@ Daniel reynolds
Yes Mark was 2 inches taller than Terry, in Suburban Commando as well ( Mark was a bounty hunter) it was the same kind of difference as in street clothes. You can't really go with ring gear as the boot thickness could vary greatly.
I have Hulk at 6'5.5" peak and Mark at 6'7.5" peak.
Today Terry seems to have regained some height as he appears 6'3" while a few years ago he looked more 6'2" range because of his knees and poor posture.
Mark still looked 6'6" range next to a poster here who reliably looked the 6'6" that he claimed. Ali Baba was also correct about Tyler Mane so i am inclined to believe him as they are almost the same height.

If you were ever wondering why terry look so big in that ring in rocky 3. Well just look at his sheer size anyway back then akong with the boots he was wearing and that ring wasn,t small. A descent sized ring which looked small because of a mountain of a guy standing in it. When we look up famous people heights, when it gives you there height it is going by the heights when that person was at the very best in time. Either at that point in time when they are at their best or when they are well over the hill and in retirement. Terry is ft6,2 today, but when ever you do look up his stats it gives you ft6,7/2.01m. That,s going by when his was at his ultimate best. Marilyn monroe was only ft5,5/1.65m i thought she was taller ft5,7. I always believed frank sinatra was a good ft6,0. But i was shocked to of found out he was only ft5,7.5/ft5,8 in his younger years. My point is, some people are taller than we think and some are shorter. I mentioned dwayne johnson. Dwayne in 2000/2001 those years was indeed ft6,5. Nowadays he is ft6,3/ ft6,3.5. It,s sad. I am a big fan if dwayne. But there,s another wrestler that has lost height along with terry, kane, mark calloway .

As for not standing next to Big Show, like this promoter guy, another poster named Sotirios Chatzi claims his dad worked in wrestling in the '90s and that Show was only 6'8". It just goes to show that even ppl who stand next to someone can get it wrong. Chuck Wepner (6'5"), who fought Andre, thought he was only 6'9", probably b/c of things like this... Click Here

If these aging wrestlers ever look taller, it's definitely thanks to lifts.

Hear is a very interesting point on this topic. Something i did manage to find out for myself and you don,t have to believe this. in rocky 3 the film itself the ring announcer said standing nearly ft7,0 an incredible sight. You mentioned nearly ft7,0 being ft6,11 which wasn,t announced. But it could of meant ft6,9/ ft6,10. Well terry prowling around in his corner actually stood ft6,8.5 wearing the 1.25 inches boots you pointed out. So being ft6,8.5 in that ring take away the boots he was wearing gives you his exact height which is what i knew ft6,7. Stallone was no less than ft5,10 bare foot. stallone was ft5,11 in that ring wearing his boots. that is something i know for sure. Now if you take terrys boots off you have to take stallone boots off also. There wasn,t a foot difference in height. I could see that. If you look up terry shaking hands with big bill anderson who was ft6,4 in a photo in the 1980,s there looked to be a good 3/4 inch difference in height in that pic in terrys favour. Look at his best pics not his worst and see for yourself. It,s all well and good to look at the pics you want to look at but in terrys case if there are not so good pics then there are very good ones also. I do agree with you though and i will admit that terry in the mid 90,s 2000 + years terry was no more than ft6,5 bare foot. That was very noticeable yes. But dwayne johnson has lost height also. If you look at dwayne in 2001 for example he was ft6,5 then and is about ft6,3/ft6,3.5 nowadays. But mark calloway was taller in the early 90,s ft6,9 now ft6,6.5/ft6,7 or there abouts. But if you took mark early 90,s and compare terrys height early 80,s mark would of been 1.5/2 inches taller than terry. I think you would agree with that.

I myself don,t think mark would of been any more than 2 inches taller than terry at the very best. You can correct me if i am wrong. I say for sure terry 6,7 mark 6,9.???
---------------------------------------
I saw Undertaker at the YMCA in the mid 90's. I didn't get a chance to stand right next to him, but I did stand fairly close to Crush who I saw interact with taker. Crush seemed in the 6'5" range and I don't think taker was more than 2" taller. I did not get them impression that Undertaker was as tall as a 6'9" co worker at the time either.

So I guess if Terry says he’s 6’7 then he is. That means that the Rock must also be 6’5. Uhh common sense the Rock was no higher than 6’2.5-6’3 peak and Hogan 6’5-6’6. Wrestlers lie about their heights all the time. If Hulk were 6’7 then he would be listed at that here not 6’6”

Sotiris, I know someone 5’11 1/2 who has stood next to a lot of these guys and believe me Hogan is still around 6’3 1/2. He has photos next to Taker who he believes is still around 6’7 Magic Johnson 6’8 and even Barry Hall who is an x AFL footballer who is around 6’4. He has photos with them all. He is a promoter, so unless you haven’t stood next to them, your measurements are a bit out. He also said Show is still around 6’11. I’ll see if I can get permission to post photos ✌️

I believe mark edged terry both at their very brst in heights. I don,t know if you would agree. Was mark taller than terry both at their very best. Yes or no. I don,t think mark would of been alot taller and if he was then mark couldn,t of been much taller than terry both at their very best. I am interedted to hear this response. Mark or terry prime.????

Terry had lost height in wrestlemania 1991 againsr mark. When i say mark obviously i mean mark calloway the undertaker. Mark was no less than ft6,9. Forget ft6,7. I am talking ultimate prime. Mark was billed as ft6,10. Now if his was ft6,10 true height, in 1991 which he may well of been for all we know. Then that surley proves another point. Does mark look ft6,7 1991. No, he looks more.!!! Just take a very good look at mark in the ring. Mark may well of lost height over the years as terry certainly did for sure. They looked almost the same height. I would give mark 2.5 inches taller than terry then. But as i have mentioned terry did lose height then. If you were looking at terry and mark at there very best you would of been looking at a 1.5_2 inch height advantage to mark. I won,t dismiss mark was taller for sure.

@Daniel Reynolds. All I can tell you for certain is that in 1980 Hogan was not 3" taller than my 6'4" Grandfather when he stopped right in front of us. There was really very little difference between them. Hogan had about an inch on my Grandfather and that is it.

Look at big van vador ft6,5 v terry hulk hogan on youtube late 1980,s around 1989 face to face and you will see the difference in height there. A good 2 inches in terrys favour. Terrys was shorter then than in 1979.!!! Take a look.

I urge you to look at terrys younger days late 20,s in the late 1970,s not the mid 90,s plus and look at his very best pics not his worst and post them instead of his worst pics. For example terry when he was holding his arms aloft in the air with james buster douglas who was ft6,4 and look at the difference in size. James buster douglas was a big man ft6,4 and he made michael tyson look very small indeed. Michael was ft5,11.5 and he was built like an ox. Even michael wasn,t small. You can continue posting terrys worst pics and try to convince me. Forget it. Look at the pic with terry shaking hands with big bill anderson ft6,4. Look at terry with donald trump ft6,3.5 a big man in his younger days and how he towered christopher loyd actually ft6,1 yes in deed. The fact that he lost height to andre by 5 inches makes me feel happy, because andre was no less than ft7,0. Even vince macmahan said andre was at least ft7,0 no less and as for vince macmahon, he was a good ft6,2 when he was speaking with andre the giant and terry hulk hogan with terrys trainer outside the ring on wrestlemania 1980. I go back to you saying dolph lundren was ft6,3. No he was ft6,5 and noticeably shorter than terry when you look at their face off pics. So you did get your heights wrong there. Look at big van vador ft6,5 facing terry in the centre of the ring around 1989 on youtube. There is a noticeable 2 inches in terrys favour and we are not even looking at terry 1979 1 inch shorter. Do yourself a favour and ask terry how tall he was and he will tell you himself ft6,7. I am not interester in bad pics. As for mark calloway he was infact ft6,9 at his very best, not ft6,7 as you pointed out!!

Jusr because someone says they are ft6,7 and they have been measured bare foot ft6,7. Doesn,t mean they are ft6,5 and it can,t possibly mean they are ft6,5 either. Try and make sense and try to get your head around this. Slyvester stallone even mentioned terry was a good ft6,7 himself. Now there is a man that did work along side terry. I am never going to change your mind and you are never going to change my mind either. Do you possibly think i would respond to this like this if i knew i was completely wrong.??? No. Forget other guesses. I did my research a long time ago now. Terry was no less than ft6,7. I am not just saying this because i was a big fan, but because i could see the difference with other well known people along side him also. Try and pick out terrys best pics and you will see my point. I promise you.!!!

Did terry ever tell you he was in fact ft6,5.?? Because if he didn,t then i don,t know why you would assumed he was ft6,5. I have never believed that for a start. I have always believed and knew he was more. Since 1984.!!

His height has always given him ft6,7 / 2.01m. So where does that come from. Look up anyone. Let,s say tom cruise. Tom cruise was only ft5,7 / 1.70m. Elvis presley was ft6,0 / 1.82. Sugar ray robinson ft5,11 / 1.80m. John wayne was ft6,4 / 1.93m. Everyone has stats. True stats when you type in their height it gives it to you simply because their heights are on record. Nobody has a billed height when you look it up.

Sugar ray robinson ft5,11 / 1.80m. John wayne was ft6,4 / 1.93m. Everyone has stats. True stats when you type in their height it gives it to you simply because their heights are on record. Nobody has a billed height when you look it up.

Of course you have got to be so right. Let?s work this out. If you have been measured bare foot. I repeat for the 10th time MEASURED from toe to top of head at ft6,7 then of course you have got to be ft6,5.now why dodn,t i think of that when i was a kid. I always believed terry was ft6,8 for all these years. MEASURED bare foot 6,7+ equals ft6,5 yes. I just wish i had got my head around this a long time ago. That box i saw it in terrys corner in rocky 3 itself when he was prowling around the ring in the film. Did you see it in the film itself. I did. All these years. No there is no proof his was ft6,5. Hogan was ft6,7 and stallone was ft5,10. As for the pic with terry looking down on stallone in the ring, that was his correct height. Don,t fool yourself. There was a big difference in now. If there wasn,t then hogan would of been ft6,2-ft6,3. Which doesn,t make any sense. Put 2 and 2 together. I wonder how many people on this planet would agree with you or me.!!!???

@Daniel reynolds This is what your 6'7" Hogan looked like next to Sid Eudy (who Editor Rob has as 6'6.5" peak height)... Click Here , Click Here , Click Here , Click Here
Guys, Editor Rob has Sly Stallone at 5'9" peak height. I think he was max 5'8" peak. Here's a rare pic of Sly not wearing his elevator shoes and Sugar Ray Leonard (5'9", not 5'10" peak height) from back in 2006... Click Here

@RP: I always saw 1.5-2” between he and Taker. If Hogan were really 6’7” then Taker would be 6’9 almost. A peak Taker was no taller than Rob lists him and perhaps .5” less or 1/4” if talking a low. But 6’7-6’7.5 possible and 6’5.5 for Hulk possible at best imho. Remember We also saw Michael Strahan day on TV a couple weeks ago when Kobe walked on the set that he was measured 6’4.75 barefoot when we know he’s not. Strahan messured 6’4.25 at the combine which is earlier in the day and kobe’s Wife measured him 6’4.75. Kobe can look the full 6’5” but that doesn’t look any different from 6’4.75 especially if a guy is wearing a shoe that adds 1.25” or has an orthotic. Someone throwing out a “precise” number like that means nothing. Hogan likely was 6’7” with shoes or near that mark or mismeasured. Now since Rob lists him 6’6” I’ll leave the door slightly open and say that he could’ve been a near 200 out of bed if we really want to believe that. I can see him having lost 2+ in his life but not 4”. He’s only 6’3” today. I’ll leave a wider door open for 6’5.5 at a low or 197 range since he did look that often

You have picked the worst possible pics. Very well done. All the pics you have chose to pic out yourself. Terrible angles. Your probably not a hulk fan if you are picking out the worst pics. As for the pic with terry standing on the platform the platform looked about 4 inches high which still doesn,t add up his true height. It was a very bad pic and stallone did come up to terrys chest in that photo. Stallone was closer to the camera and the angle was like you were a spectator in the front row. That platform was used for a photo shoot only. There is a pic of stallone coming up to hogans chest when he was standing on the platform and stallone looking straight up. You can find this pic with the photo shoot showing the left side of them instead of the right. Obviously when you saw hogan in the actual film itself they didn,t use the platform. We didn,t see hogan walk from his corner and just stand on the box in rocky 3 itself. It was purely a photo shoot. Stallones height was ft5,10 and they were both wearing big heels. Why not pic out terrys best pics like the pics i have mentioned with christopher loyd and donald trump who was a big man and vince macmahan in the andre years We can all fool ourselves and others if we want to.!!!

I am glad someone does agree with me on this. This debate started when i said dolph luhdren was ft6,5 in 1985 and hulk hogan was ft6,7. I was replyed dolph lundren was ft6,3 in rocky 4 and both lundren and hogan were standing on boxes in face offs in both rocky 3 and rocky 4. I am so glad you replyed saying lundren was ft6,3 back then. Because he was ft6,5 and i always knew that. Which proves my point about the face offs. Hogan was taller than lundren if you look at the face off pics. If they are both standing on a platform the same height or even the same platform then i am completely right. You clearly got your heights wrong with both lundren and hogan. If lundren was ft6,3 then i would agree terry would of been no more that ft6,5.5. I hope this is a very good point taken because you still haven,t proved to me terry was ft6,5.5 1980. Because as i have mention alot he was measured bare foot ft6,7. So with lundren being ft6,5 there we have it.

In rocky 3 when your saw that gootage of terry hulk hogan and stallone. The top yellow ring ropes came up the terrys waist when you saw him prowling around in his corner and those girls in his corner weren,t short by any means.

I have never heard hogan mention his was ft6,5 and i have watched WWF wrestling since 1984. I always know he was around ft6,8. But i will never change my mind now. Not after 35 years 1984. If you did read his comment at the top of this page his mentioned his was ft6,7 bare foot. Lou ferrigno wasft6,5 himself in 1982 and terry was taller by a couple of inches. So how do you prove he was ft6,5 if he never mentioned it and was measured ft6,7 from toe to head. Where does ft6,8 get mentioned on his height. Of course billed height. But some wrestlers have billed heights of true and actual heights. Some are incorrect some are not. Terrys prime height was pretty much on the money
Kevin hash billed height was ft6,10 and kevin nash in his prime was in fact ft6,10. So billed heights can be there true heights also.

I have looked at the links you described. But it stll doesn,t prove i am wrong. You can,t prove higan was ft6,5 1980 because he never said he was. Other people may of said he was, but that still doesn,t prove anything. With them guessing and his mum measuring him from toe bare feet to top of head is surely accurate. The pic with him standing on the box makes stallone come up to terrys chest and looking straight up at him the other pic is as accurate on ground as you can get. Where stallone comes up to hogans neck. The same height ad when they were walking to the centre of the ring. Stallone came up to hogans neck. The pic you are showing is a pic where stallone does come up to hogans chest when hogan was standing on the box. Not the other pic. That was filming. If you look at hogans height in that footage are you really going to tell me he isn,t slightly more than ft6,5.5.???

What Sotiris said is correct. Just because someone says they’re 6’7” doesn’t mean it. Magic also says he’s 6’9” but he’s 6’7” range barefoot which his own coach Pat Riley even said

Sotiris! Ahhh yes! There’s the pic. 5” box, plus, Thunderlips has at least a 1” footwear advantage over Rocky. Bringing the total boosted height to approximately 6” in the staredown.

Hogan wasn,t standing on a box in that pic i,m sorry. Throughout that fight seen terry towered over stallone by the same height. I have looked at that pic for donkeys years and watched the footage many times over and i know full well. As for big heels, stallone was wearing the same footwear as terry. They weren,t big heels. When you look at hogan with christopher loyd walking along the footpath i take it terry most of been walking on a box then. Look at the height difference. When you see him tower above muhammad ali and donald trump i take it he must of been standing on a 6 inch box in those pics also. Look at the height differences. As for this box that was suppossedly 5_6 inches high that would of make terry ft7ft plus in that pic which he wasn,t. He looked ft6,7 so if you take away this box that makes him ft6,2 at very best.??? That can,t be right. No way.!!! I don,t buy it i,m sorry. Ft6,7. No more no less. You can,t change my mind. I have known for years since i was about 9 terry was about ft6,8. But i know full well ft6,7.

@ Canson, correct!
Peak Hogan was somewhere between 6’5.25” to 6’5.5”...with 6’5.75” being possible. Although I think 6’5.75” would be a morning measurement for Hogan. And 6’5.25” evening...IMO.

Nice pic there sotiris i always knew there was something off about that staredown between hogan and stallone because hogan being 6'5" and stallone being 5'9" there's no way there would be that much height difference between them plus now that i look at it you can kinda tell he was standing on a box

@Ronster: Taker was never 6’8” and Hogan was never 6’7”. The absolute most would be what Rob lists them but most will argue that Hogan at his peak was 6’5” range as he actually once admitted to being and what Tiny Lister also said he was along with Jesse Ventura.

Gravas! Great find of Carson & Arness! Carson appears to come up to bottom of both men’s noses. Give or take 1/4”...but, I’m sure 57 year old Johnny was slightly shorter than 30 year old Johnny. I’d guess at least a 1/2” ?? So, it would be realistic to sssume that peak James Arness was 3/4” taller than peak Hulk Hogan? Assuming their cowboy boots are close to equal ?? Johnny’s footwear was likely your standard 1” dress shoes in both photos.

I just never came acroos there box that would of been about 6 inches high. Hogan looked no more than ft6,8 /ft6,7.5 in rocky 3. But you could see his true height when he was in the ring. The point i am trying to get at is, hogan was looking down on stallone in rocky 3 when you say that stallone came up the terrys lips. But terry wasn,t even standing straight up thats why stallone came up to hogans lips
Because he was looking down on stallone. If hogan was looking straight ahead when you stand straight up stallone would of come up to terrys neck not lips. So stallone being ft5,10 my height. I have got mates ft6,5 and i come up to there lips if they stand straight up. If magic johnson was ft6,9 then he may of been if he said so. But if you have been measured and your ft6,7 then you can,t been ft6,5 unless you bend slightly. You can,t say your ft6,5 if you have been measured and your ft6,7. Thats the proof in the pudding. Saying is 1 thing but by measured as proof is another. Can you see my point.!!!

I have watched rocky 3 many many times and looking at hogan walking around the ring i didn,t see any box at all. He was walking around the ring at the same height. He was around 9 inches taller than stallone not 12 and nearly ft7,0 could mean ft6,9. It doesn,t have to mean ft6,11 and ft6,11 wasn,t announced But you could see the height comparison. There looked no more than 9_10 inches difference. Hogan didn,t look ft6,11 no way. I look at other pics. I go back to andre the giant ft7,0.5 true height. He was 5 inches taller than terry, no more. When you look at hogan in a ring in his prime i can definately see he is more than ft6,5. Not by much but he is. He towerred muhammad ali by a good 4 inches and was alot taller than christophen loyd at6,0.5. I look at lennox lewis ft6,5 hulk was taller for sure at his best. Just look at his prime pics to see it for yourself. Donald trump ft6,3.5 in his prime and looking at terry standing next to him and andre the giant terry towered donald trump.

For the record mark calloway was in fact ft6,9 in his prime terry in 1991 was ft6,6 in 1991 when he lost to the undertaker in 1991. But hogan had lost slight height since 1979 1 inch. If anyone knows how many inches a skull is. Let,s take hulk hogans skull from neck to top of head. Lets said at least 9 inches. I have done my very best to back up my claim on hogan and i know i have. I have followed him in WWF since 1980,s and i have seen a huge transformation. If your in doubt why don,t you ask terry hulk hogan how tall he was in his hay day and i will garantee you he will tell you himself and say ft6,7 no more no less.!!

Stallone in his prime was ft5,10 just like myself. I would of come up to terry hulk hogan neck if he was standing straight up instead of looking down on me. So he would of gained those few inches back by standing up right. I met a fella a couple of weeks ago and he told me he was ft6,10 bare foot. I came up to the bottom of his neck. So there is no reason for me to believe that terry hulk hogan wasn,t a good ft6,7 in late 1970,s i have no shred of doubt in my mind. I met a fella that was ft6,8 yesterday. I came up to his neck. If anyone remembers big van vador. He was ft6,5. If you look at him against terry on youtube you will see terry is taller and we aren,t even looking at a peak hulk hogan. Terry looked taller than ft6,5 to me in the early 1980,s. He was approximetly 4.5 inches taller than muhammad ali who did stand at ft6,3 1985. So how do you come up with ft6,5 in his prime. It makes no sense at all. Terry at his best would of been slightly taller than lennox lewis ft6,5.
Stallone in his prime was ft5,10 just like myself. I would of come up to terry hulk hogan neck if he was standing straight up instead of looking down on me. So he would of gained those few inches back by standing up right. I met a fella a couple of weeks ago and he told me he was ft6,10 bare foot. I came up to the bottom of his neck. So there is no reason for me to believe that terry hulk hogan wasn,t a good ft6,7 in late 1970,s i have no shred of doubt in my mind. I met a fella that was ft6,8 yesterday. I came up to his neck. If anyone remembers big van vador. He was ft6,5. If you look at him against terry on youtube you will see terry is taller and we aren,t even looking at a peak hulk hogan.

Hulk hogan did say he was measured in his prime at ft6,7 bare foot not ft6,5 he never said his was ft6,5 at his very best. How is it terrible logic.??? It can only make perfect sense. I,m ft5,10 bare foot, why would anyone contredict me on my own height. Hulk hogan lost around 1 inch in height every 10 years. So now he,s about ft6,2.5. But look at the surgeries he has had over the years. Not to mention all the knocks he has had as a wrestler. If he repeatedly said he was ft6,7 bare foot why would he lie. What to make himself sound superior.!!!

Canson, Taker was over 6’8” when he first came to the WWF not 6’7”. And he had the older and already almost an inch shorter Hogan at the time by less than 2” as any photo of them shows. When Hogan came back in 2002 Taker was under 6’7” after 15 years taking bumps and still had less than 2” on Hogan who was still over 6’5” easily. All this 6’5” garbage is silly. There is a page that has been shared here before with unaltered photos of Hogan with celebs of known height and he always was 6’7” in the 80’s. All the usual posters on multiple pages here so is use altered pictures or the ones with his poor posture, tilted angles favoring the people around him and when you show them proof otherwise all the sudden the people around Hogan are instantly inches shorter as well lol. It’s so transparent, Hogan has spun yarns when talking as Hulk Hogan and that’s when he will say André was 700lbs, or that he was 6’9”, but as himself Terry has consistently said the exact same that his Mom measured him like she measured everyone who came into her house barefoot against a wall with a ruler at over 6’7” in his 20’s.

@RP: the Logic is a bit poor. “Just because Hulk says he’s 6’7 he is” is what I gathered. Rob would be very unlikely to underlist someone. If anything it would be the opposite which is likely the case here as he was not 6’6” at a low. Although 6’6 is more believable than 6’7”

If you’re 6’5” then you’re not 6’7”. Hulk was never 6’7” barefoot. That is terrible logic when you believe someone’s claim with no proof to back it up. Taker was 6’7” and had Hulk by 1.5-2”

Note:
With the box, Stallone came up to the bottom of Hogan’s neck...just slightly above his clavicle. Without the box, Stallone came up to Hogan’s lips.
Someone produced that photo of the box on this site a couple of years ago. Dang, I wish we could find it again!!!

Daniel Reynolds,
There are photos taken by film crew staff during the filming of Rock 3. It shows during the face off, Hogan was standing on a small wooden platform. It looked to be About 4” to 5” tall, maybe as much as 6” tall?...And it’s width was about 12” x 12”. It’s because they were attempting to make Thunderlips look 6’11”.
Remember, he was billed @ “nearly” seven feet tall & 390 lbs!
Hogan was 6’5” & Change...6’5.75” (tops) barefoot & 305 lbs when he filmed Rocky 3. The character Rocky was written as a 5’11” & 202 lbs boxer...Thunderlips character was written to be 6’11” & 390 lbs....they were simply attempting to make Thunderlips look one foot taller than Rocky during the staredown.

@Sean R: if 6’5.5 was his low he would be about 6’6.25 out of bed I agree. But I think his mother mismeasured or did it with shoes. I don’t rule out something similar to what you said. I personally say 6’6 out of bed and 6’5.25 at a low

Hogan at 6’6” is significantly taller than Randy Orton. I just can’t see 80s Hogan looking down at a real 6’3.75”-6’4” Orton. Especially when Hogan was alittle shorter than Orton in the 2000s.
I’ll give 80s Hogan 6’4 2/3” barefoot at the max just so we can compromise.

All of a sudden he was always ft6,7 in the late 1970,s 1980,s he did lose height as time progessed in 1990,s. But if he was measured at ft6,7 barefoot then how the hell could he of been ft6,5. Make head or tail of that. It,s almost like saying 4x4 equals 14 not 16. He was measured at ft6,7 and then get listed as being ft6,5. He repeated himself he was ft6,7 in his prime. Never mind want some wrestlers may of said. Different camera angles make people look different heights. Some people may look at a guy for example and say he,s ft6,3 when he could be ft6,4.5. Hogan wouldn,t of lied about his true height. For what. What do you gain out of it. Andre the giant was ft7,0.5 1980. He was 5 inches taller than terry hulk hogan then.

All of a sudden hulk hogan was always ft6,7 in the late 1970,s-1980,s. He did start losing a bit of height due to heavy knocks and surgeries over the years. But when people say he was ft6,5 then everyone believe it and says it also. Betwwen 1980 and 1990 he had lost about 1 inch. But obviously now he,s anout ft6,2.5. It,s very said because i grow up watching him and andre and all the others. But hogans peak height was when you see him and andre with vince macmahan and hogans trainer having a debate outside the ring in wrestlemania 1980. Vince was ft6,2 back then.

HH at peak was 6’5.5”. With wrestling boots made him 6’7”. Now it’s possible in the AM when he woke up measured 6’6.25” and with what hair he had made him 6’7”, that I can see being possible. Hogan nowadays has difficulty being at 6’3” with all the back knee hip issues. Plus he’s knees are always bent.

Terry hulk hogan said he was measured at ft6,7.5 at his very best barefoot repeatedly. So with that being the case he was ft6,7.5 i found out that terry was infact ft6,7.5 barefoot. I believe that and nothing else. If your ft6,7 your not going to be measured at ft6,5. I,m ft5,11, i,m not going to say i,m ft5,11 if i am ft5,9. For what. Andre the gians real height was ft7,0.5 no more no less i found that out. Muhammad ali was ft6,3 no less in 1980,s. He may well of been ft6,2 in his later years in life. But terry hulk hogan was a good 4 inches taller than muhammad ali. So people may not be able to tell the difference between a guy ft6,7 and ft6,5 in a ring. Andre the giant was 4.5 inches taller than terry hulk hogan in 1980. So there you have their real and nothing but true heights. I rest my case. People can say what they want to. Terry hulk hogan was measured at ft6,7.5. People can continued saying what they want to. I am looking at terry 1980 not 1995.!!

Absolute nonsence. Lundren was ft6,5 and hogan was ft6,7. Stallone didn,t come up to hogan lip he came up to hogan neck. Hogan was lioking down on stallone so there for he was losing about 2-3 inches by doing that and i never saw hogan standing on any box in rocky 3. He walked from his corner to the centre of the ring. He didn,t walk from his corner and then just stood on a box. For what. Absolute balls. There is no footage of that. Watch rocky 3 again and you can see the huge difference in height a good 9-10 inches no less. Stallone was ft5,10.

So just because “Hogan said that he was 6’7” means that he was all of a sudden? And because he said he was measured at that means that he “was measured like everyone else”? That’s terrible logic to assume that they guy was 6’7” especially when guys who wrestled with and knew him came out such as Tiny Lister and Jesse Ventura and said he was 6’5”

Daniel Reynolds,
Peak Clay aka Ali was 6’2-5/8” (74.625”)
Ali in 1985 was down to about 6’2” flat...maybe 6’2-1/4”
Dolph was 6’4”, not 6’5”...possibly even only 6’3-3/4” true & accurate afternoon barefoot measurement. Stallone actually came up to Hogan’s lips when they weren’t using that box or trick camera angles.

@Space: Hogan would likely have edged Orton by no less than 3cm at their peak heights. More than likely it was around 4cm. I doubt Orton is a full 6’4 though

@Space: to add to that I doubt Orton is even a legit 6’4”. I know Vegas said he saw him in person before and saw another legit 6’4” wrestler in his midst and said that Orton looked slightly shorter. Generally Orton looks weak 6’4” 6’3.5-6’3.75 at times. I also agree Hogan was not 6’6” peak. I’ve only thrown that number out because of Rob listed him that way but he’s a bit overlisted peak I’d say 6’5-6’5.5 not 6’6 but today it’s close to the listing at 6’3”. I wouldn’t argue against his current listing
@Space: to add to that I doubt Orton is even a legit 6’4”. I know Vegas said he saw him in person before and saw another legit 6’4” wrestler in his midst and said that Orton looked slightly shorter. Generally Orton looks weak 6’4” 6’3.5-6’3.75 at times. I also agree Hogan was not 6’6” peak.

Next to Andre in his peak, I could see why Rob listed him 6’6” but the question is how tall was Andre? I doubt he was ever 7’0” and to be honest could look 6’10” range before he died. Hogan in the strong 6’5 range peak and 6’3 today still fit

Can't remember if I posted this ever Click Here Most people agree that Rick Rude was in the 6'3" range. Hogan looks to be a solid 6'5" even if Rude was a little under 6'3". To me it doesn't look like Hogan had a boot advantage.

@ Space...checkout the Wrestlemania Media day photo with Hogan, Orton, Cena, HHH & a few others on stage from 2016 I do believe? Hogan & Orton were the exact Same Height !!! And Hogan was 62 years old. Peak Hogan would’ve been possibly 2” to 1.75” taller than Randy Orton. If footwear was equal? 1987 Hulk Hogan 6’5-1/4” vs 2010 Randy Orton 6’3-1/2”

Was shorter than big boss man in wwf years. I hugely doubt he was over 6-5 prime. Used 1.5” lifts in boots to look close to 6-7. Now he’s under 6-3. About 6-2.5 in reality.

I’ll give the great 1980s Hogan the benefit of the doubt and say if he happened to square up with today’s Randy Orton, and he was taller than Orton, it would be a 1/2” at the most. So that would put Hogan at 6’4.5” absolute max.

@ everyone who thought Hogan was 6’6”

@Duhon Dude. Duhon. Dude. Du hast (You have) to understand that the pic of Hogan and Christopher Lloyd is from the movies, which are more fake than wrestling. Hogan could have easily had some Sylvester Stallone lifts hiding in there. The movie "Suburban Commando" came out in 1991. This was Hogan next to 6'3" Fred Ottman in 1990... Click Here
Sgt. Slaughter was billed at 6'4". Here he is w/ Hogan, before they were ravaged by time:

Here's Hogan and Slaughter now... Click Here
Still 6'3" Fred Ottman and Slaughter... Click Here Notice how Ottman is towering over Slaughter and he's only 6'3". Hogan is currently 6'2".
But getting back to Christopher Lloyd. First of all, he was 6'0" (not 6'1"), the same height as Andy Kaufman from the show "Taxi"... Click Here , Click Here Don't let the big hair fool you -- he was 6'0". Incidentally, Kaufman played a guy named Latka Gravas (no relation).

@ Duhon. A few things...peak Christopher Lloyd was 6’0-1/2” barefoot...he only cleared 6’1” in shoes. He may have been a flat 6’0” by 1989-1990 for suburban commando. Also, that sidewalk is slightly slopped for drainage/runofff purposes. I work in civil engineering and geotechnical engineering and we work with concrete a lot. Most sidewalks have a 1” to 1.5” slope for water drainage and run off. Look at both Christopher Lloyd’s and Hogan’s two lead feet while walking. You can see Hogan’s is approximately 1.5” higher. Giving him the illusion of being 1.5” taller than what he actually is with Christopher Lloyd. Hogan does indeed look 6.5” taller than Lloyd in that pic at first glance. However, after you Factor in the sidewalk slope, he’s only 5” taller. So, a 6’0.5” Lloyd gives you a 6’5.5” Hogan...a 6’0” Lloyd (which I believe he was at this age in his life) gives you a 6’5” Hulk Hogan.

Vegas made a good point back in August. Hogan claimed something like a 2.5” height loss so maybe he measured something close to 6’5.5 and 6’3 or the former maybe earlier in the day and 6’3” today. Either way, I think Rob has him listed correctly today at around the 6’3” mark but 6’5 range at his peak. I could buy a hair over 6’3 or possibly even a solid 6’3 or a tiny hair under it. I don’t think he would’ve been a solid 6’6 at a low which would essentially mean 6’7” out of bed but I could see something like 6’6 out of bed and 6’5.25 at a low as the sweet spot as it covers why he looked closer to 6’6” at times and why many such as Jessie V (as RP mentioned) said he was 6’5”.

@ Sotiris,
Underoath in court, at the steroid trials... Hogan said at his largest he was 310 lbs with 22” inch arms. Jesse Ventura also once said that he swore that at his his largest, Hulk Hogan was only 6’5”...300 lbs & his pythons were actually only 21.5” ?? I would say 21.5” is a pretty good guess.

All the people comparing and contrasting Hogan to the Undertaker need to realize that in 1990-1991 Hogan already lost height. Hogan faced Andre the Giant in Shea Stadium in 1979 so to get a peak height before wear and tear set in one has to go back to 1977. Peak height flat foot was no less than 6’6 and may have been 6’7 in 1977.

It really is hard for people that grew up with a larger than life Hulk Hogan, to concede that he was never close to his kayfabe billed height and weight. None of the WWE superstars were! Too many obvious examples show he was never over 6’4”-6’4.5” and certainly not over 280.
Lifts and customs boots and peoples word of mouth can produce strong make believe

@Sotiris: a peak Hogan had to have been a legit 6’5” guy at minimum. He was not below that. In fact, He looked at times closer to 6’6” especially with Andre the Giant. While I don’t think he was quite that tall, I do agree with 62B that he was 6’5” range. His encounter with his Grandfather adds up with how Hogan would look with Tiny Lister. Tiny also called Hulk 6’5”. Absolute best case 6’5 and change. If you see pics of Undertaker with Hulk at their peaks, it was around 1.5-2” difference between them. 62B’s encounter with Taker adds up with what Rob lists him give or take. Possible he lost height and was 6’7.25 maybe or that he was that when 62B met him or that he was 6’7” flat all along. Rob is more likely to have overlisted someone than underlisting them but either way a 6’7 or 6’7.25 Taker puts Hogan 6’5-6’5.5. He couldn’t have only been 6’4 or less peak

@Sotiris. I still think Hogan always came out a little taller than Brody. I could see Hogan at 6'4.5" as an absolute low, but I still think a solid 6'5" would be a better listing. I think Studd wore lifts more often than not and maybe had Hogan by an inch barefoot.

Brody was listed as 6'4" early on when he played football. I previously posted a pic of Hogan next to Stan out of the ring, no cowboy boots (footwear visible), to compare w/ Brody and Hansen... Hogan and Brody's height looked identical. Interestingly, Brody was billed as 6'8", same as Hogan at 6'7"and 6'8". I genuinely believe Hogan was never more than 6'4.5". And I do believe Jesse Ventura when he said Hogan wore lifts. Hogan almost always wore cowboy boots outside of the ring b/c he had to keep that 6'7" (6'8") kayfabe billed height alive.
Maybe Studd was really 6'5.5" peak height, 1" more than Hogan.

Hogan looks to be wearing the same type of boot Studd would often wear in the Rocky scene. In the Sly Studd picture Sly looks to be wearing lifts and Studd looks to have a more normal boot. Hogan was a solid 6'5" guy when I saw him, unless he was wearing lifts. I admit that I used to think Studd could have hit 6'7", but now it seems barefoot he was probably 6'6" at the most.

@Ronster: I’m 37. However, with Hogan, Rob lists him 6’6” so I doubt he was ever more than that. I do see from 62B and RP where Hogan was billed 6’8”. So I was wrong there. As for Taker, the most I could conceivably see is the 6’7.5 where Rob billed him. I see anywhere 6’7-6’7.5 and Hogan could be anywhere 6’5-6’6” peak barefoot. I don’t discount possible 6’6” absolute peak but 62B makes a good point. Also for Andre, he wasn’t any higher than 7’0” peak. 6’11” range is even debatable when you see pics. 7’0” is I guess but that’s absolute max and likely was a bit less. I respect your opinion But you do see here that almost everyone else has Hogan 6’5-6’6” as well and Taker most people believe was 6’7” range peak

Canson, I don’t know how young you are or where you get your information but it is fact that Hogan was billed at 6’8” for his entire run in the 80’s with the WWF. I know this because I watched him live many times and in every PPV he was announced at 6’8” and 303lbs. He was also referred to as being closer to 6’9” many times by Gorilla Monsoon. This makes complete sense, they inflated heights by 2 inches virtually all the time. He was over 6’6” and almost a full 6’7” barefoot so they billed and referred to him 2 inches taller, just like Andre was 7’2” so they billed him as 7’4”, Undertaker was legit over 6’8” barefoot so they billed him as 6’10”, Warrior was 6’2.5” so they billed him 6’4”, and the list goes on and on. He started getting billed at 6’7” in WCW, he was now down to 6’6” or a bit less and the Kay-Fabe era was pretty much over due to so many celebrities of known height being on their shows.

Andre was not ever 7'2". This I know first hand with out a doubt. Undertaker did not look over 6'7" when I saw him at the YMCA in the early 90's. Hogan was at most an inch taller than my 6'4" Grandfather in 1980. Also early billings for Hogan, like in the late 70's was 6'7". I never saw Warrior in person, but I doubt he was much over 6'1"

I think hogan was 6’4.75-6’5” in his prime from like 1979-1985. From there he slowly shrank to about 6’2.5” by the early 2000’s. He would square off with real 6’2” guys like Goldberg, Lesnar and HHH and look generally the same height as them in the early 2000s.

I don't see him over 196 peak, undertaker was 4 cm taller in 1991.
And I doubt taker had footwear advantage.

Later the commentator says 6’5.5 and 6’6 earlier in the day which is very much believable at his peak. The 6’6” listing has an outside chance but I think realistically a strong 6’5 to weak 6’6” is his peak

@ Canson...early in his career, 1978-1987’ish he was “occasionally” billed @ 6’8”.
As a matter of fact...in the official Wrestle Mainia 3 program tale of the tape in 1987 he is listed @ 6’8” & 294 lbs. from 1978-1988 it was 80/20, 6’7” or 6’8”...80% of the time he was listed @ 6’7”, but...randomly they would about 20% of time list him @ 6’8” for almost a decade.

SnerhagAip777: do you really wish that you were only 6’0” tall versus 6’5”? I can see an argument for 6’5” being too tall but 6’0” versus something like 6’2 or 6’3” I’m surprised.

I'm 6ft5 and i hope that by age 65 (or earlier) i will be 6ft2, which would be amazing. If i make it to 85, i hope that by that time i will have lost at least 5 inches. So by the time i'm fragile and old, i'm gonna have my perfect height.

@Ronster: I respect your opinion but even Rob only lists him a solid 6’6” at his peak and another poster here 62B also said he saw him in the 80s with his 6’4” Grandfather and that he was only about an inch taller. Undertaker was 6’7” range peak and easily 1.5-2” taller than Hulk. I definitely see an argument for 6’6” but over it looks a bit much. As for how he looks today, you may have seen him prior to some of the other posters here meaning he could’ve lost height from when you saw him to when others have. I think JoeyB33’s estimate is a bit low but likely because Hogan wasn’t standing as tall as he could. 6’2” looks too low in my opinion. I still think he’s 6’3” today. My estimate in his prime was likely a little above 6’5 however not a flat one. Meaning he would possibly wake up 6’6 and dip under to 6’5.25 possibly 6’5.5. But 6’5 range covers that

@Danimal: there have been a few people that have met him here that have said he’s closer to 6’3 If not over by a bit. Only JoeyB33 thought he was closer to 6’2”. Maybe it was his posture but then you have some that have said 6’3.5 as well. He generally looks around 6’3” if he stands his best in pictures. But even if he really was the full 6’6” at his peak (6’5 range is really where I have him whether it be solid or strong 6’5 or maybe weak 6’6”) I still say that he hasn’t lost 4” in his lifetime. He may have woke up to 6’6” peak and measured 6’5” range based on the site standards. 3” is even pushing it but possible if he really maintained 6’6” in his prime. But Realistically, it’s somewhere in the 2-2.5” range. If Rob’s listings are off for his peak and current, it’s not by that much maybe up to 1/2” on the peak and his current looks pretty close to what he could conceivably measure today. At his peak I can’t see much difference between he and Tiny Lister

When I met Hogan in 2015 he was 6’3.5. Certainly no less.
I had no footwear advantage.
I had the pic on here. I’m 6’0.5 and Hulk had me by 3” minimum.
He had obvious postural problems, his knees were bent and his hips tilted.
I’d say he’d lost around 2” from his peak of between 6’5 and 6’6.
He’s 100% over 6’2.
When you stand next to him his physical proportions are clearly that of a very large man. Super long arms, huge head, hands etc.

Canson, he said many times his mother made everybody take their shoes off and she would measure them by putting a ruler on their head and marking it on the wall, then she would measure their height and he was 6’7”. I personally saw him up close in the 80’s and again in 2014 and he is considerably shorter than he was before. I would believe he was over 6’6” and she rounded up, in 2014 when he would stand straight which was not much he easily was over 6’4” barefoot still. At 65 now he likely is a bit under 6’4”, he only appears shorter due to his horrible posture and bent knees all the time. 6’5” is way too low for his peak.

@184guy: Rampage has been around and active even longer than 2010. If he saw him in person at 6’5” he may be it, but if we are talking just estimating him from a distance or in pics we aren’t sure. Also unless he saw footwear it’s no guarantee. But I’d imagine Rampage looked for that especially being he’s been around as long as he has. However Estimates vary from one poster to the next. As for Sotiris, I don’t think he’s deliberately shaving an inch off people. His estimates may or may not be off but that’s what he thinks of them in the pics. I don’t always agree with his estimates but he is right on some I’ll say.

@Rawdshaq: he likely had shoes on when his mother measured him. I’m more of an advocate of 6’5 range but if he ended up near 6’6” it wouldn’t be anything over it and it would likely be something like 6’5.5 over 6’6” which puts him near 6’7” in showed or it could’ve been an oversight. My personal opinion is 6’5-6’5.5 range and I do agree today 6’3” give or take up to 1/4”

If an adult Bruiser Brody was only 6'4" and some change, then maybe Hogan was only around 6'4.5", not even 6'5". Look at the pics I posted of Hogan w/ Stan Hansen (footwear visible) vs. Brody/Hansen. Does that look like a 6'6" guy to you...? Not to me. Let's not forget that when Jesse Ventura said Hogan wore internal lifts, maybe he was actually telling the truth, same as Bruce Prichard vis-a-vis Taker. As for Hogan presently being 6'2"... on that we can agree. Spectators can't really tell how tall a wrestler is when distance and a wrestling ring serves as a great divide. Seeing someone up-close at a public appearance is altogether different, which is why Hogan almost always wore cowboy boots to keep "up" appearances of his billed height. A shrinking 6'10" guy like Andre had to wear cowboy boots out in public to be somewhat closer to his 7'4" billing, especially given his poor posture which made him look 6'9" -- the height Chuck Wepner believed him to be. Anyways, that's my 2 cents, unaffected by inflation.
P.S. I understand that Hogan had a lot of surgeries, but those began at the tail end of the '90s. Here's Hogan w/ Fred Ottman back in 1990... Click Here Keep in mind that Ottman was only 6'3".

Please make a great favor : stop deliberately shavind everyone 1 inch . Crush wasn't 6'4
If I'm not wrong , Rampage met him and Rampage himself is about 6'3 7/8 and said that Crush looked at least 6'5 , and I'm don't think Rampage is a troll . He is active on this site since 2010 at least I belief

He says his mom measured him at 6'7" when he was younger and now that he lost height, he was 6'4" but regained back to 6'5"? Is it possible that his mom measured him slightly too tall? Maybe an inch too much? 6'6" peak, 6'3" currently? Probably the case

Wow, didn't know that until now. It's very rare for a wrestler to get underlisted. But obviously Lance Storm saying Christian's 6'1"-6'2" is wrong though.

So, as of 2013 (he's had more surgeries since), he had 8 back surgeries (all spinal fusions), 2 full hip replacements and 8 knee replacements. He once stood a legit 6'6" and is presently 6'2".

@ Sotiris, after looking at all the photos, videos, diferent postures ...and both men had on similar black sneakers. Current Hall is 1/4” taller than Current Hogan.
That being said:
If Hogan is 6’3”, then Hall is 6’3.25”
If Hogan is 6’2.75”, then Hall is 6’3”
If Hogan is 6’2.5”, then Hall now is struggling with even hitting 6’3” now, likely 6’2.75” afternoon height.
Rob, Hall needs a downgrade for 2019.

Shoot peak 6'6'' 300 makes sense to me. His billed weight in AWA was like 320 but no way. That's a work weight. His 302 was realistic until the steroid scandal, and then we're talking about at least a 30 lb loss at the end of the WWF run.

The Martyn Ford shots are all over the place, there are shots of him and Hogan with barely 2" between them.
I'd say Ford's 6'7.
There are shots of him towering Momoa.
I bet Momoa and Hogan are farily similar in heigh. Maybe 1" to Momoa max.

I never met Matt Morgan to talk to but I did stand right next to him.
I'd say maxium 6'8 barefoot, could have been 6'7. No way 6'10. Noticably shorter than Kevin Nash in person who I'd say still could be 6'10. I'm meeting him again in a month of so and I'll get another pic.
I also met Abyss who they billed up to 7ft, I'd say 6'6 maximum, more likely 6'5.
Rob Terry I'd agree with just over 6'3. I stoood next to him for quite a while. for such a huge guy he had zero charisma or presence.

Ron, Sotiris just posted a pic a recent pic of Hogan, Hall, Nash & a female fitness competitor. Hogan & Hall are the exact same height. One could even argue Hogan edging him out in the photo by 0.25”?? And there are many pics from last fall’s NWO reunion tour where Hogan & Hall look the exact same height? So, his can Hall be Listed by you @ current 6’4” & Hogan current 6’3” ?? IMO, no way Scott Hall is over 6’3.5” right now. And if Hogan is 6’3”? Hall is no more than 6’3” to 6’3.25” ...IMO? Your thoughts Sotiris after posting that pic?

@Vegas: I would put Corbin at his original listing 6’6” (by this site’s standards) being the combine is an early morning measurement. But what you said adds up because Strowman is only at most 1/2” taller meaning if he measured at the same time as Corbin at a Combine he would be similar in height with maybe Brock Osweiler 6’6 7/8 or maybe the full 6’7” at best. I think Rob has both listed ok in terms of difference but I’d move both down 1/4” 6’6 and 6’6.5

When was Christian ever billed at 5'10"? I've only seen 6'1" and maybe 6'2". WWE or any other wrestling promotion isn't dumb enough to underlist a wrestler by 2 inches.

Stop looking for logic in pro wrestling billings as there is none.
Corbin measured 6'6 1/2 barefoot and is listed 6'8 in wee. Strowmans probably only an inch or so shy of his 6'8 billing listing (he was also listed 6'8 in strongman), Drew McIntyre is an inch or so shy of his 6'5 WWE listing. Reigns was measured 6'2.5 and listed 6'3 in wwe. On flip side Mysterio is 4 inches short of his 5'6 listing, Kane is 5 short of his 7 foot billing. Rollins and Ambrose are similar height yet billed at 6'1 and 6'4 respectively.
Christian was billed 5'10 and almost 6 foot in person, spike dudley is nowhere near as short as his 5'5 wrestling billing in person.

Sotiris, great pics of Matt Morgan. He legit only looks 6’7-1/2” MAX (could even argue 6’7” flat) in all those photos. Especially when comparing him with 6’6” to 6’6-1/2” Ali Baba! My thoughts...a peak & at his prime Matt Morgan was 6’7-3/4” afternoon barefoot (6’8” morning) and was 6’9” in normal footwear...6’9-1/2” in wrestling boots = pro wrestling billing of 6’10” plus.

It makes more sense for a 6'7" guy to get billed 3" more, not 1.5". Seriously.

@Henry: I’d be careful critiquing other people and how they assess height etc. do you realize you just said Hogan was 6’9” out of bed at one point in his life? He was never that tall. Undertaker was never even 6’9 out of bed barefoot and he was taller than Hogan. Taker was likely 6’8 out of bed barefoot and a peak Hogan was 6’6 out of bed max and 6’5 range throughout the day. Either way it doesn’t matter what he was out of bed as that isn’t his true height. Your chiropractor being a chiropractor doesn’t mean he is right especially if he didn’t measure Hogan himself

Sotiris Gravas, LMFAO, do you even understand anything about perspective and camera angles? Hogan is slouching big time and his knees are bent.
I have also talked to my
chiropractor many times about this.
He said that Hogan started losing height by very small fractions of a millimeter when he first started doing leg drops.
He said that Hogan's peak height was in the late 1970s. Even by the mid 1980s, Hogan had height loss that was measurable.
HOGAN ALWAYS SLOUCHES, HAS A VERY WIDE STANCE, AND BENDS HIS KNEED. Hogan was also all coked out awake for 40 or 50 hours reducing his height a lot from his peak morning height after a solid 10 hours of sleep. Hogan was a minimum 6'9" barefoot after a good 13 hours of sleep before he ever started wrestling.

Hogan was a minimum 6'9" barefoot after a good 13 hours of sleep before he ever started wrestling.

@62B: I would be far more likely to agree with your estimate than 6’7”. I only used the 6’6” saying that I highly doubt a celeb is going to be listed taller than Rob has them. And it’s for the most part true across this site. If anything, most of these celebs are slightly overlisted versus underlisted. Some of the posts that I see here are very silly to be honest. And for comparison, Taker is listed peak 6’7.5. I would say the difference between the two may be 2” solid and that Taker may have been something like 6’7.25 peak and Hulk 6’5.25 peak both at lows. I don’t rule out 6’5.5 for Hulk but don’t rule out 6’5” either. I doubt he was ever more than 6’5.5 at a low however and I doubt he would even be that high in the afternoon

At my heaviest, I was Aaron Reed's weight of 305 lbs, but let's just say it wasn't all muscle. Far from it...
P.S. There's a chance Ford is 6'5.5".

@RONSTER. My experience with Hogan was back in 1980. He stopped right in front of us on his way to the ring. He was minimally taller than my 6'4" Grandfather. My best guess is that Hulk had about 1" on my Grandfather. Certainly not 3". And you never know if Hogan had any kind of lift in his boots.

@Canson. lately I keep remembering a conversation I had with my army roommate back in the late 80's. My friend had been up close to Hogan several times and said Hogan was pretty much right in-between my height of just over 6'3" and our other room mate who was 6'6". If peak Hogan was an inch and a half taller than me, that would put him 6'4 3/4 ". I do think 6'5" to 6'5 1/4" are possibilities, but I am starting to back off the idea Hogan was ever 6'5.5" unless it was right out of bed

Hogan was 1.5-2” shorter than taker in his prime. If Taker was really 6’7.5 like Rob listed him it would mean Hulk was no more than 6’6” or strong 6’5 range low end. He was never 6’7”

Henry, I have working eyes and no bias so of course I see what is plainly there and indisputable in those pictures that Hogan was minimal 6’7” barefoot back then. But it’s futile, none of the posters in here will accept the truth, they don’t want to accept it so instead they will continue to use altered photos, or ones with bad angles and posture to try and convince us all he was shorter than he actually was. I have said it before, I saw him up close in 1986 and he was 6’9” in his boots easily, and he was still well over 6’4” when I met him in 2014.
The photos of Hogan with people of known height in level floor, same footwear and posture always prove he was as tall as he said.
And he was “billed” at 6’8”-9” throughout his WWF run in the 80’s.

I know that Alan32080 mentioned before that he himself didn’t lose height very quickly throughout the day but did later. With his estimate as of the most recent interaction with him he had Hogan as probably half inch taller than he was tops. So if Alan dips to 6’2.67-6’2.75 at a low it would make Hogan around 6’3-6’3.25. Rob’s listing is probably fair as I doubt he’s less than 6’3” from what I’ve seen provided he stands straight. But I doubt over 6’3 1/8 or 6’3 1/4 and certainly not over 6’3 at an extreme low.
His peak was likely 6’5-6’5.5. I don’t rule out something like 196.5 at a low but I think once we cross that mark it looks almost unrealistic. 6’5.5 is of course close to that but often times he looked more 6’5 range than 6’6 which is not how a guy measuring that tall who wore boots would look. If Lister is 6’5” or even a tiny hair over like 6’5 1/8 he wouldn’t have noticed a difference if Hogan were 1/4” taller than him. Still wide range given, Meaning 6’5.75-6’6.5 out of bed 6’5-6’5.5 afternoon height. 6’6/6’5.25 looks really good

@JT and Sotiris: a peak Dr J was likely 6’5.5. He had Jordan by an inch at his peak. Jordan likely measures 6’5 morning 6’4.5 afternoon. I knew a friend of mine is probably a solid 6’4” maybe as tall as me at 6’4.25 tops. He met Dr J and thought it was a 2” difference back in the 80s and that he was 6’6”. In the pic it’s harder to tell but given footwear may have played a role as it did appear Dr J had thicker footwear slightly and that it wasn’t quite 2” I could arrive at something like peak 6’5.5. While I don’t rule out what Sotiris said completely 6’4 seems low. I would say he’s still near 6’5” today

Buster Douglas and Richard Beltzer both have footwear advantages and yet The Hulkster looks at least 6'9" in these photos. A 6'5" man could never ever look this tall. People would have to reduce Beltzer and Douglas' height at least 4" from their actual barefoot height to make their laughable 6'5" peak barefoot Hulk Hogan fantasy justifiable in their own mind.

Personally I don't think HHH is under 6', but he probably isn't much over. I think HHH regularly wears shoes or boots that give him a boost. Most likely my friend saw him when he was wearing more normal footwear and had the expectation of seeing a 6'3"- 6'4" HHH and was probably taken off guard when he saw that he was inches shorter than me.

Pat Riley said that Magic Johnson was 6’8-1/2” with his sneakers on & only about 6’7-1/2” in his socks, once during an interview back in the early 1990’s. Seems about spot on for a young peak Magic. Current & near 60 old Magic is likely now 6’7” flat barefoot.

@Phenom89: yea peak I would say maybe 1.5-2” difference between the two. So Taker maybe 6’7.25 peak and Hulk 6’5-6’5.5 peak. Today Hulk still looks 6’3 range while Taker 6’6ish. So no higher than 3” but likely something like 2.5-3” difference between them now is possible

@JT That Tony Atlas/Hogan pic blew my mind. Thanks for posting that.
@viper I saw Edge at my gym back in '97. What freaked me out was how he was doing single-arm dumbbell curls w/ only 15 lbs and he was actually using a spotter. Maybe he had an injury or something. But that always stood out in my mind. Agreed, 6'2".
@tree I don't wanna disagree w/ you, but the problem is, Fred Ottman has always claimed 6'3" and is still 6'3". (If I'm wrong, can somebody let me know...) He was billed as 6'3" and Google has him at 6'3" (rhymes w/ tree).

@Sotiris: doesn’t surprise me. Hulk was 6’5” range peak and 6’3 today. He was listed similar to how some 6’7” pro basketball players are listed (that are sometimes in reality as low as 6’5 flat barefoot or even 6’4.5 at lows). Hulk could’ve been 6’5-6’5.5 meaning maybe he could get 6’6 in the morning straight out of bed and still get 6’5 1/2 at a physical 2-3 hours out of bed. Meaning 6’5.25 at a low. He would easily be 6’6.5 in a regular shoe at that stage or 6’6.75 with regular boots or Jordan’s at that stage. But I don’t rule out just a solid 6’5” at a low and 6’5.75 out of bed. I think the proof is in the boots he used to wear and that’s how he got the 6’7” listing and claim. From what I recall he was sane as Tiny Lister and Lister said that himself. The same can possibly mean Hulk was 1/4” taller at 6’5.25 to Lister’s 6’5 but surely not a barefoot 6’7” or even 6’6 in my opinion

The same can possibly mean Hulk was 1/4” taller at 6’5.25 to Lister’s 6’5 but surely not a barefoot 6’7” or even 6’6 in my opinion

@Sotiris: Not sure what’s up with the pics. But with Magic Dr J looks smaller than he should. I find hard to believe a guy who was near 6’6 or at worst enough over 6’5 had lost that much. That just goes to show that in some pics one can look taller or shorter one moment to the next. I saw a pic of someone who I could almost reliably guess as around 6’4 (worst 6’3.75 prob) next to a friend of mine who is 6’3”. Dr J had close to 2” peak on his friend. Worst case he was 6’5.5 like they said he was. If he’s 6’4 today I’d be surprised because he had an inch on Barkley

Magic Johnson is 6’9” not 6’7”, the usual lower everyone’s height by 2 inches to try and justify the rediculous low height estimates for Hogan.

@Phenom89: you’re saying Hogan was never 6’5? Or someone else. Hogan was a peak 6’5 if not a bit over the mark. 6’5.5 at a low may be a lot but he would likely clear close to 6’6” out of bed if not bang on 6’6

@tree
Undertaker was maybe...maybe a hair over 6'7 barefoot at his peak, in my opinion.
If hogan was not 6'4.5 he was max half inch more. 6'5" because there are 2" minimum between them.
6'7 is ridiculous as 6'6.5.
6'6 too much.
If someone continue to look at André-Hogan staredown thinking that André was 7'2 ,7'0 or 6'11 its useless keep guessing.

@62B: yep and Alan32080 said Hogan was slightly taller than he was. I’m thinking he is possibly slightly taller but Alan went with a height earlier in the day slightly rounded up. He mentioned he’s weak 6’3 at a low meaning Hogan was probably Max 6’3.25 based on the estimation. Only because we go by an afternoon height on this site. I think Rob’s listing for him is ok because he’s likely closer to 6’3 than 6’4”. Best case could be the 6’3.25 absolute worst case he could dip a hair under the 6’3” mark like 6’2 7/8 maybe. I guarantee if he stood straight that he’s taller than Joey

He was never 6'6, leave alone 6'7-6'8
He was never 6'5.5 or 6'5.
Not only compared to Lesnar, but also with Undertaker (no less than 2" taller than him back in the days)

viper is right about Strawberry. I posted his 6'5" claim and booking sheet a while back on Tom Selleck's page. @RP: Rob has said his listings should be thought of as a measurement around lunchtime or noon.

Tenta measured 198 cm. for sumo Click Here The article also says 6'5 3/4" so the 198 cm. figure might be a round up. There's no indication what time of the day he was measured. Tenta was also referred to as 6'6" when he wrestled in college at LSU.
With a footwear disadvantage, Tenta was still taller than Hogan, who was a little taller than Ottman, who looked around 6’4”. Like Taker, Tenta had a very long forehead (and probably around 11 inch overall head length) Click Here which made him look a little shorter than he was. Tenta was also around 2 inches taller than ~ 6’4” Big Boss Man.
