sid looks a full 12" taller than mamun in BOTh pics. sid has an enormous head, 10+"
why you still hating on Sid rob? in EVERY interview where he stands toe to toe with taker, both in the old "mark callus" days and now, sid ALWAYS has .5" on taker, every friggin time.
sid is a legit 6'9"
if anyone ever watched family fued when they had the wcw on there, sid stood next to nash and was 1 inch shorter, there was no mistaking it.. sid isn't 6'7", he's 6'8"
he had almost 2" on bryan adams, even though bryan had a footwear advantage

Yes JT, that was my point that they both have similar footware, like I said taker´s foot is closer to the camera making his boots look bigger.
Since you´re here longer than me do you remember the video I posted from the wwe website with a different angle from their wm13 staredown? It was clear again by that taker is the taller man, not by much but still...

why because its on video, second both sid and taker are in the same flat boots in that memphis video, third because taker has short hair, that photo which has been discussed many times is
Vegas, what about all the other videos of their staredowns in the middle of the ring? For example the one from wrestlemania where we can even see footware, its much better than the masked sid one...
Besides taker stacks up better to nash than sid ever did, in 2002 he was clearly taller next to hogan than sid ever was and I mention this because I know you don´t think hogan lost almost any height by that time, these are just examples, but still if you wan´t a 6'7 taker you´ll still have to explain why he´s 3 inches taller than 6'5 jbl or again looks 6'8 next to khali.
On the matter of footware, its funny how peolpe tought he wore big boots in his ministry days but actually it was probably his smallest footware in wwe/f.
NCL said on 7/Feb/11
Red, appreciate the pic, but I just do not agree. That's an EXTREME close up, anything would look large in that. And even if it was true, Sid's boots in the WWF were still larger IMO. Tell ya what, if you can/have time, find a pic of Sid's boot from 1991ish and do that extreme close up, you'll see what I mean. A pic of Kane's boots would work too. If that's an inch and a half than what are Kane's munster boots? 4"?
And I said from his debut TO 94, I didn't say he debuted in 94. I meant that he wore the same boots from his debut until about 1994 (when he debuted the purple gloves and all that)
Vegas said on 7/Feb/11
why because its on video, second both sid and taker are in the same flat boots in that memphis video, third because taker has short hair, that photo which has been discussed many times is taken from an angle favouring taker, the cameraman is to the right of taker, there is no way sids eyeline is half an inch higher but he still comes out 1 inch shorter than taker, sorry but no, at most takers forehead is half an inch longer than sids
d wade said on 7/Feb/11
i think the Undertaker is a half inch taller than sid so 6,7 1/2 for Undertaker and 6,7 for sid is right and Kane is taller than the Undertaker by 1/4 or 1/2 so Kane is close to 6,8.
Tuga said on 7/Feb/11

IMO Taker is no doubt taller than sid, Vegas how can you just pick up a masked sid trying to look as tall as possible next to taker and just close the discussion?
There are loads of staredowns between the 2 and taker comes up taller just about every time, look again at the pic I posted, takers foot is closer to the camera, even if taker´s sole was bigger it would be so minimal it doesn´t compensate the difference between them, which is already small.

What?? If you really want to go the footwear argument, then look at UT's shoes from the his debut to about 94, they're practically flat, maybe .5" give tops Click Here If that's not a enough, just watch any match from that time period, including his staredowns with Sid. No way a lift could be in that.
???94 Takers Debut was in november 1990 and here are his boots
Click Here
They look more like 1.5" than 0.5" and that´s the reason why he looked 1 inch taller than Sid in WWF.
Vegas said on 6/Feb/11
well sid sure didn't look 1 inch shorter than taker in that memphis video from 88-89 danimal, good to see you ignore vital evidence again though, any chance taker had of being taller than sid went out the window with that video, taker, sid and jacobs would all be the same height, taker and jacobs are still the same height today
hogan should not be mentioned alongside sid/kane etc kane etc in terms of height, it should be someone like spivey who measured up far better next to sid and taker than hogan ever did, hogans in the bracket alongside guys like jeep swenson, scott hall and this guy Seiji Sakaguchi

Danimal said on 5/Feb/11
Of Taker, Sid and Kane, Taker was the tallest of the 3 men. He was the closes to a legit 6'8" (at his PEAK). Kane was a tad shorter (6'7") and Sid perhaps a tad shorter than Kane (also around 6'7").. I think Studd would have stood a fraction under Sid's height and then it would have been Hogan (PEAK Hogan)... Throw in One Man Gang and Earthquake and you'd have an interesting line up...

I remember at WM13 UT had on those type of boots that seemed to be hiding a lift. To make them not look like complete wedge shaped feet it looked like the toe area was even extended.
That´s exactly what I thought, Taker is much taller than in the early 97 staredowns. He had close to an inch on Sid at WM 13, noway he was that much taller in 1989 with equal footwear.
Anom said on 12/Jan/11
Sid, Taker, and Kane were all really close in height. Taker and Kane were around 6'8", Sid a bit shorter at about 6'7.25"-6'7.5" peak. Nash had them by about what looked like 1.5 to 2 inches, 6'9"-6'10".

My guess TOPS 'Taker is taller by .5", it could even be .25". It's definitely possible they could be the same height but I don't think so because too many staredowns are in 'Taker's favor

aarod Jake had huge boots.
Click HereJake in the ring frequently came out taller than Hogan who he was actually half an inch to an inch shorter than. His boots were MASSIVE. probably 1.75" heels. They were as big as anything Kane ever wore.
Jake is 6'5", so 6'5"+ 1.75" boots= 6'6.75"
Undertaker is 6'8.25" + 0.5" boots= 6'8.75"
or a perceived 2 inches.
Electric Shock said on 1/Jun/09
I'm not even a big Taker fan. My friend is who also posts under a similar name, but the facts are the facts. Taker is no less than an inch taller than Sid.
Here's an exercise Red; if you have a tape measurer, stand in a kind of hunch, head forward, shoulders bent, and see how you measure. Now, go ram rod straight, and see how much taller you are.
Sid ALWAYS stood ramrod straight, in addition to the slight boot advantage. Taker almost always with about a 15 degree hunch at the neck. Taker still comes out a half an inch or more taller with this. In the few instances Taker stood straight up next to Sid, like the picture I posted, he was at least an inch taller than Sid.
in boots, Undertaker is 6'9" and Sid is 6'8", maybe 6'8.25". barefoot, Taker is 6'8.25", and Sid is 6'7".

Paul said on 27/May/09
I think Taker was really a good inch taller. Undertaker I believe was about 6'8 1/2-3/4 many years ago. Stacked up well against 6'10 1/2 Nash. Others I know will disagree. Frank said he saw Sid in normal clothes and said he didn't seem quite as tall as he expected. Frank also met UT in person and UT told him he was 6'9 and did look as tall. I think Sid had a little, just a little extra in his boots from time to time.
Paul said on 26/May/09
I don't know why poor old Sid gets downgraded. He was about 6'7.5 at one time. People have been speculating on the Hogan thread that Hogan was 6'7 prime or so in boots and Sid had at least 1.5in on Hogan. It is generally agreed that Nash was at least 6'10 and probably 6'10.5 prime. Here is Sid squaring off against Nash and look 3in less with similar boots. 6.7.5 seems right. I bet he is 6'7 nowadays.

Combined with at least a .25" boot advantage on Sid's part, We have Sid at NO taller than 6'7" and Undertaker at NO shorter than 6'8". If you think there's only .25" you need to get your eyes examined.

Click HereSid coming out 1.5" taller than 6'6" Peak Hulk Hogan. Sid's wrestling boots were 5 layers, while Hogans were 3. A layer= .25". Therefore Sid had a .5" boot advantage on Hogan. Hogan coming out 6'6.75" in wrestling gear, while Sid coming out 6'8.25".
Click Here In this picture, Sid is wearing the smallest boots of his career: 1 layer boots (.25") and is coming out about .5" taller than Hulk Hogan in his 3 layer boots. That'd make Sid in 1 layer boots 6'7.25".
So how tall was Sid? The answer is 6'7" on the nose.
I have more pictures to come but right now using Hogan at 6'6" I have:
Kevin Nash- 6'9.75" (comes out 2.75" taller than Sid in equal boots.)
Undertaker- 6'8.25" (in 1992 came out slightly taller than Sid when Sid had a .75" boot advantage. In 1997, Taker only was at a .25" boot disadvantage and came out an inch taller.)
Sid- 6'7" (wore large boots)
Mabel- 6'6.75" (comes out the exact same height as Sid in a staredown on Kevin Nash; however his King Mabel boots were 6 layer boots, compared to Sid's 5 layer, which would make him about 6'6.75". Mabel also comes out about 1/3 an inch shorter than 6'7.1" Max Starks.)
Akeem- 6'6.75" (comes off .75" taller than Hogan)
Hulk Hogan- 6'6" (comes off .25" taller than Earthquake)
Earthquake- 6'5.75" (Legit confirmed during his Sumo days.)
Big Boss Man- 6'4.75" (comes off 1.5" shorter than Hulk Hogan in slightly smaller boots than Hogan's)

I met him thru a friend of mine, Sid was taking a break from wrestling and was selling farm chemicals at the time. Actually have been out to eat with him and his wife, they are both great people. That was back in 1996, I'm sure getting old.

I've met Sid many times and have actually worked out with him a few times. I'm 6'3 bare foot and close to 6'5 in my work boots and would have guessed Sid in the 6'7 to 6'8 range. Sid is a great guy.

Monsoon was taller than Vader in 1996 and Vader was in ring gear.

I still think he was a flat 6"7 when he faced Undertaker - who himself was not far off 6"8.

You don't know for a fact that Vince was shoeless and Vince was 6'1.5 at his peak. Also Orton has much better posture than Monsoon does.

Monsoon had at least 3 inches on 6'1.5 Vince McMahon so anything under 6'4.5 for Monsoon is ridiculous.

At 4:12 Gorilla straightens out and appears to be 2-2.5" shorter than Sid and Gorillas was already 60 years old there and VERY sick (he died 1.5 years later). Gorilla was a STRONG 6'5" man in his youth and rounded up to 6'6". By the late 1990's he may have slipped down to 6'4"-6'4.5".

I admit, he looks taller in 1997, than he did in 1976, but in 1997 when we see a full body shot comparison between him and Vince, BOTH in dress shoes, Gorilla looks to have 4" on Vince and does not look less than 6'5" (at the age of 59 and QUITE sick at that stage).

A couple of my buddies estimated the Big Show at 7'0-7'1 when they met him in Victoria.
Just curious, was this before/after the turn of the millenium?
This was 2002 or 2003 when they were teenagers. Giant Silva is clearly 7'1-7'2 you estimated him 7 inches taller which would be 7'0? You were just slighty off I guess. Silva TOWERED '' 6'11 '' Semmy Schilt, MMA fighter.
Shock of Electric said on 19/Mar/09
The whole "my friend saw him and said" thing is so vague. For example I ran into Giant Silva last May at a show and there was no way I could guess his height just from standing next to him. I compared him visually to another worker who is 6'4.75" legit, and I saw him as being 7' even tops. The other guy had his boots on which are pretty thin .75"ish and Silva was in some casual sort of Keds that also didn't give him much at all. He looked a clean 7" taller. In the ring, Silva wears lifts similar to Jake Roberts 91-92 heel run. It's really hard for anyone to believe from second hand knowledge, let alone even from something like my story here. For example, I met Sid in '98 and I put him at no less than 6'7" but I don't have a picture so it's useless.
Da Man said on 18/Mar/09
Rob's estimates are usually very good though, and in the end 1/2" isn't much. But I do think Sid was a legit 6'7" at peak, he did after all make Hogan look like a runt. No way was a peak Sid only 1/2" taller than a peak Hogan, more like 2".

What I think is sort of funny in pictures with Sid and UT is that Sid had a slightly taller body, as in height up to where is head starts, but UT looks like he has a taller head.
Shock of Electric said on 15/Mar/09
Sid is a full inch shorter than Undertaker by comparison in the later half of the 90s.
Can anyone tell me how tall Mamun is in those shoes he's wearing? I did some math with the pic and came out with a few different numbers for Sid, but none of them were less than 6'7" based on this pic. It seems like the only way Sid could be 6'6.5" is if Mamun gets no extra height from his shoes. Even with .25" extra Sid is still more than what is listed here.

In the Davidson picture look at the actor on the other side of Hogan. His Bio says 6'5, he is about the same hight. It looks like he is slightly shorter but, he is leaning his head in and has his front leg relaxed. I think if he stood at attention like Hogan is he would be the same height if not a fraction taller. He also had big heeled SHOES on that did not have quite as big of a heel as those cowboy boots had. Conclusion, anything over 6'5 for Hogan is not right, he lived in those boots and they got him up to about 6'7.5.
Anonymous said on 7/Mar/09
Davidson had to stack up to a peak 1984(30 yr old) Hogan, he was champ for only a year at that point. And Davidson was 44 yr old and retired for 12 years after a 11 year carear. His hair was turning gray, he was 15 years past his prime, nobody would confuse a 1997(44 yr old) NWO bad guy Hogan with the beard as being Hogans's peak height. Or a 2005 Sid for peak height. Davidson's peak height would have been back in the 60's! Davidson was 2+ inches taller and he bounced back and forth between 6'7-6'8 his whole carear. Sid was standing next to a 1990's diminished height Hogan and was still at best the same 2+ inches taller. I think even an old Davidson would Have a 1/2 inch on Eduy. 1984 6'7.25 Davidson 6'5 Hogan. 1991 6'6.75 Sid 6'4.5 Hogan. Peaks 6'7.75 Davidson, 6'5.25 Hogan, 6'6.75 Sid.

I always thought that 6'6.5 and 300-310 was more than enough for Sid. In some matches he was only billed as being 6'7 and just over 300 so you know that he was a least a little under that because everyone gets rounded up a least a little. It makes sense that back in the real early 90's that a legit 6'6.5 say 305-310 guy would get the 6'8-6'9 320-330 that he was also sometimes given. He was bigger than Hogan but Hogan had slipped under 6'5 in the early 90's(he is only 6'3 today) and hogan's weight was in free fall at that time and was only maybe 285, some say way less than that. I say all of this acknowleding that Sid was one of the most awesome phyiscal specimens ever in wrestling at his peak. Perfect physical specimen.

I meant 87.247 as much volume as fat. There way a typo in my last post.
supermanfan380 said on 12/Jan/09
KingNick,
You got it spot on with the statement that muscle weighs more than fat, but NOT as much more as people think. It is actually just under 13% heavier. Muscle is 87.247% as heavy as fat. It is dense enough to sink in water, but not like a brick. So, in other words, muscle is still almost as big in volume as fat.
Most people have a misconception about its volume, and think it is like twice as dense. Absurd.
Anyhow, muscle size, combined with the double weight myth, adds to the illusion of size some pro-wrestlers and bodybuilders have. This is also because muscle is placed on the outer silhouette of the body, while fat accumulates on the interior of the silhouette.
This is why Arnold
Atoadaso said on 2/Jan/09
Sid was definitely at his biggest when he was playing Lord Humongous. He was gargantuan in those days, very easily over 300 and cut. He looks around 270 these days, with the similar conditioning as he had but significant less mass.
Ben said on 2/Jan/09

Ok you do have a point in lots of those pics, but i still say aroun 1997 sid did weigh around 270lbs.
I think it was summerslam 97 or 96 where he was agianst davey boy smith and if you watch the match back on youtube you'll see how much slimmer he was.
It would be better if you could date all those pics.
I'd say the 1st one wwf 1995 290lbs (not looking in that great shape or big for him)
2nd one wwf 1997 280lbs (that waist coat does hide alot and it is very flattering studio shot where he's obviously pumped to the max)
3rd one 1999 wcw (not a very good shot either, he actually looked much bigger then this pic makes him seem)
4th ECW 1999 HUGE! 320lbs
5th WCW 90-91 Big and lean

sid himself on his latest shoot interview says he weighs 270lbs now and if youve seen him recentley you'll know he looks heavier then he did in 1997.
If you look back at his phyisique in 97 objectively you'll see he was actually far far smaller then early and late 90's.
On various shoot interview and in the wrestling observer news letter they say the mid 90's drug testing was legit, (obviously a few people were still taking stuff)
Watch sids most recent shoot interview thats all i can say. i know muscle weighs more then fat but its not as much as you think, when you consider Dolph lundgren in rocky weighed around 240 and he was prob 2 inches shorter then sid.
Im not talking bout Sid from mid 91 or wcw 1993 where he looked huge and way over 300lbs.
That makes sense. How recent was the shoot, do you have a link? Any word on him coming back to WWE?

There was in article i once read with undertaker saying at one point he hit 350lbs, this was ministry of darknes days but now he's down to around 270lbs.
Ben said on 30/Dec/08
sid himself on his latest shoot interview says he weighs 270lbs now and if youve seen him recentley you'll know he looks heavier then he did in 1997.
If you look back at his phyisique in 97 objectively you'll see he was actually far far smaller then early and late 90's.
On various shoot interview and in the wrestling observer news letter they say the mid 90's drug testing was legit, (obviously a few people were still taking stuff)
Watch sids most recent shoot interview thats all i can say. i know muscle weighs more then fat but its not as much as you think, when you consider Dolph lundgren in rocky weighed around 240 and he was prob 2 inches shorter then sid.
Im not talking bout Sid from mid 91 or wcw 1993 where he looked huge and way over 300lbs.
KingNick said on 29/Dec/08
Sid I'd say was a minimum of 300 throughout his career. Taker I think fluctuated a lot.
I've posted about a magazine WWE made around 2002 or so about UT where they referred to him as 6'8" throughout. JR wrote a brief intro talking about how he first met Undertaker in WCW and he said that Mark Calloway "began to fill in at about 280-290 pounds"
UT I think was around 300 for most of his career, just depending on the year, sometimes a little below, sometimes a little above.
And I do believe that both me are REAL close in height, within a half inch.

Sid seemed barely any shorter then Undertaker, all picture evidence seems to indicate an inch at the most and in some cases nothing, going by all the pictures and taking an average i'd say sid 6'7 with undertaker being 6'7.5.
Sid was phsically far more impresive then the undertaker and apparently natural in the WWF in the mid 90's weighing 270lbs.
Sid never seemed to wear lifts, undertaker did but in their pics together they seem to have similar footwear. Big Dudes
Sorry, but Sid was NO 270 pounds. He was between 313-330 pounds. All around BIG MAN with a ton of muscle on a 6'7" frame.

Well, both Khali and Big Show both have are pituitary disorder "giants", achromegally onset before puberty.

PEAK Taker was 6'7.5"-6'8.25" and Sid was 6'7"-6'7.25". Sid would be taller than Taker today, considering Sid hasn't lost any height himself
I don't buy this for a second. Taker would still be taller than Sid. I can't see Taker having lost more than 1/2 inch really. He still stacks up to Khali and Big Shoe very well. He can easily look 6'8 when he stands perfectly straight, which he does only when confronted by someone taller or same height as him.
spence said on 18/Dec/08
Sid more like just 6ft6. Nash is no way still 6ft10. He looks to have lost about an inch. i would say Nash 206 and Sid 198.

Wow, I actually agree with like 5 posts in a row. Yes, with no head tilt, if there is any difference, it looks less than 0.5 inch there. Sid's shoulder height is actually taller. I think Sids head is about 0.5" shorter than average for a guy his height, while UT's would be 0.5" more than average for his height.

Where's Nick when you need him?
This pic makes it plain as day though.
Click HereNo head position on Sid's part will bring him up even with Taker, even though his features are at similar heights. Sid really doesn't have a large forehead at all, unlike Taker and Kane.
Danimal said on 10/Dec/08
A legit 6'7" man.
KingNick said on 10/Dec/08
Red, I disagree, I think UT looks taller in those pics just slightly. Though it may be because of the camera angles.
Alex posted this on the UT page:
Alex says on 10/Dec/08
The average length for a male head is 9.5 inches. But quite a few guys have a 10 inch head. Over that is normally for giant type of guys. For females the average length head is like 8 inchs I am guessing but I've seen some girls women with heads as low as 6 inches. Rob do you know the average length for a female head?
[Editor Rob: eyelevel on women is about 0.2 inch less than average male plus eye-chin length is also smaller on average.]
What Alex posted makes a lot of sense for Psycho Sid and The Undertaker. Whatever their heights are, UT is probably .5" taller because his head is .5" longer.
The shots below are a little more fair in terms of camera angles, that's why I'm saying one of them should be photoshopped.

"If Sid was holding his head in the same position as UT, he would likely be just as tall."
No, no he wouldn't. Taker carries a lot more height above the eyes than Sid does. Taker probably has 5.5" or near it from his eye level to the top of his head.

Again there is that issue that none of those guys are barefoot, and the posture is not exactly the same for them. As it is, all 3 of these guys are very close in height. We split hairs here a lot, but there really does not look to be a big difference in these guys stature. I mean to think that so much is made of one inch in height. THe difference with 6'8" and 6'9" is only 1.2% - not a lot.
KingNick said on 7/Dec/08
NashOwnsAll , NICE comparison there man. I agree with you and supermanfan380, I don't think UT's frame is as large as Sid's and Nash's. UT was billed 328 most of his career and I think only during his biker era was he anywhere near that. Probably more like 275-300, depending on the year. I'd say he's about 300 now.
Sid, I agree too, is no less than 6'7.5"
UT 6'8"
Nash 6'10"
NashOwnsAll said on 7/Dec/08
Good post Supermanfan, Undertaker's frame is nowhere as broad as Sids and Nash, and his flat hair makes it easy for people to downgrade Undertaker's height.
One thing I noticed with many UT staredowns is how wide apart his feet are in comparison to the guy he is standing in front, this easily drops 1 - 2 inches off someone's height. Sid and Nash always have their feet near to each other.
Here is a comparison between all 3 men, Taker's legs cannot be seen as he is wearing a long coat but doesnt appear wide as if he legs are far apart.

supermanfan380 said on 6/Dec/08
I do agree that the difference with Sid and Nash was not much. Oddly, UT and Sid looked the same height, but it looked like Sid was closer to Nash. Most here feel that Sid was 0.5" shorter than taker, due to the top of their heads in "face off" shots in wrestling videos.
The hard part of that is that neither was barefoot, and Sid

sidewalk said on 13/Nov/08
Wow, what are you talking about Scott? Sid broke his leg I've seen the video many times and it looks sick. Maybe Sid has worn lifts,Idk but that's not the reason he broke his leg. It's because all his weight came down one one leg that was stiff. I think he's as tall as the Undertaker. I'd have to see more pics and comparisons to be completely sure. If Taker is 6'7.5 I say Sid 6'7
Annoyed said on 13/Nov/08
6'7" peak, 6'6" is devoid of any feasability whatsoever. 6'6.5" now at a big outside stretch. But lets get this straight he was 6'7" to 6'7.5" peak, no doubt, you do not hold up like he did against Undertaker, Kane, Nash, Scott Hall, Hogan no matter what height unless your giant. This man had hogan by 2 and 3 inches AT ALL TIMES, he was around the same height of the undertaker ( i know, in big boots ) He was HUGE. not 6'6" or 6'6.5" peak. RIDICULOUS !!!!!
tuga said on 11/Nov/08
If sid was 6'6 1/2 peak, I wonder how tall would Magic Johnson be for example since he was shorter next to nash than sid was...
Scott said on 11/Nov/08
I think 6'6.5" is right on or even a bit generous. Everyone has to keep in mind that he's a prowrestler. Sid has always had some of the most massive lifts in the business. Even as a child I could spot that he was on his toes in those boots. From what I've heard it wasn't his leg he broke back in 2000, it was his ankle due to landing on the lift wrong(common mishap back in the 70's with platforms)Apart from watching their range of motion another easy way to tell which guys in wrestling have the big lifts is to look at knee pad positioning. Wrestlers who are lifted alot will wear them just below their knee so that their lower leg doesn't look out of proportion.
Annoyed said on 7/Nov/08
i have never ever seen Sid look anywhere less than 6'7", why on earth did this man ver get judged as low as 6'6.5" here??????? billed at 6'9" his whole life, less than an inch shorter than Taker, 3 inches shorter than Nash and sometimes only 2" shorter, this guy is 6'7" MINIMUM and i think we would all agree on a definite upgrade, he could even be 6'8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But 6'7" at the barest minimum possible (!) !!
Steve said on 2/Nov/08
Sorry typo, i meant to say i pin his height down between 6'7 - 6'9
Steve said on 1/Nov/08
Supermanfan380 I couldnt have said it better myself, thats why I think its a joke when anyone here tries to pin down a height to 0.5' basically your kidding yourselves. Its impossible to pin someones height by just looking at photos, unless they are standing next to a measuring tape or ruler.
This is why I still give Sid 6'7 - 6'7.5 barefoot
supermanfan380 said on 1/Nov/08
I believe the name of the science I am talking to perform the geometric analysis is called: projective geometry. They rarely give exact numbers, they always have an excepted margin of error. What it can disprove if something is shorter than claimed, if it comes back way out of the margin of error.
Ben said on 1/Nov/08
Well said superfan380. I get fed up people saying they can judge someones height to 0'5 inch.

I would absolutely agree with the previous posts reasoning. I have a question for Mamun. There is another pic of him with Barry Windham, wherein it claims Windham is 6'5" given Mamun's height of 5'8". The photo to photo differences between Windham and Sid, appear to give clearly more than a 1.5 inch difference in height. Neither Sid or Windham is standing perfectly straight, either. The previous post mentioned Sid's shoot interview and he was correct in stating Sid giving his height at 6'8". In fact Sid gave his height at 6'9"-6'8" in that shoot video from 1998(those who've seen the video, can verify this). Given all of this why would you give Sid such a low estimation?

Nice photos Vegas. I'm think Goldy is 6'4.5" - 6'5".

Well, Goldust is at least 6'5, he does seem to edge windham a little bit, so 6'5 1/2 is probably more accurate.

Check out the Rock on this site, he is given only 6'3 and he is less than 3 inches shorter to Manum than Sid is. Manum comes up to The Rocks lower lip while Manum is exactly a head shorter. And the Rock is slouching.
