Triple h looks 6'1-6'2 next to gunn
Bud said on 30/Mar/14
I he is 193cm,than that would put triple h at 189
Click Here but that would mean Cena is at least 185 which he isn't,so i am confused
James said on 11/Jan/14
Just to look at this guy on TV he looks nowhere near 6'4 yet when u see him next to a 5'11 guy like cm punk he towers him.
Maybe his bulk makes him look shorter?
6'4.25 (194cm) peak
6'4 (193cm) today
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 5/Jan/14
Rob, who looked taller this bloke or DDP?
I know Gunn is a much bulkier guy (whether that's natural or not is beyond me) and DDP has a much leaner look. Maybe that might make the latter look taller.
Editor Rob
both can look near to 6ft 4, Gunn I think might look a little taller.

stood next to him for an autograph at Chicago City Limits once. Seemed like he was about an inch taller than me, hovering around 6'0.
___________
if he was 6ft the top of robs head would come to gunns eyebrows.
compare the shot above with this one, the guy in that photo measured roughly 6'3.5 barefoot

Mathew said on 17/Dec/13
He looks under 6'4" to me. But he's not under 6'3". Most likely he's somewhere between. But not the full 6'4".

stood next to him for an autograph at Chicago City Limits once. Seemed like he was about an inch taller than me, hovering around 6'0. Felt similar to when I met Ultimate Warrior. Definitely nowhere close to Jake Roberts or DDP, who I would put in the 6'3-6'4 range. Dustin Rhodes is also taller, and I'd put him around 6'2-6'3. The impression I left with was that Billy was way shorter than I expected.

In this photo, Billy Gunn is stood next to Dolph Ziggler. If Billy is 6'4 does that make Dolph atleast 5'10 to 5'11. In the photo Dolph is just at Billy's nose. Also they do look like father and son lol.
KJK said on 17/Jun/13
Billy Gunn definitely look around 193 cm in the picture with Rob. That means his height matches his billed height in Wrestling pretty good.
BEASTMAN said on 28/May/13
@Dan: Stop
trolling.
BEASTMAN said on 28/May/13
@avi: No he's not a strong 6'3. They're losing the same amount of height. If they both stood up straight, there would still be AT LEAST a solid 20 cm difference.
Dan said on 27/May/13
He looks only 6-6.5 inches taller than you here. I have a hard time seeing it as 8 inches.
TAJ said on 26/May/13
I met Billy Gunn along with Road Dogg who is 6'1", and he was 3-3.5 inches taller, with a footwear disadvantage, as Road Dogg always wore bigger boots. This was at a house show in Baltimore in 2011, so he has probably lost some height. But I would say 6'5"
avi said on 14/May/13
@Rob, by you being so close it makes you look shorter like hes pushing you in towards him. hes probably a strong 6'3. if you move more to the right (in the picture away from him) and hold your head up like him he will struggle with a full 7 inches.
J-Dog said on 4/May/13

Mathew said on 25/Apr/13
Doesn't really look the full 6'4" in this picture. 6'4" is possible if Rob thought it in person. I'd still consider knocking a half inch off though. He doesn't look over 6'3.5" here and tons of places list him at 6'3".
Derek said on 25/Apr/13
Billy will be 50 this year. Still looks 6'3.5"-6'4".
The Ben said on 22/Apr/13
He was billed anywhere from 6'3 to 6'6.
If Rob says he's 6'4 then surely he can be used as a measuring stick for other WWE and TNA wrestlers.
Alex said on 19/Apr/13
How old is he right now anyway? He sure must have lost a few cms.
johno said on 18/Apr/13
and oh, he used to be billed at 6'6 in the smoking guns.
johno said on 18/Apr/13
About 6'4 in that picture. With rob standing straight he would be around 6'3.5
Bard said on 6/Apr/13
Looks 6'3.5 in the pic but I wouldn't doubt 6'4 in his prime
Mathew said on 25/Mar/13
I wouldn't be shocked if he was only 6'3", he's mentioned at that height a lot. Still sticking with between 6-3 and 6-4 though.
jimmy said on 23/Mar/13
@Ali Baba He must be the only guy these days that his actual height(6'3") is the same with his billed height.The strange is that he looks taller than Rob Terry and only 1 inch shorter than Undertaker.
Kidd said on 21/Mar/13
Looked an inch taller than lesnar on raw so 6'3.5 on the money today
Juju said on 12/Mar/13
I see two inches aswell vegas, but gunn has his shoulder over road doggs and road dogg has bad posture. Six three for dogg
The Ben said on 7/Mar/13
If Rob says he's 6'4 then that's about as good as it gets for an estimate.
Its great to compare him to the current guys on screen, hopefully it'll end the constant downgrades in height.
Vegas said on 7/Mar/13
road dogg looks about 2 inches shorter than gunn

James said on 6/Mar/13
what about road dogg?
James said on 20/Feb/13
He was a strong 6'4 guy in his early carrier yet just too look at him when he was in WWE 6'4 seems hard too believe. The impression he gave me was 6'3. I guess he could look 6'4 sometimes as well but he looked 6'3 a hell of a lot too me.
Like rob said though wrestlers can sometimes carry themselves shorter.
Rikashiku said on 14/Feb/13
He looked small compared to 6'4" Damien Sandow. Then again, it could have been the position of the cameras.
Jamesy said on 31/Jan/13
He was probably a strong 6'4 in the 90s.
Mathew said on 30/Jan/13
I think he's possibly more a 192 cm than 193 cm guy. He looked a bit taller than Rob Terry in the stare down though, who's listed at 193 cm as well. Ali Baba (who has met Rob Terry) wrote on his page there's not a chance he's 6'4". Rob (editor) indincated in a response to one of my earlier posts on this page that he thinks that Terry's standing posture may be bad.
What I would peg them at: I'll go with 6'3.75" for Billy Gunn and 6'3.5" for Rob Terry. I think given the evidence in it's entirety that makes more sense than both at 6'4" even, but we are splitting hairs I suppose.
Editor Rob
terry looks like a guy who can walk with an inch compressed spine from what I saw, but I saw him stretching up and looking near 6ft 4
Lillo thomas said on 28/Jan/13
He is looking 6-3 in the pic but he could be 6-4 in person . Pics aren't very accurate to judge height sometimes .
Trent said on 28/Jan/13
I say 6'3.5 - 6'3.75 with Rob. At 49 he maaayyybe could be down a smidge from his peak. So I think 6'3.75 would be a good listing.
miko said on 28/Jan/13
If he's 6'3 he's certainly at the upper end of it.
Jamesy said on 24/Jan/13
6'4-6'4.5 in his 20s.
LG69 said on 23/Jan/13
6'4" is spot on.
Cj said on 23/Jan/13
Had an interview on the TNA Website a few years back where he stated he was 6ft 3in and in great shape when talking about going on a singles run after splitting up with BG James.
I cant find the interview any more but if anyone can it should roughly say what i have just wrote.
PLB said on 20/Jan/13
I was only 6'3.5" when I was 18. Luckily I grew some more. It took until I was 25 before I finally got to 6'4". And I stayed that height my whole life until at age 69 I fell down a cliff. I hurt my back and was house bound for six months. At the end of that time I lost about two inches.
I think something like this happens to a lot of pro wrestlers. Normal men slowly lose height over a period of many years. No one even notices, It's so gradual. But if you take a lot of falls you can get your spine reworked in a single evening and suddenly become shorter. I think that's what happened to the formerly much taller Hulk Hogan. It looks to me as if he lost four inches. This guy looks about 6'4" here but if he is a wrestler that figure is subject to change at any time.
James said on 3/Jan/13
so is 194cm not out of the question for his peak rob?
Editor Rob
not impossible, some guys might shrink a bit more than an inch, so at times you might see them look taller.
James said on 2/Jan/13
He could look no taller than 6'3.5 in one pic next too the rock...however I think that's just because of his posture.
Rob is there a chance this guy could have been 193-194cm in his 20s? Given that he looks a legit 6'4 now aged 49 indicates that he may been a small fraction over when he was much younger?

Looks 6'3 with you Rob.
Ras said on 9/Dec/12
He looks 6'3 with Rob but he really is 6'4. He looks it with pretty much any wrestler out there including HHH. He's one of a few that's proved Triple H is not above 6'2 and pretty much lays his 6'4 claims down to rest.
Tuga said on 5/Dec/12
He´s at least 6'4, Red posted a pic of a staredown with rob terry and bg is perhaps even over 1 inch taller.
Alex 6ft 0 1/8 said on 4/Dec/12
Doesn't look quite 8 inches. Bottom of Billys chin is 9.5. Robs head looks 2 inches or so above his chin. Thats why I'd still say 6'3 1/2 for this guy
Ali Baba said on 4/Dec/12
More like 7"
dicksock said on 3/Dec/12
Well, he's clearly 8" taller than Rob; so, he is 6'4".

The pic with Rob suggests 6'3.5" is closer to the truth than the full 6'4".
It´s just a pic and they´re not standing as straight as possible, standing straight Billy had at least an inch on Rob Terry and Terry isn´t under 6´3"
---
Yeah I know it's just one picture, that's why I didn't say I think he's 6'3" max or anything, just that he looks a bit under 6'4" here in this one picture. People can look shorter or taller in a picture. Yes, to me I see more 191 - 192 cm in this pic, but this is just one picture and this guy could be a good 6'4".
Editor Rob
in person Gunn and Terry stood near each other several times...I couldn't tell them apart from when Terry stood with 'rounded shoulder'. I don't believe Terry stands at his fullest a lot of time...

6'4.5 possible rob?
Editor Rob
in person I wouldn't say that tall
Mathew said on 19/Nov/12
If his chin is really supposed to be at 5'7" then he looks well under 6'4", because there is no way the top of Rob's head is only an inch higher than his chin. That said my impression upon looking at the photo was he looks 6'3" - 6'4".
James said on 19/Nov/12
Damien sandow I would think is 6'4?
James said on 19/Nov/12
Maybe matt Morgan is 6'7.5? Although in the video billy is raising his head so perhaps 6'8-6'8.5 for Morgan?
getting_taller said on 19/Nov/12
Rob, you seem to have a long head!, is it more than 10 inches long?
Editor Rob
no it's in the 9.5 inch range, well to tip of chin (not including any fat under chin)...if you tilt your eyes down a little then in a photo your head will look a bit longer aswell.

I trust robs judgement. Legit 6'4 for billy

Danimal please give the
trolling a rest, the man is at least 6'4.

6'3 tops if too short for him. He doesn't look under 6'3.5 with Rob I dont think
Editor Rob
I'm sure it would surprise some that his head in that photo isn't much over 9 inches because he's kept his eyelevel a little 'proud':
Here.
anyway, in person at his tallest he does look a lot more of a 6ft 4 than many actors who claim 6ft 4.
James said on 17/Nov/12
Arnie I think was approaching a flat 6'1 when he appeared on wwe.
For some reason 6'4 is hard too picture for billy.

Well . In the pic above He don't look 6-4 at all . 6-3 tops .

Billy Gunn was always in great shape. He was a pretty big guy. What was he around 240lbs? At 6'4 240lbs thats a big guy. He just didn't appear that big next to other huge guys in WWF/WWE back then

he looked near enough 6ft 4, I'd be surprised if there was much between jared or billy although I seen billy a lot more times up close than jared.
and to James from earlier in this thread - he interacted well with fans at this event, but it wasn't that busy, so people got more time with guests.

If he's been listed as 6'3 before, then meeting a middle of the two sounds fair. He could be 6'3 and 1/2 in this pic also.

rob how tall do you think is Road dogg ?
Editor Rob
not sure on road dogg
Lo sgozzatore said on 14/Nov/12
Rob, you rule out 6'3? He seems a guy who wants to look as tall as possible (i imagine he's standing at his tallest) but he doesnt look a full 6'4... He's big and that could add the illusion of being taller! But he looks 6'3, maybe a good one (6'3.25)
Editor Rob
if you go with wwe he's down there as 6ft 3 and 260 lbs, although I think he is nearer 6ft 4 than 3.

6´4 seems right.

Alex 6ft 0 1/8 said on 14/Nov/12
Billys head looks 9.5 inches. Rob's head comes to Billys lower lip which is like 2 inches above his chin so 7.5 inches which puts Billy at 6'3.5-6'3.75
Alex 6ft 0 1/8 said on 14/Nov/12
Good picture. He's usually been billed at 6'5. He looks 6'3 1/2 here with Rob, not quite a full 6'4. Rob you think he could be 6'4 flat?
