Vegas: Akebono looks 6' 8 to me. Of course I could be off, but I can't see him being as low as 6'4 as Jason tries to make him. I would say 6' 8 is pretty solid. Plus, you gotta keep in mind that they can't inflate his height by lifts because Sumo wrestlers go at it barefooted. So if he wasn't even at least close to being 6' 8, then it would be hard to get away with that for long.
BTW, just as a side note. When Kevin Nash had just left WWE to WCW, I had a chance to meet and talk with Shawn Michaels briefly. Somehow the conversation had turned to Nash and I actually asked Shawn if Nash was 7' tall, and his reply was, "Kevin Nash is 6' 10.5". I don't see any reason at all why he would lie, if anything it seems like he would have told me his billed height. And Big Show is clearly taller than Nash by a minimum of 2 inches, possibly 3 in some pics.

topdweeb26; how tall do you reckon akebono is?? we will never get better evidence than that surely. Thats the best evidence we will ever see with a pro-wrestler.

No that doesn't definitely mean that Wight is either 6' 10 6' 11 max. You're assuming that you're such a good judge in height, that the difference was definitely 6-7 inches. You, yourself, stated that he *appeared* 6-7 inches taller than Hogan. It is very possible that you're slightly off. So that doesn't convince me that he is only 6' 11 max.

paul the great wight in the staredown with hogan appeared to me to have no more than 6-7 inches on hogan.hogan is about 6'4" so that leaves big show either 6'10" or 6'11" max.

BTW, I meant he must have had some monster lifts on if he is only 6' 8 barefooted. Actually, anything less than him being 7' barefooted would be huge.

Vegas: didn't you say that when Big Show was arrested, he was measured at 7' 2? I know those measurements are with shoes on. But if that's true, then he must have had some monster lifts on.

If your going by Akebono being 6'8 then I think Show is 6'11.5 to 7'0.
I personally think Ake is 6'7 but I could belive the 6'8 as well.

Not to mention if Big Show is 6'9'' and Khali is 6'10'', then Daivari is 5'6'' because Khali has 15 or 16 inches on Daivari withou breaking a sweat. Look at the pic of him and Daivari and that Diva on the carpet again. We know Daivari is at least 5'9'' which puts Khali at a strong 7'0.5 or 7'1 and Big Show no less than 6'10.75

the video shows the big show to be 7 feet tall, against tedding long, even though the angle favors show, he is just OVER powering, i really liked that clip, it really shows a lot, and its kind of an epic presense with them two. Definetly close to the biggest humans in the world. both 7 feet tall with such size and muscle.

to be fair to jason, he never said khali looked 6'9 to him, he said his cousin thought khali might have been 6'9 from a distance. i have a funny feeling jason saw a 7 foot khali in sneakers but doesn't want to admit it.
if khali is truly 6'9 then batista and cena and sub 6 foot for sure Click Here and Click Here cena would come out at about 5'10 in basketball boots there, of course khali could be wearing mega lifts (despite the fact he can barely walk as it is, lol) and so big show must have been wearing 6-7" lifts to look the same height as khali :D

In that video, Khali looks taller at first because he is in the foreground, but a few seconds in Big Show comes up to his level, and they do look the same height. But it doesn't end the debate, because people will just claim Big Show is wearing lifts. Jason realizes that it would be unreasonable to say Big Show is wearing 4 to 5 inch lifts, so he just simply downgrades Khali to 6' 9.
But here's the thing: why would Big Show be wearing lifts when the WWE is trying to give the impression that Khali is a solid 3 inches taller than Big Show? It wouldn't make sense. When Khali and Big Show met on TV face to face for the first time, WWE.com deliberately posted only pics of the two which were at extreme angles in Khali's favor. There's no way they would let Big Show wear lifts, they've gone out of their way to make Khali appear much much taller than Show.

That`s quite funny to see Show and Khali walking together. I don`t know what is wrong with the photo above, but 95% of the pictures are proving that Show is 7ft; I would say maybe even 7ft0,5 in WCW.
In the vid Show maybe looks 1 inch shorter, but its pretty hard to judge.
It must be wild to see these two together in reality.
I wonder how strong these guys are, because I never heard of any numbers.

Big show appears the same EXACT height as 7'1 khali.
If show was 6'9 or even 6'10 he would look like a 5'9 guy to a 6 foot guy, and OBVIOUSLY THAT is not the case,

We've seen pics where Big Show has looked as short as 6'8-6'9 like above then photos where he looks 7'0 like with Vegas's 6'4 friend then others that are in the middle.

IF mike is leaning on 1 foot you can easily add an inch. I measured myself yesterday on one foot and came close to an inch taller. You wouldnt realize it but this picture is from an up angle (looking up) So if mike is very well 6'3 at the top of his head which i believe, then i definetly see show being 7 feet tall, add 5 inches to the top of his head and u have 6'8 which is about 3/4 of an inch higher than his eayebrow, now add 4 more inches and u have him just hovering at the 7 foot mark, there you go, bad picture

Some photos can be deceiving for sure, but its still not set in stone that Big Show is a legit 6-11, either. Mike says that hes not standing on his tip toes at all here.

Looks like Mike is standing on his tip toes as he leans into the photo, which means he'll around 6'3 or something. Something not right with this photo, there is no way Big Show is 6'9.

Big Show's ring boots only give 1.25" of extra height, which isn't really anything unusual. In fact, that's well within the range of normal street shoes.

This picture shows that Wight does have an added advantage when he is in ring gear (Click Here). Wight doesn't have that much of an advantage when they were both barefoot (I'm assuming Akebono isn't barefoot here).
Actually it does quite the opposite. Akebono looks taller there next to Big Show than what he did when they were both barefeet. When they were both barefeet Akebono only came up to Big Show's eyelevel when they were both barefoot, yet here he's above Show's eyelevel. Maybe Akebono is the one who's wearing lifts there!

I agree Show does not look even close to 7 ft in this new photo he looks

Indeed, if Big Show is 7ft in that pic, his head must be 17 inches long. But it's just one pic. For every pic that there is of Big Show looking 6'9 there are 20 pics where he looks 6'11-7ft.

He has to be at least 6'10, 6'11.... maybe even 7 ft with shoes... this a good picture but it seems something is making the height difference seem incorrect.

I don't care how tall the picure makes him look, he's no shorter than 6'11". Some photos can be deceiveing, especially those where we can't see their feet. He's much taller than Rodman, Schwartz, Akebono, Kane, etc. Also, he's within 1" or so of Khali and we have pictures of Khali towering over legit 6'7" Gary Godsey. Simple comparisons of those pictures would prove he's nowhere near the 6'8"-6'9" people are now claiming for him. Granted, I think his in ring height has been assisted at times with thick-soled boots (others will disagree) but here's a good photo (Click Here). I still feel he's no less than 6'11" barefoot.

Also, if you watched the recent Hogan Knows Best that Wight appeared on, there looked to be at least several inches between him and Hulk. So if Hulk is 6'3"-6'4" then Show has to be near 7' or right at it. 6'10" for Show is low balling him and anything under that is kind of nuts IMO; 6'11" up to 7' barefoot for me when standing straight.

I think Show does look shorter than he really is in the photo above but if he would stand straight/tall that would add probably 2 inches or so and maybe more since it looks like his left leg is bent and he is standing back casually. Show 6'11" today in my eyes but could be up to 1" more max.

after carefully reviewing the above pic ,i would have to say there is at least 8-9 inches between the two.lets give mike the benefit of the doubt,and say he,s pushing 6'2" that would place show at 6'10" minumum,6'11" max.

Sylvester Terkay is a legit 6'6" when he debuted in the WWE in mid 2005 with Elijah Burke. I thought Burke is only 5'9" because he made Burke look like a kid inside the ring. I wish the WWE never released him because he is a solid addition to Smackdown and he is really a very good wrestler.

Gracie's knees aren't higher than Akebono's in the second. The third pic is better? It's from low down ... and they're posing & not even standing up with each other. I thought JT was gonna post that one! :P
Not that I'm a photography expert by any means, but when you take a pic from low down/underneath, a normally ~ irrelevant angle can be greatly exaggerated and make one or the other much taller or shorter than they are. I found one taken underneath of Bob Sapp and Akebono face to face and looking about the same height, but didn't post it for that reason.

jason you have consistently used this photo over the past 2 years to back up your claims that akebono is 6'4-6'5 Click Here please stop using it, gracie legs are about 3-4" longer than akebonos in that pic and look how high gracies knees are compared to akebono's, cmon mate you are better than that.....

that was wolverinejoe who said it and he seems pretty truthful and enough with the terrible photos, i thought nova was bad :P
Jason you will end up downgrading everyone (including yourself) to sub 6 foot in order to get Wight down to 6'7-6'8. i said that about a year ago, start downgrading guys like Wight with a previous legit sporting background and you just basically have to downgrade everyone to fall in line.

5'11'' Royce comparing hand size with ''billed'' 7'2'' (I say 6'10''-6'11'') Hong-Man Choi.
& Vegas, is there more evidence of Choi's TV measurement than that random poster I think I once saw here say that?

this is the only good full body shot of gracie/akebono side by side Click Here akebono had more height on legit 6'3.75" remy bonjasky, barefoot in the middle of the ring, than in your photo with gracie Click Here
jason; i worked in research so i know the Web is far from accurate, in fact we were not allowed use it for reference at all!! if Gracie is 5'11 then ken shamrock is 5'9 max Click Here there are far more 6'1 and 6'0 listings for gracie than any other figure. based on the pic with shamrock he is no shorter than 6'0 and he is 8" easier shorter than akebono above.
i think we can determine without question that wight DOESN'T wear lifts now as he is no taller in gear next to akebono than in barefeet.

He posted it about 2 years ago. Taken at a strip club. Big Show looked in the 6'7'' range with his 5'8'' cousin (note to some - I said looked in the pic, not is ;)). Though to be fair, I guess, you could only see from the waist area up...

''Yes, but here's the difference, Jason: the ones who support Big Show being 6'11-7 (me, Alex, JT, Vegas, etc) have 99% of all the pics agreeing with our point of view.''
It's nowhere near 99%. It's 99% to you guys because your estimates of other wrestlers (who you're comparing Big Show to) differ to a few of us. And granted we're highly suspicious about lifts, but you're on the other side of that spectrum and not enough so. Not to mention some of these random fan photos of a fan of X height with Big Show or whoever ... when you know very well how many people over-estimate their height.

"We? Didn't you say me & Viper weren't objectively trying to determine Big Show's height further down? ;)"
Yes, but here's the difference, Jason: the ones who support Big Show being 6'11-7 (me, Alex, JT, Vegas, etc) have 99% of all the pics agreeing with our point of view. So when a picture such as the one above shows up, naturally we interpret it in the light of all the other dozens upon dozens of photographic evidence of the Big Show and say, "Hey, every picture but this one points to Big Show being 7', maybe there is something wrong with this picture". You and Viper on the other hand, write off 99% of all pics, cling to one that is anomalous, and then interpret the other 99% through this one. That's not being objective. That's finding anything you can to support your view and forcing the majority of the evidence to conform to that. If the tables were turned, and 99% of the pics of the Big Show looked like the one above, but we found one where he was 7', I would say, "He looks 7' in that pic, but most likely he's not because of the other 99%".

I'm really not sure how much Big Show shrunk. I'd guess an inch but I don't think it was much. Just the fact he's more heavier and wider gives him a shorter look, plus his legs are short for his height range. Bad posture too. Plus the guy wore lifts back in WCW at times which made him get away with 7'4. Because no way could he get away with it now or even since he came to WWF.

Vegas, I do appreciate your sarcasm, but to DISCOUNT height loss for these wrestlers is absurd. Especially a man of Big Show's girth. Andre lost height by Big Show's age, so why not Big Show himself. Like Hogan and many others who had corrective spinal surgery, he appears to be shorter nowadays. That is a FACT. In any case, he is NOT under 6'9" and I'm opting for 6'11" barefoot today and 7'0"-7'1" at his peak.

Bonjasky's actually billed as 192cm and 6'4'' ... so he'd be about 6'3 1/2'' (I've got no reason to doubt LeBanner really being 6'3''). Which explains him having a cm on LeBanner.

He looks a 7-footer there. I saw all the wrestlers I did at a resort casino ... all over the place over a period of several hours -- Burke passed me on an outside paved area with a slope. Going back to Big Show, I haven't said he's 6'7'' anywhere in this discussion, I just said he looked that in the pic with J-Dog's cousin.

Wight i bet hasn't shrunk (not significantly at any rate), its a little thing called posture Viper; does wonders and can increase/decrease a person's height by 3-4" at times (as in the case of my friend and my brother). Wights posture in WCW was great, his posture today is awful, just look at JT pics of Wight/akebono in 2005 and wight/haystacks in 1996 for comparison, and his posture has been alot worse at times than in that akebono match.

There is nothing wrong with the picture according to Mike. I think Big Show has shrunk a little, or hes not wearing bigger footwear anymore. You cant deny the fact that he certaintly looked taller in WCW.

Jason, you're height estimations are a joke. You're only saying Akebono is ~6'5" so Big Show will be 6'9". You're ruining your credibility on here. There are way too many pictures proving Akebono and Big Show's heights for you to be able to justify making both of them 3" shorter. You can't base your argument on the above picture. Seems alittle fishy that he's just as tall next to Big Show as Vegas' 6'4" friend (Click Here).

Vegas: nice pics of that guy with HBJ and BS. If you noticed, that might be the same event as the picture above, BS looks to be wearing the same clothes, and apparently this was at an ECW event. So in all probability, they are probably at the same event. So this guy looks to be about 5' 11 next to 6' 5 HBJ, but way way shorter than BS. Mike is supposed to only be about 2.5" taller than this guy... guess BS puts lifts in his shoes for the 5' 11 guy and took them out for Mike.

As Vegas has pointed out before, Big Show was listed as 7' 1 at Witchita State, no way would they list someone who is 6' 8 as 7' 1.

Jason, I don't know what you're getting so comfortable for. After all, when photographic evidence is in our favor (which is 99% of the time) you make up all kinds of excuses: lifts (your primary argument), the heights aren't accurate, something's not right about the pic, etc. Basically all the same things we have (except for the lifts).
The only difference is you're an anomaly mongerer. Majority of the pics favor Big Show being a legit 7', but you ignore them and write them off. However, the one that makes him look 6' 8 (the one above) you're all over like Rosie at a buffet, and it's not even a full body pic.
I forgot who it was, but someone (maybe Alex) actually posted a pic of my old supervisor in the AF with the Big Show and Big Show was in normal street clothes. My supervisor is supposed to be taller than Mike, but yet, somehow Mike is taller to the Big Show than he was. How is that possible? And that pic was actually better than Mike's because that was a full body pic. Mike is taller to the Big Show than Vegas' 6' 4 friend, who has pics of himself with other wrestlers. Mike is either the world's tallest 6' 1.5 guy, or there is something wrong. All evidence points to there being something wrong. The only one who doesn't think there is something wrong is you and Viper, simply because it favors your opinions about his height.
And by the way, funny you mentioned Massimo in one of your posts. Guess you missed it, but even he conceded that Big Show is at least 6' 11.

jason you over-estimated someone :p I don't get this higher ground (in a casino) you keep mentioning, burke was on higher level (upstairs), what??
Mike said 6'11 in person (that beats any photo). Jason you seem to think its all of us that has to prove Wight's height to you, when its you that has to prove YOUR claims to us. 99.99% of the evidence supports my/JT/powerslam/davde meltzer claims; and you that yourself know that only too well at this point. Of course you will find a few photos of wight looking 6'9 as above (just like you will find ones of shaq etc looking 6'9 too) but for every one of those there is a thousand saying otherwise.
lets see what we have to this point (among other things)
1.He wears mega lifts in the ring (but strangely Wight left them at home the night YOU saw him)
2.overbilled by WSU by 5-6", the tallest player ever to play at WSU was 6'7-6'8 (according to you).
3.Akebono (tallest yokozuna ever was over-billed by 3-4")
4.Even though Sapp was measured at 6'4.25" at combine, a WEBSITE listing is more important. Was Sapp ever given at 6'3 on TV during any of his MMA fights??
Jason i ain't gonna keep this up with you because you claimed in 2004-2005 that if Shaq/Wight stood face to face, Shaq would be 5-6" taller and both would weigh the same; 380lb.
this dude looks 5'11 next to 6'5 HBJ (camera angle favouring Jim) Click Here easily a foot shorter than Wight Click Here

JT: thanks for the pics. The more I think about it, the more there has to be something wrong with the pic with Mike and the Big Show. I don't think Mike is being truthful about the pic, or he just didn't realize the ground wasn't level or something. There are just too many pics of the Big Show with other people where he looks a legit 7'. Not to mention Vegas' friend has many pics of himself with other wrestlers, and the height differences he has with them are consistent with how tall the Big Show is to them. Also, I have never ever seen Nash and the Big Show look the same height, or even Nash looking taller than the Big Show. Never. And I remember that time Nash had cowboy boots and was still shorter than Big Show, and in WCW Big Show didn't wear thick soles like he did in WWE.

Guys, If you look on the Kane page with Kane next to 5'8 Munum Kane is 6'7 at the least and Big Show looks 6'9 max with 6'1.5 Mike. So basically Big Show and Kane are around an inch difference in height which isn't true because Big Show has Kane by at least 4 inches.

I haven't seen any face to face pics from the match that weren't extrapolated (projecting Big Show and Akebono together), like I saying. In my actual face to face one, he comes up 2'' above the middle of Show's eye.

So I was either 6'9" or 6'10"" About Kane, he said, "I know Kane wears huge lifts, he's only around 6'9" " Not sure if he met Kane or not, but he did meet Big Show and said, "that guy is just massive. He looked over 7ft to me."

The difference between Big Show and Dennis Rodman was debatable. Same with Big Show/Akebono (I thought the difference looked more like 3.5-4'') ... and more importantly, Akebono's real height is very debatable.
I've got a close-up pic on my computer of Big Show/Akebono (not from Wrestlemania, though) face to face for real - that isn't extrapolated - and the difference isn't more than 4 inches ... & BS is in his wrestling gear. As soon as someone tells me how to post it up here, I will. I have a PhotoBucket account, but it's a private one ;) ... can I post it using that, or do I have to use another method?
When Smackdown was in Japan, Big Show called out Akebono and he answered it by coming to the ring. They both had a face-off in the middle of the ring.
Reading your post above it looks like you agree that Big Show was not considerably taller than Akebono in ring gear as he was barefoot.

Agreed, something isn't right about that picture. That guy looks at tall next to Big Show as Vegas' 6'4" friend. We really need full-length pictures to make better height comparisons. Pictures like this make it easy to see why its so hard to peg down height of very tall, heavy guys that have a tendency to slouch (ie Andre).

I always thought Big Show was 6'11" - 7' barefoot. It could be possible he lost a little height and is 6'10" now. Then, again, just look at his staredowns with Khali, where he's actually standing straight.

Evidence puts him at 6'11 since he's not much shorter than 7'1 Daliph Singh.''
I saw Singh in person a number of times at a resort casino in July (after the show I went to) and he didn't look 7'1''. Not to mention a lot of wrestlers sometimes wear lifts in the ring. Also, Big Show doesn't look to be slouching anymore than Mike is (who himself is leaning...).

Really, the highest you can go for him here is 6-9. Though you can sure argue 6-8 as well. Mike is leaning in.

J-Dog's a regular poster here, and on the contrary, his estimates were usually on the high side. He didn't agree with me or Viper.

but im starting to think that a 6'9 barefoot is not totally out of the question...
Unless you also believe Akebono to be 6'5 and Dennis Rodman to be 6'4 (and therefore Michael Jordan 6'2) than it's indeed possible. Otherwise it's totally out of the question.
Big Show left his huge lifts at home when he wrestled Akebono in 2004 and met up with Rodman in 2007 on a birthday party, but guess what, he was still considerably taller than the both of them. Not bad for a guy who's supposed to wear huge lifts or shrunk several inches.

Unless you also believe Akebono to be 6'5 and Dennis Rodman to be 6'4 (and therefore Michael Jordan 6'2) than it's indeed possible. Otherwise it's totally out of the question.
Big Show left his huge lifts at home when he wrestled Akebono in 2004 and met up with Rodman in 2007 on a birthday party, but guess what, he was still considerably taller than the both of them. Not bad for a guy who's supposed to wear huge lifts or shrunk several inches.

Saga, Big Show does look 6'11-7'0 but here only about 6'9. And whatever he is you better have Singh only 1-2 inches taller and no more.

What I don't get is why is this picture any more significant than Vegas' pic? Sure I'll admit that in this pic Big Show doesn't look even close to 7'. However, the thing about guys like Jason and Viper, is that when they do see pics of him where he looks 7', they don't even at least concede that much. It shows me that they are not interested in objectively finding his true height. Instead they've got their opinion, and everything else must conform to that.
Based on this pic, I'd say Big Show is about 6' 8 - 6' 9. But based on his pic with Vegas' 6' 4 friend, I'd say 7'.

"Big Show is wearing massive lifts here."
Massive lifts??
Time to be serious guys!
He was in sandals (as Mike stated) and still looks about 6'10 in the pic above (slouching).
Evidence puts him at 6'11 since he's not much shorter than 7'1 Daliph Singh.

"Yea and if Big Show is 6'8-6'9 that means Dalip Singh is 6'10 only."
I dont think so. Its just that Big Show is closer to his height in bigger footwear.
I doubt Singh had Big Show by more than 2 inches tops. In the ring it looked an inch and Big Show did have bigger footwear by a bit so Dalip would be 6'11 at the most if Show is 6'9.

haystacks was about 6 inches shorter than big show 6'6" i,d say, so there has to be at least 11 inches between mike and show.

nash is a good 2 inches taller than kane tho.... without doubt, maybe even more. And also, i heard of a wcw dvd where show and nash were both wearing street clothes and similar trainers, and they were the EXACT same height, EXACT. if anything nash looked taller because of his build... also, there was internal rumours from the wrestling guys who used to say that nash was NO shorter than show, scott hall and the wall to name 2. I think show always had BIG footwear... which gave him that nessesary advantage, but im still all for show being 6'10-7' in wrestling boots... but im starting to think that a 6'9 barefoot is not totally out of the question, especially after hearing the nash rumours.... also, i saw a pic of nash and big show on myspace there a few months back, a recent pic, i was browsing randomly and found it.... i never thought to save it, but it was full body and nash looked a half inch taller than show :S.... they were both wearing beach sandals.... :S and that got me thinking too. I think its fair to say that nash 'might' be slightly taller than show nowadays as show has definatley lost more height than nash, because of his weight.... also, in wcw show ALWAYS had bigger soles and boots than nash, who usually had relatively flat soled boots for a big man, he always had knee problems and couldnt wear lifts, this was also a well documented story, that kevin had smaller lifts than most because his knees were giving out on him.... maybe nowadays nash and show are both 6'9 barefoot (if standing straight).... who knows.... this pic has made me all confused now!

Depends what sandals they are ... my dad's give around as much as my basketball shoes :-O. Mike has said he's leaning into Big Show, though, which would at least negate any footware difference.

Most pics were Big Show looks 6'9 are the ones which are no full body pics. It's funny you mentioned that poster J-Dog, Jason. He posted a (half-body) pic of a 5'8 person only looking a foot shorter than Big Show. But here's the thing, his waist level was almost at the exact same height as Big Show's which would never be the case unless that 5'8 guy was standing on something. I made a comment about that and guess what. We never heard or seen anything from J-Dog again, so I guess he was only trying to get Big Show downgraded.
Claiming Big Show is wearing big footwear to compensate for height is easy. Prove it I'd say. Show me some pics of Big Show in normal footwear and in wrestling gear next to the same person with a considerable height difference in either pic. There are pics of Big Show standing next to the same person both with and withouth those big wrestling boots (next Rodman, Hogan, McMahon, Akebono). Can't someone post comparison pics like that as IIRC Big Show looks the same height next to people wheter he is in dressing shoes or wrestling boots. Did Big Show look considerable shorter next to Rodman in June 2007 as he did in 1996. Didn't look like he was that much shorter to me.
Danimal have you forgotten that Big Show still had 4-5 inches on Kane just one year ago? Do you think Nash would have 4 inches on Kane or do you think Big Show shrunk 2 inches in 1 year? Some will probably say Big Show wore bigger footwear than Kane, but where does that add up. They were both listed as 7 foot, so if someone had to wear bigger footwear it would've been Kane.

WCW version of Big Show would have dwarfed this guy, appearing a full foot taller than him. Something really funky has happened to Big Show if this Mike guy is a legite 6'1 3/4". Show does not look taller than 6'9" and change here. It's possible that Show has shrunk down to Nash's height, maybe due to weight gain, poor posture and surgery.
this new version of Big Show would not have dwarfed Haystacks in the mid-90's. That's for sure.

its one pic Viper, its on the street which is never level (i have proved that in my pic with my brother), Wight looks drunk too and is in a joking posture.
he didn't shrink down to 6'9 because then that means akebono is 6'4 or thereabouts which is impossible seeing as akebono had 4" on 6'4 combine measured bob sapp. 6'9 Wight would also equal a 6'4 dennis rodman and a 6'4.5" max kane as of 2006.

You say Rock is 6'2, does that make 6'10 Robert Horry really just 6'4 next to him in reality.
Shaq also has no more than 4.5" on 6'4-6'5 Kobe in that pic i posted, so he is 6'9 in reality.
The answer to all those questions are of course it doesn't, none of these guys shrunk, as glenn has said many times pictures are useless. Mike has said 6'11 for Wight in person, Dave Meltzer says 6'11 for Wight in person, i have said 6'11 for 2 years on this board.

the most important thing is his 7'1 college listing, no way are they going to overbill him by 5", thats followed by his barefoot staredown with akebono.
Jason; you ARE shoving your 6'7 claims down the boards throat though even if you don't think you are, you are jumping hoops over 1 picture, if i was like you i would post every video i have of wight staring down people like haystacks, nash etc. You did the same for 4 years over at the bodybuilding forum. Mike says Wight was 6'11 in person and that he had a footwear advantage, yet you claim Mike "is overestimating Wight's height"
of course big show will look 6'9 in some pictures thats to be expected, if you think the dude stands straight for every picture then you are living in a dream world.
Shaq looks 6'9 here Click Here robert horry 6'4-6'5 (depending on the height you give Rock) Click Here Horry and Shaq's posture look perfect there, kobes and rocks don't.

Shaq looks 6'9 here Click Here robert horry 6'4-6'5 (depending on the height you give Rock) Click Here Horry and Shaq's posture look perfect there, kobes and rocks don't.
is my brother just 5'8 based on this photo Click Here i remember you once said i was less than 5'10, that makes him 5'7 :D

Editor Rob I wouldn't go calling it bs. I'm glad someone sent in a photo of big show as this guy has been discussed a heap on here. Of course it's not a perfect shot, until someone submits a better one this has given some discussion again to the show!

i straightened the picture slightly, if someone meets tomeone its seems rude to pull them into their body, but when you tilt the picture slightly it looks like big show is leaning, its all allusion, iff u look at the inch markers, hes still 10 inches tall HAHAHA there you go BIG SHOW 7 FEET END OF STORY
HERE IT IS

Mate, I'm entitled to my estimate of Big Show ... and I was talking to Viper, not trying to shove it down the board's throat. We've gone over this before, though I still think Morgan is 6-6.

Big Show looked 6'7''-6'8'' in a pic J-Dog's posted once of Show with his cousin (I think it was). People didn't like it, though, and disregarded it simply because it didn't correlate with their estimates ... a bit like some are doing now. He also looked this range with The Ultimate Bad guy & the one with Mark Henry. He's looked it with Triple H. There doesn't necessarily have to be photos/video of him looking 6'5''-6'6'' ... this is someone who's height/size is their livelyhood, after all. His posture didn't seem too bad to me.

Editor Rob that mark henry guy has got listings all over the place in the early 90's. 6ft 1,2,2.5,3...even around Olympics time 6ft 2 and 2.5 was being commonly given.

That is what I am talking about Vegas there are hundreds of pictures in the internet. That will prove that BIG SHOW is a legit 6'11, when he stood up against NBA Players and former WWE Wrestlers. The picture of Mike in the Big Show page should not be use as some kind of a reference to judge's Paul Wight barefoot height.
No.1 because Big Show has a poorer posture and No.2, we cannot see their feet and I think Mike is on a higher pavement because this photo was taken in a slop ground, which favor the 6'1.5" Mike and which make the Big Show look smaller than his real height.
Mike, what is your estimate again of Big Show's Height? You are the one, who have photo evidence and I believe your story more than the other guy, who saw BIG Show at 6'7" in person.

If show is only 6'8, then khali is 6'9. kane is about 6'4 (high 6'3s maybe) and HHH is about 5'11 max.... also not to mention the fact that if show was only 6'8 that the late benoit would be hovering in around 5'5-5'6.... and michaels would be about 5'8.....''
Actually, it wouldn't. A lot of these guys wear lifts which make their heights chop and change. If BS were 6'9'' in WCW, that'd still put Nash at 6'8'' in my book. In one of my wrestling DVD's, they're an inch apart in street clothes, when in the ring it looked more like 2-3. A wrestling writer has pointed this out before; that he was shocked to see Show and Nash were actually the same height. Just one example.

JT that hogan/show comparison is just mad Click Here so they were the same height all along it seems :D
if Wight was really 6'7-6'8 there should be hundreds of photos/hours of video of him looking 6'5-6'6, where are they??

Robert Horry was measured at 6'8 in the 1992 NBA Draft. I agree with Vegas that sometimes pictures can be deceiving especially when you took the photo in a slop ground. Beside i also notice that Mike look like he was on his tip toe to make him taller than 6'1.5".
Vegas just ignore the trolls in this site some of them are blind enough to realize the truth and read their comments in the Jared Padelecki page and this little guy is suffering from napeleonix complex.
They like to downgrade people's height after seeing a suspicious photo. Nice to hear that some intelligent people are still see Big Show at 6'11.

Mike said he was in sneakers while Show was in sandals so he's getting 1/2 to an inch advantage in footwear. He estimated him at 6'11 but there isn't 10.5 inches difference. Well say 9.5 inches because of the footwear difference. With Big Show's long and large head its still 7-7.5 inches between the 2. Big Show looks 6'9 there still.

You say Rock is 6'2, does that make 6'10 Robert Horry really just 6'4 next to him in reality.
Shaq also has no more than 4.5" on 6'4-6'5 Kobe in that pic i posted, so he is 6'9 in reality.
The answer to all those questions are of course it doesn't, none of these guys shrunk, as glenn has said many times pictures are useless. Mike has said 6'11 for Wight in person, Dave Meltzer says 6'11 for Wight in person, i have said 6'11 for 2 years on this board.

its one pic Viper, its on the street which is never level (i have proved that in my pic with my brother), Wight looks drunk too and is in a joking posture.
he didn't shrink down to 6'9 because then that means akebono is 6'4 or thereabouts which is impossible seeing as akebono had 4" on 6'4 combine measured bob sapp. 6'9 Wight would also equal a 6'4 dennis rodman and a 6'4.5" max kane as of 2006.

"Im not buying this pic for a second.i mean, LOOK AT THE WAIST LEVELS!"
Actually Big Show has shorter legs for his height. They might be as short as 36 inches. No more than 38. I remember Vegas posting pictures of the Rock with Big Show where Rock's legs didnt look that much shorter.

well if show is 6'8 then that makes kevin nash about 6'5, maybe 6'6. And that must mean that in the pics of nash with nba players listed at 6'10 where nash ACTUALLY looks taller if anything, they must be about 6'5 too, which means shaq is about 6'8 too, and yao ming MIGHT just be 7'1......

theres something wrong this pic, big show looks often bigger than this beside legit 6'4ers..... also, IF this guy is 6'1.5 and IF manmun on kanes pic is 5'8 then kane and big show SHOULD be the same height!!!!!!!!! which is certainly not the case!... show has at least 3-4 inches over kane in every fair sighting (KOR 98 excluded, as those lifts on kane were HUGE) i agree with everyone here, either mike is lying and this is not him, or mike is something like 6'4, or mikes standing on something or on his tip toes.... because there is simply NO way that this guys waist is on the same level as big shows, thats the dead giveaway..... theres no guy UNDER 6'2 who has a waist as high as a near 7 footer..... Also, we all know dalip singh is pretty much a solid 7 ft minimum (legit) if not more..... tell me then why he and big show were VERY near the same height!?.... does this mean dalip is really about 6'9? gimme a break... in that case kane and undertaker are no more than 6'4.... NO MORE. And ive met kane and hes AT LEAST 6'7, at the very least!..... im not buying this pic, its not like im a fan boy whos dissapointed that show is not as big as he thought, i NEVER liked big show!, and i was always thinking he could be as low as 6'11 on a bad day, but all the evidence points to this pic being innaccurate. this guys shoulders are even nearly as wide as shows!!!, gimme a break!, i seen big show walk into the ring 10 feet away from me, and im a muscle/fat 6'1 235 pounder, and he was twice as wide and as big as me all round!
theres something wrong this pic, big show looks often bigger than this beside legit 6'4ers..... also, IF this guy is 6'1.5 and IF manmun on kanes pic is 5'8 then kane and big show SHOULD be the same height!!!!!!!!! which is certainly not the case!... show has at least 3-4 inches over kane in every fair sighting (KOR 98 excluded, as those lifts on kane were HUGE) i agree with everyone here, either mike is lying and this is not him, or mike is something like 6'4, or mikes standing on something or on his tip toes.... because there is simply NO way that this guys waist is on the same level as big shows, thats the dead giveaway..... theres no guy UNDER 6'2 who has a waist as high as a near 7 footer.....

Only biased people will use this pic and put it over the dozens of photos that were posted here over the years which clearly show Big Show to be in the 7 foot range and not in the 6'9 range. If Show is only 6'9 that wouldn't look good for tons of people on this site. Remember Triple H (who's also about 6'1.5) also came up to Big Show's nose, yet on several occasions I've seen them together Show was nearly a head taller than Triple H. Did Brock Lesnar ever came up to Show's nose. No he barely came up to Show's mouth. So I guess Lesnar is only 5'11, just like Shane McMahon!

This picture isn't accurate. Either that guy is taller than 6'1.5", or he's on his toes like Dave said. He looks 6'8" or 6'9" in that photo and there is so much video and photos proving he is above that. He is 7' even barefoot.

The more I think about it, the more I think there has to be something fishy about this picture (either not on level ground or something) because JT recently posted some pics of Shawn Michaels with the Big Show. Even granting Shawn were only 5' 11, he still wouldn't be that much shorter compared to Big Show compared with someone who is 6' 1.5. There should be a rule of posting only full body pics.

Come on guys, it's obvious by this guys facial expression and the way his head and and shoulders are tipping forward that he is on his tip toes, which can add inches. Show is NO way this short next to a MERE 6'1.5" guy.
ROB, you should NOT use this pic as evidence, when we clearly cannot see their feet in the pic. That just plain is NOT a valid pic. Sorry.

Whether this guy is really 6-1 1/2 or standing on his toes, it just adds more fuel to the fire of his 6-8-6-9 estimate of Big Show in person.

Big Show has a humongous head, it's probably like 6 inches from his eyes to the top of his head. So, next to this 6'1.5", he's looking close to 6'10".

He doesn't look 6'11 until you consider the massiveness and lenght of his head.
He barely appears to have a neck.

Did 6'1.5" Mike claim to be on level ground? Seems a bit odd that a sub 6'2" guy's waist would be level with Show's. Seems to usually take a 6'7" or over guy for that to be the case. This pic is suspect.

I agree the pic above is very suspect since footwear isn't visible and we don't know if they are even on the same ground level. The dude in the pic does look like he's on his tip toes. Compare that pic to Show and 6'4" Conan;

Or 7'1" Dalip Singh;

Well if you notice he is a few inches behind Mike in this picture which could take away a inch or two on his height.... Does anyone know when this was taken?

I am the one who submitted the picture.I am not standing on my toes or anything.I had a physical a few months back & the doctor measured me @ 6' 1 7/8" in the morning.I was wearing normal gym shoes & he was wearing sandals in this picture.I met him in Racine,Wi after an ECW house show.Yes,Big Show is monstrous.I shook his hand & his hand engulfed mine.His head & everything about him is very big.I am slightly leaning towards him in the picture.I would estimate him by meeting him in person to be 6'11.

Thats the thing, with Rodman he looks at least 6'11 but with Mike he looks 6'9 at most. There isn't more than 7-7.5 inches between the 2 and thats with Big Show's long head because 7 inches for most guys would come up to mid mouth.

Viper- It might be 7 inches on the average person, but Show's head is much larger than the average person. I'd say it's more 8-9 inches. I'm thinking 6'10" for Show.

, the photo seems as if the big show is lifting mike like a puppet, i am pretty sure that the photo is slightly tilted favoring mike, who knows what mike was wearing on his feet, who knows if he was on a curb, or on a higher ground, disregarding this, i still see 10.5 inches, the top of the picture looks like nearly a foot taller than mike who is 6'2, why do people say 6'1 because we are undermining heights thats why.

The Mike guy in the pic looks like his right foot may be lifted a little off the ground since he is leaning/being pulled towards show; also, Show doesn't look like he's standing completely straight; it looks like he's standing back casually with right leg straight and left leg/knee bent. Show is in the 6'11" region IMO opinion and it seems he may even be his 7 foot billing really to me

Mike is trying to get every height advantage he can and may very well be on his tippies. Show has relaxed posture for sure, I still see a 8 or 9 inch difference.

I agree that if that guy is 6' 1.5 and there's nothing suspect, then I would say that Big Show looks closer to Jason's estimates. But without seeing a full body pic (to make sure they are on level ground and all) it doesn't prove it conclusively. Especially since this is how tall Vegas' 6' 4 friend looked to Big Show.

big show is not 6,9" he had rodman by at least 4 inches,so that puts show nowhere below 6'11".

i think 6'11" is a fair estimate for show,consider the abnormal size of his head,it,s like twice the size of a average person,his head alone has to be 10 inches at least.

well this pic is very suspect it almost looks to me like mike is on his tip toes, and im not kidding... look at the way hes arched back and all... sorry but i have seen pics of show beside legit 6'2 ers and he looked bigger than this, on MANY occaisions..... i dont buy this, id need to see feet here, theres no way show is only this close to a 6'1.5er.... i mean, im a legit 6'1 and i was only this height beside kane when i met him!!!!!, theres something up about this pic, i dont trust his posture, it looks very unnatural.

Where in the world do any of you guys see 6-10? Thats impossible. At most hes looking 6-9, at most. He looks more 6-8 to me though. It looks to be a 6.5 - 7 inch difference.

Also the picture with 6'6-6'6.6 Dennis Rodman makes Big Show look at least 6'11 and thats with a measured athlete too. Maybe Mike is taller than 6'1.5 or something?
