Red... you do realize that the video is in regards to Tyson being SHORT? He is obviously, and undoubtedly 5'11", and if being measured barefoot in front of a unit stick with a relaxed posture doesn't cut it for you then nothing will change your mind. This isn't a matter of opinion, the fact is in front of you.
So you can't see his feet? Why would they measure him in shoes, or standing on stilts maybe, when the intention of the clip is to portray him as small as I already said. The camera is panning upwards looking forward. As in... there is no angle if you can't understand. You can't get more definitive so show me Tyson measured 5'10".
Your arrogance is appreciated, but Tyson HIMSELF claims to be 5'10". You can't get more definitive than that, can you? ;)

Holyfield looks 6'1.5" to 6'2" in the pic JT posted next to Wayne Gretzky.Who is often listed at 6'0",but having seen him next to many hockey players of known height appears to be 5'10.5" to 5'11" to me.

Hogan used to be billed at 6'4'' and on hogan knows best he said he was 6'4
WRONG. Hogan has never been billed at 6'6". In his early days he was billed at 6'9" (up until 1983) and then 6'8" up until 1993 and then at 6'7" up until present day. I have seen 6'6" listings of him scattered through people magazine and other articles over the years (late 80's/early 90's) when he was trying to make it as an actor. On Hogan knows best he claims he's 6'5". So, on all accounts you're wrong. Sorry.

In regards to boxing heights being inflated to the degree of pro wrestling, that's ridiculous. It isn't WWE. The most popular figures in the sport right now are small in stature. They aren't going to inflate 5'6.5" listed Pacquiao, or Cotto, Mayweather, Mosley, etc all of whom are under average height, around 147 pounds. The fact these small guys are popular in the first place distinguishes any necessity to make them seem like giant monsters, because obviously the fans don't care how tall they are.
The only 'height inflation' you will find is when height plays a significant role in their style; such as Paul Williams or Nicolai Valuev. Even then, it's rare and barefoot stare downs at pre-fight pressers offer the perfect benchmark to compare respective listed stats and see they are generally accurate. It isn't Don King, or Vince McMahon for that matter, who is billing these guys. They have their stats recorded by the athletic commission, or sometimes by the broadcast venue (eg. HBO). Discrepancy you might find will come from things like metric-imperial conversion, and shoes... and a very rare height inflation. Hell, 90% of the time, a boxers height isn't even announced when they are introduced, so unless finding their height is on your agenda you probably won't be aware of it. So why bother.

Goldberg isn't 6'2". Brock Lesnar is listed at 6'2" or 6'3" (NFL, and UFC), and probably lies somewhere in between. Say, 6'2.5", and Goldberg is around 0.5-1" taller than Brock. Goldberg is around 6'3" give or take. Hogan in WCW I would guess to have 1.5", or maybe 2" if he stretched himself right out.

Okay, well, it's confirmed, 6'4" Buster Douglas refereeing this Hogan/Savage match during Hogan's prime. When Buster Douglas raised Hogan's hand when he won the match, it forced Hogan to stand straight and sure enough, Hogan had 2" on 6'4" Douglas. You can look at 6:11, 8:30, 8:52. It's just obvious that peak Hogan was taller than the Douglas by a strong 2"+ Click Here

I saw Hogan with Goldberg in a WCW match around 1999 or 2000. They both looked the same height. So is Hogan really 6 ft 2 in ?

I'm looking at Hogan's weight. In 1982 Andre was getting 520-525 in the magazines and 500 ring weight. Now even if that was a bit high I'm sure he was in the 475-490 range. That's crazy Heavy. Hogan still looks meaty next to him, he's no stick figure, you have got to weigh a ton to size up well with a 500 pounder. I can see Hogan being 320+

If Hogan would get a physical exam today I bet he would get 6'4 275. Because he would be able to stand up straight for just those few seconds. The rest of the time his legs are so slouched because of his health that he gives the impresstion of a sub 6'3 man.

Hogan was preaty darn tall, remember, at worst Andre was almost as tall as Wilt Chamberlain. So if nothing else, Andre with cowboy boots on is a 7 footer. Hogan is Essentially standing next to Wilt Chamberlain in that 1982 photo. Hogan is not dwarfed by Andre he is mearly alot shorter, there is a big differnce. One has to be about 6'6 to not get dwarfed by a 7 footer. I've seen pictures of 6'3 Mohamad Ali with Wilt Chamberlain and he is dwarfed. Same thing with 6'2 Arnold Swartzenegger. Hogan was 6'6 peak, when he was in his 20's(probably still 28 in 1982)He has lost 2+ inches by age 55, 6'3.75-6'3 7/8.

Hogan never said Andre was 700 pounds. He was asked about slamming Andre and he said Andre was 520 pounds at the time but it felt like he was 700 pounds when he was slamming him because Andrew was so heavy.
On Jimmy Kimmel he actually says Andre was close to 700 lbs when he slammed him. You can find the interview on youtube.

I would appear to be in the minority but I am unimpresed by the height of Hogan and Andre in that 1982 photo. Hogan has sneakers on but they have big 1 inch heels and Andre has cowboy boots on and is leaning in, the fact that he is leaning in takes away all of the advantage of his boots and Hogan is still about 7 inches shorter. And you will never see a picture of Andres hair more slicked down, most of the time he had the big afro which gave him inches, like in his stairdowns with Wepner. In 1975 Chuck Wepner who was 6'5 stood TALLER to andre than Hogan does there, and in a still shot in cowboy boots, which would take him to about 6'7, he is about 2.5-3 inches taller than Hogan is, Wepner he is only about 4 inches shorter than Andre! That would put a peak Hogan at 6'4. Andre might have been as much as 6'11 in the 70's but by 1982, more 6'10.5.

That 1979 photo with dusty rohdes is the quintesential peak Andre picture. That is a standard door behind him 6'8, 2 inch frame 6'10, Andre has small heeled boots on but they still have to give him a half an inch. A bald Andre would go to about 6'11.5, but you take away the half inch for shoes and he's back down to 6'11. his hair gives him 2 inches so I say 7'1.5 with the hair and the boots, 6'11 barefoot and haircut, so 6'11.5 standing straight, only a little hair is SPOT ON. Cowboy boots would give him another 1.5 inch- 7'3 tops with all kinds of hair and cowboy boots.

Hogan is delusional, he always exzagerates, Andre 700 pounds, he even says that he is STILL 6'5 285. Does anybody think he is 6'5 now? He was 6'5 300 peak 1978, 25 yr old. and about 6'3 270 now. If he thinks he's 6'5 now then you can see that he thought he was 6'7 330 back when.

Bossman was 6'4". At worst 6'3" and a change. Hogan was OVER 6'5" in the late 80's Ola and Hogan had MAX 2" on Bossman, who was billed at 6'6" and 6'7".

Bossman was 6'4". At worst 6'3" and a change. Hogan was OVER 6'5" in the late 80's Ola and Hogan had MAX 2" on Bossman, who was billed at 6'6" and 6'7".

Check at 11 secs on that video of Bossman & Vinny Jones. Bossman looks about 2.5" taller when he stands up straight.

Bossman does look 2 inches taller than vinnie jones, lets not forget he has his head down so it may look less than that.

Well, to be honest the camera angle is pretty bad in that "staredown".

Hogan does look the same height as Studd in that staredown.But there is a match that Hogan has with Studd on his 3 dvd set,where it starts raining and Studd looks to have almost an inch on Hogan during parts of the match.And that seems to be the case the other times I`ve seen them wrestle.But I agree,Hogan may have topped out at 6'6" and Studd maybe 6'6.75".

Here we have what looks like an official staredown with Hogan and John Studd in the early 80's (Hogan's PEAK) and it seems like they are the EXACT same height. It's in the first 2 seconds. Someone get a freeze frame. That was a minimum 6'6" Hogan at that point. Click Here

I met the Big Bossman backstage at a Monday Night Raw in Buffalo, NY in 1999. I was only twelve at the time, so I was about 5'9 and my memory could be exaggerating due to my young age at the time, but I remember Bossman being about eight to ten inches taller than me. My oldest brother who was 20 at the time, said recently that Bossman was like 6'8. Now I know he was really only about 6'5-6'6, but when you look at photos and videos of Hogan standing next to Bossman, Hogan was easily at least an inch taller than him.
Oh, and I honestly just remembered this, but my tenth grade football coach/ gym teacher met Hogan in 2002 at Linda Hogan's bar in Tampa. Me being a wrestling fan, I was talking to him about it on the way to the field house one day and I specifically asked him how big he was was. He said that Hogan was about 6'6. Now, Hogan has EASILY lost about two inches on his height since his knee surgery, (just look at him here against Kevin Nash in '99. He's not that much shorter than him. Click Here). As I was saying, Hogan definitely has lost a couple inches on his height, so even if my gym teacher was wrong and Hogan was only 6'5, or even 6'4 for that matter, that'd put Hogan at at least 6'6 in his prime.

Is it possible Hogan was only 6ft5 at peak and near 6ft7 in boots? Rob's listing of 6ft3.5 today seems really accurate, but his peak height seems a bit high! He does look a good 7" taller then Greg in the above pic, but I'm curious as to what kind of footwear he had on.
How much lift do wrestlers boots give?

Hogan was 6'8 in his big 2.5 inch heal cowboy boots. He was 6'5.5 peak. anybody who has seen a 6'5.5 guy in big cowboy boots knows how he is going to tower over everybody just like hogan did. He is still 6'4 today in the once in blue moon that he actually stands up straight for 10 seconds. His legs are so shot that he shuffles around like a geiser most of the time and gives the appearence of a barely 6'3 guy. He has really only lost a beleivable 1.5 inch over all the years. The man did not go from 6'7 to 6'3 from 1991 to 2005

This may be off topic but I saw something very interesting.
Here's an interesting video where Hogan's arms are 24 inches Click Here . The tape measure does not lie. Or does it? Notice that the lady has one arm behind the arm. The arm measures 24 inches exactly. Look at the video as the arm and the tape measure are separated. It appears that there was more tape behind the bicep than the front. Could some of the tape that was used to measure have been palmed by the assistant

Is there a reason the WWF started with Hogan's Ankles and not his feet when showing Hogan's height in the empty arena in this video? Click Here Could it be because Hogan is standing on something to make him look a foot taller than Vince? If you notice, he really does not move from that spot. He just turns and poses. The WWE has already admitted to doing that with tallent in order to make them seem taller.

Most peope want Hogan to be max 6'5 peak because it is hard to understand where that height loss came from. But watching that Belzer video provides evidence that Hogan was 6'6 or sighty over in his prime.

Spot on Daminal, I believe Hogan was 6"5.5 or close to 6"6 or at his peak up until around 1988. 6"5 in the early 90's (gradual height loss throughout the 90's down to 6"4.5 and massive height loss from 1998-1999 onwards to below 6"4.
Today he could be anywhere between 6"3 and 6"4.
You have your dates wrong Miko (I do appreciate the energy though).
PEAK height of around 6'6" (could have been between 6'5.5"-6'6.25) up until 1990.
Height loss in 1990 of 1.25" (according to the man himself...back surgery), reducing him to 6'4.25"-6'5", which I believe he remained all the way until 2000, even though he did have kneecap replacement in the late 1990's.
2001-Present - Looked to have dropped down to 6'3.25" (hip replacement, neck fusion, back surgery) and has been struggling to stay that height.

the finch video totally rules out anything in the 6ft2 range now for hogan and rules out 6ft 3 flat too, if she is a legit 6ft barefoot then she would be no less than 6ft 1 in those sneakers and he has no less than 2.5 inches on her basically barefoot (those flip-flops he wears give about 1/4 of an inch max)
finch looked slightly taller next to 6ft 5.5 peyton manning at the ESPYs a few years ago than she does next to hogan on that video but she was in heels next to manning of course
glenn was dwarfed by finch in a photo and he only looked an inch shorter than belzer, belzers posture has always been poor though

The question is how tall is Flair? I'd put him at perhaps 5"11, which would equal a 6"4 Hogan.

We all look at the same pics and in this case the same video of Hulk and Jennie Finch yet the estimates are still different. We have barely 6'3 to 6'4. If Finch is 6 feet then Hulk is 6'3.5-4 no less. She isn't any higher than his eyebrows if you can't see that you are blind and dumb.

I cannot believe how acurate you can all claim to be from distant pictures and videos. None of you seem to be the least bit aware that camera angles greatly change the appearance of difference in height. If you look closely at the Elen show, the girl at first looks at least a half foot shorter than Hogan until they start shooting from the side at a distance. Hogan has made numerous public appearances over the years, and sorry but Rodman is 6'9", so if Hogan looks 2" shorter then that makes him 6'7". As for his statements, Hogan says a ton of off the cuff crap when in character but stop trying to tear down the legend. Hogan was being billed as 6'9" when he was younger, and as nearly 7' in the rocky film. Hulk was indeed 6'7-6'8" and now stands around 6'6" when he is not bending his knees or leaning forward. I have seen numerous shows and interviews where he towers over 6'3-6'4" tall actors so stop with the crap already.

You can see that Hogan's legs are shorter (hips are like a 13 year old boy's now) and his neck is shorter too).
and yet his jeans from the 1980s fitted perfectly on a episode of hogans know best, btw he ain't no former wrestler he is available to take bookings but nobody only wwe can afford him
finch has a 1 inch footwear advantage given she is wearing sneakers and he is in flip-flops like these Click Here hogan is basically barefoot there and still has her by over 3 inches easy
hard to believe 20 years ago hogan would have wore his biggest 2+ inch cowboys on that show, today he comes out barefoot

Hogan DWARFED the 6'1" Richard Beltzer in March 1985 and Hogan wore similar footwear back then (ballet slippers) compared to Beltzer's dress shoes. Compare how her towered Beltzer and doesn't come close to towering Finch who is of similar height to Beltzer. THAT IS proof of his height loss: Click Here

Just saw Hogan on some celebrity wrestling show of his and Dennis Rodman stood behind him with at least a 3 inch height advantage. I am under the impression Rodman is maybe 6'6" plus.... making the Hulk in the 6'3" plus range. It really surprised me to see the two together and the marked difference in height.

If she is really 6"0, Hogan could still be pushing 6"4. But 6"3.5 seems fair.
Do doubts a 1985 Hogan in cowboy boots would have towered her at 6"7 (in boots).

A young Hogan would have about a half a foot on Jennie Finch. You can see that Hogan's legs are shorter (hips are like a 13 year old boy's now) and his neck is shorter too). I say he is hovering around 6'3" today. Close to 3" height loss for the 55 year old former wrestler.

If you crunch all the numbers it's just what you might think for peak, throw out anything over 6'6 and throw out anything under 6'5. 6'5.5 give or take .25 inch. 6'5.5 is really tall for someone who has a body builder type physique and is 300 pounds that's still the size of NFL linemen who are not fat. So Hogan was kinda off the charts huge back in about 1978 or so when he was just starting out. It would also take him to about 6'7.75 in those yabaho cowboy boots that they wore, which is where the 6'8 came from. You would'nt know it now but Hogan lived in those boots outside the ring in the 80's and early-mid 90's. I think he is still 6'3.75 now, realistic 1.25-1.75 inch height loss. He never where's the boots anymore, I bet it's doctor's orders with his physical conditions, might as well have ice skates on. I bet he would have the look of a 6'5+ guy comming at you if he had them on. Nowadays it seems like all the wrestlers are HUGE, but back in Hogans day you could not swing a dead cat without hitting a 5'11-6'0 230 guy and that was with a beer gut, so Hogan looked like a giant. Hogan would be way bigger than billed 6'5 280 jesse Ventura and billed 6'2 260 Paul Orendorff and we see now that those guys went into the hall of fame at 6'2 245 and 5'11 245. Hogan, 6'6 275, the champ I think got to round up.

HBK was billed at 6'1" back in the 1980's also. He may have had some 5'11" listings, but I only ever saw him at 6'1".
Matt & Jeff Hardy were also both billed at 5'11" on occasion in the past, but they are both clearly taller than that so I don't buy HBK at MAX 5'11" peak since he was only 1" shorter than 6'1" Stone Cold.

He was about the same height as 6-5 Lister, he was shorter than 6-5.75 Earthquake, he was about an inch taller than 6-4 football players etc...

I tend to agree with topdweeb, I just haven't seen enough evidence to put him at 6-6. 6-5.5 is the absolute most I could buy at this point without seeing more evidence. So I'll stick with a solid 6-5 for the Hulkster's peak height.

Ben Davidson was about 6'7.5 given the fact he was jockied back and fourth between 6'8 and 6'7 his entire carear. Maybe 6'8 in 1964, but no more than 6'7.5 in 1984. I give Sid Eudy about 6'7, he was almost the same amount taller than Hogan as Davidson was, but not quite. I give Hogan about 6'5.25 peak which he still was in the 1984 picture with Davidson. I can see Hogan being a flat 6'5 by his 1992 stairdowns with Sid.

Nothing to buy. Him standing next to Vince in the 1980's versus the 2000's is proof enough. Then we have him next to Brutus Beefcake in the 70's/80's and today. Then we have him next to Inoki, Hillbilly Jim, Piper and the list invariably goes on. The man has lost close to 3" without a doubt. When you have hip replacement they actually cut away a part of your thighs bone. Same goes for knee replacement. Back surgery and neck surgery, they fuse bone together, PLUS, he is 55 too, so age also catches up. The man was 6'6" and is barely over a flat 6'3" today.

Nothing to buy. Him standing next to Vince in the 1980's versus the 2000's is proof enough. Then we have him next to Brutus Beefcake in the 70's/80's and today. Then we have him next to Inoki, Hillbilly Jim, Piper and the list invariably goes on. The man has lost close to 3" without a doubt. When you have hip replacement they actually cut away a part of your thighs bone. Same goes for knee replacement. Back surgery and neck surgery, they fuse bone together, PLUS, he is 55 too, so age also catches up. The man was 6'6" and is barely over a flat 6'3" today.

Hogan's peak was more closer to 6'6. At least 6'5 1/2 and today he looks no more than 6'3.

hogan at 6'4 peak is too low imo, i don't think he was under 6'5 back in the day
he can still look 6'4 today if he straightens his posture which is awful at this stage (we know he can attain great posture as we saw on conan earlier this year) he has terrible posture here but still dwarfs his daughter whom some people think is 6ft :) Click Here

Danimal, how much do u think scott norton weighs? compare with vader Click Here
About 315-320 pounds in that match. He was about 340 in the WCW. He reminds me of Bill Zamaier (3 time world strongest man) who weighed between 315-350 pounds. Vader was around 405-410 at his largest and 360 pounds at his lightest.

topdweeb, I'm not being sarcastic in saying this, but do you honestly feel that Hogan has only lost 1/2" in height? If you think he was only 6-4 peak, what do you peg him at now? Personally, I feel he was closer to 6-5 peak, and has "shrunk" down to 6-3.5 now. That's only 1.5" of height loss, which is not hard to fathom for the Hulkster IMHO.

He has the surgical knife to blame for his height loss. Actually, it's because of wrestling that he required back surgery, knee replacement(s), hip replacement and neck fusion (ALL by 50 years old).

Since I started posting on here a few years ago, I have changed my opinion on Hogan's height. I now believe he was about 6-5 peak and 6-3.5 now. I used to give him 6-6, but his footwear gave him an edge. He was not taller than Tiny Lister, who is 6-5. The 6-6 listing for Lister was no doubt in his shoes. I cannot accept 6-4 for his peak however. I cannot fathom him only losing .5", and also the 3" height loss for ME is simply not believable as well. I am pretty confident now that he was about 6-5 and now is about 6-3.5, seeing as how he has about 5" on his 5-10.5 daughter.

No way was Hogan a legit barefoot 6'7. If he was do you think that the wrestling biz of the 70's and 80's would have only billed him as 6'8 and 6'7! of course not, they would have given him at least 6'11 if not more, heck, he would have been about 6'9.5 in the big boots. Look at Tiny Lister, 6'6 in the NBA and soon as he got into wrestling 6'11. Studd got 6'11, do you really think he was 6'10. He almost staired 6'5 Fralic eye to eye. 7'5 Andre, not even as tall as 7'0.5 Wilt(7'1 peak). Hogan was about 6'5+ tops, and 6'7.5 in the big boots. And I'm not just bashing him, unlike alot of people I think he is about 6'3.75 today, a not outragous 1.25 inch loss by age 55. A bald man is always going to have a greater sense of height loss from his hair filled youth.
SInce Zeus has a legitimate 6'6 listing and since we have seen Hogan and Zeus in the ring together and they look the same height(despite Hogan having a smaller heel) I think we can conclude that Hogan was also a good 6'6 and perhaps slightly over. Please do remember that not every wrestler is significantly overbilled. Hogan's height was definetly exaggerated but not to the extent of other wrestlers. Now he still looks a good 6'4 to me.

I think that fact that Hogan is consistent in height with Mean Gene and Piper over the last 20 years says quite a bit. I have no doubt that all three men have shrunk over the years if for no other reason, then because of age. But I also find it odd that people are claiming that Hogan has had more than the usual amount of height loss due to surgeries. Because if that's true, then Mean Gene and Piper must have had more than the usual amount of height loss as well. That is way too coincidental in my view.
Tuga: you say your pic was pretty recent, well so was JT's, the latest one on his montage was from 2005. Unless Hogan just lost even more height in the last 3 years, I see no reason to take that pic over all the other JT posted. Your pic they are so close to being the same different as in JT's pics, that I can easily say it was because Gene was slightly closer to the camera, Hogan wasn't standing as straight, or whatever else.

Well, once again, JT posted pics of early Hogan and Piper pics and more recent ones and the differences are the same. I'm having serious doubts that he has lost even 2 inches of height.
Tuga: you said you posted recent pics, well so was JT's montage of him and Gene, back in 2005, and the difference was about the same was it was in the 80's. At any given angle, change in posture, etc people can look taller or shorter at certain moments. But that Hogan looks consistent with Piper should say something.
I am starting to think that Hogan was 6' 4 max and probably just wore lifts or something when he was younger to give himself the 6' 6 height.

Ghost says on 16/Nov/08
Those who say Hogan has lost 3 inches or even more, I would love to hear you explain the last comparison montage JT posted.
I believe he lost most probably only 2 inches, I would also love for you to show me a recent video or pic where hogan towers someone around 6'2 like he did next to inoki...
Ola says on 15/Nov/08
tuga yes it is maybe possible after all that hogan lost height, especially in comparison next to inoki in the video and photo
Ola, nice to see you

JT: kinda odd, if Hogan lost any height, then Gene must have been shrinking at the exact same rate..

I will say this though, when he wrestled the Undertaker back in the early 90's, the Undertaker only had like an inch on him. I know this for sure because I have a match between the two on my computer, where Hogan defeats him to regain the WWF title. And I don't think the Undertaker is any less than 6' 7 so Hogan had to be around 6' 6 at the time.
they never stand side by side or have a staredown in either of those matches so none of us know for sure, however this is much better evidence, keep in mind taker edged out sid Click Here Click Here

I agree, i myself am a stark raving hulkamanic and ive see hulks height loss through the years.
Its just hard to explain where the height loss came from and what caused it, ive checked hip replacement and that doesnt cause mach (unless its badly done)
And i can find no legit evidence of back surgery.
From the late 70's onward hulk seems to have lost height, on this page alone there is enough photo and video evidence for evryone to see.
Hulks hieght loss is huge! he 'could' have been 6'7 at one time (im not saying he was, just that its possible) and even though i hate to say it he 'could' be below 6'3 now.
I met brutus beefcake early this year and he was around 6'2, Hogan looks no more then an inch taller on celebrity wrestling.
He looks to have lost 3 inches for no reason other then age..

Topweed, taker had more than 1 inch on hogan, sid had 2 1/2 on hogan and taker is a little taller, I also have all their matches and I do agree hogan holds his own well despite being shorter, but taker is slouching all the time...
Hogan was still around 6'5 1/2 at the time I believe.

Danimal: I was/am the type of wrestling fan that would love to believe kayfabe. I think that's part of the fun of pro-wrestling. I remember it took me a long time to finally admit that Andre can't be 7' 4 even though deep down I knew it. So if I am bias, it is definitely going to be in favor for Hogan. I want to believe that at one point he was close to his billed 6' 8. And perhaps he was close to it. But with Hogan, it just seems like at times he looks huge, but at other times he doesn't. I will say this though, when he wrestled the Undertaker back in the early 90's, the Undertaker only had like an inch on him.

Hogans height is so confusing, He used to be far taller then Beefcake and now there seems to be hardly anything in it, Did hogan have back surgery? does hip replacement cause height loss? It does seem that tall guys loose more height (David prowse eg) but hogan really does seem to be the incredible shrinking man.. Click Here Click Here

Ghost: I wouldn't put it past him either... I've never heard anyone exaggerate as much as he does. I mean, I've heard of sticking to kayfabe, but what Hogan says is just simply outrageous. I don't see how he can insist that Andre drinking 108 beers in a single hour is a true story and still keep a straight face.

If Hogan can't be trusted, then I don't see any reason to believe him when he says he used to be taller than he is now.
He doesn't have to say it, because it is OBVIOUS to the naked eye Topweed. You've been on here long enough to have scene the evidence for yourself. Anyways, Hogan is always trying to make things seem BIGGER than they actually are, why go out of his way to let people that he is 3" smaller today than he used to be?????? Again. he doesn't have to say it. We SEE it with our very own eyes, unless you we are biased ;).
Exaggerating his height loss sounds to me like something Hogan would do. He probably wants to keep the image of him having been a 6'8, 330 lbs giant in the 80s. Since he is no more than 6'4 now, maybe even less, most people aren't probably that impressed by his height today, so his trying to convince people that he really was 6'8-6'7 in his prime.

Whats Funny with the Kimmel Show Hogan said that it was the first time Andre has been Body slammed mean while Hogan Body Slammed him in the later 70's
No you cant believe what Hogan says
Hogan was probably still trying to preserve the kayfabe of the Hogan/Andre match at Wrestlemania III, where they said it was the first time Andre was pinned and slammed. And they made it sound back then if it were the first time Hogan and Andre stood in the ring opposite of each other.
The worst thing Hogan ever said imo, was in MTV cribs, where he showed his yellow wrestling boots. He said he wrestled Andre in those boots. I can't remember his exact words, but it was something like: a few weeks later Andre passed away. I thought that was a bit disrespectful towards Andre. The last time Andre and Hogan wrestled each other, was I believe in 1988 or 1989 (3 or 4 years before Andre's death).
Same thing was said about Andre on Andre's biography on A&E when Hogan was speaking about their WMIII match and saying that little did I know that Andre died shortly after that match. Try close to 6 years.

I think Hulk was 6'5.5" at his peak & about 6'3.5" today. There's no denying his height loss I'm afraid, but I'm not sure I believe most of it occured in 1990.
It didn't. It apparently STARTED in 1990, consisting of a 1.25" height loss, reducing him to just under 6'5". I believe he stayed that height until 2000. POST 2000 he lost at least another 1.5", which was SOOOOOOO evident upon his return to the WWF in 2002. He was barely taller than MAX 6'3" Rock, whereby 15 years earlier he had 2" on 6'4" Jesse Ventura, 2" on 6'4" King Kong Bundy, 1" on 6'5" HBJ, etc.....

Based on your prior posts, we can conclude that you're lying because YOU DO CARE about Greg's height.
Ola says on 4/Aug/08
cb.2978, hogan is much more than 5 inches taller than greg in that pic. imo atleast 7 therefore greg cant be close to any 6ft (imo) i pin him at tops 5'9
Ola says on 8/Sep/08
This is lou at age of around 40 and around 320 lbs: Click Here
THATS a legit 23 inch arm right there.... and if Atoadaso says ronnie coleman didnt even have 23, how in the heck can hogan have 22 then?! imo hogan wouldnt even have had over 15. but lets be logical, if Lou had 22-23 then hogan maybe had 19-20 or so. a peak ferrigno would have dwarf hogan when you want at any time, Red: i can give him 270 lbs there tops, since he looked bigger in 1987. you clearly dont understand weight, hogan gives the illusional of being bigger in 1979 since his waist are thinner compared to his chest. Later he would gain more weight around his waist for example in 1987
my estimations of hogan:
1979 260-270 lbs
1987 270-275 lbb
Jason, or... this "greg" isnt taller than maybe 5'8 or so which i believe he isnt either. he looks more like 5'6 to me

and hogan is ATLEAST 7 inches taller than greg, my money would be on 8 inches. i said from the very beginning that this greg was/is nothing over 5'10. now, i doubt he's even 5'8

Hogan's height definitely is weird. If that guy in the photo with him is really that tall, then Hogan definitely looks like he is around 6' 7. I just don't know what to think. If Hogan's peak height is really 6' 4ish, then that really makes me wonder even more about Andre the Giant since he didn't ever seem to be that much taller than Hogan. Big Show today has more height on Hogan than Andre did. But regardless of whether or not Hogan has had surgeries that took 3+ inches off of his height, I'm sure it's safe to say that he has shrunk just by the normal aging process. People do naturally shrink a little as they get older and with the type of profession Hogan is in, I wouldn't be surprised if it is more than the average person.

Hmmm... 22" biceps? I don't know, that was Schwarzenegger's peak bicep size and his arms looked bigger than Hogan's to me.
You have to take a couple things into consideration when comparing Hogan's arms to Arnold's. 22" arms that are CUT will look bigger than 22" arms of BULK, especially on a shorter man (not that Arnold was short, but compared to a peak Hogan he was probably about 4" shorter).

Hey, what do you guys think of Hulk's supposed 24" biceps? I don't think they are 24 inches and what's weird is his biceps seem more defined now than they do when he was in his prime. But I am thinking his biceps are really more like 18-20 inches.
topdweeb: I believe Hogan had about 22" peak biceps, and 20" now. He had them measured on tv recently on the Rachael Ray show and they were 20". 18" is too low, as even my arms are bigger than that (granted I weigh more than the Hulkster lol).

Peak biceps - 22"

They are more defined today and have been since he was in the NWO. Hogan had a lot higher bodyfat count up until the early 90's.
Red, I was NOT the only one who used to discuss the 1990 height loss claim. I have been on here for 4 years. I was one of the very first guys to post on this page, along with Andre's, when NO OTHER WRESTLING page existed on this site. Cut it out with the name calling. It is childish. Thank you.

Hey, what do you guys think of Hulk's supposed 24" biceps? I don't think they are 24 inches and what's weird is his biceps seem more defined now than they do when he was in his prime. But I am thinking his biceps are really more like 18-20 inches.
Peak biceps - 22"
Present - 20"

Ola,
One pic from a bad angle is better proof than a legit listing from a sport in which every contestant is measured? Sumo is no WWE, you know.
Tenta was 6'5,75. That's a fact. Everybody can look shorter or taller on videos and pictures but that's Tenta's legit, measured height. He is one of the few wrestlers we can be absolutely sure about.

Regarding this video from WCW 1998 (Click Here):
It should be noted that in the full-length version of this video, you can see Warrior was wearing a cowboy-type boot and Hogan was in his ring boots. Warrior's posture was impeccable; Hogan's was terrible, with his hunched shoulders and bent knees. If Hogan assumed Warrior's posture, he'd gain 2 inches.
Also, it's been one week:
ernie arfenfarker says on 3/Nov/08
No, Ola, you're not getting off that easy. On September 8, 2008, you said Greg looked "more like 5'6" to me". If Greg were to pose for a picture, what measuring unit (cinder blocks, a yard stick, a car, etc.) should he stand by to accurately prove his height? Would you believe ANYTHING you saw regarding Greg's height???

Aww good pic provided by Ola of Hogan vs. Warrior back in 1998... and that's about the same height difference Hogan had on Warrior back in 1990. So again, I don't what to make of Hogan and his height.
Fact of the matter is, Hogan lost 1.25" of height reducing him from 6'6" to 6'4.75" in 1990. NOW, it is hard to tell, because he was STILL a tall man and I believe he stayed that height up until 2000. It was THEN that he began to lose some serious height, because you can compare 2000 Hogan to 2002 Hogan (his comeback to the WWE) and you will see a drastic change in his neck length, back posture, knee posture and overall height. I believe he lost even more height in 2004-2005 when he had hip replacement, which involves cutting away at part of the leg bone. The man is lucky if he is over 6'3" today and if he is, it is marginal.

Yeah based on that video, I would have to agree that Hogan looks to be around 6' 6 or 6' 7 if Vince is 6' 1 or 6' 2. Vince isn't barefooted. I don't know what to believe about Hogan though. At times he seems really tall, and at other times not so much. Didn't he only have a couple inches on the Ultimate Warrior who is only like 6'?
Warrior was not only 6'0????? Besides, watch Warriors comeback in 1998 in the WCW versus Hogan. There was WAY more than 2" there and at that time I believe that Hogan was about 6'4 3/4".

Yes, Hogan looked huge in his younger days before his surgeries. Nowadays he doesn't look so tall but he's at least 6'4" and that is where tall starts.

warriors 6'1.5 at the moment, so he was prob a little taller in 1990. hulk was prob 6'5 in 90 but i would say he seems to have lost height through the 80's.
I could see a peak height between 6'6 and 6'7

I know he's tall. When he was next to ellen he was about 25cm taller than her. He's 6 foot 3 max. He was slightly taller than katy fisher who plays softball and is the pitcher. He made wrestling great.

Nice find, hogan was huge and had a 6'6 frame to carry it, there was a time where he actually was a little bit fat with a big belly and all, so 360 lbs was a legit possibility.
Anyone who goes to gyms knows how heavy some guys are, I know 5

WOW, so Hogan when billed at 302-303 was really 320 pounds and was really 360 pounds when billed at 320 pounds the late 70's/early 80's. This guy sounds legit. In Hogan's book he states that he went up to 340-350 pounds. I believe him. Minimum 330 pounds. Ferrigno did it in 1993 at 43 years old. I'm sure Hogan did it as well, seeing he also carried fat along with the muscle.

there is a backstage interview with hogan and vince in 1989 and hogan only has vince by 3 inches max then, those massive cowboy boots and internal lifts he wore back in the day made him look much taller
Then check him out in ballet shoes having 5" on a talk show with that New Yorker who later went on to Law and Order. That thin talk show host was a legit 6'1". He was wearing dress shoes and Hogan in ballet slippers had him by 5". It's on youtube. His name now escapes me. He's a New Yorker.

I agree these Wrestlers wear Cowboy boots with a Big Heel plus an internal lift
I seen Tatanka look 5ft 9 in sneakers and look alittle over 6ft in cowboy boots
Macho Man, Hogan all did the same thing..Also i met Todd Pettengil he use to work for the WWF and he looked 5ft 7 to 5ft 8 and when he used to interview wrestlers he looked about 5ft 11 in boots

OOFatman, ok lets say slightly over 4... between 4-5! but this heels is huge as even you pointed out. 3 inches between them barefooted still, imo
Ola: here's how I see it. Whether you admit it or not, Hogan had Vince by at least 5" there if not 5.5" if he would have stood straight. His boots looked to have had a 2.5" heel. You figure Vince had normal 1" to 1.5" heeled dress shoes on, thus, Hogan had about a 1" to 1.5" height advantage imo, bringing his barefoot height over Vince about 4". Remember, just because you have on 2.5" heels on, doesn't mean they give you an actual 2.5" over your barefoot height. I personally don't think Vince was over 6-1, so you have about a 6-5 Hogan there in 1990.
