11 Big Show would be to get listed at 7'1 but I think he was an easy 7'0 though.
Big Show looked those weights during those times.
I also read Big Show was 6'11 in 11th grade so he was 16-17 years old.

Anonymous, you are underestimating the size of Big Show's head.
Let's assume that Mike has an average size forehead which seems to be the case.
Well, that means that someone who is 6'6" would have their eyes level with the top of Mike's head.
Big Show's eyes look maybe 2 inches taller than the top of Mike's head, so that brings him to 6'8".
But, Big Show has a humongous head. His forehead is not an average 4.5", more like 6.5" inches. That gives Big Show an additional 2 inches which is 6'10".

By the way, it's not secret that basketball is a sport that is notorious for having unusually tall players. I think Show would like like an idiot if he were really 6-8ish but listed as 7' 1 for his basketball team. He'd be exposed really easily. Heck, even the centers for my high school basketball team were 6' 7 and 6' 8.

But all the sources you should from Witchita involving him, show that he was listed as 7' 1... which is also as tall as he said he was back in his WCW days. I think that at one time Show may have been 7' 1 but if that is a measurement with shoes, then definitely 7' for sure.

A couple of things, first, a read once that a year or two after high school that big show was measured at 6'11 390. Which I think was right. Second, something is up with the mike photo, either big show has really schrunk or mike is standing on something, if mike is only 6'1.5 then show is only about 6'8 tops, I've seen Nash stand next to 6'7 guys and be inches taller than them. A 6'7 guy walking by in that photo would be about the same height as show.

I can't tell that Nash is almost as tall as the Big Show in the first video because Show stays in the background while Nash stays in the foreground.

If Big Show really is just a 36 insesam then they are pretty short because 36 inseam is more guys more in the 6'3-6'6 range. Big Show's torso and upper body is pretty long though, thats why he is so tall.

I also find it hard to believe Show wearing lifts. Seeing this man in the flesh, makes it very difficult to believe that his ankles and the rest of his joints would survive the in-ring maneuvers. With that amount of weight (bulk), he would be far too unstable.

Big Show: Big Show would still be a legit 6' 11 or 7' next to Kane in that video if Kane is a legit 6' 8 (assuming he's not wearing lifts). Another thing Big Show, Big Show might be the one who started wearing lifts later to make himself seem even taller. Big Show, many people suspect Big Show to wear lifts. I don't buy Big Show wearing lifts though.
As for your name, not saying you have to change it, just pointing out that it makes for awkwardness. Especially if someone quotes you by saying something like, "Big Show once said..." because then it's like, "which Big Show"? But it's your right to keep it. Just had to say something, that's all.

The thing is Topdweeb, Big Show (The wrestler) was taller next to Kane in 2006 than he was in 1999. Which leads me to believe that in 2006 Kane wasn't wearing his lifts anymore. It didn't really make sense that Big Show (The wrestler) was wearing lifts as both were billed at 7 feet. I think Big Show (The wrestler) was a full 7 feet tall in 1999 (he certainly looked it). If you check out the various videos I posted of Big Show (The wrestler) and Vince, remember that Vince is supposed to be the same height (or at least close to) as Mike in the picture above.
As for my username, I've been using Big Show as my username for years now. It's a pretty popular username as most boards where I try to create a new user account, the username 'Big Show' sometimes exists already.
I could call myself TUFKABS (The User Formerly Known As Big Show), but I prefer Big Show. It has worked ok sofar, and I doubt there are any users here who think I'm the real Big Show.

Big Show: (first I just gotta say this. I wish you would have picked a name other than "Big Show" because it makes it awkward to talk about the Big Show when you're nick is "Big Show"). If Kane is a legit 6' 8, then that would about the right height difference, it would put Big Show at 6' 11 and you might be able to squeeze 7' out of it.

Here's Big Show's introduction in the WWE. He looks huge compared to The Rock and Vince McMahon. He definately looks 420 lbs there (and billed as 7', 500 lbs). Even in 1999 Big Show was on the fat side compared to his peak years in 1995 and 1996 (look at his gut) but he was still very athletic and his strength was phenomenal.

Topdweeb, in 99-2000 and most of his WWF/WWE career he was billed at 500lbs. I remember him saying on a radio show in 1999 that he is really 420lbs and billed at 500lbs then in 2000 he said he was 430lbs on a radio show again.

He is very impressive for his size. Most wrestlers above 400 clicks seem to be very lethargic and slow in general. Khali's movement is quite bizarre, it appears almost as if his legs are too long, and he's not quite sure what to do with them.

Big Show is highly athletic for being a man of his size. Khali's movement is more typical of someone of that size. I mean, look at Andre the Giant, he sucked. Big Show stands out for being able to move the way he does, but being as massive as he is.

maybe when he was 420 in 99 it was more muscle since he was younger. I think Khali is defentely in better shape than Show is as far as his phisique. Khali is actually alot slower than Show in the ring despite being lighter.

Alex, maybe he was lighter than 420-430 in 1999-2000 and they just billed him to be heavier at 430. I honestly can't tell any difference between Show's recent pic and the one above as far as his mass goes. I think he could have lost more weight than he did with the amount of time he had off.

Topdweeb, he is reported at being 420-440lbs now. He was 420-430lbs in 1999-2000 and was more muscular then so it doesn't make the most sense.

I can't tell that the Big Show has lost any weight, still looks like a lard-ass to me.

Alex 2, I was a big wrestling fan for years. I started watching in late 1990/early 1991 range, just when UT first came to WWF. I became more into it heavier by 1992-1993. My favorite years were from 1999-2002. It wasn't until 2004 after WM 20 where things started being inconsistant because I would always watch both Raw and SD. But still 2004-2005 were fair but 2006 and on was where it got badder to me. Plus some of my favorite guys started leaving and things just changed in general.

Alex to be honest i really think WWE is getting worse and worse but since im a hardcore wrestling fan i still watch it but i must say im a much bigger fan of TNA which is really good at the moment and has wrestlers that can actually wrestle and actually does get violent at times.

He def appears much lighter but not cut still. I remember when he was 420-430lbs in 1999-2000 he was slightly cut.

Big Show did not come back to RAW last night. It was just a rumour, but Big Show will be back soon. My guess is he will return after the Royal Rumble.

Here's an article with a recent picture of Big Show. He definately lost some weight, but he doesn't look like he's in the same shape he was in 1999 or 2000.

Well, they were billing him at 500 pounds when he WAS 420-430, so chances are probably, unless they do with him as they'e done with Taker, by being honest.

Humm, since Shows lost like 60lbs of weight, do you think they will still build him 500 when he comes back (hopefully tonight)

Paul, it depends on you frame and how you carry your weight. If you have more fat deposits, then you may need to shed a few pounds. If you have some muscle mass, 250 sounds reasonable for a man over 6'6". Tall MOFO, if that is what you REALLY are ;).

Paul thats a fine weight for your huge height (lucky lol) depending on your build. But that seems normal to mee :) I also believe JBL is more 6'6.5" also.

Big Show down to 385lbs? Wow. Last I read he was down to 420lbs and I think thats a good weight for him. 400-420lbs pretty much where he was in 1999 and early 2000. And then he had an injury in 2000, came back 50lbs heavier at least he said then got sent to OVW. Since then he's been going up in weight exept for a small part in late 2001/early 2002 where he appeared to lean out again.
But I am looking forward to him coming back since I've very rarely watched WWE since last winter.

Mr X do consider he is quite muscular which means its not as unhaelthy as if he was 7'0 and just fat.

Big Show is coming back to the WWE anytime soon. He's down to 440 lbs (which means he got fatter again, because when he was backstage at Survivor Series in November he claimed he was down to 420 lbs).
I was hoping for him to return at the Rumble, but that was highly unlikely as Big Show isn't going to win the Rumble and WWE doesn't want to schedule him as just one of the 30 guys. That might be a good thing, because it means WWE has serious plans for him.

Big Show could look 7'1" if he just straightens up, he does slouch due to bad posture, and at 35, it's not getting easier.

Actually Big Show is only 450 lbs. he mentioned 460 on a promo in Memphis last year before wrestling Hulk Hogan, Even at 7'0" or 7'1", 450 lbs. is obese, for any man. No man should even come close to 500 lbs. no matter how tall you are it's unhealthy.

Alex2: I don't really think Taker lost any height. I have some old matches of him on my computer and he doesn't look any taller back then than he does now.

Thanka Mark, glad to see there is some decent people around here like you and Alex. Since when do men like taker in early 40's loose height anyway? You normally loose height in 50's-60's, well most men i know anyway lol. And yes i cant wait for Big Show to return.
