I think Michaels 5-10,75 and Cena 5-11,5 with huge footwear and lifts.

Anyone who thinks that Cena only has an inch difference on Shawn Michaels is clearly bias.
Good pick JK, I still believe Cena is 6'1

I don't understand Shawn Michaels and John Cena listings at 5-11,5 and 6-0,5 when there is AT LEAST,at least 2 inches difference;Rob have to change this,it's so wrong and innacurate.(i would say HBK: 5-11 peak and 5-10,5 now or 5-11 always

Rob,what do you think about the Jim pic?It's perfect to judge heights and I'm surprised that nobody noticed that BigJim's shoulders are taller and Shawn has an advantage for being closer to the camera.I think hbk is easy 2cm shorter than Jim,that makes him 5-11.Anyway he always gives the impression of a small guy not over 180cm.It's just crazy you list him at 5-11,5.

I think HBK is a solid 5'11.5 because he is at least 2.5- 3 inches shorter than Triple H in the WWE. Anyway, i find some picture of Shawn Michaels and 5'10" Marty Jannetty during their time as one of the best tag team in the late 1980's and early 1990's the Midnight Rockers.
Here are some gallery of the Rockers featuring HBK and Marty Jannetty.

Shawn Michaels - 6'0"

Ted, thanx for agreeing. I hate when people act as 5'11 and 6'0 is so difference. Its the same as 6'11 and 7'0. It seems more different than it is to some but its really not. I guess it is to some because you're in a new foot range.

Cena is 6ft and Shawn is 5-11.The 182cm listings is because people believe that 180 is short.Well,it isn't,i was 5-11 at 16 and i was the tallest in my school.Even if Michaels is 5-11,5 how do you explain that he looks 5-10 next to Cena?

Micheals was taller than Tyson sans wrestling gear for sure Click Here Michaels was at least 1" taller than 5'10 Kurt Angle at WM21 so he is no shorter than 5'11
Michaels is also taller in that video despite Tyson having a roughly 1" footwear advantage it looks like to me.

Shawn Michaels has been my favorite wrestler, idol and hero for over two years and I've always believed the Internet that he is six foot one and two-hundred-twenty-five pounds, but I guess I was wrong. God bless Shawn Michaels and he's in my prayers. I can't wait to see him on Monday Night Raw again.

Comparing Triple H's height to HBK. Triple H stands at a height of 6'4" but I would say that HBK would be about 6'1.5" 0r 6'2".

Vegas,
Snitscky could have easily been 6'4 and 280 pounds maybe a little more. He was really great with the kids in attendance. He was sort of a big kid himself. I believe he used to play football at San Diego State so if you could find an old program you might find his true height.

here is the snitsky/big ben photo again Click Here Both Ben and Starks are closer to the camera there. Snitsky's shoulders are higher than Bens who also has his head held high. The top of both of their hats are identical btw so i don't see a full inch between Snitsky and Ben. Ben's eyes being higher than Snitsky's arent really proof that Ben is taller; Rocks and Lesnars eyes were higher than Hogans for example!
BigJim how tall do you reckon Snitsky was??? For me he is somewhere between 6'4-6'5 based on his tv appearances with kane and tyson tomko.

Alex, you could easily be right. However, the picture is a year old and it is realistic for Cena to add 10 pounds of muscle in a year at his age. I was amazed I was even close to their size. Sort of made me wish I had tried the wrestling thing.

Jason, regarding HBK's weight I actually agree with you on mostly. Today he only looks 180 something, 190lbs at most. At some point he was 195-200lbs but when he was younger at his biggest he looked 210-215lbs. When I hear him announced at 227lbs on TV now I'm like thats BS because I'm 200lbs and bigger than him but not by a lot though.

Viper, Snitsky is 6'4 legit but the guy wears lifts and on TV can look as tall as 6'8 or even more.
Cena is billed at 248lbs but he said in a magazine he was 240lbs recently which could be true. At 6'0 with his size he can easily be 230lbs no doubt.

That’s me in the photo on the left. In that photo I was 5’11.5” and 230 pounds. Our shoes both looked about the same height. We were both standing straight and tall. I think I may have had half an inch on him at best, but then again you be the judge. I stood side by side with Cena but he sat for the photo. My recollection is that Cena was as tall if not half an inch taller than I. I would guess that he weighs between 225 and 230. He was wearing the B-Ball shoes but the heel seemed comparable to what I was wearing, although it might explain the half inch. I only noticed because I really expected these guys to be huge. The only one, who was there, who really was huge was Snitscky.

I noticed Edge`s boots looked very odd to me when he was wrestling HBK on raw last monday.Is he known by anyone to ware lifts?When he shifted from side to side his feet and ankles looked higher up in his boots then they should be,it looked like he was standing on platforms.I know Edge does a lot of high risk manuvers,so it wouldn`t make scense for him to be waring lifts.Yet his boots just didn`t look right in that match compaired to HBK`s.Is it possible that Edge is 6'3" in his helpers and only 6'0" barefoot?

Here ya go gents, Shawn Michaels on his size taken from his book "Heartbreak and Triumph: the Shawn Michaels Story".
This is in reference to around 1993: "At the time I weighed almost 240 pounds. I was fat and couldn't believe he thought I was taking steriods ..."
The second quote is interesting. He wrote this while talking about his break up with the Rockers, but I think size wise he was refering to himself currently: "Sure I dreamed of becoming the World Wrestling Federation Champion, but 6'1", 215-pound guys like me with very little marketing savvy didn't win that title."
I have a lot of trouble figuring this guy's height out. He looked no more than .5" taller to my recolation than Bret Hart during their runs, but when he came back to WWE after his 4 year hiatus he always seemed shorter. He looks about 2 inches shorter than I think a 6' John Cena to me.
I've said contradictory in the past, but I think Bret was 5'11" or 6'. So at peak, HBK may have been 5'11.5" or 6'0.5". But now, I think the guy isn't more than 5'10". I'll have to track down some pics of him and Bret and HHH. What do you guys think?

He wrote this while talking about his break up with the Rockers, but I think size wise he was refering to himself currently: "Sure I dreamed of becoming the World Wrestling Federation Champion, but 6'1", 215-pound guys like me with very little marketing savvy didn't win that title."
I have a lot of trouble figuring this guy's height out. He looked no more than .5" taller to my recolation than Bret Hart during their runs, but when he came back to WWE after his 4 year hiatus he always seemed shorter. He looks about 2 inches shorter than I think a 6' John Cena to me.
I've said contradictory in the past, but I think Bret was 5'11" or 6'. So at peak, HBK may have been 5'11.5" or 6'0.5". But now, I think the guy isn't more than 5'10". I'll have to track down some pics of him and Bret and HHH. What do you guys think?

I gotta find the exact quote, but HBK wrote a book a year or two ago. He said around 1992/1993 he was almost 240lbs and his current size was 6'1" 215lbs or something. Again, that's what HE said. I'll come back another time with the exact quotes.

HBK was pretty big during the original DX days with HHH. I think he stopped lifting weights almost completely after the big bump on the casket at the Royal Rumble '98, and subsequent injury. Post-2002, in an interview with Dave Meltzer, he said he adopted a low-carb diet, which is why he's so thin now.

Shmuel I can buy believe HBK is 5'11 185lbs today. Far as 218lbs, not sure about. 210lbs maybe at his heaviest?

Shawn Michaels height and Weight is billed at 6'1 225, his actually height & weight is 5'11 185lbs. The most Shawn Michaels ever weighed is about 218 at his heaviest. This was back in about 1992, This is when his weight was billed 240lbs

Anonymous, I can agree on that for the most part. 190lbs at the most he'd be. No way is he as big as I am now. Back then HBK was 200lbs plus. He could have lost at least 20lbs over the years.

I don't think he's a pound over 180 right now. He's not very big these days. 10-12 years ago, I'd say he was 210 tops. He's not a very big boned guy and never had the bulk that most wrestlers carry. 210 is pretty d#mn big for a guy under 6'. he looked to be about 210 to me at Wrestlemania 14 when he dropped the belt to Austin. that was the biggest he's ever been.

Guys, for what it is worth Shawn seemed pretty cut and muscle does weight more than fat. I lift every day and was about 230 lbs in the photo. Go to the butcher shop and look at the size of a 20 pound tenderloin (a low fat piece of muscle) and you will be amazed how large twenty pounds of muscle actually is. My guess was that Shawn was around 205 to 210 last year. .

Vwgas, yea I don't see HBK near my size the way he is today. At his heaviest he was probably around my size. If I can I'll try to post one of those pics to compare myself to HBK again.

In the mid 90's HBK put on some weight and could have weighed 220+. He slimmed down from 95 onwards I think tho and kept that slender physique since, weighing usually around 195.

I find it hard to believe HBK weighs only 30 pounds more than me. I am about 2 inches taller than him, but I'm skinny. I've seen your pictures Alex and you look about the same size as HBK, taking into account the height difference.

i agree alex; shawn didn't look heavier than you at any time. 200-210lb max for Michaels. 180lb today seems about rite.
It is much more difficult to estimate weight i agree because at least with height a person is either taller, shorter or the same height as you, it is pretty black and white. Not so much with weight.

HBK I think is under 190lbs today. 180-185lbs is the most accurate I'd say but could be 190lbs at the most though. Look at those pictures I posted of myself and I'm 6'0.5 and 200-205lbs and I am bigger than HBK by more than a little I think and I'm no small guy either.
HBK was probably like 200-210lbs at his most back at his heavier, he has lost weight you can clearly tell.
Danimal, guessing weights can be tougher but its fun I think. Look at those 2 few pictures I posted of my 2 heavy friends, you were the one who guessed the closest to what they really weighed each while most others were off by at least 30-40lbs. Shows how weight guessing isn't the easist.

5'11 and 195lbs seems about right for HBK, what do you think Jason?? He def has lost weight since the late 90s though so 185lb could be his weight today.

No Viper all the 5'11 stuff for Cena was from people watching tv or the marine movie or "I am his doctor and I measured him crap", none was in person i suspect, they couldn't have been.
In his basketball boots the last day I met him he was 6'2, now whether those boots give him 2" height is debatable, 3" of height?? surely nonsense

The Rock said HBK was 5'11'' 195lbs (in the late 90s) in his book. I think he was about 210 when he turned heel in 1991-1992 then dropped down to 195-200 when he turned face in '95 and they started billing him as 227 instead of 240.

There has been several 5-11 estimates for Cena on this site too Vegas. At times Ive thought about Cena being in the 5-11 range. Hes probably 6-0 though.

Mike M that Orton and Michaels face-off thing was backstage, Orton was clearly slouching, backstage segments are sometimes poor for judging height. I have a segment where The Rock looks taller than Taker face-to-face backstage. Orton was at least 3" taller than Vince a few weeks ago on Smackdown btw Click Here
a few nice screenshots a various face offs:
Cena and Michaels at WM23 and last Monday on raw Click Here
Cena and Orton at raw monday nite Click Here
Cena and Angle Click Here
Cena and Lesnar Click Here
Michaels and Angle at WM21 Click Here
If we use Angle (5'10 barefoot; ~5'11 in wrestling boots) and Cena (6'0-6'0.5 barefoot; ~6'2 in basketball boots as Derek claims) as references we can easily determine Orton, Michaels and Lesnars heights from those photos assuming that each is wearing shoes/boots giving them ~1" extra.

well he was never close to 234 or 239. I'd say even 227 was a big stretch.

He was not always billed at 225. As a tag team, they were billed together. When he went solo, he was being billed at 239 pounds and then 234 pounds (same as Bret Hart) when he became more popular (1993?) and then 227 before he left the WWF and upon his return he was billed at 225 pounds.

The biggest i ever say him was at wrestlemania in 98 when he dropped the belt to Stone Cold. He looked to be about 210 lbs there. 250 is ridiculous for a guy his size. He would look monsterous at 225 Which he was always billed. anyway, i buy the rock's estimation. just a little more height wise. probably between 5'10.5-5'11.5

Powerslam mag gave 190-200lb for Michaels around 1995-96 along with a joke saying he wasn't even heavy enough to be WWF heavyweight champ or something along those lines. Today shawn is about 185-190lb, maybe as low as 180lb

The man was larger than 195 in the late 80's, early 90's. WAY MORE. He said he went up to 250 pounds at one point when he was on a 24/7 eating binge in the mid 90's. He looked to be in his 230's at one point and a bare minimum 220's. As for today? 195 looks about right.

He was described in "The Rock's" book as 5-10 & 195 lbs. Tall people usually understimate people's height, so I would say that 5-11 to 5-11.5 is more accurate.

Of course Danimal doesn't like Shawn Michaels or Triple H more likely so he gets downgraded :) However you never factor in the problems this causes. As I said downgrade Big Show everyone must be downgraded, downgrade Hogan and Andre that isn't so much of a problem. Downgrade Michaels everyone including Vince, Mike Tyson, Steve Austin, Kevin nash etc etc etc must be downgraded too.

Okay, again, do yourself a favor and look at what Shawn had for shoes during 1993-1994. They looked like fish tanks (space boots). They elevated him to Vince's height at that time, where as today, Shawn is 2-3" shorter than Vince. It's possible that Shawn was a full 5'11" in 1993-1994, wore those crazy boots (I'm not the only one who sees them being HUGE) and Backlund was probably around 6'0", but Shawn had the height advantage due to his boots. Doesn't take a rocket scientistic to figure that one out Vegas. No off.

How? Well, he was billed at 5'11" up until he left the Rockers (very early 90's), at which point in time they started billing him at 6'1". So, we know that he was NEVER over 5'11". What's amazing, is that his tag team partner (Marty Janetty) was billed at 6'0" during the time Shawn was billed at 5'11" and we know that Shawn had him by at least 2". I see Shawn at 5'10" and some change.

In the first photo Shawn is 5'11 and he looks 6ft with Glenn. I met Shawn rather quickly in New York in 2002 and I estimated him to be 5'11 or just a bit taller than that maybe 5'11.5". Shawn was also taller than Kurt Angle by just over an inch and always about 1.5-2" shorter than Vince. Any way you look at it he is at least 5'11.
Apart from that stupid mentor list which has Andre at 7'4 etc how do you guys give Shawn 5'10???

Yea I could agree that HBK is a weak 5'11 today. 5'10.5 may be most accurate.

I'm pretty sure 5'10 1/4" is what the mentor gave Shawn. Regardless, it looks like Shawn was never 6'0", which I thought he was at his peak, but it looks like he wasn't.

Shawn is 5 feet 11.5 inches?! He's 6 ft 1 inch tall. At least that's what his wwe profile says. Lol. He is definitely taller than Kurt Angle cuz I've a pic of them standing face to face during their match at Wrestlemania 21. But he did go for surgery in 98 & got part of his damaged vertebrae fused together. Maybe he lost some height then?
Who cares though. He's still the best wrestler ever with Ric Flair a close second XD

I agree with KingNick. There is definitely more than an inch difference. 1.5" minimum, though 2" is more likely. HBK was clearly taller than Kurt Angle, so he has to be at least 5'11", which makes Austin a strong 6'0 1/2" or a weak 6'1" going by the picture.

That picture was from around May 1997. I think Shawn was 6' at his peak, but started to shrink after his back surgery. Austin broke his neck and probably shrunk after his surgery. At that time, I think Austin was 6'1" and HBK was 6'. Today, I'd say Austin is 6', and HBK is 5'11".

TNTinca, my weight did flucate too over the last 2.5 years but its safer to maintain in a certain weight range though. Not the best to yo yo diet and have your weight go up and down every couple months and I mean like gain 20lbs then lose 25lbs then gain 30lbs. When I was 215lbs my arms were 16-16.5 flexed and 15-15.5 unflexed but my thighs were pretty big at 25.5 inches so if my legs were smaller I bet my arms would have been a little bigger, plus I had a 43 inch chest to go with it. Now before I got to 215lbs I was 195lbs then after 215lbs I dropped to 185lbs and now back up to 195-200lbs with arms 14.5 flexed and 15.5 unflexed with thighs 25 inches and a chest of 42 inches, but also my waist is smaller than it was at 215lbs.

I agree with Danimal.
I often peak and valley with my weight as well due to weightlifting and alternating diets. My peak weight is usually around 205-210 lbs and I bottom out around 180-185 lbs. (I am 5'10")
Definately far more definition at the lower weight despite the smaller muscle size. But yes, it is kind of nice being imposing at the heavier weight)
At my max weight, my arms were 16.5 inches flexed, 15.75 inches unflexed. Not sure what they are now. Definately smaller since I am now 188 lbs. :-)

You know, the muscle seems a lot larger, or better defined when I'm at a lower weight. When I'm 30-40 pounds heavier, my muscles are just large, but very little definition and striations. I feel more imposing when I'm heavier, but I feel more fit and in shape and probably look better at a lighter bodyweight, because the muscle is a LOT MORE visible.

Alex, I lift weights. I've been lifting weights since 11 years old. I'll be 29 in 3 days. I am a serious lifter. I never specialized in any type of powerlifting/weightlifting, even though I DO do deadlifts, clean and jerks, snatchs and bench press on a regular basis. Since I last gave an update on me having been back at it for 6 months, I stopped completely a month ago. I've since dropped 13 pounds (scary, huh?). I'm thinner and my 17" arms have atrophied so much. I still do pushups (about 140 in a row), but I do have the knowledge.

this article lists shawn at 6'1(doubt it) and between 190 and 205 pounds...220 in his heyday.

I think HBK might have been 5'11.5", he always appeared to me just slightly taller than Bret but not by much, but now I think HBK is a flat 5'11". 1/2 an inch loss isn't much considering how many times the poor guy has been hit in the head with a metal chair :>)

Dan!... stop with all this hatings ;) ... i agree with you on Sid. 6'7 seems to be right, since he is little over 1 inch shorter than UT. Derek, i have both bret and shawn around 5'11 - 5'11 1/2 (with shawn as a tad taller)

Ola- I agree that DDP is 6'3" but HBK and Bret are 5'11". You can tell that HBK was clearly shorter than 6' Shelton Benjamin and 6'0 1/2"-6'1" John Cena.

I have some photos where HBK's posing with Dallas Page and they look about the same height, I think that something was wrong with those shots because Page's about the same size as Sid Vicious some 6'8" and Michaels just can't be that tall, even fellow Cliquer X-Pac was taller than him

Bret Hart is NOT 6'0". I met the man in High School. Him, the British Bulldog came to one of the bars I worked at when I was in college. The British Bulldog seemed a fraction shorter than me in regular shoes and Bret seemed about my height. I'm 5'9.5"-5'10". I also met the Iron Sheik and Jake the Snake. My Dad met Andre the Giant many times.

I have to agree Danimal, Shawn really does look barely 200lbs, even with those pretty big arms. Lately on raw though, the difference in height between trips and shawn varies between 3-4 inches. Which means shawn cant be taller than 5'11" if trips is 6'2" (give or take a 1/2 of an inch). I personally think that shawn is 5'10" with tons of change. I mean he only looks about 3/4-1.5 taller than Kurt whos a legit 5'10".

Danimal I have no problem with HBK being 5'11 today, but I think he may have been 6'0 at a point back then. Far as his weight hes not over 190lbs today. 190lbs sounds good as he could be 185lbs maybe. I am 195-200lbs and I am bigger than HBK. Also I have 1-1.5 inches on him too.

Okay, let me step in here. I had an old Wrestling magazine from 1990, which unfortunately I long since threw out, but there was a listing of EVERY SINGLE wrestlers height, weight and wrestling debut and it was very accurate now that I think back to the listings. I clearly remember it listing Shawn at 5'11" and 239 pounds when he debuted. As for height, I think he's about that height. He may have been 6'0" at most, seeing he was still growing when he began wrestling as a teen, as did Bret Hart, who they listed at 5'11" as well. As for his weight, he was FAR larger in the 80's. He was actually quite bulky up until around '90-'91. He dropped weight in the early 90's, knocking him down to his 220's. As for now, the man looks to be be 190-195 MAX and I'm being generous.

You have to see him. He can look 6' - 1996. Now, for the weight, even at just 5'11'', I guess him at around 220. Why? Have you seen his arms? They are very defined and big.
This Mexican guy once said Michaels is 5'10'' flat - maybe he really was right, I don't know.

Viper, I agree he should be taken down to 5'11 flat but no less than that. I do think he was about 6'0 some years ago though.
I don't think HBK was ever 225lbs. He was bigger in the 90's than he is today though. 210lbs at the most at his biggest maybe, but today he's about 190lbs I'd say.

Shawn is 6'0. His wife is 5'10 and standing next to each other he appears to be about 2 inches taller than her. Look at any picture of them it's obvious. As far as his weight goes wwe has him listed as 225 where he looks way smaller. He was maybe 225 in 1998 but in 2006 he looks barely 200.

Well Jims photo there proves that Shawn at least these days is indeed at most 5'11, perhaps 5'10.5. WWE lists him at 6'1, which is them doing their standard adding two inches to their wrestlers real heights, standard fare for a good few when you think about it, e.g. Benoit 5'8 listed at 5'10, HHH 6'2 listed at 6'4, Rock 6'3 listed at 6'5,etc. Anyway, Michaels not less than 5'10, not more than 5'11.

Being that Michaels is in wrestling garb most of the time, its likely he had on boots for that pic. I would have placed him just under the 6 foot mark. Not much under but he does look to be between 5'11" and 6 foot.

Shawn Michaels is looking 6' even in that picture... Maybe marginally over.
However, judging from Michaels' attire, and the belt.. Age, and neck/back injury could knock off .5" or so.

John Cena is 6'1'', he's a bodybuilder and needs to know his exact height and weight. That's why nobody believes Jericho to be 6' :D. So... Michaels has a very muscle upper body, the old wwf mentor (Steve Austin-Thread I think) said he was 178cm and weighed 115kg in 1996... I can't believe that. I'd say 178cm now. And for the weight... 220 or 225. The guy looks good.
What is kinda weird is that Hardy seemed to be smaller than him sometimes but Jeff is 6' (says TNA, WWE said 6'1'' and 6'2'' - Hardy looks 6') and Michaels wore such great high shoes.

Michaels has a very muscle upper body, the old wwf mentor (Steve Austin-Thread I think) said he was 178cm and weighed 115kg in 1996... I can't believe that. I'd say 178cm now. And for the weight... 220 or 225. The guy looks good.
