Alex2, I dont believe Daniaml was calling me a Liar he was saying Taker was Lying
Alex2 said on 30/Jan/08
See danimal don't jump to conclusions and think you know it all and technically call Frank a liar of such. Get a life man YOU! really need to grow up, wow takes one to know one! Idiot!
Frank said on 30/Jan/08
The Reason i Believed Taker was that when i asked him how tall he was there was no one around except Paul Brearer and a friend of mine who took the picture
and he also looked that height too me and he could have said 6ft 10 like he was being billed so i thought he was being honest I guess he lied ?
Danimal said on 30/Jan/08
Alex2 says on 27/Jan/08
From what Frank has said about Taker saying hes 6'9 could be true, i highly doubt he would lie.
Kid, one day when you grow up, you won't believe everything people tell you at face value. Taker has also stated 6'8" MANY times in the past, as well as in his biographies. He was also BILLED at 6'8" in the WCW. He was not taller than that.
Andre only stood on a platform ONCE for ONE interview with Vince. Alex2, THINK about a 475-485 pound man (what he weighed at in the late 70's) standing on a CHAIR. Don't you think it would have broken kid?
Hulk Fan said on 29/Jan/08
Hulk Hogan was never 6'8 but his claim of 6'7 may be the truth because he looked very tall in all of his matches in the 1980's. He has lost height over the years yet still looks to be a solid 6'4.
Alex2 said on 27/Jan/08
I really do think Andre used to stand on a chair or or something, if you look at the picture with Vince interviewing him, Vince comes up to below his shoulder and Hogan in the ring comes upto or above his forhead.
Frank said on 27/Jan/08
Hi Mike i never met The Rock or Triple H or Stone Cold but i think Stone Cold is about 6ft because he was shorter than Vince and i think Triple H is 6ft 1 because he was shorter than a 6ft 2 actor on the Drew Carey Show (Oswald) but he can look 6ft 3 in ring gear (lifts) and i believe the Rock is about 6ft 3
Alex2 said on 27/Jan/08
From what Frank has said about Taker saying hes 6'9 could be true, i highly doubt he would lie.
Frank said on 26/Jan/08
Alex2, I work nights so i dont get to watch it alot like i use too
Well i asked him how tall he was back in 1993 and he told me 6ft 9 and he did look it but when your that tall its hard to judge but he did not look shorter than 6ft 8 too me
Alex2 said on 26/Jan/08
Frank are you still a WWE fan today? And what wouldyou say taker was when you met him, my guess is he was 6'8.25" peak.
derek said on 25/Jan/08
He was just on Conan and looked the same height as him. Anything under 6'3 is out.
miko said on 24/Jan/08
Rob do you think an older Hogan could ever go as low as 6"0, or even lower? I mean he is only 54 now, so he could easily lose a couple more inches with age.
Anonymous said on 23/Jan/08
I agree with hogan being about 6'4 ,how does surgery make you shrink anyway?

One thing Hogan has is terrible posture, especially when wrestling, would you agree Rob?

During the Hogan - Vince match....If people can't tell that Vince had at least 3 inches of cushion on the bottom of his shoes, then I don't know what to say, because during an episode of Hogan Knows Best, when Hogan meets with Vince to discuss his future in WWE, Hogan clearly has 3-4 inches on him. ( he's not wearing boots). Furthermore... I met Hogan in New York about 6 months ago at a signing and he was standing ( 6'5...) because I know I'm 6'2, he had 3 inches on me. Thanks
Danimal said on 22/Jan/08
Hulk Hogan is 6'3.5" tall, he wears lifts to look taller brother.
Halb said on 22/Jan/08
Tuga it is a rule. Giants are great commodities in wrestling, they don't get billed below their real height. It would go against everything wrestling is. Calaway could claim any height, what he say's isn't necessarily the truth.
Frank said on 22/Jan/08
Alex 2 When you see him in person you would change your mind on that
He was Big Man again i seen him back in 93 but i doubt he lost alot of height

Yes Anon,I`m a huge Wayne Gretzky fan.As far as his height I think he peaked at about 5'11.5",although he seems to have lost a bit of height through-out the years.And I think Mario Lemieux is a solid 6'4",he always seemed a little taller than Eric Lindros who was also listed at 6'4" but was probably rounding up.Rob how about giving Gretzky his own page,he is one of the only hockey players known universally.
Viper said on 19/Jan/08
Hogan at times doesnt even look 6-3 when hes barefoot on his own show. Id be very surprised If Hogan is over 6-3 today.
Alex2 said on 19/Jan/08
Danimal although i dont believe Taker was over 6'8 if even a little, sometime they do even billed wrestler down like Regal, Henry etc, maybe he was 6'8.5 building down to 6'8 at one point, but i see your point :)
Danimal said on 19/Jan/08
No Tuga. Taker was billed at 6'8" at times in WCW, therefore he was NOT over that. Even he has stated that he was 6'8" in articles and interviews over the years (off camera of course).
Alex2 said on 19/Jan/08
I think 6'6.5 peak sound right but 6'6 is fair, Rob has him good here.
Anonymous said on 19/Jan/08
Hogan was a flat 6'6 way-way back in the 70's when he was discovered. By about age 25 most everybody is as tall as they are ever going to get and Hogan was 25 in 1978. Almost nobody knew about Terry Boulder back then but if you look at some of the pictures of him he had this huge head of hair like a hippy, that made a big difference rather than being bald.
the shredder said on 19/Jan/08
I think Rob can give him 6'5.75 peak ... because there is celeb listed here as that height !
tuga said on 19/Jan/08
Danimal, your using lowest figure possible for taker, or below even, because there
Frank said on 19/Jan/08
Danimal like i posted there was an interview with Vince speaking about how he met Hogan and he said he was a blonde hair guy about 6ft 6 and 300 lbs
I do believe Hogan was atleast 6ft 5 back then....6ft 6 possible and i do agree today he is alittle over 6ft 3
Danimal said on 18/Jan/08
Frank, for peak, I believe Taker was around 6'8" (or slightly under). THAT I won't take away from you friend.
JT, even if Hilbilly was only 6'5", Hogan was consistently taller than him. What does that tell you JT? YUP, Hogan was over 6'5" between 1985-1989.
Frank said on 18/Jan/08
Damimal Leno does not wear lifts i see him with guys who are 6ft 2 and he is a couple of inches shorter so 5ft 11 for him is about right..YES I met Taker close to 15 years ago and thats all i have to go by because i havent seen him since He maybe lost an inch ?? We are talking Peak heights on here all i know he told me Personally he was 6ft 9 and he looked very tall too me
Alan said on 18/Jan/08
I live in Tampa and have run into Terry many times. He is friends with my ex girlfriends dad who is 6'5. Hogan is the same exact height as him with similiar foot wear. Hogan never stands up straight which is part of the problem. Being near him on several occasions trust me he's quite big. Also consder the fact that surgeries and age are factors. He was orginally billed at 6'8 by fred blassie,vince sr, and jr. He was actually 6'6 and wore 2 inch lifts which were popular inthe 80's which is why he waas so much taller than vince jr in the 80's than he is now. John stud, wore them also to become thhis billed height of 6'10.
JT said on 17/Jan/08
Here's Fralic, Hillbilly Jim and Spivey.
Click Here Fralic looks like he and Jim would be around the same height if Fralic lifted his chin. Spivey and Studd would have matched up well height-wise. Here's Jim and 6'4" Jim Covert (rounding down?)
Click Here I still think Jim is 6'5".

Okay Frank. You have to let go of ONE thing when it is set in your mind. For example that time you met Taker 15 years ago and that time you saw Brooke on Leno. Leno was packing something, because if Brooker is 5'8", then Hogan is MAX 6'1" today.

Danimal is right some tall girls downplay there height but not Brooke Hogan
Again she was the same height or alittle shorter than Leno with high heels on so she cannot be 5ft 11 barefoot again Brooke is a tall girl 5ft 8 or 5ft 9 for a woman is tall

I saw him on conan and conan was taller than him so he's about 6' 3ish

Now people are comparing themselves to Hogan???? Fred Ennis, I sincerely doubt you've had your spine, neck, knees and back operated on and took 30 years of wrestling punishment, or maybe you have!!!
Vegas, you're a fool. TALL girls DO downplay their height. Do you think a girl who is 5'10" + is perfectly comfortable with that? My conclusion is that you don't know many women....hahaha.
Fred Ennis said on 16/Jan/08
At 52, I am now a modest 6'4 3/4" ( 195cm ) but on my Texas license I am listed 6'5", 6'5 1/4" (196cm) was my peak height. Unlike Hogan, I don't lie or exaggerate my height. I'm 6'5 248
Michael Mills said on 16/Jan/08
Hulk Hogan is 6'4", and I agree with whoever posted that he's the same height as Jeff the other 6'4 guy, and I myself stand 6'4". Jeff and Hogan stood the same size I saw American Gladiators, now let's end this bullcrap about Hogan being 6'6 or 6'7"
Anon said on 16/Jan/08
Hey Gretz ru a hockey fan?
I've always wonder what Gretzky's height was, he's listed 6-1 officially in his NHL profile but I always thought he was 6-0, and he's listed in some places as low as 5-10?
And how about Mario? Lemieux is listed officially at 6-4 but a lot of people say he's 6-5 and he did look close to
Michael Jordan's height when they were golfing?
Gretz said on 16/Jan/08
During the interview with Studd and Fralic at times they looked nearly the same height,at other times Studd looked almost 2 inches taller.I think its important to point out that you can`t see their legs at any point,and when Fralic gets right in Studd`s face he appears to be trying to stand tall.Anyway I still think Studd was 6'6.5" to 6'7".But lets see what everyone else thinks,here is the video of WM2.(
Click Here)Go to the 27:44 mark to see the interview,by the way its amazing how much higher Studd`s shoulders and chest are compaired to Fralic`s.If they were built the same way Studd would be 4 to 5 inches taller.
JT said on 16/Jan/08
Click Here Fralic looks the same height as Jim if he straightened up. Agreed Vegas - Spivey and Studd would measure up well height-wise. Nash would have had up to 4 inches on Studd.
Vegas said on 16/Jan/08
nobody is downgrading studd because of hogan, they never even had a staredown so its really up in the air how much height difference there is between those guys
people are putting studd at ~6'6 because he is no more than 1 inch taller than Bill Fralic on video whom the NFL said was 6'5
Click Here Dan Spivey has the same height advantage over fralic in a photo that Studd does and for sure Spivey wasn't taller than 6'6 otherwise Kevin Nash is the best part of 6'11. Studd also looked 6'6 in full length photos contributor Chris posted about a year back with vince mcmahon and he also looked 6'6 next to One Man Gang. If you have proof Studd is taller than 6'6 by all means post that proof, none of our estimates are watertight, all of us are open to new evidence (well i hope we all are)

Danimal you really need to get watching HKB because it is clearly obvious you are missing out on a ton of stuff
Mike said on 15/Jan/08
Hogans daughter Brooke does wear some pretty big heals/footwear but id say shes 5'10, def not 5'11 or 5'8. Also in some pics Brooke isnt too much shorter then Hogan, in others he towers over her, but really guys I am curiious to see how much real height mr age 54 hollywood hogan has lost, we do know he was at least 6'5ish possibly 6'6 for his peak
Anonymous said on 15/Jan/08
Hogan 6'5.75 312 peak, 1980. 6'4.75 285, 1992. 6'3.75 280, 2008.
Mark said on 15/Jan/08
Again WWF adding on 3-4 inches on people and then looking stupid. Vegas and Frank right on the money. Studd listed @ 6'10 really 6'6, don't learn lessons though did the same with Taker years later.
Danimal said on 15/Jan/08
Oh NO, heaven's for bid that girls don't LIE about their height!!!! Call the police Vegas!!! God for bid she didn't downplay her height. She is a girl and maybe just maybe is slightly self-conscious. She has also stated she is 5'11" and at other times 6'0" and no way in hell does Hogan have 6" on Brooke. Put down that delusional crack pipe Vegas. More like 4-5".
Frank said on 15/Jan/08
I watched Leno that night and Brooke was about the same height or alittle shorter than Jay who is 5ft 11 and Brooke was in high heels so her being 5ft 11(barefoot) is not true.... Danimal she is tall even if she is 5ft 9 barefoot thats tall for a woman
Vegas said on 15/Jan/08
brooke cannot be 6'0 barefoot, she said 5'10 herself on HKB when asked by a guy.
Do you watch HKB?? when both she and hogan are barefoot standing next to each other hulk is at least 6" taller, a 6'0 barefoot brooke would equal a 6'6 barefoot hulk
brother_h said on 15/Jan/08
umm if nick is 6'0, then wouldnt that make brooke 6'1? or did nick grow alittle? it wont be sudden coz he's 17 now so his height will be slowing down.
Danimal said on 14/Jan/08
You're right Frank, Brooke is 6'0" barefoot and not the 5'8" you claim she is because Leno was taller than her in her heels. Dude, she is one tall chick. I date a girl who is 5'9.5" and Brooke just looks like a taller woman.
Danimal said on 14/Jan/08
WHAT?!?!?! No way did Hogan have 4-5" on Macho Man. Anyways, when Randy Poffo (Randy Savage) played pro baseball, he was listed at 6'1". Could have been a legit 6'0". Look, enough is enough. We know Hogan was at least 6'5" at his peak. I aim more towards 6'6", but can live with 6'5" and obviously not lower.

Nick 6'0"
I take these heights as gospel. You can't lie on your driver's license, right???
Danimal said on 13/Jan/08
I like how Vegas says 1"-1.25" difference between Hogan and Studd. Isn't that convenient. It's because Vegas believes that Hogan was 6'4 3/4"-6'5" at his peak and he conveniently puts Studd at 6'6". I believe that Studd was 6'7", or slightly under that and Hogan 6'6", or slightly under that.
Alex2 said on 13/Jan/08
Lol Greg cant be 6'0.5" or Hogan is 6'9 lol, alot of difference their (camera angle maybe?)
Danimal said on 13/Jan/08
Red, everything you said was wrong. Studd was a weak 6'7" and Hogan was a weak 6'6". There was 1" between the two of them in the mid 80's. Studd was ONLY billed at 6'10" in the WWF, while Hogan was billed at 6'8". To say that Hogan was 6'3.5", when he was clearly taller than 6'5"+ Hilbilly Jim in ALL of their pictures and encounters is ludicrous. As for today, sure, Hogan is 6'3"-6'4", but not 20 years ago.
Danimal said on 13/Jan/08
LV, as much I have tried to be objective about JT's posts and comparisons, I can't, because he is very biased and I just can't. THIS is how Hogan stacked up to a legite 5'11"+ (billed at 6'1" when in baseball) Randy Savage BEFORE ANU height loss occured:
Click Here
Vegas said on 13/Jan/08
hogan and studd were never 2.5" apart, it was about 1 inch, maybe 1.25" but no more. compare photos of hogan/andre staredowns with studd/andre staredowns and there isn't 2.5" difference. If hogan was really 2.5" shorter than studd then studd should have only been 2, 2.5" max shorter than andre, in actuality it was closer to 4"
JT said on 13/Jan/08
Winston, that's probably why Studd appeared taller in the ring than he really was. Andre and Hillbilly Jim were the same way (high shoulders). The NBA refers to players as having "wasted space" when they are the same height as others but have a long neck (the shoulders are lower, so their vertical reach is less).
Anonymous, Hogan looked at least 20 lbs. heavier than Fralic, who most websites actually have at 280 lbs.
Red said on 13/Jan/08
Fralic looks 6
winston gillette said on 13/Jan/08
Those pictures of Studd with Fralic are very strange. Studd must have had a compressed neck. Compare their nipple and shoulder heights!!!
Anonymous said on 13/Jan/08
Those pics with studd and fralic freak me out. I watched numerous matches between studd and hogan in the early to mid 80's and hogan did not even size up with studd as well as fralic does!!. If fralic is only 6'5 then hogan was only about 6'3.50 in his prime, Hogan was a good 2.5 inches shorter than studd back then, which seemed right at the time since studd was billed as 6'10-6'11 and hogan at 6'8, also if fralic is only 285 I would not give hogan more than 290-295. Studd was way bigger than hogan.
Frank said on 13/Jan/08
Yes i believe Andre was 6ft 10 @ the Wrestlemania's that sounds about right
Studd @ 6ft 6 and that makes Hogan 6ft 4 1/2 to 6ft 5 That could be right??
Anonymous said on 13/Jan/08
Hogan became champ in 1983 not 1984. If fralic is only 6'5, (I suspect he's 6'6) then Studd was only 1 inch taller, which scews everything. A 6'6 Studd downgrades all the wrestlers heights from that time way down, heck, Andre was only about 4 inch taller than studd and he was billed at 7'4-7'5 at that time. He may have been only 6'10.
LV said on 12/Jan/08
Funny picture JT (
Click Here). Your line would indicate that that Bossman's head goes all the way to the top of his hat when his hat is sitting high on his head. Your other pictures with him and HBJ where he is taller make more sense. The more recent picture of HBJ & Hogan proves Hogan has lost height.
JT said on 12/Jan/08
Hogan in early 1984 with ~ 5
supes78 said on 12/Jan/08
Yeah, I saw him standing eye to eye with that 6'4" contender on Gladiators, too. I don't know if Hogan has bad posture or if he purposely slouches when he's doing interviews but her rarely stands perfectly erect. Still, he looked the same height as the 6'4" contender on Gladiators.

Hogan was always a big 6'5 small 6'6. Small 6'4 now, 315 lbs biggest, 270 smallest, 280 now, a little bit of a gut.

Hogan is 6'4" because he only stood as tall as the other 6'4" guy Jeff last week on American Gladiators. I saw it on NBC, I even taped the show and studied it so I have proof.

Sorry Kiat, but Hogan had 2" on Bossman. I have more than one interview with them, as well as wrestling footage where Hogan has close to 2" on him and not merely 3/4" of an inch.

Hogan struck me as being the same height as 6'4" Conan. I think Rob's current assessment of Hogan's height is accurate. And yes, 20 years ago, we would have seen more of sizable difference in height between the two.
Viper said on 9/Jan/08
Those heights on American Gladiators are probably fudged some. Danimal, Didnt you say that Hogan always looked taller than Hillbilly Jim in the 80s?
Danimal said on 9/Jan/08
First of all, Hogan is standing in front of Conan in the STILL pic Vegas posted and the camera angle is in Hogan's favor. Hogan looked to have THAT EXACT SAME AMOUNT of height on 6'5"+ Hilbilly Jim in both 1985 and 1989, yet people used to say that Hogan is closer to the camera, so we need to chop off an inch at least, YET, now those same people ignore THIS. Conan is at least 6'4" and some say taller (up to 6'5"). I believe that Hogan is actually under 6'4" today. We do NOT see his shoes in this video, remember that. In 1985, Hogan would have been legitimately taller than Conan, the same way he was taller than 6'3.5"-6'4" Goerge Foreman in the early 90's. Hogan is 6'3"-6'3.5" today and has lost more than one inch. Why do you ALL IGNORE how he stacked up to Vince McMahon in 2003-2005, compared to the way he used to??? Then he was in regular dress shoes. For all we know, he is wearing his heels with Conan. Get over yourself Vegas and go for a walk.
lester simmons said on 9/Jan/08
I watched American Gladiators on Monday and met Jeff who stands 6'4" and he stood next to Hulk hogan, they both stood exactly the same height. Hulk hogan is 6'4" tall. Too bad he lost to a guy who's my height, 6'0" Adonis
Frank said on 9/Jan/08
Hogan Looked close to 2 inches shorter than Lennox Lewis who is listed @ 6ft 5
And Hogan looked alittle shorter than Snoop Dog who's listed @ 6ft 4 so i think Hogan is alittle under 6ft 4
Anonymous said on 9/Jan/08
As far as the Gladiators padding the heights...Not really. here is how I know. The guy named Titan, is Mike O'Hearn. He was very popular among the bodybuilding and fitness modeling world back in the mid 1990's through about 2001. He also did a little competive bodybuilding in the 1990's as well. I've been to many bodybuilding shows over the years. And back in 1996 I personaly witnessed O'Hearn get measured (Barefooted) and weighed wearing nothing but posing trunks. And once again...no shoes, he was barefooted. And he was an even 6'2"... and I believed he weighed either 233 or 238, which was his contest weight, while ripped to the bone. It's plain to see that he is about 15 to 20-lbs heavier right now. And the American Gladiators show has been listing him at 6'3" and 251-lbs. So, with his foot wear... he would be around 6'3" or so. And the 250 to 255-lbs seems very accurate too. P.S. I don't know if this is 100% true or not...but a good friend of mine works in the medical field, and one of his best friends used to be a Nurse with the WWF/WWE. And he used to perform physicals on the athletes. And he said that back in 1983 when Bollea/Hogan resigned with the WWF, he did his physical. And that Hogan/Bollea was 6'4.75" (Barefooted) and 6'6" in his wrestling boots. and he weighed 303-lbs on that day back in December of 1983. So, Terry's peak height should be changed to 6'5". Also, his 24" arms were actually 22" at thier largest.

Frank said on 9/Jan/08
Conan is about 6ft 3 to 6ft 3.5 because when ever he has someone that is 6ft 4 on his show he always lookes alittle shorter like Jeff Goldblum and i remember Michael Clarke Duncan looked an inch taller than Conan and Charles Barkley looked almost 3 inches on Conan
miko said on 9/Jan/08
If Conan is 6"4, then Hogan is looking a strong 6"5.
Vegas said on 9/Jan/08
viper thats not the normal shake hands and off you go shot, there conan and hogan are standing next to each other for a good 20 seconds, cena looked about 3" shorter than conan on the show so i can guarantee i would look taller than him :)
Hogan matches up with conan the exact same way David Hasselhoff did, but then i expected that, all the earlier downgrading of hogan from a year or two ago seems to be looking further and further from the truth these days...
hogan standing fully tall there with hogan (yes he can still stand tall) wow where are those guys now who claimed hogan could well be 6'2 and less today, lol

KingNick said on 9/Jan/08
Vegas and Anonymous, I honestly didn't see any shots of Leila's footwear you could be right, what was surprising me was the 6'4" guy next to Hogan. Hogan looked 2 inches taller it just didn't make sense unless hogan's on a lift kick. He didn't stand next to Justice Smith at all, I wonder if the Gladiators are exaggerated too though.
Cool clip Vegas! I've been wanting to see that. Hogan does look taller real fast. He's always billed as 6'7" in wrestling, maybe he wears lifts around 6'4" guys to live up to the billing?
American Gladiators was great by the way, definitely check it out.
Danimal said on 9/Jan/08
Actually, upon having watched the interview a few more times, it's obvious that Hogan's upper torso when seated in that chair IS shorter in length than it used to be. When he sat down in the past, he still looked tall in the chair. Now he just looks wide.
Danimal said on 9/Jan/08
I see them at around the same height there. I promise you though, Hogan in 1985 would have REALLY made Conan appear small. One thing though, is that Hogan is buffed up and I believe the 285 pounds he claims to be today and may very well be 6'4"-6'5" in shoes. For 54 years old, he's in fantastic shape, height loss or not.

Frank said on 8/Jan/08
KingNick, i havent watched the show but i bet your right we Know Hogan is less than 6ft 4 now so they probably add inches to the heights of the contestants
Vegas said on 8/Jan/08
kingnick did Ali have heels on?? that would explain why a 6ft guy looked the same height as her, i would really be surprised if the contestants were overbilled on gladiators, its supposed be a david vs goliath contest
did hogan stand next to legit 6'8 Justice Smith at any time during the show??
tuga said on 8/Jan/08
Yes Mike, but hogan did use to dwarf 5
KingNick said on 7/Jan/08
Have you guys been watching American Gladiators? I think they're exaggerating the men's height by 2 inches. Check it out next time. They had a guy who was billed as 6' tonight as tall as Laila Ali and she's supposedly 5'10". And another guy who was 6'4" but only looked 6'2ish to me when compared to Hogan, who looked to have almost 2 inches on him.
Mike said on 7/Jan/08
the thing with Hogan is currently he is taller then 6 footers but back in the day lifts or not he made donald trump (at least 6'2 maybe 6'3) look not that tall, i mean Hogan easily has trump by 3-4 inches...we need a Hogan trump photo circa 2008 i bet hogan has him by 1 mayyyyyyyyyyyybe 2 inches at the most
Mike said on 7/Jan/08
Thanx danimal, frank,halb and alex....i did see the new gladiator show where Hogan was clearly taller then the "5'10" contestestants but he didnt make the 5'10 contestants look puny like a 6'4 to 6'5 man could, i do believe Hogan is 6'3 n change today, but Im curious for his peak, the most common peak for Hogan as posters post would be 6'5.5 or 6'6 maxx thanx for the inputs, but really is it official Hogan has lost a minimum of 1-2 inches in height are we all in agreement of that??? of has he lost nothing to 1 inch and the other 1-2 inches disapeerance was the lifts???
Vegas said on 6/Jan/08

No Danny. Many people have lost this much height. Stick around this site for awhile and you will see.

He is getting older, but he still looks tall... I am not sure that he used to be 6'6. I know about his surgeries, but 3 inches is to big difference.
Frank said on 4/Jan/08
Guys i believe Hogan was a Solid 6ft 5 back in the day (unless he wore lifts)
I seen an Interview with Vince along time ago and he was talking about how he met Hogan and he said he met A Blonde hair guy About 6ft 6 and 300 lbs so maybe he was telling the truth He did not say 6ft 8 so there is a chance Hogan could have been 6ft 6

For Hogan
Peak- 6'5 1/2
Now- 6'3
Danimal said on 4/Jan/08
Frank, you should make it a little clearer for the newbie kids when you state Hogan's CURRENT height. The new kids don't understand that Hogan WAS taller in the past.
Danimal said on 4/Jan/08
Mike, Hogan is not the same height today as he once was. 6'3"-6'3.5" today and 6'5"-6'6" peak and yes, Hogan was "more" taller (even though that is far from proper English) than Vince, which is EVIDENT when you look at them in the 1980's and then see their 2003 match together.
Mike said on 3/Jan/08
Frank I know that you have met many of the wrestlers in your lifetime, and I agree with most of what you said about them, I saw Vince once while i was at front row of a raw, he looked 6'1ish give or take an inch, and believe it or not his shoes didnt look real bulky or suspicious, whats ur opinion on Hogan Peak since you say/estimate Hogan is 6'3.5 (which is still tall/very tall, but very weird, considering Hogan was built up as a 6'7'6'8 guy..and in Rocky hes billed as 7 feet...lol), btw Hogan was "more" taller then Vince back in the day then currently even though Vince is like 8 yrs older (though someone wouldnt guess that)
Frank said on 2/Jan/08
Nick Hogan is not 6ft 1 he was Shorter than Vince who is 6ft 1 or alittle taller. Hogan is 6ft 3 1/2 at best
Braden said on 2/Jan/08
No i still think he is around 6'4" or 6'5" because i saw him in a photo with his son Nick that was taken verry recently and he was easily 3 inches taller than nick who stands 6'1" or so ive heard he's that tall.

JT, you and I both agree that Hogan WAS 6'5" at his peak, so what are we fighting about. We've both been on here for a long time and we've watched people come and go, so we should be at least friendly with each other. I'm calling for a truce. What do you say? You seem like an intelligent guy. I just appreciate objectivity, seeing this world has become anything but and that's why the state of the world is in shambles. I say 6'5" + for Hogan. You say Max 6'5". I say close enough. Let's leave it at that okay?
JT said on 30/Dec/07
Quit whining like a little girl, Danimal, and accept it. Hogan shifted his weight to his right leg in the second pic; Earthquake did not move at all. At that high a camera angle, the farther away you are in the ring, the taller the top of your head will appear in the pic. Why does the top rope at the far end appear taller than the top rope in the front, genius? If Earthquake is closer to the camera, than Hogan is even shorter than I thought. BTW, Hogan's boots had thicker soles too.
tuga said on 30/Dec/07
I agree hogan lost height, but he is still tall today, in my opinion 6
Danimal said on 30/Dec/07
You're so full of it JT. Earthquake is closer to us in the second pic and YOU KNOW IT!!!! This gives him a height advantage. SUCH double standars it's sickening. You claim that even because Hogan was taller than Hilbilly Jim in their 1985 pic, it doesn't count, because Hogan is standing closer to the camera, as Earthquake is in this one, which makes them the same height. SO FULL of it!! Where is LV, who reveals you guys for what you are: Biased Hypocrites!

Halb said on 28/Dec/07
No one else has said one way or the other as I remember. A few agreed that he was said to be 6'9 around the time of No Holds Barred, but no-one agreed either way aboot him being billed at 6'7. that's something I remember. Sky Magazine also had him at 6'7, but then they put Sgt Slaughter at 6'6. That was at the time of WM7.

Met him at Gold's Gym, good posture and 192cm or 6'3.5.

Halb, scan that article where he is listed at 6'7". The WWF had him at 6'8" until he left in 1993. Everyone on here agreed on that except you if I remember correctly.

lsu alum said on 28/Dec/07
from all of the evidence 6'3".5 seems right to me however i work at the lsu med center(a teaching hospital,no im not a DR.)and a Dr.of ortho said its highly improbable that hogan lost that much height at his age regardless of the surgeries,injuries etc.i just don't know im begaining to question his peak height

I have a program from '91 where he was billed at 6'7. Tho PWI still had him at 6'8.

He said in the show Hogan Knows Best that he is currently 6'5", but that may be stretching it. He looks closer to 6'4" now, but he may have been 6'6" in his peak. Wow, I never knew that surgeries can shrink a man so much, but I believe the Hulkster.

Derek, the picture I posted of me and my 6'5 friend in the general height page was a good picture of how 6'0 looks next to 6'5. It does look more with Hogan and Greg but like you said Hogan was 6'6 at most during his peak. Greg is probably more 5'11. My guess was Hogan at 6'5 1/2 and Greg at 5'11 maybe? Hogan isa bit more closer to the camera too.
Derek said on 4/Dec/07
Alex2- Greg claimed he was 6'0 1/2" and that he had proof. He has never been back to the site since. My guess is that Greg is 5'11" or a bit more because Hogan was not over 6'6" at his peak.

well most people i know say how tall they are with sneakers. you guys say without shoes! funny! hulk was 6 ft 6 without shoes in his prime, and 6 ft 7 with boots, he weighed 305 in the early 80s, 285 late 80s, 275 early 90s, went down all the way to 243 in 1996 when he joined the nwo and at that time was 6 ft 5.5 in boots, in 2002 when he returned he was 6 ft 5 in boots and weighed 265. the guns were 22.2 when he made rocky 3, 21.5 in the late 80s early 90s and down to 19.7 in 1996 when he joined the nwo! i remember him saying he had 24s in 92 when they were 21 inches! my arms are 17 inches and i am 5 ft 9 and weigh 221, i couldnt imagine claiming that i was 5 ft 11 and weigh 251 pounds and having 20 inch arms! wrestling exagerrates way to much on the sizes of these guys! worst than nba claims!

Danimal, I think Hogan was a peak 6
Anonymous said on 21/Nov/07
Obviously Hogan was a big 6'5, small 6'6, in his prime. Anything more or less than that is wrong. At 6'5 3/4 barefoot he is big enough to be in the 6'7-6'8 range with his cowboy boots on, and yet small enough to to lose a realistic, and normal, couple of inches down to the 6'3 3/4 he is now in his old age. Otherwise it's ridiculus to think that he was like 6'8 in the late 80's and shrunk down to like 6'3 3/4 by 2000. The only way that you could lose that much height that fast and at such a relativly young age is if you have some sort of big time disease like a cancer that is killing you.

I was going by his listed height of 6'1/2" and also by the perspective of the photo. It's not a hat, it's a "do-rag". There's no way a "do-rag" adds any height. Hulk's head is that big!
LV said on 19/Nov/07
Atoadaso, that's not a hat, its a bandana. Typically when you wear a bandana, it forms to your head and adds virtually no height.

Re: "Red's" analysis of the above photo (Remember, this is only my humble opinion.)
1. "Greg" is standing as straight as he can, while the Hulkster is rolling his shoulders forward and leaning.
2. The line marking "Greg" as 5'10" appears to cut into his skull! I doubt that his nice head of hair is 2" tall. For those of you with hair (sorry, Hulk!), stand in front of a mirror with a ruler and press down on the top of your head. Does anyone lose 2" inches of height??? I know I don't!

JT, didn't Piper have his hips replaced and he showed the scar on national tv to prove it.
I think it was 1996 when Piper showed the hip scar on TV. The pics with Hart were from 1992. I'm pretty sure Piper did not have his hip surgery yet. IIRC, Piper was around 2 inches taller than Mr. T in their stare down at WM I.

Hogan was absolutely huge in his day, he had the perfect build, but I really can't put him at more than about 6'5 7/8 and about 312. At that size he would be about 6'8 in boots and about 320 with all his clothes on. Which is why he could get away with the 6'8 340 listings, as always there are WWF listings and real life listings.

Hogan was around 6'3 at his peak, he looks like he's lost an inch and stands around 6'2 barefoot.

Even allowing for the slight angle in the photo (you can do that by using the roof line behind them as a guide)Greg only comes up to the bottom of Hogan's nose. That would be about 6 inches on an average person, and Hogan obviously has a very large head. In all seriousness, if Greg is 6'1/2" then Hogan is 6'7" in 1988 on the evidence of the above photo.

unless hogan's head is relatively closer than it might appear. Sometimes it's actually hard to decipher, I've got many photos where I know my head is 2 inches further behind but it's really hard to see on the photo.

I have a Killer Khan WWF doll, as I do the entire roster from 1984-1988. I have Tito Santana, John Studd, Andre, Outback Jack, Hulk Hogan, King Kong Bundy and so many others. They are all about 8" tall. Anyways, on the back othe box for KK it says he is 6'7" and weighs 310 pounds.

Khan was billed at 6'7" JT.

I have the VHS tape of Hulk with Killer Khan in "The Snake Pit." KK was wearing what appeared to be blocks of wood on his feet. It's tough to estimate, but I thought it looked like 2" x 2" cut wooden posts as the soles of his shoes plus another piece of something directly under his feet. In the Sports Illustrated article on Andre the Giant, KK was listed at 6'4".

Triple H is 6-2 1/2............in the ring. Id say a brefoot height of 6-1 1/4 is the most realistic for him.
I totally agree. He isn't a 6'2"-6'3" guy
Anonymous said on 2/Nov/07
Anonymous, you obviously have not seen the pics with ben davidson. The 6'7-6'8 davidson looms over the 1984 hogan. Hogan was 6'5.75 310 tops peak, 6'4.75 290 midway, and 6'3.75 275 now.

Never in a million years was Hulk 6'6..he was every bit of 6'8 originally. You are right with Edge (maybe just under)...Triple H is 6'4, and more besides.
K.G said on 28/Oct/07
Hulk In His Prime Was At The most 6'6", And Edge Is About 6'5.
Triple H Is About 6'3.5 Maybe 6'4''.

It would be wild If Barkley was the 6-6 hes been listed at the whole time.
Charles Barkley is technically 6-4 3/4, and can look 6'6" while wearing his shoes.

Vegas, yes my head is small for my proportions, I would say, 9.5" as I measured just now. Smaller than Hogan's most likely. I have long limbs as well... people will maybe think I play basketball, sometimes, so I guess you could describe me in that dimension.
Alex said on 16/Oct/07
5'8 comes up to my upper eye level.
Vegas said on 16/Oct/07
Atoadaso you are 6'5 and have a 9" head based on your description, thats very small, do you have basketballer type dimensions (long legs, long arms etc)
Atoadaso said on 16/Oct/07
I'm 6'5", and 5'8" comes up to about 1 to 1.5" below my bottom lip standing relaxed, and to just about the bottom of my head standing tallest. Compared with Hogan and mean Gene, I'd say he is a solid 6'4", maybe a tad over, and 6'5" being the highest I would ever likely estimate. He looks very tall in the picture with Greg, 6'6" - 6'6.5", but angles can really distort things by huge amounts such as even 4-5".
Hogan prime: 6'4" 1/4
Hogan now: 6'3" 1/4
