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

It will be interesting to see how Khali stacks up with Big Show now size wise. Show looked 100+ pounds heavier in 2006.

Perhaps the WWE just wants to promote a LEANER Big Show. After all, 399 lbs sounds a lot less than 400 LOL.

How can Big Show Still claim to be ''the worlds largest athlete'' when Khali is now billed as taller and heavier

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.

Big Show, thats what I was thinking pretty much too. This is very rare but a wrestler weighing more than his billed weight.

Big Show is now listed at 399lbs on WWE.com. Maybe they're being more honest with his weight or something now because he still looks at least around 400lbs.
When he left the WWE in December 2006 he was billed at 507 lbs and now he claims to have lost 108 lbs, so the 399 lbs are easily explained. I think he was slightly heavier than 507 lbs when he left the WWE and is somewhere around 400-420 lbs nowadays.

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.
Agreed

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.

At WM 3 I saw 4 inches between Hogan and Andre actually.
Andre was at least 6'11 I think at his peak, still a little shorter than Big Show I think.

Big show is 7' tall on the mark but listed 6'11 3/4" on another site.
BTW, I stand 6'11.75". Big Show was 6'2" at 12 and 6'8" at 14, he must have peaked early, I was 6'8" at 16, my brother was 6'8" at 15 1/2.
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"!!

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"

Do you think the WWE ordered Big Show to lose weight and that's the reason why he left, to do just that? I believe the same thing happened with Yokozuna.

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.

the wwe also wouldn't have any say in the matter, mayweather would not step in a wwe ring with 20,000 rabid wrestling fans that close to him with his top security guy not there, a guy who could take out about 10 fans at once if they were stupid enough to try and jump mayweather, i have been to a number of WWE shows where fans have tried in enter the ring and almost been successful, some crazy people out there

About Mayweathers height - if Vaj is telling the truth and is 5'10.5 in shoes, Mayweather is 5'7-5'7.5 max. He certainly didnt look more than 5'8'' next to the mamoth known as Big Show.

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.

Vegas, I'm not claiming that the bodyguard is taller than Big Show. I'm clearly stating that the camera angle makes it hard to make a decent estimation.

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.

Danimal, its not just you. I see the same. He appears a little taller now with less weight making his posture better. It reminds me of the Big Show from 1999-2000.
Fatman, I am thinking 510-520lbs before he left ECW and now 410-420lbs.

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

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".

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.

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.

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

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.

Crazy that Mayweather really punched show. I gotta see the videos of that.

Alex2; that security guy looked close to 7 foot tall to me and 350lb at least, he dwarfed mayweather too and all the other guys too, mayweather was well under his chin. you couldn't get a good comparison between him and show though because of the camera angles.
show spent most of the time bending his head looking down looking at mayweather but here are a few of both guys standing fully tall

Big Show made his WWE return last night at No Way Out. Apparently he took some legit punches from a boxer. He said he lost over a 100 lbs. Let's see how he looks in wrestling gear as he appeared in a suit yesterday.

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.

In the article they say 6'0 at 12 but on Conan O'Brien he said himself 6'2 at 12. Either way its VERY tall for that age.
Big Show has lifted weights since coming to wrestling though but still if he didn't he'd still be pretty strong.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.
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.

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 a segment where Kane gets fired from the Corporation. At 5:54 there's good comparison between Big Show and Kane. Kane must be wearing his lifst there as he doesn't appear more than 3 inches shorter than Big Show.

You know Danimal, I think without the head peice it would have bbeen a whole different story between Big Show and Yeti. You never saw Reis and Giant together which it is funny they did downgrade Reis from 7'8 as the Yeti to 7'2 as Reese.

Honestly, I just have a feeling that the WCW Big Show (The Giant) would have been taller than Khali, or at the very least, exactly the same height as him. Big Show was barely shorter than that 7'2" Mummy guy.

That first clip really shows how short Show's legs are compared to his body.
Guys like Kane and Viscera step over the top role more easily even though they're both several inches shorter.

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.

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.

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.

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 ;).

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.

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.

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.

not sure Mark, nash has stood beside numerous tall nba players including david robinson, oliver miller and most notably 7'2ish kareem abdul jabbar and he only looked 4 inches max shorter than him and he certainly didn't look more than 8" or so shorter than 7'6 jorge gonzales. i have also seen nash on tv dwarf 6'3-6'4 listed nfl players and this out of wrestling gear so he is a huge guy. nash played pro and college ball and was listed at 6'10 in both so its not as if we don't know what he would have been listed at in the nba.
a fairer comparison is the photos of nash next to 6'9 listed Miller and the photo of Miller next to 6'11 listed Jermaine O'Neal (Jared Jeffries with glenn is not taller than Jermaine O'Neal) this a far better than comparing two completely different guys to two other completely different guys Click Here
at times comparing photos is a bit silly, look at rock/mamum and tyler mane/mamum, rock looks taller next to mamum yet i would bet any money that in reality mane has 5" on the rock, take peyton manning as an another example listed at 6'5 by the nfl, claims 6'5.5" himself yet only looks 3.5"-4" taller than a guy many on here say is no taller than 5'9.5-5'10 George Bush, now if that was a 6'5-6'6 listed wrestler beside bush there what do you think people would say?? i suspect he would be downgraded to 6'1 within seconds by most on this website Click Here

Danimal, Give Alex 2 a break. Think we're all on too much. He's got some good points to make. Think height loss people such as Taker + Wight etc can be explained by pooor posture, boots and weight etc. If coming back and has lost weight may give an impression of being taller. Most people especially early in life don't lose 2 inches. The 6'10 photo of basketball player with a 5'8 Glenn sure throws up a few questions. Same height as Manum, making claims of 6'8 for Sid and 6'10 claims for Nash look a bit crazy.

Guys, 6.8' for Paul Wight is ridiculous - anybody who's seen him in the flesh would testify to that. He has very poor posture, due to his size. He is still very close to 7.0'(probably 6.11') when he actually straightens up.

Yes, Khali is minimum of 7'. Big Show, like Jason says, is 6' 8 at the most. The reason Khali and Big Show look so close in height, is because you all keep overlooking how small of a difference 4" is. I mean, to say that you're 4" inches taller than someone is like saying you're basically identical in height to that person.

Alex2, you seem to live on here. You post A LOT kid. Big Show is not a typical 35 year old. First of all, he is a 500 pound man with back and knee problems and he was a wrestler for a dozen years and broke his body. He is NOT, nor is any other wrestler your AVERAGE person. If Hogan never went into wrestling, he would still be a healthy 6'5"+ man today. Kid, you have to learn a thing or two in this world.

Probably the difference in height between Wight from WCW to WWE is a combination of smaller soled shoes, height loss due to weight and age, and posture also due to weight and age. I would say Wight was at a prime height of 7'1", and is now at about 6'11.5". When another giant like Khali (7'1" and change IMO) gets in the ring with him, then he really straightens out and you can see he really hasn't lost much height. When he was new in wrestling, his height and size was his gimmick so he would probably care more about appearing taller.

I doubt you loose 1-2 inches in your mid 30's come on, most 40-50 year olds i know have lost 0.25-0.5" max so i doubt it, oh and has anybody heard? Big Show is returning to WWE, it has been officially confirmed

I personally believe he was that full 7'1.5" in the mid 90's. He had at least 3" on the then 6'10" Big Daddy Cool. I think he shrunk to 7'0" even by 1999 and is maybe down to 6'11" nowadays. Something happened to him for sure, as well as Taker and many others.

The photo @ the start still has me baffled, Wight looks 6'7-6'8 at best on it, I genuinely believe however he's around 6'10-6'11, favouring 6'10. I'm not really in to all this lost inches concept, I belive it happens but rarely, often down to poor posture. Hogan is someone who obviously has lost height but the amount is the big question.

He has stated both 7'1.5" and 7'0" for his height in the past. In the mid to late 90's he looked 7'1"-7'2". Since then he can look as short as 6'11".

NO, she was referring to his Hip Replacement. She even said it: before your new hips you had a bigger butt.
Topweed, I am an avid bodybuilder. My quads measured 27" when I was full swing into my squats and leg presses. After not having touched weights for 2 years, they were below 23". I have posted numerous pictures to this site of Hogan with longer legs. He has had HOW many knee surgeries and HAS had a hip replacement. His hips look like that of a 12 year old boy when he wears jeans today. C'mon!

JT: I agree. I don't think Hogan's legs shrunk at all, and Linda saying, "I miss your butt" (hope no one else paid that much attention to that line) could mean a lot of things, such as he is old now and isn't as well-built as he once was. I mean c'mon. I stopped working out for a while now, and I miss my biceps, but that doesn't mean I lost 3" off the length of my arms.

Hogan looks pretty idiotic if the 1980s jeans still fit length-wise since he claims to have lost 3 inches over the years. I don't think his legs are any shorter, it's just that he can't straighten them like he used to.

Easy there Vegas. I know how much you love Hogan, but if you're such a DEVOUT Hogan knows best fan, you'll have seen the episode where him and his wife go for dancing lessons and she says I miss your butt. She was referring to his hip replacement. He can't work out his legs anymore because of that and is multiple knee operations and you're insulting vegas, because I posted MANNNNY pics over the years where Hogan's legs and lower body was shorter and tinier than it once had been. I don't believe those are his old pants and if they were, I can GUARANTEE you they were MADE to look perfect on his for the camera. Meaning they were PRE-adjusted so he wouldn't look idiotic.

You guys are so wrong about mike and show in the pic....ITS AN ILLUSION. Please copy and paste the photo to a program where u can minimize it and see it from a distance. You really see the height difference. Mike can very well be 6'2 in this picture when taking into account to footwear advantage. And if he is leaning on one foot like i think and know he is almost adding another inch. Mike say is close to 6'3 in this pic and big show has atleast 8 inches on him. aLSO THE PICTURE MAY BE TILTED IN MIKES FAVOR, AGAIN POSTURE OF THE BIG SHOW CAN BE DEDUCTING A HALF INCH AND THE CAMERA LOOKS LIKE IT WAS SHOT IN A SLIGHT UP ANGLE.
ALSO, Big shows head is making it seem like less of DIFFERENCE THAN IT IS

Ghost, what is this proving, by posting a video of a broken down 54 year old Hogan who has been severely vertically compressed. His neck looks SO short. His legs look short and brittle. All he has left are his massive arms. The man WAS almost 3" taller post 1990 and would have matched up a hell of a lot better to that 7'0" UGLY monster at that point. Hogan would be dwarfed by Andre today and he surely was never dwarfed by anyone post 1990.

Yeah, but that was with a door height. I mean, if you mark 6'3'' or 6'4'' on a wall, it doesn't look all that big - but that much of *person* is big. Now, I could be wrong (as I've always said), but I just didn't see 7'0'' or near.

Alex: that pic of the Big Show with Vegas' friend is a very good pic. Because not only does he have pics with the Big Show, he has pics with other wrestlers. He also has a pic with Kane, and Kane was about 4 inches taller than his friend, and Big Show was about 8 inches, which makes Big Show about 4 inches taller than Kane, and we know that he is. So, Vegas' friend is very strong evidence that support Big Show's height. With Mike's picture, this is the one and only pic we have.
I think I am mistaken in that there are two pics, I thought there was at first because they looked slightly different. Now that I am looking at it closer, I think the second one is the same pic. I still don't know exactly what was done to make it different though.. but anyway, JT once did a comparision of the pic with Vega's friend and the pic with Mike. And Mike actually slightly edged out Vegas' friend in height, and Mike is supposed to be 6' 1.5. Funny, if I raise myself up, I become approximately 3 inches taller... strange how Mike would edge out Vegas' 6' 4 by .5 - 1".. I think he is on his toes, I simply don't believe him, unless he posts another pic. Vegas' friend on the other hand, had a few pics of himself.

I didn't know there were two pics - I thought it'd just been played around with. Checking it out, I would have to assume this is one of Mike's pics? Anyways, I just pointed this out since some were acting like it's case closed when it's conjecture. I'll be happy to agree with Big Show looking 7'0'' in a pic if you show me one, just as I was with Khali/Lance Storm recently on Khali's page. ;)

Jason: for one, we are simply taking Mike's word on him not being on his tippy-toes, we don't know that for sure... don't you think it is at least a little weird that we have two pics of Mike and the Big Show, obviously within the same instance, but in one, Mike is significantly shorter than the one above? My theory is that someone took two quick photos of them, one where Mike stood normally, and then in the other, he raised up quickly, and that's the one we have above.
It's like you're so biased that Big Show isn't even clsoe to being a 7-footer, that you can't even at least admit that there seems to be something funny with the picture, especially in light of him seeming a lot shorter in the photo that isn't posted here. Most of us who believe that Big Show is 7' at least admitted initially that the pic above does contradict our belief. You can't even at least concede on points that don't support your view, you simply stop posting for a long time until something else comes around.

That 2nd photo is probably just realistic. Based on the photo above, he is clearly either significantly taller than 6'1.5", or he's on his toes. Based on his posture and body alignment with Big Show, i'm saying he's up on his toes. Look at where their waists together. This site should take the pic down or get a new one, cause that one is no good.
