DiBiase didn't look less than 6ft3 in his prime, in fact I'd go for a fraction above that rather than below. Duggan wasn't much shorter so minimum 6ft2 for him up to 6ft2½. They claim 6ft4 and 6ft3 respectively - the wrestlers of the 80's and 90's were a little bit more honest about their heights compared to today.....

Duggan looked very close to Ted Dibiase at peak. I will say:
Dibiase: 6’2 3/4”
Duggan: 6’2 1/4”

He must have looked taller in person. In the photo he could pass for 6'0 more than 6'1 but I guess he had his knees bent. Peak he looked taller.
I agree. He looks 6'0 here but he's not standing fully straight. I think he was/is 6'1 now...6'2 peak.

Appears to me Jim's peak was a strong 6' 3" and that his current height is barely over 6ft.

Jim's looking rather pleased to be pictured with you, Rob! 😁👍
He gets 6ft2 peak height and an inch less today.

Video quality isn't the greatest but here is a 48 year old Duggan looking every bit as tall as a 34 year old Goldberg Click Here Its doubtful that Goldberg had lost any height in his mid 30's, while I'd guess that by late 40's Duggan had probably lost at least a fraction

@62B - I would put him exactly at Rob’s estimate

Sounds about right. He was 6'2" to maybe6'2.5" back in 1988. I was right behind him in line at the airport

I think you've got this on the money, Rob. He was definitely at least 6'2" prime and looks about 6'1" with you. Tallest I would give him is 6'2.5" prime and 6'1.5" now. He did start to wear Kane style boots in WCW and could look 6'3" or more. I do remember him from the start of WM 7, and he looked about 2" shorter than 6'4" Gorilla Monsoon.

Editor RobYou could argue 6ft 2 and change was possible at times...he definitely lost an inch at least by today.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Nov/17
No way under 6ft2 peak and a bit over that is very possible. Looked a tiny bit shorter than Ted DiBiase (minimum 6ft3)

LOL Andre 7'3 and himself 6'3... i dont know which one whos most ridiculous, either way he gave both Andre and himself some 3 extra inches. Never looked taller than perhaps a strong 6ft in his peak, and today seems to be 5'11 1/2
_________________________
Peak 6'2"-6'2.5" is perfect. I was right behind Duggan in line at an airport in Louisiana back in the late 80's. I was a fraction over 6'3" bare foot at the time. I was in tennis shoes and I believe Duggan was wearing hiking boots and we seemed the same height. Put us both barefoot and I probably would have had him by an inch.

Rob do you think big Hacksaw might be 6ft 0.75 today? He probably would look it with better posture, near enough 6ft 1 anyway and is 6ft 1.75 peak possible?

He looks nearer 182-183 range but he doesn't have the best posture.Near 185 is possible but more like 6'0.75 rather than 6'1.

Editor Rob in this shoot he was going forward onto his toes and raising up a bit his heel, although it didn't really change much, I think he is over six foot nearer dibiase 6ft 1, it's funny these 4 guys: Brutus, DiBiase, Road Warrior and Duggan all not much different in person.

I stood behind Duggan at the Alexandria Louisiana airport in 1988. I was 6'3" and felt Duggan and I were the same height. He may have had a footwear advantage, but I don't know that for fact. Peak 6'2 1/2" to 6'3" Is my guess. Today I do not know. I saw DiBiase at the YMCA a year or so later. I felt he edged me out a tad at the time. Both are around 60 Today and most likely have lost more height than I have due to their age and decades of wrestling. I have already lost about 1/2". He must have been keeping kfab when talking about Andre being 7'3", because he also said Andre was a little shorter than Khali. Also, Andre knocked me on my butt when I bumped into him in 1988. My first impression of him when I stood up and he stood up straight was that he was maybe a tick over 7', but later I saw a 7'2" guy and figured Andre was really about 6'11".
