He was listed at 5'10". He's not 5'10". He wore the same boots as Kane did. He is the same height as Glenn.

Even Glenn said Jericho was 5'10".

Glenn said on the Jericho page that Jericho is 5'10", which is what I said, meaning what I said is probably most accurate with them both wearing lifts to look 6'0" and 5'11".

I do think Jericho always looked a bit taller than Benoit, like 1/2 inch. Both looked easily 5'10 with lifts or a bit more. Benoit is probably 5'8 flat while Jericho I think could be 5'8.5.

HellBound, Benoit and Jericho are among the few wrestlers who undoubtedly wore lifts, but 2 inches are too much for highly agile athletes like them, the lifts gave them no more than 1''-1.5''. So the 5'8.5''-5'9'' Benoit looked almost 5'10'' with lifts, and the 5'9-5'9.5'' Jericho (check the pic with Glenn) looked about 5'10.5'' with lifts.

Alex, I know they both wore lifts, but what I'm saying is that Jericho and Benoit both wore two inch lifts, making Jericho 6' when he's only 5'10", and Benoit being 5'11" when he was only 5'9". I think 5'9" is right for Benoit, and 5'10" for Jericho.

Malenko was only 5'7 I think. He looked the same height as Crash Holly who is known to be 5'7 as well.
Alex said on 2/Jul/07
Hellbound, Jericho I know wore lifts. He was always known for them and Benoit probably the same. Look at this site. They list Benoit at 5'8 so unlikely he would be taller.

Jericho was always billed at 6'0", but I think he's 5'10" in real life. Benoit was shorter than him by an inch or so, so I think 5'9" is spot on for that murdering ****.
Alex said on 2/Jul/07
Doink, Benoit could get billed at 5'10, 5'11 is pushing it but 6'0 was absurd. I use to think he was 5'11 in 2000. Him, like Jericho did probably have some lift in their boots giving 2 inches of height if not a bit more. Thats why they looked closer in height to Angle.

Benoit and Jericho were both 5'8", while Eddie Guerrero was 5'7".

I always thought he looked 5'8" max. Maybe because he's so bulgy.
Doink said on 1/Jul/07
Yes, Dave Meltzer has said he's exactly the same height as Benoit, which is 5-8.

WWE started billing him at 6' when he won the title instead of 5-10.
Alex said on 1/Jul/07
I've always seen an inch between Benoit and Angle but Benoit's boots may have been giving 2 inches while Angle's gave the standard 1.5 inches.

i dunno alex. kurt always looked taller with wrestling boots on so he was probably packing as well (the staredowns with cena in wrestling boots and sneakers being an excellent example). i think kurt and benoit would probably be the around the same height barefoot.
Alex said on 30/Jun/07
Benoit did only look an inch shorter than 5'10 Kurt Angle but he may have had a little more in his boots making the height difference closer while really they are about 2 inches apart legit.
JT said on 30/Jun/07
Benoit was slightly shorter than ~ 5'10" Kurt Angle. He had very short legs, which made him appear shorter than he really was.

I think Benoit was 5' 9'', but the problem is that Rob has listed him too late.
Rob, there are so many other wrestlers who are waiting to be listed (Edge, Orton, MVP, Booker, M. Henry, Lashley...) and I hope that you will not wait until they die.

Vegas, MVP looks about 6', but it would be better if he has his own place on this site.

Editor Rob
since I saw one newspaper saying 5ft 11 I had to list him to put mak sure that quote of his was seen...'5ft 9 or 10' = 'I'm really not 5ft 10'.

''he has short and stumpy limbs, but thats because he was out of proportion, he was 5'9. he IS taller than he looks, hes just so out of proportion, he has the torso and head of a 6'1 guy, but the limbs of a 5'5 guy''


His head wasn't big, but his torso was (long). And s-h-o-r-t limbs.

''yes markus he was.

Looked very short to me from about 10 foot away when i saw him in person but in all the photos and videos in the ring he looks 5'10. Im confused; obviously big lifts?? This guy was obsessed with being bigger so he would do anything to achieve that goal imo.

how tall would you guys say MVP is?? he is listed at 6'3 by the WWE''


He appeared 5'9'' to me in person, but he wore lifts that gave him an extra inch of height.

haha, someone put 6'0" as his height on W i k i p e d i a. It's now 5'9" with a celebheights citation.
MD said on 29/Jun/07
I still think he's somewhere in between 5'8" and 5'9".

He looks like a solid 6' possibly 6'1, no more
danius said on 29/Jun/07
Hes 5'8-5'9, very compact figure, cannot be more than 5'9
Alex said on 29/Jun/07
If Benoit is 5'8 then Eddie is 5'7. I think he could be 5'8 but hey its not easy to tell the difference between 5'8 and 5'9 on TV.
TheJerk said on 29/Jun/07
Turned out to be just another one of life's losers. Too bad, he does not have my sympathy at all Bleemo. You guys are very right about his proportions they're out of whack for sure.
Danimal said on 29/Jun/07
He was never over 5'8". Look at his body. He had short and stumpy limbs. I give him 5' 7 3/4".
Alex said on 29/Jun/07
He's anywhere from 5'8 to 5'9. One wrestling site listed him at 5'8 so he may be 5'8 but no shorter though. He was always an inch shorter than 5'10 Kurt Angle but Benoit may have had a little bit extra in his boots though.
I use to think this guy was 5'11 years ago though.

I think he was more 5-8.
MD said on 28/Jun/07
He got billed at 5'11", so he could be 5'8" to 5'9".
Derek said on 28/Jun/07
An article I read had him at 5'10" 220. I personally felt he was 5'8 1/2"-5'9".

I'm sure I read that he was 5'8".5. Can't remember where tho.
