KingNick said on 13/Feb/09
Here's another thing about Undertaker's height. His features are very low and he has a long forehead so he can appear shorter than he actually is.
Tuga found a video that Red was nice enough to screen cap. A good close up of Sid and UT from WM 13
Click HereIf Sid wasn't tilting his head back his features would still be higher than UT's and he would appear at first glance to be taller. But in reality UT is taller because of his face and head are longer.
I think this is why he can appear shorter next to smaller wrestlers plus he rarely stands up straight to begin with unless it's with someone as tall or taller than him, which is rare, like The Great Khali.
And not sure if my last post went through or not but here's UT vs. Orton from last Monday's Raw. I see more than a 2" difference there
Click HereI'm open to UT possibly being 6'7" now but I still think he's 6'8".

In his lifts Jericho can look very close to guys like Kennedy, MVP and Cena so him being anything under 5'9 doesn't sound very possible. He also was easily taller than Chris Benoit (atleast 5'8) and Eddie Guerrero (maybe 5'7?).
I can live with 5'9" for Jericho, but I'm not ruling out 5'8"-5'8.5" for him. Benoit was a flat 5'8" and Eddie Guerrero was just shy of 5'8". Dean Malenko was barely over 5'7".

I understand what you guys are saying, Danimal and Alex. I think the guy had to adapt the way he did. If you notice from 1990-1993 and even most of 94 and 95, Undertaker never showed any emotion in the ring. No pain, nothing. If you notice, he never even made a sound. Around 96 when he started having his wars with Mankind is when he started doing that. It's the first time I can remember him making sound in the ring, Survivor Series 1996 (his "rebirth") Click Here The guys human, I think he probably decided he no longer wanted to/couldn't hide the pain anymore, which is why he adapted into a more human-like character with supernatural-like qualities.
Also we were talking about his weight a while ago, look at him in the video. I doubt he was over 300 there
He was hovering around 300 pounds at that time. By 1998-1999 he was 335 pounds. He wrote this in a late 90's interview. He also was A LOT stronger at a heavier bodyweight. He used to lift men off the ground and a lot higher off the ground with MUCH MORE ease. I still see him as being taller in the 1990's guaranteed.

I was watching some old clips and matches of UT from 1991-1994. I miss that UT. He was good from 94-97 too but after that he went on a decline to me.
I liked his stage presence a lot more back then too Alex. Taker actually acted like a DEAD MAN. He was fun to watch. He was like a walking zombie. He was the best thing about the WWF back then. He started to become TOO human since 1999 or so. He lost his APPEAL at that point imo. He HAD become a better athlete this decade. I will give him that. He puts his body at a higher risk in recent years, instead of just moving slowly like a zombie, but he no longer seems invincible. Remember when he used to get knocked down and he'd SIT UP and everyone would freak out and they would say: "He's NOT human" and the earn would always give him magical powers. He just seemed more imposing back then. I remember in 1993 when he fought Giant Gonzales. That was fun to watch.
AKK said on 22/Jan/09
I don't think it was getting dropped on his head that did in his height so much as trying to take the shock of some 600 lbs on your kneecaps. I did a Tombstone to my cousin many years back(when he was like 5 and I was 13 or so), and even then, on a matress, the impact on my knees was pretty bad(cousin was totally shielded by them). Imagine trying to do that with somebody your own weight. It's like jumping(and landing flat on your feet) from your own height every time you do it.

Khali has his feet i agree a little more than shoulder width when my feet are a little more than shoulder width i measured a half inch less this time for him it should be the same if he moved them in a bit lilike me.

Yes, Shaq has his head tilted back, but as we saw in their pic together Khali's chin is dramatically lower than Shaq's which is where most of his head size comes from. The guy's head is enormous. I would also guess Shaq is around 8 heads tall, putting his head around 10.5".

I have to disagree, Nick. When I measure with my feet 3" apart versus 2'9" apart (which gives me at 6'2.5" a footing similar to Khali's) I lose between 1-7/8" and 2-1/4" in height. I just verified this.
With my feet 12" apart (similar to Taker) versus 2'9" apart I lose 1-1/4". Khali at 7'1" with much longer legs than me likely has his feet well over 3' apart there, and is more than likely giving up WELL over an inch to Taker with his stance.

Khali's wide stance is why Taker looks only 4" shorter in that staredown. He's probably be more like 5" shorter in reality, but he still stacks up really well to Khali.

He did play in college I have it in one of the magazines but I've gotta find it. Once I do I'll let you know.
Jericho's a tough one but I say 5'9" - 5'10" I think 5'8" is too short for him.

If anyone's read Jericho's book, there's loads of pictures in street clothes with Chavo & Eddie Guerrero. In them he has 3"-3.5" on them, so I don't think Jericho is under 5'9.5". He had 0.5"-1" on Chris Benoit in street clothes also.
On a side note, I'd recommend Jericho's book to anyone. It's a great read.
Alex said on 13/Jan/09
Angle had an inch on both Benoit and Jericho. Maybe a bit more on Benoit. But also Jericho and Benoit wore lifts a lot I heard about a lot. Either way no more than 5'9 for both of them.

Jericho is probably 5ft 9 barefoot no more than that

Rob if you want to use this picture we will arrange somthing. Ill actually measure my friend and send a picture of him being measured much like you do to yourself.
hs2009 said on 12/Jan/09
Yeah, I've read 5'8" listings for Jericho as well. He's billed all over the place depending where you read, lol. Personally, I think he's about 5'9.5"-5'10" in his barefeet & pushing 6'0" in his wrestling boots.
Alex said on 12/Jan/09
Kurt Angle was a bit taller than Jericho too. Looked to be an inch.
Alex said on 12/Jan/09
Jericho sometimes looked barely taller than Benoit, like 1/2 inch. Both wore lifts at times and Jericho sometimes did look closer to HHH's height in a few staredowns.

I think there are maybe 4" between Show and Taker; could be a hair less though today. Taker looked pretty tall against him recently. I wouldn't take Kane's high school basketball listing as fact since high schools can and most likely over bill by 2". The biggest guy on the basketball team in my high school was 6'5" and he was billed at 6'7".

I understand where you're coming from normally that would settle it for me too. The only thing that holds me back with that is I remember The Rock being listed as 6'5" in football (I don't have a link I remember seeing it on a biography way back. There was a photo of it on the show) so what I'm saying is it's possible it could be off. But I do agree whatever the difference is it's not more than .5"

So I'd take anything from a magazine with a pinch of salt, even if it does sound logical to some.

There maybe 5 inches when show wears lifts but i seem them look 3 to 4 inches @ times
The tallest I've ever seen Big Show appear next to Undertaker is here:
Click HereAnd Big Show isn't even wearing his big wrestling boots here (who always had a big sole, but no one has ever proven he wore lifts). He's wearing some type of black dressing shoes, which had a considerable smaller sole than on his wrestling boots. Taker's posture isn't good, but I'd say there's at least a 5 inch difference, which makes sense. If Taker is 6'8 he would have to be 6'8.5 in ring gear, which would make Show 7'1.5 in ring gear and just over 7 feet
When Big Show looked 3-4 inches taller than Taker it had more to do with Show's horrible posture than with his boots. It looked to me that Show sometimes deliberately slouched to give the impression that Taker is 6'10.

KingNick said on 5/Jan/09
I'm leaning towards Kane being Rob's guestimate of 6'7.5" and I'll show you why with theories and photos.
Everyone knows I'm a firm believer of UT being 6'8", so let's just say for argument's sake he is. Here they are at WM14 with about a 1.5" - 2" difference in Kane's favor
Click HereThat same shot shows Kane's boots from WM 14. I'm trying to find a clearer one but check out the 2:22 mark on this video
Click Here now I know the question has been brought up of how big can a lift be for a guy to wrestle but I'm sorry, those have to give him AT LEAST a 2.5" boost.
So if Kane was 6'7.5" barefoot, that'd make him 6'10" in those boots. Now here are UT's boots from that match
Click Here nearly flat. TOPS .5" boost, probably more like .25". That would make UT around 6'8.5" TOPS. There's your 1.5" to 2" difference.
This particular 2.5" boost also explains how at times Kane can be within 3" of Big Show. Depending on Show's shoes, Kane can appear very close in height if he wears those.
And Kane obviously didn't/ doesn't always wear these super lifts. Here he is looking only 1" taller than UT
Click HereNow think about it. How Kane be taller already yet wear these lifts such as these to be taller than Undertaker by only an inch?
Click HereIt only makes sense that they're either the same height or Kane is just a little shorter. That also explains why Kane and UT appeared the same height in that live fan pic someone posted a while back. UT prob wears a normal wrestling shoe now making him closer to 6'9". Kane is probably around 6'9" in his boots now which may give him up to 1.5" boost.

Undertaker and kane seem pretty much the same height, there really is nothing in it, is there any footage of sid against kane? all 3 seem pretty much the same height give or take an inch.
I will say that isaac yankem never seemed that tall to me, maybe its because Kane has a relatively short neck compared to sid and the undertaker.
When stood by themselves Sid looks tallest but when stood together he appears shortest.

I was watching some youtube videos of matches of UT back then. Man I miss that. I favorite UT days were from 1992-1994. 95-97 was good too but from 98 on he started changing as a dead man then was the evil UT then came back as the biker. His new dead man character from 2004 I wasn't big on either.

Big Show, you get the prize of the year from me man! AMAZING FIND!
You're right unfortunately it's not good quality, but it's a great start. Eventually I'm sure a better video will be posted on youtube/dailymotion. I see UT as being slightly taller, (see 2:50 mark) but it may be cuz of the angle/quality. Too close to call.
Da Man, I admire all your tenacity man on proving your point. I'm not sure I agree but here's where I stand:
In the RR video, I see UT as having 1" on Kane tops. Not more than that. At times it may appear it but I believe it's only because Kane has a slightly wider stance like Da Man pointed out. UT still has wide stance himself tho. Still, not as wide as Kane.
Click HereWhen Kane starts walking away, like in this shot, his feet must be closer together. He has the camera advantage but UT still looks slightly taller
Click HereI'm still not sure yet who's taller. There's too much evidence one way or the other. But I'm leaning way more towards them being the same height or Kane slightly shorter.
It makes more sense if you think about it. Why else would they have Jacobs wear lifts as Kane? They want to make him appear TALLER. They'd have to be really close in size to begin with in order for them to want to do that.

Nice find Danimal. I'd have to agree, either that's Festus or Kane is liftless and that shows the truth that Taker was always taller than Kane by an inch or so and probably still has about that on him. Today Kane has Taker by an inch usually but sometimes Kane and Taker appear to be almost exactly the same height and Kane wears the bigger boots. If you ask me, you put Taker and Kane face to face/measure and both are standing fully straight with great posture, Taker will have him by an inch - could be a hair more or less.

Click HereHere's that match between Undertaker and Glenn Jacobs from Smokey Mountain Wrestling 1995. The quality is crap (looks to be filmed by someone from the crowd). There's a good staredown at the beginning of the match, but due to the lack of close-ups there's no telling who's the taller of the two.
In that video from the Rumble, Kane is clearly staggering on his feat and therefore hardly has a good posture. If Taker is 2 inches taller than Kane, Kane must have worn some titanic lifts in order to be only 2 inches shorter than a peak Big Show (who wasn't wearing small footwear either).
Tuga, there's also a backstage segment between Goldust and The Rock and they virtually looked the same height. Maybe an inch advantage for Goldust.

Goldust in my opinion is clearly taller than 6'4, he edged 6'5 barry windham in a full body pic, 6'5 1/2 may be a safer estimate for him. Kane still had about 2 inches on goldust, maybe??:
Click HereHard to say, these backstage promos have always weird angles...
This also shows how Albert pulled a kane footware trick during his time...as albert was much closer to taker than kane is here in their infamious staredown, and nobody is going to convince me that albert is taller than kane...

WOW, When Undertaker helps up Kane (who is looking very thin and obviously wearing a wig under that mask he soon got rid of), they stood side by side and it was obvious that Kane had NO lifts that day because Taker had what appeared to be almost 2" on Kane. I am NOT exgarating. There are even scenes with Golddust from around this time backstage and Kane has only about 1" on Golddsut who was only about 6'4" in reality. Either this was NOT Glenn Jacobs, or without his lifts, he is MAX 6'6". Check it out for yourselves if you don't believe me. It's at exactly 5:22 in. Taker has 2-3" Kane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:

Here is a page with a guy who appears to be in the 5'11" region with a bunch of the WWE roster, most in street clothes: Click Here
Nice find, but don't you know who this guy, James J. Dillon is? He was a prominent figure in WCW in the mid 90's.

I'd say 6'5" - 6'6" for Test. He always stood up very well to Kane and Undertaker. He looks about 3" taller than The Rock who I put at 6'3" so 6'6" sounds right for Test and enough for him to exaggerate to 6'7".
Kamala I'm not sure about b/c he always wrestled barefoot but I would say 6'4" - 6'5" is right.
Derek said on 29/Dec/08
There appeared to be around 4 inches between Kamala and Undertaker in 1992. Undertaker was 6'8" then, and probably 6'9" in ring gear. That would put Kamala at 6'5" and he certainly was nothing under 6'4".

test doesn't look more than 6'4?? here he is with the rock and HBK on his debut

Drexyl said on 29/Dec/08
Test isn't 6,7", but he's definitely bigger than 6,4". I'd give him 6,6", maybe 6,5.5" at the lowest.
hs2008 said on 29/Dec/08
Yeah, Kamala was very tall. Even wrestling in his barefeet he never looked small. He's was probably 6'4" or perhaps a little more.
Ghost said on 29/Dec/08
Danimal says on 28/Dec/08
Kamala was both billed at 6'5" and 6'7". He used to fight barefoot like Jimmy Snuka. Kamala was a very tall man. I say he was a legit 6'4".
Actually, in the old promo vids shot in Jerry Lawler's backyard, the introduction mentioned Kamala as 6'9!

How tall was Kamala who fought the UT back in 92? Or was that the same Kamala from years before that?
In WWF and WCW Kamala always played by Jim Harris. I think he was around 6'4.
hs2008 said on 28/Dec/08
Danimal, ...................... I've posted soooooooo many picures on this site for over two years. In the last week I've posted about 20 pictures/videos including 10 on this page!
So get your facts straight!
I don't care how long you've been posting on this site or how much alleged credibility you have, stop being such a know-it-all! I'm not going to waste my time looking around several sites on the internet to post pictures & videos of Edge looking taller than 6'2.5" for others on this site to simply dismiss them like they normally do.

Test looks more than an inch taller than Edge there. There's a pic around somewhere where he stacks up very well to a 6,10" Kevin Nash.
I give Test 6,6".
Alex said on 27/Dec/08
Clay, I agree that Test is a legit 6'5. He was about 3 inches shorter than Kane and 2 inches shorter than UT. Rock I dont think is bare minimum 6'3. I'd give him 6'3 but not at the minimum though, just 6'3 I say he is.
Clay said on 26/Dec/08
Test is bare minimum 6'5, Rock is bare minimum 6'3.

Ola, it would be good to see HBK vs UT at WM 25 which may happen. Rock vs Austin is very unlikely to happen.
Danimal said on 26/Dec/08
hs2008 says on 24/Dec/08
There's loads of other pictures & videos of Edge with Test online & he's only about 1" shorter, but I'm not going to post them all! Have a look on YouTube etc.
Even if you straightened that particular pic up Edge isn't magically going to shrink 2". He's still only 1" shorter regardless!
Don't be LAZY. Post them. Some of us veteran's spent YEARS posting pics and vids to build out credibility on here. I know I did.
hs2008 said on 26/Dec/08
Lol, there should be an Edge page or an Orton page. They get lots of discussion on here.
Rock vs. Austin is never going to happen again unfortunately IMO. If Austin does wrestle at WM 25, which hopefully he will, I'd have him face either Triple H or Randy Orton. If I were WWE I'd save HBK vs. 'Taker until WM26 & have a streak vs. career match, then HBK can retire in style.

I met Kane & Taker years back. I was 14 and about 6ft 5in (i'm 6'9 now), and they were both same size, about 3 inches taller than me, Kane may have been a little taller

"Edge and The Rock would be the EXACT same height imo".
It would be very close, no doubt. I personally think Edge would slightly beat out Rock.
In fact, I think it's possible that The Rock would even edge out Edge. No pun intended ;)
Frank said on 24/Dec/08
Thats a bad angle to judge
hs2008 said on 24/Dec/08
Another Edge pic, this time with legit 6'5" Test:
Click HereHe's only about 1" shorter, so there's no way Edge is only 6'2.5". I suppose Test is MAX 6'4" now, lol. :D
hs2008 said on 24/Dec/08
If you compare Edge standing next to Orton & The Rock standing next to Orton then there's no way they'd be the same height IMO.
Rocky was 1"-1.5" shorter than Orton from what I remember, whereas there's only 0.5" either way between Orton & Edge like Clay says. Rocky would be about 1" shorter than Edge I would think.

Where are the pictures even of Edge registering an inch under Orton? From everything I've seen they're only .5 of an inch max apart (EITHER way!).

Edge could be as low as 6'2.5 at the lowest but I dont agree that its his max height. He's not 6'4 though because Orton is and Orton is an inch or so more than Edge.
What about Edge with Kennedy? Or Hogan? Edge can't be under 6'3.

edge could be 6'3.5...just look at him next to 6'0 christian cage. o and kingnick theres evidence of edge sporting flat converse shoes w/ batista and mvp outside of the ring
hs2008 said on 20/Dec/08
He could be flat 6'4" IMO, there's pics of him with a lady on MySpace (I've posted a link to the pics) who's 5'7", and she actually looks about that height, and he looks 6'4".
Clay said on 19/Dec/08
Has there even been a picture revealing a sub 6'3'' Edge? Doesnt exist.

edge was a good bit taller than ashton kutcher on raw, he is taller than hulk hogan here in 2002 Click Here
Edge is wearing some gigantic footwear there. Those boots make the ones from Kane look small.
That's the thing with Edge, he does where big footwear a lot outside of the ring plus he's rail thin, which gives him the illusion of being taller. If I were to look at him at first glance I would guess 6'4" easy.
Da Man said on 19/Dec/08
WTF, Edge had some platform shoes on! Those probably really did add a legit 2+" over barefoot height.

Ola. I've posted several pictures of Edge with 2" on Triple H not 0'5". They always seem to get ignored.
I've also posted pictures of Edge in street clothes with Hulk Hogan. One from 2002, when they're both in sneakers & the other from 2006 with Hogan in sneakers & Edge in dress shoes. Edge looks taller than Hogan in both, so how he's under 6'3.5" I have no idea.

Actually I think Edge is 6'3, lowest possible would be 6'2.5. Most on here will put Edge 6'3ish anyway. Viper actually believed he was more 6'2 and no more.

Here's something interesting. For what it's worth, here's a match between Undertaker and Kane from Smackdown 4/4/08; watch from 5:20-5:28; Michael Cole says "Kane outweighing his brother by just a bit, Undertaker just a little bit taller." This could in fact very well be true IMO. I wonder if Cole came up with that himself or if it was McMahon or someone else saying that in to his headphones for him to say? Very interesting though considering Kane is billed taller. I always thought and still do think Taker is taller than Kane by a little bit. Anyway, here's the video:

6'2.5" MAX for Edge.
That makes no sense to me. How do you explain him towering Kennedy and looking MAX 1 inch shorter than Orton.
For once I agree with Ola.
hs2008 said on 18/Dec/08
If Edge is MAX 6'2.5" Triple H & Mick Foley are struggling with 6'0". PLEASE!
Click HereClick HereClick HereClick HereAlso, with Matt Hardy, who was the same height as Evander Holyfield:
Click HereHe's also the same height as Tomko in streets, who's billed at 6'6" so I highly doubt is 6'2".

Orton has always looked taller than Edge. In boots Orton is probably close to 6,4.5" and Edge is probably just a shade under 6,4".
Alex said on 15/Dec/08
I think when you're more 6'4-6'5 and up is when you will almost never see guys try to inflate. Believe it or not but in the 6'1-6'3 range guys will still try to lie a bit. I know a kid who is 6'3 and he claims 6'5. I didnt measure him but I did no way feel 5 inches shorter.
KingNick said on 15/Dec/08
I posted these a while back but I guess no one looked at them. These are photos of Edge with Orton, who I dare say the majority agree is a legit 6'4"

Clay said on 15/Dec/08
Actually from what I've seen 6'2/6'3 guys dont lie about their height as they have no reason to.
hs2008 said on 15/Dec/08
In Edge's book, he says he grew from 5'9" to 6'2" at 16 & over the next few years he grew to 6'4" & 200lbs. He also describes himself as 6'5" & 225lbs. He's NEVER said he's 6'2" as an adult.
Alex said on 13/Dec/08
Viper, I agree. You will have a lot of guys 6'2-6'3 claiming 6'4. But when you're 6'2-6'3 you can get away with 6'4 most of the time.
dave said on 13/Dec/08
viper..... edge is not 6'2...... he is 6'3 at least, theres ALOT of evidence to suggest this..... i see NO evidence to support a 6'2 claim, none.... at all!.... he said he was 6'2 at 16 (yes we all watched wwe confidential...)... he NEVER said he was 6'2 nowadays, and if he did, lets see it!!!!!!....
lastly, IF edge is 6'2, that makes jeff about 5'10-5'11 MAX.... and i met jeff hardy, and as a 6'1 barefoot guy we were eye level, only i believe my forehead to be taller than his.... anyways, i have never met edge unfortunatley.. but he looks AT LEAST 3 inches taller than a 6' jeff at ALL times, and often more. besides, brett recently had a pic taken with rob, check his celebheights page, even today the man is at leasta clean 6', and remember his posture is horrible in the pic.

6-2 guys get quoted as saying they are 6-4 a lot.
Danimal said on 12/Dec/08
OH YES Bret Hart was billed at 5'11" in the WWF until the very early 1980's and so was Davey Boy Smith AND Shawn Michaels. They were ALL billed at 5'11" KIDDIES up until the very early 1990's, at which point Vince added 2" to ALL of their billed heights and then added 2" MORE to Davey Boy Smith, putting him up to 6'3", when in reality he was only 5'9". Both HBK and Bret Hart were NEVER taller than 5'11".
Danimal said on 12/Dec/08

bret hart was never listed at 5'11 by a wrestling company, magazine maybe but never a wrestling company
edge said he was 6'2-6'3 at 16 in an interview, of course you failed to mention the 16 part; his ex wife said he was 6'4, if he was 6'2 she sure as hell would have said it

Edge has 2" on Triple H & Mick Foley, 3" on Jeff Hardy, about 4" on Mr Kennedy, he's about the same height as Randy Orton & Tyson Tomko & yet he's still struggling with 6'3" with some people!
