Cobra; answer to that is easy, Sid was over 6'7"and wore big lifts to make him over 6'9" in his boots, and Taker was over 6'8" barefoot. Taker never looked any more than an inch taller than Hogan in the early 90's. Hogan despite what some try to purport on here as truth has lost over 3" of height he can't get back. He was down to 6'4", then had his spins fixed finally which gets him closer to 6'5" if he bothers to stand straight and tall which he seldom does. I've personally seen him and met him both when he was young in his 30's and when he was 61 years young and he lost a tremendous amount of height. Hip replacements and knee replacements along with bone being shaved down and removed from his joints combined with the big curve at the bottom of his spine is the reason and anyone who says different is in denial.

How could Hogan be 6-6 if Undertaker and Psycho Sid who are both listed at that height on this site had at least an inch each(closer to 2) on him in the early 90's?

Dude probably lost some height but his peak was less than 6'6 Undertaker had like a 6'8 peak and I bet he was at least 2.5 inches shorter in the 80s.

Bret and Shawn were 2 inches shorter than Curt Hennig and Hennig was 1.5 inches shorter than 6'3 nfl listed Steve Jordan
I can't even make out Bret's footwear in your clip
I met Bret in 2001 as well and he didn't look easily 6ft then, of course a 6ft+ Bret would increase the heights of Bulldog, Owen, Pillman, Neidhart among others
______________________________________
I met Shawn Michaels in a bar back in the late 80's. He looked around 6'1" in the cowboy boots he was wearing, so his barefoot height was probably around 5'11'", and Hart always looked about an inch taller to me, but I've also heard that Brett wore lifts

Again more Jake the Snake related info, here he is with Tony Todd, who's below 6'5 today. Not the best picture to compare sure, but amazingly does it not look like Jake could be pushing 6'5 now? Maybe he was a 6'6 early on

I met Bret around same time as Rob and he is my height..he was also easily an inch shorter than Cena on flat ground side by side at Summerslam 2010. Many here think Cena is flat 6ft so where does that leave Bret @11mins 53 seconds Click Here
____________
Bret was easily 6' in his prime. By 2010, he was nothing compared to how he was in his heyday. Ric Flair was about 5'11" in 1998. Here is Bret looking noticeably taller: Click Here
Take away Flair's hair, and they is no way Hart was less than 1" taller and could look as much as 2" taller really.

Austin was taller than me in person but not 6'1. He does not look 6'1 in WCW circa 1993 next to Pillman (who was supposedly measured under 5'9) or Barry Windham who was same height as Dustin Rhodes at the time in identical footwear. Rhodes can't have been more than 6'4 given he was edged out by Conan O'Brien in the mid 1990s.

I met austin numerous times past 15 years and he wasn't 6'1..you yourself said slick was 6'4 and Hogan doesn't look much taller than him in the clip I linked...
Prichard no question was 5'10 when I met him and he was only very early 40s then
__________
You don't have to be much taller than a 6'4" guy to be 6'5"... As 6'5" Tiny Lister said, he and Hogan were both 6'5". Hogan may have been more like 6'5.5", but that's it. As far as your in-person estimates, I will just say that I'm skeptical. I'm not skeptical that you met them, I just think you are underestimating their heights. Austin is listed as 6'1.25" on this site. He always looked around 6'1". Rob has met an old Bret Hart and still thought he looked 6' (which he was), and Austin had an inch on Hart. Click Here
He may give off the impression of a 6' guy, but he was every bit 6'1" in his prime. The only other explanation is he wore some type of lifts in his WWE footwear.

Interesting thread on wrestler's height here, saying Hogan and Jake Roberts were easily over 6'4-6'5 for the most part, both men possibly touching 6'6 as well as how Barry Windham could have been in that range too

Cowboy boots with 2" heels actually only raise you're measured height by 1.75" ...due to the downward slope off the boot into the toe...you're not standing on a level 2" box...you are wearing a boot/shoe with a 2" heel...with the front half of the shoe sole only being 1.25 to 1.33" ...I've don't the experiment myself ...2" cowboy boots boost your measured height by 1.75",,, and ..2" heel logger work boots raise your measured height by 1.875"...so, a 6'5.5" to 6'5.75" barefoot Hogan would've been 6'7.25" to 6'7.5" in 2" heel cowboy boots.

Chet was taller than Michael Jordan who was not 6'6", but more like 6'4.5" to 6'5". Chet looks every bit of 6'6" to me. Hogan was taller than 6'4" peak and if anyone says any different they have an agenda. He was probably 6'5.5 peak barefoot and close to 6'7" in his ring gear

The camera tilt greatly favors Chet in the Hogan pic. Look at the bricks on the wall to see what horizontal is.
Chet is also closer to the camera, giving him another advantage.
Look at how much higher Hogan's eyes are than Chet's. Hogan would be noticeably taller if Chet shaved his head and there was,no camera advantage.

No, actually there's an endless amount of evidence of height loss. It's just that your a dumb troll who just wants to mess with the people on this page. You must have never seen the episode of Hogan Knows Best where it literally shows his spine all crooked. According to legit 6'5" Tiny Lister, Hogan was 6'5" in 1989.
Click Here
All the evidence in the world shows Hogan was at least 6'5" in his prime and is around 6'3"-6'4" now. Then again, you're the same troll who claimed Roddy Piper didn't lose any height. Not to mention Hogan is 63 years old and the average man loses 1cm every decade past 40. But, that just shows how stupid you are. Just another clown that acts like he knows everything when in reality he doesn't know jack. Also, your little comparison of him and The Rock DOES show him to be over an inch taller than Rock. But, of course you're too dumb to see it. What a joke.

WOW. "crooked spine"? when coming from the one who said Andre weighed 700+ lbs in WM3 then it doesnt mean much, but i guess you believe that too, kid.
Instead of focus on me in your entire post you could had bring up some evidence, but you ofcourse didnt. Wondering who the troll is... and your too dumb to take Hogans lift in account, plus he was the one closer to the camera in those comarison pics with Vader. Theres absolutely no way that Hogan was 6'5 in the 80's (he has never been) he barely looked 6'4 and if he wasnt 6'4 he was shorter than that, not taller. Here we have your peak 80's Hogan struggling with 6'4 next to 6'4 listed Jimbo Covert and 6'2 listed Otis Wilson Click Here and here we have 6'5 Frank Thomas next to Otis Click Here
Considering how much taller 6'5 Frank Thomas looked next to Otis than what ever Hogan did in his peak, Jimbo's and Oti's listed heights probably included footwear so theres a posibility that Hogan could had been only 6'3 peak
Don't forget in that pic you have Chep, who's peak was 6'6 so your digging your own grave where Hogan looks the same height.. Have you ever heard of camera angles, obviously Covert is closer to the camera and Hogan is slightly bending as you can see

Staightahead, Hogan edged out my 6'4.5" grandfather in 1980, 6'5" to 6'5.5" seems the most accurate for a peak Hogan to me.

You must have never seen the episode of Hogan Knows Best where it literally shows his spine all crooked. According to legit 6'5" Tiny Lister, Hogan was 6'5" in 1989.

All the evidence in the world shows Hogan was at least 6'5" in his prime and is around 6'3"-6'4" now. Then again, you're the same troll who claimed Roddy Piper didn't lose any height. Not to mention Hogan is 63 years old and the average man loses 1cm every decade past 40. But, that just shows how stupid you are. Just another clown that acts like he knows everything when in reality he doesn't know jack. Also, your little comparison of him and The Rock DOES show him to be over an inch taller than Rock. But, of course you're too dumb to see it. What a joke.

Dicksock; first off the line goes accords to the top of Jakes head only cutting through his hair and he was clearly 2 inches shorter than Hogan there while in Cowboy boots and Jake was a solid string 6'5" plus guy at the time. Also, yes other guys did leg drops without loosing height that early but they didn't do it every match and weee not running while jumping that high in the air, this in addition to the fact that Hogan was well over 300lbs all those years so by his mid 30's he was easily down an inch. I really love how the earlier post of the Aikman pics clearly show Hogan even to slightly taller than Troy in a full body shot with his legs bent a lot dropping his height by an inch or two while Troy is standing as tall and straight as he could.

HeightcrazyRed6ft, you're wrong.
Even with a somewhat curved spine, Hogan was still noticeably taller than PEAK Jake Roberts. There is,also an interesting photo of Hogan's curved spine on page 3.

The line is drawn through Jake's head. There are numerous other clips of them together where they look the same height. Hogan was a solid 6'5" guy, but that's it. The idea that he lost height or had a curved spine in 1987 is laughable. He was in perfect shape and was only 33/34 years old. You do realize that many wrestlers do leg drops or other similar moves and do not shrink from it. Hogan didn't shrink from leg drops. He shrank from decades of steroid abuse. His back deteriorated just like Superstar Billy Graham's. There is absolutely zero evidence that proves Hogan lost any real height even by the mid 90s much less 1987. He was probably 6'5.5" tops in his prime, 6'5" by the time he became Hollywood Hogan, 6'4" by the time he came back to WWE, and 6'3.5" by the time he got to TNA. He's probably still somewhere in the 6'3" range and maybe closer to 6'4" in the morning. A overall height loss of about 2" is believable and fair.

I think the case could be made that Hogan is still close to 6'4" in the morning/midday. He has probably lost about 2". He was probably 6'6" out of bed in his prime and is now 6'4" out of bed.

Barely looks 6ft nowadays and lost most of strength.
Sad to hear all the bad news about him but I doubt he was ever 6 7.
He did look very big in a few b movies but 6 4 is still very big and he has long arms and was quite big muscle wise.

The Hulkster was losing height well before the surgeries. He was losing height with every leg drop. It may have been 1/1000 of an inch per leg drop, but it was height loss regardless.
Anyone whose seen the x-rays of Hogan grotesquely curved spine realizes that he lost height WELL before his first knee, hip,neck, or back surgery.
This is why only 1970s Hogan was his true peak height. Hogan stacked up treaty well against 6'5.95" barefoot John Tenta.

Jake was leaner/less muscular than Hogan. Both men were basically the same height with the slight edge going to Hogan. Hogan did dwarf 6'1"-6'2" Ultimate Warrior. I think Hogan peaked somewhere in the 6'5" range for his average daily height. I'll just give him 6'5.5" peak and 6'3" now. He could have definitely been 6'6" out of bed and 6'5" at night.

Mayfield ...that video is perplexing ...Big Boss Man looks the same height as Hogan...footwear tricks? Hmmm? Because in all other pics & videos from 1988-1991, Hogan was always about 2" taller. Ray (Big Boss Man) is one of about a dozen or so pro wrestlers I have meet in my life ...meet him in Greenville, SC in 1999...I can personally confirm he was only 6'3"...6'3.5" max in 1999.

The guy was huge back then. Andre The Giant wasn't that much bigger than him.

Hogan got a lot of his height back, by the way, through his successful back surgery, 3 years ago.
He went down to a low of about 6'2 in about 2004. But after his surgery he's 6'4 or 6'5.
I saw a picture of him with Lebron James last year and there is no way he's 6'2 any more. Lebron had about 3 inches on him.

I've just been watching Wrestlemania 1 and Hogan is huge in that. He's literally almost a foot taller than Mr T.
He looks an easy 6'7 back then. He's a giant.

JT have you ever posted you own thoughts on Terrys height? Peak? Now? Or no height loss? Just wonderingen since you post a lot of photos of hulk. I've been around on this site but can't recall your claims of his height?
I used to think 6’6” here (and 6’8” when I was a kid...) but am leaning more towards 6’5” peak and 6’3” current.
^ sounds right. 6'5 peak and around 6'3 today. Tanks JT

Straightahead's estimate is in line with Ali Baba's (who met Ferrigno). He said 6'2-6'2.5. I can buy a peak Lou at most 192cm (maybe 6'3.5) possibly lowball peak 6'3.25 and an absolute peak Hogan at a solid 197 (afternoon) maybe 196-197

Lou & Terry look the exact same height in that pic!!! Actually analyze closely ...line up top of grads minus Lou's hair, Hogan's sunglasses...then line up eyes, brows, nose & mouth's...Hogan actually comes out 1/4" (0.25") taller ...even with his slight lean & brad in his artificial hip. BTW...isn't this pic a year old? This pic tells me Hogan: 6'3" to 6'3.25" & Lou: 6'2.75 to 6'3" ...BTW: peak Lou was a weak 6'4"...more like 6'3.75 (true barefoot) according to my friend and former pro bodybuilder John DeFendis. He said Lou was right at 6'5" in sneakers ...barely 6'4" barefoot...more like 6'3.75"

@Danimal find the full body shot of that pic Hogan is bending his legs in a crouched down position and Lou is standing straight. From what i see even in this pic Hogan edges him out so add a inch if Hogan straightened up.

Hogan got out of bed around 6'6.5" to 6'7" and was between 6'6" & 6'5.75" during the day prime. Now probably gets out of bed at 6'4.5" and walks around during the day at 6'4" to 6'3.5" depending on time of day.

@Danimal: I doubt he's lost 3 or 4". That's far fetched. But Probably 2" maybe a hair over. I can imagine at his absolute peak (prior to the wrestling career) he may have been 6'5.5 making him near the 197cm line (near lowest) then 6'5 for the remainder of his prime and now maybe 6'3-6'3.5. But out of bed, this guy couldve easily in his true prime been 199cm maybe 6'6.5ish and lost an inch.

@Dicksock: your estimate for Hulk looks good. I'm an advocate of him being somewhere between 6'5-6'5.5 prime.

Tenta said in a Japanese wrestling magazine I had in the mid 90s that he was 6-5" flat in socks,same as Hogan was. Also said Hulk would wear slightly beefed up cowboy boots giving him a good 2 and 1/2 to 3" inch increase on his 6-5". So yeah he was near 6-8" in boots. End of the interview Tenta claimed wwf bulled on heights massively,Ultimate warrior was billed @ 6-4" and Tenta said he was a shade over 6-1" in socks.

Hogan & Earthquake Tenta always basically appeared the exact same height to me from 1989-1991 when they'd match up face to face.
25% of the time Hogan may have looked 1/4 to 1/2 inch taller...and 25% of the time Tenta would look 1/4 to 1/2 taller than Hogan...but, 50% & the overwhelming majority of the time, the two men looked the exact same height. Sumo's get measures barefoot...Tenta was 6'5-7/8" @ age 23...by his late 30's he was most likely 6'5-1/2" @ best after carrying around 420 to 450 lbs for 15 plus years. Wouldn't even rule out a flat 6'5" for Tenta by age 40 @ 420-450 lbs of compression.

Earthquake could have been measured barefoot as well. And if anyone can show me a picture of Tenta being 1" taller than Hogan i will be more than open to changing my opinion. The 1990 pictures of Hogan and Quake during their feud shows Hogan to be taller. Not by much, but taller nonetheless

Earthquake was actually referenced as 6'5.95" (6'6"):

He was 198cm and that was wrongly converted to 6'5.75". It is really 6'5.95".
Here is him next to Hogan:

Again, both 6'5" Tiny Lister and the 6'6" Chet Coppock (ring announcer from WM 2) claimed 6'5"-6'6" for Hogan (Lister claimed 6'5" and Coppock claimed 6'5"-6'6"). Their claims combined with all the overwhelming visual evidence proves Hogan was 6'5"-6'6" in his prime. I think 6'5.5" prime and 6'3.5" now would be an ideal listing here.

@Bigmike74: actually Straightahead makes good points on some of the people he comments. Hogan's height will always be a topic of debate just because he has been listed as high as 6'8" but described as low as 6'3" that's the case with all of the bigger wrestlers to portray that larger than life image. Example they listed Tyler Mane 6'10 when in his peak he was likely between 6'7 and 6'8 (he's no more than 6'7 these days but not sure if that's his peak or whether he was really 6'8). Ditto for Taker. Was likely only 6'7 range peak not 6'9 or 10. I don't think Hulk was as low as 6'3" peak but I do believe he was (at his absolute peak height 196-197 range tops maybe 6'5.5) and likely still 6'5 into the early 90s. Maybe he rounded up to 6'6 but another wrestler described both he and Hogan as 6'7 in boots 6'5 barefoot and Hogan once described himself as 6'5. Possibly the interview you showed me was a rounded height or (and this part I definitely see) he was 6'6 (198cm) range out of bed and 196 range at night and used morning height

I would say Hogan was never more than 6'5"-6'5.5" barefoot. He may have worn lifts to make him look taller in the 80s/early 90s. He looked no more than 6'5" as Hollywood Hogan in 1996-1998 even though he wouldn't have lost any real height by that point. He was probably 6'4" by 2002 and 6'3" by the time he got to TNA. Today, he may be 6'3-6'3.5". So, he has lost about 2"-2.5" as you claimed.

Absolute most in his prime: In the 80s/90s Max 197-198 out of bed and 195-196. He was somewhere between 6'5-6'5.5 maybe in his prime on avg. maybe he could pull 6'6 out of bed back then and an easy 6'7 in cowboy boots. But today he's lucky if he's far over 6'3.

To be fair HHH looks 6'1.5" alot nowadays, he doesn't look as long in the torso anymore.
Austin has admitted himself that he has shrunk over the years because of wrestling and injuries.
Maybe 6ft flat in undercooking him a little but he could be struggling with 6ft 1 today.

@straightahead it's time you come out from your parents basement and join us normal people. I think your lack of sun light and fresh air plus the obvious mental set backs has really taken a tole on you. I honestly believe you say and post ignorant pics as a gag because if you really believe the BS you say you are a few cards short of a full deck.

For some reason, probably due to his fame and what he has done in the industry, I always believed Hogan was 6'7. Now, that I am a bit older and interested in heights, especially with wrestlers, it is clear he was 6'5. Maybe 6.5'5 peak, but never below. Present day he is around the 6'3 range with surgeries and due to old fashioned time. Essentially he lost around half an inch every decade since 1975.

Have fun thinking that. Just know that nobody here or anywhere else agrees with you. Other than ersmith or whatever his name is. Even if you actually think Trump was never above 6'1", Hogan was still 4" taller. By the way, Slaughter was a legit 6'3". He was about an inch taller than 6'2" HHH in the late 90s. Even the pic you posted of him and Warrior shows Slaughter to be taller. Just look at the top of their heads. Not only that, but Slaughter was giving Warrior a bearhug. Every wrestling fan knows that the guy giving the bearhug is going to losing height from doing the move. Yet, Slaughter was STILL taller than Warrior in that shot even though Warrior was standing straight as possible and Slaughter was leaning in with his knees bent.
Funny how they look the same height. There is plenty of footage that proves Vince was at least 6' in his prime. He could even look a solid 6'1" at times.
----
Warrior was most likely TOPS 6'1 1/2 so he could had been like 6'1, and in that video we can see that Vince was still shorter. Slaughter at 6'3 is pure BS, he only had 1 inch on a leaning Austin and he was also only a tad taller than Roddy Piper (who was only a tad taller than Bret) and no, Slaughter was not taller than HHH, in fact he was edged out by HHH.
_______________
You clearly know nothing. That pic of Slaughter and HHH you posted is about as worthless as the Slaughter/Warrior pic you posted. Watch this video and look from 5:15 to 5:20 for a real comparison. I would recommend pausing at 5:18 and also 5:37.
Click Here
Not only does Slaughter look taller, but HHH has a sizable footwear advantage. I know attention to detail isn't your strong suit, but HHH's heels were pretty chunky in that segment whereas Slaughter was wearing flats. Even if they were the same height in that video, Slaughter would still be taller because of HHHs footwear advantage. Bottom line is Slaughter was 6'2.5" at an absolute minimum and probably 6'3".

@straightahead are you serious? I don't lie. I tell the truth good, bad or otherwise. You should seriously consider looking into a mental health evaluation it's pretty clear that you are in very much need of help. Your height judgment is equal to Erik Rosenquist a.k.a er4smiths.

Gene Hackman was actually diescribed as 6ft 4 in news articles back in the 80's. Nonsense ofc but he did look 6ft 2 next to the 6ft 4 Christopher Reeve.
Now even with Reeve being a smidge under 6ft 4 I still wouldn't have said that Hackman was much less than 6ft 2.
Hogan looks like a solid 6ft 5.5" inch there next to him. However in his ring attire he usually had big boots and so probably had a footwear advantage. I think he was more 6ft 5-6ft 5.5" personally rather than pushing 6ft 6.
Now with Big John Studd getting a 6ft 6.5" listing I think Hogan should be downgraded as he was an inch or so shorter.

Gene Hackman looked 6'2 next to WHO?! And, being noticeably taller than Vince McMahon isnt equal with being 6'2. 6'0 tops Bret Hart was taller than Vince... theres zero changes for Hogan to have been 6'6. 6'4 1/2 (195 cm) is the maximum height - on a very good day.

Sgt. slaughter (Robert Remus) was 6'2.5" in his prime (billed 6'4") saw him a few years ago ...summer 2013...he was 6'1" to 6 1.5" n 2013.
Also, those who say 6'1.5" to 6'2" Ultimate Warrior looked taller than or same height as 6'2.5" Slaughter...well, less than 1" separated them anyways ...and never forget...Warrior wore "mild" lifts from 1987-1991 !

A young and healthy (pre-multiple surgeries) towering 6'2" Gene Hackman and 6'2"/6'3" Donald Trump. He was every bit 6'6" at this stage of his life. Today he's the same height as Gene and Donald were in those pics (him next to a legit 6'4" Troy Aikman)
As usually you are making up heights just to fit in your Hogan 6'6 fantasy. Its the same case everytime time - only Hogan can shrink! but you still imagine a 60+ Gene Hackman to be 6'2 (if he ever was), and since was Trump 6'2-6'3?! he didnt even look 6'1 next to Vince McMahon.
_________________
You need to stop trolling bro. Donald Trump was every bit 6'2" in his prime, and was noticeably taller than Vince McMahon. I don't know how tall Gene Hackman was, but every site, including this one, lists him at 6'2". Hogan had at least 4" on him.
Here's a 60+ year old Donald Trump standing straight with 6'0" Vince McMahon:
Click Here
Even in his 60s, he still looked around 6'2" when standing to his full height. Obviously, he would have been taller in his 30s/40s. The average man shrinks .25"-.5" every decade from 40 onward. Trump is 70 now, so he could have easily been 1" taller in the pic with Hogan (26 years ago) than he is now. Those pics prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Hogan was at least 6'5" in his prime and that he could have been 6'6". If you can't accept that, that's your problem.

62B is correct ...they take your shoes & belt & anything else that could be a physical threat to yourself or anyone else when they arrest you & place you into a holding cell. And shortly after that, your are officially booked ...which includes your finger prints & mug shots. At this point you are usually wearing nothing but socks or state issued flip flops. I was once arrested for getting into a huge bar fight with a few of buddies of mine against a bunch of drunken knuckle heads ...all 12 of us got arrested ...this is how they booked us all that might. Different law enforcement centers may have diferent procedure though.

Hulk was never anything above 6'5 in his prime. You could argue maybe 6'5.5 and closing in on 197 at bis peak maybe in the early 80s/late 70s but he himself corrected a reporter once who called him 6'7 and said he's 6'5" and that was in the early 90s. He wore thick boots. No question he's lost height today. Wouldn't surprise me if he can't even pull up beyond 191, 192 if he's lucky

He wore thick boots. No question he's lost height today. Wouldn't surprise me if he can't even pull up beyond 191, 192 if he's lucky

Except Hall's arrest booking from late 90's said 6'5 and that 101% for sure includes footwear, so absolute tops 6'4 barefeet (peak). Nash was listed 6'10 in basketball, so 6'9 or less barefeet. Hogan at 6'7-6'8 peak is pure fantasies, thats a 3-4 inches overexaggerate to say at least.

@RP I'm cool with that 6'5.75 it's very possible. I still think he would hit just over 6'6" out of bed in the 70's and @dicksock i seen that on youtube it does exist but I'm not sure which of the many trial videos that shows it but he does get up and stand by the bailiff when the Judge tells him to to show how Gawker monetarily hurt him because he could no longer wrestle due to his banged up body. Keep looking it's there and Hogan was a inch taller than the 6'3" bailiff both in equal shoes.

Hogan was probably 6'5-6'5.5 peak which would make Studd 6'6.

I just remembered something I read on here a while ago. Which poster claimed there is a video of Hogan talking about his height during the Gawker trial? The claim was that Hogan stood up and compared his height with the bailiff to prove he was 6'4". Am I crazy or does that footage not exist? If it does exist, it would be probably the best evidence to upgrade Hogan's current height.

Graham 6'4" in shoes/wrestling boots. I've come to the conclusion all wrestling heights are measured in footwear and rounded up. So a 6'8" Hogan rounded up from 6'7.25 to 6'7.5" in gear is accurate in the wrestling world. 6'3" warrior or 6'4" Rock or 6'5" Lex Luger or 6'9" Sid Vicious or 6'1" Shawn Michaels or 6'7" Scott Hall or 6'11" Kevin Nash and the list goes on.

Um... He said he lost over two inches of height and is now 6'? That would mean that was over an even 6'2" bro. He always looked around 6'3" or maybe a tad less in his prime. There is no point in examining the Arnold pics. They're really not a good comparison of height. Look at Graham in live interviews with 6'0.5"-6'1" prime Vince McMahon. He always looked at least 2" taller.
Vince was never taller than the 6'0 tops Bret Hart, if any he was a tad shorter...
_______________
I am aware of this. But, Vince's height has always been tough to judge. There are times when he looked taller than Bret as well. Vince could look anywhere from 6' to 6'2" in any given segment. There was an in-ring interview with Vince and Warrior from 1996, and Vince looked equal in height to the 6'1"-6'2" Ultimate Warrior. He could look the same height as 6'1" Steve Austin as well. I don't if he occasionally wore lifts or if the camera angle played a part, but regardless, I can't see Vince as anything less than a solid 6' in his prime during the 1970s.

I can't find the video but it's out there of Hogan and Lou Ferigno from the late 70's on a morning talk show. The guy and girl were interviewing Lou because they were filming in that town.
The guy said we have a Hulk of our own and Hogan came out and introduced himself as Terry Bolder. He towered over Lou when Lou stood up and shook his hand. Hogan had on some silky looking pants on and flip flops with a tiny muscle shirt on. Lou was in jeans and a tank top. Hogan made Lou look small by size not so much muscle definition. His arms and shoulders made Lou's look small. He had a good 3.5" to 4" on him even if Camera angles were giving Hogan that massive boost he still was atleast minimum 3" taller than Lou in high top shoes. A 1977 -79 young Hogan was a huge Man to make a 6'3" to 6'4" man look small. Every angle had Lou's eye level looking at Hogans chin. Maybe some truth to a little taller 6'6" in the a.m.
(Rob give me your opinion before the others either say yes i agree or no he was a comical 6'3.5" prime)

Tyco, Hogan is closer to the camera. On top of that, one can assume Ali's wearing dress shoes (considering his clothes) and chances are Hogan's wearing cowboy boots (like he often did outside the ring). So Hogan might have a double advantage there.

@Big Mike74: of course it's possible but he himself said he was 6'5 in the 90s early 90s when a reporter called him 6'7. Also Bobby3342's father (6'6) met him and said he had him by an inch. Now the 6'6 out of bed may be accurate. But 6'6 out of bed (If flat) would make him 6'5 1/4 maybe 6'5 at night. So in that case he'd be ok at 6'5. That could be an easy inch loss in that profession or he could've been 6'5.5 peak (average height) and gotten down to 6'5 (1/2) later on in life at his lowest.

Maybe 6'2" at 3 in the a.m. but mid to evening still hitting that mark. Look up the photo with him and Arnold he had 2" on him and ole Arnold was a 6'1 to 6'1.5" guy then.

Bigmike74...Wayne Coleman aka Superstar Billy Graham was only 6'2" peak (barefoot) in his prime. He's shrunk a lot too, last time I saw him, he was BARELY scrapping 6'0"...I'm 5'11" & he was marginally taller than me. At bet best 6'0" now...but, his peak barefoot height was 6'2"...he's even admitted this himself before in shoot interviews.

Can't see Hogan taller than studd in the vid.
High camera and studd moving around, Studd in cowboyboots was visible taller than Hulk in cowboyboots.
Nice vid but without both standing straight face to face, no chance to tell the actual gap.
Imo Studd was somewhere between 2and 4cm taller than Hogan. Not quite as tall as Sid Eudy but closer to Sid than Hogan.
______________
You may be correct. Studd may have been about 1" taller than Hogan. However, there are some good points from 3:59-4:08 to compare their heights. What I find interesting is that even when Studd was standing pretty straight, only a few feet from Hogan, he looked several inches shorter. I just can't imagine Studd looking taller in that situation if they went face to face. It would be one thing if they looked the same height there, but Hogan looked several inches taller the whole time. Studd certainly did not look more than 5" taller than the 6'0-6'1" Roddy Piper, who was wearing flat heeled shoes. Studd never looked taller than the ~6'6" One Man Gang either. I think it is possible that Studd was no more than 6'6" legit and could look 6'7" depending on his lift situation.

Whoa! Hogan & Studd exact same height in that video! Guess that confirms that Studd would occasionally wear 1.5" lifts??? I would say it's Hogan in lifts...but, Stuff with Mean Gene looked a tad shorter than he normally did with Gend in other mid-1980's interviews?? Also, Roddy Pipper only looked about a 1/2" shorter than David Schultz who many claimed to be 6'3.5 to 6'4". Today's lesson...never trust any pro wrestlers footwear at anytime.

probably camera angle studd was 6'7, plus studd stands with his legs apart studd was defenitey taller than hogan so hopefully this doesnt start a debate because theres just no need hogan 6'5..5 or 6" studd was taller good video all the same.

@6'2 agreed no way 6'5". Maybe in thick shoes he can hit 6'5" but not barefoot that ship has sailed for him. 6'4" morning and 6'3.5" mid to evening height no lower though it's just not possible knowing my height barefoot.

doubt hes 6'5 today id say peak close to 6'6, so 6'3 nowadays would be quite accurate, again his posture is not as good 30 years ago so could possibly stretch to 6'4

Marlon Wayans is listed as 6ft 0.5in on here and most people agree he's around 6 feet.
Now Google him and Hulk Hogan and looks at the pics of them standing side by side.
Sorry guys, but a 6'3-6'4.5" man stands much taller than that against a 6 footer.
I am looking forward to the attempted excuses.

@RP makes sense. I met him mid morning around 9:30 - 10:00. With my shoes (trainers) on I'm right on that fine line between 6'3.9" and 6'4" roughly 1.2" increase. He was in similar shoes not the jordans he wears on TV but trainers right off memory i don't know brand and he was atleast 1" to 1.2" taller than me when my brother asked him to stand straight for pics. I wouldn't go lower that 6'3.75" barefoot with a slight bend but morning erect and hasn't been on his feet 6'4" totally but no more barefoot. I honestly wouldn't be suprised if he would hit 6'4.25" to 6'4.5" right out of bed. I would agree as i have said before 6'3.5" evening and midday after lifting or moving around alot but standing totally erect i still say he would hit right around the 6'4" mark but as the day wound down he would have to force that mark.

6'3" looks reliable. Not nonsense at all. He is a solid inch under hasselhoff and he didnt look more than 3 inches taller than the 6 foot guy who posted here a while back.
He also held his own with Randy Orton but he had more footwear.

Anything under 6'11" peak Andre is complete rubbish ! Peak Andre was anywhere from 6'11" to 7'0.25" peak height! Pin pointing exactly where between 6'11" & 7'0.25" is the issue tho, due to his posture.

@Rob when are you gonna upgrade his current height? You have DDP @6'4" and Hasselhoff @6'4" and Hogan is the same height as both those guys.
Also you have the Rock @6'3" and Hogan is taller than him to this day with bad posture. Austin is minimum 6'2" in shoes and pics of them together show Hogan 3" taller. Can he get upgraded? The man is not as low as 6'3" even with bad posture. Same height as snoop and Billy Gunn again both 6'4" guys.

197,5 right out of bed. then after 1 hour ore so i go down to 197 and some Days if i dont do anything Heavy just sit infront the computer i can still be 197 in the evening. And if i work the whole day( i have kind of a fysical job) and then go to the gym, then i be 196,5. I giuss if i would do deadlift with 400 Pounds 20 set, then i maybe be 196,3 but overall i loose just about 1 cm from first minute i Wake to the time i go to bed. But as i said Before i Think thats because i have strong back muscles. Dont know what i deadlift but i have benched 202,5 kg wheni was at my strongest. So i guess a guy like John cena doenst loose more than 1 cm at most because he is mutch stronger than me.

@Berta: is 197.5 out of bed or is that like first hour? Youre right. You don't lose much considering 6'5 3/8 after lifting from maybe 6'5 3/4 morning. I lose 3/4 regularly even if I don't lift (196 out of bed/194.2-3 at night) and can get down a hair under the 194 mark if I lift even if hydrated. I've seen 6'4 flat (maybe a mm over) as an experiment once but because I stood for hours and wasn't well hydrated

Khali during his run in Japan was listed 7'7 so that's at least a 6 inch markup
Hogan in 1993 was getting listed at 6'7 by WWE because I have official wwe trading cards from that year with that listing. He was also listed 6'6 before his big megapush in 1984 outside WWE so that rules out any chance he ever stood 6'7 unless you think promoters underbilled him..

So Andre who was at one time a legit 7'2-3" guy gets billed at 7'4-5", Hogan a legit 6'7" guy gets billed between 6'8-9" consistently by the WWF until he went to WCW.
The Height difference between the Andre I ran into in 1988 and the 7'2" guy I stood next to was to great for me to believe Andre was ever that tall. Its really hard to convey just how large of a man Andre was. Terri Todd probably said it best when he described him as looking inhuman, but I don't think he was ever over 7' , and Hogan who stood right next to my 6'4 1/2" or so Grandfather in 1980 was not 2 1/2" taller. At best he had my Grandfather by an inch. Hogan may have been 6'7" in cowboy boots, but not barefoot.

As RP pointed out, when athletes come from pro organizations where their height is already known the WWF could not inflate them. Otherwise they would have listed Ladd at 7 feet tall or 6'11" anyway. They always pushed up most wrestlers to 1-2 inches taller if they were already tall guys, greater the height the more exaggerated you can be. So Andre who was at one time a legit 7'2-3" guy gets billed at 7'4-5", Hogan a legit 6'7" guy gets billed between 6'8-9" consistently by the WWF until he went to WCW. By the time the 90's had come around too many stars and athletes were involved and they could no longer get away with the inflated heights like before. Undertaker a legit 6'8 plus guy gets billed at 6'10" and Kane who was around the same height gets padded boots and 7 foot listing. Just like Big Show got billed at 7'4" in WCW, Internet took care of getting away with that so he got listed at his true height of 7' tall in WWE. Guys do not get inflated by 4 or 5 inches, it's impossible to get away with and pointless. Hogan was 6'7" and nothing proves otherwise, he now stands at 6'4" at his best with poor posture almost all the time because of his hips and knees. There are things I always got a kick out of like how they announced Taker at 328lbs yet you could clearly see Hogan was bigger everywhere and only 1-2 inches shorter at most, yet he always was announced at 302lbs lol.

Just look at the still photos from the brawl that broke out in the RIders Chiefs game that one year...google Ernie Ladd-Ben Davidson-Raiders/Chiefs brawl...Ben got in Ernie's face...Ernie had him by a strong solid inch!
That would be a funny picture, considering that brawl you're referring to happened during the 1970 NFL-season. Several years after Ernie Ladd was officially retired and therefore wasn't even part of that match. I did the google search and found no pic of Ladd & Davidson. Please post that picture here then, if you claim you've seen one.
If Davidson hated the Chiefs and wanted to dish Ernie Ladd by downplaying his size, why didn't he do the same with Morris Stroud, who also played for the Chiefs?

Ladd was taller than Davidson, and Davidson was a legit 6'8" Man. So 6'9" was dead on for Ladd just look at older pictures of Ladd's Football career. Super big guy.

Straightahead, due to Ernie Ladd being a very popular football player for well over a decade...and being always listed as the tallest pro football player for years all over the media...all the sports world & fans knew Ladd was 6'9"!! Therefor...pro wrestling had to stick with his 6'9" billing. Same reason WCW announced Karl Malone @ 6'9"...they couldn't just go bill him at 6'11" !! All the world already knew he was 6'9"...same thing with Ernie Ladd!

Ernie barefoot 6'8.5"
Studd 6'7" and later in his career after he ballooned well above 350 ...6'6.5" to 6.6.75"
Mickey Rourk referred to John Switton aka Big John Studd as 6'8" & 370 lbs several years ago in an interview when describing their fight scene in Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man. It was filmed around 1989-1990, I do believe??

Here is a better shot of Ernie Ladd and Studd. The interview Studd is clearly closer to the camera and Studd has a footware and posture advantage on Ladd. When Ladd straightens his posture here he is clearly a couple inches taller than Studd even with Studd's footware advantage.
_______________
ladd has a big camera angle advantage there
the person closest the camera always appears shorter when the camera is high above subjects..hence why kane looks 6+ inches taller than big show Click Here

Thanks RP for the only reasonable and intelligent reply to my post about Studd and Ladd. I'm going to give the link to Ladd's NFL player profile, he was 6'9", can't find 6'6 or 6'7" anywhere for him so not sure how that becomes FACT LOL. Studd in equal gear, posture, angle, distance etc was no more than one inch shorter than Ladd and that much is FACT lol.

So Rude estimates Hulk at 6'5 range doesn't mean he is right on. There was also the story in the book Sex, Lies and Headlocks that Hulk was 6'5 and when he first met McMahon he gave him a 1000 sequence robe and a pair of boots with lifts inside so they could bill him as 6'8. Either way he would still appear 6'6 range in comparisons.

Ladd was 6´7", a tad or two taller than Studd FACT.
Hogan at his peak was a solid 6´5"-6´5.5" guy, described at this height by a lot of guys that actually worked with him.
Peak Andre was 5.5"-6" taller than Hogan.
Rob,whats your height for peak Big John Studd?

Interesting Sid eudy didn't make the 13 tallest wrestlers of all time list. Him and hogan were both well over average sized for a WWE wrestler but I think you have to be 6'7 minimum to be considered a legit tall guy in the WWE world.

Had a magazine from Japan from the early 90s with a Rick Rude interview in it,he stated WWF billed him at 6-4" and he said he was just over 6-2". Also said it was common practice to bull **** heights.Warrior was billed at 6-4 but he said warrior was shorter than him!! Hogan was never 6-7 he said. 6-5" maybe flat.
That's nice to know!

I mentioned it before, I used to be 6' 4.5", and wish I still was. Met Hogan only 1 time in my life, that was back in my own height prime in 1977. At that time, I have no doubt he was 6'7". One thing else about Hogan, he has enormous hands.

Peak Studd was well over 6'8", Fralic stood on his toes to get up to his eyes, and Studd was slouching, so enough of the 6'7" bull for him. He was almost even with Erie Ladd when they were both at their best heights and Ernie was a legit 6'9" plus barefoot guy. And if Bill Anderson was around 6'1", what are you trying to prove? Hogan was still way over half a foot taller in their pictures together.

Never met JYD or Studd but in there matches there is not 2" between he and Hogan maybe 1" at best. There are pictures out there and matches on youtube that show good comparison shots and for sure in any of those shots they look to close to judge but giving the Benifit of the doubt because i have not personally seen Studd i will give him a inch but anything more is absurd. 6'6" Prime Hogan for the million time.

Always visible shorter than 6´1" range guys like Vince, Warrior, Roddy Piper.
Clear 4 inches shorter than 6´4" Warlord.
OJ Simpson is slouching as hell, how comes you make up storys about Vince wearing lifts and not mentioning this???
Guess Warlord, Warrior, Roddy were in the same lifts too, 6´1.5"-6´2"Sting of course was in lifts b/c he was clearly taller loooool
Bill at his peak was a solid 6-footer , 6´1"-6´1.5" in footwear.

If Anderson is 6'2 and we take that photo of him and Hogan at face value then Hogan was basically 6'8 and big show was best part of 7'2 comparing him to anderson..so wwe didn't over overbill either!
Funny Anderson looks around my height standing next to big show.

Yep, Boss is correct...Vince is perfectly erect & intentially trying to look his tallest. Bill is relaxed, slouched a bit & he has a noticeably bent knee as well. Vince's 1.25" advantage here quickly disappears to nothing or 0.25" if Bill stands as straight & erect as Vince. Plus, never trust Vince McMahon's footwear !!

Vince does have Bill by an inch +...however, Vince was long rumored to be a lift wearer as well ??? So, who knows. IMO...the best proof is Bill having 1.25" on a "known' & officially meaured 6'1" man in OJ Simpson. Giving, OJ was not in his prime anymore...and not is full 6'1" to 6'1.25" peak anymore...but, most likely had only list a 0.5" at that time ??

This is the best to get Bill´s real height imo. Looks a solid inch or a bit more shorter than 6´1.5" max VKMcM.
So Bill comes out a solid 6footer.

Thank you, Boss! Exactly! Plus, it is well known that Sting wore very thick soled wrestling boots. Giving him about a 0.5" footwear advantage over most guys. Steve aka Sting, has claimed many times that his real height is 6'2"...like I said before...Bill was at a minimum of 6'1.5" at his peak...most likely 6'1.75" to a weak 6'2"! BTW...JT, a 6'0" Bill Anderson gives you a 6'2" to 6'2.5" Bruiser Brody...LOL!!!!! And Yes!! OJ Simpsin was a legit 6'1" to 6'1.5" plus in his prime...probably a weak 6'1" to 6'0.75" at the time the pic with Bill was taken. Age and the NFL beatings did cost OJ a good inch in height be his 50's.
