How tall is Shawn Michaels - Page 5

You know, Rocky, I made similar comments on McMahon's page. And I do agree with the 4 cm/1½" height difference for these two given on this site.

But Angle doesn't fit the pattern: 178 cm for Angle, 183 cm for Michaels and 187 cm for McMahon can't be all right.

Normally in a two-against-one situation such as this, I'd upgrade Angle. However, the thig is, Angle's height of 178 cm is the best substantiated of the three (and possibly of all modern wrestlers); and therefore, IMHO, both Michaels and McMahon are both listed an inch too high here.

You should also check the picture on Angle's page, where he's standing next to 6' tall Alex – who's height is supposedly the same as Michaels's.

I do think though he does wear lifts in he's boots making him taller. And he often wears cowboy boots to wrestlers who have normal boots on this could alter he's height by abit. So maybe thats why he's often thought to be taller.

Michaels and his 5-10 wife (former Nitro Girl Whisper)

I'd give him 5-10 or 5-11 based on video footage of both of them barefoot on WWF Confidential before he came out of retirement. I'll see if I can track that down.

Ok, heres a few screen shots i just put together with Vince and Michaels stood toe to toe, its from Raw about a month ago, no cowboy boots here, both are wearing similair shoes.

Vince is 6'1.5 according to this site so as you can see i simply cannot buy 5'11 for michaels, he is atleast 6'0 as far as i can see.

yeah the guy really looks somewhere between 5'11-6'0,really possible.

Being a Texan, Michaels wears his share of cowboy boots. He could have them on here...making him look 6'0" or 6'1". I personally belive he's 5'11.5"...

to think he's one of the smaller wrestlers, always thought he was 178cm, and that stone cold was 180cm

OK, this image gives the same impression I got from TV:

Can anyone looking at this pic say there's 2 inches between them???

Rocky said on 27/Jan/06
As much as i hate Michaels i cant buy 5'11 he certainly looks atleast 6'0 these days, just compare him to Vince who is atleast 6'1 there aint much difference tbh, there's a story line involving both of them at the moment so have a look for yourself when they stand toe to toe, and btw he has a good 2' on Angle

He was always a good inch shorter than Stone Cold, even back in the day. I can't see him having ever been taller than 5'11''. He's obviously wearing cowboy boots there.

he actually looks taller then 6' in that pic though it was before his surgery so he is probably under nowadays

Anshelm said on 26/Jan/06
Dunno... Last I looked he seemed about the same, maybe just taller than Kurt Angle (178 cm/5'10"). Hard to believe there's more than 1–2 cm between them.

Shawn Michaels has always looked a strong 6-footer.

Yes but I think thats long ago. He's been reported as 6'1'' (WWE), his real height is 6'... but that was before his back problems, some people say he's 5'11'' or 5'10''.
