i have seen the other one too many times and i have posted comparisons with the 2006 photo, hogan is clearly in his cowboy boots and leather pants in the other photo, unknown what jim is wearing. watch wrestlemania 2 the workout piece and you will see hogan is no taller than jim in wrestling boots side by side

if hogan is 6'6 there with Mr T Click Here he is still that taller today if not taller with Mr T unless T has lost 3-4 inches as well, this shot from about 2 years ago Click Here

JT, pay close attention to that picture. Hogan still had hair so the top of his head does go to the line drawn. Unlike your pictures, my line IS actually touching the very top of Hogan's head.

Vegas, click here (Click Here) and go the photo gallery #2, picture 8. I guess Hogan is again closer to the camera? Both are likely wearing cowboy boots and Hogan is clearly taller.

YUP, that second pic with Hogan, Hillbilly Jim and Ed Leslie is from late 1989. Hogan has Hilbilly by a solid 1" or more and has Ed Leslie by how much?? hahaha. NOW, fast forward to the pic of Hogan standing next to HBJ as of recent and he is at least 2" shorter than him and the same height as Ed Leslie on Hogan Knows Best.

Once 6'6"
Now 6'3"

LV, good example of drawing a line not even touching the top of a guy's (Hogan's) head.:) Mr. T (5'10.5" per Rob) looks only 6 inches shorter than Hogan, who is clearly closer to the camera as others have pointed out.
tuga said on 23/Apr/08
Hogan was a little taller than hilbilly, that
Vegas said on 23/Apr/08
LV do you really believe Hogans forehead is 2 inches longer than Jims given their eyeline positions or is it more possible hogan is closer to the camera??
LV said on 22/Apr/08
Here is a picture of Hogan and the Rock (Click Here). Pay close attention to the higher of the two lines and factor out the Rock's hair and Hogan has close to an inch on him. This is Hogan WELL past his peak. You can see that a peak Hogan is considerably taller than HBJ (Click Here).

i dont think so.i saw hillbilly jim next to edge and he had about 2 inches on him.both were wearing regular footwear.and everyone agrees that edge is about 6'3ish and that is a fact because edge was around the same height as the incredible shrinking hogan,and that was back in 02-03.hillbilly jim is also in great shape these days.i also remember the godfather being billed at 6'6 he is nowere near that.hillbilly as well had him by 1 1/2 to 2 inches.godfather is a tad over 6/3 is what my guess will be.also who was taller uncle elmer or giant haystacks?
miko said on 22/Apr/08
A 6"5.75 peak is likely, and he's lost about 2 inches, making him around 6"3.5/6"3.75 currently with good posture, bad posture - can look 6"3.
DonnarMarine said on 22/Apr/08
Hogan and Dwayne Johnson "The Rock" appear to have exactly the same height. Both are 6'4". Also Lou Ferrigno is 6'4", but only Hasselhoff who described his height as 6'4" is 6'4 1/2" in my and others opinion.
omar g said on 21/Apr/08
hogan is looking alot shorter these days.especially always being seen in public with with legit 6'3-6'5 guys like connan,ferrigno,and hasselhoff.can it be his age? he has the physic of a 30 year old but is jacked up like a 80 year old.the rock only looked 6'3ish in person. hillbilly jim did indeed look very tall at wwe axxess.6'5 i would say.
Kinjin said on 21/Apr/08
Well, Dwayne Johnson replied that his height is 6'4" on an interview and I think he wouldn't lie. That would make Hogan make at least 6'4". I'd give Hogan 6'4 1/2" but he is no taller than David Hasselhoff, who described his height as 6'4" too but keep in mind: Hasselhoff is one of the celebrities who are downgrading their heights. So Hasselhoff could be a least 6'4 1/2", if not, then almost 6'5".
topdweeb26 said on 21/Apr/08
I can perhaps say that Hogan's peak height was 6' 5. It's not uncommon for 6' 5 guys to get billed at 6' 8. But Hogan's peak at 6' 3 is just simply absurd. 6' 3 is too common of a height to fake at 6' 8. In fact, 6' 5 is kinda pushing it too, but it's easy to give someone 2" lifts and make them "close enough" to a height, than it to give someone 4" lifts.
Anonymous said on 20/Apr/08
Hulk was at most 6'5.75 310+ at his peak. That would take him up to 6'8-6'8.25 with the big boots on, which is how they measured heights for the wrestlers back in the 70's-80's. 6'5 290 in 90's. Small 6'4 280 today.
Alex2 said on 20/Apr/08
Id go for a very max peak of 6'6.5" and 6'3-6'3.5 today. Ola don't be a stupid a** Hogan below 6'5 peak is rediculous!
Hugh said on 20/Apr/08
Hogan is 6ft4 now.

Hogan was 6'5 at his Peak. He looks 6'3 today.

Its Hogan's larger than average head that makes him look shorter than Conan/Hasselhoff/Ferigno etc. There's no doubt that 25 years ago he'd have cleared all 3 by at least an inch.

Agreed

hogan was 6'3 - 6'4 in his prime

This is harsh, but I don't care. You're a FOOL!
Hulk Fan said on 17/Apr/08
Hogan at 6'3 or 6'4 peak is out of question. He was 6'5 at the minimum.
Frank said on 16/Apr/08
Danimal, I know your a big Hogan fan and your right Miko was wrong Hogan did not look taller than Conan actually they looked very close in height and i believe Conan is 6ft 3 .5 becasue he always looks alitle shorter when he has a 6ft 4 guest Like Jeff Goldblum
Ghost said on 16/Apr/08
Click Here

Here is Hogan being interviewed by Gordon Solie. Hogan looks 6'5 max here if Solie is 5'6. In the beginning when Hogan stands straight he has Solie by a headsize, maybe even a hair more. This would make Hogan 6'5 in his prime. No big news really.
Danimal said on 15/Apr/08
miko says on 15/Apr/08
Fully upright, at maximum posture I think Hogan would still be 6"4. The only time we ever saw him recently do that was on Conan, and he was taller than Conan by 1-2".

No he wasn't. Hogan was a few feet closer to the camera than Conan.

Topweed, I do believe that Hogan was just shy of 6'6" in his prime (late 70's-late 80's) and is just over 6'3" today. Close to 3" height and not discluding the age factor (which may have shaved 1" off his height, I believe a good chunk of the remainder of the loss (2") comes from multiple surgeries.

topdweeb26 said on 15/Apr/08
So wait, we're saying that Hogan is 6' 3 today, and back in his prime, he was 6' 6/7" ? That's a very significant height loss... I don't think I buy that. I can see him going from 6' 6 to 6' 4 maybe, but man... if we take the extremes of his height, then that would be a 4 inch difference.
Alex2 said on 14/Apr/08
Why what do you think he is Ola ey? 5'10? Give me a break!
Frank said on 14/Apr/08
Stallone's height is weird becasue there have been people who said he looked
5ft 6 to 5ft 7 ans others said 5ft 9 ?? The same goes for Arnold
Steve said on 14/Apr/08
hogan is around 6'4 today, peak 6'6...he was one of the taller wrestlers of the 80s...peak 6'6 is easily possible, he looks it many photos and videos.
topdweeb26 said on 13/Apr/08
This is getting ridiculous. When I was a kid, I thought Hogan was 6' 8... and then it dropped to 6 6/7... then when I heard he was 6' 4, I was taken aback... but over time, I have learned to accept that... and now we're debating that the man is 6' 3.5 or even less?? How tall is Sylvester Stallone, like 5' 5??
Roberto said on 13/Apr/08
Hogan is taller than Lou. Sure. I think Hogan is 192 cms and Lou Ferigno 187-188 cms.
Alex2 said on 9/Apr/08
Yea I think when you put your body through lots of hard training day in day out you are bound to have a greater height loss than the average Joe, and Frank I agree with Ferrigno at 6'2.5-6'3 today.
Frank said on 9/Apr/08
James i said Lou must be 6ft 2.5 becasue Hogan was alittle taller and we have an Idea Hogan is Probably 6ft 3 to 6ft 3.5 today

For peak, throw out anything over 6'6 and anything under 6'5. 6'5 something, weather it was 6'5 7/8 or 6'5 1/8. Now, Nothing over 6'4, nothing under 6'3 same deal.

Beautifully put. I concur.

Hogan and Gordon Solie from I
Hulk Fan said on 8/Apr/08
Hulk Hogan looks 1 inch taller than Lou and this website lists Lou at 6'3 so this means currently Hogan is still 6'4.
Frank said on 8/Apr/08
Ola, Hogan is alittle taller than Lou and i belive Lou is about 6ft 2 1/2 today

Hell, I think Hogan looks more 6-2 on his show. Good to see you back Ola. Got any more pictures of Andre looking 6-5? :)
Randy said on 8/Apr/08
Hogan's still taller than Ferrigno. I've seen the pictures, and it's pretty obvious.

Just saw Hogan on South beach with his new babe, He is still an immense size. I would say 6ft 4/5 and 350 lbs minimum.
Kolla said on 6/Apr/08
Hogan is 6'4" at least because he looked almost an inch taller than Lou Ferrigno and a half inch taller than Dwayne Johnson. I wouldn't get harrassed if Hogan would get 6'4 1/2".
Peter Mills said on 6/Apr/08
Hulk Hogan was 6'6" back in the eighties, and I peaked at 6'4" and here we are now both at 6'3.5"
Mike said on 5/Apr/08
Ahh yes Frank those cowboy boots did do Hogan favors back in the old wwf, I like everyone else here am still really curios how much height Hogan has lost
Fred Ennis said on 4/Apr/08
he had me by an inch in 1985, now I have him by an inch. I am 6'5"
Alex said on 4/Apr/08
I think most of Johnny's estimates are very close to the truth. Batista and Hogan I'd downgrade. And I would upgrade Big Show and Khali. Undertaker isn't far from 6'6.5 either.
johnny said on 4/Apr/08
im saying now not at peak height probably was 6' 7'' at his tallest
Anonymous said on 3/Apr/08
When anyone is in the public eye for a real long time, they have two heights, one when they were young, say in their 20's. And one when they get real old, say when they get to about 50 and beyond. So many times I see guys in there 40's,50's and 60's and people try to judge that as being a true height. Everybody trys to put a peak height on hogan in the mid to late late 80's and even the early 90's. A peak hogan height should be from the mid to late 70's when hardly anyone even knew who he was, like about a 1977 terry boulder when he was about 23 or 24. He had hair and was in great shape, by about 1988 he already was at the grind for 11 or 12 years, was bald and about 35 years old. Like a football player in retirement. I think a YOUNG hogan was 6'5.75 and the 54 yr old hogan is 6'3.75.
Alex2 said on 2/Apr/08
Johnny, those estimations are redicuously stupid low, lol Taker 6'6.5? Yea right!

that was in the 80's not now looks almost 6ft 7 there

Hogan looks 6'8" beside Greg, almost 8 inches taller.
Jeff said on 30/Mar/08
I was reading last night that Andre the Giant was 6'9", not 7'4" like announced. Remembering back in the day when Hulk fought Andre, there's no way Hulk was only 2 inches shorter than Andre, so something's fishy here.

Mike, Hogan was wearing White cowboy boots with a Very Big Heel in the picture with Trump & Andre
Mike said on 29/Mar/08
I know Greg got/gets alot of bad rep for his claim height pic with Hogan, but remember this was in the 1980's where Hogan was being built up as a 6'7 to 6'8 man (obv hes not those 2 heights) and Greg said Hogan had sneakers (who knows what was in them) but I saw Hogan with Donald trump and Andre the Giant 1988-1990 and Hogan made the 6'2 6'3 Trump look not too tall (Hogan had Trump by several inches more then Greg above obv but enough to see a decent gap) WE need a pic of Hogan with Trump and Greg circa de 2008 to see what the "current" difference is then we can make our assumptions

Kevin Nash 6ft 10

Hogan's current posture is terrible, he always seems to bending forwards, even when he had his staredown with 6"3 "The Rock" in 2002, he was slouching and was still about 0.5" taller, so his current height is hard to pin down. He has looked roughly 7-8 shorter than 7"1 Dalip "Great Khali" Singh in a 2007 staredown, which would put him around 6"5.
glenn said on 27/Mar/08
thats correct frank.
Anonymous said on 26/Mar/08
Hogan was a big 6'5, small 6'6 peak, 6'4 tops today.

Rob can you define wich height we should post. Out of bed, most of day, evening.

For guinness world records they use an average height of ten measurements over the day.

mid day is fine by me.
out of bed is fine by others. I think if you mention this fact...

About 1 year ago, I was at this Place in Miami Beach called Lime and I noticed too very Familiar Faces waiting in line, then it dawned on me it was Brooke and Nick Hogan. A minute later none other than Hulkamania walked up. I saw The Hulkster from about 5 feet away as He used the Soda Machine. 6'4" People...
Frank said on 24/Mar/08
James it looks like Hulk is alittle closer to the camera but it should not make much of a difference all i know Greg posted Hulk was in sneakers
glenn said on 24/Mar/08
if he was 6-6,then he is 6-6.whether its 2 minutes or 2 hours.thats his max potential.
Kingston said on 24/Mar/08
Red, other the height discussions are endless because there are people who have my opinion to use the morning height and other people who have your opinion and people who think the evening height is the correct height. What d you mean with "lots of respect for Glenn" and "BS"? I mean, I trust Glenn too but your comment "respect" does not match our discussion I guess. Please use the general height discussion for further discussions. And Hogan doesn't even look a hair taller than Dwayne Johnson. Both are from around 6'3" and 6'4".
Frank said on 24/Mar/08
Again Greg said Hogan was wearing sneakers in the picture
Red said on 24/Mar/08
Kingston, I have a lot of respect for Glenn but thats BS.

Kingston said on 24/Mar/08
Well, I don't know. Please discuss it with Glenn. He said that my true height is my morning height. I don't know exactly but I'm starting to become 6'5 1/2" after three hours.

Editor Rob
I'd personally call it a peak height, not a true height
Kingston said on 24/Mar/08
Red, a human's true height is out of bed because I'm 6'6" out of bed and 6'6" for the next two hours. Sometimes I'm 6'5 1/2" during the day and sometimes 6'5 1/4". It depends on how long I'm sleeping. Ask Glenn for that and he has the same opinion about that. And keep in mind: Glenn is the main person on CelebHeights.

Editor Rob
By mid-day on average, most folk will have lost 85-90% of their daily height loss, assuming they are up at 7am.

6ft 6 out of bed, then 2 hours later the same height? How am I supposed to take that seriously.

Hulk Fan said on 21/Mar/08
Good point Frank. I too was mislead by the 6'under greg's picture but someone illustrated for me that Greg is the same height as Mr. t who was 5'11 at best.Still Hogan is very tall,he looks to be at least 6+ inches taller than Greg putting him over 6'5 but not at 6'7 like he claims.
Luluk said on 20/Mar/08
OK Vegas, I trust you. If Hogan and Hasselhoff are 6'4" then Lou Ferrigno has to be 6'3 1/2" because he looks a half inch shorter than Hogan.
Frank said on 20/Mar/08
Yes Viper i believe he said Hogan was wearing sneakers but we dont know if Greg is really 6ft 0 .5
Hulk Fan said on 20/Mar/08
Viper says on 19/Mar/08
"Didnt Greg say Hogan looked 6-6-6-7 in person? He did say that Hogan is wearing regular sneakers here."
I hate to disagree with you Viper because as you can tell Hogan is probably my most favorite celebrity ever. But Greg would say anything to make Hogan 6'7, that is why he claims 6'.5 when he in all reality is only 5'10-5'11. I am just saying we cannot count on what Greg said because he is a Hulkamaniac just like me. I am sorry if I was rude.
Viper said on 19/Mar/08

If Greg was a legit 6'0.5 then we got Hogan at over 6'7 then.
Hulk Fan said on 18/Mar/08
I think cowboy boots add more than 1.8 inches more like 2-2.25.
Vegas said on 18/Mar/08
well hogan and hasselhoff are identical as far as eyelines go in that photo and unless you believe hasselhoff has a one inch bigger forehead than hogan... Click Here

this shot was taken backstage after the VH1 Big In '06 Awards in December 2006 Click Here Click Here those boots are giving him about 1.8-2 inches. hasselhoff normally doesn't go to any public events without his trusted cowboy boots like here last month, good close up shot of his boots with hogan Click Here

hogans footwear from that night Click Here rob has boots of that type of sole listed here "Doc Martin Style" and says they give 1.3 inches of height Click Here
Hulk Fan said on 18/Mar/08
It is not accurate to make a decision based on a picture that doesn't show the footwear of Hasselholf and Hogan. I still beleive Hogan is 6'4 because he has looked it on numerous occasions, especially besides conan o brian, or next to the Rock. I might be wrong but I think that Hasselholf and Hogan would be the same height if they were both barefoot and if Hogan stood up straight like Hasselholf. Macken Greg isn't 6 feet tall he is closer to 5'11, maybe not even a full 5'11 making Hogan only about 6'6 and not 6'7 in the picture.
Luluk said on 17/Mar/08
No Vegas, you can't tell me that Hogan and Hasselhoff have the same height. David looks almost an inch taller than Hogan and where do you know that these two guys have different shoes?
Macken said on 17/Mar/08
Well, on this photo, Hogan looks 6'7" beside Greg.
Vegas said on 17/Mar/08
they are the same height approx when hogan stands up straight and is not leaning to the left, their eyelines are identical Click Here

hasselhoff is also wearing cowboy boots there and hogan in hiking boots so hasselhoff has about a half an inch footwear advantage
Luluk said on 16/Mar/08
Ah, look! Here (Click Here) are several photos where Hogan stands face to face to Hasselhoff.
Chris said on 15/Mar/08
Hogan, in the mid 1980's, was over 300lbs without question...from 1979 - 1981 he was about 320lbs. The guy was a monster.

As for his height, I'd say 6'4" tall is about right for now and maybe 6'6" in his prime.
Vegas said on 15/Mar/08
thats a very small one inch advantage and it also means hasselhoff's forehead is one inch longer than hogans (some chance of that lol) because the height of their eyelines are identical Click Here

hasselhoff is wearing cowboy boots there, i posted the photo of him and his daughter from later in the night which are giving him 1.8". Hogan is wearing a kind of hiking boot which would be giving him about 1.3-1.4" so hoff has the footwear advantage too.
Hulk Fan said on 14/Mar/08
Luluk while I do agree with you we can't see the footwear in the Hasselholf Hogan pic only if we can find a picture in which we can see both of their footwear. Remember both hogan and hasselholf love cowboy boots.
Luluk said on 14/Mar/08
If Hogan is 6'3 1/2" then David Hasselhoff is 6'4 1/2". Keep in mind: Hasselhoff is at least one inch taller than Hogan.
Hulk Fan said on 14/Mar/08
Greg is in between 5'10 - 5'11, he isn't a full 6 feet.

Gregs 5'10'' if hes lucky, Hulks bearly standing straight in that pic, but if a legit photo from that time can be found......

About Hogan's weight. I do believe he was really 300-305lbs at his biggest. Today he still looks around 270lbs.
Anonymous said on 11/Mar/08
Hulk Fan, I wont' post any LATE 90's NWO pics, I love the Hulk, one of my all time favroites. I was sad when I heard he got divorced, but I like him enough to not let it cloud my judgement on heights, I think he was at least 6'5.5 310 back in his Super Destroyer days, and 6'3.75 280 now.
Alex said on 11/Mar/08
Hogan looked at least 6'5-6'5 1/2 in the early-mid 80s but he looked the same to me in 1990. But I do think he was 6'4 tops in 2002 and today no more than 6'3. He was only a bit taller than Rock too remember.
Danimal said on 10/Mar/08
MK says on 6/Mar/08
Looks to me like Hogan went from 6'6 to 6'5 between 84' and 90', and then 6'4 in 2002 when he returned to the wwe. Probably closer to 6'3 nowadays.

I agree 100%
Alex said on 10/Mar/08
Hogan looked pretty similar in 1990 then he did in the 80s. Maybe 1/2 inch difference at most, aint going to be easy to tell.
Hulk Fan said on 10/Mar/08
Anonymous does have a point, but if you notice you will see that throughout the 80's Hulk Hogan bodyslammed every single one of his opponents including andre, but if you watch his matches into the 90's one can see that he wasn't able to do that any longer. This is when his finisher became big boot to the face and then leg drop instead of bodyslam and leg drop. So his body was becoming significantly weaker into the 90's which means he was probably undergoing surgeries which perhaps resulted in a considerable height loss. I am not saying that Hogan never bodyslammed anyone in the mid 90's I am just saying that he severely restricted that move. So please don't post one match in which HUlk Hogan bodyslams someone when he was in the NWO, to prove me wrong. Thank You

Think about it, Hulk is on record as saying he was 6'7, at least as late as 1991, and then said he was 6'4 by 2005. Fine, if his body got so screwed up in the 90's that he went from NBA height to regular tall guy height then he should have been truly debillatated in the 90's, cane, no more ruuning around. Instead what went on, the wrestling went right on going, action movies left and right,he was literaly more active than ever, he was doing everything. He can't have it both ways, if you lose 3 inches that fast at that young of an age, you maybe can still walk ok, but your not living life in 5th gear anymore. If someone I knew was 6'7 at age 38 and then was 6'4 at age 50 it would be freaky I would be like geez dude, are you dieing.

Sid and Taker were the exact same height to a tee. Neither one was taller than the other. If I had to say if one was 1/8 inch taller than the other I would say it's Sid. About 6'7.5 for the both of them.

JT: I'm not sure of your reference in the Hulk-Sid fuzzy photo. I thought a fibula was "a bone located on the lateral side of the tibia, with which it is connected above and below. It is the smaller of the two bones, and, in proportion to its length, the most slender of all the long bones. Its upper extremity is small, placed toward the back of the head of the tibia, below the level of the knee-joint, and excluded from the formation of this joint. Its lower extremity inclines a little forward, so as to be on a plane anterior to that of the upper end; it projects below the tibia, and forms the lateral part of the ankle-joint."

Click Here - This is an interview with Hulk Hogan in 1991 on a British Televison show, when the presenter asks his height he says "6 foot 7", do you guys not think Hogan may well have been 6'7" once, i mean he was barely shorter than Undertaker at Survivor Series 1990 if at all.

To be honest with you, Hogan did seem to hold his own height wise against anybody in the early 90's. But I still think losing that much height would have an effect on your body. He might have had lifts.
MK said on 6/Mar/08
Looks to me like Hogan went from 6'6 to 6'5 between 84' and 90', and then 6'4 in 2002 when he returned to the wwe. Probably closer to 6'3 nowadays.
Hulk Fan said on 6/Mar/08
I might be wrong but I have always doubted sid's footwear not only because does he seem to have big soles but also because when he broke his leg coming off the top rope the whole thing didnt look like it would happen if Sid had nothing in his boots. I think sid packed some big lifts inside his shoes causing him to lose balance when he came down from the top rope.

Shooster Hogan was never 6'9. The reason being wwf would have wanted to bill him higher than 6'9 if he truly was 6'9 but they billed him at 6'8 meaning he was under that. I would say Hogan was about 6'6 peak and now he is probably 6'4 or maybe a liile under the 6'4 mark.

I doubt Fralic wore bigger boots than Studd there. Fralic was only hired by the WWF for a one-off appearance at Wrestlemania II. Studd is the one who's height is being exaggerated to 6'10. So if Fralic is 6'5, WWE would probably never let the guy wear bigger footwear than the biggest wrestlers they have to make the make the height difference between them even smaller than it already is.

I'm not trying to downgrade Hogan's peak height down to 6'4, in fact my opinion is that he was 6'5.75 when he was young, I'm just puzzled as to why when you bring in someone with a height from outside the wrestling world like a 6'5 Fralic and he is all but the same height as Studd, who was the 2nd tallest guy in wrestling in the 80's behind Andre, it makes you wonder. I don't care what anybody says, Hogan was 2+ inches shorter than Studd in the early 80's. I always thought that Studd was 6'8 but that video has me confused. Maybe I should just assume that Fralic was 6'6 and that he had boots on.

I agree with JT, nobody matched up as well with Studd in the 80's as fralic did, much less Hogan. Hogan had alot of matches with Studd in the 80's and they would do the Roman Knuckle thing and I would say that Hogan at best was a goodt 2 inches shorter than Studd the way Fralic is 1 inch shorter. Which is wild because I here that Fralic was only 6'5, that suggests a 6'4 peak Hogan, and an absolute peak of maybe 6'7 for Studd. If Fralic does not have cowboy boots on or something, Hogan's and Studd's height's were hyped to epic perportions.

WRONG.

That is an interesting observation anonymous because I also didn't see much difference between Fralic and Studd. There was definetly a bigger difference between Studd and Hogan. Is there any way that Fralic had on bigger footwear or could he possibly be taller than 6'5. I am just curious because for some reason 6'4 peak sounds wrong for Hogan because that would make Andre like 6'9 which I dont think is possible, is it?

Good point anonymous. I've stated it before, but got little response.
Anonymous said on 18/Feb/08
I have a observation that I do not think anybody accounts for when analyizing "in the ring" staredown heights. That it is not a flat, constant surface, it sags and dips under the weight of wrestlers, its almost like a floating shock absorber, and in the corners, one is heigher up than if they were in the middle of the ring. So if one guy is alot heavier than the other guy, he is going to sink in more than the other guy and be preceived as not being as tall as he would otherwise be, This would explain alot of pics, like the Studd/Fralic pics, a 350lbs studd, 285lbs Fralic, or a 520lbs Giant with a 295lbs Hogan. The real heavy guys in the ring are going to experience "sinkage".

Hogan's 24" pythons were actually 22" and his chest was 55". Andre's arms were 19.5" and his chest was 71". And Andre's waist was an amazing 58" and his thighs were 35".

No, Davidson did not have to take 4 seconds and body slam obese men, he han to wrestle for real with 280 lbs men who were all muscle, all week long in practice and in games for 13 years,17 including college. And these guys were fighting back for real, not acting like they fighting back. That's much better for the back, neck and knees. the average guy that hogan body slammed was a 240 lbs guy who was jumping up into his arms for him.

Hulk hogan claims to have lost height because of surgeries which had to be done because of the crazy activity he did in the ring such as bodyslam the 500+ pound Andre the giant twice and KIng Kong Bundy a few times along with other very obese wrestlers. People in other professions don't do such crazy things so they don't lose as much height as did hogan by age 50 Davidson might not have lost as much height as anonymous suggests because he didn't have to slam obese men.

I don't have anything against Hogan, in fact I like him, but I find it funny that everyone he is pictured with is assumed to be at their peak height, even if they are 60 years old in order to justify his epic height loss. When only he get's to say he's lost like 3.5 inch by age 50. If he can lose height, other ex-athletes and celebs who are old also can be down an inch or more too. I mean, Tom Glavine is a geizzer, Ozzie Smith is a real geizzer both of which played forever and were subject to the same riggers of being a pro athlete and I'm sure those two are not the same height as they were when they were 25 either.

I'm beginning to think that some of these lengendary wrestlers like hulk were so much shorter than advertized. One only needs to look at Studd/Fralick photos and see Studd only being about an inch taller than 6'5 Fralick. Hogan was always at least 2 inch shorter than studd even back in the early 80's. And studd and hogan were listed at 6'11 - 6'8 respectivly, makes one think of a 6'6 studd and a 6'4 hogan.

Here is the Davidson/Hogan picture for those who forget (Click Here). Hogan is maybe 1" or 1.25" (at most) shorter than Davidson and taller than the 6'5" actor to his right.

Why is it that Ben davidson found it necessary to wear cowboy boots if he was that comfortable with his height. I am not saying davidson wore lifts I am just saying anything is possible. I might be wrong. If you look at Hogan and Andre you can see how tall hogan truly is. I am sorry if I insulted you Gramps.
Hulk Fan: No insult taken, in fact it was MY comment that was snidely. I think we are actually in agreement about Hogan's peak height (I say 6'5.5" to 6'6"). My only point is I think Ben Davidson is a straight-forward guy who would never think to wear lifts. If he wore cowboys boots it's just that he felt like wearing cowboy boots, not that he wanted to look taller.

....hogan is the most unfairly downgraded guy on this website

I didn't see the HKB show, but didn't you say that Hogan tried on his old jeans from the 1980s that fit, except at the waist? IMO, Hogan's height loss is a combination of the normal aging process (maybe 0.5" to 0.75

Hulk Hogan is down to 6'4", the past is the past, so six-five six-six is crap now. At 45 years old I myself stand 6'4" maybe 6'3.5" approaching my late 40's

JT thats true, not sure the name of the episode but it may have been the one where they move house to miami. i have the whole first season on my pc so that leaves about another 37 episodes to look through, lol, there are four or five HKB episodes on tv each night over here on various channels like mtv, mtv1, hits, vh1 etc so i will come across it again some night hopefully and then post a link to it on here.

anyways in the episode linda is cleaning out the house and finds a load of old clothes in the closet, she picks up a pair of jeans and hogan says something along the lines of "wow i haven't seen those for like 20 years i wonder if they still fit", so he tries them on and they fit perfectly leg wise but he can't get them to close or even close to closing; in fact it looked like he had put on alot of extra inches around the waist over time, its crazy how a 300lb man could have a lean waist back in the day

Viper; what do you peg peak hogan at??? i know you and jason from past postings were not big believers in mega height loss (2-3") where it involved relatively young wrestlers (age 40-50)
Vegas said on 7/Feb/08
viper; wade and hogan are the exact same height there in 3 photos, hogan ain't closer to the camera both he and wade are directly behind 5'11 listed ozzie smith, wade ain't slouching either, he is standing sideways towards the camera while hogan is adopting a forward standing position. THIS IS hogan closer to the camera, i didn't post it first time around because some here would claim bias on my part, hogan has nearly 2" on wade there Click Here

hogan is the most unfairly downgraded guy on this website imo based on the people he has stood next too he is nothing under 6'3.5" today and standing at full posture like this he is probably close to 6'4 Click Here as he has looked in many photos/video with people like cowboy booted david hasselhoff, conan, lennox lewis, mr t, stacy keibler etc

Hogan was over 6'5 in his prime. He was at least 6'5.5 if not more.
Danimal said on 6/Feb/08
JT and Vegas do not want Hogan taller than 6'5" peak, so they will do EVERYTHING in their power to make sure that doesn't happen. Classic.
Hulk Fan said on 6/Feb/08
Gramps, I was just saying that the insole lifts were a possibility. I might be wrong about hulk'sheight, but I always thought he looked very overwhelmingly large in his matches in the 1980's.
Viper said on 6/Feb/08
Vegas, Wade is slouching and leaning a little while Hogan is standing perfectly straight and a little closer to the camera.
Vegas said on 6/Feb/08
peak hogan was approx 2 inches taller than bundy correct Click Here

however bundys real height is up in the air, he looks 7 inches shorter than kevin nash Click Here

this dude in the middle posted once on this website and claimed either 6'2.5 or 6'2.75 barefoot Click Here

the same dude looking about 6 inches shorter than Matt Morgan whom i pegged at between 6'8-6'9 in person Click Here

a few more wade and hogan photos, the two are the exact same height in these, hogan is no doubt wearing low dress shoes in his tux, wade and the other could be wearing anything to be honest, wade does like to wear cowboys but lets give him the benefit of the doubt here, a 1980s hogan would be wearing huge cowboys there no doubt

Hulk Fan, the davidson pic is the zubruter pic of Hogan's peak height. I saw the show and davidson was 2-2.25 inch taller, about the heel of a cowboy boot. If davidson went barefoot he would have been the same height as hogan,and hogan's heals were huge, the same size as davidson's. Davidson was an old retired NFL guy who was documented as a big 6'7 small 6'8, probably 6'8. The pic is from late 1984, a near peak hogan, who did have a little more hair in about 1980. It proves that hogan was no more than 6'6 peak and no less than 6'5. 6'5.75 peak for hogan and maybe as little as 6'5.25. It really is not any slight to hogan's height, a legit 6'5.75 barefoot is really tall and being just a couple of inches shorter than a guy who was maybe the tallest guy in the NFL when he was playing could be spun as showing that hogan was quite tall. It just puts a ceiling of 6'6 on an early 80's hogan.
Hulk Fan said on 5/Feb/08
We should have the heights of other older wresters on this website. For example King kong bundy, Big John Studd, Iron sheik etc. This is because if we compare the heights of all these wrestlers with Hogan that will give us a good estimation of how tall Hogan is. I personally thought Hogan looked 2-3 inches taller than both Bundy and the Bossman, who are 6'4, He also looked about 1-2 inches shorter than Studd, I am not sure if footwear played any part for any of these wrestlers but from this we can colnclude that Hogan was a strong 6'6 in his prime even if he wasn't 6'7 as he claims.

Hulk Fan said on 5/Feb/08
ANdre the giant was around 6'11 and hogan was 4-5 inches shorter making him at least 6'6. Another question I have is why do people constantly use the pic with Ben Davidson and Hulk Hogan and try to prove that hulk was under 6
'6. Ben davidson could have had insole lifts which could have made him appear significantly taller than hogan but in reality they could have been apart by only 1 inch.

Danimal: I've been gone for awhile, but the same arguments persist. It's as if all the evidence disappears every month (which, on a site like this, I guess happens that way). We reinvent the wheel about five to ten times every year with each celebrity!

How right you are. Rob should seriously consider archiving our contributions, rather than having it go away after 2-3 months. Then we have to deal with newbies who regurgiate the same stories. I know I and some others on here have contributed A LOT over the years and there is literally nothing to show of it. Why I keep coming back for more punishment is beyond me!!! haha..

Viper, I agree with you. I peg Hogan at precisely 6'3 1/4" today.
Viper said on 5/Feb/08
"Even if wade is a full inch taller than Hogan, Hogan is still a solid 6'4."

Wade was measured at 6-3 3/4. Hogan looks 6-3 or slightly under it there.

Viper said on 4/Feb/08
Wade has at least an inch on Hogan.
Danimal said on 4/Feb/08
Gramps, what Vegas is doing is trying to "prove" that Hogan hasn't lost THAT much height since his peak. He wants Hogan to be as tall as possible today, so that he can say that Hogan never really lost that much height and that it was all in his footwear. People have motives on this site Gramps.
miko said on 4/Feb/08
One video that will always favour a tall Hogan was the Andre one where he looked no more than 4 inches shorter than the 6"11-7"0 guy, putting him around 6"6-7.
Gramps said on 4/Feb/08
Vegas: in the other photos from that event, Dwayne Wade is standing much further away from Hogan, and he is further in the background than Hogan, giving a distorted perspective.
Vegas said on 3/Feb/08
Wade is standing on a small step/higher ground there, i have numerous other photos of that shoot but i am not at my computer but in malta atm so i cant post them, in them hogan and wade are the same height standing side by side

here are other shots from that event, hogan is slightly taller than wade in these when blown up Click Here
LV said on 2/Feb/08
No one with any sense is still calling him 6'5" to 6'6" today. We're trying to determine if he's even 6'4" (barefoot) now and if he was ever 6'6" (barefoot) in his prime.
Gramps said on 2/Feb/08
JT: Yes, my debunking of the 6'5 to 6'6 claims only refers to today's Hulk. My personal opinion is that he was between 6'5 and 6'6 in his prime. I say this because pro wrestling posters from his first year or two in the "sport" listed him as 6'6. Knowing how those wrestling promoters liked to exaggerate, I see no way that they would promote Hulk as 6'6 if he was actually taller than 6'6. I'd say 6'5.5" in his bare feet back in the day would be very close to "reality."

Hogan must hate to get invited to these celebrity athlete photo ops. Here's a guy who was once listed at 6'9 having a 6'4 Guard look down at him.
JT said on 2/Feb/08
Gramps, we're talking a peak height Hogan, not Hogan in 2007. He's had hip and knee replacement, plus back surgery, so most here believe he's lost some height (IMO around 1.5", others believe up to 3"). Dwayne Wade was measured at 6'3 3/4". If that pic involves a level ground plus comparable shoes for everyone, Hogan would be lucky to hit 6'1", which no one is buying. Either Wade is on higher ground (a step), he's on his toes, he's wearing shoes with huge heels, or he's closer to the camera than it appears.

Ozzie Smith (usually listed at 5'10") is to Hogan's left and is a bit closer to the camera. Hogan has him by around 5 inches, so Hogan again looks in the 6'3" to 6'4" range as of 2007.
Anonymous said on 2/Feb/08
Wow, that is a great picture and a great commentary from Gramps. I agree with the entire analisys, and the thing is Wade is only about 6'4.5 so 6'3.5 for Hogan is maybe generous. the only thing that would change things is if Wade had big boots on or something and I dought that. I think also that would say a 6'5.75 absolute max for a about 1980 Hogan, that would be letting him have 2.25-2.75 inch height loss Which is beyound reasonable for a guy by age 50.
Gramps said on 2/Feb/08
OK boys, time to put those 6'5 and 6'6" claims to bed once and for all. Here's a recent Getty Images photo of the Hulkster next to the 6'0 Tom Glavine and the 6'4 to 6'5 Dwayne Wade. Doing a little interpolation, Hogan appears to be real close to 6'3.5". If Wade were standing "tall" (like Hogan), he'd be a good two inches taller. On the other hand, Hulk looks to have about 3.5" on Glavine. Hogan is certainly no shorter than 6'3 or taller than 6'4. Period.

Hulk Hogan was certainly over 6'5 in his prime. His claim of 6'7 is possible.

Guys like hogan and Andre, from the pre internet - bloggishere days would never had been able to get away with the height exagerations now. 6'5 305 hogan saying 6'8 340 and 6'11+ 450 Andre saying 7'5 520. About 1995 was the cut off when guys had to start getting real with heights and weights because in the information age your going to get outted to easily. Back in the 70' and early 80's I would watch the interviews with those guys and Mean Gene and say to myself wow, Gene's probably 6'1 or 6'2 and they dwarf him, they must be as big as they say. What could you do? you had nothing else to go by. That's why a guy Like Sid Eudy who came in to late and was a legit 6'7 and ended up going with that seemed to screw everything up.

Hulk Hogan and David Hasselholf are exactly the same height, david hasselholf is not taller than Hulk Hogan.

From what I have heard Kane isn't actually taller than taker, rather he just had bigger boots so that he could look taller because he is supposed to be a monster in the wwe. UT being 6'9 is not out of the question.
