Dreamer looks 6'0 with that guy. There isn't more than 3 inches between them.

If Lesnar had Dreamer by at least 2 inches then Dreamer is probably more 6'0 then.

Big Show, 12-15% body fat is still good and I don't consider it high either. Especially on a guy of Brock's weight 12-15% is good. 20% and more is high I'd say. Brock is more on the bulk side but does have some cuts.

Dreamer isn't nowhere near 260lbs. He looks 225-230lbs or I could be wrong and he could be a bit more.

On the here comes the pain DVD dreamer says he's 260 pounds. Thats ridiclous IMO he wishes i think he's Dreamers about 235 max he's simply not that big or that tall.

Brock Lesnar is one of the few WWE stars who's weight I could actually buy. 285 lbs I can believe. The guy is huge, but he doesn't have much dry muscle mass. He's got quite a lot of bodyfat (look at his tadpoles). I'd say his bodyfat percentage would be around 12-15%. Honestly Alex, Brock doesn't look like he's 300lbs+ now. He's not that much bigger (if any) than he was during his WWE days. But doesn't anyone agree with me that this guy would be a great addition to the ECW-roster.
I've seen the pics of Tommy Dreamer and Big Show on WWE.com. Big Show indeed looks 11 inches taller than Dreamer (the same as 4 years ago during the ECW/WCW invasion, so I don't think he's wearing different shoes as he was back then). The question is, how tall is Dreamer? Honestly, he doesn't look anywhere near 6'3. I have to watch the video of his match with Brock Lesnar again. Since Lesnar is a legit 6'2, this would be a good comparison. From memory, Lesnar did seem to be 2 or 3 inches taller, which would make Dreamer 5'11 to 6', but Dreamer does slouch an awful lot. He hardly ever stands straight during matches.

Dreamer's height is usually billed anywhere from 6'2"-6'3". I say 6'2" is more likely, maybe even 6'1". Big Show was wearing his huge shoes that night though. They had to give him about 1.5" in height. So if Dreamer is 6'1", Big Show may have been 7' in those shoes. Without them, he may be 6'10.5" or 6'11".

I dont think that the Show is below 6'11 to tell you the truth Alex. I actually think he could be called 7'0 judging him to Dreamer who is probobly 6'0 or 6'1. I dont think dreamer is below 6'0 so seing as Big Show dwearfed him I think Big show is 6'11 or 7'0

How many inches do you guys think it is from the top of Big Show's head to his eye level? 5 inches I'd say.

I noticed the height difference too Alex. Big Show looked to be a head taller when he wasn't looking down at Dreamer. I'd say he looked around 11" taller than Dreamer, 10" at the very least.

Yeah, he was listed at 285 in the NFL. He first weighed in at camp at only 269, though. He gained some weight after.

Actually I think Lesnar looks close to his billed weight. 285lbs, maybe 290lbs. He was weighed in at 285lbs 2 years ago for the Vikings.

Nash could have just been in cowboy boots with Miller, though. Can't see their footware in that pic. Miller would be 6'7''ish minus shoes I'd think.

Viper652, If Nash is only 6'8 max, than Undertaker was 6'6 at peak max. (which I know a lot of guys on this board will disagree with). Also Oliver Miller will only be the 6'6 range if Nash is only 6'8.
Yes, Choi has acromegaly, but so did Big Show in his early career and his head is huge. Akebono's head didn't look as small compared to Big Show's head as it did compared to Choi's head. Akebono doesn't have a small head himself you know. He's a 500 lbs+ mountain of a man.
I don't think Benoit weighs 220 lbs. Here's a picture of Bill Pearl a genuine 5'9, 220 lbs man. He's a lot bigger than Benoit, and definately more massive.

Bleemo, I would have guessed Benoit was 5'8'' 215lbs. And as you guys can attest, I'm not one for underestimating lol. I think WWE only bills him at 229 or something, though?
Viper, yep, Pippen was listed as 6'7'' right up until 1998 when he left the Bulls and went to the Trailblazers & the Blazers bumped up his height to 6'8''. Did he grow at age 33? Of course not. Chicago just had him at his real height while the Blazers did the NBA standard bump up. Players have the option of being listed at their barefoot height, I would guess 80-90% don't exercise it though. Rodman, on the other hand, opted to have his barefoot height listed as his official one when he went to the Bulls as his below average height for a power forward (NBA power forwards average 6'8'' bare foot in today's NBA, I would guess slightly less in the 80s) was no longer an issue as it was when he was starting out as he'd established himself as one of the league's few best rebounders despite his height.

Jason, Benoit could be around 215lbs but thats the lowest and 220lbs is possible. He's a big guy, well not tall but he has good mass and is pretty cut too. If Benoit is only 187lbs that means I am 8-13lbs heavier since I am 195-200lb range as it flucuates. Also I am a good few inches taller than this guy but I stick to 220lbs for him.
Brock probably isn't the 295lbs he is billed as but I think he's one of the few that are pretty close to his billed weight. Def looks in the 285-290lb range.

Jason that video confirms for me that Nash is 6-8 Max like I have always said. JT, Pippen was listed at 6-7 for YEARS until they boosted his height to 6-8. Pippen is only 6-7, Rodman is only 6-6.

I find this weight thing very bizzare, there is 14 pounds in a stone, this is a fact. I am 5'8.5 barefoot, i've been measured many times at this height and I weigh bang on 12 stone, which is 168 lbs.
There's no way Benoit is only about 20 lbs heavier then me. I'm naturally broad across the shoulders and in general have a marginally bigger build then average. However I would refer to myself as being athletically built, not a bodybuilder's build by any stretch of the imagination, Benoit could be a lighter bodybuilder.
I bet I'd be dwarfed by this guy in build, the man is ripped. It's hard to tell exactly, but he's got way bigger biceps, triceps and chest then me. He's got to weigh atleast 200lbs surely? maybe more as Jason says, I mean he is genuinely in the 5'8-5'9 range height wise.

Having seen Benoit in person, I would guess he's around 215lbs. I couldn't possibly see him being only 187. Brock Lesnar did look closer to 270lbs than 295, though.

Big Show, Choi's head is much bigger because he has acromegaly. ;)
Cantstop25, the difference at the end was due to proximity to the camera. When they were level with each other Nash was only marginally taller. Nash has bad posture? And like Rodman's is good? lol
JT, Pippen was listed as 6'7'' all those years with the Bulls. I think it's highly unlikely to say the least they would have done that had he been 6'8''. Rodman himself has said he's 6'6'' numerous times. Even Rob has Rodman at 6'6 1/2''. Rodman is clearly slightly below Pippen:

Now I know some will say, hey Michael Jordan is 6'6''. But any basketball fan worth their salt knows the majority of NBA listed heights are in shoes + rounded up.

Hong-Man Choi once competed in a beach volleybal tournament (you can find the vid on youtube.com). They compared Choi to the height of the volleyball net, which was 7'2 heigh. Comparing him to this net, Choi was 7'0.65 (215 cm). He was barefeet, so I have no doubt to believe that this guy is over 7 feet tall. The full scaled pictures between Choi and Akebono, heavily favour Choi. Just compare their heads. Choi's head looks much bigger, indicating that he stood a little bit closer to the camera. I would say the height difference between the two of them is no more than 5-6 inches. That would make Akebono 6'6.5 - 6'7.5.
I don't know how tall Rodman is, but I think he's somewhere between 6'6.5 - 6'7. He was like 2 inches taller than Michael Jordan, who's listed on this site as 6'5. I don't think you should downgrade Nash's height, based on this video. There is far better material out there on the net that proves Nash is somewhere around 6'9 - 6'10 (like his match with the Undertaker and the pic with Oliver Miller).
I remember they showed this clip once in the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, when they were having an interview with Rodman. Leno said that Rodman looked like a small child next to the Giant. Rodman replied: "Well he's 7'2 and I'm about 6'6".
Pete, I believe I'm the one that ones said that Benoit is "muscular but not massive", and I stand behind my quote. I'm fanatic weightlifter myself, and at my gym I've seen a couple of bodybuilders who were big, but didn't at all weigh as much as I thought. One guy was probably around the same height as Benoit. He was more massive, but not as ripped as Benoit. This guy only weighed a 165 lbs!
Benoit is pretty ripped, which means he has dry muscle mass. People with dry muscle mass don't weigh as much as you think. Just look at those bodybuilders. They're a lot bigger than Benoit and they're in the 220-230 lbs range.

Doug Collins, former coach of the Bulls, said Pippen was 6'9". I think that's stretching it, but I bet he was a strong 6'8". He looked around 2.5 to almost 3 inches taller than Jordan in many pictures. I never bought Rodman's revised listing of 6'6". I don't see him any shorter than 6'7.5" or 6'8". Rodman had around a 2 to 3 inch height advantage on Hogan, whereas Nash usually looked around 5 inches taller than Hogan. I heard that Rodman suffered some type of injury when he mistimed Big Show's choke slam.

Can't see Nash having 2 or 2 1/2 inches on Rodman. Rodman compares to Nash slightly better than what Taker did. I would say 1, 1 1/2 max.

How can some of you say that Benoit is "muscular but not massive" or "skinny for his height". The guy may not be tall (in the 5'9 range when I met him) but he's definitely HUGE! Even with one good decade of serious weightlifting very few guys could naturally attain the physique he has. He is super stocky and extremely muscular. Most of you guys could ever dream of ever having such a physique so please quit talking nonsense about wrestlers' builds!

I'd say Rodman is 6'6'' flat, but he could be 6'6 1/2'' as Rob has him. He isn't quite as tall as 6'7'' Scottie Pippen. Either way, Nash is only about one inch taller than him. And yeah, I would say Hogan is about 2 1/2 inches shorter than Rodman. Maybe 3? Dunno, but regardless it's obvious Hogan wasn't as tall as 6'5'' in the late 90s. I'd say Big Show is 3-3 1/2'' taller than Akebono.

Huk Hogan & Dennis Rodman vs the Giant and Lex Luger. Unfortunately there's no good comparison between Rodman & the Giant there but the rest of the NWO does a run in and Kevin Nash is only an inch or so taller than 6'6'' Rodman! You even see Rodman waltz over to Nash and high 5 and then hug him. Rob, what do you make of this? You had Nash listed here as 6'10''! :)

Doesn't look like much difference to me, man. Certainly not as much as the pic you're talking about of Sapp with Akebono might suggest. You can see clear as day Akebono's heels are twice as big as Sapp's, they're some large heels while Sapp's are flat as a board.
In the comparison pics of Choi with both Sapp and Akebono, Choi is in practically the same stance and tilt of head in both but his eye level is only about an inch and a half higher up compared to Sapp's head than it is to Akebono. The pic with 6'3 1/2'' Remy Bonjasky further confirms Choi isn't 7'2''. If Choi is only 7'0'', that puts Akebono's real height at around 6'5''. Akebono, at best, comes just a little bit short of Choi's eye level:

Akebono is usually lited at 6'8 but i have heard reports of 6'7. If he is as low as 6'6 i still see Choi at 7'0. If Ake is 6'6 then the Big Show is 6'10 MAX. I dont think Akebono is 6'6, he got to be taller. My opinions are
Choi is 7'0.5 to 7'2
Big Show 6'10 to 7'0
Akebono 6'7-6'8

Akebono is much closer in height to Choi (Click Here) than Sapp is (Click Here). In these photos, Choi looks around 7'0".
Jason, the shoe that Akebono is wearing in the photo with Sapp is a standard dress shoe. The heel may be bigger than the one on Sapp's shoe (the photo isn't that clear) but not by much. A 4 inch difference in height seems plausible.

In that second pic you posted Jason, Choi only looks 2 inches taller than Akebono.
During their match, Akebono dwarfed Bob Sapp. He was definately 3 to 4 inches taller than Sapp. In the pic with Sapp, Akebono is wearing normal dressing shoes (maybe 1.5 inch heel). The size advantage for Akebono would probably be only 1 inch.

Noel, did you see the same Waterboy movie as I did. Big Show only appeared in the beginning of the movie as a wrestler. He was interviewed by a fat commentator. After that, he didn't have any scene in that movie. Definately not one with Adam Sandler.
I remember I went to see the Waterboy in theaters back in 1998, just to see Big Show. There were some problems with the movie projector, so the first 5 minutes of the movie were wasted. Therefor I missed half of Big Show's performance.

Jordan, Khali will be physically stronger than Big Show, because he used to be a power lifter. But as a wrestler, Big Show is definately stronger. Carrying around weights is not the same as carrying around grown-up men. I myself can squat 398 lbs, but I have to put up some effort in lifting a 243 lbs man on my shoulders. Big Show has the ability in throwing around (giant) men as if they were ragdolls. I mean, just look at his chokeslam, no one can perform it the way he does it. He can actually hold his opponent up in the air for a couple of seconds. I've seen this Khali do a chokeslam in Japan, and it absolutely sucked. Think of the chokeslams that Giant Gonzales gave to the Undertaker, they're on the same level.

Big Show didnt look close to 7-0 tonight on ECW. What really blows my mind is how relatively short he can look on close up lower angles, which is bizarre.

I think Big Show has maybe lost a little height as he has aged and added weight that gravity uses against him.

6'3''-6'4'' (listed here as 6'4'', has said he's such, but he's listed at many places as 190cm - a flat 6'3'') Bob Sapp facing down Choi.

And then Akebono facing down Choi with Choi in the exact same pose...
Akebono was just wearing big heeled shoes in the promotional pic with Sapp while Sapp was in flats as I pointed out, the real difference between them as these pictures show is much less, more like 1.5'' than 3 or so.
The pics of Choi with Sapp and Bonjasky show Choi to be closer to 6'11'' than 7'2''. Yet Choi is 6-7'' taller than Akebono. Big Show is only 3-4'' taller than Akebono...
Incidentally, KingNick - I said Big Show was 4 inches taller than Akebono before by mistake. I should say 3-4, man.

Choi looks to be between 6'11'' and 7'0'' if Remy Bonjasky's original 192cm (6'3 1/2'') metric measurement is spot on legit. Looks to be right about 8 inches taller than Bonjasky if you give him an Andre the Giant like 6 inches from the top of his head to his eyes, the top of Remy's head falls about 2 inches short of them.

More like 4''. If Akebono was really 6'8'', then Big Show would be 7'0''. JT was comparing Akebono to that gigantic Korean MMA dude who's supposedly 7'2'' to try to guage Akebono's real height. I remember seeing a pic of the Korean guy standing next to Sapp at a MMA promotional event and he looked more like 6'10'' or 6'11'' next to Sapp. Haven't been able to find the pic again as of yet.

Gramps and Crazy Horse, those are great photos. Thank you for finding them, I was looking for them for the longest time. It's hard to say, but I say Big Show has about 2-3 inches over Akebono. So it depends on Akebono's real height. If he's really 6'8", then Show should be about 6'10" or 6'11"

Big Show, who do you think is physically stronger out of Big Show and Khali. My opinion is that Khali might be stronger but the Big Show has tons more athletic ability. I alos think that the show is 6'11 minimum and khali might have a little over an inch on him.

Christian, the heel in that picture looks strange. Here's another recent shot of Big Show's heel (photo #17), which looks like the same heel that's on Orton's boot (the guy he is choke-slamming). Click Here If he's wearing a bigger heel now, maybe WWE is trying to make Big Show as tall as Singh (Great Khali).

Akebono weighs in around 450lbs for his MMA matches and looks just as big if not bigger there than he did vs Big Show at Wrestlemania last year. Akebono was regarded as like the biggest sumo wrestler there is, so it makes sense WWE wouldn't have had Big Show come in heavier.

Jordan, Akebono could be more than 500lbs. Maybe 525lbs but whatever he is its of pure fat. Big Show does have fat on him too but hes more bulk/fat with some muscle in his arms.

Big Show, if akebono and Big SHow engaged in a real sumo match would you agree that Big Show would be alot stronger then Akebono, because just looking at those pics of Show and Ake, I think Akebono is 500 lbs of fat, while the big Show has some series muscle in his massive arms.

Jordan, some say that the weigh-in of Akebono and Big Show was a shoot, but I have my doubts about that. Seeing as the difference between the two was just so small, I was wondering what the hell the WWE were planning to accomplish with this segment. Akebono 'only' weighed about 15 lbs more, which you can't really consider an advantage.
Knowing WWE, if it was a shoot, they would've let Big Show weigh-in at just over 500 lbs, seeing as he has always been billed at 500 lbs, and he has become considerably fatter over the years.
Bob Sapp said himself in an interview he was 6 foot 1/3, which is the same as 6'4. He's been billed anywhere from 6'3 to 6'10. I think 6'4 is the correct height for him.

Almost every photo of Akebono and Big Show has Akebono at about the eyebrow level of Big Show, meaning there should be at least a 4 inch difference in height. Both have such rotund builds that your eyes really don

It's not perfect because there is still a camera angle that has Akebono a bit closer. Note the angle is from the right, a little behind Akebono.

Go to the Brock Lesnar site, where I posted a video of Brock Lesnar vs. Akebono. If Lesnar is 6'2, than Akebono is definately 6'7 - 6'8. When he stands up straight he really towered over Lesnar. The same thing with Big Show, if he stood up straight, he really dwarfed Lesnar.

One of Bob Sapp's official listings is 6'3'' so he could be 6'3'' and change, or just a flat 6'3'' since the listing is metric (190cm). If you look at their shoes, Sapp's are flat where as Akebono's have a big heel.

WCW could bill their wrestlers bigger because their rings were smaller.
I've never seen Big Show wear classic Kane type lifts, but I have seen him in some chunky old heels in the ring. I see 4 inches between Big Show and Akebono, if I knew Akebono really was 6'7'' or 6'8'' then Big Show is 6'11''-7'0''. From my experience, I can only conclude Akebono isn't in that range personally.

I would think a man of Big Show's size in the ring wrestling with lifts would be pretty dangerous. I doubt he wears lifts in the ring. His heels look 1-1.5 inches. Or it could be hes 6'10-6'11 and 7'0 in wrestling boots. Most wrestlers standard boots give 1-1.5 inches anyway besides Kane's old boots that gave more.

Sorry Im talking about Yokoso so much.As far as big show I think he is more like 6'10 or 6'11. I heard at a few sites that they had him at 6'11 in his basketball team when he was 24. I wonder if he grew from 24. He did have that disease, right. There is a "famous height list" that you can go to from google. I dont remenber which site but from google it could be found, and that is where I got my info on him being 6'11.

Maybe Big Show could be as low as 6'10 but under that I refuse to believe. If was 6'8 then he'd boost his height up 4 inches when he says 7'0 on talk shows.

Triple H comes up to about the back of Big Show's neck. Triple H is at least 4 inches above the back of Stark's neck. Big Show has a bigger head than Starks as well.
I still think Singh may be up to 2 inches taller than Big Show, though Singh's relatively lean appearance (if you can call a 400 pounder "lean") may create the impression that he is taller than he really is.

Yokozuna was indeed in the 6'1'' range. In fact, I've seen him listed at 6'1'' before. But he was only a little over 400lbs in his early WWF days. They used to put layers of padding in his trunks to make him look even bigger. He eventually did blow up to over 500lbs (when he was still wrestling), though. He got bigger again after he disappeared from the spotlight.

If Show is 6-8 that means Taker and Kane are 6-3 to 6-4. Orton would be like 6-0 and so would Batista. Than Rey Mysterio would be 4-10. Umaga and Mark Henry would only be 5-10 or 5-11. Kevin Nash would be 6-6.This would also make most of the Divas under 5 feet! I'm sorry but thats just BS. Because how do explain him having 4.5 inches or so on Akebono who is known everywhere for being 6-8 or 6-7 when they were barefoot and with shoe's on. I would also like to point out that Show had basically the same height difference with his shoes on and Akebono being barefoot at the weigh in before Wrestlemania 21. Therefore his boots can only make him an inch taller or less taller. Does anyone agree on any point I've made?

Because how do explain him having 4.5 inches or so on Akebono who is known everywhere for being 6-8 or 6-7 when they were barefoot and with shoe's on. I would also like to point out that Show had basically the same height difference with his shoes on and Akebono being barefoot at the weigh in before Wrestlemania 21. Therefore his boots can only make him an inch taller or less taller. Does anyone agree on any point I've made?

ER its very hard to tell how tall someone is when they are sitting down. I'd have to take a look at the picture again to see how far he was up to me sitting down but also me and my friend were in front of the table and closer to the camera too.

HHH were's lifts to make him 6-4 instead of 6-2 he's not wearing his lifts in that pictures with Starks because if he is Straks would be close to 6-10 instead of 6-7 or 6-8.

I actually disagree because he looked a lot taller than Lashley who's 6-3 and Big Show was standing up that straight. Plus he look taller next to Orton and Henry than Undertaker did he was leaning a lot as well.

With Big Show going to the ECW roster we may finally have Big Show and Singh face off or have a match very soon I think. We may finally get our wish. And also on WWE vs ECW last night Big Show didn't even look as tall as he normally does and that is comparing him to Kurt Angle.

Yokozuna was more 6'1-6'1.5. I remember Lex Luger had him by a good 2 inches. His weight looked pretty legit I tell you. The man never looked under 500lbs. 600lbs or so before he quit WWE and I heard he got up to 700lbs or so when he died. Thats one FAT man.

The top of the guy's head is a fraction of an inch above the very bottom of Big Show's chin. Big Show's beard there isn't long, that's not hair hanging below his chin.

Alex, how tall did Big Show appear to you when he was sitting? I mean, could you tell that he would tower over just about anyone if he stood up? I mean if he's close to 7-0 he would be taller than alot of people even when sitting down.

Hey you guys.... in this pic of HHH facing Starks... isn't that the way Big Show looks next to HHH? Time to downgrade Show I believe, it looks like Jason might be right about the 6'8 for Big Show. I personally always thought Show was 6'9 or 6'10, but he looks the same as Starks here.

The man standing with Big Show has pics on his website of him next to Conan O'Brien and Sylvester Stallone. He looks more than 4 inches shorter than Conan and perhaps 1 (maybe 2) inches taller than Stallone.

If that guy is 5'10 then it makes Big Show 6'9.5-6'10. Hes just under Big Show's chin and Big Show's head has gotta be 11 inches. The average man's head is 8'9 inches. Mine is in the 8-9 inch range, gotta check to make sure but I know its anywhere from 8-9 though.

Another Samoan wrestler Yokozuna was billed as 6'4 while he was 2 inches shorter then Lex Luger at Wrestlemania 10. Yoko wresteled barefoot but I dont think luger was 6'4 like they said. Luger was probobly 6'2 1/2 making yokozuna only 6'1. Also many people say that Bret Hart is only 5'11 and Yokozuna actually looked only 1 inch taller then HArt at wrestlemania 10. Yes Yoko was BArefoot but could not have been 6'4. I do think he was over 500lbs. If you guys have wrestlemania 10 try to watch the face off between yoko and luger and remeber that Luger was not 6'4 like the WWE billed him as so how could yoko be 6'4.
