Thanks tuga, that is something I've been asking for a while on here but no one could ever back it up. That is clearly one of the thinnest types of boots (Ministry Taker) you could wear and I've heard it go so far as to be claimed that he would lifts comparable to Kane's, those are clearly 0.75" max and there's no internal lifting there, which is another generalized claim. Nash and Taker's footwear was pretty much much even, which is why their height differential is what it is.

There is a photo of Taker and the Big Show, where Taker is wearing those exact boots, and Big Show is wearing lifts, Taker still looks about 4" shorter compensating for the angle, but when you recompensate for the lifts, it goes back to what their true height difference probably is. I posted that on here and people said Taker looks as tall as 6'9" but the boots were claimed to be lifts when they clearly aren't. I don't think there's really much more than 3" between Big Show and Taker as Taker is above his eyebrows even when footwear advantage goes to Big Show, but I also put Big Show at about 6'11.5", possibly less today.

Nash about 2" taller than Taker. Bundy I believe wore some amount of lift during his final WWF run. I met Bundy in '96 and he was definitely around 6'3" (noticably taller than my friends who were both 6'1"ish at the time around age 15-16).

Since then I started doing indy shows in '97 and have met numerous workers, but I have no pictures with them since that is considered taboo amongst workers. Sid whom I have met, most notably, I believe is off by nearly an inch on this site.

the only way Undertaker is 6'9" or 6'10" is in high platform shoes. In gym shoes he's 6'8"-6'8 1/2" and would barely be a hair taller than me. I am 6'7" tall. I was measured 6'7 1/2" before graduating Round Rock High School in 1997 a couple months shy of turning 18.

Thanks KingNick. My purpose was to show that Taker's often at a disadvantage in boots at all times throughout his career...

Yes, your right, there
Shock of Electric said on 5/Oct/08
Thanks KingNick. My purpose was to show that Taker's often at a disadvantage in boots at all times throughout his career, that combined with his gimmick posture make him seem a bit shorter but still obvious tall. Today he also uses a variable stance to come down to the level of his opponent (this makes it easier for them to land punches to the face, apply holds and to pick him up on top of complimenting his MMA style). When the man stands up completely straight you can see just how tall he really is, and that's only in situations where his opponent is just about his height or taller.

I saw Triple H referenced at being about 6-7" shorter than Kane, and I believe this to be true when Kane is in his lifts, as I have seen the exact same difference in height. Most notably during the big tag match they had on RAW earlier in the year with Taker, Kane, Trips, and Cena vs JBL, Edge, Orton etc. They are side by side and Kane absolutely dwarfs Triple H. I also disagree with this site's listing of Trips at 6'2", he is clearly closer to 6'3" than 6'2" based on various comparisons putting him at about 6'2.75". Triple H is more than half a head shorter than Taker. That makes Taker a minimum 6'8" based on this site's listing of Triple H to start, as Taker's head is no less than 11" tall (bigger than Kane's, smaller than Big Show's). Basically, his forehead is about 5" from his eyebrows up so anyone up to his eyes (Batista) is about 5" shorter, and up to his nose (6" shorter), bottom of the nose 7" shorter. Kurt Angle as an example, always looked 10" shorter than Taker easily.

On a side note, Albert is definitely a mid 6'6" and occasionally wore lifts. He should have had a 6'8" or 6'9" bill.

I also remember this site having (6'8" is probably) listed for Taker, but shortly after I mentioned posted a pic showing Taker and Kane the same height it was removed. I don't know if it had anything to do with that, but the pic was meant to show they are the same height in different boot thickness.

"And another thing i doubt akebono is 6'8 he was barely taller than lesnar.Unless u wanna say brock is 6'3 or 4 which is more realistic.But everyone will start bitching like girls and saying brock is about 4 foot or something."

Give it a rest. Akebono was "barely taller" than Lesnar? On another board you said Kane was "barely taller" than HHH and Goldberg were.

I guess the real question is, how do you define "barely taller?" If you consider 5-6" "barely taller", then I would tend to agree with you.

Well if A train is 6'6 then so is undertaker.even someone on here posted a pic of them squaring off,and they were the same height.And why do people still call him "albert" he hasnt been called that since 2002.
Ghost said on 30/Sep/08
Yep, Albert is 6'6 and wears big boots. I think he was billed as 6'8 in the WWE.
KingNick said on 29/Sep/08
Shock of Electric, nice photos man
Annoyed said on 29/Sep/08
well despite the fact we know that some people can be underbilled by accident this is very very unlikelly so we can assume ALbert is 6'6" making taker around 6'7" . Although does albert not have slightly larger heels than Taker? either way id say 6'7".5" and maybe ( MAYBE ) 6'8" peak ?? anyone in this school of thought?
Big Show said on 29/Sep/08
Annoyed says on 29/Sep/08
Right so Akebono who was a sumo wrestler measured and wieghed, he yielded 6'8" barefoot. And albert looks almost his height. is Albert actually 6'7"?? because he isnt 2 inches shorter than actual 6'8" Akebono and tbh i dont even see an inch between the two but ill assume Albert is wearing big shoes. In fact when i think of it, Albert is actually a humungous man! does anyone know what his billed height is ?? anyway if Albert is 6'7" then Taker is about 6'8" and if Albert is around 6'6" Taker is around 6'7" .

Albert was billed 198 cm or 6'6 in his match with Brock Lesnar while wrestling in Japan. The same height as he was back when he was playing College Football. So I doubt he was taller than that.

He was wearing some big boots in his match with Akebono (definately bigger than the ones he wore in his match with Taker). Akebono was wearing flat-soled wrestling boots, like they used to wear in the old days.

Takers boots are not as flat as everyone thinks they are.
Ghost said on 23/Sep/08
Alex,

So are you saying he was wearing lifts to look 4-5 inches shorter than 7'+ Khali?
Drexyl said on 22/Sep/08
Undertaker's too close there to really call it. I have never, ever seen Kane look shorter than Taker in any staredown.
Clay said on 22/Sep/08
And please no ''Khali is barely over 7'0 '' Comments please the man has said 7'2 more than once and he had 5.5-6 inches on 6'8 Kane, who probably had a footwear advantage.
Clay said on 22/Sep/08
Well I wouldn't say there is no way he was only 5 inches under Khali unless he had a huge boot advantage. If you want to see what a 6'6.5/6'7 guy looks like next to Khali check out the Gary Godsey pic.

Clay, there is no way UT is still 6'8 today. If you just look at him today or within the last couple years comparing him to the 90's he was def a little taller back then.

6'8'' is fine for Taker, even still today.
Big King said on 21/Sep/08
I have some good news. Yesterday I saw in a spot where The Undertaker was standing face to face to 6'3" Batista and Taker didn't look full four inches taller. There was maybe at least two inches difference between them. Taker could be 6'7" at his peak. I would give him at least 6'6".
Frank said on 19/Sep/08
Well Justin he appeared very tall to me after we took the picture i said to him " Damm YOU ARE TALL HOW TALL ARE YOU ?? HE SAID 6FT 9 And he looked it
He could have been easily 6ft 8 barefoot and he could have past for 6ft 10 (which we know hes not) Justin like i said many times on here i was on Higher ground them him because the floor was on an upward slope and i was slightly behind him so i appear alittle taller than i am
Justin? Masters? said on 18/Sep/08
You people may not realize it, but if taker stood up straight in this photo up above, he would probably stand a whole foot over paul bearer and about 10 inches or so over frank. now i dont know what the deal is, but taker has always looked between 6'7.5''-6'10''. dont believe me? take a size 12 shoe in mens and put it on the top of paul bearers head, with taker standing as straight as possible, i would guarantee that whenever this photo was taken, taker would most definately be somewhere around the 6'10'' mark! frank stated himself that taker looked to be about 6'9'' or so. its all about camera angles, boots, ect... and the staredown with nash, he appeared roughly a little over an inch under nash. so with the knee surgeries or whatever, I would give the undertaker peak 6'9'' maybe not even a shade under in boots, and about 6'8'' in boots today. who knows what the story is with the boots or lifts or what he is barefoot. whats your take on this frank??
Captain Spaulding said on 16/Sep/08
Dwight no offense or anything man but the only way ill believe anyone saying there 6'7" or taller on this site is if they post a pic of themselves by one of those height measuring things.

Dwight even if you rally are 6ft 10 1/2 Taker has a Big Build and he is pretty wide TV does not show it so you would not embarrass him believe me
hs2008 said on 15/Sep/08
Lol, yet another giant on this site.

I doubt Undertaker would be embarrassed standing next to a taller guy, at 6'7"-6'8" I imagine he's pretty secure with his own height.
tuga said on 15/Sep/08
Thanks Big Show.
Albert stacks very well against both men, I paused at 5:19 at his match vs akebono and he seens almost same height. I would bet if taker and akebono had a staredown they would be the same height, comparing both to big show also proves that.

Albert should be a strong 6'6, given his footware advantge he seens almost same height as 6'8 men.
Dwight said on 14/Sep/08
Undertaker is not 6'10 1/2" as they always bill him. Please. Funny how WWE likes to inflate wrestler's heights and even their weights. UT would have to wear high platform boots to get to that height. I would actually embarrass him if we stood next to each other in regular shoes.
I actually stand 6'10.5" barefoot, 6'11" in shoes.

Taker is 6'8", and was born either in 1962 or 1965. Its a mystery.
Ray said on 14/Sep/08
Ola: 1965; that's what the family tree legends/texas births has him at Click Here website has him at; but if that's not enough, he also graduated from high school in 1983 (check third line down; also has pics) Click Here

This indicates he was around 18 in 1983 and born most likely in 1965. I say 1965 since this is the only evidence we have and seems to be pretty good. You'll hear other birthdates for him but they have no merit really.

Matt Bloom ain't taller than 6'6. I've mentioned this about a million times already, he was listed as 6'6 in college football and as 198 cm (6'5.95) in NJPW. So he ain't taller than that.

God if anythign A-Train could be 6'7" 6'6" BARE MINIMUM.

NO. He was wearing huge boots and still was an easy 2" shorter than MAX 6'8" Akeebono. Chances are A-Train is closer to 6'5.5" than he is 6'6 1/4", seeing he was listed at 6'6" in football. My step brother is just under 6'2.5" and was listed at 6'3" in College football.
Ghost said on 8/Sep/08
Thanks for the Goldberg/Taker picture Tuga.

Danimal,

So that's what you base your estimation of Taker's height today on? For all we know they may not even be standing on level surface.

Haven't you in the past disregarded pictures for height comparison, because the persons feet were cut of?

So far I have seen no evidence whatsover that would suggest Taker to be anything under 6'7 today.
Drexyl said on 8/Sep/08
Goldberg would be more like 6,3" in shoes, and that's a **** picture anyway.

Taker and Kane both stack up to Khali better than Godsey does. Khali looks relaxed in the pic with Godsey. He always stood to his full height when staring down Taker and Kane.

Taker looks taller next to Khali than Godsey, even if he Khali is closer to the camera. That's an easy 5 inch difference, probably a little more making Khali over 7 feet, but not quite 7'1.

The 6'6 nonsense for Taker needs to stop (as well as the 6'10 nonsense). There is like 1 picture where at first glance he looks to be in the 6'6 range and that is the A-train staredown. A-train was around 6'6 (He towered 6'2 Lesnar with Minimum 4 inches) and wore very thick boots and Taker was still a hair taller.

REALLY?? There is only 1 picture??? Have you not seen the pic with Goldberg and Taker at a recent casual event. Goldberg is around 6'2" and Taker looked MAX 6'6" next to him.

Wasn't that picture like from a very bad angle and had only like their heads in it or something? Please refresh my memory.

Anyway, a near 6'8 man will have to slouch when around people of normal height just to get eye-contact. Taker never had the greatest posture.

What is your take on the Khali/Taker staredown? Khali is 6'10-6'11? And Big Show 6'10-6'9? It just doesn't add up.

There is very little proof of Taker losing anymore than an 0.5 inches of height. If you think there's more proof, please present it. It comes down to what MOST of the evidence suggest. Nobody's going to look thae excact same height in every photo.

Anthony said on 8/Sep/08
Here is a quick example.
Kane vs Khali Click Here - This has been seen before but shows both men standing as tall as possible. Kane comes up to the top of Khali's eyes

Undertaker vs Khali Click Here - Different angle but shows taker pretty much on par with Kane, his hair maybe makes him look slightly taller plus the angle

Gary Godsey - Click Here NFL player as far as I can tell is listed as both 6'6 and 6'7 on most websites. Either way has to be around 6'7 in shoes. He is below khali's eyeline with khali in a slightly relaxed pose. NO WAY is undertaker 6'6. I belive both men are over 6'8
Anthony said on 8/Sep/08
Every website I can find claims Gary Godsey is 6'6. This may be a barefoot measurement. In shoes surely he'd be close to 6'7. IMO taker and kane stack up better next to khali than Godsey does

Also his 6'10" and 6'9" claimings are a bit strange. He is no more than 6'8" and Kane is 6'8 1/2". I was a bit confused when I though that Kane is almost two inches taller than the Undertaker. Kane looks only about an inch taller than Calaway.

We had this debate a while ago. Star Trek probably tried to make them around the same height since they are from the same alien race. You can see how Schwartz in dress shoes and Big Show measure up to Roddy Piper. Click Here Schartz would not be close to Big Show if he stood fully erect. Schwartz looks considerably shorter next to 5'8" Mamun on this site than Kevin Nash, and Big Show had close to 3 inches on Nash.

If you watch the show which I've just posted, you'll see that not all of these members of the alien race are even close to 7 feet tall (like Big Show), so I doubt they just made Schwartz the same height as Big Show and the rest not.

Here's a perfect shot of Schwartz & Lundgren. I'd say Schwartz has Lundgren by 4 inches.

In all honesty I really do bet that Big Show is still 7'0" if not more today. I doubt hes lost height and when he stands straight there is NOT more than 1" between him and Khali, likely less.

There's a good pic out there of Schwartz looking around 4 inches taller than ~ 6'4" Dolph Lundgren, though I don't recall the footwear. He looked to have ~ 6'5" Vince Vaughn by at least 3 inches but had a big footwear advantage. I think Schwartz is at least 6'7" but no more than 6'8".

Someone on this board met Schwartz and asked him about wrestlers' heights. IIRC, he said Big Show was 7'0" or 7'1".

Big Show was the leader of the gang, so I doubt Schwartz would have a footwear advantage over Show.
He appears at the end of part II, part III and part IV. Schwartz only has a small part (he's nothing more than an extra).
Big Show said on 30/Aug/08
On the Big Show board I think more than enough evidence has been given to support that Big Show was around 7 feet during his peak. Nowadays he looks to have lost a bit of height due to his bad posture, but not much though (maybe 0.5"). The Great Khali only has an inch on Big Show today. I think Big Show is 6'11.5 today and Schwartz 3 inches shorter, making him 6'8.5.
Rick said on 29/Aug/08
I met Undertaker in the late 90's. I actually had video footage of the meeting and there were several shots of my 6'4 brother standing next to him. Taker had a good 3 inches or so on him so the general concensus here of 6'7/6'8 is right in the ballpark. I'd say 6'7.5 and call it a day.
Clay said on 29/Aug/08

I think UBG is a legit 6'8", not taller tho. Show only looks 2" taller there, but that may be the way they're standing or something. I don't think Show is taller than 6'11" today and was a full 7' at peak at least.

On the pic with the Big Show I think Scott was standing on higher ground?

Click Here

They're standing on level ground (there's a door behind them). Schwartz has a camera advantage and is standing more straight than Big Show, but the most I could see between them is 3 inches.

James says on 28/Aug/08
There was a pic where Scott looked shorter than 6ft8 Tyler Mane as well.

You're referring to this pic: Click Here
Mane is only a fraction taller (I don't see even an inch between them. However if you brighten up the pic, you'll get a better view on their footwear. Although it's unclear what type of footwear Schwartz is wearing, it's very clear that Mane is wearing some gigantic cowboy boots (it looks almost as if he's standing on his tiptoes). Those boots probably give him a 2.5" boost, while Schwartz looks to be wearing normal dressing shoes (the seam of his pants almost hit the floor, while the seam of Mane's pants are a few inches above it). No doubt Schwartz would be taller than Mane if both were barefoot.

Frank says on 28/Aug/08
Yes James i dont believe he's 6ft 10 and i would say the most he could be is 6ft 7

For the sake of Dolph Lundgren, Vince Vaughn, Steven Seagal, Bernie Mac, Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, Jim Carrey, Marc Singer, Big Show and George Clooney he'd better be taller than that or else you can knock off a good inch on all of these guys heights.

He ain't taller than 6'9 as that's what he was billed at in his early wrestling career when he wrestled under the name of Giant David.

The 6'10 billings came when he changed his gimmick to Joshua Ben-Gurion.

He's a big guy though, he was nearly the same height as Big Show in a backstage pic on Star Trek. Taker never looked that tall compared to Big Show.
I think Scott Schwartz would have an inch Taker today. He looks nothing below 6'8 to me. I know PWI listed him as 6'7 when he was the Joshua Ben-Gurion gimmick, but their source is dubious to say the least, as he was billed at 6'10 when he was Joshua Ben-Gurion.

Ghost, you'r way off! Typhoon was no way heavier than vader and bossman was shorter than legit 6'3 typhoon (good to compare with) and bigelow was shorter than the 6'2 tops vader. and you need to delete atleast 1 inch from everyone else

I could have listed Vaders weight as little too low, but Typhoon was taller than him and he was also massive. Bossman at slightly under 6'4 is not impossible.

I would need to delete atleast 1 inch from everybody to agree with you on their heights. No offence, but that's not my goal.

I think I you take back the 2 extra inches of WWF exaggeration you are right on spot on their peak heights .

Sid billed 6'9.5 --> 6'7.5
Taker billed 6'10.5 ---> 6'8.5
Nash billed 7'0.5 --> 6'10.5+ (2" to 2.5 inches taller than UT )

by the way billing Sid anywhere under 6'7 as a peak height is clearly a joke .
Frank said on 19/Aug/08
Well if Taker is 6ft6 .5 then a Peak Hogan was about 6ft 4???
Me said on 19/Aug/08
Let me just say that according to this site Nash is at 6'9" & Sid is at 6'6".5. Which Nash may be 6'9" now. However he was listed at 6'10 or 11 when he played ball. Regardless, if when Nash & Sid had their staredowns is being considered to be 2.5" diff then Andre must have had 7-8 inches on Hogan, 6'6 at least at the time.Andre's forehead was huge. If it is being stated that Nash had that much on Sid then Andre definitely was over the 7' mark. IMO Sid should be 6'7.5 and Andre should be 7'1" peak & 6'11 at death. Wilt had his forehead length on Russell who was exactly 4" shorter than Wilt.Wilt had a very small head compared to Andre. Head size & proportions must be taken into account. Look at Shoemaker. You can't just say a head size bigger or smaller you must be specific on which head you are talking about, HaHa.

Billed heights arnet always that off, sometimes they are dead on or even too low (Henry, Christian, Cena) I have seen Taker listed anywhere from 6'8-6'11 throughout his career, never have I seen him listed below 6'8". He was 6'8" peak no less, live with it, gees.

Red, look at my video I posted below with Undertaker as Mean Mark (WCW) before WWE/WWF and he has an easy foot on 5'9" Teddy Long. He wasngt below 6'8" peak, and who even says Sid was 6'7" Ive never seen him listed below 6'8" He could have been a weak 6'8" guy.

Rob fist had Sid at a miserable 6'6'', completely ripping him off then upgraded him to 6'6.5. The man needs to be at least at 6'7.5 IMO.

Very much agreed

JT, I'm beginning to wonder about that Yankem/UT pic. I use to think that Yankem had .5" on him (UT does have the camera advantage like you said) but Yankem has a fro going at the time. UT's head is very long as we pointed out, I'm beginning to wonder if they're maybe both the same size barefoot.

It makes more sense since Yankem/Jacobs clearly wore/wear lifts as Kane. The point was to appear much taller than UT.

NashOwnsAll, That could be right Taker is about 1.5 inches shorter than Nash when he stands straigt

WAS PRE-2001. NO WAY would he measure up to a peak Nash that way today and I would bet the farm that Sid would have .5-1" on Taker today.
NashOwnsAll said on 15/Aug/08
I'm quite pleased with that picture I put together! Thanks for the comments everyone!

Sid makes a good yardstick since his posture and footware have been very consistent during his most of his career. And sid just happens to stare down at both wrestlers in similar positions relative to the camera within the space of 2 years lol

The gap between Undertaker and Sid looks like 1 inch or maybe a little less than an inch. Nash has around 2.5 inches on Sid and between 1.25 - 1.5 inches on Undertaker.

I love the comparison NashOwnsAll. I have always felt that Sid and Taker were very close with Taker edging Sid slightly no more then 1". Nash I thought has always been no more then 2" taller then Taker. maybe even less. this is what I think Nash 6'10"(peak) now 6'9". Taker 6'8"(peak) now 6'7.5". Sid 6'7" (peak) now 6'6".5"

Nice find JT, Snitsky's college listing. I don't think he's any less than 6'5" but that college listing is certainly inflated quite a bit, shock horror. Heidenreich looked 6'5.5" or 6'6" which would put Undertaker still at 6'7.5" or 6'8" in 2005 or whenever that casket match was.

IIRC, Vegas saw Heidenreich and thought he looked huge (at least 6'6") but did not see Taker being more than 6'7" tops.

The first pic you posted is from that staredown in the lockerroom before Heidenreich's casket match with Undertaker. Snitsky looks slightly taller to me, but in the other staredown of the two it's the other way around. Does Snitsky wear lifts from time to time? I never paid attention to his footwear, so I wouldn't know, but he was always billed as a monster.

a train and akebono had a staredown. u see the boots he had in wwe compared to the ones in new japan. now my question is? if albert is 6'6'' with boots 6'7''-6'7.5, then it makes taker 6'7.5-6'8'', akebono is either the same height or at least a half an inch taller than taker. and nash not far over him. this would mean nash is only 6'9. legit
kevin o shea said on 12/Aug/08
that height chart that red posted? dont mean nothin. and newsflash.taker is 6'8'' barefoot BAREFOOT red! and gonzalez was 7'6'' BAREFOOT! now on that height chart, theyre clearly wearing their boots. so I would give taker anywhere from 6'9''-6'10'' tops and gonzalez 7'8''-7'9'' he had platforms on. and they had tried to boost him as close to 8 ft as possible and taker as close to 7 ft as possible. for taker anywhere from 1-2 inches on his boots. and gonzalez anywhere from 2-3 on his. why do u think that gonzalez couldnt move so quickly as he had in wcw. im aware of his condition, but still 2 years later? cmon see it my way and it makes sense. youll thank me tomorrow

Lol, weve talked about Heidenrich before, he was MUCH taller than Snitsky, he was around 6'7" Ask Vegas to show you the photos of him when He met him, I think we all peg him at 6'6-6'7" from Vegas's photos.

When Heidenreich had his casket match with Undertaker, there was a backstage locker room segment in which Heidenreich is confronted by Snitsky. From what I remember, Snitsky was slightly taller. I have the dvd at home, so I'll cap some pictures of it this weekend. No way is Heidenreich much taller, at best he's the same height as Snitsky.

What is going on here!!!???? There is like a dozen posts in a ROW by all NEW posters who all claim he is actually 6'10" barefeet minimum??? I mean ROB, can you check in to see if this is the SAME person who keeps changing his name? It's ridiculous. Taker was NEVER over 6'8". EVER!!! Wrestlers are not their BILLED heights KIDDIES!!!!

ah that guy holds the record I think for the number of different names he's tried to use, it will be good to wipe the smirk of his face now that all his posts are deleted.

For crying out loud Danimal.. If he claimed 6'8 himself, let me see the proof and... why doesn't this site upgrade his listed site to 6'8 instead of 6'7.5?

Why does no one read my posts? ;>(

Brain, Grace, Claire, Dutch, anyone who thinks Undertaker is 6'10", PLEASE read my post from August 9. I'll give you candy. Even if you don't agree, just acknowledge you read it!
Alex2 said on 11/Aug/08
Has anyone noticed how Undertaker has a very bad posture? In nearly ever photo I see him in he is always either has his legs spread apart so is not standing straight enough or is always leaning forward, like he used to do with Mean Gene when interviewed, even when he stodd by Gonzalez he never stood fully straight, I think thats why alot of people have suspicions over his height.
miko said on 11/Aug/08
It's funny how people claim Undertaker is 6"9 when he is clearly shorter than 6"8 maximum Kane. Kane does wear lifts, but Undertaker doesn't wear small boots either.

As of 2008, he is no taller than the height Rob has him listed at.

That's a great picture Stacey showing Taker's height over Hogan; I'd say Taker had 2-3" on him back then.

He has been billed at 6'8" AND HAS CLAIMED 6'8" FOR HIMSELF for crying out loud!!! The guy was NEVER over that. What don't you people understand??? He did NOT have 3" on 6'6" A-Train!!!

Too many people here buy the billed heights of Wrestlers! 6'11.5 to 7' for Kevin Nash? He's been billed at heights up to 7'1 but also as low as 6'10. Even in his match with The Giant (Big Show), who was billed at an exaggerated height of 7'4, he was referred to as 6'10. Does anyone here also believe the difference between them was 6 inches?

Nate says on 9/Aug/08
The Undertaker next to other tall guys like Test, Heidenrich, A-Train, Sid and etc.. appeared taller, so this big guy as to at least be 6'9, 6'9.5 or so

Yeah he was taller than them, but that doesn't make him 6'9, unless you believe all their billed heights!

Wasn't Heidenreich a little shorter than Snitsky and wasn't Snitsky shorter or the same height as 6'4.75 NFL player Ben Roethlisberger (not sure if I spelled his name correct). And I didn't see 5 inches between Taker and Heidenreich.

A-train could be over 6'6" though, just a thought. If so, not by much.

That would mean that the Japanese went as far as billing him as a GIANT, and then list him below his actual height. I find that a bit hard to swallow. The Japanese are the ones who billed Khali & Silva at 7'6.5, so it's not like they don't exaggerate heights.

The Undertaker is at least 6'8.5 to 6'9 barefoot. In boots he is 6'10. Alex2, look at all the tall men he has been taller than, you do the math.

Alex2 said on 9/Aug/08
The max Taker could have been is 6'8.5" or 6'8.25" Danimal, I have never heard of him claiming "only" 6'8" as his height at one time but when I heard him claim that it was in the "This Is my yard" DVD when he constantly said "Im 6'8"-6'9" not just 6'8" He could be lying in between the two but I still think a solid 6'8" peak sounds right, no more, no less.
Clay said on 9/Aug/08
Taker didn't come within 4 inches of Khali, sorry. He came to his eyebrows, so thats at least 5 inches and he may have had a significant footwear advantage becasue later staredowns saw about a 6 inch gap between him and Khali. Still he's at least 6'7/6'7.5.

Big Show: the most interesting staredown that shows a POST 2000 height shrinkage for Taker is his FACE-OFF with Viscera in 1999, when Viscera wanted to become part of the ministry. Taker walked right up to him on solid ground outside of the ring (this was Takers PEAK height) and Taker had close to 2" on Viscera. So yeah, he could have been close to 6'8" PRE-2001 and post about 6'6.5". The man lost a solid inch at that point. Alex also noticed this. HE used to stack up pretty well next to Kane with HUGE boots in the late 90's. NO WAY would Taker only come in within 1" with KAne if Kane sported those huge late 90's boots. Taker may be as low as 6'6" today imo.

Did that staredown happen on the 1999 Royal Rumble? If so I'll try to look it up and post some pictures of it.
miko said on 9/Aug/08
Undertaker is about 5 inches shorter than Khali, it could even be 6 inches. I have never seen 4 inches - if there is then find a photo.

A 7"1 Khali would result in a 6"7 Undertaker.
Big Show said on 9/Aug/08
Ghost says on 8/Aug/08
Big show,
Kane was also very close in height with 6'6,5 Big daddy V.
He had 1 inch on Taker when he wore lifts.

When Kane made his debut in the WWF in 1997 he had 2 inches on Taker. I haven't seen Kane wearing those big boots in recent confrontations with Taker, but Kane still had an inch on him. Look for the match of Undertaker and Isaac Yankem on Youtube. Glen Jacobs isn't wearing any lifts there and he's still taller than the Undertaker.
KingNick said on 9/Aug/08
Undertaker himself saying he's 6'8":

This is from a magazine published by the WWE April 14, 2003. Undertaker talks out of character, as well as others talk to / about him out of character.

"I think that they forget that I'm SIX-FOOT-EIGHT and over 300 pounds." - UNDERTAKER, page 50

"... as this 6'8" Texas native began to fill out to around 280-290 pounds." JIM ROSS, page 4.

"- a 6-FOOT-8, 300 pound hybrid ..." page 1, anonymous.


Now I'll go as far to admit that this doesn't PROVE he's 6'8", but why would a guy who's billed 6'10" say he's 6'8" in a magazine published by the company he works for?


Here's an excerpt from WWE UNSCRIPTED, a book published by WWE in 2003:

"People said to me, 'You fill out a little bit at 6'8", you could go someplace.'" - UNDERTAKER, pg 39


Here's a few other excerpts regarding heights from UNSCRIPTED:


"I was 17 years old, 6'2" or 6'3", about 180 pounds." - EDGE, page 21

"So I told him, 'Vince, you got guys here that are 6'10", 7 feet; 300, 350 pounds. I'm 6'2", 250 pounds ... If you take my personality away from me, I can't compete with anyone here.'" - STEVE AUSTIN, page 41 (imagine being 6'2", 250 and feeling small)

"I'm 6'10"." - NATHAN JONES, page 61

"I'M SEVEN feet tall in my bare feet, and I weigh 453 pounds. My dad was 6'5", my mom was 5'10". The milkman was 6'10" ... draw your own conclusions." - BIG SHOW, page 73

There's probably a few more I'm missing, but this is all of them talking out of character.

UT is 6'7 tops today. Kane is 6'7-6'7.5 minimum. I see Kane an inch taller than UT today. A peak UT would be pretty much the same height as Kane is.

Id love Taker to be measured today :)
NashOwnsAll said on 9/Aug/08
Undertaker is I believe between 6'7.75 - 6'8 in recent years, his height hasnt changed other than from the footwear he has at the time, and even so it only variates between 0.25 inch.

6'8 co-incides well with a 7'1 Khali, there is around a 4.5 - 5 inch gap between the 2 in that staredown they had for the first time.

Alot of people think Taker is 6.6.5 because of that staredown with Albert. There are dozens of staredowns undertaker has had with various wrestlers that he is atleast 6'7 but that all gets nullified by one single photo of him and Albert.

Instead of downgrading Undertaker, perhaps we should upgrade Albert, he's a huge man and even next to the big show he's not dwarfed like other so-called 6'6 wrestlers (Batista, Scott Hall, etc) were
Ghost said on 9/Aug/08

Please explain the Taker and Khali staredowns.

If you say Taker is 6'6 than Khali becomes 6'10-11 and Big show becomes 6'9.

Big Show, he wasn't billed as 6'8" in WCW, but 6'9" Click Here (listen at 1:55 - 2min mark)

He was billed 6'8" in the USWA Click Here (listen at the 24 sec mark)

And sorry I highly disagree I see a very clear footwear advantage for Albert in his match with UT.

KingNick says on 5/Aug/08
I just got a chance to check out the new UT/Albert photos. It is so obvious to me that Albert has a footwear advantage here Click Here he was getting pushed at the time they probably wanted to make him seem more monstrous.

Look at the toe and then the heel. It goes up into a lift. I think had UT had ever so slight of an advantage on Albert too, maybe 1/4" Click Here

I'm open to the fact that UT could be 6'7" now, it's certainly possible. Personally tho, I still think he's 6'8" and I put Albert at 6'6". In the match with shoes: Albert 6'8.5" and UT 6'8.75" Click Here again, I think they were trying to make Albert as tall as UT on purpose since he was getting a push at the time.

How is taker taller than A-Train but only 6'6 1/2. How does a man going from being billed at 6'10 to 6'6 1/2. So he lost 4 inches?.. really? You know Ola, James Brown was really 6'5 but lost 2 inches now he is 6'3? oh yeah Michael Jackson is 6'3 maybe 6'4? I mean, Ola that is what you sound like

You obviously don't know the difference between someone's billed height and someone's real height. Taker was billed at 6'10 but he wasn't really 6'10, nor has he ever been 6'10. He was billed at 6'8 in WCW, so how can he be taller than that? Plus why are you picking on Ola, he's not claiming 6'6.5 for Undertaker, is he. He's actually agreeing with you.

A-Train was billed at 6'6 at University and he was still billed that height in 2006 when he wrestled for NJPW (he was listed in cm's so don't come up with he's 6'6.5 either). So one thing we can be sure off, Albert ain't taller than 6'6. Some people claim 2" lifts for Albert. In the match with Taker his boots were smaller than during his match with 6'8 Akebono and still Akebono measured up better to Albert, than Taker does, so how can taker be 6'8 as well. Akebono wore flat-soled boots, which probably gave him only a 0.5" height boost, which would make him 6'8.5 and still he had easily an inch on Albert. So Albert's boots couldn't give him more than 1.5" tops (unless he's shorter than 6'6). And in the match with Taker they probably gave him an inch tops, making him 6'7 in ring gear. Taker being half an inch taller, would therefore be 6'7.5 in ring gear.

The Undertaker/Albert staredown is one of the best staredown I've seen of Undertaker. We see a full-body, straight forward shot (so no camera advantage for either man) and then we see a close-up, where we can see their height difference better. I've yet to see a comparison like that between Taker and Khali. Khali had an easy 5 inches on Kane, and Kane always had an inch on Taker, so how can Taker be 4 inches shorter than Khali. Something doesn't add up.

Scott Hall was a legit 6-5 prime. Check out his match with Taker in youtube. He holds his own and looks just slightly shorter. About 2, max 3 inches.

I see Undertaker at 3.5" over Goldberg. Both are standing with similar, average posture. Goldberg i'd say is 6'3" barefoot compared to guys like Brock Lesnar. Undertaker therefore looks about 6'6.5" barefoot in that photo.

It is possible the photo is tilted slightly in Goldberg's favour though, so Undertaker could look up to 6'7" when you take that into account. I don't see him being over 6'7" barefoot these days anyways so that seems about right.
Clay said on 6/Aug/08
I actually agree with what this 'brain' guy is saying and not Danimal/Alex. If Undertaker is 6'6.5 these days how in the hell did appear 5 inches under Khali in 2006? The only way that is possible is if he had a 2 inch advantage in the shoes we all know Khali is about as legit a 7'1'' as it gets.

Goldberg's probably standing at 6,3" in shoes, and it looks like he is standing fairly straight (thought not completely) and Taker has a bit of a slouch. Even then I can still see about 4 inches between the two due to Taker's extremely long forehead. If he stood straight there he could easily look 6,8.5" next to Goldberg.

His build doesn't help matters either. He's noticeably slimmer than guys like Goldberg and Batista these days.
