IMO Edge isn't more than 6'3. Far as his weight we may be underestimating him since he may look less next to these bigger guys. Edge is probably around 220lbs, maybe 225lbs max.

That makes Sid 6'7-6'7 1/2 since UT had 1/2 inch on him. UT could have very well been 6'8 at his peak.

For some reason people just want Edge shorter, LOL. He's genuinely a tall guy and surely around 6'4''. And look at the size of his forearms compared to Kennedy's I think we have all underestimated his weight as well.

Here's sort of an updated height list of mine, haven't done this in a while:
KingNick - 5'10.5"
HBK - 5'11.5" (6'0.5" peak. Claimed 6'1", 215lbs in his autobiography. Also claimed to have weighed about 240lb early in his career)
Bret Hart - 6'
Stone Cold - 6'1"
HHH - 6'2"
Mick Foley - 6'2.5"
Batista - 6'3"
Edge - 6'3"
Orton - 6'4"
Jake The Snake - 6'5"
JBL - 6'6"
Viscera - 6'6"
Sid - 6'7.5"
Kane - 6'8" (I've been flip flopping with his height I'm even leaning towards 6'7.5" now. But for now I'm sticking with this)
Matt M-M-M-Morgan - 6'9"
Nathan Jones - 6'10"
Andre the Giant - 6'11" peak, 6'10" at passing (still not sure about him)
Big Show - 6'11" (7' peak)
Khali - 7'1"
Giant Gonzalez - 7'7"
All of these are barefoot estimates and I'm very open to giving or taking away an inch.

I don't get how people see a noticable difference in height between Edge and Orton.
I think Edge is 6'3,5. He never looks anything under 6'3, usually more like 6'4.
Orton is probably 6'4, he wasn't taller than an old, broken down Jake Roberts.
If there's evidence that Edge is an inch or more shorter than Orton, please present it.
Hogan was noticeable taller than Edge when they both stood straight after their match. I give Edge somewhere between 6'2" and 6'3". No way is he taller than 6'3". He's probably the exact same height as The Rock imo.

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.

Here's a good shot of Evolution. From HHH down I'm thinking 6'2", 6'3", and 6'4". Flair looks only 5'10" or 5'11" here.

B_rad87, nice estimates.
hs2008, good pics. The only thing with Edge though is I noticed he likes to wear large footwear when he's not in wrestling gear. His feet are cut off in all the photos so I'm not sure if he was or not. Still, I don't see him less than 6'3" either. IMO, Edge 6'3" and Orton 6'4".
Jeff around 6'1" sounds right, maybe even 6'. I know Matt claims 6'2" but I see him as more 6'1". He and his brother are about the same height.

I don't think Batista is just under 6'3", I think he about 6'3.5", Edge 6'4", Orton could be 6'4.75" but only if he has some kind of internal lifts which I doubt. Being around wrestlers sometimes you can be surprised how tall they really are. The camera shortens them a bit.
Random example, Al Snow is an easy 6'1" based on my own personal estimation (comparing him side by side to a personal friend who is 6'). To show how oddly guys can be billed, Snow has been 6', 6'1" and 6'2'.

If Randy Orton is 6'5 then Edge is atleast 6'4,5. They always practically the same height.
Orton is probably 6'4.
Batista's billing recently increased from 6'5 to 6'6. The evidence suggests he is just under 6'3. As Leviathan he was 6'7. It's crazy.

Let me give you another example, Shad of Cryme Tyme is billed as 6'7" Click Here I think that's accurate. Have you seen this guy? He's enormous! I wish I could find a pic of him from Survivor Series but he matched up pretty well to Khali, like UT and Kane did. I don't think his billings are exaggarated because he's in a tag team and a less important storyline. I'll bet you anything though that if/when he goes up on his own his billing will jump to 6'8"or 6'9".

KingNick said on 2/Dec/08
With the billings, I think it really just depends on the person/character. Like everyone pointed out, Viscera's billings were all over the place. Orton's billing IMO is dead on to his real height yet you got guys like Andre the Giant and Kane who were exaggerated numerous inches.
What I'm saying is I don't think there's a set rule to wrestler's heights and weights being billed. Are most exaggerated? Certainly. I'd say at least 95%. But there are guys like Orton that slip through the cracks, even Viscera at one point. I think it depends on the character, the person, and probably the storyline.

JT, I do agree there's a 5" difference between UT and Khali. I'm not sure how tall you think both are, but I believe Khali to be a strong 7'1", which would put Undertaker at 6'8".
I agree with you Frank also about UT pointing his head down to Adams. UT does that with everyone shorter than him, which is about 95% of his opponents. UT also wore shoes nearly flat during that era. I also think Adams might have been closer to 6'6" than 6'5".

Taker is about 2" - 2.25" taller than JBL, an inch taller than Sid. JBL I believe to be no shorter than 6'6". Also, Taker does not have a puffy haired mullet in that pic with Sid/Sid with JBL comparison, Sid has the mullet I believe you mean. Taker's Hair is as close to his scalp as it can be laying right on top of it. The pics with Lesnar are not clean comparisons, he could be more than 6" taller than him with even head levels but looks as low as 5" with the head tilts creating an illusion. Taker's eyes are actually about Lesnar's head level in a clean comparison. If you watch them in match Taker is significantly taller than him.

Kane is not taller than Taker, it is purely a footwear issue. Undertaker below 6'7" is preposterous, even under 6'8" is silly since so many people base his height on eye level and correctable posture (his posture is gimmicked), aside from that his head is probably 11" tall so there's about 5.5" from his eyes up. Never once in his career has he been listed below 6'8" anywhere and that was rare, even in arbitrary listings for PWI who list many wrestlers incorrectly, He's mostly listed at 6'9" if he wasn't listed 6'10.5" He refers to himself - "He's about 6 foot 8, 6'9." talking about someone calling WCW to have him replace Sid. It should also be noted that in the same interview Kane uses his kayfabe bill of 6'10" - 6'11" and JR uses the more odd bill of "6'9", 6'10". Here we have 6'7" - 6'8" and some people are now saying 6'6 - 6'7". I think the guy in the middle is right.

That's a good comparison picture to see just how massive Undertaker's forehead is. Brock has a large head, and look at the difference. Their eyes are only around 1" apart yet taker's head rises close to 4" higher.

I'd liek to see another pic of Taker Lesnar staredown. That one below looks like the one where Lesnar just ran in to the ring and stops suddenly in front of Taker. Taker has an easy 5" on Lesnar and actually probably more like 6" and Lesnar is a strong 6'2" IMO.

Undertaker's forehead really is huge. It's easy to under estimate his height because of it.

Alex, do you think khali and shaq are 6'11 1/2 and kane 6'6 1/2? You do realise that your estimates on taker also downgrades others...
Comparing big men with much shorter men will make the difference look smaller because they will be slouching or looking down, that unless you

UT looks 6'6 1/2-6'7 here with 6'2 Lesnar. UT does have a big forehead and his eye level I would say is 5-5.5 inches from the top of his head and Lesnar would be slightly above his eye level if their heads were level and not titled up or down like in this picture.

I think he is 6'7.5 - 6'7.75 today. Maybe 1 inch taller way back eg 12 and 15 years ago. Probably 6'8 in the early 2000's.

There is no way Taker is under 6'7 today.
That would make things crazy.
Big Show would become about 6'10 and Khali would be under 7 feet as well, which he certainly isn't compared to 7'1 Shaq.

Undertaker is 43 as Vegas has pointed out.
The man himself said he had "a couple of years" before he was 40 in 2003. Whoever said he was 46 or 47 is plain wrong. I also don't see any major height loss at all.

There is not a single, solitary frame with which to compare height in the video you posted. Th Khali/Kane pic I posted was a horrible angle (and intended as semi-joke) but it actually offered a better comparison than anything in the video you continually post and re-post to show the two at the same height. Your evidence sucks, as usual.

Hey JT iv been looking for those pictures thanks. Here the case here, The undertaker does have a looking down slouch in those comparisons, if he stood as straight as brock he would have maximum 5 inches on him. The fact is is that the undertaker is 5 inches taller than brock is. It makes sense, if brock is 6'2 then taker is 6'7, if he is 6'2.5 which is very likely then he is 6'7.5

Why would Taker lose height hes about 43 years old !!!
Frank Frank Frank. It surprises me that you would ask such a question after having been on here for all these years. Taker has been wrestling professionally for 20 years. Do you realize the abuse this man has put on his body and of course the surgeries required to mend it, ie: neck, back, knee. BTW, I read he is 47. I say it is possible that he has lost up to 2" since the 1990's, but at the very least he has lost 1" since 2000.

I would love to see the Smokey Mountain match they had if anyone can find that by some miracle.
Before Jacobs came up to WWF(E) as Isaac Yankem, he was wrestling for an Independent company called Smokey Mountain Wrestling. UT went down there and had a match with him, it was covered in Pro Wrestling Illustrated. I just wonder if they had a better staredown with a better angle then their WWF/E matches.

I believe that at your respective peaks, Kane had an inch on Taker. Kane at 6'8.5" and Taker at 6'8". The fact that they look the same height today is strange, seeing I believe that Taker has lost height.

Of course it's hard to tell who's taller there, there's not a single solitary frame in that video with which to compare height. The only frame worth a darn is when Taker walks up to Kane after Kane blows the torches, but the catch there is Kane has his feet like 3 feet apart. Videos like that can make it hard to tell if Taker is taller than Orton! LOL

I'm open to Taker being taller than Kane, but not by an inch and a half or anywhere near it.
Barefoot I'd imagine them to be within 1/4 of an inch of each other. Yes, Kane's always had a footwear advantage, but he's always looked an inch or so taller.

Kane has a relatively low eye level and a pointy head himself. Maybe not the extreme degree Taker does, but he doesn't have a small head above the eyes like Sid does by any stretch.
I've yet to see a single shred of evidence that indicates Kane is shorter than Taker barefoot. All the evidence presented has made an extremely poor case for that.

Taker has not lost any height, if anyone has lost height it's Kane. I don't see how any could look at those pics and say Kane is taller. I mean, the one pic he looks clearly shorter than Taker and the other pic you'd have to compensate for Taker's posture/head lean and the fact that Kane's got about .5" boot advantage. Taker is taller than Kane beyond the shadow of a doubt barefoot.
I gotta agree man. Kane clearly has bigger footwear in those pics below and they look about the same height. I really don't know with him anymore.

280 sounds right, but IMO, Taker looks in better shape now than he did at any point in his career.

he heels and on show and khalis boots are almost identical Click Here
the heels on shows and kurt angles boots were identical, i suppose he is wearing huge lifts now too lol Click Here
Cool pics btw but look at Shows heels with Angle and notice how his heel is flat. Where as in the other pic with Khali, his heel is pushed up, almost like halfway tippy toes!

Taker has lost weight but I don't really see much difference in height from his earlier days. Even though he's lost some weight, he's still huge. He was probably around 330 lbs. during most of his earlier career and I'd say up until 2002-2003 around there. Now he's probably around 285-290 lbs. but he looks in great shape nowadays and sometimes he looks bulkier and close to 300lbs.
I would say 310 lbs for most of his career personally. And 280 right now

I think Taker gives the impression of being a smaller man these days because he's a lot thinner than he used to be. When he locks up with the likes of Randy Orton and Edge, he really doesn't look that much thicker than them at all, so it's easy to be fooled into thinking he's not much bigger than they are.
Just watch how well he stacks up to The Big Show and Khali though. He still looks a solid 6,8".

Then that makes Monsoon what 6'1 1/2 or something. Thats not right.
No it doesn't. Monsoon was probably closer to 6'3 in his older years, since he was shorter than King kong Bundy and very close in height with 6'2 Vader. Ventura also wore big boots and appeared the same height with Monsoon. That makes me wonder if Ventura was actually closer to 6'2.
Vader was minimum 6'3" and Monsoon was still every bit 6'4"+ in the mid-late 1990's. Watch the 1997 Slammy Awards and watch Sid standing right next to Monsoon (BOTH in tuxedos) and Sid having 2-3" on Monsoon MAX. Watch a backstage footage of Monsoon throwing Stone Cold out of the building and Monsoon having at least 4" on Stone Cold. Christ, Stone Cold had to stand on his tip toes to try and come close to an old and sick Monsoon. Watch Monsoon have 2" MINIMUM on 6'3" Muhammed Ali in the 1970's and minimum 4" on Vince in the subsequent interview. He was the same height as a 6'3"-6'4" Ventura who wore high heeled shoes.
PEAK - 6'5"
Old Age - 6'4"

Shock Of Electric: it is hard to pin a height on Koslov. I would like to see him with Orton since Orton is around 6'4" or even with Batista who is probably 6'3" and change IMO; Orton looks just a little taller than Batista. But both those men are taller than HHH which is why I lean more towards 6'2" for HHH; but HHH could be 6'2" and a little change. I'll stick around 6'3" for Koslov for now but he could very well be a little taller. I would think Koslov and Batista could be around the same height. Undertaker just looked to tower Koslov considerably but you never know; though Koslov's boots are chunky so I'll stick with around 6'3" but he could be 6'4" in boots or a bit more.

There are a lot of issues trying to figure out Kozlov's height based on comparison with Trips because this site puts him at 6'2" and he could very well be closer to 6'3" than 6'2". I think Koz is just around 6'4".
As for Big Show vs Khali boots, Big Show's boots are thicker. The Angle Big Show comparison is based on perception. Big Show's feet in general are signficantly bigger than Angle's and Kurt's soles blend in with the ring there making them look slightly thicker than they really are. Not only that but Angle's foot is creeping up off the mat changing the angle of the back of the heel compared to the toe. Based on layered boot soles, Big Show's do only have about 1/4" on Angle's there, thus being 1.25" and 1.5" boots which are signficantly thicker than boots were in say, the 80's and early 90's. Those are also thicker boots than the little black boots Angle wore later on. Heels of 1.25" are pretty much the standard now, vs .75" being the standard up until around 1995, and even Andre the Giant wore paper thin boots back in the day. The sort of condescending tone that Angle would never wear "huge" lifts is unnecessary as he obvious is wearing thicker than average boots compared to some era of wrestling.

Yeah, I agree Big Show. I remember watching that staredown and thinking huh, Koslov in his gear is pretty much the same height as HHH. Koslov's boots do look chunky too. Judging by that, I'd have to say Koslov is 6'2" and probably change. Though his head is down and his legs look spread decently but still I don't think I'd go over 6'3" for him unless I see something that changes that. KingNick, sometimes it is easy to forget how large Undertaker really is.

How tall do you think Vladmir Koslov is? 6'3"? Undertaker pretty much towered over him on Smackdown last week; had him by a considerable amount. I thought Koslov would stack up better and was actually a little surprised when Undertaker looked so large/tall compared to him - then again, I wasn't since Undertaker is huge. Here's parts 1 $2 of the match if anyone wants to take a look:
Frankly, I wasn't surprised that Taker would tower over Kozlov. We've been discussing Kozlov on the Triple H board for a few weeks now. Some still claim Kozlov is 6'4-6'5 even though he's barely taller than Triple H. If you've seen the staredowns from Smackdown, Kozlov is only a fraction taller than Triple and he probably has a footwear advantage aswell, because Triple H is in very thin dressing shoes there, while Kozlov is in his wrestling boots.

Ventura is a strange one. He looked around the same height as Dibiasi and in cowboy boots he was around the same height as Monsoon. So based on that I would say he's around 6'3.
On WWE.com he's been listed as 6'2, so based on that I would say he ain't taller than that.
But back in 1999 when he was going to be the guest referee at Summerslam, he also appeared on Smackdown shortly before Summerslam and looked easily an inch or two taller than Triple H. I can post the video of that online if someone cares.

I remember somewhat recently Big Show was mentioned as 7'5 on WWE.com.
No, Tazz said that Big Show was 7'0" 500 pounds. He said it quickly so that it sounded like 7'5". I thought the same thing at the time. Remember, Big Show as The Giant was billed at 7'4" in the WCW and actually looked to be a legit 7'1"-7'2" man then (mid-late 90's). Personally, I believe he was a full 7'1" up until 1999 and has since gone down to 7'0", or just under due to horrible posture and perhaps some surgery.
No, it was an article hyping a match of his, so it was in written form not spoken. They also described Kane and Khali as "Both over 7 feet tall" at wwe.com before their wrestlemania match.

No, Tazz said that Big Show was 7'0" 500 pounds. He said it quickly so that it sounded like 7'5". I thought the same thing at the time. Remember, Big Show as The Giant was billed at 7'4" in the WCW and actually looked to be a legit 7'1"-7'2" man then (mid-late 90's). Personally, I believe he was a full 7'1" up until 1999 and has since gone down to 7'0", or just under due to horrible posture and perhaps some surgery.

And JT, Kurt Angle was billed 6'2" and is only around 5'10" I don't think it's weird at all if he has a bit of a boost in his shoe.

Taker is still 6'8" minimum, he looked it next to 6'6" albert who had a clear 1.5" over barefoot gain in those mad boots he had on. Taker had 0.5" flats on. this would mean around an inch of actual difference even though it appears 1/2" difference ( which looks tiny compared to two giants ) id say in the famous Albert/Taker staredown, Albert was standing 6'7.5" in boots and taker was 6'8.5" but with lean on taker he appeared 6'8". Thus giving the 1/2" difference. id say he was actually 6'8.5" peak. How did the 6'7.5" figure arise and is there any evidence outwith the Albert pic ????

Yea, there's really very little difference between them footwear wise. No way is Show getting anything close to a 1" advantage over Khali from footwear.
I think it was JT who noticed that one of Show's boots may even have a thicker heel than the other to account for some sort of leg length discrepency.

Big Show is close to 2" shorter than Khali. His boots are lifts, Khali's are normal. Big Show is probably just under 7', maybe as much under and Khali is over.
King Nick, I have never worked for JAPW, I did a show in Point Pleasant/Seaside Heights for NWA in 2001, lots of ECW names on that show, almost all of them dead. =(

Big Show actually looks very very close to Khali's height in that photo. Show's eyeline is lower but his forehead is much longer.
I still maintain that there is at the MOST an inch between the two.

big show was first billed at 7'1 by the wwe, his first billing came on the monday night raw dated 15 february 1999 straight after the ppv where he made his debut Valentine's Day Massacre, vince introduces him as guest ref for the wrestlemania title match and michael cole describes him as 7'1
You're correct about Michael Cole referring to him as 7'1, but his official billing was 7', 500 lbs (A week later Michael Cole referred to him as such). I wouldn't hold much value to what WWE announcers bill the wrestlers at. They often don't stick to the billings.
Here's a picture of his bio as listed on the Wrestlemania XV dvd.

Tuga, if I remember correctly Big Show wasn't billed 7'2 until he started feuding with the likes of Kane and Undertaker.

Big Show, I agree. Maybe 1/2 inch loss, but not 1-2 inches like some are saying. With his weight increase and posture that can make him appear a little shorter.
Big Show would stack up against Shaq the same way he does against Khali. An inch shorter.

Hey guys so here's what I'm talking about with the Big Show possibly losing around 1" of height.
Here's Show and Khali from the SNME a few years ago: Click Here
The pic is small, but if you were to watch the video: Click Here (pause at about the 4 sec mark) the image is a little bigger.
If Show were to stand straight, I think there'd be .5" difference there. But he has bigger footwear if you look.
Here's a current staredown between the the two with what looks like a 1" difference: Click Here
And here's Big Show's shoes: Click Here (see pic 42)
If Khali's 7'1", Show's shoes has to give him about 1.5" advantage. So if he's 6'11" barefoot, his shoes would make him 7'1.5". Khali's probably make him just under 7'2" (see pic 9)
In the old SNME staredown, I think Show was only .5" away but with bigger footwear.
7' peak (SNME), 6'11" current (current staredowns) my opinion.

Click Here This was the tallest that Big Show ever looked next to Undertaker. And he isn't even wearing his big boots there.
What are your estimates on both?
Big Show was billed 7 foot from the get-go in the WWE, so I don't think he was ever taller than that. If he wanted to, his posture was perfect at the time and he didn't have any surgeries which would've made him shrink.
I don't think Undertaker is any taller than 6'7 tops today, but I'm open to the possibility that he might've been a little taller than that in the late 90's.
Big Show looks shorter now, because his posture has become worse. It looks as if he can't straighten his back to its full extent anymore, which might've resulted into an actual height loss. But we're talking about maybe 0.5" here, I don't buy a 1-2 inch height loss for Big Show.

King Nick, just a little FYI, I've wrestled at Seaside Heights before, and I agree with Lawler 5'10" and Bundy nearly 6'4" (met him a couple times).
No way, really?? Was it for JAPW? I went to a summer show in 2002 I believe it was. Jerry Lawler fought Steve Corino and the main event was a multi tag team hardcore match.

Taker is not wearing lifts of any kind in the Ministry of Darkness era pics, in fact his boots are thinner than just about anyone else's. I can't believe I just saw another picture where a person's heel was sliced in half in effort to say they were wearing lifts. Taker's boots were .75" during that time. Big Show's are 1.5" generally for his lifts which he still wears now and wore from time to time them. What I don't understand is how people put Taker at such a big difference when he clearly has a boot disadvantage. Basically anyone who says Taker is 6'7" based on the assumption he's wearing lifts should really accept the fact that you need to deduct that from the other person and not him, either bringing them down an inch or Taker up one. Big Show is currently no more than 3" taller than Taker today and possibly was 4" taller at some point. Again, footwear advantage has always been to Big Show. Big Show I believe to be not much more than 6'11" right now. Big Show at 7', Kane at 6'8" and then Taker at 6'7.5 is succumbing to the illusion of bill differences mixed with footwear discrepencies.

My personal opinion is that the average wrestling shoe gives about .75" extra in height. So I'd be willing to believe that UT's boots during that era gave him a full 1" boost and that would make that staredown accurate.
Here's my list of big men:
Kane: 6'8" (up to 6'10.5" in boots)
UT 6'8" (I think it's possible he's 6'7" now but I still think he's 6'8")
Show: 7' peak, 6'11" current
Khali: 7'1"

And don't get me wrong, I certainly think Show is WAY taller than Undertaker. At least 7' during the ministry era, 6'11" now, I just think UT appears much taller next to guys like Show, Khali, and even Gonzalez b/c they force him to stand up straight.

Or it could be UT is in lifts when facing Big Show. Wouldn't suprise me. I think even back then in 1999 he wore lifts to stack up that close to Big Show in height.
Big Show mostly slouched when he was around Undertaker. Look at this vid from 1999. Look at 3:40 and further. Big Show's posture is horrible, he's completely leaning forward. Yet he's still around 3 inches taller than Taker. No footwear advantage either for Big Show as he's in dress shoes there.

The thing is at rare times when UT finds someone taller than himself, like Big Show and Khali, he actually stands up straight. I think that's where the lift myth came from with him. When he stares down shorter guys he always bends his head down where as someone like Sid always keeps a good posture no matter who he stares down with.

Kane has about a half in advantage in footwear, pause at 2:40 and they look to be about the same height , this is actually a good vid of them staring one another downm kane may have a half inch on him (footwear), these guys are the same height . They most likely are really 6'7.5 today after the averages of all the evidence given.

A 6'6 taker today makes big show perhaps not even 6'10, khali max 6'11.
A 6'7 peak taker makes sid 6'6, hogan 6'4, nash 6'8 1/2.
While some might be dubious, nash is a GREAT reference, he has pics with huge basketball players foe example so we know he was no way less than 6'10, big show compared to nash was 7'1 peak, today 7', khali is at least 7'1.
Taker still stacks up very well to show TODAY, so 6'6 is out of the question, well, even 6'7 is...
By the way, crush was also billed 6'8 and had to be above 6'5 comparing to hogan or even nash unless you bring those 2 heights down also...

Big Show, sorry bud I don't necessarily agree, but then again, maybe you and I aren't disagreeing as much as I think. You mentioned you thought UT was 1"-2" taller than Viscera. How tall do you think UT is?
Nowadays I would put Undertaker at 6'7. He might be a little taller than that in the 90's, seeing how close he was in height to Kevin Nash (whom I don't think was anything below 6'9.5).

Crush was billed at 6'6" and 6'7" in the early 1990's, so he was NOT his billed height. He was 6'4"-6'5".
Albert was billed at 6'7" and 6'8", so he wasn't taller than his billed height when in boots. SO much overbilling here lately.
Again, Crush was 6'4"-6'5" and Albert was 6'5"-6'6" imo. Taker was in the 6'7" and change region in his respective prime and today he is 6'6"-6'6.5".

Shock of Electric, I've actually never had the pleasure of working at an Indy show, I've just been to many of them as a fan. I love them sometimes better than going to a WWE event. You're always right by the ring and you get to see everything up close.
I went to one show at Seaside Heights where Jerry Lawler actually shook my hand (he appeared to be 5'10" btw). I also met Iron Sheik, he was sitting down though, and King Kong Bundy. I got an autograph from him too, he appeared 6'4" to me (I have a 6'4" uncle). Overall, just great experiences.

My opinion: Albert 6'6" barefoot, 6'8.5" in those boots. Taker 6'8" barefoot, 6'8.75" in his boot.
KingNick I don't think those boots give Albert a 2.5" height boost. That's twice as much as the boost that Big Show's boots give (which many claim are some huge boots) and equal to some very chunky cowboy boots.
In Albert's match with 6'8 Akebono, he was wearing larger boots than in his match with UT. Click Here
Those boots clearly have internal lifts, and you can see by comparing their knee heights, that Albert has a huge footwear advantage, yet he's still shorter than Akebono, who's boots probably don't give him more than a 0.5" height boost which would make him 6'8.5 in boots.
Shock of Electric, we've been trough Albert's height before. He's been listed as 6'6 in College Football and while wrestling as Giant Bernard in Japan, he was billed at 198 cm (the equivalent of 6'6), and the Japanese don't bill giants below their actual height. They exaggerate heights even more than the WWE does.
As for Crush, since a few weeks he has his own board under his real name Brian Adams. Most put him at 6'5.

That's a really cool video. Undertaker's definitely got an inch and a half on Viscera there, and he looks like he stacks up very well to Big Show too.
It's interesting to see how athletic Big Show was back then as well. I couldn't imagine him jumping over the top rope like that nowadays.

Alex, there is no way that Kane is an inch taller than Undertaker today. It's completely impossible. By 2001 with the gear change he wasn't more than .5" taller than Taker and he still had footwear advantage. If either of them has lost height, it's Kane. He carries more weight on average over the course of his career, more muscle, etc, and Kane's posture has gotten poor, not a gimmicked posture like Taker has built into his gimmick, his actual posture. If Taker and Kane were to have swapped boots in the late 90s for an angle (like when Taker dressed up as Kane and Kane dressed up as Taker at different times) you would see the exact same height difference in reverse.
Undertaker is more noticably taller than Crush and Clarke during the Kronik feud I believe due to Taker possibly having different footwear. Crush 2" shorter than Taker in '93 is not out of the question. I also believe Crush at being as high as 6'6.5" back then, Clarke 6'6.25."
Albert confirmed to wear lifts from time to time, and I also believe his height is slightly underestimated, he could be a mid 6'6" and regardless of any football stats and Taker has 1" on him in the staredown. It's interesting because, say Taker is 6'7.5", then Albert MUST be a mid 6'6" and not a flat 6'6."
Jake Roberts somewhere in the 6'5" area, and his lifts during his 91-92 heel run, also during his 96 return, very big lifts lifts, approximately 2", possibly 1.75". This can easily make him appear 2" shorter than Taker which he did at times. I don't think there is any disputing Jake being at least 6'5". Taker had about 2" on Roberts at times, and 3" or more on Orton easily. This obviously, due to Jake's lifts.
From the few mentionings I've seen recently on here, Taker below 6'7.5" is basically a complete insult.
King Nick, what do you do in the indies and where abouts are you? I work indy shows in NJ mostly. Sid is a good example of someone I've met whom I feel is unfairly docked on here, granted I met him in 1998.

Sorry Big Show. Much respect for you here but I just disagree. I think Albert clearly has an advantage on those boots, look at the heel. Plus also Albert was getting a push at the time, it was right around when he won the IC belt. They probably wanted him to appear as large as 'Taker IMO. Here's another look, look under the bottom rope you can tell Click Here and Click Here
UT does have a very slight height advantage IMO too Click Here I'm talking no more than .25" though.
My opinion: Albert 6'6" barefoot, 6'8.5" in those boots. Taker 6'8" barefoot, 6'8.75" in his boot.

Albert looks to have internal help in his boots. His boots as well as his entire body look like he's slanted. Taker still has him by around an inch in that photo and I'm sure camera angle comes in to play as well. It's not a dead center shot. Taker looked large and tall compared to HHH last night on SD. He is also stacking up quite well to Big Show today as well.

we've been through these staredowns a bunch of times between Albert and Roberts. Both wore tremendously huge shoes to match up to UT. I've pointed it out each time and if anyone cares to post the photos again I'll be glad to point it out again. And IMO he had about 2" on Crush who I believe to be a legit 6'6".
We've been through the staredown between Albert and UT more often than I can remember. But in my opinion it's some strong evidence that Taker was no 6'8 in 2001. Albert was not wearing gigantic boots there. Click Here
The heel of his boots might give him a 1-inch height boost, but no more than that. Big Show wore boots with larger soles than that and his boots only gave him a 1.25" height boost. Kane's boot soles were like twice as big as those of Albert's.
UT wasn't barefoot there either. His boots have a noticable heel there too.
And there was nothing wrong with UT posture either. Click Here
His knees aren't buckled, his back isn't leaning forward or anything and his neck isn't bending either.

I agree, taker never looked below 6'8 next to big men like khali, nathan jones, kevin nash etc etc, even today he stacks up well next to big show.
A 6'6 1/2 taker would make hogan around 6'2 in 2002 which is nonsense as hogan still had minimum 6'3 rock by one inch at the time.
The point is that footware plays a big role sometimes, just see what it did for kane...

Please, Taker NEVER stands as straight as he can when he faced off with shorter guys, like Albert. So I wouldnt put any stock in that. When you see him standing straight, he checks in at 6'7.5-6'8.

M.org is right Kane and Taker are genuinely really tall dudes its not a kayfabe like Batista and Kozlov. They're both 6'7.5-6'8.5. Alex, we've seen NOTHING to suggest Taker has lost height and is 6'7 max now. Where do you get that from? I've only seen one bit where he did and it was a horrible camera angle (that video where he got jumped by Big Show and Khali backstage). lol.
Watch the staredown of Taker and Albert from 2001. UT only had 6'6 TOPS Albert by 0.5" (Albert might have a 0.5" footwear advantage though). That would put UT at 6'7 in 2001.
In coming weeks I expect to receive all Heat episodes from 1999. I'd like to see how Taker stacked up to Kurrgan, whom he faced somewhere during that period.

Just an interesting tidbit for you guys and something you may find interesting, I've met quite a few wrestlers who work the Indy circuit. One guy I worked with last year is 6'8". LEGIT, I worked with him. I asked him about if the Indy wrestlers exaggerate heights and he said that his height was always measured in his wrestling boots and that he was billed anywhere from 6'9"-6'10" depending on the promoter. He also said he met Big Show in person and Show was an easy 7' in his opinion.

I asked him about if the Indy wrestlers exaggerate heights and he said that his height was always measured in his wrestling boots and that he was billed anywhere from 6'9"-6'10" depending on the promoter. He also said he met Big Show in person and Show was an easy 7' in his opinion.

Jacob i am 46 and im older than him and i dont believe knee surgury makes you shrink?? Maybe your spine can do so
They don't! Read any article on the causes of height loss. They all refer to surgeries to the spine and neck for possible height loss as well as poor posture. Knee surgeries don't make you shrink in a direct way.
The only way that knee surgery can affect your height is in an indirect way. It could affect your posture, which would lead to height loss. However, there looks to be nothing wrong with Taker's posture. He can still stretch his knees.

I remember when Michael Cole referred to Kane as being heavier but shorter than Undertaker as well. It really made me laugh. They spend years trying to tell us that Kane is taller than Taker and then Michael Cole comes along and says the complete opposite.

If you go by the top of Taker's mask and Glen's hair in the picture with Yankem, Yankem looks taller, but Taker's forehead still has a couple inches above the maskline. Kane's largest boots were in 1997 to '99, during the same time Taker wore his thinnest boots because they were really pushing the 7' bill for Kane and they were with each other so often.
Here is an example of what flip flopping footwear advantage will do.
Click Here
In the first pic, Kane is wearing supers (possibly 2"), and Big Show is wearing relatively normal boots, around a 1.25". In the second pic, Big Show's boots are closer to 1.75" and Kane's 1.5", and all of this adds up to that extra 1" difference you see in the more recent pic. If you only see .75" difference extra, then perhaps their boots are just about even in terms of lift. Big Show's are hard to pin due to the width of his boots.
Kane today though is shorter than Taker by basically 1/4" and I doubt anything more. The variables in the more recent picture with Taker Kane are all entirely at Taker's disadvantage as well, footwear, posture, and camera position.
Taker's wrestling boots have never been thicker than Kane's in the traditional wrestling fashion. When Kane didn't wear lifts for a time during 2001, occasionally Taker wore work boots during promos, and there are times Taker looks taller. Interestingly enough, even though Kane is always billed 7' on paper and casually during commentary as the "7 footer," and Taker always a "shade under 7 foot" if they don't specifically say 6'10 and a half, they do sometimes cut them down a bit even putting Kane at 6'10.5" at times. Recently, for whatever reason, Michael Cole decided to say in comparison "Kane outweighing Undertaker by just a bit, Undertaker a little bit taller." when they wrestled each other after WM this year.
This would basically defeat the purpose of the 7 foot and 6'10.5" bills. Also, to repeat myself yet again, Kane has two different types of boots he currently wears on a regular basis and the heel difference is obvious. One pair very large lifts, the other, not so much but still thicker than Taker's current boots. In that match specifically, of the pic I posted, Kane is not wearing the normal lifts, but the smaller ones which is why they look virtually identical height. Even still there is a discrepency between boots.
Another example, there is match where Big Daddy V looks 1" shorter than Kane in a blatant staredown. BDV is wearing lifts, Kane is not, but another match where they are reversed in footwear advantage from a different time frame (like the shot with Big Show and Kane), there is a clear difference in height. There's really no reason for them to switch up footwear like that but they do. I guess all those pics I posted of footwear comparisons were pointless because the same mistakes are being made by many. Also, putting Taker as low as 6'6.5" as some people have here makes most other guys impossibly short even by the listings here.

How do you not realize your photos were useless for declaring height? And why do you ignore those posted by others, most of which offered far more accurate comparisons?
Fact is, finding photos between these guys isn't hard and Kane dwarfs HHH and Goldberg by over 5" easily. Kane also looks about 5" taller than Edge (who's taller than HHH) in street clothes in the pic with Harley Race and Mick Foley.
Haha right.so im supposed to believe someone else's cruddy photo but mine doesnt mean anything? what a load of sh*t.

I'm not sure if Kane does have a footwear advantage there. Taker is wearing some pretty thick boots these days as well.
I think they're both pretty much exactly the same height to be honest. Maybe a very slight advantage to Kane, but no more than about 1/4 of an inch.

yet in this pic they look more the same height. UT's eye and jaw lines are lower but the back of his gives him his height, much like his photos with Sid. Click Here

There are too many variables to tell anything from that pic, other than they are relatively close in height which we all know anyway.
Kane in his largest boots circa 1999 was easily 1.5" taller than Taker, and NUMEROUS videos show Kane nearly an inch taller than Taker in current footwear.

I totally agree Shock Of Electric about Taker being a little taller than Kane. I've always thought this. Kane is only a little taller than Taker because of his larger boots. Kane only had around 1"-1.5" if that on Taker back when he first appeared in his monster boots. The people that downgrade Taker and want Kane to be taller will disagree and show pictures but really, the pictures support our claims since Kane will look a bit taller in of course his bigger boots. They made sure to put him in monsters to be taller than Taker; if he wasn't he would be around the same height and even a hair shorter.

Footwear and posture advantage all go to Kane in these pics. Compensating for Taker's gimmick head lean, they would be identical height, add that Kane's boots are slightly thicker than Taker's and you then have a height difference. He's definitely shorter than Taker, not by much, but enough that their height differential should be noted.
There are no viable photos that show Kane barely taller than Goldberg or Triple H, especially since there are clear photos that show Kane approximately 6" taller than Triple H.

I really dont think so red, dig this, this male nurse that delivers meds where i work had talked to me about wrestling the other day, and mark canterbury aka henry godwin is from this area of west virginia, and the nurses name is gary meyers. well he said that he used to work out at the princeton fitness center with canterbury, and i asked him if canterbury was a big dude and he stated ''Yeah he was a big boy, he was about 6'6'', Im 6'1'' and he stood about 4 or 5 inches over me.'' so i asked him if he had ever met the undertaker in person and he said he had seen him in the early 90s as mark callous, i asked him if callous was larger than canterbury and he said he was by about 2 or 3 inches! so calaway has got to be 6'8''- 6'9'' range. or at least he was at one time. also tim silvia is listed at 6'8'' and appears to be about 6'6'' and taker has a cpl on him.. so im gonna go with my billing. a lot of other ppl would agree, but there are a few that dont. its ok though, we go with what makes the most sense. ;P

he has to be in the 6'8''-6'9'' range just as he states. because their billed heights are most likely 2-3 inches off. taker at highest in 91-94 was billed at 6'10 1/2'' and even 6'11''. so id say 6'8''-6'9'' minimum 6'8''. in the early 90s they didnt have any guys as tall as he so they had to give him a monster billing. and once sid justice had come he kinda ruined that billing for taker, despite the fact that taker has a little change on sid, taker in the early 90s did appear shorter than sid at times. so if taker were 6'8''-6'9'' sid is anywhere from 6'7.5''-6'8'' and change.

The tallest I have seen Taker look is 6'8-6'8.5 and he has looked like 6'6.5-6'7 as well. He's one of those tall guys that can look a variety of height the truth probably lies right in the middle.
