maybe he really have lost a little height now. i cant see him shorter than 191 peak but today he can look down to 189. he is not taller than a guy like routh
ibracas said on 7/Oct/16
Rob, don't you think he need an upgrade at 193 peak ? Maybe 192,5 now
Editor Rob
I still wasn't sure on this.
James B said on 7/Oct/16
Rob why not give him a peak and current?
Aaron Zamora said on 6/Oct/16
I believe that he's closer to 6'2 then 6'3 it's time for a downgrade even if it's not much but he was 6'3 peak
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 6/Oct/16
6ft3 absolute lowest peak
Junior31 said on 5/Oct/16
Rob at what point does the downgrade come? Almost every pic posted shows him at a strong 6'2 if that!!
I can buy 6'3 peak but recently looks 6'2.5 and even less.
Bugz said on 5/Oct/16

The Rock and o brian (who is 6 ft 3.5 in fact) so 6 ft 2.5 for Rock
MDV said on 4/Oct/16
Rob do you still think that he is actually at his peak height? He was clearly taller when younger
MS said on 3/Oct/16
If The Rock is 6ft 3in (191 cm) that makes John Cena 6'1", Brock Lesnar 6'3",Triple H 6'2",Stone Cold 6'2". But Cena is listed here as 6'0"! I did not see any 3 inches height difference between Rock and Cena in their face off.
Chris said on 1/Oct/16
He was listed at 6'5 when he played for the University of Miami.
So I think it's pretty fair to say he was probably 6'4 when he was 18-19 and has maybe shrunk to 6'3 in his 40s
RP said on 27/Sep/16
In the morning after hangover scene on Ballers ..in the kitchen, Rock looks only 1.75" to 2" shorter than 6'5" Jarod Odrick & both are barefoot in the scene ...Odrick was 6'4-7/8" barefoot @ NFL combine & 6'4-3/4" barefoot at his Penn State Pro Day pre draft workout. Peak morning Rock: 6'3" ...evening Rock: 6'2.5"...Rock's average & true height: 6'2.75"
S.J.H said on 27/Sep/16
Theres no lie of barkley picture with the rock looking a full 3inches differences. Example scottie pippen given a draftexpress without shoe at 6'7.5 look 2inch taller than barkley whom himself claim 6'5.5 he look 3inches taller than rock that put him 6'2.5-6'2.75 a shout , but too bad barkley is given 6'4.75 here and chris andersen is not as tall as his 6'10 NBA listing , andersen is about 6'8 with 6'7 lebron james and looks it 6'8 with the rock. The rock should be 6'1.5 to 6'2 tops if barkley is weak 6'5 but i rather believe rock is 6'2.5 and is barkley 6'5.5

The Rock at 20-30 years ago was 6'3 190.5 cm. The Rock at these very hours is 6'2 188 cm.

Jon jones is not over 193cm and he looks basically same height next to Barkley in all pics and videos
------------------------
Did you not watch the video i posted yesterday? Barkley has minimum 2 inches side by side on jones, few screencaps
Click Here
If jones is really 193cm and footwear is roughly the same in that clip which it looks like then Barkley is 199cm (which he ain't btw)
@Johan photos are nice but unless we have solid video evidence showing ground/footwear/stance I wouldn't use any photo as solid proof of anything. You can find close up photos with a quick search of Barkley looking extremely close in height to magic Johnson and nobody argues he is not at least 6'7. On the flip side you can find photos of Lewis looking taller than wladimir and as tall as vitali klitschko
I mean there are a number of photos of Lewis and the rock online and Lewis doesn't look as tall next to rock as Barkley...
Johan said on 21/Sep/16
Thing is, there are also pics of Bakley standing next to Lennox Lewis and they are the same height.

That's because Barkley is a legit 6'5.5" guy.

So the rock is only 1.75 inches shorter than Charles Barkley?
Just Google "Charles Barkley The Rock" and you can easily see 3 inches height difference
Canson said on 18/Sep/16
@Johan: I agree with you! Also search for the pic with all of the four and look for one that is "sorta blown up". It's larger view. In that one the Rock is less than 3" shorter than Barkley (that's an up close view). Many people (Danimal said it below himself) believe Barkley to be taller than he is because of his build when in reality he's about the same height as me 6'4.5. My 6'3 friend who met Rock has met Barkley and guessed former 6'2 the latter 6'4 and change. I've seen multiple posts across the Internet of other 6'4 guys who have met Barkley too and said he's their height.
Candyman said on 18/Sep/16
Looks 6'2.25" to 6'2.5" on Ballers unless the 6'3" characters are strong 6'3"'s
Johan said on 17/Sep/16
Canson said on 13/Sep/16
@Johan: my money is on a solid 6'2 for the Rock unless he was wears lifts or falls sub at nighttime
Yeah thats my guess for him currently. He looked a good 6'2" next to Hasselhoff . I can still buy 6'3" for him in the 90's though, he might have lost a cm or 2 from his early career. That or his posture has gotten worse which is also believable.

A pic that keeps coming back again and again. Yes its the one bit of proof the sub 6'2" crowd have.
He comes in at 6'1.75 " next to 6'4.75" Barkley. However its one pic and all the other evidence points to the 6'2" range.
Yeah, but many believe that 6'4.75" Barkley was actually 6'5.5" (myself included).
Junior31 said on 16/Sep/16
Think it's time for a slight down grade Rob. When 7/8 of the pics go towards the 6'2.5 side it seems like there's a reason why! Otherwise what do we have to go by??

No.....he was a strong 6'3 in his youth maybe slightly over standing tall. Today a solid 6'2.
Crane said on 14/Sep/16
I'll say again that he was never anything over 6'3 190.5 cm whether it's now or 20 years ago! Like I said to all of you many times, 6'3 peak, 6'2 - 6'2.5 today.

@canson the rock is barely up to Charles eyebrows I can see looking at the pic is decieving you, so what you should do is a screendump put the picture in Microsoft paint then draw a line from the top of the rocks head to Barkley I GUARANTEE you the line will be at barkleys eyebrows (and that's at best)
Canson said on 11/Sep/16
@123: that's not 4" my friend. Sorry. It's about 2 1/2 between Rock and Barkley. The Rock is not 6'0" tall. A friend of mine met him last year (he's 6'3) and said the Rock is about an inch shorter about (6'2). Adds up because he's met Barkley he said and he's my height roughly (6'4.5).

Jed said on 3/Sep/16
Yeah I don't understand the 6'3 listing on here. He does, on a rare occasion, hold up well against 6'3 guys but but there are literally full body shots of him looking the same height or shorter than 6'1.5-6'2 dudes on Ballers
---------------------
He doesn't look far off his listed height here on ballers. He looks very tall on that show.
In the pilot he is easily an inch taller than Donovan carter who was measured 6'1.5 barefoot at the 2013 nfl combine. He has more than 2-2.5 inches on rob corddry (who is listed here at 5'10.5), didn't look 4 inches shorter than Omar Benson miller (assuming he is 6'5) in a scene where both were wearing socks
Jed said on 9/Sep/16
@184guy The Charles Barkley pics alone prove he's not 6'3. He never looked much taller than Paul Walker despite wearing boots. He looks shorter than every 6'2-6'3 listed athlete on Ballers.
Genuinely I'd put more money on the guy being close to 6'1 than 6'3.
184guy said on 7/Sep/16

Rock is a solid 188/189 barefoot , 192 range in boots
Canson said on 5/Sep/16
@Jed: in his prime maybe he'd be a solid 6'3 I could see that. I'd tread more to 190cm prime though but I'll be honest I also thought he was 6'4 or so because of how he was listed at the U when he played. But hearing the infamous lift stories about he and
Vin Diesel now makes sense
Jed said on 3/Sep/16

He does, on a rare occasion, hold up well against 6'3 guys but but there are literally full body shots of him looking the same height or shorter than 6'1.5-6'2 dudes on Ballers. I've also never seen him look as tall as 6'3 listed athletes (either on the show or elsewhere). As I said previously, a couple of episodes ago on ballers he's walking next to Troy Garity (6'1.5 on here), with bigger shoes and possibly on a slope, and yet he still looks pretty much the same as him (he could even be shorter). I wouldn't go as low as 6'1. But I would be far more surprised if he was 191 than 187.
Junior31 said on 2/Sep/16
Today he's a cm over 6'2 at best. Time for a down grade.

Editor Rob
yes it is probably a realistic chance.
Canson said on 2/Sep/16
@Jed: he's exactly precisely that. My 6'3 friend had him by an inch in person. And he's being honest saying an inch because the pics I saw looked more like 2-3 but were bad angles

Rob, watch ballers. He's surrounded by 6'1 - 6'3 guys showing he's 6'2 - at most. Full wide angle shots, the works.

Ajax said on 31/Aug/16
On HBO's Ballers, Terrell Suggs is clearly a bit taller than the Rock. If Suggs is every bit of the 6'3 he is listed at, that to me would put the Rock around 6'2.25-2.5.
Canson said on 29/Aug/16
I agree with you, Rampage on Gunn. He may have been 6'4 peak. He looked it. I'd say Rock was 190-191 peak and 188-188.5 today (my friend met him had by an inch).
heightjudger said on 29/Aug/16
i think dude is 6.25 judging with many ppl at 6.2 and 6.1..i think 6.3 was his peak..today 6.25
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/Aug/16
No, I think Gunn was at least solid 193cm peak but possibly 194cm. The Rock was 191-192cm peak and 190cm flat today (maybe 189.5cm at worst)
Canson said on 28/Aug/16
@Danimal: that's exactly how my friend who met him described him as 6'2 at most. I honestly believed him to be 6'3+ in his prime only because he was listed 6'4 or 6'5 in college but now I can see a peak (afternoon/evening) 6'2.5-.75
miko said on 27/Aug/16

MutantWolf said on 27/Aug/16
Rock is 6'2.5 today guys, 6'3 flat in his wrestling days, the wrestling boots brought him close to 6'4 if not 6'4 exact.. Wwe boosted his height 2 inches that's why they always said he was 6'5 they do that to almost all of the wrestlers... They had triple h at 6'4 but in reality he is 6'2 another example is big show they have him at 7'0 & at times I remember they claimed he was 7'2 but in reality he is around 6'10 - 6'11 still pretty close to 7'0 though but just saying that wwe boost up wrestlers height..

Alex 6'0 said on 11/Aug/16
I still have Rock at 6'2.5 peak and today 6'2. Thats if he's even lost any height by his age yet. If so it would only be a fraction
I don't know Alex, serious lifting in the gym since his college days and having been in the ring for a few years could have brought him down to 6'1 3/4" today. I had him between 6'2 1/4" and 6'2 1/2" for his peak.
Danimal said on 25/Aug/16

I'd say peak, he was a weak 6'4" and today is 6'3" flat
Peak he was under 6'3" and today looks to be max flat 6'2".
Lorne??? said on 23/Aug/16
Come on, Rampage, you telling me Billy Gunn Was freakin 6ft5? I'm not tryin to downgrade him, even if I think 189.5-190cm range is quite likely, but my point is, 190.5 is reasonable enough.
But not anything over that, not after being up several hours, certainly.
Jed said on 22/Aug/16
Rob, Troy Garity - listed on here a 6'1.5 is clearly within half an inch of the Rock give or take, and if anything he looks taller.
In the latest episode of Ballers, around 5 mins in, there's a zoomed out, head on shot of them walking towards the camera next to each other either. The Rock has a footwear advantage, and it actually looks like he's on a slight slope above Troy; even then they look very similar. There's another shot of them side by side (can't see the ground) in which Troy looks taller.
One thing can be said with 100% certainty however, there's not a chance the Rock is more than 0.5" taller than him.

Lorne??? said on 18/Aug/16
If anyone can look at him with 193cm Billy Gunn, whom Rob has met(though in fairness, more like 194cm peak, ~20 years ago, is probable) but still, if you compare them both at "peak" still in the 90's... A very solid 190 is still a good bet for Rock, 190.5 absolute low is even possible... But 191+? Absolute garbage.
(IMHO, but check him with Billy Gunn for yourself).
Not to mention Conan, in 2002 or 2003, a good 2 inches, I mean I remember watching it over a decade ago, and was shocked. In the same interview, he made some claim of already being '6'2 or 3' at age 14, an 6ft4 by 15'. I'm sure the interview is on the net. Anyway, my 2 cents. Also, a cm of loss, plus developing poor posture explains him often looking shorter now.

possible still within a small fraction of each other, likely 189-90 zone.

Those who are saying he was never over 6'2" AT HIS PEAK, how do you justify the image of him where he clearly looks down on 6'2" Triple H even when Dwayne isn't in perfect posture? (even if you argue 6'1.5" for Triple H, this still puts Dwayne at 6'3" accounting for posture)

He did look that range standing next to Michael Strahan who's about 6'4.5" fair listing
The Man said on 5/Aug/16
Rock is a solid 6'3", Rob is spot on with the listing. He never lost any height, it's just that his posture became bad after he stopped wrestling, hence why he appears to be 6'2" a lot of times. Plus, no sports organization (other than pro wrestling) is stupid enough to list their players 3 inches taller than they actually are (Rock was a former Canadian footballer.) I've seen a small handful of football players that got their height exaggerated 2 inches taller, but never 3. In conclusion, he's not 6'2".
Candyman said on 5/Aug/16
Good listing.

6'3 peak like Rampage said is fathomable given the life he led and the way he was listed in football. I honestly before looking at a real pic would've assumed he was 192 based on a 6'5 listing and his lifts

Rampage may be right. The Rock looked only 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch shorter than a peak 6ft4 Billy Gunn in one WWF segment. And Rock wasn't known for wearing particularly thick footwear either.

Not under 6ft3 peak…

@Crane: we're similar (only about .75cm diff). I measure between 194-194.3 (between 6'4 3/8-1/2 range) after 5 hours and usually don't drop below 194 flat for the day.

@Jake: I doubt he ever was 6'5. you think he's only 3/4" shorter than your estimate for Lebron (you estimated Lebron to be 6'5.75" at his lowest)? Barkley is a good 2-3" shorter than Lebron and Rock is about 2.5" shorter than Barkley.
Canson said on 24/Jul/16
@Shane: I agree and I think also that the Rock being listed at his claim 6'5" was high from the get go and he's never really been that tall. I can see him prob around 191 or so prime out of bed and 190 at his low but now more like a solid 188-189. My 6'3 friend who met him guessed him an inch shorter so chances are the Rock is still a solid 6-2 5 hrs on his feet maybe down from 6'2.5"

Suggs measured barefoot @ 6'3-3/8"
Suh looked 1" taller in most scenes & Suggs looked about 1/2" to 3/4" taller in most scenes. Double proof that current Barefoot Rock is 6'2-3/4" ...assuming nothing fishy was going on with anyone's footwear??
Suh: 6'4"
Suggs: 6'3.5"
Rock: 6'2.75"

Canson said on 20/Jul/16
@Danimal: Hes def not that tall I agree but in Rampage's defense the Rock has led people to believe he's that tall. My 6'3 friend (at his lowest) actually met Rock in person last year and says he has him by roughly an inch. He estimated him to be at most 6'2 maybe But prime maybe he was 6'2.5. He has also met Barkley in person and estimates him as roughly 1.5" taller than he is and said he's my height roughly (of course he could have a small fraction) In the pic with Wahlberg and Shaq Rock looks between 2-3" shorter than Barkley when you blow it up definitely closer to 3 so the measurements he gave just about add up (possible Barkley is more 6'4 5/8) and Rock barely scraping 6'2 or 6'1 7/8.

Actually 193/194cm out of bed in his 20's is possible if he was indeed 191/192cm range
Seriously, why after all these many years do you still want everyone to be taller than they really are? He has never even measured at a full 190/191 even in his 20's, let alone 193/194.
Agree. His peak was 6'2.5ish seems like other then you have Justin bieber at 5'5 and change lol, we see the same thing for most of these guys stature.
I always felt like the rock and Alberto Del Rio are the same height and oddly enough both have been billed at 6'5. Similar build too.
Johan said on 20/Jul/16
6ft 3 peak. Was about the same as Hogan who still looks close to 6ft 3 today.
Looked it next to Mamun who is 5ft 8.
Was taller than Mick Foley. Confirmed at 6ft 2,
Taller than D lo Brown also confirmed at 6ft 2.
Today he seems to go between 6'2.5" and 6'2.75" So max 2cm loss.
Holds up when you compare him to Brandon Routh who is 6'2.5" confirmed.
Doesn't look more than 2 inches on Cena either who we know is in the 6ft range.
The biggest piece of evidence was the pic with Hasselhoff. We know that the Hoff still looks close to 6ft 4 but he was barefoot and still taller than Dwayne who had a thin shoe. 6ft 3 doesn't seem likely.
heightchecker34 said on 19/Jul/16
I am sick of all these downgrades, The Rock ALWAYS looked like a 6'3 guy. He was always taller than Triple H (188 cm), Stone Cold Steve Austin (186-187), and (Mick Foley-check their segment, Rock was also wearing flats). Currently he may have dropped to the 6'2.5 mark, however during his wrestling days he was most def a 6'3er.
Optimus1827 said on 19/Jul/16
I believe rock was 6'4 back in his highschool and football days, but now he looks to have lost a few inches due to the wear and tear on his body when he used to wrestle and probably all that weight lifting he does now I mean look at what happened to hulk hogan if you look at hogan in his younger days he was tall you can tell he looked to be around 6'6- 6'7 now he looks way shorter maybe 6'2 I know hogan said that he had a few surgeries on his spine and that caused his lost in height but still... Anyway Nowadays rock is 6'2
Jed said on 18/Jul/16
Terrell Suggs had at least an inch on him on ballers. DJ wearing dress shoes. He very rarely, if ever, looks 6'3, and he often looks shorter than anyone over 6'2. I wouldn't be surprised if he was 189cm morning, or even 188.

Ive seen plenty of college football players fudged by 3 inches, and some by as much as 4. Its even more in high school. Way worse than basketball.basketball.
Face it, Rock was 6'2 peak.
Sam said on 14/Jul/16
The Rock was listed at 6'5 at Miami. In college when they fudge your height they will add an inch and round up(basically your height in full football gear). So the rock had to have been at least a strong 6'3.

Rob, how much height do you think he loses throughout the day? I would estimate that he loses at least 3 CM, possibly even a bit more.
Editor Rob
his discs might not be in as good shape, so his morning height in mid 40's may be less than his 20's, when his discs didn't have the years of wrestling and action films to cope with.

Johan said on 6/Jul/16
At the 0.01 second mark if you pause it you will see that is more than 3 inches. Vin is eyelevel with his chin almost. A solid 3.5 inches so almost coming out at Rob's listings.
Except a 6'3" Rock gives Vin 5'11.5" instead of the weak 6 foot.
Interesting as I have always thought Vin is 181 cm ( 5ft 11.25) so Dwayne being under 6ft 3 today also adds up. He does look 1.90 m there though and not as short as 1.89m in other pics unless Vin is really 1.80 m - 5ft 11.
jake said on 5/Jul/16
the rock WAS 6'4 1/2 194cm but has now lost height and is now 193cm the reason why he still claims 6'5 is he isn't aware he lost height and is closer to 6'4

I'd say when he was in WWE he looked small compared to some Monstrous sized men in the ring. Heck even billy gunn at 6'4 legit looked unremarkable.

Nice pics of that show Anon183cm
Liam as usual isn't standing great but we can see there that Dwayne is easily an inch shorter than Goldblum who is under 6'4" today.
People need to start looking at the top of their heads and not going by eyelevel. Guys like Dwayne raise it to give the illusion they are taller. I wouldn't say he is under 189 cm tjough as Goldblum is still listed 192cm. He is solid 6'2.5".
Frank R said on 24/Jun/16
The Rock seems rather "young" to have already lost an inch in height from his peak of 6'4", but lifting heavy weights and all of the injuries in pro wrestling can take their toll on a wrestlers and other stuntmen who haven't even reached 50.
Johan said on 24/Jun/16
1 min 21 seconds on that clip they are both straight. Thats not 3 inches and you could even argue that Joshua isn't the full 6'6". He certainly looks a weak one next to Rob.
3.5 in minimum and we never get to see Dwayne's footwear. Anthony has a 1 inch sneaker its a very common brand.
Aj said on 23/Jun/16

Here are two photos that show how the Rock appears around an inch shorter than Liam Hemsworth, and not merely 0.25" as this site currently suggests. I think he should be downgraded to 6'2.5" minimum although I am in favour of something like 6'2.25" like Justin Hartley. Also those photos with David Haye are interesting, he looks shorter in both of them.

Shane said on 12/Jun/16
There are some very silly posts about losing height due to lifting that are untrue. Steroid use can influence height loss but lifting alone makes little if any difference re: height. In fact it can help maintain height and posture and keep bones strong.
Editor Rob
I wouldn't call it silly, as posted elsewhere on here, there is some evidence that long-term heavy lifting could effect height:
"When comparing lumbar magnetic resonance images of 24 runners, 26 soccer players, 19 weight lifters, and 25 shooters, disc degeneration and bulging were most common among weight lifters; soccer players had similar changes in the L4-S1 discs...Maximal weight lifting was associated with greater degeneration throughout the entire lumbar spine, and soccer with degeneration in the lower lumbar region. No signs of accelerated disc degeneration were found in competitive runners"
Shane said on 12/Jun/16
Rock is only in his early 40s, and most people with good posture, diet have lost little height by then and then some essentially none. If he has already lost an inch or more, that would be extremely rare for a healthy, fit adult. I assume people are pointing to steroid use and/or the toll of wrestling for such an extreme height loss at an early age, no? Many other celebs on site are not being downgraded at same or even older age so...
Anon183cm said on 11/Jun/16
I don't have a link to a picture unfortunately, but Graham Norton recently had The Rock, Liam Hemsworth and Jeff Goldblum on his show and they were all stood up at one point. To me, The Rock looked at least 1" shorter than either Liam or Jeff, and Liam looked slightly taller, maybe half an inch, than Goldblum. I think The Rock is not more than 6'2". He's tall, but not as tall as the other two.
grizz said on 11/Jun/16
On Graham Norton show, standing next to Liam Hemsworth & Jeff Goldblum, he was clearly the shortest guy.

Its been well established that Dwayne was 188cm peak and 186cm today.
BorkLaser said on 10/Jun/16
Dwayne didn't lose 1 inch of height. He was very safe/careful in the ring, so he didn't lose as much as Hogan for sure! Hogan did leg drops which messed up his back and made him undergo surgeries. I think the Rock was 192 cm at his peak and at worse 190 cm today, if that.

I'd say the rock is a solid 191/192cm for me, not near the 6'5 that he's billed at. You can see when he's next to a 6' vin diesel he isn't 5 inches bigger.

There's no single evidence that he was 6'3.25 - 6'4 at his peak or now, you guys are good at made up something. The most accurate and reasonable range for him is 6'3 at his peak and 6'2 - 6'2.5 nowadays.

He also looked 6'3" next to 5'8" Mamun from user heights.
Nowadays Looks very similar to certified 6'2.5" Brandon routh. Has 2 inches on 6'0.5 Cena A good inch shorter than certified 6'4" Hasselhoff with thin shoes ( 0.5-0.6 in approx)
He can look sometimes a flat 6'2" but he does this weird stretch thing with his neck. I will show a pic of him with Irina at the Hercules premier, I thought he was around 6'2" from that but his posture is awful.

and then when straight -

Now Irina is 5'9" with a 3 inch heel making her 6'0" and in the first pic he looks 3in taller putting him at 6'3" with shoes. So like I thought 6 ft 2.
However that group pic shows that it is more than 3 in he is standing much better and looks minimum 6'2.5" there. He can sometimes still pull off looking closer to Rob's listing.

I agree with your observation.Clearly taller than certified 6"2 DLo per Rob. I do think peak he was slightly over 6'3 peak but has lost an inch in height over 20 years through wrestling, OTT weight training and his physique does not look as 'natural' as it should.

He's at least not shorter than this listing. I could definitely buy anywhere from 191-192 CM for his peak, with an off chance of 193 CM.

Rob shouldnt you put peak at 191 and maybe 189-190 now if you dont Think he is 191 anymore

Hogan still looked around 6'4 standing straight in 2002.
RP said on 29/May/16
Ron Simmons in his prime was a legit 6'1" !!! Was even listed 6'1" @ FSU! Was the same height as 6'1" Derek Brooks at a FSU Ring Of Honor type halftime celebration back in1999 or 2000.

The Rock was 6'3 in 1996, The Rock is 6'2 in 2016. It's simple as that.

To the people who are saying that the Rock was shorter than Hulk Hogan, scroll down and look at the photo that was posted. The Rock is at least the same height as Hulk Hogan (if not taller). He was easily 6'3 1/4"-6'3 1/2" in his peak.

Found this one, D'lo is raising his eye level. Dwayne is behind and still looks an inch taller. So yeah not under 6'3" peak.
I think Ron was billed at 6'2" it seems he wasn't that far off with his actual height.
Johan said on 26/May/16
Ron was easily taller than Cena imo. He looked very similar to D'lo Brown in the Nation of Dom days and Rob met the guy and gave him 6'2" so Ron must have been around the same. I see more 1.5 inches between them so it does confirm a 6'3" Dwayne when younger. Plenty of vids on the tube where you can compare and yes he had sandals so no huge footwear there.
Then again D'Lo seems to slouch and so could appear a 6'1" guy so maybe Ron really is 6'1" range but anyway Dwayne had minimum 1.5 in on him so anything less than 6'2.5" for his peak is nonsense. Nowadays yes I think he is but guys saying 6'1" need to stop, its madness.
BorkLaser said on 26/May/16
Aswin, do you mean Ron Simmons? Because if that's the case then I met him myself and can confirm he's 6'0.5"-6'1"

Under 6'3 barefoot for sure. Charles barkley and alonzo mourning prove it clearly rock is under 190cm

@Johan:
I really couldn't help smiling at the pics you posted. You are spot on, buddy. Dwayne's height is going to be an ever-puzzling mystery. And those pics with Cena seem to suggest he is struggling to even reach 6 foot 1.5 :)
I am quite surprise you also feel that he was 6 foot 3- 3.25 inches in his peak. I guess the height is the most feasible for Dwayne as he was standing 2 inches taller than a 6 foot 0.5-1.25 wrestler Farooq.
Here is the youtube link:

Dwayne is wearing sandals (This is the closest proof we can get next to a barefoot shot).
Rob - I checked the site for the height of Ron Williams, I am not able to find his profile on the site. If you can find his site, we can close this debate as Dwayne seems to be comfortably 2 inches taller. If Ron Williams was 6 foot 1 as he claim, Dwayne was 6 foot 3 easily in his peak. If Ron was 6 0.25-0.75, then no way was Dwayne ever 6 foot 3 in his life.
Can you do us a favor and let the folks know?
@Johan: Please let us know what you think? I personally felt Ron was a tad taller than 6 foot 0.75 John Cena, if my observation is right, then Dwayne's peak height is comfortably proven to be 6 foot 3.

Lol I can't believe all the 6'4 and 6'5 I see here. I agree with Bobby3342. He was at most a peak 6'2.5. and He didn't lose much height at all at least not what you all think. He's between 6'1.5-6'2 now (weak 6'2 is how he was described) from a reliable honest source who has met and stood right next to him. So maybe he's lost 3/4-1" over his lifetime
He looks 6'1.5-6'2 with 6'2 measured Shawne Merriman.
Click Here I think hes really a flat 6'1 though.
Celebheights 6'1.5 said on 25/May/16
I know that this is uncommon, but John Cena is one of the few celebrities who rounds their height down instead of up (there's no way that he's just 6'0"). I bet that he would measure anywhere from 6'0 1/2"-6'1" for his absolute low (yes, 6'1" is possible). I don't know why he downplays his height so much. Therefore, the Rock is at least 190-191 CM today as that's what he appears by him.
Johan said on 25/May/16
No footwear shown but he really is a puzzle sometimes. Look at these two pics:

@Johan:
I am not sure why you posted the links, but I assume it was a response to my statement indicating your usage of John Cena's height for a 6 foot 2 Rock today.
As I said earlier, I am not disagreeing with the fact that his height would have reduced to a 6 foot 2 or infact may be even a fraction lesser. So, let's just agree for now.
And FYI, it is not impossible for Cena to wear lifts for some ego boost. But eitherways, Dwayne has shrunk considerably. And i have no doubt about it.
Pics to show some evidence of his height loss yes. We can agree on that:)
I don't think he is as low as 6'2" though. My minimum for him is 6'2.25" but more likely he is 6'2.5". He does have 2 in on Cena and is still taller than Roman who i think is 6'1.5"-6'2".
6'3" maybe even 6'3.25" for his peak Im not too sure about that.
In reference to Cena he seems a modest guy. He claims to be "6 foot and 6"1" with cool shoes". He looks a good 6 foot most of the times so an honest guy.

@Danimal:
"Shorter than a shrunken 6'3" Hulk Hogan in 2002. He was never 6'3" (even at his peak). 6'2" and change. How much change? Not sure."
Really Danimal, how would you know? Have you measured him? or known any person who has measured him. From what I know, neither Rob nor I nor does anyone have any solid proof that he has 6 foot 3 or less/more during his peak. Infact, we cannot even say what his peak period his.
Please remember Wrestlers age very badly when compared to other people. A wrestler goes through 280+ days of work toiling day in and day out. They tend to burn out by they reach the age of 30. Therefore, it is also well concluded that their heights get impacted drastically as well. So there is a minor possibility that Dwayne was even a fraction over 6 foot 3.5 when he started wrestling (Not a strong possibility, but still a possibility nonetheless)
Don't believe me, google for wrestler deaths, height losses, and steroid abuse and you'll get all the proof you want.
My only request is "please don't pass statements such as "Dwayne was never under 6foot 3 / over 6 foot 4", we can all take a guess, have our own opinions, but we cannot simply state them as facts. Dwayne's height is still a mystery to all of us as he has always looked a strong 6 foot 3 during the 90s and a shade under 6 foot 2.5 in recent photos.
But having said that, it is impossible to conclude his real height. He may be even 6 0.5 or 6 foot 2.75 or 6 foot 3. Unless somebody measures him, there is no way we can confidently state his actual "peak" height.

Its been established that Rock was 6'2 peak.
6'3 Vernon has 2 inches on him. 6'3 Vernon has always looked an inch taller than 6'2 measured Shawne Merriman, who looked slightly taller than Rock.

Next to Barckley 187cm.
berta said on 24/May/16
he looks to be pretty mutdh excactly 190 now. But if you look back at doom and other old Movies i Think he could look 191-92 range. Rob i Think that the rock was 60 procent chance he was 191 when he was 20 and 40 procent chance he was 192.What do you Think? i remember he was listed 192 a long time ago.
Editor Rob
the 191 range is something I think early 90's he could pull off. 10 years of wrestling, and 20+ years of lifting big weights may have caught up with his spine and joints a bit.
Danimal (176-178cm) said on 23/May/16
Shorter than a shrunken 6'3" Hulk Hogan in 2002. He was never 6'3" (even at his peak). 6'2" and change. How much change? Not sure.

There is no contradiction. You are just assuming that I was referring to pics in ring or backstage. Some of the best pics on this page have been when they both were in street clothes.
Dwayne had 2 inches on John and thats what started my belief that he was now sub 6'3".
That pic you posted doesn't look good to me at all, Dwayne has massive camera advantage for one. There are other pics of them running along the beach and the difference is still a solid inch. Also Dwayne still has shoes on.
Look for pics from the red carpet of Hercules. He is standing next to 5'9" Irina Shayk who has 3 in heels on and to me 6'2.5" is the max he could be.
Aswin Kini MK said on 23/May/16
@Dragon:
In the pic that you shared , we are not able to see the footwear or the platform that they are standing on. I feel Dwayne is standing on the floor while Kevin is standing on elevated platform.
Aswin Kini MK said on 22/May/16
@Johan: I agree with you. He stands at 6, 2.5" today due to heavy workouts and obviously his age is catching up with him.
However, I find some of your points very contradictory.
In you last comment, you said
"Like I said in another post you can't go off wrestling as many use lifts in the ring and out. Backstage they even use boards and boxes to alter height when cutting a promo so its pointless."
And yet, you use John Cena, a WWE wrestler, as an example to point that Dwayne is a sub-6, 2.5 inch guy????
"John Cena is actually one of the best examples for a sub 6'3" Dwayne. He only looks 2 in taller bringing him to 6'2.5" (189cm)
"
With regards to the David Hasselhoff comparison, I have already provided a picture where the cast including David and Dwayne standing in a straight angle. If you observe the picture carefully, you will notice that Dwayne is not much shorter than David (Granted David is slouching).
Eitherways, I perfectly agree with you that Dwayne might be 6 foot 2.5 inches today. He is quite a big guy and lifting weights day in and day out definitely would have reduced his height by an inch minimum. I wouldn't be surprised if he looks a sub-par 6 foot 2 in some years.
@Matthew Robinson: If you are indicating that Dwayne's current height is only 2 inches greater than Cena, I would agree. Hopefully, you are not understating his peak height,

The Rock is at least 1/2" of an inch taller than Tim Tebow.
