Funny thing Vegas, i checked and Wikapedia which finds and bases it's data on things like facts and not speculation have Kurt Fuller at 6'5" tall! So Hogan having him by 3 inches in cowboy boots would make him 6'7", wow go figure! And by facts i mean they get it fromk things like driver licenses where you get measured barefoot.

Take off the hat and they are the same height.

No they're not, Barry is clearly taller than Studd. Studd's poofy hair doesn't count either. Just look at their eye-levels. Studd's eyelevel is an inch below Barry's. Click Here

Hulk Hogan nephew Horus was built at 6'3". Hulk was just a tad taller. So given that Hulk Hogan would have been 6'4" in his WCW days . When he went up against Kevin Nash there he only appeared to be three inches shorter . But take a look at his boots they appear to be puffed up around the ankle area. Which indicates he's probably wearing shoe lifts. He probably realized at that point that the crowd simply wasn't buying he was 6'7".

Hogan and Roger Staubach from 1984 and a more recent Staubach with Troy Aikman. Click Here Staubach had 6’2” and 6’3” listings but was usually listed at 6’3” in the NFL. Hogan’s footwear is the big unknown.

Here's a pic of John Studd next to NBA's Rick Barry. Barry was listed at 6'7"
Click Here

Roel, that pic is from a 1988 celebrity harness racing event hosted by author George Plimpton (so Barry is 44 and Studd 40).

I watched Barry play b-ball on TV back in the 1970s. He was always referred to as 6’7” Barry and 6’10” George Mikan, who of course is the same height as The Giant Studd.... Click Here (~2 degree camera tilt in favor of Mikan).

Studd reportedly played in a few celebrity golf tournaments with Kevin McHale and Michael Jordan. Assuming they exist, pics from those events would probably prove quite revealing as well.

Hogan's father was 5'11" and his mother was a larger taller woman as well, where do you get 5'8" for his Dad?? Both of his brothers were over 6'6", that didn't come from small parents.

Incredible how you are just making up these figures. SHOW US the proof to back up your claims.

Gotta go a max 6'6.75" on Studd! John Studd 6'6.75" & Hogan in his physical prime 6.5.5"

@roelc Rick barry played during a time when NBA players were all listed by their sock height's. So he'd be a legit 6'7".

Savage was over 6'1" and you can verify that from his baseball stats, Studd was 6'9" and so was Sid. Poor examples to use, the only site that lists these men at the lower heights out of the hundreds is this one lol

Savage was 5'11".

I ran into Randy Savage and Sting at a gym in Bloomington, MN back around 1995 or 1996. I'm 5'10", and to be honest, I thought he looked like he could have been an inch or so shorter than me, even. Not as big as I was expecting. Didn't even recognize Sting out of his makeup. "Who was that guy w/ Randy Savage?" "Duh, that was Sting." My estimates were 5'9"-5'10", 205bs for Savage, 6'3" or 6'4", 240lbs for Sting.
miko said on 29/Aug/12
I just can't buy Hulk at anything over 6'5/6.5.5 at his tallest. Studd was barely over 6'6 and looked to have an inch on the guy, Sid and Taker both had an easy 2 inches on him and they were never over 6'7. He never had the full head required on Mene Gene either. Don't get me wrong I really like Hogan, but I'm not buying him being closer to 7 foot than 6.

He's still 6'4 today though after his recent back surgeries which have corrected his spine. He has 2' on Sting, and is barely shorter than 6'5 Abyss.

Great find. It shows that Studd really was about 6'7".
Stone said on 29/Aug/12
no matter which way you cut it Sid is a larger man than Hulk Hogan . At 6'7" his father was approximately 2 inches taller. Then mean Gene who at the very best is 5'8" Hulk Hogan was approximately 7 inches taller than his father. Which once again brings us right back to 6'5". There is absolutely no way on gods green earth that Hulk Hogan was ever any more at least not barefoot .

Hogan with his parents in the early 1980s. Click Here Hogan’s parents were no more than Mean Gene’s height (~ 5’8"). Click Here I’m sure that’s exactly how a 6’8” (or 6’7” or 6’6”) NBA player would have looked standing next to his folks....
Stone said on 28/Aug/12
well Ronster . The facts are simply the facts Hulk Hogan stood 6'5" 295 pounds just look at the picture that Vegas has posted each and every time Hulk Hogan has come up against anybody who is a legitimate 6'7" He's come up with the short end of the stick by an absolute minimum of 1.5 inches . Not only that he simply doesn't have the frame of a big John Studd or Sid. sure his arms were at least 22 inches in diameter if not more . His matches with wrestlers such as Randy Savage who was billed at 6'2" in reality is only 5'11" so of course going by that allusion Hulk Hogan would have been 6'8" I don't think many people realize just how massive 295 pounds of solid muscle on a 6'5" frame would be.
Ronster said on 27/Aug/12
Stone, you just showed that you do not read well! You go on to say I said he was 6'9" ad 340lbs, I said he was billed at 6'9" and stood that tall in his boots, and yes he was intue 330-340lb range in the 70's into the early 80's and anyone can see that looking at pics of him with Freddie Blassie! His legs were huge and noticeably larger than even in te late eighties. Stop trying to confuse or manipulate my posts to try and legitify your baseless crap!
JT said on 27/Aug/12
Doesn’t even look 6’5” here although I’ll give him at least that for peak height. Click Here Click Here

Click Here Masked Superstar is no more than 6’1”, Atlas 6’2” and Sheik 5’11” and Hogan’s closer to the camera than at least Atlas and Sheik.

Hogan in cowboy boots from 1989 with 6’3” (per Rob) Kurt Fuller Click Here

This gives a rough idea how a peak Hogan and Taker would have measured up Click Here

Gorilla Monsoon was no 6’6” either. He looked in the 6’3” range in the mid to late 1980s (around age 50) and was probably a little taller in his younger days. Dave Winfield here Click Here was listed at 6’6” in baseball but looked around 6’5” with ~ 6’7.5” Magic Johnson

Go to the impact wrestling web site and look at the photo of Stinger ad Hogan standing side by side, you can see both footwear which is equal and stance which shows Hogan even bending and leaning slightly. Hogan has minimum 3-4 inches on the 6'3"( I know you all say he's 6'2") Sting. Forget all your rent a center ads, Spivey or Sid BS and explain how Hogan after loosing at least 2 inches of height still stands at least 6'5" which this picture clearly shows and somehow you claim he was never more than 6'5"??? You Stone an others are living in a dream world, of course now you will all gang up on Sting and say he must only be 6' max now!!! LMFAO
Stone said on 27/Aug/12
Ronster you're living in a little dream world first of all. Who ever listed Hulk Hogan at 6'6". Was the most closest to being correct Zeus was actually slightly larger than Hulk Hogan in the muscle department . Now as far as the heights as the others you mentioned the undertaker was 6 feet 7 1/2 inches in his prime Sid was 6'7" in his prime and Kevin Nash was 6'9" in his prime for you to be saying Hulk Hogan was 6'9" 340 pounds IS SIMPLY RIDICULOUS!
Ronster said on 26/Aug/12
Duhon says; Hogan being listed at 6'6" on this likely early 80's wrestling poster with andre. That poster, and it's the only one with him listed at 6'6" has been used by all the doubters and haters on here forever. It is just a poster, obviously the person who made it made a mistake which does happen! I see they got his weight right though at 330lbs. For that one and only poster there are 1000 others that have him anywhere from 6'7" to 6'9", and by far most until he went to WCW had him at 6'8" tall. Another fact, look at any picture or video of Sid Eugey and Undertaker or Nash when he was diesel and Sid is equal in height to the undisputed 6'9" minimum Taker and within 2 inches of the 6'11" Nash. So all the 6'7" or lower claims for him are totally proven wrong right there. As for Sid's height today i am not sure, he is over 50 and tall men especially one's nearly 7' like him do loose at least an inch by their 50's to 60's but he was undoubtebly 6'9" or just a hair under in his prime when he faced Hogan and the other big guys.
Ronster said on 26/Aug/12
Hogan was billed at 158KG in England in a match he hyad where Miss Elizabeth was his manager. Do the math folks, thats just over 347lbs! Hogan dwarfed 6'3-6'5 men who weighed 250-300lbs in the 70's and 80's when he was still on the juice. His arms were measured in his early days at 26", and he was commonly referred to as 340lbs back then. Look at pictures of him with Tony Lister (Zues) and see how he was bigger in mass than Lister by a bit who was a legit 300lb man, and who wore huge lifts in his boots with thicker heels to get him an extra 3-4 inches so he would look slightly taller than Hogan at the time - Lister was 6'5" and Hogan 6'7" and they had to make him look bigger than Hogan if possible, Mcmahon said it in an interview i watched years ago.
Stone said on 26/Aug/12
I have been in obsessive wrestling fan since 1983. Which was the first time I saw him although I was just a little kid. My cousin who is 6'2" always used to be able to obtain, front row seats. He had been a Hulk Hogan fan since the first day he was made public. And each and every time he told me he stood 6'5" . When I seen him in his absolute prime he was 6'5" 295 pounds there is a possibility at times he was 6 feet 5 1/2 inch depending on his footwear BAREFOOT Hulk Hogan wasn't the thickness of a hair over 6'5

I saw that video several months ago, Scott Hall was simply going with the build hight of Hulk Hogan at the time which was 6'8" 303 pounds and the ultimate warrior is 6 feet 1 1/2 inches.

____________________

No he wasn't. He and Hogan worked together closely for years in WWF, WCW, WWF (early 2000s) and TNA. Why would he be going off the billing of a man who he knows so well? Plus, he claimed Hogan was 320lbs-330lbs in that video. That wasn't his billing in 1990. Warrior was billed at 6'3" in the WWF and that's the height he claims for himself. Lastly, there is no way Hogan lost an inch of height by 1992. He was 37 years old and had no serious injuries that would've caused him to shrink. He was still a very solid 6'5" by 1992.

For the young "kids" on here who obviously never really watched wrestling in the eighties when Hogan was over 6'7" tall and well over 300lbs i will enlighten you. Gorilla Monsoon who was a legit 6'6" man was 2-3" shorter than Hogan in every interview they did and he referred to Hogan as 6'9" tall consistently throughout the years of Hulkamania, that is why Nash thought Hogan was 6'9", where he getas 6'4" is beyond me, he was 6'11" in WCW days and hogan was within 4 inches of him easily. Scott Hall said in a shoot interview when they came back to the WWE in 2001 that Hogan was 6'6" so there goes any reliability in what these guys say. Until one of you doubters gets Hogan himself and a tape measure nothing you say to try and belittle his height and until you get him on a scale his weight will ever be believable. Hogan dwarfed 250-300lb and 6'3-6'5" men all the time in his prime in and outside of the ring, so how anyone can even say with a straight face let alone expect to be taken seriously when they try and say he was never over 6'5" or 295lbs is beyond me. I guess a lot of you are like some kids, you think if you just keep saying it long enough people will believe it LOL.

And then there are people like you, who want their idols to be larger than life and even exagerrate their already exagerrated physical stats. You claim Hogan was 6'8", 340lbs, even though he got 6'6" and 6'7" billings in the late 70's and never has he been billed as high as 340lbs in his entire career.

Oh YES HE HAS. He has been billed at 339 pounds in other promotions in his earlier days, as well as many 305, 310, 320, 325 and 330 pounds billings.

He was never billed at 6'9" and they never said he was 6'11 3/4" in Rocky III. They said "at almost 7'0" tall".

...I really don't know what to say about this guy. If he really did start out at 6'7, man...he's lost alot of height because he looks nowhere near that, at least not for decades. All I know is, younger fans of wrestling may be used to all the gimmicks and intros now...but nobody has ever rocked the house like Hogan did, when he'd come out back in the mid to late 80's. Love him or hate him, at his peak, he got crowds going like no one has ever done before or since. In fact, I actually laugh out loud when I see guys like Cena come out with that ridiculous music...saluting, doing that frantic little "you can't see me" gesture and stomping in dressed like some insecure kid from the ghetto trying to be cool. Sure, Hogan became a caricature. But in those peak years, he ran the show like no one else.

It's sad that so many people on this site use height cutting as a way to get back at tall/big guys they hated in highschool. I've read height cutters on here claim that Jorge Gonzalez was 7'5" when he was measured at 7'7 1/4" by the Guiness Book of World Records in 2000. I went to my library to verify it to myself. There are people on here that claim that Shaq was 6'10" peak when he was measured at 7'1" BAREFOOT in pre draft measurement. Guiness would have measured him @ 7'1 2/3" because they do it after a good night sleep.

And then there are people like you, who want their idols to be larger than life and even exagerrate their already exagerrated physical stats. You claim Hogan was 6'8", 340lbs, even though he got 6'6" and 6'7" billings in the late 70's and never has he been billed as high as 340lbs in his entire career. Even the pic you posted that should proof Hogan was this 6'8", 340lbs Mountain of a Man, was from a match where he was billed 295lbs in a promotion that billed him as 6'7".

And why don't you go back to your library and make a copy of Jorge Gonzalez 7'7 1/4" listing in Guinness, as for 6 years I've been waiting for someone to post that proof. I have a copy of Gonzalez listing in a Dutch Guinness Book of Records from the late 90's and they list him as 229cm.

Sid was 6'7" and he had an absolute minimum of 2 inches possibly 2 1/2 inches on Hulk Hogan in 1992 at wrestlemania8 although I do believe Hulk Hogan had shrunk about an inch by 1992 if this match had happened in 1987 rather than 1992 Sid will probably edged Hulk Hogan out by 1 1/2 inch. Since Sid boots are slightly thicker than Hulk Hogans

Sid Eugey's son who is on big brother stated while talking to one of the other contestants stated his Dad is 6'9", which is what he was commonly listed at and clearly stood as he equalled the Undertaker in height when they squared off in the 90's.

__________

A mugshot of Sid from the mid 2000s that was recently posted proved that Sid is currently 6'6" barefoot. That is a fact. He was billed at 6'7" in WCW and other companies. That is a fact. Sid was never over 6'7" and was clearly taller than Hogan by at least an inch. So you are the one denying the truth. It's obvious that Hogan was a solid 6'5", like 6'5.5" and Sid was ~6'7" in his prime.

….I've actually been told by my friend B.Duncan who works with WWE medical & nutrition dept in Tampa, FL since 2004. And he said that Terry's is actually almost a full inch taller on one leg than the other now due to the hip replacement & later on scar tissue removals. He claims Terry "Hulk" is about 6'4.5" on his good leg/hip. And just a little over 6'3" on the bad leg/hip. And I believe this after whatching Hogan closely over the past couple years. He looks barely 6'3" when leaning on that bad hip...but, when he shifts his weight to his good leg/hip & stands completely straight, he looks well over 6'4" & looks as tall as the 6'5" guys in the biz & other celebs

Sorry, not buying it. Click Here Click Here The hip prosthetic is carefully measured so the patient does not end up with a leg length discrepancy. If Hogan’s affected leg ended up that much shorter, he would have sued his orthopedic surgeon for malpractice and he definitely would not be wearing flip-flops. Even if you want to believe this story, Hogan would have shoes with a special insert or an extra large sole so as to equate the leg length or he would have already undergone a revision surgery to correct the discrepancy. If you want to know what someone with a one inch leg length discrepancy would actually look like, try walking around with a dress shoe on one foot only and see how long you last.

Henry points out the obvious truth easily again, how do you explain away all the pictutres of Hogan from the 80's having 4-5 inches on Douglas, 6 inches on Ali, so on and so forth Vegas? As for Hogan being 6'3" at 17, he easily could grow another 4-5 inches in the next 4 years. Medical fact; humans contuinue to grow into their early 20's and he obviously had another spurt. Teens of all different ages grow 3-6 inches or more sometimes in a single year! So enough estimates Stone, Hogan was over 6'7", dropped down between 6'4-5" and is now a little over 6'5" after his latest corrective back surgery. It is easy to sit around now that he really is 6'5" and say he was never any taller without a shred of proof, all the pictures which outnumber the davidson one's 100-1 show how he clearly was 6'7" minimum before the bumps took their toll on his back, hips and legs. Every reliable and unbiased source including google on the internet list his height at 6'7", only here does this site's administrator try and lower practically every single celebrities height by anywhere from 2-4 inches. Hulk Hogan a giant of a man!
Trash!!! . There is no way he could have grown any more than 2 inches if he was only 6'3" at the age of 17 Hulk Hogan stood 6'5" in his prime. Which should be good enough for anybody . I've seen him several times during the 1980s and I can tell you for a fact he stood no more than 6'5" .
RP said on 17/Aug/12
Terry has an August birthday. Meaning, he was 16 his entire JR of HS...17 his entire SR year. And would have turned 18 about two months after June graduation. So, very believable Terry went from 6'3" at 16 to a weak 6'6" or 6'5.5" at 18. It's rare... But does happen more often then you think. My cousin Seth was only 5'7" at 16 and he shot up to 5'9" by the time he was 18. And actually keep growing til about 19. He topped out at 5'10" by age 20. We had a few guys in HS who grew 2-3 inches from age 16-18.

Studd was not 2" taller than Hogan. He was 1" taller at best.------------so basically we have established that Hulk Hogan in his prime was either 6'5" 6 feet 5 1/2 inch or a maximum 6'6" these estimates are basically the same so case closed

As for Hogan being 6'3" at 17, he easily could grow another 4-5 inches in the next 4 years. Medical fact; humans contuinue to grow into their early 20's and he obviously had another spurt. Teens of all different ages grow 3-6 inches or more sometimes in a single year! So enough estimates Stone, Hogan was over 6'7", dropped down between 6'4-5" and is now a little over 6'5" after his latest corrective back surgery. It is easy to sit around now that he really is 6'5" and say he was never any taller without a shred of proof, all the pictures which outnumber the davidson one's 100-1 show how he clearly was 6'7" minimum before the bumps took their toll on his back, hips and legs. Every reliable and unbiased source including google on the internet list his height at 6'7", only here does this site's administrator try and lower practically every single celebrities height by anywhere from 2-4 inches. Hulk Hogan a giant of a man!

OK if Hulk Hogan was only 6'3" at 17 there's no way in hell he was ever any more than 6'5" which was my original estimate. And quite frankly the right estimate. Big John stud was 6'7" and he had 2 inches on Hulk Hogan Sid is 6'7" and he also had a minimum of 2 inches on him the truth is clearer than ever Hulk Hogan was 6'5" TOPS!!!!!

Studd was not 2" taller than Hogan. He was 1" taller at best.

The man was a beast, he was for sure 6'5.5 or even 6'6 at his peak.
In 2006 however, he was already an hair shorter than David Hasselhoff (who is 193cm).

Looks 6'3 today, maybe 192cm if he's lucky, he seriously lost a lot of height.

He sure did. Not over a flat 6'3" though today. Was barely taller than the Rock who we have at 6'2.5" and that was 10 years ago!! 3" height loss since 1990...

Nice story RP, having a shorter leg could be a reason for Hogans suspect footwear in the ring over the last years - but who knows...

Hogans evening peak was 6´5" flat imo, he was a little bit shorter than 6´5.75" John Tenta - don´t care about the biased comparisons showing Hogan taller.
6´3" at his lowest today

I don´t think Hillbilly Jim was a legit 6´5" regarding evening height- more like 6´4.25"-6´4.5" - He cared always about looking as tall as possible.

Whatever Hillbilly was, Hogan had 1" on him. Fast forward to the early 2000's, we have proof that Hillbilly had 2" on Hogan (the pics are for all to see on Hibilly's site) and that was before Hogan's multiple and hip replacements. We also have a pic of Hillbilly and John Tenta side by side (also on Hilbilly's site), where Hillbilly edges John out. We never did see a 1980 Hogan fight John Tenta, did we?

Hulk Hogan was never anymore then 6'5

He had 1" on 6'5"+ Hilbilly Jim. Was 2" shorter than 6'8" Ben Davidson (exact same footwear). Had 4" on 6'2" Ed Leslie.

_________________

So Leslie and Vince McMahon were both 6'2"? This video proves that Vince was a couple inches shorter than Leslie. It's obvious.

Click Here

Pause at 3:02

Pause at 4:06 and see Vince standing with reaching for the stars posture and Beefcake has his head tilted down looking DOWN at Vince. Guess that's because they're the same height...

Pause at 4:39 for the ultimate proof that Leslie was about 2" taller than your supposedly 6'2" Vince McMahon.

Let me repeat that both men had virtually the same footware and yet Beefcake was clearly a few inches taller. My personal opinion is that Vince was 6'1" at the most and Beefcake was ~6'3". But this video should show that you can't have it both ways. You can't have McMahon and Beefcake both at 6'2". It's ridiculous.

He even had 3" on 6'3" Lex Luger who was wearing cowboy boots on and this was 1995 (past Hogan's prime) and the list goes on and on. He was every bit 6'6" up until 1990 or so.

All o the posters on here who claim with no proo or even a reasonable argument that Hogan was never over 6'6" and is not over 6'4" now are the same people who try and lower every other tall celebrities heights on this site. What amuses me most is how they all gang up on anyone who writes or posts photos that clearly show the truth, Hogan was well over 6'7" barefoot until he was around 40-45. There are 10 photos clearly showing how he was consistently 4-6" taller than 6'3 plus men, and all you can do then is claim he had lits on or you then start trying to lower the height o the person he was with LOL. His wrestling boots were no better than any pair of sneakers for added height and he was then over 6'9" with those on. A true giant of a man who has lost 2-3 inches o height and now ater some corrective surgeries is standing 6'5". As or the Aikman pics, anyone with a working set of eyes and no bias can see that Troy stands straight as an arrow while Hogan is always leaning to his one side due to a bad hip and has his knees bent slightly at all times, this along with the fact that Troy wears big thick soled sneakers which give him a bit more than Hogan's shoes would. And Aikman has lost no height, he is a solid 6'4.5" man. There are a few scenes where i you watch Hogan straightens up and has an inch on Troy, but the nay sayers will never admit to that!

Oh brother...here we go again.. Henry, wrestlers are not their billed heights. Hogan was never over 6'6" barefoot (maybe first thing in the morning). If he was a legit 6'8" barefoot, he would have had at least 1" on 6'7" (max) Big John Studd and he didn't. Studd actually slightly edged him out and that was PEAK Hogan.

Known Terry (Hulk Hogan) for about 35yrs and he was every bit of 6'7". He had a Lincoln Town car that he had to customize to get the seat to go back an extra foot or so. The seat actually laid-up against the back seat. I haven't seen him, in person, in years now and I had no idea he shrunk to such a extent. I wish him well.because the wrestlers around here (which are many) are dying at too fast a rate. They were tough on themselves.

You might be right about Hogan being shorter than Aikman. I would love to see them in a staredown. I bet they would be eye to eye if Hogan stood as absolutely straight as he can. The bottom line is, Hogan at your 6'2.5" is too low. That would put Bobby Roode at ~5'9.5".Hogan was actually about 5" taller. I'm pretty sure Aikman was measured at 6'4.25" in his prime. I doubt he's under 6'4" now. The shortest I would give Hogan is 6'3.5".

As for VM having been 6'2" in his prime...no way Jose. I could go ahead and re-post a mountain of evidence to prove this, but I really don't feel like it.

We all know Hulk is such a humble guy... Mean Gene, Jim Ross, and Eric Bischoff claim him to be this height 6'7". He was billed as low as 6'6" in his prime and was clearly at least 1" shorter than 6'7" billed Sid Justice. He was several inches shorter than legit 6'8" Ben Davidson.

Hulk is one of those weird ones to place his height accurately both during his prime and now. The problem is that he rarely, especially today, stands straight. He's always has bent knees and hips, neck slightly forward, slouching even. On the rare occasion that he does stand straight, it's obvious how tall the man truly is, such as during matches while in his prime he would stand completely straight, point a finger at his opponent, it was then that it was best to estimate his peak height. As for today, His height varies between just under 6'4" to 6'5" depending on his posture, peak height was 6' 6"

They look the same height, Aikman looks taller because he is skinnyer, has higher shoulders and a smaller head.
And don´t forget the hair advantage.

Hogan has large features. He's not a basketball player type. He obviosuly has noticeably chunkier footwear from the presenter for it to be mentioned.

Obvious to users of English. For his footwear to be considered 'cheating'.

Anyone check out the Aikman/Hogan links I posted? It's pretty clear they're about the same height when both have the same posture. I would bet if Hogan were measured today with perfect posture, he would be in the 6'4" range. He just comes across as being 6'3" or so because his posture is usually really bad. In his prime, he was about 6'6".

Here is the Aikman/Hogan clip again:

They are lined up with each, have similar posture, and are the same height.
dicksock said on 1/Feb/12
Vegas: Just because edge has to have another surgery, that doesn't mean he'll end up anywhere near as bad as Hogan. Only time will tell, but if he stays out of the ring, I'd bet the house that Edge will be just fine. He may be limited physically, but he went be walking around like an 90 year old man and unable to straighten his legs. Edge's problems were caused by wrestling. I think Hogan's were caused by steroid abuse.

Hogan is taller than Matthew Stadlen who claims 6'4. They go back to back so you don't get any better than that. Hogan says he is wearing tennis shoes. Also, Hogan's head and hands are much larger than Stadlen's in comparison.

If a 1978-1989 Hogan stood next to this same guy, he would be looking down at him GUARANTEED. Stadlen is probably 6'3" and change and Hogan probably had the footwear advantage. I don't see Hogan at any taller than a FLAT 6'3" today. Was close to 6'6" in his prime (hence the HUGE hands)..

The reason I say 6'3 is because he had an inch or so on Sting, I've stood right next to sting ringside (in 03) and he looked a solid 6'2, Still looks it today.
Hogan was taller than sting, Bully ray, James storm and bobby rood, If he could stand tall he may reach 6'4 but I dont think he physically can, He could be as low as 6'2 like Danimal says.
He was leaning slightly to one side and seemed to have very tilted pelvis, When he took his shirt off it was a sad sight.
I totally agree with Danimal about his slim hips.
I dont think I've ever seen a person walking without a cane or crutches in such a bad physical state, I have no problems seeing MASSIVE height loss from Hogan.
There is no way he's over 6'4 today, Its sad to say but I cant see the man walking for much longer, with his hair and strange proportions he had the Michael Jackson way to much surgery not quite human look to him.
Seeing the younger guys in great shape in the ring next to him only made it seem worse, as a 25yr wrestling fan I couldn't help but look at the younger guys with a sense of sadness seeing what the future holds for most old wrestlers.

I don't think Hogan wears cowboy boots anymore. Haven't seen them since the mid nineties. I think he sticks to wearing Nikes because of his back issues. I think it safe to say Hogan is curently 6'4. Anything under this is out of the question. I think Hogan gets asked about his shoe advantage because Matthew Stadlen Claims to be 6'4 and Hogan is taller.

That guy he went back to back with claims to be 6'4"? Hogan was clearly at least an inch taller. Then again he's at least 2" taller than 6'2" Sting so it doesn't surprise me.

One question to JT. You are very active her and posting a lot, but what was Hogans peak height right out of bed according to you?

Right out of bed? Maybe 6'5.5" or so and then around 6'5" at midday. I'd never bet against Hogan at one time hitting 6'6" at midday but just don't believe he was ever that tall.

There are plenty of pics out there of 6'6" basketball players with guys of known height and Hogan never came across as a legit 6'6" to me. Compare how Hogan measured up to mean gene with 6'4.5"/6'5" Bill Fralic and gene Click Here and charles barkley and gene Click Here Rob has Barkley at 6'4 3/4", which is too low. He is around 6'6" but no taller.

In part 1 at 3:47 onwards you can see Hogan stand close to Tom Rossovich. Hogan's in white cowboy boots and a little closer to the camera.

At 12:15 and onwards you see Hogan stand with Bruce Jenner. Hogan calls Jenner a little man and has ~4 inches on him.

The shot you posted seems to have been cut out of the original episode though.

Hogan looks kinda short next to McGinley. McGinley is ~5'11" judging from Married with Children. I think the photo gives a skewed result. McGinley was 1-2 inches shorter than Ed O'Neill. O'Neill looked around 2-3 inches shorter than King Kong Bundy and Bundy was around 1-2 inches shorter than Hogan.

Rob do you really think Hulk was a legitimate flat 6'6 in his prime?

He did regularly claim 6'7, but maybe that was in his wrestling boots?

Every photo/video I've seen posted on here over the last 5 years points to him being closer to 6'5 than 6'6 and most likely bang down the middle at 6'5.5.

Next to Sid who you have listed at 6'7 on here, he looked a solid 2 inches shorter in 1991, and he was only 38 years old at that time.

I think you have his present height bang on by the way, just not sure on that 6'6 peak.

He looked really tall next to andre the giant. He is my favourite wrestler of all time. I grew up with him. I liked it when he ripped his singlet. That was awesome. He is ripped. I think after all the surgery he would lose a couple of inches. I hope to meet him one day. 192cm is about right.

Exactly. Having never met Hulk, I can't really pin point his weight. I would say he weighs anywhere between 250lbs and 280lbs. If I had to guess his exact stats, I would say ~6'4" 265lbs. At his biggest, he was probably ~6'5.5" ~300lbs.

Two guys next to each other in T-shirts are hard to judge as well.
If hogan was 280 I wouldn't be surprised.
At his lightest I think 230, I had a copy of impact magazine from 1993 and in an interview in that he said 230, The interview wasn't about wrestling at all and it just focused on thunder in paradise and acting. As far as height goes I'm with Danimal and davey although I think he could maybe be over 6'3 today.

It's time to put an end to this discussion! Hogan is a legend and a wrestling icon. He is/was and will always be the greatest and most famous wrestler of all time. here in Sweden people only recognise Hogan and the rock. names like steve austin, flair, bret hart, undertaker, cena doesn't say a ****.

Let's face the true abou hogan real stats

PRIME 6'4.5 - 6'5.25 (nothing less and nothing over )

Current: i don't realy care about his current height but his height loss is a maximum of 1.5 inches. so if he was 6'5 peak then he is 6'3.5 now and if he was 6'5 peak then he is 6'3 now.

this is celebheights and not celebweights or celebbiceps!
NOW THIS IS SOOO RIGHT . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Danimal said on 26/Dec/11
davey says on 23/Dec/11
He claims he was 6'7 when he was young and first started in wrestling, he must have been measured somewhere that gave him that idea but knowing most people he was probably really about 6'6 and a little bit and rounded himself up to 6'7.
These days when I see him standing next to people he used to be way taller than like sting and vince mcmahon and looking practically the same height as them now (especially vince he used to do interviews next to him in the middle of the ring and tower over him then in 2003 he was practically the same size) I'd go as far as to say he's lost at least 3 inches in height through age plus surgeries so he'd have to be 6'3 max, I wouldn't really be surprised if he was even 6'2 after all he's been through.

I 100% agree with everything you wrote.

Troy's shoulders are actually broader than Hogan's now.

Considering his height loss and loss of overall size, I'd give him still 250+ pounds easily.

It's time to put an end to this discussion! Hogan is a legend and a wrestling icon. He is/was and will always be the greatest and most famous wrestler of all time. here in Sweden people only recognise Hogan and the rock. names like steve austin, flair, bret hart, undertaker, cena doesn't say a ****.

Let's face the true abou hogan real stats

PRIME 6'4.5 - 6'5.25 (nothing less and nothing over )

Current: i don't realy care about his current height but his height loss is a maximum of 1.5 inches. so if he was 6'5 peak then he is 6'3.5 now and if he was 6'5 peak then he is 6'3 now.

this is celebheights and not celebweights or celebbiceps!
davey said on 23/Dec/11
He claims he was 6'7 when he was young and first started in wrestling, he must have been measured somewhere that gave him that idea but knowing most people he was probably really about 6'6 and a little bit and rounded himself up to 6'7.
These days when I see him standing next to people he used to be way taller than like sting and vince mcmahon and looking practically the same height as them now (especially vince he used to do interviews next to him in the middle of the ring and tower over him then in 2003 he was practically the same size) I'd go as far as to say he's lost at least 3 inches in height through age plus surgeries so he'd have to be 6'3 max, I wouldn't really be surprised if he was even 6'2 after all he's been through.

You don't get billed as "An Incredible Sight Standing Nearly 7 feet tall weight 390lbs" without at least being close enough to get away with it.

Really Ronster!...280 plus! Troy Aikman weighs 232 lbs "This is what he told NFL serious radio last week when they were discussing the size of modern day QB's".....Troy said, "I'm 6'4" and weight 232 & I played at 227-230 & these guys make me look small sometimes" Now, does Hogan look 50 lbs heavier than Troy in RAC commercials?...No! 15 lbs tops! Troy's shoulders are actually broader than Hogan's now.

RP - Did you weigh Hogan on your scale at home or something??? You must be god or something to know better than Hogan himself what he weighs in at today. He has stated recently that he hovers around 285 to 290lbs and was well over 300lbs in the Hulkamania days. And Miko, Nash is 6'11" not 6'9", his basketball stats show that as does when he stands toe to toe with the legit 7' plus Big Show nearly eye to eye. Stop posting ridiculous opinions and stick with whats real people.

________

Nash was never eye to eye with 7', not 7' plus, Big Show. He looked 2"-3" shorter in WCW. Where are his basketball stats? Hogan also said Andre weighed close to 700lbs at Wrestlemania III...I guess you believe that as well?

In 1985 Hulk Hogan in several matches with big John stud . Who is 6'7" Hulk Hogan was clearly between an inch and a half or two full inches shorter. Which once again brings us to his Peak Height of 6'5" is weight very between 285 pounds to 300 pounds
RP said on 20/Dec/11
Ronster, Do you seriously, honestly believe that Hogan at is currently close to 300 lbs? Fella, he's 260 tops at the moment! I'd say his current naked body weight is in the 248-253 range...at his current height of 6'3.75"...Saw him on ESPN last week, Terry is 6'3.75" and in the low 250's right now. He could maybe pigout & hit 260 fully clothed & with shoes on right now? But, barefoot: 6'3.75" & naked: 248-253 lbs. This nonsense of you claiming he is close to 300 is just silly! Even to say 280 would be rediculous!
madmacs said on 18/Dec/11
5'8" sounds right. I am almost 6'8" and was walking thru an airport and my 5'11" wife when she says there's Hulk Hogan! I looked around and around and said to her where is he? She said he's right in front of you! I looked down and there he was. 5'8" sounds about right!!

Are you talking about him when he was billed that in rocky 3? where they used camera angles to make him look even bigger next to a relatively tiny at the time 5'8"-9" Stallone?

He was nowhere near 6'8". The biggest he even said he was 6'7".

Danimal is correct on several accounts....Lou at 42 in The Masters Olympia was 6'4.25" & 308 lbs with 23" arms...Lou said they hit 23.5" cold during the offseason when he hit 320. Peak Lou was 6'4.75"! His arms where mostly 22" cold when he was training properly & not taking weeks off to film The Hulk & movies. Peak Hogan was 6'5.5"....his weight from the late 70's to the late 80's was 300-305....once in a while he'd bloat up to 310. And a few times he dipped down to about 290. And Terry's "Hulk" largest his arms where 22" cold. This is fact! And please!. Stop showing that 1978/79 pic of Terry with the hairy chest as your proof of his arms being 24"! Jeez! Can you not tell that the photo was taken with the shadow technique? That placed a shadow behind his arm to make it appear larger. Take out the shadow, and Terry's arms only look 21" there.

Lou Ferrigno has PROVEN 24 1/2" arms and weighed over 330 lbs.
Even Hogan at his SHORTEST was taller than Ferrigno PEAK.
Peak Hogan towered over 3 1/2" above Ferrigno though and Ferrigno had MUCH shorter arms than Hogan making them appear bigger than they really are.
Even after all that, Ferrigno's arms look smaller than Hogan's, just more defined.

Wrong.. Lou's arms ranged between 21-23" (Depending on his bodyweight).. FACT.. Your 24.5" is made up.

Grow up Danimal, for once in your life.

Unless Hogan is jumping straight out of bed into his cowboy boots, he NEVER saw 6'7 in them.

PRIME: 6'5.75/6'6 out of bed. 6'5 daytime, 6'6.5/6.6.75 in his cowboy boots.

Lou Ferrigno was measured @ 6'4 1/2" at age 50. He was over 6'5" peak.
Even after losing all that height, Hogan is still taller.
Peak Lou Ferrigno 6'5 1/4", Hulk Hogan 6'8 1/16".

WOW, you're insane, aren't you? Lou was never measured at the age of 50. In 1994 (at the age of 42/43) he was said to be just over 6'4" at this Master Olympia. So, now Hogan was 6'8 1/4" eh? WOW, Ronster, what color is the sky in your world?

Hulk Hogan's arms vary in size throughout the years just as his weight and height has. They were at least 24 1/2" peak, and about 20" at their thinnest.

Coming from a man who has similar looking arms, I would bet my life those arms were not 24 1/2". They were more like 21". I don't know why you're so obsessed with believing in Hogan's billed statistics. He was a huge man. Nobody here disputes that. He was at least 6'5" and around 300lbs with not all that much fat. By the way, even if I'm wrong and he had legit 24" "pythons", what does that have to do with his height? Ok, Hogan was 450lbs and had 32.5" arms. How tall was he? The FACT is, he wasn't taller than 6'5.75" Earthquake. He wasn't as tall as 6'7" Sid. He looked very similar in height with the self described 6'5" Jake Roberts, 6'5" Scott Hall, and 6'5" Barry Windham. He was about 3" shorter than 6'8"-6'9" Giant Baba. He was barely taller than 6'5" max Hillbilly Jim. He was a tad shorter than 6'7" max John Studd. I have never seen a situation where Hogan looked above 6'7". Most of the time, he looked 6'5"-6'6".
drummer777 said on 7/Dec/11
Well Naturally he get larger and taller hes the Hulk isn't he, When Hulk gets angry it causes him to grow into larger and taller Hulk and then he shrinks back down to 6'3, YOu see Andre made him really angry so he grew his largest and tallest to 6'8.

HULK smash Andre ;0
