I would put Batista at a strong 6'4" because JBL is 6'6" and the Undertaker is about 6'8". When you see Batista and the Undertaker standing next to each other there is about 4" difference. and, randy orton is listed at 6'4" and orton and batista are the same height.

Ive met abyss and he's 6'5 at the most, stood right next to him and checked it out. test looks taller, maybe 6'6...I'd give batista 6'3 tops

Test is taller than Batista. Batista is looking under 6'3 lately a lot. 6'2-6'2 1/2 most of the time. Test looks to be about 6'5.
Abyss gets listed at 6'10 but looks no more than 6'5.

Ghost, I thought Benoit was 5'10 and even 5'11 at a point years ago. But really he's 5'9 at most. He's a good inch shorter than 5'10 Kurt Angle and was a bit taller than Eddie Guerrero who is no more than 5'8.

Viper, yea. Now some people say when you're leaner/skinnier you look taller but then some say with a more bigger build, muscular or whatever you tend to look taller. It can work both ways but more often a skinnier guy can look taller.

7'8 Standing Reach barefoot and without tip-toes at 5'10.5" is not bad. its more than my brother and he is 5'11.5"-5'11.75. Wingspan is a bit short though, should be more in the 6'3 region i suspect

At least in TNA Angle is listed at 6'0. 5'10 being billed at 6'0 aint too bad but at 6'2 its just rediculous. Even when I was 15-16 when Angle first came into WWF I never bought the 6'2. I thought 5'11-6'0 for several years.

Viper- I'm not sure what my wingspan is, but considering I can touch a 10' rim from a standing position and grab rim off one foot, I'm sure it's more than my height. Maybe 6'4"-6'5", though I'm not totally sure.

As i said my Standing Reach barefoot (no tip-toes) at 5'11 is just a hair over 7'10 and i don't have long arms. My mate who is 6'3 has incredibly long arms, huge hands, feet, neck; his wingspan is 6'10-6'11 and I would assume his Standing Reach would be well into the mid 8 foot range.

Alex, for some odd reason I've always figured a 32" inseam was short for someone in the 5-11 - 6-0+ range. Don't know why. Just always did.

ER, you're right I'm 5'11" and have a 34 inseam, my dad is 6'3" and has a 30. The milk man has a 34....hmmmmm.....Does Bastista have some monster lifts? His boots looked pretty normal and Taker's looked flat, not like the ministry days. He measured up well to Taker, but Ross will call him 6'5" to 6'6".

It's kind of funny to come here and find out a guy who's been billed at a huge 6'5" for years is actually the exact same height as me, especially when I always knew in the back of my mind there was no way he was that tall. Not unlike Triple H.
And yeah, Derek, that's pretty unusual. Not freakish, but unusual. In fact, my inseam's also 36", and I've gotten comments on my disproportionately long legs. But hey, I think it's better to have long legs/short torso than to have the alternative, for a couple reasons:
1) You probably lose less height throughout the day.
2) You probably won't lose as much height as you age.
3) It makes you appear taller.
4) It could mean you have the potential for more growth in the spine.
That's just a guess.

After seeing the supposed Standing Reaches of NBA guys, your arms would be short in the NBA Derek. Smush Parker is 6-2 1/2 and supposedly has a 8-11 1/2 Standing Reach. No way I buy that.

A 36" inseam at 6-2 is long, if not very long. At 6-2 1/2 I have a 35" inseam and get alot of comments about how long my legs are. People are just built differently I guess. My mother, for example, who is 5-9 1/2, has longer legs than my 6-0 dad. Then again a 6-0 1/2 friend of mine has only a 32" inseam.

leg length is weird though. My dad legs are 2" shorter than mine yet I am 8" taller than him. My brother has 3" longer legs than me but he only about 0.5" taller than me.

hard to tell heavy Show is in your photo Alex, between 400-425lb would be my guess but we would need a full length shot to have a better look.

38 inch inseam? I'm a 36. Show must have extremely short legs for his height. Granted I have very long legs for my height, but wouldn't you think a guy near 7'0" has an inseam well in the 40s?

According to this graphic he was 220kg against Sapp Click Here
he def looks smaller against sapp than against Bonjasky a year later, but 10-20kg on a guy as gigantic as akebono is nothing, in the past he probably gained and lost a few kilos over a single dinner session, lol.
He weighed in at 213kg (212.9kg to be exact) for his last MMA fight in December 2006 against Giant Silva btw

The weigh in had to be rigged to ensure that Akebono was heavier than Big Show. He does look around 450 lbs. in Vegas's pic.
Big Show's legs are relatively short for his height but it's b/c his sweats are looser fitting in that pic. He probably has no less than a 38 inch inseam.
It looks like Big Show has your friend by close to 18 inches. Of course she’s part of what is now an international conspiracy and is actually only 5’2” since we all know Big Show’s true height :)

one interesting thing i didn't notice before in that picture, Wights legs are the same length as my 5'7 friend are, wow. Now i know girls legs are longer than guys but that freaking amazing.

The heaviest Big Show got to was in late 2006 probably which was around 500lbs. In 1999 he said on Howard Stern he weighed 420lbs and was billed at 500lbs, sounds honest to me since he could have just said his billed weight was his real weight. The following year he said he was a legit 430lbs. On Conan in 2003 he said 450lbs then in 2004 500lbs.

Jason go back and check Akebono's K1 matches in late 2004 just before WM21 like this one Click Here there he weighs in at 230kg. Akebono competed in Sumo between 517 and 540lb. Akebono has lost a ton of weight since April 2005, he is about 430lb max today, the overhanging belly that was clearly evident at WM21 has almost disappeared; he had to lose to the weight because in k1 he has the mobility of a tree. Expect to see him get down as far as 350lb in a few years.
Dave; i have serious doubts Wight was 497lb at WM21, Wight was at his biggest a year later in 2006 for sure and i doubt he hit anywhere near 497lb by that point either.

by April 2005 Wight was least 440-450lb, he matched up quite well with the 500lb+ Akebono. Akebono didn't have him by any more than 50lb from my viewpoint.

380-maybe 420 ... man, I couldn't tell to a smaller range with good certainty with someone that big and with gigantism. He really could have been anywhere in there depending. I expected he was gonna be like 470, but I could tell he wasn't that or near at least.
Batista 240? Oh, I didn't think that. That's another guy in the thread at bodybuilding.com I linked to who said he met Batista and estimated 245 I was referring to.

Well he guessed 270lbs for Batista, I could live with that as Batista appears to be his lighest I've seen him in years. I do think he was pushing 300lbs when he was in OVW and when he first came to WWE. The even changed his billed weight from 318lbs to 300lbs then to 290lbs. Shows he has lost weight.

Vegas, you have to keep in mind ''smaller'' doesn't necessarily mean lighter. Batista is twice as big (in terms of musculature) as a regular big dude of whatever his height and weight is because it's all muscle, as he almost has the bodyfat level of an olympic sprinter.

photos like that are deceiving though. I look bigger than Chris Daniels in a photo yet Daniels looked slightly bigger than me in person

Dave, I agree 275lbs, maybe 280lbs today. You gotta see the guy in person to see how big he is really. I do think he was heavier a couple years ago though, closer to 300lbs, 290lbs probably.
245lbs is crap for Batista, I'd never buy into that. Lowest possible would be 270lbs.

He's right about Batista being lighter today. Today I would guess 270-280lb range but some years ago 300lbs would have been likely.

Batista looks under 6'3 there with the 6'3-6'4 guy. 6'2 1/2 would be my guess too. He isn't 300lbs but he's easily heavier than that guy by at least 20lbs heavier and the guy's profile says he weighs 260lbs though. Either way Batista looks 275lbs minimum there.

Thats only a one inch advantage man. They dont make sneakers at 2.25 inches. At most 1.5 inches. Noel is anywhere between 6-5 and 6-6 in shoes.

Sometimes i do not trust NBA Players more than Prowrestlers because most of them can wear shoes that is at least 2.25 inches ( Spencer Haywood was measured at 6'11 3/4 with out shoes and 7'1 with shoes in the 2001 NBA Draft ). Spencer Haywood wear a 2.25 " Air Sox in his NBA Pre Draft Measurement to appear as a 7'1.
My Illustration
Josh Smith and Al Harrington is atleast as tall as 6'7" and alnmost 2 inches taller than 6'5 3/4" Josh Childress who wears big shoes(6'7 1/4" in shoes)

Batista doesn't look no 6'3 there I do agree on. 6'2 1/2 if he was lucky there.
Ashley looks under her 5'5 listing too. More like 5'3 there.

6-4 1/2 Noel looks to have 3 inches on Batista here. Click Here The top of Batista's head doesnt even quite reach the top part of Noel's forehead. If Batista stood a little straighter he would look a full 6-2. But 6-2 1/2 or 6-3 is way out of the question here.

And the evidence with Noel overrides any evidence with Stone Cold, since we really dont know Stone Colds exact barefoot measurement. Stone Cold could be as short as 5-11 1/2 anyway.

"I think Batista is a legit 6'3 one of the reason that he look smaller in the David Noeh picture is because he was not wearing his shoes in the locker room. So David Noel plus his rubber shoes can look at least 6'6 in his sneakers."
Oh give me a break. That picture wasnt in a locker room. Batista had street clothes on, wearing a leather coat no less. Some of you guys must be huge Batista fanboys.

Batista cant be anything under 6'3'' because he matches up well with the Undertaker in staredowns (2.5 inch difference max). I think he's 6'3 barefoot and a shade over 6'5 in his thick soled boots.

Batista has a 6'6 cardboard cutout and Rock has a 6'5 one. I bought a Rock one back in 1999 at the old WWE NY in NYC and it measured at 6'2 1/2 even though they said it was 6'2. That cutout was about his real height.

I saw that too JohnP; though when Flair made his debut on Smackdown in June there was a great full length video of the two of them in the back and batista was approx 3.5"-4" taller.
Few observations watching TNA. At last nights pay-per-view Kurt Angle was listed at 6'1 and Samoa Joe at 6'2 in the tale of the tape on screen. Joe was at least 3" shorter than Bubba Ray Dudley last thursday when the two had a argument face-to-face.
Matt Morgan was given as 7 foot on Impact last thursday.
Andrew Martin (Test) was the same height as Abyss and approx 3" taller than Sting
Pacman jones made his debut last night (i was expecting a giant of a man) and he was tiny both height and weight wise. He stood in the ring with Mike Tenay (Tenay is listed at 5'8 btw) and Tenay was 2" taller. The NFL have Jones at 5'10 and 187lb, well if that is the case Tenay is 6ft and 200lb.

There's no doubt in my mind that there is more than 2" between Kane and Roethlisberger in their pic together. I see 2.5" minimum and 3" is very likely IMO. I still maintain that Ben's cap riding on top of his very large hair are throwing some people's estimations off.
Vegas, how did you contact Jacobs' training partner? It's interesting that he claims to have measured Jacobs at 6'8.2", since that 6'8.5" figure keeps coming up.

Kane was no more than 2" (looked a little less actually) shorter than Big Show in a direct nose-to-nose in ring face off in 1999, nowadays the difference is consistently well over 2". In that 1999 face off, Kane looked taller next to Show than Nash ever did. So no, I don't really see Kane busting out the big ones nowadays.

Well kane is basically 6'9 (roughly 6'8.5" or so) here next to big ben (who I estimate is 6'6 in shoes) just last year Click Here
Kane is also two inches shorter today than back in the mega-lift days when he had a few inches to spare on the undertaker at Badd Blood. IMO circa 1997-2000 or so; Kane was roughly 6'10.5" in his mega lifts

Rey Mysterio's never seemed all that ridiculously short to me for some reason - certainly not below 5'3''. I've seen him in person on three different occasions now. Maybe I can't tell as well due to the big height difference...
I remember Powerslam magazine referencing Kane's height in 2 old issues I have. They called him a 7-footer in a 1999 issue, but there's a quote from one writer in 1998 that says he stands 6'9'' max - and that being in the old mega lifts.

WWE.com doesn't actually bill Nitro/Morrison at any height!!! There are lots of independant listings of 6'2, 6'1 and 6'0 for him though.
OVW are not as bad as they once were (they were terrible five years ago when jim cornette was in charge down there). Currently Colt Cabana is listed at 6'1 (i have a picture with this guy and he looks closer to 6ft), Ryan Wilson is listed at 6'11 (he was 7ft in tna) and Mickey from Spirit Squad is 5'7 (he is about 5'6 in reality having met him)

''Wrestling has all kinds of insane billings, WWE are probably the biggest offenders.
I wouldn't say WWE are the worst offenders in the wrestling world. OVW while owned by the WWE (not run by them though) are far worse; Matt Morgan at 7'1, John Cena at 6'3, Batista at 6'7?!?! Dont forget WWA had Nathan Jones at 7'0 while in the WWE he was 6'10 (his old strongman billing), Paul Wight was 7'4 in WCW yet only 7'0 in the WWE. Dalip Singh was 7'7 in New Japan Click Here and from time to time as high as 7'10. Paul Silva magically gained a number of inches when he left the WWE...
I am surprised by your statement seeing as you met chimel, richards, masters, nitro, and steamboat and thought they were all within 1" of their listed heights and some majors brothers, burke looked taller than they are billed.''
True. I forgot about OV. They would be the worst. I thought Johhny Nitro was billed as 6'1''? I would say he was 5'11''.
Alex, OV were billing Batista (as ''The Levithian'') as 6'7'' in 2000. I think the main thing with billings is getting away with it with kids, teens and the gullable.

batista is really no more than 6'2..i mean,mark henry is listed as 6'1,and when they had their feud going on batista never had anymore than an inch over him.sometimes it seemed mark henry was taller!
and then i saw a past royal rumble match between batista and john cena,and it was as if they were both the same height! ofcourse,batista was a 320 lbs guy back then,so he 'looked' bigger.but height-wise,not much difference.
and now,you see batista and khali.batista looks like a dwarf in front of khali.had he been 6'6 like the WWE says,then the difference wont be so great.I mean,6'6?? thats a 4 inch height addition.
WWE just wants to make their wrestlers look bigger..Kurt angle was listed as 6'2,so anything is possible. The only height they have listed correctly is of Rey Mysterio..He really is 5'6 like they say.
You can make a tall guy seem taller but you can't extend the shorter ones.

The footwear of Kane, Khali and Batista all look pretty comparable. None of them appear to have any internal lifts and none of those soles appear to offer any more height than a typical dress shoe would.
I can't see Kane below 6'7", a 6'5" Kane is next to impossible based on the loads of out of ring evidence we've seen. You have to realize Jason saw 6'8" for the Big Show, I'm dying for this guy to meet Shaq.

Oh, I didn't mean to start any debates about Kane (or Khali lol) - I wouldn't have even mentioned what I thought they were if I wasn't asked - but Kane only seemed 6'5'' to me. I'm not saying he is that, but that's the impression I got for whatever reason; whether he is only that, posture or me under-estimating. So many variables affect estimating height. This chick in the group I hung out with was convinced Rey Mysterio was only 5'0'' yet I thought 5'3''?

Jason; if you had got a full-length photo of you looking just 1" shorter than Kane or basically eye to eye with him that would have been excellent evidence.
Of course there are a couple of issues with a 6'5 kane:
1.He must have been wearing shoes giving him basically a 4" lift with big ben taking into account big bens shoes/runners gave approx a 1" lift. IMO Kanes old platforms didnt give him 4", his current footwear look to be giving him the standard 1.25" that 90% of wrestling boots give.
2.Why would the WWE bill a 6'5 guy at 7ft??? 6'5 is not really that tall, hard to believe that someone that short can get away with being billed at 7ft for 10 years on national television (Thats the same as me being billed at 6'6!!). Alot of WWE fans that go to live events are as tall or taller than 6'5. for example that sign guy fellow claims he is 6'7 tall himself; i got up close to him at the rumble; he is about 6'6 Click Here
3.You only saw 3.5" between Stevie Richards and Kane??? imo there is more than this. My 6'4 friend had 3" basically on Richards (as you can see in the photo) and he was shorter than Kane.
When Kane first walked by me i thought 6'6 but he has a very big forehead which puts off estimations. Even though i don't agree with a 6'5 kane you would have a much easier time convincing me of that over a 6'7 big show!!!
Finlay is billed at 6'2, he was next to Randy Orton on RAW the week before WM23 and it looked silly (after all there is only supposed to be 2" between them, lol)

Really anthing under a legit 5'11 but more likely under 6'0 you shouldn't be getting billed at 6'2. I think 2 inches inflations are the most common. Over that really its tough to get away with.

i have never met most of the guys you mention (chimel, major brothers, burke, masters, nitro, victoria, steamboat). Only saw Tommy Dreamer for a second last year in Chicago, looked in the 5'11-6ft range but he ran past me. Def not the 6'3 billing he got back in the old ECW. Sandman was billed at 6'4 in the old ECW and he walked right past me nearly knocking me over at the rumble, he is 6'1 max and could be shorter.
Any luck seeing the likes of Shannon Moore, vickie guerrero, torrie wilson, jamie noble, funaki, finlay, eugene, joey styles or nunzio,

That's what I did lol ... but there were too many people as this was earlier in the night. I saw him a few times then but he seemed to disappear after that until it was time to leave. I came within a few feet of him one time but he was shuffling along and on higher ground -- he didn't wanna hang around anywhere. He seemed to appear taller in the ring than after the show in street clothes. Also appears slimmer in clothes than he does shirtless in his wrestling gear for some reason. He didn't seem to want to sign any autographs but apparently he said happy birthday to someone when they said it was their birthday.

They also had this head security type guy who was the spitting image of Virgil.

Yeah, this was in street clothes, it was 3 in the morning. I stood next to him for about 3 mins while he signed autographs for the group I was with.

Viper, I agree totally. From a distance guys will look taller or shorter than when you get up close they're different.

So Jason, are you saying Kane looked 6-5 up close? Thats wild. Was he in street clothes?

Perception is an odd thing. Ive seen guys on the steet who look shorter from a distance, than taller up close. Then the other way around you see guys who look a lot taller from a distance than up close as well.

I don't know, it was hard to tell with Khali. He really didn't seem as tall as even I expected, but the guy couldn't even walk properly like I was saying, so can't have had the best posture. And those weird proportions. Someone I was with thought just 6'9''. I did notice he had to really duck to go under these doors at the resort (that weren't small) which suprised me, so I'll visually gauge what height they are when I'm next there.
Both him and Kane appeared taller in the ring than later on in street clothes. Even though I was a long way back, Kane looked enormous in the ring and as though he might have been 6'7'', but he didn't appear to be over 6'5'' when I met him about 3am. *shrugs* You were right about his head and hand size - they weren't that big after all! Tommy Dreamer was the other way around, he seemed shortish from where I was during his match - like 5'10'' tops - then I met him that night and he was like 5'11 1/2''. I estimated 5'10 1/2-3/4'' for Flair.

dunno about a 5'10.5ish ric flair, jason, unless he has lost approx 0.5" since i met him last in March 2004?? of course he could have been wearing bigger footwear that day. He looks nearly 6ft next to Big Jim just last year which is kinda strange.
What was your estimate for kane and khali?? speaking of kane i have been talking to his training partner in tennessee who says he measured and weighed kane just a while back!! his name is Jason too :)
Stevie richards is part of this new batch of photos i found just last week. They were all taken during the WM20 in March 2004.

These other pics from Deal Or No Deal show that if Randy Orton is legit 6'4" which most people seem to think, then Edge isn't far behind:

I saw a lot of wrestlers last night close up after the show I went to (it was at a resort casino). Batista walked by/stood opposite me a number of times and I thought he was closer to 6'2'' than 3'' -- I would give him the 6'2.25''. I saw Chris Masters in bare feet and I think not more than 6'2 1/2'' for him. Shook hands with Kane (but I won't go there LOL) and saw the Great Khali walking around a number of times - he can hardly walk. Had a gait worse than a late 80s Andre... Suprisingly, Stevie Richards was a big dude (appeared at least 6'1'' and very well put together); he walked right past me and I didn't even know who it was until the bloke I was with pointed it out lol. He'd just been to the gym ... at 3 in the morning. Ricky Steamboat was VERY nice, so was Victoria. Most were nice enough. Batista actually seemed ok, but Flair wasn't very nice - I also thought he was only 5'10 1/2''ish - nor was that black dude with the braids. This was the first time I've hung around after the show. I was about to leave when I saw a horde of people hanging around looking like they were waiting to get in some place, asked what everyone was there for and it was to see the wrestlers and get the autographs. So ok, I ended up doing that (minus the autograph bit, didn't have a pen and paper and couldn't be arsed scabbing some) until 4am and didn't go home until 7 lol. Pretty knackered today...

Orton easily looks 6'4 there with Mandel and he looks over an inch taller than Batista.

Vegas, it would not surprise me if Bret Hart was taller than Rhodes. Here's Rhodes at age 46 looking at least one inch shorter than 6'1" Ron Simmons Click Here Rhodes has cowboy boots on too. I'd peg him at around 5'11" during his wrestling days. Rhodes also had cowboy boots on in the video with Orton, who to me looks a legit 6'4". Orton's probably around the height of Dustin Rhodes.

How tall is Rhodes today though?
I have a photo of Dusty Rhodes next to Bret Hart in 1990 and Rhodes looks shorter. I will upload it as soon as I find it (it is very small and needs to be blown up). I also have one of bret hart next to Roddy Piper in 1991 and Hart looks slightly taller than Piper too

When Khali signed with the WWE and was with Deep South Wrestling, he MEASURED IN at 7'0.5" (just under 7'1"). In the same article, it was said that Dalip Singh was going to be the only LEGGIT SEVEN FOOTER in the WWE. He weighed 360lbs too.

i could not believe the height difference between the two on smackdown,khali literally towered over batista by at least 10 inches maybe more. if batista is a legit 6'3" then khali would have to be pretty close to his billed height.

Khali himself claims 7'2 (he said that during a Conan O'Brien episode while promoting the longest yard in 2005). Rob has an article from his bodybuilding days where it says he is 7'1. Apparently a bodybuilding magazine during the 1990s said he was measured at 6'11.5" barefoot (this claim/listing has never been proven however).
he looks at least 7'0 next to batista and john Cena (both of whom i have stood next to).
Not all wrestlers are at least 3" inflated; John Cena, Randy Orton, Big Show, Ron Simmons are four guys I have met in person that I thought looked within 1" of their listed heights. The average is a two inch inflation, but i have met guys whose listed heights are more than 2" inflated

someone know khali height ? he look to me in the 6-11 to 7-0 feet range. i dont think that he is really 7-3 tall because all wrestlers are atleast 3 inch inflated.

not sure what is the point of posting a pic of batista and orton next to the same guy. This mite be useful for guys who never met face-to-face such as Andre and Big show but we have loads of footage of orton and batista next to each other.
here is orton and dusty rhodes from monday night, when orton stands up straight he has about 5" on rhodes Click Here
Hannah i have a segment on video back in 2002 shortly after he made his debut where Orton towers Vince McMahon so I doubt very much he was <6'3 back then, he looks about the same height as today.
