Coach would be as short as 6'2 though but could be 6'3 too. JBL isn't more than 6'5.

You can just height from far away when you draw a level line like JT did.

Im gonna hove to respectfully disagree with you there JT. Old pictures seem to indicate that Jones was taller...however if anybody could find the clip when jones and morgan debuted with paul heyman, I rememeber Morgan actually looking taller, im not saying he is but he seemed it that night, and if you watch the videos jones has at most 1.5" on undertaker.
and you cannnot judge heigth when they are so far away, morgan and show were not level, which was why the closer big show got to morgan, the more the height difference decreased. Nash was dwarfed by big show in WCW, looked like nearly 3 inches. In my pic morgan and show appear the same heihgt(though ngi show is 2 icnehs taller) on the show tough enouhg there was 2 inches between them no more no less

I seem to recall Jones being a little taller than Morgan in the ring but no more than one inch. Jones usually looked at least 2 inches taller than Taker, whose footwear can vary greatly as we all know. Click Here Click Here Click Here Even in the Corporate Ministry days with his huge boots, Taker did not look as tall next to Big Show as Jones did.
IIRC, Morgan did wrestle Kane in OVW so there may be a few pics of the two out there. There used to be a Kane website with pics from their match but it looks like the site was taken down.
Cantstop25, the camera was level in the pic with Big Show and Morgan. Click Here Nash looked a little taller next to Big Show in the WCW days than Morgan did next to Big Show, so I think Morgan is around 6

great spot there canstop25. i have had that morgan and jones picture for ages and never noticed that it was tilted in Jones' favour Click Here
I rotated the photo 2 degrees; its level now Click Here
BTW in person Paul Wight is about 2.5-3" taller than Morgan. Morgan had a staredown with Samoa Joe at last night's pay-per-view after Joe's match with Christian. He looked to have 10" on the 5'11 Joe and Joe was in wrestling gear too

Big Show was at least 2 inches taller than Morgan. He was also at least an inch taller than Jones. Tough to say. Also perhaps Jones and Morgan wore a bit bigger footwear to come closer in height to Big Show so you never know.

here I took the pic with morgan and jones, now morgan looks taller though I think the angle is now SLIGHTLY in morgans favor, though not as much as nathan had it originally, if this picutre was leveled otu completely I still think morgan would look taller, but that is becasue nathans head is down. All in all I think they are the same exact height.

in the original show looked 3 inches taller but in this one they appear the same height. Though I chock that up to posture, I do think big show is 2 inches taller. THough this is all proof tht picutres can never prove height(especailly one!) which is why I though it was somewhat ridiculous that kane was downgraded a full inch becase he appeared only 2.5" taller then 6'5" ben

good picture alex. I actually think morgan and jones look the same heihgt therre because if you look in the background you can see the sing tilted, which means the angle is in jones favor, I dont have photoshop but if somebody could fix that so that the sign is level that would be great.

Alex; for me Morgan is between 6'8 and 6'9, he is not under or over those two figures for sure. I got a much better estimation of Morgan than other big guys like say Kane, Undertaker or Mark Jindrak as Morgan was standing in the one spot for over 20 minutes.
Jones looks in the same range, maybe max half an inch taller but no more Click Here

''Worst height estimates EVER! Don't worry Viper, you're a very closer second. "Most of the time we're on here disagreeing about an inch or so in height, but you guys are 2"-4" off of these height estimates. You might want to find another hobby."
This is rich coming from a guy who thinks Tyler Mane is 6-10, Shawne Merriman 6-4, and Andre the Giant at over 7-0 :). I think Jason is way off on Matt Morgan's height, but his estimates are pretty good overall, much more than yours LV.''
& since when are the majority always right? Bit of a logical fallacy there in his argument... lol

I agree with Danimal though. 6'4 minimum, 6'5 at most. 6'6 is too much and 6'3 is too little.

I think JBL is 6-4 when all is said and done. But he can look even shorter. JBL being 6-5-6-6 would shock me a lot more than Jason's 6-3 estimate. You know hes getting a lot of help in his cowboy boots.

"Foley's like 6'1 1/2'' at most and probably closer to 6'0'' there with his typical posture. JBL's probably in bigger footware and/or shoe inserts; he's got the typical buck-legged look in the first photo people get when doing so... I think he's 6'3'' FWIW."
Most agree with your estimated on Foley Jason. Though Im not surprised that LV was offended by it, lol. Hell, Vegas saw Mick at 6-3, where he is alone on that one.

No, Id actually say the lowest height you can go for JBL IS 6-3. He looked 6-2-6-3 with Charles Barkley as well. Nobody is saying 6-3 is a definite for JBL, except for maybe Jason. I think hes more 6-4 personally. Undertaker at 6-6? Certaintly.

There has gotta be 11 inches between Angle and Morgan there but Morgan has bigger boots which are probably giving 1 inch more than Angle's so there still would be at least 10 inches difference. 6'8-6'9 is Morgan's legit height probably.

I was at a raw house show not too long ago, and for a while I felt like these wrestlers were not near as tall as I thought they should be. But the whole night there was one pretty tall guy in the front row about 30 feet away from me and he was in one of the best spots right at the entrance so all the wrestlers were walking right by him. But when the wrestlers walked by him I only figured him to be 6'3" compared to the other wrestlers. But I must say when I got up during intermission I saw him and he was definitelly legitimately 6'6"! There was a big fella by the name of dan rodman who was listed at 6'7" on that tough enough show, but he had an easy 2 inches maybe even 3 inches on this guy (which would put him at 6

"And if Bradshaw is 6'3'' that means the Undertaker is 6'5''. Not possible."
Id say 6-4 for JBL and 6-6 for Undertaker are definite possibilites. Ive always pegged JBL as 6-4 max. And JBL did look 6-3ish on some page with a fan comparing him to other wrestlers. JBL did not look 6-5 or 6-6 with him. Though I will say Morgan is probably no shorter than 6-7 1/2 If he was listed at 6-10 in college.

Morgan's in large boots there; look at the height of the front of the shoe compared to Angle's. The wearing of lifts and large footware is rife in wrestling and Matt Morgan's a guy who's gimmick is his size. You hear about wrestlers shrinking here til the cows come home, but absolutely nowhere near as much lifts... Anyway, are you watching the rugby right now???

A 6'4-6'5 guy getting listed at 6'10 in basketball, not a chance.

At 6'6 I don't think he's going to get away with being billed at 6'10. Lowest he would be to me is 6'8 where he can get away with 6'10.

Big Show's 7'1" listings are probably in shoes. I still don't think he's shorter than 6'11", but he's not 7'1" barefoot.

The tallest I can buy JBL at is 6-4. Im much more inclined to beleive the 6-2 1/2- 6-3 that Jason saw than the 6-6 being thrown around for him.

JBL can look taller because of his cowboy boots. I don't think he's as tall as 6'6 but not as short as 6'3 like Jason thought. Somewhere from 6'4 to 6'5 but I would say he's a legit 6'5 but no more. Big Show had JBL by at least 6 inches.

yeah if you go right back to the first article dated October 6, 1990
it describes Wight as "a 7-foot-1, 332-pound center from Northern Oklahoma College"
All the entries describe Wight as a 7'1 center though, at least during the years he played basketball 1990-92

It's not easy, but an insult may just do the trick. Paul Wight, a wrestler and former Wichita State basketball player who goes by the name The Giant because of his 7-foot-tall frame"

Thing is JBL is more 6'5, but its weird because Morgan looks 6'9-6'10 to me in general. And based on that picture Morgan isn't 4-5 inches taller than JBL. JBL is known for those big cowboy boots giving 2 inches of height at least.

Morgan does seem a lot taller than JBL.. Big Show has to be a legit 7-footer. The only way he's not is if someone can argue that JBL is less than 6' 6, which I have seen him in real life before, and he does seem to be about that size.

Very true Cantstop25. Click Here Morgan looks around 2" to 2.5" taller, or probably around 1" to 1.5" taller since Akebono's likely barefoot there given that's how he wrestled. Akebono looks closer to the camera b/c of his huge gut. Morgan would never be that much taller if both were in comparable shoes. This gives you a rough idea how Morgan and ~ 6'6" JBL would measure up. Click Here

I think Morgan edges Akebono out in height. Big Show was taller against Akebono than he was against Morgan. Big Show easily 4" (or slightly more) over Akebono and only 3" over Morgan.

Big Show had Morgan by an easy 3 inches (Click Here) (Click Here). I see Morgan at around 6'9". Here, he has about 12 inches on 5'10" Kurt Angle though with the high camera angle, he would be a little shorter if he were closer to the camera (Click Here). Morgan's soles on his shoes are really big but Angle's look pretty large as well. He has Angle by at least 11 inches here (Click Here). I still think Nash, even at 47 or 48, may edge Morgan out by a shade unless Morgan has a big footwear advantage.

I also remember on Tough Enough 2 where Big Show came as a guest and was in the ring face to face with Morgan and there was only 2 inches apart no more. Morgan has stated himself he was 6'10 for Tough Enough, he could be lieing but who knows. Its Tough Enough so they may not inflate the height so he may be a legit 6'10 or 6'9 at the least.

In this video you can compare Matt Morgan with Big Show and they seem very close in height. Maybe morgan wore lifts...
I would say 6'9 for Morgan and 6'11 for Big Show today, 7' in his prime.

LV: go to Youtube and type in "Akebono vs. Royce Gracie" and you'll see the fight. Jason: Even IF you think Akebono is only 6' 5, then you should get 6' 7 COMPLETELY out of your head for Wight, because it's pretty obvious he was MUCH taller than just a measley two inches over Akebono. That's uncontested as we have full body shots of them both in barefeet. Unless you want to argue that Akebono is more like 6' 3, then there's just absolutely no way 6' 7 should even be brought up as an option anymore. With that being said, you said you mistook him for 6' 7.. that's very outrageous considering how much height has on Akebono.. and this time we can't even bring up the possibility of lifts.. which means, you either did not get that good of a view of him, or you are a very bad judge in height.. and if you can misjudge someone that bad in real life.. then I can see how you can get Akebono only being 6' 5 compared to Royce.. :)

Watching the fight now, 6'' doesn't seem unlikely by any means. They're never face to face at any point and Royce is in a lower stance most of the time they're on their feet.

This is dumb...Paul Wight is no shorter than 6'11", maybe closer to 7' in his prime. Akebono is enormous. I couldn't find a good link to Akebono/Royce but Akebono dwarfs him and Paul Wight had 4 inches on him. Anyone that thinks Big Show is anywhere near 6'7" is an idiot. His pictures with Dennis Rodman are enough to prove that.

If Akebono is only 6'5, than Bob Sapp is 6'1 and Brock Lesnar 5'11. Akebono towered over both these guys. If you look at his match against Giant Silva, Silva is not that much taller than Akebono. I would like to see him standing in front of Big Show, I doubt he would be taller than him.

And, I'm not talking about their promotional pics or anything where we don't know what kinda of ground they are standing on, or they are wearing shoes of unknown thickness. In their fight, they are barefooted and we often see them in full body shots.

I went to school with Paul Wight at SIUEdwardsville at the end of 1992. The first time I met him he came into the Rec center where we were playing foosball. When he entered the room he had to duck and turn sideways. The average doorway is about 6'6" to 6'8", so I promise you that he is in fact atleast 6'10" or better. Also, I am just shy of 6'2" and I played in a 3 on 3 basketball tournament against Paul in Troy, IL. He towered over me by a significant margin and could grab the rim while barely leaving the ground. Anyone that thinks he's under 6'10" must have met someone else.

To be honest I'm confused and unsure! I remember watching a match in which Morgan and Big Show were involved and Show looked a little taller than Matt. Morgan is a huge guy and I think he is about 6'9" so I would say about 6'10" for Paul Wight. But, on the other hand, Jason has met him and think he is between 6'7" and 6'9". I also remember another guy who months ago wrote that
some big dude (a guy who was arond 6'6" 1/2) had met Big Show and thought he was 1 inch or maybe 1.5 inches taller than him. Quite confusing! IMO the pictures with Rodman are unclear ! I don't trust what WWF says, that's for sure. All I can say is that Paul Wight is somewhere between 6'7" and 7' feet, I can't be more accurate than that. I'm not sure I can believe he wears a size 18 shoe either. However, Paul Wight is a huge guy, he is at least 6'7", has huge hands and weights at least 180 Kg. 180 Kg means about 35 Kg heavier than Shaq. That's very impressive ! Ciao !

Massimo, Big Show probably would have ended up with the distorted facial features like Andre did had he not had surgery at around age 20 to remove the tumor. Big Show's head is every bit as large as Andre's, though he hadn't yet developed the overhanging brow, enlarged jaw, etc. Both had really severe forms of the disease.
Richard Kiel (Jaws from James Bond) had the surgery too but after his facial features had become distorted (the distance between his eyes widened as his skull expanded). For these patients, the surgeon operates through the nose to access the pituitary gland!
It looks like Dalip Singh (Great Khali) never had his condition treated, or at least not until after his facial features had become distorted. These patients also have enlargement of soft tissue, including in the head and neck. You can see how enlarged Singh's tongue is, which causes him difficulty in speaking. The soft tissue around the vocal cords also enlarges, which then affects the voice. Watch the YouTube video on 8

I don't know who you are talking about, but I remember that, about 10 years ago, Radhouane Charbib was a guest in an Italian TV-Show. He was 2.35 at the time (now I heard he is 2.27) and,wow,looked HUGE. He was twice taller than all the other persons in the show. He made look Fabrizio Frizzi ( the talkshow host) like... An atom. And Frizzi is not a small guy by any means, he is 6'2" or 6'3" and weights probably around 190-200 lbs. I guess Radhuane has a tumor in his pituitary gland.

And Frizzi is not a small guy by any means, he is 6'2" or 6'3" and weights probably around 190-200 lbs. I guess Radhuane has a tumor in his pituitary gland.

Massimo, as JT has already pointed out, some people have more extreme cases of acromegaly than others. It could just be that Andre's was more severe than Big Show's. Or more likely, it could be because Big Show had his tumor removed at an early age, while Andre didn't.

You should have seen this one guy with acromegaly I saw on a TV program last year. I don't think it developed until he was like 40, the guy was 50-something years old. He was about 6'2'' and had enlarged features and big feet ... but man, you should have heard his voice. Deepest voice I've ever heard bar none -- it was absolutely unreal. He made Andre nearly sound like a choire boy. Come to think of it, I think this was in Italy lol.

I think there can be other sources besides the pituitary gland, but it's usually that. There's also other different conditions that cause very tall stature or acromegaly-like features. Estrogen resistance and Marfan Syndrome to name a couple. Big Show seems more normal than Andre did, but I would say it's extremely evident with him, too... lol

Thank you guys for the explainations. I'm still a little confused! Is the tumor in the pituitary gland the only existing form of gigantism ? It's a quite complicated issue. Andre the Giant looked much more affected from this disease than Big Show. Big Show looks much more normal than Andre, his head is smaller. By looking at him I wouldn't even know that he has (or "had", I heard he has had a surgery) this illness. In Andre's case sadly it was evident. Thanks again.

They're the same thing, it's just called acromegaly when it develops in adulthood, after the growth plates have fused.

However it's strange the fact that all the people who have acromegaly have huge
hands and huge feet but some of them don't reach extreme heights. I mean, I have read on the Internet that Primo Carnera was legittimately measured by an American doctor at 6'5" 3/4 (even if many Italians still believe he was over 2.00) and Andre the Giant was probably below 7 feet even at his peak, not even close to a natural giant like Manute Bol. On the other hand Gheorghe Muresan is about 7'6", a full foot taller than Carnera, who suffered from the same desease. I guess there are many different kinds of acromegaly.
Acromegaly mostly develops during adulthood, while gigantism (which causes the extreme heights) develops in childhood. Acromegaly doesn't cause someone to grow any taller.
A good example of someone who has acromegaly but not gigantism is Maurice Tillet. A French wrestler from the 50's who was only 5'10 and nowadays is called "The Human Shrek", as he kind of looked like Shrek.
A good example of someone who had both acromegaly as gigantism is Andre the Giant. Look at pics of Andre when he was still a teen. He was tall but his features where still normal. When he went into adulthood he started to change very rapidly and in a matter of 2 or 3 years he changed from a healthy looking man in the person that we now all know him as.

Actually, most people with acromegaly are of average height and not even tall. It's only the ones who develop the condition when in childhood or still growing that get tall/extremely tall. It depends when it occurs.

Massimo, the people who develop the tumor in their pituitary gland at a young age (before their growth plates fuse) tend to be very tall (Andre, Big Show, Great Khali, Robert Wadlow, Jaws from the James Bond movies, etc.) Others may develop the tumor later in life, including after the growth plates have fused. They don't become any taller but their hands, feet, brow, jaw, etc. will continue to enlarge from the excessive growth hormones. Also, some people have a mild form of the disease while others have a more severe form.

Probabaly you're right. The ones I saw weren't good pictures. I have found them in gettyimages.com . However, I have never seen a picture in which Paul Wight looked 4"+ inches taller than Rodman. Anyway, Big Show always looks taller than the other wrestlers. I would like to see him with some tall basketball player like Shaq, Yao, Mutombo or others to solve any doubt. I remember Jason saying that Paul Wight looked 6'7", 6'7" 1/2 when he met him and ,if I remember well, Jason is around 6'3", a big guy, so he could judge Big Show's height well. But, of course, this is not a proof.

I was watching Big Show's pictures with Dennis Rodman and Paul doesn't look much taller than Dennis. Maybe Jason is right, who knows ? When I watch (very rarely actually) Big Show's matches in Italy, the commentator use to say he is
2.23! What an exaggeration! Funny that Paul Wight has 15" inches hands, the same size as Sonny Liston, a guy who was only 1.84. Primo Carnera (6'5" 3/4) had 14". 75. Howard Cosell said once that Wilt Chamberlain had bigger hands than Sonny Liston, so they were over 15", HUGE HANDS. They used to say that Andre had 16" hands but who knows if it's true. I would pay 50 Euros to know how big Shaq's hands are in inches!

Danimal: If Hogan lost 3 inches between the neck and his torso, then why aren't his legs proportionally a lot longer than the rest of his body? Proportionally, his body looks the same as it ever has. Three inches is a significant loss in any section of the body without having noticeable disfigurement.

Oh come on, now you're putting ALL the emphasis on his height loss having occured in his lower body and dismissing the fused neck and back surgeries, which in and of itself reduced this man at least 2" in height. Last I remembered, people did not wear their JEANS as a shirt or a tie. I question people's intelligence on here. Vegas, get a life and go outside for 5 minutes would you.

On a recent episode of Hogan Knows Best, Hogan got into some jeans he had since the 80s apparently, and they weren't too small for him (except that they were tight because he had gained girth since he first got the pants apparently). Goes to show that he wasn't 6' 6 or even close. I think Hogan at best was about the same height he was now, maybe an inch taller, and that's it.

A-Train was billed at 6'7-6'8 and for years I thought he actually did look it. Lifts probably the reason and gave an impression of a guy that tall. I've read his real height was 6'6 though. Unsure on his height but I would think he would be 6'5-6'6 legit though.

I think we need a Bundy page. What do you say Rob?
Danimal, you're right. He was like 2 inches taller than Bigelow who who about 6'2 himself. I think almost all here will agree that Bundy is 6'4.

LV; you cannot estimate height from that viscera/bundy video, there could be any amount of height difference there.
duncan is not 6'4 and bundy is slighty shorter than duncan when they are level but then goes closer to the camera. When the rock stood up straight in a picture with duncan (he is leaning in all the others) they were the same height Click Here
im gonna disagree with danimal, again lol, bundy is max 6'3. 6'6 John Studd towered over bundy in 1985.

Great videos. Bundy isn't much shorter than Clarke Duncan or Viscera from youtube videos. If Bundy wasn't a full 6'4", I'd be surprised. No way in hell he was close to 6'2" since he was considerably taller than the 6'1" Ed O'Neil. Its no suprise that many on here want to shrink him, that way it makes Hogan, Andre, and others shorter by comparison. At least get some legit evidence before shrinking some 2" and a random 6'2" posting on obsessedwithwrestling isn't solid proof. Here is my picture of Hogan and Bundy (Click Here) and here is a match between Bundy and Viscera (Click Here). The height difference is the same and Viscera is no shorter than 6'6" from his pictures with Big Ben and Max Starks.

Based on that youtube clip, Michael Clark Duncan and Bundy look to be around the same height. At least 6'4" for Bundy. But why the hell are we discussing his height and not Big Show's?

I didn't mean obsessedwithwrestling.com was accurate, just they tend to list wrestlers as taller rather than shorter so to speak.

Honestly about Bundy's height its debatable really and I think we need a page for him on here. I thought he could have gotten away with 6'6 7 years ago honestly but I was younger and overestimated but I think a legit 6'4 could be accurate for him. If he was as low as 6'2 I'd be shocked.

If King Kong Bundy is 6'2 than Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill) is no taller than 5'10 as the height difference between these 2 always looked 3-4 inches to me. Btw. King Kong Bundy looked taller than Michael Clarke Duncan in the MWC episode 'Flight of the Bumblebee' IIRC.

Dweeb, I agree Big Show is too old. Physically, he's an old 35 even because he's been wrestling for over a decade and a bit broken down from that.

Jason: Big Show is right in that 35 is ancient in the boxing world. And, as far as I know also, Big Show has no boxing experience. It will take him some time, like one year minimum, to be effective in boxing, and by then, he'll be even older. The size of his fists don't mean squat. Heck, I have small fists compared to most of my opponents, and it has never hindered me. About the only thing he has going for himself is size, but I'm afraid for something like this, his size is a hinderance to himself, not a help. If he's serious about this, then I don't think he'll ever be a serious contender, but more like a side show joke type of attraction.

Big John Studd was more than 2 inches taller than King Kong Bundy, more like 4.
Big Show's a bit different to Akebono. In addition to being faster and more agile (and stronger in some areas), Big Show's frame is bigger and he has 15'' fists. I dread to think of him clobbering someone. I remember when Brian Adams got into boxing and got his first match lined up, though he injured himself and had to cancel the fight, and nothing more came of his foray into boxing.

Big Show in boxing would probably be the same joke as Akebono in K-1. I hope he's not serious in persuing a career in the boxing world.
First he's already 35 years old. An age at which most pro-boxes end their careers, not start them.
Second, he's way too big and too slow. Just look at how Akebono handled himself in K-1, did he ever win a single match? He was probably physically much stronger than all of his opponents, but that wasn't enough to compensate his low speed and his lack of experience. I think that would be the same with Big Show. Although Big Show is much faster than Akebono, I doubt he will be a success in the boxing world. As far as I know he never even tried boxing before in his life. It takes more than just being big and strong to make it in the boxing world.

Boxers of the height of the Big Show rarely do well in the pro scene. Especially with his girth. He will lack the stamina to deal with a shorter, faster opponent.
Seems like 6'5" is the "usual" maximum for effective heavyweights. Although the Klitchkos are taller, that is somewhat rare. Most of the really memorable heavyweight boxers were more in the 6 to 6'3" range.

yes arjun thats what i estimated him in person and thats what i continue to stick with (even though many disagree with me on this); but in those pictures (except the first one posted) he looks 6'11-7ft not 6'10-6'11 imo. 4.5" from shows eyesbrows to top of his head, surely equates to a 5" forehead max (jason says his forehead is 5" and mine is 4.5-4.6"). personally i think it would be closer to 4.8-5" from his eyebrows to the top of his head.
Arjun; we can only speculate on footwear, for all we know Wight has flat shoes on there. We can only go with what we see and that cap lying very high on his head (in comparison to the salley pic) will negate any footwear advantage that wight has there, if any.

Vegas, JT, I could see Show as having 4.5 inches on Rodman, but no more than that, this is assuming that the cap gives Rodman a good inch. As JT said, Show has around 4.5 inches from his eyebrows to the top of his noggin, I think a bald-headed Rodman would definitely make it upto Show's eyebrows. After you cut off 1/2" for Show's footwear advantage, he comes out to basically 4 inches taller than Rodman. I can believe that Rodman is 6'7" (but not over), so Show does come out to around 6'11", and that puts Akebono at 6'7"ish as well, as Show had roughly the same amount of height on Akebono barefoot that he would have on Rodman. It is quite possible for Show to be 6'11" barefoot IMO (which is what you estimated him at, IIRC) but no more than that. Similarly, the lowest I could feasibly see him at is 6'10" (if we push Rodman down a little below 6'7", assume the cap is'nt helping Rodman's height that much etc. etc.) But def. no lower than 6'10" barefoot. Realistically speaking, I think Show is right around that 6'10.5" - 6'11" range barefoot.

I can believe that Rodman is 6'7" (but not over), so Show does come out to around 6'11", and that puts Akebono at 6'7"ish as well, as Show had roughly the same amount of height on Akebono barefoot that he would have on Rodman. It is quite possible for Show to be 6'11" barefoot IMO (which is what you estimated him at, IIRC) but no more than that. Similarly, the lowest I could feasibly see him at is 6'10" (if we push Rodman down a little below 6'7", assume the cap is'nt helping Rodman's height that much etc. etc.) But def. no lower than 6'10" barefoot. Realistically speaking, I think Show is right around that 6'10.5" - 6'11" range barefoot.

Usually with acromegalic people only the soft tissues grow grow to enormous proportions, the forehead being a hard boney part doesn't enlarge as much,

JT: in that pic, I can't tell any difference in height between Khali and Show. Khali carries his shoulders higher, which I'm not sure if he is doing that purposely to make him look taller of if it is natural. But either way, where the top of their heads are, they look exactly the same.

arjun how much taller in your opinion are 6'11 listed john salley Click Here and Olden Polynice Click Here than rodman because its got to be alot less than 4". arjun we also cannot compare a few photos of wight and rodman to a barefoot sumo staredown which is a much better estimate of height than any picture shown from here on until this website closes imo.
Click Here Heidenreich is slightly taller than 6'4-6'5 snitsky so 6'5 is probably his legit height. its funny most former nfl guys such as ernie ladd, steve mcmichael, droz etc were listed at their nfl heights in wrestling, prob same with heidenrich.

Vegas, there is 3.5 inches tops between the top of Rodman's cap and the top of Show's head. I don't know, is the cap giving Rodman a full 1.5 inches extra height? Like you said, close to 1" but 1.5 inches is pushing it - so let's say 3/4". The absolute max Show has on Rodman is 4.5 inches, more like 4 - 4.25 IMO, but let's just say 4.5. Also remember that Rodman has converse, which give him about 1/2" less height than Show's dress shoes - so the real difference is 4 inches tops, more like 3 inches and change. I cannot see Show at any taller than 6'11", as he has the 6'7" tops Rodman by no more than 4 inches. Yet I believe Rodman is at least a little above 6'6", like 6'6.5", so Show having 3 inches and change on him would put him at 6'10" minimum. 6'10" minimum to 6'11" max for Show looks ok to me.
As for Akebono, Show had him by a good 4 inches barefoot while he has 6'7" tops Rodman by no more than 4 inches barefoot. So Akebono is 6'7" at best, maybe 6'6.5" - very near in height to Rodman.

JT, why have you never done a measurement on Andre's head? Again, to prove that you can be unbiased, do one and post it on his page. I don't agree that Show's has an enormous forehead, but he does have a receding hairline, a problem Andre and Khali don't/didn't have. Andre, in particular, had a very low hair line, making his forehead appear relatively small in comparison to his head size. Right before Andre died, he had the same amount of height on the 6'7" Baba that Show had on Rodman. Most will agree Andre was at least an inch shorter (and probably more) at this point in his life than he was as a young man, but still could tower over Baba and was taller then Tyler Mane.

JT one thing i noticed about this pic Click Here is how much higher the cap is sitting on top of rodmans head as compared to the pic with salley. that cap is probably giving him close to 1" extra height and is putting off alot of people. take the cap off rodman and put it on show and there would be people claiming 6" between the two i think
This picture here shows a clear 5" between show and rodman Click Here it also proves that akebono is a legit 6'7 as show was no taller next to him than he was next to rodman.
for those saying show is just 6'9 or 6'10 in those pictures, then salley and Polynice are no more than 6'8.5 max so next to rodman.
here is a pic of salley next to shaq, not the best but there is no way shaq is 3-4" taller than salley imo Click Here

It depends how tall the b-ballers are. Some say Michael Jordan's only a flat 6'4'', though I think he's 6'4 1/2''. Jordan has a very small head which makes the rest of him longer.

JT, ultimately it all boils down to how high Rodman's skull top is under that cap. I really don't see a full 5 inches between the two, even accounting for Show's huge forehead - his forehead alone would have to be nearly 2" longer than Rodman's for this to be the case. 4 yes, maybe 4.25 ish inches at a stretch, but not 5. I also calculated that there is around 3.5 inches difference from the top of Rodman's cap to the top of Big Show's head. Is that cap giving him more than 1/2" - 3/4" - I doubt it. Also remember that Rodman has converse, which give around 1/2" - 3/4" less height than Show's dress shoes. Still, Show is bare minimum 6'10" and very possibly upto 6'11" - as I do believe that Rodman is at least a little taller than 6'6" - like around 6'6 1/2" - he looked at least that compared to Jordan and other basketballers. He could well be upto a full 6'7".

Big Show's eye level is 5.5.5 inches from the top of his head and Rodman is at the top of Show's eyes/just under eyebrows making the difference at least 4-4.5 inches. Rodman could be 6'6.5 but more likely 6'6 so Show looks in between 6'10 and 6'11 there.

JT, I do see about 4 inches between Show and Rodman, but not over that - I think the top of Rodman's head is almost to the top of that cap .... take for example Rodman's ears are about a full ear length (almost exactly 3 inches) below Show's. Show's forehead can't really be more than one full inch longer
than Rodman's, can it? One inch is a massive difference when it comes to forehead length - it's like a foot difference in total height.
Viper, yes, only in the first pic posted do I see 3 inches. But Rodman is a little closer to the camera, plus the photographer is standing very close to the two men. In the pics Vegas provided (the ones you are referring to) there is indeed about 4 inches difference - and Show does have a little advantage in footwear.

If I remember it correctly Jason back then thought Show looked 6'8 and his father thought he was 6'7. It was a different poster who claimed Big Show was 6'5/6'6. I believe he never posted again (he's probably locked back up in the asylum from which he escaped ;) ).
Rodman has a big head for his size. If you look at the picture of him and Salley, Rodman clearly has a longer head than Salley. Of course Rodman's head looks small compared to that of Big Show.
Rodman's height is as controversial as that of Big Show and Andre the Giant. To me Rodman always looked much taller than 6'6. Hogan was still a good 6'4 in his
WCW days and Rodman sure was more than 2 inches taller than him. If Rodman is 6'6, than Michael Jordan is max 6'4. Rodman probably doesn't know or care about his own height. When he was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno back in 1997 he said Big Show (at that point he and Hogan were feuding with The Giant and Lex Luger) was 7'2 and he himself was only 6'6.

Vegas, actually Jason thought 6'7 1/2" - 6'9" for Show , I remember those figures clearly. He said that the most he could feasibly see Show at was 6'9". I don't think he said 6'6". Anyhow 6'8" - 6'9" is still just too low for Show. If Rodman is say 6'6.5", then Show is still at least 6'10" as he has Rodman by around 4 inches (not 5 though) in most of the pics. In the one where he has only 3 inches on him, Rodman is closer to the camera, you can tell by how big his head looks (nearly as big as Show's, and we know that Rodman's head is a good deal smaller than Show's. Rodman's head is probably 10 inches or so, average for a 6'7" guy, while Show's is an easy 12 inches.) So Show does have about 4 inches on Rodman, but that is with a footwear advantage of 1/2" or so, as Rodman has converse while Show appears to have standard dress shoes. Still, the bare minimum for Show is 6'10", and maybe upto a full 6'11", though no more as Rodman is nothing over 6'7" flat. I think it is fair enough to put Show at 6'10" minimum , 6'11" max.

''Danimal, it is a very bad habit of mine and I really need to quell it :)
Anyhow, in the other pics which Vegas posted, Show looks to have a good bit of height over Rodman (upto 4 inches if Rodman's cap is giving him a 1/2" or so ) That looks more like what I would expect - If Show is 3.5 - 4 inches taller than Rodman, then that puts him at near 6'11" if Rodman is 6'7" - but wait, as Editor Rob said, Rodman is wearing converse, so an easy 1/2" less than Show's shoes there. I still think Show could well be upto 6'11", but I ain't ruling out an even 6'10" either. But there is still no way that there is 5 inches between Show and Rodman, even in these other pics. John Salley is closer to 6'10" IMO, as Shaq who is 7'0" has around 2 inches on him. Show is taller than 6'7" (obviously :) but shorter than 7'0" - I concur with Viper that he's 6'10" - 6'11".
Jason, if Rodman is a little over 6'6", I could still see Show at 6'10", even after you take off his footwear advantage. I can now see why he looked only 6'8" to you (with bad posture) - a 6'10" guy can give a 6'8" impression, a 7'0" guy can't (not to someone like you at least who is quite good at estimating heights in general)''
Maybe you'll convert me to a 6'10'' Big Show yet. :D

I said Big Show gave a 6'6'' impression from a long distance, never said he looked that right in front of me - I said he appeared 6'7'' and was 6'8'', maybe 6'9'' at a big push. I thought you never remember anything incorrectly? ;) Cena indeed looked 6'1'' to me ... but who says I can't over-estimate? I freely admit I may be wrong about Big Show, but dude, you may be also. His height, no matter what some here like to think, is not 100% proven.

I said Big Show gave a 6'6'' impression from a long distance, never said he looked that right in front of me - I said he appeared 6'7'' and was 6'8'', maybe 6'9'' at a big push. I thought you never remember anything incorrectly? ;) Cena indeed looked 6'1'' to me ... but who says I can't over-estimate? I freely admit I may be wrong about Big Show, but dude, you may be also. His height, no matter what some here like to think, is not 100% proven.
