Dennis said he's 6ft 6
Correct, I remember him saying that, when he was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. They were talking about Rodman's wrestling stint in WCW. Jay Leno said that one wrestler made Rodman look like a little baby. That wrestler was of course The Giant (Big Show). Rodman said The Giant was 7'2 and he was about 6'6. I think Rodman is one of the few people who downgrades his own height, as he looks taller to me than 6'6. He had Hogan by about 3 inches and I don't think Hogan was anything below 6'4 at that point.

Theres a video of Hulk Hogan and Dennis Rodman during some wrestling thing and they were both by a podium and Dennis toward over him, and Dennis is suposdley 6'8 but Im not sure if he was measured in shoes or not, so Id give Hogan as his peak height around 6'4.
Here we go again, another random judgement of Hogan from his wcw days, try 15 years previous, THAT was his peak.

I wouldnt give hogan 6'6''. I think 6'5.5'' sounds perfect. Then ofcourse you have his wrestling boots. Which would put him at exactly 6'6'' if not more. Hogan is a big man. Ah well,who am i kidding, like i can see the difference between 6'5.5'' and 6'6'' = /.
MK said on 17/Jun/08
6'5'' peak Hogan does'nt fall too far out of range considering most people on here(and we all know who WONT) will believe it to be just under 6'6'' or just over 6'5.5'', and its not hard to see given the different pics/vids/angles we've seen over a 30 year period. That being said, anything LESS than 6'5'' peak for Hogan is just ludicrous.
btw welcome back there folks ;)
KingNick said on 14/Jun/08
JT, nice pics there with Hogan and the football player. They look about the same height to me. I always thought Hogan was 6'6" peak but I'd be willing to believe 6'5". He's definitely not more than 6'3.5" now, maybe even less.
Alex2 said on 14/Jun/08
I still think 6'5" is rediculous for a PEAK Hogan, 6'6" minimum, look at him with Andre!
BIG AL said on 11/Jun/08
I idolised hogan as a kid during the 80s, thought he was around 6'8. After looking at all the evidence on this sight and knowing how wrestling stats are prone to exageration, I think the tallest Hogan ever was was 6'5''. Today 6'3.5' sounds about right. If Hogan peaked at 6'5'' I really can't see Andre ever being taller than 6'10''. I met Davey Boy Smith in England in 1991. Lovely guy, surprised at how short he was, certainly no more than 5'10''. My other 'real height' estimates for the wrestling stars of the 80s would be... Superfly - 5'11'' Piper- 6'0'', Mr. Perfect 6'1'', Rick Rude 6'2'', Ted Dibiase 6'2.5" Jake the Snake 6'4", Kamala 6'4'', Big John Studd 6'6.5''

Look at their match at the Survivor series and Tuesday in Texas when taker was in his prime .
He had no more than 3 inches on Hogan .
Then in the 2000s he has him by a good 4 inches, and taker lost an inch too ...
Actually, when Hogan fought Taker for the first time, he was no longer in his prime. Hogan's prime was PRE-1990. In 1990, he apparently lost his first 1 1/4" due to his first back surgery. He fought taker the FOLLOWING year. A PEAK Hogan of the 1980's would have been at MOST 2" shorter than Taker.

Just goes TO SHOW how much height he really has lost since the 1980's, seeing he was about 2" shorter than a LEGIT 6'8" NFL'er in the mid 80's.

He's dropped down to about 6'3.75 now, he was maybe 310 back when, and dropped down to about 270. Now I think he is back up to about 280, he's put the feedbag on in retirement.

Alex,
What is your take on the Hogan/Mean Gene -montage which shows them having pretty much the same height difference through the years? I'd say Hogan was 6'5 in his prime and 6'3.5 today (he is pretty much the same height as Conan O'Brien & David Hasselhoff) and Mean Gene went from 5'8 to 5'7.

Hogan WAS 294 at WMIII and was down to 287 by the time of No Holds Barred. His serious weight loss began in 1992-1993, going down to 255-260, due to the steroid trials, where Hogan got off them completely and hence the noticeable weight loss. As for his heavier weight, he was 320-330 until 1982 (Rocky III) and down to 305-310 by 1985-1986 and he kept getting smaller after that.

He was considerably bigger in the early 1980's. You should see him in Rocky III, or prior. He was a lot bigger at this point and I remember him being billed at 320 in a match he had with Andre in 1980, at this point he was at least 300 pounds but probably closer to 305-310.

Ola, Hogan was billed as 320 lbs BEFORE he was billed 303 lbs. Case and point was when he fought Andre for the first time in the early 80's, not WM 3. He was definitely bigger in terms of weight than he was in the later 80's. He looked almost anorexic in comparison in '94 when he fought Flair lol.

I personally find Hogan having lost 3 inches of height absurd. This is very evident from the pics with Mr T and the Mean Gene -compilation which Ola posted.
I'd say Hogan has lost 1,5 inches in total. I think he was 6'5 in his prime. He never had a full head size on Mean Gene, who I believe was 5'8 in his prime and later 5'7. Today I believe Hogan is 6'3.5 since he was very close in height with David Hasselhoff and Conan O'Brien who both are very close to 6'4.

Anybody who doesn't think hogan's arms were about 24" is a douche bag. My arms are about 20" around and I only way about 260. It's not hard for me to imagine a 6'6 300lbs+ man to have bigger arms than me. Besides my weights teacher MET Hogan and a bunch of other wrestlers right before Wrestlemania 3. I've asked him about it a million times and he says Hogan was HUGE and his arms were very big and bulky and legit 22-24" around. He was a fairly successful ameture bodybuilder so I value his opinion. Plus he is a huge skeptic of wrestling so that makes it much more valid to me. Also he said Hogan was def over 6'5. He would know because he is just a hair under 6'2.

Dan, what you do or do not belive is not my problem. My point was that I have big arms and Hogan's looked bigger, I could easily see him as having 22inch or mabbe even more. Ola, I was a big Hulkamaniac back in 89-92. And I don't post pics on here, but I can watch a few of my old tapes and I think Hogans arms look masive. I might be wrong but I remember them being bigger than the physically bigger Sid Justice in '91.
And Hogan's arms still look pretty big today, I would suppose that he concentrates on them, but you neevr know. Ron Simmons was not a big gym goer but he was naturally big.
Halb, it's just that I've been involved in bodybuilding for a good 19 years and many people claim to have a 20" bicep and very few do. Some people measure their upper arms on a distorted angle (pressed up against their body), which will give a larger tape measurement. Everyone said Mike Mentzer had 22" arms. He stated that they were 18 5/8", at 5'8" and 225 pounds. Anything over 19" is very large. If you say 20", I'll believe you. As for Hogan's, I have NO doubt that they were minimum 21" COLD and 22-23" pumped. He had very little definition/striations in his upper arms in the 80's, but one thing he did have was MASS. He was ALSO at least 6'5" and over 300 pounds. That alone will give a larger measurement.

I might be wrong but I remember them being bigger than the physically bigger Sid Justice in '91.
And Hogan's arms still look pretty big today, I would suppose that he concentrates on them, but you neevr know. Ron Simmons was not a big gym goer but he was naturally big.
LV said on 14/May/08
You guys are mistaking well-defined, ripped arms with and large, bulky arm. Hogan is practically 60 years old and his arms are still 20 inches cold. Imagine how big they were back when he was taking steriods. I'd guess 22 inches. He was never as ripped as bodybuilders like Lou, but his arm were just massive (

''Only bodybuilders should be commenting on ARM size. Arthur Jones measurements were COLD measurements Jason "The Phantom" and taken JUST before competition, where ALL their measurements are about 1" smaller than the offseason. Get your facts straight Jason "The Phantom".''
Well, generally, people don't mean pumped. That isn't your real measurement. & could you quote where it says it's just before competition? I haven't read that page in a long time, but can't remember that.

Id love to hit 16 inches Alex. Mine are 14.5, maybe a full 15 with a pump. I can curl a lot of weight though.

If you look at John Cena today, he's probably nor far off of Hogan today. Cena's arms are minimum 18 inches and I'd say more closer or at 19 inches. I remember he wasn't very far off of Lesnar who had 21 inch arms when they faced off.
Alex said on 14/May/08
Well they are indeed 20 looking at him on Rachel Ray. They looked like 19 when he was sitting down on his side without even flexing! Thats huge too.
Danimal, 17 3/4 arms are huge on a 5'9 frame. Mine are 15 3/4-16. My goal is to get to 18 and I am good. Hogans forearms would have been as big as Big Show's if they were really 18 back then. Andre's were 17 inches.
Alex said on 14/May/08
I remember Hogan's arms were measured back in the 80s at 24 inches but like Jason said could have been some altered tape. They did look at least 22 inches back in the day though. Today more 20 inches probably.
Anonymous said on 14/May/08
when are people going to realize that you dont have to have lou ferrigno's cut arms to have big arms?Ola your mistaking cutness for being bigger.hogan has a bulkier arm and not as cut as ferigno's but hogans arms were a solid 22" at prime if not a smidge bigger.I also believe prime hogan had a 58" chest to the guy was huge in the day.I find it funny that anyone would put hogan as low as 18" bicep prime.he was still 20" on rachel ray and you can tell his arms are now what they once were so id bet 22-23" prime

tuga, dolph is bending his head down alot... he is not shorter else. and what about the footwear of lister? we can also see from the rocky movies that dolph was taller than hogan (compare with sly)
hogan peak 6'4
dolph peak 6'5
You had to come with excuses, footware is the same, dolph lundgreen has not the best posture but he is CLOSER TO THE CAMERA.
As for your estimates for him and hogan...ITS ALL IN YOUR MIND...
Watch rocky movies again, hogan is bigger both height and weight, so obvious, and try to watch "Men of war" and see the difference between lister and dolph.

The keyword there is ''may''. Oliva was at his prime/peak at the time -- he was billed as having 23'' then, and you've got both him and Jones saying that was junk. Arnold, though, I'll concede, probably was a year or two shy. Shouldn't be any suprise ... the Weiders are two of the most unscrupulous men around.
Big Show said on 14/May/08
Arthur Jones worked together with Oliva in the early 70's, he probably measured his arms in 1971 or 1972. Oliva's physique was according to most bodybuilding experts at his best in 1972 (he should've won the Mr. Olympia title that year).
Schwarzenegger didn't hit his physical peak until 1974, so his arms may have grown a bit after that supposed measurement in 1972. Plus, it's no secret that Sergio Oliva disliked Schwarzenegger and the IFBB after his controversial loss in 1972.
Jason said on 14/May/08
24'' back in the day is a huge inflation, Freddy Blassie is said to have used an altered tape to ''measure'' them in at that.
You can't even go by Lou Ferrigno's billed measurement; Sergio Oliva (who edged even Arnold out) has said his arms were never bigger than 20.5'', and that Weider just exaggerated his and everyone else's measurements.
Click HereArthur Jones measured Oliva's arms in his prime at 20.25'':
Click HereOla, that said, 18'' prime is much too low for Hogan. 20 would be reasonable.

Hogan had his arms measured by Rachael Ray on her show earlier this year. They were still 20". He was caught off guard when she asked to measure them and was clearly embarassed. I'm sure you can still find the video on youtube.
Ola, you must have small arms b/c if you had arms near 20" like me and a few others on here, you would be able to fathom Hogan's being 20" STILL.

BTW Vegas, by 1994, Hogan's weight was down to 255. He was 320 up until the filming of Rocky III. 310 until 1986 and down and between 285-295 by No Hold's Barred. By 1993-1994, he was between 255-260 pounds.

I believe in boxing he was listed as 6'4, which might be accurate as he looks to be near Tommy Lister's height, who's wearing the same type of boots as he wore in the late 80's.

people do not shrink 3 inches by the time they are 48 (in 2002)

as for mcmahon you obviously did not watch HKB where both mcmahon and hogan were standing next to each other in the office with hogan towering over mcmahon, HHH has 2 inches on vince in recent photos and one where he looks 5 inches taller, no way hogan is shorter than HHH today

Click Here giving him at least a half inch over what hogan was wearing. in simple math terms is does not compute, you say hasselhoff is 6'4, then those cowboy boots give him 2" making him 6'6, you say hogan is a flat 6'3 then his boots that night give him 1.5 inches at best making him 6'4.5, tell me where is the 1.5 inches in that photo????

hogan has a terrible posture these days but when he stands up fully straight like on conan (flexing his muscles) he is still a very large man Click Here
Of course you do, because you are one of two who refuse to admit that Hogan lost any real height even though he was taller than HBJ by 1" in the 80's and shorter than him by 2" in 2004-2005 and he had McMahon by 4" in 1979-1989, yet was only about 1" taller than him in 2003 and 2004.
Alex, Hogan was taller than a legit 6'5"+ man by the name of Hilbilly Jim. In my books, that put at 6'6".
Hasselholf was taller than Hogan by .5-.75" of an inch in that pic. Sorry Vegas, but you lose again.
Danimal, I totally agree with you when you say that hogan had considerable height loss. I think he was 6'6 peak and 6'4 now. He is shorter than Hasselholf in a few pictures but somebody posted photos of both their footwear and hogan had on much smaller shoes I think they are both 6'4 today but Hogan would have been considerably taller in his prime so he has lost significant height for a 54 year old.

Danimal said on 8/May/08
Sorry Big Show, but I have to disagree somewhat with your assessment of his Lister's boots. He did wear the Kane like platform ones on many occassions to the ring and not just for the movie. I remember a tag team cage match, where Lister was falling all over the place because of his boots and Hogan was still barely shorter than him. In that staredown picture you provided, I still see the foot advantage going to Lister by at least 1" and Lister is barely taller than Hogan there (he's leaning forward, while Hogan is standing straight).
Furthermore, Lister has also been listed at 6'6" AND 6'7" in the real world. I personally believe that barefoot, Hogan would have been at least equal to Lister, if not slightly taller than him
Lastly, what frustrates me the most is NOT Ola, because no one can or should take him seriously, but VEGAS, because he knows the rules and knows the game of wrestling, YET, he blatantly posts comparisons of Lister and Hogan HEAD shot, knowing what kind of heel Lister was known to wear in the ring. If this were my site, I would have given Vegas (who's been on here a long time) a SEVERE warning, of which he so rightfully deserved. Stop grasping at straw Vegas. Glad to see I have so many allies on this page. It makes it worth sticking around :).

you want boot comparison of lister and hogan well here it is, notice the knees pads on both men are identical in height as as their nipples (i drew white lines just in case) now if lister was wearing mega-lifts wouldn't his legs be alot longer than hogans
So maybe they're not mega lifts per say but the evidence there clearly suggests Hogan is NOT shorter barefoot than Lister, that we can all surely agree on that. (even Ola did ;)

Davidson was probably 6'8 when he was real young, just out of college, early 60's. By the mid 80's he had gray hair, he was more 6'7.5 or less, bringing a peak Hogan down to 6'5.5 or 6'5.25.

tuga i believe hogan lost 1 inch, 1.5" tops. i am interested in that piper/hogan video simply because Danimal claims hogan lost 1.5 inches in 1990 but that video is from 1992 and hogan has more height there on piper than he had on him in 1985,86 or 87. If hogan is 6'6 there, then
Sid Eudy is easily 6'8+ because as you can see from the staredown later in the match he has a good 2.5 inches on hogan despite what alfred hayes is saying thats a screen capture from that match
Click Herethe Arsenio Hall video is not great to compare height, thats 5'10 listed Mr fugi and roddy piper circa 1986, yokozuna had more height on fugi than roddy has here without question

According to most people here from the eye level to the top of the head there is about 5 inches ... Hence Hoga being 6'5.5 at least if Greg's head matched his eye level ...
Then can someone explain to me why 6'0.5 Greg barely makes it to the bottom of Hulk's nose ?
Anyway 6'6 for prime Hogan seems accurate to me .
He was 1.5 to max 2 inches smaller then Sid at Wrestlemania 8 .

JT, I think Volkoff is closer to 6'4". There is a picture of him on HBJ's website and he's only marginally shorter than HBJ
I agree. He was billed at 6'7" in the WWF in the 1980's. Only an inch shorter than Hogan. He is an old man now, but for a peak height I give him not under 6'3" and he very well could have been a full 6'4". Same goes for Sgt. Slaughter.
Funny you should mention these two guys...I met them both just a couple of months ago...Really nice to talk to...Here's a photo of the two of them and me.
Click HereVolkoff is 60 years old so he has probaly lost a little height...He still looked to me to be around 6'3"...so he might have been 6'4" when he was younger. I don't think Sarge was ever that tall...he did wear some thick soled boots when he wrestled...He might have been closer to 6'2"

tuga; forget the movie but the video you posted of piper and hogan is interesting, thats from 1992, 2 years after Danimal claims Hogan lost 1.5 inches its interesting because in 1986 hogan has less advantage over piper than in 1992!!!!
Vegas, how much height do you think hogan lost since his prime?
The movie I posted from Piper is important for his height, there you can see he is a tall man, I believe 6'1 prime, here
Anonymous said on 4/May/08
Hulk was at the very most 6'6 at his peak, and maybe a hair less,Hogan was only a hair taller than Hillbilly Jim, who I think was max 6'5.25. 6'5 Bill Fralic was at least the same height as HBJ making Fralic a big 6'5, probably 6'5.5. I think if there was a picture of Fralic and Hulk Hogan from back in the mid 80's Hogan and Fralic would be about the same Height, a strong 6'5.5. HBJ even with the frizzed out hair was no taller than Fralic. Give HJB a short haircut like Fralic and I think Fralic would be a snich taller.

Ola, don't expect to make friends when you insult people's intelligence and act like they are crazy because they agree with the majority of the people on here.

Ola, I remembered you once said that Hogan was 6'5" in his prime. That sounded plausible. Why have you changed your mind? Hogan did look at least 6'5" in his prime. How could a 6'4" man be billed up to 6'8"? It's just so obvious and hilarous.

Come on JT, there's your 5" right there man. Hogan looks every bit 6'6" in that pic IF JYD is only 6'1". I beg him at minimum 6'2" in the mid 80's.

so no where near 6'6. so what hes 6'9?
although he would have been standing on a box or something to appear taller.

Jt in your pictures it look like hogan has the same height advantage over Mean Gene unless they both shrunk at the same time :o)
That was sort of the point:) Gene's age ranges from 44 to 67 in those pics, so you would expect him to shrink around an inch. Hogan (age 29 to 52 in those pics) has definitely lost height prematurely due to his injuries. However, if Hogan's lost the 3 inches like a few claim here, Gene must have also.
Ola, Hogan usually looked around 5 inches taller than Piper.
Click Here In the two pics I have from the late 1980s where Piper looks closer in height, I'm pretty sure Hogan was barefoot. Interestingly, though, like Gene, Piper too is shrinking at the same rate as Hogan:)

Here are the three photos that I have with myself and HBJ back in 2006:
Click HereClick HereClick HereAnd, here is what footwear HJB was wearing that day:
Click HereI was wearing basic tennis shoes which probably put my height around 6'2 1/4"
The third picture of me and HBJ is abit skewed as we we both standing on a stage and the photographer was down on the ground shooting upwards...which probably made HBJ look alittle taller than he was.

Miko, Hogan claimed a 1 1/4" height loss in 1990. I believe he was a full 6'6" up until 1989. He was taller than 6'5.5" HBJ in every pic of them from the mid-late 1980's.

I don't know what to think about Hogan's heights, part of me wants to say that he was 6'7 peak and 6'5 now because he was one of the tallest wrestlers back when and was inches taller than the 6'3 guys and only Studd & Andre were taller. But then I see pics of 6'5 Fralic being the same height as Studd and Hogan was always about 2.5 inches shorter than studd. Also I see that Jesse Ventura is listed in the wrestling hall of fame as 6'2, not the 6'5 that he was at back when. That makes me wonder if Hogan was a little under 6'5 peak and 6'3 tops now.
Very good observation, Hogan's exact peak height is almost impossible to pin down. I think he was about 6'5.5 at his tallest and 6'3.5 as he is listed here currently. I think his cowboy boots are definetly making it hard for us to pin down his exact height.

Hogan (1975-1989) - 6"5.5 -6"5.75
Hogan (1990-1995) - 6"4.5

interesting that she has at least 4 inches on glenn if she is just 5'9, he said she was wearing small heels there, as she normally does, its either shoes or small heels
Click Hereshe has alot of height on a large heeled so called 5'7 paris hilton

No Ola I just do not accept opinions from Trolls, ok?
Hulk Fan said on 26/Apr/08
Ola we all appreciate the input of others. I think Alex2 can accept others opinions. But when you say Andre was only 6'9 and Hogan was 6'3-6'4 at his peak that is far fetched. Hogan was taller than 6'1 Piper by 5 inches, he was taller than 6'4 Bundy by 2 inches, and he was shorter than 6'7 Big John Studd by 1-2 inches. The point I am trying to make is that Hulk was a solid 6'5 in his prime and perhaps even a little over. When you make a claim that Hogan was 6'3 or 6'4 you are reducing your credibility. Sorry if I was rude.

Vegas, you don't think an old, cancer surviving Mr. T has also lost height? He was a bodybuilder and likely steroid user, so I think there is a very good chance he has also shrank. That's why height comparisons 20 years apart don't work.

Hey guys -
I will post two other photos of myself and HBJ that were taken on the same day as the one posted on HBJ's page. If Hogan was indeed HBJ's height back in the day, then I would agree that Hogan was probably around 6'5 1/2". HBJ was wearing tennis shoes as well as me...so the height comparison is very good. I will post those pictures later today.
Chris, Hogan was taller than Hilbilly by at least an inch in at least 3 pics from 1985-1989. JT once upon a time knew this and actually stated it, before he decided to turn his back on Hogan and Andre the Giant and has made it his lifelong mission to prove that Hogan was never over 6'5" and Andre never over 6'10", no matter what evidence is right in front of his very own eyes. I saw his neutral stance become biased almost overnight.
Rantsrob said on 24/Apr/08
Hogan never looked 6'6'' to me. He never had that enourmous appearence maybe 6.5 peak.

JT said on 23/Apr/08
Hogan's got leather pants on in that pic with Ed Leslie and HBJ (
Click Here), so he's likely wearing cowboy boots and thus has around an inch footwear advantage over HBJ. Leslie's farthest from the camera. Hogan with no more than 3 inches on 6'2" max Leslie in wrestling gear from the same year
Click Here and probably a bit closer to the camera too.
