I can live with 6'0" for Macho Man, but not over that and NO, Davey Boy Smith did NOT have 3" on Mean Gene. Mean Gene was in actuality taller than BILLED 5'8" Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy had 1-2" MAX on Dynamite Kid when we saw their FEET. Those backstage interviews are NEVER accurate.

I would say Hogan was no more than 6'5.5" in his prime and 6'4" nowadays.

5'11 is too low for savage
Agreed, 6'0'' seems a better estimate. Also looked 1.5'' shorter than Warrior(6'1.5'' as per Rob)

Hogan was no less than 6'6 peak. I don't care what he is now, old people with health issues shrink up. He might have been a hair over 6'6, In 70's matches with a strapping Andre he was not that much shorter, the pictures with Hogan in the slippers and Andre with the boots on from 1979 shows a 6'6+ Hogan. Even if Andre was only 6'10 back then, and I think he was more, he was 7'0 in boots, if you size up well with a guy standing at 7'0 like Hogan did, your at least 6'6.

Hogan has lost alot of height, he towered over people in the 70's-80's he was literally one of the tallest wrestlers for 10-15 years. I truly beleive that Hogan was 6'6 if not 6'6.25 or 6'6.50 at his peak back in 1979. He is still 6'4 today even though he has lost alot of height.

Hogan gets a bum rap on this site. He was a strong 6'6 320 when he was young. He was 2 inchs shorter than 6'8 Ben Davidson. and he is still 6'4 today, his medical issues make him schuffle along like the mummy and that gives the appearence of 6'3.

That picture between Ali and Hogan CLEARLY shows a 6'2.5 Ali and a 6'6 Hogan. There was about 3.5" between them. I honestly don't even see why people debate Hogan's peak height anymore. There is too much evidence that says he was never below 6'5.5" in his peak and never above 6'6".

Ali was def only 6'2.5''peak,and i think Hogan aways looks hever than he was,he had big arms and chest,but not very wide in the back with thin legs,you need big legs and ass to be over 300lbs with he's body fat.i very much dout he is 280lbs now with those legs,18st 252lbs more like.

I've come full circle on Hogan. When I was young and nieve in the 80's I beleived the 6'8+ 340+ hype. Which was wrong, and in the past several years I went the other way and thought he was like 6'4.5 290 peak which was wrong to. Hogan IS one of those people who had a great height loss. He was every bit of 6'6 at his peak and 320, although I think he went down to his usually stated 300-305 after he became champ and it was more important to look good rather to just see how much he could weigh. He just schrunk up like some peole do, I think he is 6'3.75 now and about 280.

Hogan has 3 inches on Ali there. You'd have to be blind not to see that. Putting Hogan at over 6"5.

No one should even think about Hogan as being at peak height anything after about 1988. His peak would have been the late 70's, real early 80's. That is when he was young and had perfect posture. He was a tall guy. He was about 6'6. Everybody is different, some people can keep there height till they are 75 yr old and some people can lose a good 2 inches by the time there 50. Hogan is one of those guys. Hogan was alot taller in 1979 than 2009 6'5.75 then - 6'3.75 now

That 1979 poster says it all, It proves that Hogan was no better than a round up 6'6 at his peak. Which is proved by the fact that even zealous Andre supporters only put him at 7'1.5-7'2 at his peak, so obvoius hype was going on in the poster. This would have been a high profile match, Almost assuredly Hogan's first match with Andre so they would have never billed a over 6'6, over 310, Hogan at less than he really was. If anything, since it didn't bother them to put Andre at a "out there" 7'4, it screams a 6'5 295 Hogan and a 6'11ish 450 Andre. Andre was only billed at 424 in a 1975 match with Chuck Wepner.

Really good find Big Show.
I've never seen Hogan billed that low at that point in his career. It was always 6'8" or thereabouts. If they billed Hogan at his legit height, they should've billed Andre at 7'0" because Hogan was no way near a foot shorter like tuga said.

john studd lost height due to illness aswell in 1989 he was at least 2" taller than 6'5" jake roberts and was the same if not a shade taller than akeem at the rumble that year.he was 1.5" taller than hogan putting hogan around 6'6-7" and hogan today is about 6'3-4" i saw some gladiator 6'4" and he was taller than hogan but in 1990 my 6'4" uncle met hogan and said hogan had 2-3" on him.
Big John Studd did NOT lose height due to ilness. You have NO proof of that. Besides, John was NO LONGER wrestling when he was ILL!!!!! John gave up wrestling BEFORE he became ill. In fact, Big John Studd was larger in 1989 than he was in 1985-1986. You have NO idea was you are talking about.

Look, I can accept that he has lost height as all tall people loose more on average once they are over 50. Today he is between 6'5-6'6". In his youth he was almost 6'8" period.

Good point Danimal, it's not like Hogan ever wrestled like a Ric Flair or a Shawn Michaels.
Has to be the steroid abuse primarily causing all these physical problems. Billy Graham is a another excellent example of the effects of long-term steroid abuse, he claims 4" of height loss from a collapsed spine, ankle fusion, hip replacements etc.

Hogan also need ANOTHER hip replacement again apparently (he said so on Howard Stern). It's amazing, but he wasn't even a real physical wrestler to warrant all these back, hip, knee and neck surgeries... I believe it was the steroid abuse (much like Superstar Billy Graham has undergone in the last 22 years.

Forget about what I said about compairing Hogan with Studd,I just watched a video on the Andre page where Hogan looked 5 to 5.5 inches taller than 6'1.5" Vince McMahon(no,I don`t think Hogan was 6'7").So something is not right in that video,and I know hogan has lost height over the years.But the fact that he can look only 1 or 2 inches taller than McMahon now is incredible.I give up trying to estimate anyone`s height using Hogan as a referance.

Hogan even at his peak in the early 80's was shorter then Studd, there was separation in height and was acknowledged as such in that Hogan was always given 6'7-6'8 and Studd was given 6'10-6'11. Bill Fralic was 6'5 and was the slightest bit shorter than Studd. I don't see how one can give Hogan 6'6 when Studd was maybe just 6'6. A barefoot Hogan could not have been over 6'5.5 and more like 6'5

Hogan was a legit 6'6-6'7 in his youth. It's more than evident when you see him in a lot of his early bouts, who much bigger he is than legit 6'3-6'3 inch opponents.
Hogan had multiple back surgerys, where they literally took lumps out, so he lost a few inches in height from that.
If you watch him in his last wrestling incarnation, in WWE, he's taller (by a good inch) than Triple H, The Rock, and guys that size. So I'd say he's an easy 6'4
He wasn't as tall as 6'7". 6'6" for SURE. He also didn't only have multiple back surgeries, but also multiple knee replacements, a neck surgery and an entire hip replacement and he's also 55 years old. He was 6'6" and is barely over 6'3" today. Proof of that is how he TOWERED Vince McMahon throughout the 80's by 4-5" minimum and in 2002-2005, he had 1-2" on him. Same goes for his comparison's to Hilbilly Jim and that legendary Japanese wrestler I can't remember the name of at the moment.

Hogan had multiple back surgerys, where they literally took lumps out, so he lost a few inches in height from that.

Hogan was a likely 6.5.5" barefoot peak, never 6'7" although I wouldn't rule out 6'6", today looks around 6'4".

....Hillbilly indeed looks about an inch taller that Jake Roberts.
If you pause it at @ 1:28, it looks like HBJ has snakeskin cowboy boots on. Those are not his usual black wrestling boots. If he has standard wrestling boots on, HBJ measured up better next to Jake than Hogan did.

Jake Roberts refers to King Kong Bundy as 6'2, 450 lbs. Hillbilly indeed looks about an inch taller that Jake Roberts.
AND Hogan was taller than Hilbilly Jim???? Can't figure that one out. Hogan was without a doubt in my mind a legit 6'6" man up until 1990.

Danimal, that is very sad indeed. I heard about the jaw reconstruction, which was meant to help him talk better, awful news that it's done the exact opposite. I hope he pulls through.
Agree on Flair too, he's clearly shorter than Shawn Michaels these days so he's definitely no taller than 5'10".

Danimal, is that true about Heenan? Man, that really sucks if it is.
He was doing much better last time I heard. Poor guy has been through so much over the past few years.
Apparently they had to RE-CONSTRUCT his entire jaw and he developed an MAJOR infection in the area and his jaw collapsed on him and he no longer is able to talk at all and is in the hosiptal. VERY SAD.
Flair is MAX 5'10" today. Was 5'11"-6'0" in his prime.

Super dave was 6'4. Dave has tennis shoes on and Hogan has mega boots on(check out when he is doing the hand to ear thing)Hogan only has about a inch+ on Dave even though he has at least a 2 inch shoe advantage. Hogan was about 6'3.5 at this point and about 6'5.5 with the boots. He would have been at best the same height as Dave with equal footware and maybe a shade shorter.

You all are definitely on something. Yes we all know that sometimes wrestlers heights get exaggerated, especially in the case of Giants like Andre. Andre was however no less than 7'2" at any time in his career, and Hogan had to be at least 6'7" in his younger days. See, I stood next to both of them and saw how they towered over 6'2" people next to them. Hulk still is at least 6'5-6'6". As for exaggerating, they used to list him at 6'9", and Andre at 7'5". As for Nash and Show they are both legit 7' tall, just look up Nash's basketball stats. So please people, stop trying to tear down people out of jealousy or whatever it is that motivates you all to post these ridiculous lies. As for photos etc, people of any height can appear up to 6" shorter just by bending their knees or leaning to one side. Did any of you so called "height experts" ever realize that? Peace brothers.

Yes Hugh, Hogan was really only 6'3.5" tall in his prime. The fact that he was 5-6" taller than 6'1" Richard Beltzer, 2" shorter than 6'7"-6'8" Ben Davidson, 2" taller than 6'4" King Kong Bundy, 2" taller than 6'4" Jesse Ventura, 1" taller than 6'5" Hilbily Jim and taller than 6'5" Jake The Snake Roberts, as well as having had about 4-5" on a PEAK Vince McMahon should NOT be looked at. It's all one big trick HUGH...ANYWAYS.......................................
If anyone wants to see his TRUE height loss, go onto Hilbilly Jim's website and look at his 2 pics with him and Hilbilly Jim from 1985 and 1989 where he was taller than Hilbilly and then look at the one from 2005 where Hogan is 2" SHORTER than Hilbilly.

please look at the clip at youtube when Hulk Hogan fights the Giant at Superbrawl. when paul Wight gives Hogan a standing bear hug he just looks at most 3 inches taller and that gives Hogan a legit 6'6 if paul Wight is a real 7 footer.. search for superbrawl VI hulk hogan vs Giant Part 2 ( the time is 4:50...i think Hogan was at least 6'5 at his peak and maybe 6'55

Hogan has almost an inch on the rock who stated his height as 6'4". So Hogan could be 6'4 1/2" nowadays.

I could live with 6'5.5" as a minimum for Hogan at his peak, but I will not rule out a full 6'6". Goes to show just how much height the man has lost over the years, seeing he looks to be MAX 6'3"-6'3.5" today.
Hogan can still look 6'4 these days, he was beasicly the same height as Conan O'Brien and David Hasselhoff.
I think he has lost MAX 2 inches. Especially since he always had the same height advantage over Mean Gene.

Lol that height comparison picture I saw is a bit odd. The girl is less than 5'7" as her head is tilted up, so a 5'7" to 6'0" comparison is deceptive. Nice camera trick though.

Hogan was no less than 6'5 peak but no more than 6'5.75. He was tall but at 6'5.75 he would be 6'8.25 in his boots and ducking through doorways and he just was not any taller than that. It's amazing they gave him 6'8 because he would be 6'10.5 in boots then and no way was he almost a 7 footer. He was 2+ inches shorter than an old 6'7-6'8 Ben Davidson! and 5+ inches shorter than a old 6'10ish Andre the giant. Legit 6'5.25-75 310 peak.

I think he was at least 6'5.5"-6'6" at his peak and weighed 305-330 pounds on the juice and at a taller height. Today, he is 6'3"-6'3.5" and probably weighs 260-265 pounds on the juice. When OFF the juice the man is 230 pounds (early-mid 1990's).

"NOT with experience about camera angles, look at 00:38 and imagine the cam would go leel with the top of their heads."
Instead of imagining the camera panning to the top of their heads, the objective here should be imagining the camera panning out to a full body shot including standing area. Impossible to do. We don't even know if the ground was level, much less stance, etc. What I also found interesting is that Grisham looked taller than Foley, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
I have a hard time seeing Snoop taller than Festus when he was only around 2" taller than Todd Grisham in that clip. Randy Orton usually looks close to 4" taller than Todd Grisham, does that mean Orton is 2" taller than Snoop and 2+" taller than Festus? Nope. Did Grisham forget to take off his shoes during the Snoop/Festus clip? Maybe, but we don't know.
What this all adds up to is that barring additional evidence, it is impossible to tell much if anything from that video.

Hogan was a weak 6'6 peak, and a weak 6'4 now. 6'5.5-6'5.75 310-315 peak, 6'3.5-6'3.75 275-280 now. I think he dipped under 270 when the big trial was going on.

Both Kane and Festus had large footwear when Festus was the fake Kane. So in other words: whatever their height difference was in their wrestling gear at the time I think is the same when they're barefoot.
Festus, my guess, is 6'4" - 6'5"

Revealing shots of HHH looking tall:
-2, 2.5 inches over both Shane and Vince Mcmahon on the red carpet
-Level with Vlad Kozlov
-Registering taller next to Khali than the likes of Batista do.
Red, did you even read what I said there? Im still with 6'2 for HHH, but under is just laughable.

Big Show + Hogan face to face 2007.
Hogan holds his own here. Certainly doesn't look 6"3. If Big Show is still 7"0 he's a solid 6"4 there with good posture. I still believe he's 6"4 if he stands up tall.

How is Triple H under 6'2 when he measures up next to basically EVERYONE like a 6'3-6'4 guy would. Not saying HHH is 6'3, but under 6'2 is absurd. Viper is gone, we dont need you riding his coat tails Danimal.

Oddly enough, Snoop only looks around 2" taller than Todd Grisham. Hard to tell anything between Snoop and Festus though, the angle is just too bad.
I would imagine Festus as around 2" on Snoop.

Festus doesn't look taller to me. He's closer to the camera, which makes it appear he's taller. However when Festus first appears in the clip you can see that Snoop Dog's shoulder level is much higher than Festus'. Not that means he's taller, but I think he is.

Have to admit I am very conufused how a father at peak 6'5.5" has a son who is only around 5'10". If his mother is quite a tall woman too, you expect him to tower above six feet. Wonder what happened there, has to be said can anybody say that Nick even remotely resembles his father?? He looks absolutely nothing like him!!! Most sons are bigger than their fathers or a similar height this one is 6 inches shorter!!

And there was me puzzled at how he could be 6'5". I thought hang on he just doesn't look it!!! I was watching Hogan KNows Best earlier and the guy just does not look THAT tall!! He could buy 6'4" maximum, difficult to judge because he is so huge, guys that broad tend to look shorter. I think you have him spot on here barefoot, 6'4.5" in shoes maybe. Must admit though looks a good 6'5" in the pic above perhaps he was that tall peak I don't know, never 6'7" c'mon thats silly.

You've got to be kidding me. Koslov was AT LEAST 2-3" taller than Triple H in a staredown I saw on Smackdown. Anything under 6'5 for Koslov is just upsurd...6'1 is beyond upsurd, it's just a joke.
Well whatever Smackdown episode you saw, it certainly wasn't anywere near 2-3 inches between those two in the video you mentioned.

The only time Kozlov had 2 inches on HHH in that staredown was when HHH was bending his head to his left. When HHH assumed a decent posture those 2 inches somehow disappear.
And how are those pics I've posted misleading. They're staredowns in the middle of the ring, nose to nose, eye to eye (including close-up pics). No camera advantage for either man. The only thing that can be argued about is how much height Kozlov is losing with his wider stance.
Guys like Edge, The Rock, Randy Orton had more height on Triple H than Kozlov does. He looks to be the same height as Batista.

I agree that it's beyond ridiculous to bill a 6'1 guy as 6'8. It's not like no one is going to notice this.
Kozlov looks the same height as Triple H in the several staredowns I've seen of them, but as hs2009 he does have a wider stance (although not that much).
I'm not sure how tall Festus is, but IIRC he was shorter than Snoop Dogg at last year's Wrestlemania.

Kozlov must be around 6'4, he looks easily taller next to Khali than HHH and Batista did.
Somehow they made HHH look almost as tall as Kozlov, but I think there is about 2 inches between them.
Yeah he may look taller next to Khali than HHH does, but he sure didn't look that much taller than HHH when he had a direct face-off with him.
I don't think they tried to make HHH taller there. I know it's the WWE we're talking about, who did some weird things in the past. But if they truly tried to make HHH taller than he really was, I suggest that instead of releasing wrestlers the WWE should do better in releasing it's entire creative team for making such a blooper.
HHH is a well established wrestler who doesn't need to try and win the support of the audience anymore. Kozlov on the other hand is new in the WWE and really isn't over with the crowd (yet). He's character is basically an indestructable bully and his size is an important asset to that character (the reason why he's billed at 6'8 and over 300 lbs). By making HHH taller it adds nothing to his character, yet could completely destroy Kozlov's character as he needs to look intimidating.

I have the issue, ive got a pic with me and flair (ive sent it to rob) and the difference is pretty much the same as hogan and flair in that pic, looks like 4 inches.
Its confused me because im 6'1 and if i were to go by that pic it would suggest hogan is 6'2 (which sounds ridiculous to me)
i met beefcake last year and he was 6'2 and hogans got height on him.
I think this site and all the pics and sightings only prove one thing... its very hard, nearly imposible to guage someones height without getting a tape measure out, getting their shoes off and measuring them yourself (even then there would be arguments about the tape measure being accurate)

James,
Austin had a serious neck injury in real life so the story line to give him an excuse to be out of wrestling for a year was the vehicular homicide. When he came back around a year later, the storyline continued with him looking for the driver with him promising not to press charges but just wanting to fight the guy. It turned out the driver was Rikishi, but Austin later found out that HHH I think hired Rikishi to do it. So he fueded with these two guys. Later on he and HHH became a tag team and even won the belts I think together. Something about Austin wanting someone as sadistic as HHH on his side. After this the WCW/ECW invasion storyline began and no one mentioned the vehicular homicide thing since like they were pretending it didn't happen.

That would make MVP 5ft11-6ft. What does that make Mr. Kennedy as MVP had about 2 inches on him in a staredown on Smackdown a few weeks ago. Kennedy would therefore be 5ft9-5ft10
i would want to see that mvp/kennedy segment again but i don't remember 2 inches in it, barely one inch if memory serves me correct, its the one with kennedy in the vip lounge
MVP walked past me in april, didn't look more than 6ft but he did look much much heavier in person than on tv, very bulky guy

Here it is. You might be right about that inch difference. From memory I thought it was more like a 2 inch difference. But after seeing this again it looks more like an inch difference. MVP indeed is a big guy, which becomes noticable when he removed his shirt.

austin had extensive neck surgery which kept him out for 10 months in late 1999, they used that rikishi car angle to cover up the fact that austin was hurting and hurting badly, they didn't want to make his character look weak so they had rikishi run over him with a car
that segment was pre-taped with a stuntman playing the part of austin i would assume

To be fair John Cena in terms of height can hold his own against some of those big wrestlers in the WWE ring.
Do you guys remember when the Undertaker I think in 1999 was joke slammed through the ring by the Big Show and didn't come back untill like what 2001 with a new look?
Also I am just curious I was only 10 when this event occured in the WWE and at that age I believed it was real what happend, but back in 1999/2000 did Stone Cold Steve Austin really get injured when he was hit down by a car and was out of wrestling for a quite a while?
hahahaha. NO.

Orton looks his billed height and mostly makes other wrestlers look ridiculous with their exaggerated heights. It will be funny if Orton has a staredown with Kozlov (billed at 6ft8 but closer to 6ft2). Orton also had Vince by about 4 inches last week on RAW.

6ft4 isn't really that tall in the WWE? Its more average for a wrestler right?
legit 6ft 4 barefoot is tall for wwe, looking at the roster only kane, taker, show, khali, jbl, mike knox, shad, dh smith, festus and Jack Swagger are at least 6ft4, thats 10 out of 65 male wrestlers on raw/smackdown/ecw. the average height of wwe stars these days is probably between 5'11 and 6'1

I can see Hogan being as low as 6'4 peak. He was always shorter than Studd by at least 2 inches, they even billed that as such with their respective heights. Studd's height has recently been exposed as being much more 6'6 than anything else. Even if you buy a 6'6.75 Studd you might be looking at a 6'4.75 peak Hogan.

No way Hogan was anything less tha 6'5 at his peak back in the late 70's-early 80's. From about 1977-1989 he was one of the tallest wrestlers, only in the 90's when some tall timber started to come along did he drop out of the upper echelon of tall wrestlers. Only a handfull of guys were any taller than him when he was real young, Mainly Studd & Andre and Studd was put at 6'10-6'11 so no way was he under 6'5+ maybe as much as 6'5.5-6'5.75. Don't think he quite a legit barefoot 6'6 though.

Apart from when he faced Andre and Sid Justice, Hogan has never stood up tall, but when he did against them he looked very tall.
Andre 6"10 - 5" = Hogan 6"5 (Andre may have been taller)
Sid 6"7 - 1.5" = Hogan 6"5.5
Even in 2007 he stood tall when he faced Khali he was hardly dwarfed. He was about 8" shorter than 7"1 Khali which equals 6"5!!!
Its not out of the realms of possibility than a fully stretched out Hogan could be 6"4 or so today. We just never see it due to posture.
Stand up tall Hulk!!

I remember with American Gladiators even the conetestant's heights were exaggerated. Leila Ali was one of the hosts at 5'10" and a lot of the guy contestents who were billed 5'10" were shorter than her. She could have worn heels but I don't recall that. But I think everyone on the show was exaggerated at around 1".

We can't see Jake's footwear in the pic with Hall (or their postures). He often wears cowboy boots. However, he looked a solid 6'4", if not a bit more, with Randy Orton. He's taller next to Mean Gene in that WM III clip than Hogan was, though Jake sometimes wore Kane-style footwear. IIRC, that former WWF official who used to post here (JimmyV) had Jake at around 6'4 or 6'4.5".

Hogan to this day is still billed as high as 6'7" although a 6'5" wrestling bill for him would be reasonable. I'm sure they will forever avoid mentioning his height as he's shrunk at least 2" since he stopped doing roids, and all the surgeries.

Actually scratch that I found it on Dailymotion. They're close, Hogan may actually have been a full inch taller, but it's hard to tell because Jake isn't standing up completely straight. Also can't see footwear. Look particularly at the 43 second mark.
Killer Kahn is in the video too. I had no idea how big he is. He's barefoot in the video and stacks up real well to both Jake and Hogan. Look at the 2min mark. He's got to be AT LEAST 6'5". Interestingly enough, I think he may have been billed 6'5".

Hogan was a realistic 6'6 320 back in about 1981(his biggest)I saw him stand next Reb Brown in a movie, who was a legit 6'4 guy who played football behind O.J. at USC and was little taller than Lou Ferrigno in a movie, and Hogan had about 2 inches on him. Now, would he grade out at say 6'5.75 and 315 at an NFL combine? probably, but most jocks are going to round up a least a little.
