Is 6'0.25 for Rikishi is possible?

Editor RobAround 6ft range back when I saw him, but could he have been 6ft 0.25 at that time? It's probably the highest I would have thought possible.

"6'3" hahaha good one! I don't get why guys already 6ft plus feel the need to exaggerate their height. I already feel guilty claiming 182-183 in the past before measuring my height accurately lolz. Definitely looks around 183 though.

I wonder what his real weight was during his wrestling prime? 425 lbs is not believable but he was a big guy.

Looks elephantine in the photo! Yeah 6’0 and 30 stone is probably right but he’s like 3x as wide as Rob and look how thick his legs are

I think he looks near 6'0 in the photo. I would put him in the solid 5'11.75 range.
@Jordan87: Indeed, very entertaining back on the day (Too Cool era). I used play as him quite a lot on the old video games due to his fun moveset.

5'11.5" to 6'0 now as per Rob's Picture with him. Was very Entertaining back in the day. Agile for a man of his weight which was realistically around 350 pounds. They billed him as 423 pounds.

Met Rikishi at a local indie show. Stood toe to toe and shook his hand.BIG fella for sure but I was surprised that ,at 5’11”plus running shoes(about .75 to an inch soles) I was a bit taller; maybe an inch. He , however was barefoot.

Well I would Recommend Rikishi to feel Lucky to be over 6 feet tall because men who are 400 lbs are generally 5'10 to 6' no taller than that but are very wide. How about 184 ?

Interesting that people mention The Rock given how Solofa is his cousin
Editor Rob - Would it be possible to create links on one page for the Anoa'i family given how many WWE stars past and present are part of this huge family?

I think he is taller than 183 cm... Rob, if you are 173, he must be 185 at least, in my opinion. I tried that already - I am 177 cm, my friend 190, and the difference about 12-13 cm is like this on this photo (his eyes are over your head, so I think he is taller than 183 sure).

Editor Rob it shows that even if he claimed a height, the wwe gave him their own shorter listing...which doesn't happen that often.

Solofa looks like a lovely, friendly, sociable guy! I rate his height as 6ft and agree with one of the comments (from Rampage Clover) that a guy his size will rarely stand his tallest.
I like his bleached, spiky hair! It's what can be called 'statement hair!'

Good choice Rob, Rikishi is pretty underrated in the ring due to all the hilarity and compromising positions, WWE would put him in. There must be something in the Samoan waters where most of the guys are over 6 ft tall! No doubt, he stood at 6'1 at his peak, and even though he is only in his early 50's, all those years wrestling does tend take a few inches off. If he is lucky enough to live till his 70's +, wouldn't be surprised if he drops to the 5'10 range. Although, don't tell him I said that, as I wouldn't want to receive a stink face from him!

I strongly disagree Aza hes looking more like 182-183cm in the photo with Rob, i wouldn't completely rule out that he could be 5'11.75, 6'0 at the maximum.

A guy his size will rarely stand at his tallest...I think he may still creep over the 6ft mark today if measured. Definitely a 6ft1 range guy 20 years ago though

He looked pretty close to The Rock in 2000:

I would say he was 6'1.5" and Rock was 6'3". His tremendous girth and his aging may have caused him to lose an inch or so.
