They did measure Hulks biceps fully flexed at 24 inches on Vinces talk show back in the 80's, its on youtube, I don't believe now hulk was ever 6'7 I did give him the benefit of the doubt because its possible to lose inches from spinal surgery.
You can tell he was heavier back in the 80's, I think he was around 305 pounds at that time and then went down to 275 in his WCW days.
He would of had to started losing his height before he met Sid and taker back in the 80's. but problem is he was shorter than a so called 6'7 JOhn studd back in the 70's.

yes i understand your point. If a 5'10.5 - 5'11 guy stood next to a 6'5 - 6'5.5 guy with the same size of arms, the shorter guys arms would look much taller as the are much shorter.
Hogan was billed as 6'6, 6'7 and 6'8
in the WWF he was billed between 294 - 303 pounds
Arms: in the beginning mentioned and promoted as 26 inches, later (WWF era) 24
reality:
peak height: 6'5.25 = 196,5 cm

I want Admin to compare the IP addresses of the mine compared to Ronster.
I bet it's the height cutters who are all 1 person, and they're trying to accuse me of doing what they're actually doing to deflect attention away from themselves.

In 1979 Bruno Sammartino . Described Hulk Hogan as being 6'5" during one of his matches . After the match Vince McMahon who is 6'1" did an interview with him Hulk Hogan looked to be no more than 3 1/2 inches taller. Which once again puts him at an absolute most of 6'5"

I used to believe Hogan was 6'5 max in his prime but now I realize Hulk was very tall back in the day. Maybe 6'8 would be too much, that height would've made him taller than Undertaker, although I admit he could have been 6'6.5 probably at his tallest in his 20's he was a towering man. Currently I think he is 6'3.5 but 6'3 is possible too.

In his prime he was 6'5/6'5.5 and around 290/295lbs.
Today he is 6'3.5/6'4 and around 265lbs.
He still is a very 'large' man, very big upper body and his arms are still around 19/20 inches down from his 22 inch peak.

Hulk was measured at 6'7 and I take him at his word. There's no reason to believe otherwise. If anything, he'd be half an inch taller because he probably had been awake all day when he went to his parents house.

Barkley is well known as 6'5. It's easy to look taller in a mugshot when the camera is pointing up instead of being level.

Sorry Dicksock, i was confusing you with Mike (AKA Vegas!). Go on and explain how the mugshot of Barkley showing him at 6'8" can be false in any way??? And Dicksock, i said he was a stong 6'7" meaning he was 6'7.5" and that was barefoot. Hogan by the way was 330-340lbs when he was all bulked up in the days of Thunderlips and Terry Boulder, anyone with a set of working eyes can see from a photo how much thicker and bulked up he was then compared to the late eighties when he was down around 300lbs. His arms were at their peak 26" and 23-24" in his prime. Today they are around 20" and his legs are nowhere near the size they were either. Those are just facts buddy, not speculation.

That mugshot of charles barkley has him at 6'8, Hogan said he noticed he was 6'4 just before his dad died, his dad died in 2001. The problem is he was billed 6'6 in 1982 and was shorter than John Studd who is 6'5 or 6'6.
Sid vicious was billed 6'7 in the 80's and Hogan was definitely shorter than a 6'7 Sid back than in the 80's I doubt that what he was refering to when he said "just before his dad died he noticed he was 6'4" back in the 80's His dad died in 2001.

Barkley has claimed to by 6'5", 6'4 1/2", 6'4 1/4", and even 6'4" before.
It's classic "tall man syndrome".

Let there be no more doubt. Hogan was at least 6'5.5" and probably 6'6". Also, does anybody else think Hogan was messed up during this interview?

Sorry Eric/Dick sock/Vegas or whatever other alias's you use

You must be stupid or something. Eric, Vegas and myself don't even have anywhere near the same estimates. Did you just choose three random posters? Hogan never said he was a strong 6'7". He just said he was 6'7" when he started training in 1976. He was 23 years old in 1976 so he wouldn't have grown after that. Anyone who thinks Hogan was taller than 6'7" is a fool and that's a fact. At his biggest he was billed at 295lbs and was billed at 295lbs by Wrestlemania III so you can forget about 340lbs or whatever nonsense you think is true. In fact, his most famous billing is 303lbs. Hogan was 6'5.5"-6'6" in his prime. He's 6'4" and about 260lbs tops now.

Big Lou's peak barefoot was 6'4.5" and this was taking & listed during the filming of Pumping Iron in the Mid-70's. Lou competed at 268-275 and would bulk up to about 290 in the off-seasons during the 70's. When he returned to competive Body Building in the early 90's he was HUGE! He competed in the low 300's & bulked up to 320-325 in the off-season. His arms were 22" cold in the 70's & a reported 23.5" cold in the early 90's when he got over 300 lbs. His Chest was 58" relaxed & 60" expanded"....and he was ripped! That is just enormous! 6'4.5" & 310-320 lbs 23" arms a 58"-60" chest! Now Lou at 60 is a weak 6'3" & his posture is'nt what it used to be.. When he stands perfectly straight he's still 6'3.5"

Hogan said he was 6'7" in his youth, and a as you like to say "strong" 6'7" at that so he was close to 6'8". His weight was well over 300lbs most of his life, he is 280-290 right now when his arms are 3-4" smaller and his legs are 10-15 pounds lighter each. He is over 6'5" and 285lbs right now and was easily over 6'7" and 320 lbs when he was under 34 years old. Those are just simple facts, and i don't go lowering or raising other peoples heights like you all do to make what i say right lol.

Mason Ryan is at least 3" shorter than Peak Hoan. He also has a much smaller head, shorter arms, thiner arms, shorter and thinner legs, than Hogan, etc.
Hogan has really long arms like a basketball player. His arms are big so people don't realize how long his arms really are.

Eric, JJ Dillon is not 5'9". I am 5'9.5" had my picture taken with Jerry Lawler who is 5'10". Dillion was taller then Lawler by 1", making him 5'11" The Austin picture with Dillon I feel is easy to explain. Austin likes wearing combat boots which gives extra height. Austin looks close 6'3". Though wearing normal footwear would put at 6'1".

You guys are living in a dream world, you've never seen a young Hulkster from the late 1970s up close. He was every bit of that 6'8" 340lbs.
Here's PROOF that was posted earlier.

Ok, I'm going to just ignore all of the obvious nonsense in that blog or whatever you posted the link to. Why would Hogan claim that he measured himself at 6'7" barefoot in his parent's house when he started wrestling if he was really 6'8"? Also, why would promoters bill Hogan at 295lbs when he started wrestling if he was 340lbs? Please use common sense. If Hogan claims that he peaked at 6'7", why are you claiming he was 6'8"?

Yes...JJ Dillon is 5'11" in his older age. I met him in 2005. I'm 5'11" barefoot & we were the exact same height when I met him & shook his hand..See my comments from The Rock's page.

mason ryan is currently billed 289lb and if you think hogan was 50lb bigger than him i suggest you go see an eyedoctor

James J Dillon is around 5'9 and Hulk was no taller next to JJ than Stone Cold was and I know for a fact Stone Cold is not taller than 6'1 because I met him.

Piper 6'
Hulk Hogan 6'5
Andre the Giant 6'11

A lot of people thought Chistopher Lloyd was at least 6'3" due to all of The Back To The Future movies & Michael J Fox being so short (5'4") which made Lloyd look very tall. So, Most people assumed he was at least 6'3"...because in the 80's MJ Fox tried to pass himself off as 5'6". But...Chris Lloyd is actually a "weak" 6'1"...6'2" in shoes.

Bobby Heenan has suffered from throat cancer. It looks like the doctors have now had to remove part of his jaw. He’s one of my all-time favorites and easily the funniest guy I’ve heard in wrestling.

if hogan looks 6'1 there and he has 5+ inches on bobby heenan then how tall does bundy look next to heenan around same time Click Here
---------------------
Danimal's 6'1" Hogan garbage aside, I am so saddened to see the great Bobby Heenan in such bad shape. I knew that he had/has cancer but I didn't realize he had gotten so much worse in the last 5 years or so. Truly shocking.
Ronster says on 10/Nov/11
Go to 15 seconds and pause, Hogan when the two are standing the same id an inch taller than Troy in his high lift sneakers, oh that would put Hogan over 6'5" haters. Click Here
----------------
We should just ignore that footage though. Let's focus on all the times Hogan has bad posture or has a camera angle disadvantage. Let's also just ignore the fact that he's consistently 2"-3" taller than a legit 6'2" man.

I must admit I first found this site because somebody bet me about Hogans height and I found ot interesting how many people think Hogan is shorter than what he says. Well I bet nobody on here has ever stood face to face with the man. I have met Hogan several times through out his career and I know how tall he is. I never measured him but Im 6'2 and Im taller then most men. Hogan curently is no shorter than 6'4 he could even be closer to 6'5. I live in the Tampa area and a Hogan sighting is not a rare thing. I bet the hatters on here are little boys who have never touched a weight or have never gotten into fight. I will not redpond to this boys.
I live in Tampa too, and I met Hulk the very morning that he had his most recent back surgery in the lobby of the hospital he had it at. I'd estimate his height at 6'3.5 ~ 6'4" that morning and that was a man who was obviously walking and standing in pain, I was literally 3 feet away from the man and even congratulated him and his wife on their marriage the day before. I have no doubt he's at least 6'5" after the surgery. Hulk's main problem is his posture, it can make him appear shorter than he is, he's constantly standing with a hunched back, neck slightly forward and knees slightly bent, if he straightened up he'd be around 6' 5.5" still.

This looks somewhat right although I think Hulk was definately well over 6ft in his younger years the WWE had him as being 6ft6 or 6ft7and weighing anywhere from 285-310 when he wrestled but of course with age and the job he was in with all the surgeries yea he could've dropped a few inches I think 6ft3 is too short for him I guess 6ft5 right now and weighing about 250-275 not as big as he used 2 but still fairly big

No man, Luger's heels were about as big as Hogan's cowboy boots at Bash at the Beach 1996 when he joined the NWO. He definitely had a footware advantage over Hogan. You must not have watched the whole clip if you think Luger was within an inch of Hogan. I would bet anything there was 2" between them. Hogan was staring down at him the whole time. Honestly, if you can watch the footage of Luger and Hogan from 1995 and come to the conclusion that Hogan was 6'3.5", then you are clearly clueless on this subject.

Hogan edged out Windham? Were you watching the same youtube clip? Anyone with a working pair of eyes could see that Barry was taller than Hulk.
The clip of them is useless. Windham clearly had the camera advantage. This is a case of people seeing what they want to see.

cant believe hogan lost 3in at height his only 58years old. im thinking peak he wore heel boots out 6'7 barefoot 6'5 and heading down 190cm flat maybe closer truth. his bill height was 6'9 during WWF. kurt angle had mention every wrestler get bill 4" higher than real height.

Definitely, Luger is listed as 6'4 in Football, Luger could be 6'3ish with hogan each man in the 6'3 to 6'4 range. I think you can put Barry windham at 6'4 barefoot and Sid at 6'5 1/2 to 6'6 barefoot. luger is more like 6'3ish barefoot. so you can make Barry windham 6'5 with his shoes on.
Hogan and Barry Windham have the same slight height advantage over Lex luger very minute though.

Judging from the video Vegas posted Barry Windham is taller then Hulk Hogan. However my only question is what kind of boots did Windham and Hogan wear at this point in what 1985??? Footwear does make a difference when u have two guys very close in height.
Both have standard wrestling boots on Click Here Costas is probably in the 5'6" range.
6’7” Sid had an easy 2 inches on Windham, just like he did on Hogan

I'd like to add a couple of more points to the 1995 Hogan/Luger comparison: Luger was at least 6'3" for a fact and may have been 6'3.5" or something. There is no way in the world Hogan had less than 2" on him in 1995. I believe that segment should end any notion of Hogan "losing height" by 1995. He probably did, but I'm talking about like .25" or something like that; not this 1-2" nonsense or as mamun thinks, 3". Luger also had a small footware advantage in that segment. Hogan was absolutely no less than 6'5" in that clip. I would give him ~6'5.5" at that time. Logically, a younger Hogan would have been even a little bit closer to 6'6".
Peak Hogan- 6'5.5"-6'6"
Early WCW era Hogan- ~6'5.5"
Late WCW era Hogan- 6'5"
2002 WWF return Hogan- 6'4.5"
TNA debut Hogan- 6'3"-6'3.5"
Current Hogan- ~6'4"

Both men were in the 6'5" range for sure. Hogan would have probably edged out Barry though.

Definitely will say a prayer for Barry. It's hard to believe that a thin kid started bulking up so much. Barry was 240 early in his career and then moved up to 275 by his wwf stint. All that food was a heart attack in progress. Get well soon, Barry.

Well I guess if Hogan was only 6'5 in his prime then Andre was only 6'9 in his prime. It is crazy how many people on this website bash Hogan. Why do they care so much about Hogans height? Hogan in the 90's was 2 inches shorter than Dennis Rodman. Dennis Rodman is 6'7 and said so on Howard Stern two months ago. A prime Hogan was 6'6 minimum.

This is a video of Hogan with Brooke Shields at about 1998. Shields is listed as 6'0. She's wearing high heels in the video, so that might bump her up to 6'1.5. Hogan seems to have three inches on her when he stands upright, so that'd put him in the area of 6'4.5 for the time.
Yeah, something funky happened between 2000 and 2002 (neck fusion and a hip replacement. I also believe he has a knee replacement as well). The man went from close to 6'5" before he left the WCW to barely over 6'3" upon his return to the WWE 2 years later imo.

I agree at peak he was 6'5.5" and around 295 lbs. At one point though he was 315 in the late 70s and early 80s. At one point before he was a wrestler he has said he was a low as 240 pounds after he lost all the fat and then he started power building to become a wrestler.

6'2 is a joke. He is still 6'3.5-6'4 today if he bothers to stand up. Claims 6'5''.

I'd give Hogan a peak 6'5 rony and today he looks like a very strong 6'3. I see only a little more than 2 inches between Hulk and Davidson.

That picture with Davidson is excellent. Their boots seems to have the same sole and is obvious that Davidson has 3" on Hogan. Davidson in this picture is definatly no less then 6'7 but also no more than 6'7.5 so Hogan's peek would be 6'4 to 6'4.5 and nowdayds he's about 6'2

Hogan was every bit 6'7"-6'8" in his cowboy boots in the 1980's.

Hogan came out 6'7" in most street encounters due to his famous golden cowboy boots.

I saw the Goldie and the Three Bears episode in question.(1984)Forget the picture, in the show Davidson and Hogan stand side by side talking for about 15 seconds, same footware, same stance. And just as the picture would suggest Davidson was about exactly 2 inches taller, definatly no less, maybe 2.25 inches...
Saw it too (and wasted an hour of my life). Davidson was easily 2 inches taller if not more. I believed Hogan was 6'8" at the time and was trying to come up with every excuse how he was really still the same height as Davidson when the height advantage was so obvious. I also recall one scene where Hogan is standing behind Davidson and craning his neck all he could just to be noticed over Davidson's shoulder. IIRC at the end, Hogan, Davidson and some third guy are standing together. Hogan did not look much shorter but the camera angle is very low so you can't really judge their heights.

"Btw, Ronster have you ever considered that wrestlers are mostly not as tall as what they're billed at?"
Hell no, this guy seems to fall for them hook, line and sinker. He probably really thinks the Big Show was 7' 4 and must think he just simply lost four inches of height over the years. It's hilarious to see him on here trying to defend a 6' 8 Hogan, and using a 6' 10 Undertaker to help support his idiocy.

you got your numbers wrong too, sid was hogans age at WM8 in 1999 and yes he was still peak height then and in 2001 imo

Ronster: again, Sid was BILLED at 6' 7, he's no taller than that. The Undertaker is NOT 6' 10, but is more like 6' 7.5 to 6' 8 and the Undertaker himself once even stated that he is 6' 8 on an episode of Smackdown.

Peak heights, Ben Davidson 6'8 1965 25yr old. Hulk Hogan 6'5.75 1978 25yr old. Sid Eudy 6'7 1985 25yr old. There was a big overlap in ages during the stairdowns with these guys. A peak Hogan with a diminished Davidson, and a peak Sid with a diminished Hogan. No way Hogan was peak in 1992 after 16 years already in the wrestling wars. And Davidson 13 years retired by 1984. Sid was no longer peak by about 2001 either.

And just as the picture would suggest Davidson was about exactly 2 inches taller, definatly no less, maybe 2.25 inches. About the same as Sid Eudy was taller than Hogan in the early 90's stairdowns, Davidson might have been a quarter to half inch taller than those. Davidson was 44 then, not peak. No one would suggest Hogan was at his peak at 44 in 1998. I suppose that if you gave Hogan the benifit of the doubt he could have been a flat 6'6 but more likely he was a little under that because Davidson was also called 6'7 sometimes.

I'm only interested in Sid's lowest billing, because we know that wrestlers are either billed at their actual height or exaggerated, and only on very rare occasions are they billed under. Since Sid was billed at 6' 7 originally, he isn't any taller than that (but I don't think he is any shorter either). And I seriously doubt Hulk wasn't at his prime in the early 90s. My goodness that argument gets ridiculous. It's like some people must think Hogan had like a 1 year prime or something.
If Sid was 6'7 at wrestlemania 8, how tall do you think hogan was? i would say hogan was around 6'5.5..i think that sid had a little footwear advantage..maybe 0.5

Sid Eudy was originally billed at 6' 7, anyone who questions me on that, I can get you the videos for that where he is referred to as 6' 7. That means this is Sid's maximum height. And everyone knows, that Sid had at least a couple inches on Hogan way back in the very early 90s. Hogan was in no way 6' 7 or even 6' 6, but possibly in the 6' 5 range.
yes Sid was billed as 6'7 in the beginning later as 6'8 and sometimes as 6'9..
He has also been given a 6'10" billing upon his return to the WWF in 1996-1997.

Hogan was not wearing boots when he was standing next to my friend, he was in his wrestling boots which by the way had no more lift than any pair of running shoes. Hogan makes off the cuff remarks all the time, and probably has not even measured his own height in the last 20 years. As I stated before, i know for a fact ( not based on some picture) that he was at least 6'7-6'8" when i saw him in the late eighties without shoes or any help. Now he is around 6'5"-6'6" when he stands straight up. How can any of you look at the picture above where he clears a 6' guy by almost a foot and say he was never over 6'5"? What are you smoking???? Remember, he has an enormous head which is easily a foot and a half from top of head to his chin. I have no issues with him being a couple of inches shorter now, that is normal for a big man who has had hip replacement surgery, but some people are trying to say he is only 6'2-6'3" tall? And they base it on pictures where you cannot make any sound judgment or even be accurate to within 6" of his height. Look at the picture of him with KISS in the 90's, he stood between two guys who are 6'1" tall with 6-8" platform boots on and he was only 1-2"" shorter than either of them, that would by the way for the mathematically challenged put him at 6'7" average with his boots on. For the nay sayers who just won't stop trying to diminish his stature, deal with it.

Hogan was 6'7 with his head of hair in the 70's. he went down to 6'6 when he lost it in the 80's Lost a natural inch in his 40's down to 6'5 by the end of the 90's. And lost an inch down to 6'4 from the surgeries by the 2000's. He can give the appearence of less than 6'4 now because his wheels are shot and he walks around like the missing link. If he had to stand up straight for a offical measuring I sure he would be 6'4. He only lost about 2 inches of real height(not including hair) over the past 35 years.

I went and saw him live at ringside in the late eighties, and a friend of mine who is 6'5" tall had to look up to Hogan as he walked by. Hulk had at least 4-5" on guys in the 6'3-6'4" range in those days, and lifts won't get you more than an inch. He was billed at times as nearly 7' tall which was an exageration, but he was minimum 6'7-6'8" tall. Today by his own admission he has lost about 1-2" to wear and tear, but he still is between 6'5-6'6" tall. I am forever amused by all you so called experts who think they can judge from a photo someone's height. For instance, the pic everyone is citing now of him with Hasselhoff. He is slouching/leaning to one side and David was standing as straight as an arrow, plus we cannot see what they are standing on. I can be less than two feet from someone, but if the ground is uneven ( it always is) I can easily appear two inches or more taller/shorter depending on where i am. I see pics every day almost of him next to his daughter who is just under 6' barely, and he clears her by at least 4-6". You all need to stop trying to tear down the giants of our generation and get a hobby or something better to do with your time. Stop being so insecure about tall people already, gosh. For the record, Andre was over 7' tall when he stood up straight, which was not very often after 1980.(And remember he kept growing his whole life).

Hogan is taller than 6'2" Brooke is 5'10.5" and in heels can reach a close 6'2" and Hogan is still an inch or two taller.

Looks 6'7.5-6'7.75 in the picture above. And 1988 was hardly peak height for Hogan, 1977 would have been more like it.(24yr old) He's 35 in the photo above. His WWF days were starting to wind down by 1988. Even if you were to say that Greg is only 5'10.75 Hogan would be as much as 6'6.

Hogan was very huge, tall and strong back in the 70's and mid 80's it's just sad that everyone remembers Hogan in the nWo days or the WWE days when was way behind his prime..There was not really many guys who was taller than Hogan in the 80's execpt for a few like Big John Studd, Andre the Giant and One Man Gang..some says wrestlers is taller today than before..but Hogan was taller than Hillbilly Jim (6'5) Jake Roberts (6'5) Zeus (6'5) he was only 1.5 inches shorter than Big John Studd and Sid Justice. He stood up really good to a 7 feet Andre back in the late 70's. Todays wrestlers like Batista, Triple H, John Cena, Steve Austin, Randy Orton and so on are all shorter than many of the wrestlers in the 80's..
Hogan was at his peak a legit 6'5.75 (197,5 cm) barefoot...in the NWO he looked like 195cm then in the WWE 2004-2006 like 193cm.. Hogan is probably today 192,5 cm and peak 197,5 cm....

Danimal, that's laughable. Have you seen how small Jesse comes offon taller wrestlers? Jesse isn't even as tall as 6'3.75" Ted Dibiase.
Jesse Ventura is a maximum of 6'2".

A-Train was billed at 6'6", as well as Viscera, as well as One Man Gang (1984). None of them were over that height.
if you are using lowest billings for wrestlers you can't just pick and choose, you must include andre, big show and jesse ventura too
Ventura wasn't billed at 6'2" in his wrestling days. As a Governor in his 50's, yes he is. Jesse was billed at 6'7" in the WWF if I'm not mistaken, yet he referred to himself as 6'4"-6'5".

Hulk Hogan 6'5.75 billead as 6'8 then 6'7 after height loss
Scott Hall 6'5.5 (billed 6'7)
Jake Roberts 6'5 (billed 6'6 and 6'7)
Hillbilly Jim 6'5.25 (billed 6'7)
One Man Gang/Akeem 6'6.75 (billed as high as 6'9)

Do you think Mideon is only 6'3"? Because he was billed that, and he was at least 6'5.5". Christian? Billed 5'10". was more like 6'.
You are using PWI bills, not actual bills. You have yet to prove One Man Gang was ever billed under 6'9". The truth is he never was. Mid-South billed him 6'10". ICW billed him 7'. UWF billed him 6'9". WWF billed him 6'9". in WCW J.R. once called him "6'8", maybe 6'10"." On the indie circuit, he is billed 7'.
There was NEVER a 6'6" bill unless you've created some fantasy league in your mind with your action figures.

Gang's boots aren't any bigger than Big Show's in the staredown.
I'm getting 273 pixel OMG and a 289 pixel Big Show, making One Man Gang 94.5% as tall as Big Show. So punch in however tall you believe Big Show is into a calculator, and that'll be what Gang is.
I'm personally getting 6'11.5" Big Show and 6'6.9" One Man Gang.

Big King, Gang was somewhere between 1"-2" taller than Hogan depending on the era. Really, 6'9" bill for the Gang is even more exaggerated than a 6'7" Hogan bill, it's just more believable because One Man Gang almost never wrestled someone taller than him.

There's no way One Man Gang was under 6'6", as he had at least an inch on Hogan. He was at most a half an inch shorter than Sid, probably more like a quarter inch.
The 6'6" was a PWI bill. This is the same magazine that had a picture of Kane and Big Show standing face to face and listed Kane 6'7", and Big Show 7'4", when the difference was more like 3". They also had Kane at 6'7" with Scott Hall as 6'8". They've also had Triple H at 6'5", Viscera at 6'10", and Great Khali at 7'5". They are FAR from a credible source for height information.

Electric Shock, then I wonder why the height of some wrestlers are too exaggerated. I really don't believe that Hogan stood 6'7" in his younger days. He was really a weak 6'6" or 6'5.5" but nothing above it. But One Man Gang could be 6'9" because he looked really huge!

Big King, honestly, wrestlers don't get measured.
Look at Finlay; he has a 6'2" bill. The only way Finlay could ever be 6'2" is if he was standing on a phone book. He's like 5'10" max.
A lot of bills were due to Andre the Giant. Andre was about 6'11". In order the make him bigger than Kareem Abdul Jabaar, who was listed at 7'2", they lied and said he was 7'4". This created a chain effect with a lot of guys getting 2-3 inch advantages on their bills.
6'7"-6'7.5" John Studd became 6'10"
6'6.5"-6'7" One Man Gang became 6'9"
One Man Gang was being billed at 6'6" in 1984 (BEFORE the WWF). That was his MAX height.

Electric Shock your a bit off with what you're saying. Wrestler's heights are exagerrated.Some may even be because they want it to align with another tall wrestler. But to say a lot of bills were due to Andre is overstating. The guys would have been overbilled with or w/o Andre ever wrestling. It's not like Andre set off a chain reaction of overbilling in the wrestling world.

The thing that bungled it up is certain guys (6'5" Jake Roberts, 6'4" Ted Dibiase, 6'2" Ultimate Warrior) didn't get overbills. So at Wrestlemania 6 6'8" Hulk Hogan only came out between three to four inches taller than 6'2" Ultimate Warrior. The worst of these was Dibiase, who was actually billed 6'3" when he was more like 6'4". Hogan came out less than a full 2" taller than him, but was billed about 5" taller. Yikes.

The worst of these was Dibiase, who was actually billed 6'3" when he was more like 6'4". Hogan came out less than a full 2" taller than him, but was billed about 5" taller. Yikes.

Do the wrestlers get measured with shoes?
id have to say thats true because you never see them without shoes.

Hogan was still pretty much the same height as David Hasselhoff and Conan O'Brien.
He also seemed to have the same height advantage over mean Gene (who I think lost an inch) through the years.
I Hogan has lost about 2 inches, from 6'5,5 to 6'3,5.
Remember people Hogan likes to excaggerate (700 lbs Andre for example) so I wouldn't be suprised if he would excaggerate the amount of height he has lost.

Hogan claims that he was 6'7 peak and Andre was 6 inches taller than him when they met. So Hogan claims a 7'1 for Andre but Andre was in his 30's by the time they met. Since we know Hogan was between 6'5.5-6'6 peak than Andre would be 6'11.5-7' when they met in Andre's early 30's in late 1970's.

On Hogan KNows Best interestingly Hogan looked about 1.5-2 inches shorter than 6'5" Davie Boy Smith's son Harry. He was looking up at him and said "Dude you're huge". Hogan looked 6'3" in comparison if he is a legit 6'5".

He looked 6'7 back in the day, but like he said after all those knee and back surgeries he looks to have lost nearly three inches.

after comoparing sid and hogan i have come to this, that hogans peak height then was probably around 6'5.5 and sid was 6'7..don't forget sid also had a footwear advantage over hogan just like zeus that is pretty clear if you watch the picture...

Hogan was 6'6. Only the very tallest guys were even Slightly taller than him years back. Super tall guys like Big John Studd and Sid Eudy, Ben davidson, were as litle as a inch or inch and a half taller and those guys had an accepted height range of 6'7-6'8. Hogan even stood up remarkably well with Andre in the late 70's early 80's at as little as 5 inches shorter, when Andre had to be 7 foot because he was only slightly shorter than 7'1-7'2 Wilt Chamberlin.

The thing is Sid has higher shoulders, which creates the illusion of a taller man. Hogan's height is in his head. Also Earthquake looked taller than Hogan next to Mean Gene because of his shoulders, where in reality he is only slightly taller than Hogan, about 1/2 an inch.

....Who has the camera/position advantage here? I have seem this angle staredown so many times and it seems like the advantage always changes, and usually it's towards the guy who is just taller. I believe I've seen this angle work in Undertaker's favor from different posters whether he's front or back, like it's part of his DNA to always have camera advantage.....
As long as the camera is above the wrestlers' heads, the guy farther from the camera always has the advantage. It's Hogan in that staredown. That's why the top of Piper's head is above Hogan's and Sid's, when he is at least 4-5 inches shorter that Hogan. Click Here

Something worth noting: I recently looked up the article about Earthquake and it had him listed as 198 cm, with 6'5.75" listed in parenthesis. This got me thinking; did the writer of the article just make a math error?
Quake would have obviously been measured in Japan, where they use the metric system. That leads me to believe that Quake was measured 198 cm, and the author just made an error in the conversion. 198 cm is basically 6'6", not 6'5.75".
Just something to think about.

That sounds like a result. Hogan's height was 6'5.5" in his younger days and nowadays he's nothing more than 6'3.5", end of discussion. That guy has lost exactly 2 inches. He was written as 6'7" and 6'8" because the WWE wanted to list him at that height but anything above 6'6" was obviously a joke for Hogan.
He was 6'6" and is struggling with 6'3" today. In my book, that's 3".

2" is going to be tough for Sid to come by here. I'll even say their boots are even in this match for the sake of argument. You can't even squeeze 1.5" out here. That's approximately 4pix/in and the most I get there is 5px difference. If you want to say it's 3pix/in to get Sid into the 2" barrier, then Hogan's head is 13" tall. Sid's posture is impeccable and he's leaning his head back in 2 of them, Hogan's posture is sloppy.

As of 1992 I see Sid 6'6.75" and Hogan 6'5.5"-.75"
Can someone post a solid shot where Sid comes out 2" taller? I guarantee it's just overstating the value of 2" or aiming Sid's head top too high due to his fluffy hair.
There was a point in time even after I realized wrestlers generally aren't their billed heights where I thought Sid was 6'8". I even met him some time after, stared directly at his bicep in an indy show locker room and still thought he was 6'8" when I was 17. Years later, it just doesn't add up.

Hogan for sure was nothing under 6'5.5 barefoot at his prime...he was a very very strong 6'5.5 barefoot guy...maybe also 6'6...the hulkster was huge back then..he was very tall,heavy and strong for sure...Hogan looks much better today then his fellow restlers who is at the same age as him..like Lex Luger, Randy Savage, Ric Flair, Roddy Piper, Jim Duggan, Iron Sheik, nikolai volkoff, ted dibiase and so on..
today he is a strong 6'3.5 around 265 pounds
Peak 6'5.5 and maybe 6'5.75 and 305 pounds at his heaviest(1978-1979)

Strong 6'6 peak. Even in the 90's when he paired up with 6'3 NFL Kevin Greene he was way taller, about 3 inches, and he was way taller around 1980 than he was in the mid 90's. Back in the 80's he was way taller, about 3 inches, than Jesse Ventura who, even if you knock him down to 6'3 instead of the 6'4-6'5 that he called himself, still leaves Hogan at a strong 6'6.

Big Show, I've yet to come across any pure staredown between Hogan and Studd
It's bound to show up one day, as Hogan and Studd had several matches together which have probably been televised back then.
That Studd is billed taller than Hogan does not necessarily mean he is taller. Batista is billed taller than Randy Orton, yet he's shorter in reality. Kane and Big Show are also billed at the same height (which they're not).
Studd was a huge guy (both in height and weight) so it's no surprise the WWF billed him as a monster at the time (which could explain the higher billings).
I've read somewhere that Studd was billed at 6'7 in his early days, but have thusfar been unable to find any proof of this.

I think that the picture of Hulk with Goerge Foreman next to the heavy bag shows just how huge Hogan was. Foreman was always 6'4 and Hogan towers over him, 6'6+ in that picture and that is way past his prime. and that was at the peak of the big George days when he weighed a ton like 280 give or take 20 pounds. Hogan has got to be 300 lbs even at that time, Foreman looks slight!. And that is the biggest Hogan's arms have ever looked, I believe the 24" from that photo. Foreman had Huge arms and Hogan's are twice as big!! I think Hogan simply lost a amazing amount of height, He was very close to 6'7 back in 1979. About 6'6.75.

Max head height I can give either man is 10" and they both are pretty dead even in skull height. This has also been observed from countless staredowns with other wrestlers. It's the most reasonable number. In any event, Sid here coming out 1.5" taller than Hogan, and Sid has a .25" boot advantage (1" vs .75" in 1992). The final difference is 1.25", making Sid 6'6.75-6'7" whether you believe Hogan was 6'5.5" or 6'5.75". I believe the latter.

I still believe that, but I don't agree with your 1" height difference, because it has Studd at 6'6" and Hogan at 6'5". My 1" height difference has Hogan at 6'6" or close to it and Studd an 1" more.

Also, just compare how Hogan measured up to guys like Andre and Bundy with how Studd did. Hogan had Bundy by around 2 inches; Studd had Bundy by around 3. Andre was around 5 inches taller than Hogan; Andre had Studd by 3-4 inches max in the late 1990s. The fact that WWF billed Hogan at 6'8" and Studd at 6'10" makes it pretty clear that Studd was the taller of the two.

Lets get real here Hogan is 2-2.5'' shorter than a 6'7''Sid, Hogan was at best 6'5'' he is now about 6'3''.

Pause at 4:55 til 4:58 (too bad the video skips at that point). Hogan and Studd look close to the same height if you ask me. If Hogan is really 1 inch shorter than Studd it would mean he's basically the same height as Bill Fralic (who's 6'4.5"-6'5").

....JT, provide some PROOF that John Studd had 1" on Hogan.
You're a walking contradiction - you also believed a peak height Hogan was 6'6" and Studd at least 6'7". Click Here Now, we'll anxiously await your PROOF that they were the same height. Quit emoting - it adds nothing to the debate.
Electric Shock, Sid's boots were no bigger than Hogan's. Sid was a solid 2 inches taller than Hogan.

One Man Gang was billed at 6'6" in the early/mid 80's. I have OLD Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazines and he BILLED at 6'6".

No way a peak Hogan was not at least 6'6. For every picture/video that shows him looking shorter than that, there are 2 pictures/video's that show him looking TALLER than that. Hogan's peak height should not be discussed as being anything after about 1985. In the picture with Mean Gene below, that is not from 1981. Hogan was not donning the Hulk rules tee shirt and Hulkamania bandana back then, in 1981 Hogan was in Verne Gangea's orginization. He would not be the champ for two years yet and did not even have a truely set persona yet, he had not even filmed Rocky 3, a transition time from the Terry Boulder/Sterling Golden/Super Destroyer days to the Hulkster days. That picture is from years later. Just showing that a peak Hogan would have stacked up even better to Sid.

Click Here Sid coming out roughly 1.25" shorter than Sid with a .25" boot disadvantage.
Click Here Hogan coming out about 1.75" taller than Big Boss Man with a .25" advantage (Boss Man's boots were pretty small.)

I never understood why Gang went between the ropes. Look how low he has to stoop lol.
I guess my initial estimates for Gang were low. Gang at least an even 6'7", basically coming out the exact same height as Sid.

Miko, Hogan only came off the juice in 1993-1994 (for the steroid trials). He was juiced to the gills during the ENTIRE NWO years (way too much definition) and was juiced upon his return to the WWE in 2002-2003, as well as 2005. He's never really been OFF the juice since 1975, with exception to the steroid trials. Sometimes he's cycling more often, or for longer periods and sometimes he UPS the dosage, but he's always on some levels of dianobol FOR SURE.

Click Here I know not entirely scientific, but I used a (Rare) screen cap of Gang standing straight up and lined up the shoulders and head size with Gang hunched facing Hogan...
OMG was doing his stupid African dance with Hogan. It all depends on when you cap it. Click Here OMG was every bit as tall as John Studd, who was at least an inch taller than Hogan. OMG sometimes wore big-heeled boots in WCW. In OMG's normal wrestling boots, you can see how Big Show standing really straight measured up to him even with the high camera angle favoring OMG. Click Here ~ 6'1" Ed Leslie (Brutus Beefcake) is in the video too.

Also Hogan underwent his first back surgery in 1990. In 1990 he took a few months off before he first wrestled Earthquake at Summerslam 1990 so this is probably when he had the surgery.
when hogan took time off from wwf (between april and july 1990) he was filming suburban commando and wrestling in japan, i have posted proof of that on here on more than one occasion
When Shawn Michaels had major spinal fusion surgery he retired from wrestling and didn't come back after 4 years. Some were saying he was crazy as his injury at the time would've ended most careers.
Yet Hogan, who's supposed to have the same surgery came back in 3 months!!!
People with torn biceps are out longer than 3 months. A broken back would've taken Hogan out for a year if not more.

Gang coming out about 1.5 taller than Hulkster. If we're saying Hogan 6'5.5", then Gang would be just under 6'7" given a slight boot advantage. If we're still saying Hogan 6'6" prime, than Gang is a giant of a man at over 6'7".

Here Hogan is standing straight and in JT's comparison Hogan's knees are slightly bent. Hogan comes out slightly taller.
Click Here
The high camera angle favors Hogan, which is the only reason he comes out taller. Tenta was taller than Hogan back then.

Akeem used to be billed at 6'6" in 1984 when he fought as the One Man Gang. this is PRE-Mohawk days. He used to have long hair. Anyways, he was never over 6'6". Same height as Viscera and PEAK Hogan.

Billy Graham had a claimed 25 years on steriods, and has gone from 6"4 down to under 6"0 now. 4 or 5 inches on height loss.
I'm not sure how long Hogan was on the juice for, late 70's to early 90's, perhaps a 12-13 year run, he might have gone back on in the late 90's too, what do you think Danimal about how long Hogan was on the juice?
I doubt he has been on the juice for close to 30 years non stop as he'd be in worse shape than Billy Graham today.
