I'd say taker looks 6'6 min and he is bending slightly while the other guy is stood tall.
valdor said on 29/Dec/11
Frank, always respect it when you post but id have to be honest that pic comparrisson to me kinda makes Taker 6'6-7" . He towers him awready and you may notice he is standing far from straight.
Red said on 29/Dec/11
Frank says on 29/Dec/11
If that guy is 6ft Taker looks 6ft 4
Taker looks 6`6" with that posture, 6´7" if he stands straight, same as in the pic with Bret Hart posted by JT.

He is my favourite wrestler of all time next to hulk hogan. He is a huge guy. Big show is scared of him. 205cm is about right. 202 is a little short. He is a giant. If big show is 214cm than undertaker is 208cm easy.
The Ben said on 28/Dec/11
This is pretty interesting, You have to scroll down slightly but the guys bio says he's 6ft and 195 lbs.

Taker could be 6'6-6'8. but if I had to say I'd go 6'7.

Undertaker is actually the same height(or taller than) Kevin Nash people. Kevin Nash most likely had a footwear advantage and i've seen the two of them in a stare down and both men looked the same height.
drummer777 said on 26/Dec/11
I'd say at the most 6'6 barefoot a little over 6'7 in his shoes.
logan noll 1996 said on 24/Dec/11
6 foot 10 to 6 foot 11 sounds right. He is two inches shorter than 7 foot Big Show. (Big Show has 2 inch soles on his boots to give him a 2 inch boost).

I went to hell in the sell last year in october and got a front row seat and the Undertaker was realy realy tall ill say around 7 feet or so but it was realy cool to see someone in person thats that tall i dont think ill ever see someone that tall in person again while im at it i wanna make a shout out to my home state Miami Florida im 13 years old and am living the dream down here the other day i saw some people nockin coconuts of a couple of palm trees and one of them almost got hit once again my name is Kimmberly im 13 years old and take my word for it the Undertaker is realy realy tall love ya peace out and Merry Christmas Santa Clause is coming to town ho ho ho tell Rudolph i said hi!peace yall

I think 6'7"-6'7.5" is very realistic for both of them. I know there's a video where Sid is billed 6'7" but and I know I'll get crap for this but it coulda been a mistake. I once read a listing for Festus being 6'3" and I think most would agree he's at least 6'5". But Sid isn't a whole lot shorter than Nash. Click Here I'm sorry I don't buy a 6'9" Nash - maybe now that's possible but I think he was 6'10" at peak
_________
sid wasnt more than 6'7, he was barely 4 inches taller than luger in 1991 and barely an inch taller than dan spivey around same time
as for nash when i started here i believed nash was 6'10 but other evidence has come to light e.g the fact that tyler mane says he is actually 6'8 rather than the 6'10 he was claiming for years, watch any mane/nash tag match from 1993 and tell me if you see 2 inches between nash and mane, i certainly ain't seeing 2 inches Click Here
btw taker is closer to the camera in those photos, he wasn't taller than sid, that memphis video is best evidence we got because both men are in the exact same boots
I see a footwear advantage on Mane and that doesn't explain the other 'Taker photos with Sid plus my point about Sid's hair. Plus 'Taker's foot is closer to the camera - even if his whole body was he's not SO MUCH closer that it would take a way a lot of height
But you and I have been down this road before Vegas, we're not gonna agree :>)

I've always believed Taker was a hair over 6'7 and still is today, any height loss is minimal.
Sid was the one guy who made Taker look a flat 6'7 everytime they had a staredown. I can't even rule out Sid being the taller man as face to face it was too close to call, and I've got Sid at 6'6.75/6'7.
I certainly haven't seen a clear photo/video yet of Taker being clearly taller than Sid.

Click Here and
Here's the album with several photos of the two of them:
Click Here
I've said this a million times - 'Taker has a longer forehead. I doubt he has more than .5" on Sid, prob closer to .25", but his eye level is shorter and he's got a longer neck so at first glance Sid appears to be taller when technically he's not.
What's funny is this photo of Sid and 'Taker from the USWA has been around well before the video was posted on youtube
Click Here but no one bothered commenting on it because of what I said. But when the video came out everybody said they were the same height.
Here's some photos in color that Red posted
Click Here if you look at any of the staredowns of Sid and Taker w/o Sid wearing the mask, Sid's hair is went so it's not poofy like when he's wearing the mask. You have to take out some of Sid's poofy hair in the masked pic plus 'Taker isn't standing fully straight IMO.
I've always said 'Taker 6'8" and Sid slightly under. Don't get me wrong tho - I think 6'7"-6'7.5" is very realistic for both of them. I know there's a video where Sid is billed 6'7" but and I know I'll get crap for this but it coulda been a mistake. I once read a listing for Festus being 6'3" and I think most would agree he's at least 6'5". But Sid isn't a whole lot shorter than Nash.

Undertaker don't look 6'7.5 in that picture with a 5'11.5 Bret Hart. Taker could probably gain 0.5-0.75 in height with better posture but he still doesn't look 8 inches taller.Sid looks taller than taker in that picture with the hockey mask on.
Funny that taker was billed as 6'10 1/2 and 328.

Let me try again, I don´t think peak Taker had more than 2 inches on 6´5.75" Earthquake and I think this vid backs me up a little.
Click Here Sid wasn´t really shorter than Taker, they were very close in height, I would give Taker about 5mm-max 1cm height-advantage.
Taker 202cm peak
Sid 201cm peak
Tenta 198cm peak
Hogan 197cm peak
Tuga said on 9/Dec/11
6´6 taker? Yeah right, was he and wade barret around same height? Wasn´t taker same height as kane with a footware disavantage?? Is kane also 6'6 max?
I´m guessing some really don´t watch wrestling...what about staredowns with jbl and khali?
Red, great video, don´t remember ever seeing it, but taker not much taller than Tenta? Tenta was around same height as hogan, don´t you remember sid and hogan´s staredowns? Tenta would look about the same next to sid, taker is taller than sid so...
You could say tenta would be not much taller than jbl, and we know what happens when a non peak taker stands straight next to a 6'5 range jbl.
I´ve yet to see a 5'11 bret hart billing , Danimal, Rob met and took a picture with a non peak Bret, Rob´s 6´estimate comes with evidence, I guess you´re being honest about your estimate but you could be wrong and have no pic we could estimate from.
drummer777 said on 7/Dec/11
As well as being dropped on his which caused him to lose height, after years running back and forth in the ring which cause leg bones to erode a few inches. so he went from 7'0 down to 6'4.
He has the honor of wearing the late great Big JOhn studds shoe lifts to make him appear taller to all the little undertakers out there.
Not to mention Big Show bonked him on the head a couple of times which caused his neck to become shorter.

Hey all - I was just at the Survivor Series, The Rock made a funny height comment. After the show went off the air he was talking about Zack Ryder and he said, "That dude is TALL! I wasn't expecting that!" I looked it up outta curiousity - I found 6'1" and 6'2" listings for him.
The show was awesome, CRAZY crowd. I was in the nosebleeds so didnt get any good pics for heights or anything. All I can say is that, even in the nosebleeds, Big Show is still an incredible sight to see in person. He's so freakin huge I can't even describe!
Mark Henry and Mason Ryan are enormous as well.

Despite all of us disagreeing with you, you got a lotta pizazz, I like that, you stick to your guns. So my disagreements with you come respectfully, so you know :)
The only argument you have are the pics w/ Spivey. 'Taker has stood tall w/ plenty of other guys in the 6'5"-6'6" range. I posted ages ago their debut match and said the same things I'm about to say but it's worth one more shot then I'm just going to leave well enough alone:
Here's 'Taker's debut match in WCW/NWA. Spivey and 'Taker do appear the same height but if you pause at 1:49-1:51 and particularly 3:37 you can see Spivey's shoes are pretty thick.

Not much height difference between them, Undertaker and Sid are at the most 6'6 and Jbl if shorter I'd put him at 6'4 1/2 barefoot, Listed as 6'5 1/2 in football. Strange how he looks so close in height to Sid but in that one match he looked so much shorter than taker. Taker has to be wearing lifts in some matches and not in others.
Spivey is listed as 6'6 in Football, he is more likely 6'5ish barefoot, Undertaker wasn't taller than Spivey when they wrestled as The Skyscrapers.
In Fact Undertaker who was billed 6'8 back then was a half inch shorter than a billed 6'7 Sid, lol, They had Hogan billed 6'8 in the 80's and we all know Hogan was shorter than a billed 6'7 psycho sid back then..
So Sid,Spivey,Undertaker somewhere in the 6'5 to 6'6 range, with Sid having about half an inch on either man. JbL is at the most 6'5 1/2 so then if Undertaker is 6'6 only half an inch maybe if that is the case.

Since its a show and Undertaker is Top Billed, and in Height they Billed Undertaker 6'10 and JBL 6'6 for some of their mathes. So in order for Undertaker to get into character he had to wear big jacked up boots to appear taller than JBL.
JBL is listed in football at 6'5 1/2, He may be 6'4 1/2 barefoot, I wouldn't put Undertaker at 6'7. 6'6 at the most for Undertaker, if you notice in that pic Undertaker is wearing boots as well, not cowboy boots but boots just as well.
If Undertaker is Taller I'd say only by a half an inch. In football they give the guys an inch to 3 inch exaggeration. So if JbL is really 6'4 1/2 and Undertaker is 6'5 1/2 or 6'6 that would explaine that as well.
so 6 foot 6 for Undertaker at the most, if Undertaker is not wearing lifts Like Tiny lister did to appear taller than Hogan as the mighty Zeus.
LOL! JBL is 6ft5 bang on! and 0.5 inch between them!!?? LOL!!!!!!!! That would make JBL as tall or 0.25 inch taller than Sid which is not possible.And Undertaker at the most 6ft6?? I have never seen him wear big boots and even is 1999 Taker looked to have 3 to 3.5 inch on Bradshaw.There is no way Taker is as short as 6ft5.5.That would put Kane at 6ft4.
drummer777 said on 3/Nov/11
There are many wrestlers who wear lifts in their boots. Besides Chris Jericho, Hulk Hogan used to wear lifts so that he would look taller then 6'4". Lifts are a very common part of wrestling, but the heights vary. I wear 2" lifts in my boots. My lifts are for stability when I walk the top rope. Some wear lifts for more height, some for cushioning, and some for stability and balance. When you get lifts in your boots, walk around with them in the ring for about an hour. This would include running the ropes and doing basic maneuvers and bumps. The lifts will mess you up in the beginning, but about an hour or two after you start wearing them and you will be good to go.

he is bending his head backwards, his shoulders are just as high as takers, old trick to make someone look taller, rodman does it here too at 6mins 10secs Click Here try that move for yourself in front of a mirror, guarantee you will lose inches, if barrett is easily 4 inches shorter than taker then hhh and lesnar are no more than an inch shorter than barrett as taker had both of them by around 5 inches, funny hhh didn't seem taller than zeke jackson yet barrett has inches on him, barrett and kane Click Here
I agree.But Undertaker CAN NOT be less than 3 inches taller than Barret.If Taker is 3 inches taller,then that easily puts Taker at 6ft 8 and Barrett at 6ft5.If Taker was 6ft6.5 like some people say,then HHH would have been 6ft1 and Brock Lesnar at 6ft1,Khali at 6ft11.5,Big Show at 6ft10.5,Rey Mysterio at 5ft1.5[that's BS because Rey is 5ft4],Shawn Michaels at 5ft9,Mr.McMahon at 5ft9 and Sid at 6ft6[Sid IS 6ft7.5]. Khali was 19 inches taller than Salman Khan[Indian Actor] who is 5ft6.5.So that would put Khali at 7ft1 or 7ft1.5,thereby making Undertaker 6ft8.Taker is an inch and a half taller than Kane and that too puts Taker at 6ft8.Do you agree with me Vegas?? :)

Has anyone been noticing the change in billings in the weights lately? I heard Orton announced as 235 last night and I'm pretty sure at Vengance Kofi was announced 215 or something and I think I heard 213 for Rhodes recently. It's not often I hear anyone billed under 220 unless its someone relatively small like Mysterio or something. I'm interested to see if they'll change heights but I doubt it

that experiment didn't last too long because they upped the weights of most of the guys they dropped again, couple of weeks back they introduced christian at 199lb, ziggler at 203 and punk at 204 but they had christian at 212lb this week on raw, well 212 is a bit better than his previous completely laughable 227lb billing
NCL they changed the heights of a few of the wrestlers, khali dropped to 7'1 and 347lb from 7'3 and 420lb, sheamus dropped to 6'4 from 6'6, both barrett and swagger grew to 6'7, barrett had been listed 6'5 and swagger 6'6, it was about time they made barrett taller than sheamus though, maybe now they will drop kane to a more realistic 6'8 or 6'9, atm they have khali just 1 inch taller than kane and kevin nash listed 2 inches shorter than jacobs :D

i met and talked with tron couple of weeks back, they had him in development down in fcw under tha name jason mullen, but was let go, he is massive, for sure taller than either kane or taker in person and seemed taller than matt morgan too, very close in height with big show, would love to see both of them staredown, i really had to look way up talking to him and i know two guys who are legit 6'7, they could easily have billed him as big shows son or cousin or something, looks alot like young wight did with the long hair and beard in wcw, no signs of acromegaly though

Taker 6'8, nash 6'9 1/2, unless you post proof otherwise like jbl at 6'3 and khali at 6'11 for example, as for nash he had 1 and 1/2 inches on taker and at least 2 inches over nba´s oliver miller a measured 6'7 1/2, just examples.
So 6'6 posters do post your evidence...really curious about it.
Isis could be taller than both, well, if her heels count of course...I really can´t see her taller than nash at least.

Drexyl said on 7/Jul/09
Undertaker was almost certainly heavier than Kane in 1999. Kane went from being very thick and heavily built in '98 to what you saw in that video, and then he started to get big again around the middle of 2000.
Ray said on 4/Jul/09
Here'a an interesting video:
Click HereShows how big Undertaker really was during the ministry era. He gets in the ring with Kane at around 7:30 on. Not that it has much merit since there's no staredown but at a glance it looks like Undertaker is taller (even with Kanes large boots) and aside from that, Undertaker very well may have also weighed more than Kane/had more mass at this time than him. Again, doesn't hold too much merit but it's worth a watch and certainly entertaining that Undertaker may have been all around bigger than Kane at this time. Undertaker looked 300 lbs.+ for sure there and was probably around his actual billed weight of 328 lbs.

There is medication for your disorder.
Shock said on 28/Jun/09
I guess Rob isn't going to check where he will see all the posts in the last 2 months made by Electric were from a different person. It should also be noted that clearly Electric uses a photobucket account to post pic comparisons, and I use my own website. I don't think the name "Electric Shock" was even used between December 6th, 2007 and May of 2009. Rob, I'm curious, as to how many times I did post as "Electric Shock" in 2007? Other than that post, in which I even refer to Electric (the other "avid billbuster"), I only see one post in the Nathan Jones thread which happens to still show posts from 2007 and was on the same day. Maybe a couple vs the dozens made by a different IP in the last two months. I know from running my own board that you have to do a little bit of research at times with this stuff when vbulletin sends out a message about dup account posting. I've had users who can't speak english very well have friends on the site post for them as a translator so it looks like the same person is posting from two different locations.

What? I showed everybody the first 3 posts each of the usernames made and they all originated from the same computer.
so you can explain on December 6th 2007 how 'Electric Shock' posted from the same computer as Shock/Shock of Electric.

C said on 25/Jun/09
I thought Taker was 6'10 and Kane was 7'0
Shock said on 24/Jun/09
No, he has an approximately 11" tall head. It may be hard to believe at say 6'7.5", but at 6'8" or taller it isn't. If there is say, 2.5" under his mouth, and you are at all below that, it would leave nearly 9" above (since some people don't like referring to 1/4" increments). Compare his skull to anyone else and you will see shocking results. Undertaker's forehead (eyebrows and above) is almost 5" alone. The top of his head is 2/3 - 3/4 into that hat in the picture here.
And btw, I still cannot believe there is any doubt as to Taker being taller than Kane. Kane cannot be any shorter than 6'7.5" and Taker is no less than .5" taller.
Clay said on 23/Jun/09

In the pics Tom posted with Kane and MVP, Taker is between .5" and .75" taller than Kane and that's not counting boots, and even when you correct the ropes to be even, since they favor Taker slightly. This agrees with what I've been suggesting all along.
Undertaker = 6'8.25" as of 2007, unlikely to be any shorter today, or any taller in the 90s, unless we want to go up to 6'8.5" or more. I would suggest Kane has lost some height as I believe he was nearly the same height as Taker during the Yankem gimmick.
He is 8.5" taller than Frank in the pic here, with his traditional headlean. Closer to 9" at full posture.
9'' taller? I dont think taker has a 14'' head..

Ray, Undertaker is 6'6.75 and 6'7.5 in wrestling boots I'd say. Also quite thin so he isn't so intimidating these days as when he was taller and heavier built.
JBL can easily reach Undertaker's height and more when he wears bigger boots. He is about 6'8.25 in cowboy boots and then outsizes UT. Triple H is nearly 6'2.
Ray said on 20/Jun/09
Come on 6'6"-6'6.5" today; that is too low. Also, how did he lose 2" in height? I could see an inch but he really looks pretty much the same height as he always did. Most of the time he looks and hunches down since most are shorter but the times he does stand straight he looks darn tall to me; lowest I will go for him is 6'7" and that is still too low. 6'7" and change and probably 6'8" still is his height. Take a look at this backstage HHH and Taker staredown. Triple H is 6'2" and probably at least 6'3" in his boots if not slightly more. Look at Taker looking down on HHH.

I definately do think that the undertaker is 6ft 8inches because i have heard him state it in an interview and if he was going to lie he would of said 6ft 10in, which is his wrestling height.

Titan, Taker and Paul Bearer were about on the same plane i was behind them so i was looking alittle taller Go to the Gary Sinise page and see how much taller i am than a 5ft 8 person but Gary could also be 5ft 7.5 ?? Taker is a Big Dude take my word on that!!
hs2009 said on 12/Jun/09
Kurt Angle ALWAYS exaggerates. He's an amazing athlete but can talk a load of rubbish & rewrite history when it suits him.
I still can't see any significant height loss for The Undertaker, I just watched the Royal Rumble 2009 & he was about 3" taller than 6'5" Mike Knox. His boots didn't look anything special either IMO. Still a strong 6'7.5" for me, perhaps 6'8" on a good day.
Clay said on 11/Jun/09
Kurt is exaggerating. Some of them are billed pretty much properly. Cena and Orton are just a couple that come to me off the top of my head. Undertaker is possibly just 6'7'' today and compensates with lifts, thats why I said theres possibly 6 inches between him and Khali. Probably just 5-5.5.
Frank said on 11/Jun/09
Sam, Taker was more than 6 inches taller than me and i am on Higher ground than him in the picture the ground was going on a upward slope
BIG Red said on 10/Jun/09
ahh nathan jones and mark callaway are the same height probably an inch of a difference so we cant call taker 6'7 6'8 '69 would be great
Sam said on 10/Jun/09
6'6'' Kurt Angle said "everyone is four inches shorter than billed height" and if you look at this pic....the 5'11 man in the middle would have to be 6'4' if takers height is right.. Id say taker is a 6'6 (real life)
Shock of Electric said on 10/Jun/09
Taker comes up to Khali's eyes so there's no way Khali's got more than 5" on him. For 6" Taker would have to come up to the middle of his nose. It's more like 4.75", and that's based on Khali with an 11.5" tall head. His is somewhere in height between Taker's and Big Show's.
I think the reason why people downgrade Taker is because of something like Big John Studd's 6'10" bill, which was about 3" more than he actually was, and I believe this was to cover the gap somewhat for Andre's ridiculous 7'4" bill. In fact at times Studd was billed near 7' similarly to Kane. People probably assume that 6'10.5" is just his actual height + 3". Taker's 6'10.5" bill lines up a bit bette with guys like Sid's 6'9" bill, Hogan 6'8", Akeem 6'9", Issac Yankem 6'10" Nash 7', Big Show's original WWF 7'2", Khali 7'3", all 2-2.25" more than their peak heights.
Another big factor is how he leans his head forward, and how often he has smaller boots than his opponents. People still insist that he wore lifts during the Ministry era, he didn't, just really as tall as he comes out if not taller.
I've been saying, if Taker had his head straight up in the above pic, he'd look closer to 9" taller than Frank.
Ray said on 9/Jun/09
"Clay says on 8/Jun/09

Go onto Hilbilly Jim's website and you'll see a pic of Hilbilly Jim who is marginally taller than Earthquake. It's a picture from 2004 I believe. Earthquake was sick (dying of Cancer), but what's interesting is that Hogan was taller than Hilbilly Jim from 1985-1989 and her we see Hilbilly taller than Earthquake. Could that mean that Hogan would have been taller than Earthquake in the 1980's? Quite possibly imo. Maybe he really was close to 6'7" at one point.

Early 97 Undertaker's boots were 1", from mid 1997 to 1999, they were under 1". This works out very well in effort to make Kane appear taller than Undertaker considering Kane's boots were about 2" at the biggest. In 2000 to 2003, ocassionally Taker wore Tims style wrestling boots. They weren't actually Tims, but they were designed as such, giving him 1.25"-1.5", equal with Kane. During this time, Taker generally came out slightly tall than Kane. This is because Taker is bumped up .75" from the gothic era, and kane is down .5", eliminating the 1.25" boot advantage he had in 1997 to 1999.
As for Nathan Taker, I say max 1.25" difference.

The training video is the proof. Nathan Jones is only 1 inch taller.
Danimal said on 4/Jun/09
Electricc Shock,
Hogan has been known to have said he underwent back sugery in the early 1990's, reducing his height by 1 1/4". If he was a FULL 6'6" in his younger days (which I believe he was), then he was down to 6'4 3/4" by the early 1990's and maintained that height until the late 90's at which point he was down to 6'4". After 2000, he went to a shade over 6'3".
The Ben said on 4/Jun/09
The video with undertaker training jones is hard to argue with... Maybe taker was wearing lifts in his boots. (although in 2003 i dont remember him wearing lifts like he did in 1998-2000)
Going by that video i would say jones 6'9 taker 6'8... But going by all other evidence from the begining of the universe until the dawn of hulkamania and right through till today i would say jones 6'10, taker 6'7-8... Taker must have had bigger soles.
Da Man said on 3/Jun/09
Just the opposite, actually.
Electric Shock said on 3/Jun/09
Danimal
Hogan came out 6'5" with a distinct posture disadvantage against 6'5.75" Earthquake. If he had been in the same posture they would've been virtually identical. Hogan however, had about a layer of boot advantage, which would put him at 6'5.5".
If you want to ignore boots, since there's been so much disputing on the matter, Sid is 1.5" taller than Hogan, and Taker is 1" taller than Sid.
That'd put them at approximately:
Undertaker- 6'8"
Sid- 6'7"
Hogan- 6'5.5"
I can't buy Undertaker under 6'8", unless you want to bump Kane down to 6'7.25" or 6'7" even, as Undertaker is half an inch taller than Kane.

Nathan Jones is NOT 6'10". He's only an inch taller than The Undertaker.
Frank, Hogan had lost height by the time he faced Sid. Hogan was 6'5.5" ish by the time he wrestled Sid. Sid also had a slight boot advantage of 1/4". Sid was never 2 full inches taller than Hogan, at least not until WCW.
I believe that Hogan was down to a FLAT 6'5" by the time he faced Sid and Taker in the early 1990's.

Jones is about 6'10, certainly no less than 6'9 1/2. Undertaker was I believe just over 6'8 when he was working with Nathan in the early 2000's. Sid was about 6'7 1/2-2/3 years ago.

Hey guys, just curious as to how you think Matt Morgan from TNA would stack up with the big men from WWE...Show, Taker, Kane and Khali. If there are any pics out there, post them.
I think he is 6'9 or thereabouts. Defintely bigger than Taker and Kane are these days. Don't know what weight they are claiming in TNA but he must be 300lbs or so.
Thanks for reminding me Big Show about the 7'7 WCW billing. I kinda miss Gonzales. Its a shame he had to retire.

"WCW had billed him as high as 7'1".
Yes I can believe it. If anything WCW probably had the edge when it came to exaggeration.
It depends. Sometimes WWF exaggerated a certain wrestler's height more than WCW and sometimes it was the other way around. Look at Giant Gonzalez. He was billed at 8 feet in the WWF and at 7'7 in WCW. Undertaker was also billed at a taller height in WWF than anytime before.

Hogan couldn't have lost much height by the early 90s. Most of his height he had lost I would think came around 2000 and on. Say he was a 6'5.5-6'6 peak, by early 90's still in the 6'5 range and around 2000 6'4ish and from 2002 and on has looked more 6'3ish.

ACE said on 11/May/09
I have read quotes from fellow wrestlers and the man himself that say Taker's real height is 6'8 so there is no reason to believe otherwise. Weight wise he is about 290 now. I have a WWE magazine in which Jim Ross says Undertaker "considered retirement when he had multiple injury problems and by that stage he was tipping the scales at a career high 340 which was only further aggravating his existing knee issues." This was during his biker phase.

Stop saying wrestler's are never underbilled. They are much more often overbilled but the opposite does happen. I know this is true because a wrestler on a message board said so himself. It wasn't someone impersonating a wrestler either. Weight,I'm guessing would be more often underbilled than height.
KingNick said on 8/May/09
Ok, here we go. This is all from WWE UNSCRIPTED copyright 2003.
Since we've been talking about 'Taker's weight, here's some highlights:
P. 105 Undertaker: "When I hurt my pecs ... I was 350 pounds, heaviest I've ever been. I was training like an animal, with heavy weights, but Sara was feeding me so well I was enormous."
Not sure if he was 350 here but he looks well over 300 to me when he debuted as the biker:
Click HereHere's a reference to his height and weight from early in his career:
P. 39 Undertaker in reference to a guy speaking to him about becoming a wrestler: "You fill out a little bit at 6'8", you could go someplace."
Here's Undertaker talking about Mabel on P. 104 "I was wrestling Mabel, who was 6'8" and 450, 500 pounds, maybe more."
And here are some other wrestlers talking out of kayfabe:
P. 12-13 Big Show: "The summer after my sophomore year, I put on 40lbs of muscle and I walked in as a junior at 6'11" and 300 pounds."
P. 73 Big Show: "I'M SEVEN feet tall in my bare feet and I weigh 453 pounds ... At 12, I was 6'2", 220 pounds, at 14, I was 6'8", about 235."
P. 21 Edge: "I was 17 years old, 6'2" or 6'3", about 180 pounds."
P. 61 Nathan Jones: "I'm 6'10". I was always big for my age; I was always a foot taller than the rest of the kids."
P. 195 Stone Cold talking about Jake the Snake: "There was Jake "The Snake" Roberts, 6'4", 6'5", but an A frame ..."
These are all direct quotes.
KingNick said on 7/May/09
OK to give everyone a heads up, I have a book called WWE (may have been WWF at the time) Unscripted where all the wrestlers talk out of kayfabe. I usually post this once or twice a year.
Undertaker refers to himself as 6'8" several times and "around" 300 lbs (I have an old UT magazine too where he says the same thing). He talks about how at one point he was close to 350 (when he became the biker) because his wife was feeding him so much but then he lost the weight real quickly. When I have some time I'll find the book and magazine and give you exact quotes.
My personal opinion, I think Undertaker has been AROUND 300lbs throughout his career, meaning a little under or a little over depending on the year. I'd say he was a solid 300lb when he debuted in the WWF, but from 1995-1997 he was very thin, I say maybe as low as 270. When he became the biker, I think he was wwell over 300 until he cut his hair and trimmed down. Now I'd say 280-300. The dude's huge one way or another.
But again, when I get the time, I'll give you exact quotes from the book and some pictures.

I can believe Taker was 330lbs. in his ministry days (especially when he fought Austin in The First Blood Match in 1999). Today I can't see him any lower than 270lbs. and I think he inflates 10-15 lbs at times. He would have to look a little thinner to be 255-260 since he's IMO 6'7" at least.
miko said on 6/May/09
There is such thing as an UNDERBILL. Not all weights/heights are raised.
Look at Randy Orton for example, billed at 6"4 and he is 6"4. If the WWE wanted to they could bill him as 6"6.
Danimal said on 6/May/09
Daniel_Sweden,
Taker WAS 335 pounds in 1998. He stated this weight in a 1998 interview, claiming he had gained TOO much weight and by 2000 he slowly began to lose weight. Taker is MAX 255-260 pounds today.
daniel_Sweden said on 5/May/09
this make sense if the undertaker at his peak was 6'7.5 and built as 6'10 then hogan was 2 inches shorter and that makes hogan a legit 6'5.5..

Taker was up to 335 pounds in 1998. He admitted that he had grown overweight in an interview which USED to be on here (4 years ago). He literally looks like he has dropped down to 250 pounds nowadays and looks to be 6'6"-6'6.5". PEAK, I have NO trouble seeing him at 6'7.5"-6'8".
miko said on 4/May/09
Taker just doesn't seem to have a huge imposing presence any more. Probably because of weight loss and fractional height loss.
Peak: 6"7.5 (300lbs+)
Today: 6"6.75.6"7 (280lbs)

The only constant with pro wrestling is that they always alter the stated height to make tiny guys sound smaller and the big guys bigger! If your 6'6-6'7 youll probably be billed as 7 foot.

And I thought wrestling were the only ones that are exaggerating their athletes stats to extreme measures.
I guess the 6'1 listings of Jan Nortje are probably typos where they forgot to put the last 1 in it aswell. Nonetheless I'd say after seeing his staredowns with Giant Bernard he's in the 6'6 range. He's also looking in the 6'6 range in his match with Bob Sapp.
If Jan Nortje is indeed 6'6" than both Semmy Schilt and Julius Long look more like 6'8"-6'9".
There's also a tag-team match where Jan Nortje is teaming up with Giant Singh (a.k.a. The Great Khali). Like to get my hands on that one to see how Singh measured up to Nortje.

Click HereClick HereThey look close in height, but I think Albert edges him out slightly because of his huge head.
Believe it or not both K-1 and MMA has Jan Nortje listed at 6'11"
Click HereClick HereJan 'The Giant' Nortje looks 1-2 inches shorter than Semmy Schilt who's mostly listed at 6'11.5" (which probably is another huge exaggeration).
Click HereBtw at 0:44 they have Giant Bernard's billings on screen and they say he's 193cm and 150kg which equals 6'4 and 331 lbs. My guess is this Japanese organization doesn't know how to convert inches to centimetres.
Big Show said on 29/Apr/09
Seeing as Matt Bloom/Albert/Giant Bernard doesn't have his own board I thought I'd post it here, as we've had plenty of discussion about him. Here's a match between him and Bob Sapp (who's a confirmed 6'4 in my book). Bob Sapp is barefoot and Albert in his wrestling boots. He better not have major lifts in those as he looks around 3-4 inches taller than Sapp.

I put the vid link up to show what he was once billed at not to prove he was 6'8. I didn't think he could be any taller than 6'8 even before I saw the vid. 6'7 is the shortest I would say UT could be. Not that this proves anything but I met a guy 4-5 years ago who had some pics with wrestlers. I said that UT wasn't 6'10-6'10 1/2 and before I even guessed at what height I thought UT really was he said 6'7. I think the estimate on top of page is likely correct.

studd at 6'5" wud make him an 1" shorter than a peak hogan wrong.he had 1.5"-2on hogan.he had a shade on omg so i suppose hes 6'4.75" wrong.he had 2" on jake roberts in 1989 who we've all given 6'5".he had loads on mcmahon and over a foot on alfreds hayes in their interview.he was 2-3" taller than his trainer killer kolwalski who was billed 6'7" probably 6'5.5".im not sure y fralic was close to him maybe had a slight elevation but in the battle royle it self spivey who was probably 6'7" at the time was taller than fralic but not studd.when hes elminated from the battle royle 6'10" ed too tall jones certainly does not have a 5" advantage more like 2" at most over studd.and when teaming with 6'9" ernie the cat ladd theres little difference maybe 1" 1.5".taker 6'8" kane 6'9" and yankeem who is kane wasnt billed 6'7" it was 6'11".nash 6'10" sid 6'7.5" big show 7' khali 7'1.5.

Taz's official WWE height bill was 5'9", his ECW height bill was 5'8" in the mid 90s. I met Taz and Tommy Dreamer in 1998 at a local autograph signing and gave them a promo tape of myself doing some indy shows. Taz is no more than 5'7', probably 5'6.5".
Undertaker is about 5.5" taller than Triple H who is closer to 6'3" than 6'2". Trips comes up to his eyes, Taker's head is massive and his eyes are quite centered.
Taker being promoted at 6'8" early in his career by a random commentator has such little value it's really not even worth thinking about. He's been called 6'5" by Roddy Piper, and we don't believe that.
Undertaker is definitely in the low 6'8" range today and always was. He was taller than Sid who everyone seems to think is at least 6'7" which I also agree with. So many people have a hard time believing Taker was an inch taller than Sid, I think there's a chance he was slightly more than 1" taller barefoot because Sid generally either had slightly thicker boots and always did his infamous head tilt.

Here's an old vid of Undertaker as the Punisher in it they say 6'8 over 300 lb. So maybe he was 6'8 at most at one time.Click Here
That proves he was never 6'8'' if anything, a guy in his early 20's billed 6'8'' and IS 6'8'' seems fairly improbable, though i still think was at least 6'7'' peak. Maybe its just bad promoting, who knows?
Why is it fairly improbable? Just because wrestlers heights are inflated most of the time, doesn't necessarily mean that his 6'8" listing at the start of his career was. The 6'10"-6'10.5" listing is obviously inflated, but various people in the wrestling buisness have described Taker as 6'8" (non-kayfabe) & he claims that height when he could very easily claim taller. So I really don't see why 6'8" is such a difficult height to believe.
KingNick, that is funny! I also like Taz a lot, but 5'10" is pushing it to say the least :D

Not to get off topic but I have to post this somewhere.
Taz is easily one of my favorite wrestlers ever. He's extraordinarily talented to say the least. But who does he think he's fooling with this height listing?? :>)

one picture is all u go by john tenta was 6'5.75" at 19 so i guees its impossible he grew another 3/4".if u honestly think john studd was 6'4" or 5" u should go to specsavers.its probably annoying for u daminal and ola that ur small men urselfs but just relax maybe the next lifetime.

jake roberts was at least 6'5 seeing how he was taller than my 6'4 brother. He also is a piece of garbage and drunk.
nick said on 22/Apr/09
yea that vid always got me, i really thing triple h is a 6'2.75-6'3 guy, if he had 1.75 footwear he would be around 6'4.5 in his boots. Taker could be around 6'8.5 with an inch footwear so you have only 4 inches between them which it looks to be. Barefoot i say taker has 5 inches on triple h

john tenta was easily 6'6" he was taller than peak hogan who was probably 6'5-6" so 6'6.5" for tenta would be about right. taker peak was closer to 6'9" 6'8" today. sid akeem studd were all around the same height of about 6'7.5"-8.5".jake roberts 6'5" maybe 6'4.5".bossman seemed alot taller when he started looked his billed height of 6'6" but then sometimes looked only 6'2" which is still tall.
Why do you exagerate EVERYONE, even OFFICIALLY MEASURED people like John Tenta who was OFFICIALLY measured at 6'5 3/4", yet you give him 6'6.5". You also claimed Andre was 7'4" and Big John Studd 6'8.5". You're in your 20's. You're no longer a kid. It's as though you fantasize about these men being GIANTS. They were tall, just not as tall as you would have liked for them to have been.
Alex said on 21/Apr/09
Actually I could see as much as 4 but still that would make UT no more than 6'6 there unless HHH was wearing bigger boots.
Alex said on 21/Apr/09
Big Show, yea it appears like UT is only 2 inches taller than HHH there. Crazy.
Big Show said on 21/Apr/09
Click HereTriple H looking awfully close in height to Undertaker in this video. You kinda wonder what Triple H is wearing in his boots sometimes as I've seen him look 3 inches taller than Vince and maybe 8 inches shorter than Big Show in the middle of the ring sometimes.
