Undertaker's height is weird to judge.
He can look as tall as 6"8-9 next to big guys like Kane.
But he can look as low as 6"5 next to others (Batista, Goldberg, Helms)
I would pin him at 6"6.75 or 6"7 flat, and 6"8.5 in ring gear.

Yeah it makes sense to call someone a "Giant" and then bill him below his real height. No wrestling promoter is stupid enough to do something like that.
The Japanese are normally not the type to bill wrestlers below their actual height (especially big men).
And Albert was billed at 6'8 in the WWE.
He was ALSO billed at 6'7".

And the difference between Khali and Taker becomes smaller by the week. If this rate goes on, by September, people will claim that Undertaker was actually taller than Khali.

Patrick Swayze graduated from Waltrip High School in 1971 when he was 18 years old (He's from August 1952). Shelley Duvall graduated from Waltrip in 1967 when she was 18 years old as well (She's from July 1949). Undertaker graduated in 1983, so it makes more sense to me that he's from 1965 as that would make him also 18 years old when he graduated (unless he was a very bad student), even though a lot of sites give 1962 as his birth year.
Click HereThis Texas Birth site also gives 1965 as his birth year.
Ghost said on 4/Aug/08
The only pic where Taker looks 6'7 flat or under, is the staredown with A-train who apparently wore bigger boots, thus explaining them being almost the same height.
I would really need alot more proof to Taker huge height loss to accept that he went from 6'8 to 6'6,5.
MOST evidence shows that he is still close to 6'8, probably 6'7,5.

Danimal said on 3/Aug/08
Brain, I do not want to see Taker shorter than he is. I am just very aware of posture and length of limbs (legs, upper torso and neck). Taker stopped looking as LONG as he used to be (2000 and before). I know he has had serious injuries and has had some surgeries, so I figure he has lost height. That coupled withe the fact that he is in his late 40's now and has been wrestling for 20 years, I can GUARANTEE that if he was ever a FULL 6'8" he is no longer that height today. I give him 6'6 1/2"-6'7" today.

Nash was and always will be a clear two inches on Taker, eveyone knows in that ONE SINGLE staredown shot the undertaker had big boots on while Nash had slippers....
It would be nice if we had proof of this but that would not surprise me. WWF billed Nash at 7'0" and Undertaker at 6'10.5", so a clear 2-3 inch gap would not fit the story line.
Taker's true height is still a mystery to me. The guy looked at most one inch taller than 6'6" Dan Spivey, basically the same height as Sid and Albert, 2 inches taller than Jake Roberts (likely under 6

Nash was and always will be a clear two inches on Taker, eveyone knows in that ONE SINGLE staredown shot the undertaker had big boots on while Nash had slippers ( watch the Nash DVD or the WWF's Greatest Feuds ) Taker is in boots and Nash is in slippers as he had a habit of doing due to his knees, Nash always wore the flattest footwear possible due to his knees, not a secret and not rocket science. They had to make Undertaker look bigger anyway cause he was supposed to be a monster. I know the ( Nash 6'8" ) and ( Taker 6'9") brigade wont be happy but let me sprinkle a little salt in those partcular pathetic wounds.
Nash Peak Barefoot: 6'10" Taker peak Barefoot: 6'8.25"
Nash in Staredown vid: 6'10.25" Taker in staredown vid: 6'9.75" .
Do your research on Kevin Nash and all his wee quirks and height issues and especially about his footwear, the biggest boots he would ever wear barelly even gave him an inch, closer to .75 . Luckilly at 6'10" peak and about 6'9.5" now AND BEING Big Daddy Cool , Nash didnt givea flier about his height.

Videos are insignificant because they are filmed at different angles, therefore making it hard to tell. Pictures are taken where the target could be either closer, farther then other targets in the pic so dismiss that stuff. In ring staredowns are tricky too because someone who is 6'2 can look almost the same height as someone who is say 5'11 because of distance between lengths of neck, head and shoulders. So the closer you are to someone, the shorter you appear and the shorter you measure up to them even though you have them by more than 2 inches. So staredowns are tell about 40% of the story. Lifts are in every shoe, sneakers too. they are called the sole of the shoe. Its too hard to use that because outside soles are sometimes different levels then inside soles so you can save that comparison. The only real thing to go with is what they are measured with good old fashion measuring tape, or wall scale. Against measuring tape and wall scale he is measured at 6'10. therefore barefeet he would be either 6'8 or 6'9. Kevin Nash with shoes against the tape was in at 6'11.5 almost 7'0. Therefore he is 6'9 or 6'10 barefoot. Big Show is in at 7'2 like before. barefoot he would be 7'0 or 7'1. Peak height is before surgeries and severe health injuries and what not but Taker is under 54 yrs old and has not really had severe tendon and ligement surgery to the point where he would shrink. That is highly doubtful. Especially coming in that close the the Giant Sinh was impressive. Morning, Noon and Night are all the same height scientifically by the way.

KingNick said on 1/Aug/08
Brain, you're talking about using better evidence, certainly a tape measurer would be best. But how the hell do you know what these guys were actually measured? You do realize everyone on this site is going to through a coniption fit at you don't you? I could do that do, watch:
Undertaker is 6'8" against old fashion measuring tape, 6'8.75" in a wrestling shoe

Here's a link to the UT / Diesle staredown I think Diesle has him by 2"
Click HereRed, I wouldn't say UT's shoes were flat, but I don't think that gives him a big boost. I think hogan's shoes are bigger. The background is white, so are his soles, so its harder to tell. Here's another shot:
Click Here I think UT's original shoes gave him .5" and hogans probably .75", IMO the standard.

Red: I'm glad you can tell what height the Undertaker is in the evening; do you know what he had for dinner last night too? Losing 1.5" during the day seems a little odd to me also. It's obvious A-Train has help in his boots. Nash has around 2" on Taker; could be a little less 1.5"; Nash 6'10" and Take 6'8" at that time seems reasonable and today Taker what he's listed here 6'7.5" seems good for barefoot height. I'd go as low as 6'7" though minimum for Taker today and as high as 6'8" which is pretty much what the majority says on here; there are a few loners that will say under 6'7" and in the 6'6" range for Taker and then you have a few saying 6'9"+ which also is bogus to me. BTW, the Goldberg/Taker pic: it's obvious Taker is slouching and certainly not standing fully straight.

NashOwnsAll said on 31/Jul/08
Red,
Everybody here knows that Nash/Diesel is taller than Undertaker, everybody with half a brain knows Nash/Diesel has a larger build than Undertaker, the problem is you in your own world believe the difference is that Nash is 2 inches taller and use the most rediculous photograph to illustrate that. Where as everyone else who looks at my photo can see the camera is even with no advantage to either wrestler the gap is clearly less than 2 inches, barely over an inch if you take account of Nash's big hair. The latter is clearly something you dont take account of, thats why the top line running through Nash's head is his hair, look at the light passing through the top sections.
So what if Nash appears much taller than Taker, compared to Taker is taller than Nash when the camera swings their way? The camera man is not going to move excatly in the opposite side of each man, and one thing is for sure I dont claim Taker is 1 inch taller than Nash even though I can post a rediculous photo like yours to "prove" it.
I dont have proof that Nash/Diesel at the time of that video had footware advantage but no one here has proof they had equal footware, all we can do is make assumptions, and one of them is based on matches these wrestlers have had during the late 1995 - early 1996 Undertaker's soles were very flat while Nash/Diesel had standard sized soles which look a good 0.25 inch thicker
I'm very big Nash fan, but I get fed up of nerds like you jumping on the "Taker is only 6'6" brigade.

You want an answer? He was barely taller than 6'6" MAX A-Train in 2001 (when I believe he began to lose height).
But that's not what I asked is it?
A-train probably had bigger boots than Taker.
And anyway, why is the Taker/Albert staredown more important than the Taker/Khali staredown? Because it doesn't fit your opinions? And how about Taker with Nathan Jones?

This site is being overun by people who are giving people taller heights than those people claim for themselves. Taker has stated that he is 6'8", so he clearly was not 6'9". This was also 20 years ago and YES, wrestlers do lose height. It is NOT fiction. They abuse their bodies and need for the most part corrective surgeries to be able to continue the game. There are dozens of men who prematurely lost height due to the sport of wrestling and the operating table. All you KIDDIES call me dumb and stupid, but when you grow up you will understand these things.

as UT in wwf his shoes were flatter and there is no way he could have worn lifts because from sole to the top it was clearly less than 2 inches high. just enough to fit his foot.
he didnt wear thicker shoes til 2000 when the likes of Albert(6'7 easy) Bigshow(7'1) Nathan Jones(who kept telling people he was 6'10 when wwe was trying to say he was 7'0-6'11) Maven(6'2) and so forth. there are other guys but i cant remember right now. just woke up haha.

well hows it going room? frank you around still? anyway, i read the responses and looked at that pic of nathan jones and taker in the ring. they werent standing exactly next to each other. taker was a little closer. now the thing that gets me is, taker in 2001 looked almost the same height as atrain. now right before the wrestlemania where taker fought big show and atrain, there was constant feuding between jones, atrain, show, and taker. and there was a segment backstage with nathan jones and atrain. jones appeared to have roughly 3 inches on atrain, maybe 2.5 minimum. putting him about 6'9''. maybe a full 6'10'' in boots. now i would say barefoot atrain is 6'6'' maybe a strong 6'6''. with boots about 6'7.5''-6'8'' to be exact. now we all know big show is between the 6'11''-7'1'' range. that's barefoot and with boots. show had about 3-3.5 on jones, about 4 on taker, and about 4.5-5 on atrain. now depending on the boots with taker, I honestly believe that taker when wearing the lifts is anywhere from 6'8.5-6'9.5'' seeing the fact that jones wasnt much taller at all. i think jones has 1 full inch to an inch and a half on taker. but in flat boots i would give taker 6'8'' tops. and about 6'7''-6'7.5. tops barefoot. now i dont have evidence, but i live in southern wv. and we have an armory. there is an organization owned by a southern wrestler named shady. in 2005 kevin nash had made an appearance at the show. nash had faced disco inferno in the main event. nash also had a life sized stand up of himself by the door. the stand up was a legit 6'10''. and asked to see how you measure up with big sexy. im exactly 6ft even with tennis shoes, i wear
Reebok classics all the time. disco inferno was a little taller than i was in his boots, and a tad shorter after the show signing autographs. i have never met the undertaker personally, but i had nash, and i had to look straight up at nash. he wasnt the nicest of individuals either. but id say with boots nash is a legit 6'10-6'10 1/2''! 6ft is not short, and i had to look straight up at the man. my hand to god is was enormous! the tallest wrestler i have seen personally soo far. and subtract about 1.5-2 inches and you would have takers height. but i think just as everyone else, that those boots and lifts make the difference each and every single time! hollar back frank...

Rob, do you ever have nightmares of all us being in a room debating with you about heights?
Editor Rob
nah, I'm more aware of height than most people but I don't jibber jabber about it outwith this site much. Usually if other people bring it up...
or if they visit me they get measured. You don't come into my home without facing the truth of the stadiometer ;)

Moderator... We need to have Undertaker upgraded to 6'8! This guy is not getting the respect that his size deserves.. He has been billed 6'9 or 10 since the 80's.. and 90's and 2000's.. so wssup now? why would he shrink? thats bogus of all the downgraders.

he was never 6'9 or 6'10 they gave him a fw inches

Taker pretty much never steps over the top rope, Kane; however, does it everytime he makes an "official" entrance. Nearly all the time.

Kama mustafaa has been billed between 6'8 and 6'6. most likley his real height is 6'4-6'5.
look at him with Largest love machine Viscera, not to mention. the only guys who can step over the top rope have all stood 6'5 and above.
Agreed. I think when he was Papa Shango he had some pretty hefty boots that may have made him 6'5" or 6'6" which is why he was able to step so easily over the top rope. The WWE got new rings shortly after the Mankind and Undertaker Hell in a Cell match. If you notice, they bounce more and the ropes are higher and much more sturdy. Pre-2000 the ring was rougher and the ropes were closer together and much more loose, which I think made it easier for people like Charles Wright and Test for example to step over the top rope. Now pretty much the only guys that do it are Big Show, Khali, sometimes Kane and once in a blue moon Undertaker.
Derek said on 26/Jul/08
Red- Wright had a good inch or two on the Rock. No 6'3" guy could step over the top rope like he did.
Frank said on 26/Jul/08
Red, Wright was taller than the Rock and i seen Wright in Person in Street clothes he looked about 6ft 4
Ray said on 26/Jul/08
Yes, While Taker had around an inch on ALbert, I believe Albert's footwear was suspect (lifts). Like you said Tuga, if Taker is in the 6'6" area then that would downgrade other wrestlers as well - especially the big men which I have said before and will say again if he keeps getting downgraded.
Red said on 26/Jul/08
Greg, Charles Wright is not more than 6
Red said on 26/Jul/08
tuga, I agree with neary all of your estimations, but I think UT was max 6

Taker at under 6'7 automatically puts Khali and Big Show under 7 feet.
6'8 prime, 6'7,5 today.
tuga said on 25/Jul/08
Taker is no less than 6'8 peak, a 6'6 1/2 taker would make big show 6'10 1/2 and khali 6'11 1/2 today etc etc etc...
A-train is the Holy Graal of taker downgraders, legit 6'8 akebono has also little advantage over Atrain and even big show had only around 4 inches on him at around the same time so footware is a BIG FACTOR here.
Every other comparison with big men like nash, big show, khali, nathan jones point to at least 6'8 taker.

Danimal says on 25/Jul/08
JBL is not over 6'6" and probably slightly under that (same height as A-Train) and we know how little height Taker had on A-Train. Taker today is floating in the 6'6.5" range. PEAK height he was over 6'7" for sure and quite possibly just shy of 6'8".
Yea whatever, Albert was NOT below 6'6"!

i ve been a keen follower of wwe and wwf since 1991. taker always looked 6'8" to me. in his prime he looked really muscular. now a days not that much. but still is the one and only phenom.

I agree. Lex Luger was a legit 6'3" and had Sting by MAX 1".
Rikashiku said on 25/Jul/08
In 2005 pics and segments. Taker has had 2-3 inches on bradshaw.
aswell as kane over bradshaw.
JBL peak height looks around 6'6-6'5. he has been billed around 6'7 and he isnt looking very tall as he used to be now.
and also take into consideration that taker doesn't wear thick footware wheras others do.
remember lance storm? he really is 6'0 and yet other wrestlers looked towering on him.
also look at undertaker pillowfighting cousin sal and how much taller he is than the host who is 5'11.
Taker had to of been 6'8 for his peak height. looking at him now i say barley over 6'6, 6'7?
and in that Greg helms pic. Gregory is closer to the camera and its facing downwards. how do i know?
you can see the ground duhh.
Ray said on 25/Jul/08
I also think Crush/Adams was 6'5" and also think JBL is around that height.
Ray said on 25/Jul/08
IMO Undertaker has minimum 2" on JBL and more closer to 3" even with JBL's footwear advantage.
Alex2 said on 25/Jul/08
Ola, Sting is a legit 6'2" I bet thats because Warrior was wearing bigger boots or something, I bet all my money Sting is at least 6'2" and if not a little more.
Vegas said on 25/Jul/08
cmon guys common sense sometimes, look at the size of undertakers head in comparison to jbls and look how much "bulkier" taker is compared to jbl, jbl is no smaller than 280lb and taker has 100lb on him in that photo
Click Here is a much fairer jbl/undertaker comparison, jbl has about a 0.6-0.7" footwear advantage there (he is actually wearing the same cowboys as in the photo greg posted) taker is wearing these boots
Click Here i haven't seen enough of warrior and sting together to make any sort of judgement, photos from the 1980s are inconclusive as sometimes sting looks taller other times warrior, sting was billed taller when they tagged in the 1980s but that has little relevance, sting looks a tad taller here but its not a great video to compare heights

Atoadaso said on 25/Jul/08
In the pic with JBL, the camera is slanted in Undertaker's favor (look at the alignment of the door), and Undertaker is in front giving him an advantage. Also, JBL is probably closer to 6'5". Undertaker looks about 6'7.5" to me.
Clay said on 24/Jul/08
Uh oh for all you downgraders. Even if JBL is only 6'5'' Taker is looking AT LEAST 6'8/6'9 there.

John Bradshaw is a big man, I saw him in the SmackDown! Tapings. He is about 6'7"

Anonymous said on 23/Jul/08
Taker is a big guy but there is no way he is 6'10. He only looks 2 inches taller than JBL and JBL being 6'5 or 6'6 puts UT at 6'7 or 6'8 tops.
Frank said on 23/Jul/08
Crush was probably closer to 6ft 5 and he might have worn lifts @ times ??
I seen him look a couple of inches shorter than Taker and in that one Stare down he looked very close to Taker
KingNick said on 23/Jul/08
I say Crush was 6'5" or 6'6". UT looks to have a minimum of 2" on him and this is when UT had nearly flat boots. (see staredown at 3:40 mark)
Click HereIn a funny side note, this match was when I realized how tall UT is. Not his EXACT height but I started watching wrestling in late 95, so I would rent all the old videos to learn about Undertaker, who was my favorite. I never payed attention to the ring announcers so I didn't realize just how big UT was until I saw him stand against Crush who I knew was huge and thought beforehand was bigger than UT.
It's amazing, does anyone else notice every time I post the Undertaker quote of him saying he's 6'8" someone else comes on here and thinks he's 6'10"??
Unis, I'm a HUGE UT fan, one of the biggest, trust me. But Undertaker himself has said he's 6'8". I'm not going to bother posting it again, I've posted it like 8 times in the past 2 months, scroll down and look for it if you're interested.
Vegas said on 23/Jul/08
crush aka brian adams was never 6'7, he wasn't taller than 6'5 imo; google videos of him next to nash and big show in wcw and he is dwarfed by those guys around 1998
if adams was 6'7 sid was at least 6'8.5" tall
Click Here if memory serves me correct scott hall aka razor ramon was the exact same height as crush in a staredown in the early 1990s and lex luger was not that much shorter standing next to him in 1994. crush was still as huge guy but he never looked 6'7

Rikashiku: here's the video of Taker backstage at UFC 42; you will see around when they all are standing for a picture that Undertaker is the tallest and has Sylvia by 2-3" for sure and geez possibly even a tad more if Taker puts his head straight; Taker wore a work boot around this time; I would think Sylvia has sneakers on:

Yeah, Tim Sylvia @ 6-8 is a JOKE. He trains around where I live. My little cousin who is 12 saw him @ the mall and went up to him. He told him he was tall and asked him how tall he was. Tim said "80 inches". My cousin asked him how tall that was in feet and inches and Tim told him to go to summer school lmfao.

well its about taker with Bam Neely who is billed at 6'11 but looks 6'6 or 6'5.
UT in the ring with him looked just about 2 inches taller.
also the fight with Festus, Festus standing 6'6 or less. he was with snoop dogg and snoop almost looked taller.
UT had over an inch over Festus.
6'7 easy. he does look like his posture has suffered.

Alex- Andre was suppsedly measured at 6'9" by the coroner in 1993, so if that's the case, a 6'10" Andre in 1987 is very possible. He did have Hogan at that point by about 4"-4.5", putting Hogan at 6'5.5"-6'6".
As far as peak, he had him by at least 6 inches. Andre was nothing under 7'0" at his peak.
Danimal said on 17/Jul/08
Alex says on 16/Jul/08
At WM 3 Andre looked 4 inches taller than Hogan. A peak Andre could have had 6 inches on a peak Hogan.
YET, a broken down (hunched back, buckled knee) Andre had 2" on a legite 6'8"-6'9" Mane in 1990 (3 years AFTER WM3). In reality if Hogan was only 6'5" in 1987, Andre had at least 5" on him.
Height Measurement, you sure like to write A LOT. Try separating your thoughts into paragraphs (MORE readable that way) and NO, Viscera was not 6'9". He was once billed at 6'6". That was his MAX height. A peak Taker (1999) had 1-2" on him.

Snitsky did look the same height or shorter than Roethlisberger.

Ola, look at Vegas's first video with Hogan and Andre in 1980, If Hogan was prime 6'4, then what was Andre there? 6'7"? I could agree with a 6'10-6'11 peak Andre.
Scott B. said on 15/Jul/08
Taker was 6'8 Prime and 6'7 today Barefoot. HHH lookes to be 6'3.
Danimal said on 15/Jul/08
In that 1980 video of Hogan/Andre and Vince, more than one thing is clear. First of all, Hogan had about 4"-5" on Vince, where as in 2002-2005 he had about 1-2"". Secondly, Andre had at least 5" on Hogan, but Andre never appeared to stand as straight at Hogan did back then. I personally believe if Andre still fully straight, that height difference would have been a cool 6", putting Andre at around 7'0", or 6'11.5" circa 1980, which would have fit in nicely with the pic with him and Wilt circa 1983-1984.

Height measure, your new to this site and i'd just like you to consider watching some of the videos/pictures posted in height comparison. WWE does not bill their wrestlers their ligit height.

Here we go guys, this is the magazine I keep talking about. It's called "UNDERTAKER SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S ISSUE" released in 2003. The entire magazine talks about him out of character. The dead man himself, including some others, refer to him as being 6'8" :
" ... as this 6'8" Texas native began to fill out to around 280-290 pounds." Jim Ross, pg. 4
"... I think they forget that I'm six-foot-eight and 300 pounds." Mark Callaway/Undertaker page 50
On the first page there's an opening paragraph describing Undertaker, it doesn't give an author but here's an excerpt: " ... but there's only been one Phenom -- a 6-foot-8, 300-pound hybrid of agility, power and speed known as the Undertaker."
Now granted, this doesn't PROVE anything but it does say a lot when the WWE (WWF at the time) went out of the way to dedicate an entire magazine to the Undertaker, referring to him by his real name and constantly referring to him as being 6'8" and 300 pounds when on TV he was being billed 6'10" and 328lbs.
He could have possibly loss height since then. I can buy a 6'7" Undertaker, I think that's realistic. Personally, I still put him at 6'8" just due to any time he actually stands up straight.
Here's a pic with Andre the Giant and 7'1" Wilt Chamberlin:

If there is anyone else on this site that has any points they want to argue against me about anybodies height then try me.. and I'll have the proof. So come on.. Lets Hear them? This height list is the real legit deal
Height Measurement, welcome to the site! I respect your opinions but I do have some disagreements.
I've posted this tons of times but no one seems to read it :>( it's from a WWE magazine a few years ago where Undertaker talks out of character, saying he's 6'8", along with others:

Taker is 6'8 and used to be 6'8.5 . Nash is 6'9.5 and used to be 6'10 flat. Basically....barefoot in the morning there is somewhere around an inch or an inch and a half difference between Taker and nash. 6'7.5 just seems a wee bit too low, i work with a 6'7" guy in the shopping centre i do security in and taker looks bigger height wise.

Height measurement gave Big Bossman 6-6, lol.

Height Measurement: check this out, Abyss is listed on TNA's OFFICIAL WEBSITE AT 6'5" 350lbs!! They maybe didn't want to list that? but that is probably the truth!
Ray said on 14/Jul/08
Height Measurement: Triple H is not 6'4" but 6'2" IMO and since you say Chuck Palumbo was around the same height equals 6'2" for him also. Triple H may be closer to 6'4" in his boots - give him that and same with palumbo but not barefoot. Tyson Tonko who's around 6'4-maybe 6'5" IMO is around the same height as Abyss; no way IMO Abyss is 6'8" - I say 6'5" and stretching it for argument sake I would possibly say 6'6" at the very highest height for him if he stands real tall. Hogan said himself he used to be 6'7" btu after surgeries he's now around 6'4" - he could have lost 2" due to surgeries and hip replacement he has. My good friend lost around an inch due to a bad back injury and he's only 28.

Click Here - Good rare staredown with Kane and The Undertaker (Masked Kane and Biker Taker) Lots of staredown face to face scenes throughout.
mike said on 13/Jul/08
andre the stood next to a guy during an interview,and the guy made the claim that he was 6,5" ,but andre only had him by 5 inches.
mike said on 13/Jul/08
andre the giant was never 7,4" more like 6,10".
Alex2 said on 13/Jul/08
Danimal your post about Undertaker makes NO seaninnse, Thankyou King Nick so much, Taker looks freaky huge in that video. Taker could have even been 6'8.5" peak from jusging with Nash there. Today he aint below 6'7" and still likely around 6'8"
Clay said on 13/Jul/08
Hahaha Bam Neely 6'7'' when he was an inch, inch and a half taller than HHH.
Alex2 said on 13/Jul/08
One thing that struck Me with Snitsky is that recently he had a backstage staredown with CM Punk who I think is 6'1" and did look to have 6-7" on him, weird.
Domo said on 13/Jul/08
Ray, Abyss is billed at 6'10''. Mike Tenay on TNA tells people wrestlers "real" heights and Abyss is 6'8''. Me and my 6'7'' friend met him and taker and they are both 6'8'' max
Alex2 said on 13/Jul/08
Greg, I never said that Gonzalez was 7'4" I said that "Danimal" mst think he is if he thinks Taker was only 6'7 or less peak, He was bare minimum 7'6" and also had bigger footware than Undertaker (There was about 9-10" difference between them) And I hear Abyss is 6'5.5"
Ray said on 13/Jul/08
I think Giant Gonzalez was confirmed at 7'6" in Guiness for tallest wrestler ever, wasn't he? I'd buy 7'6" for him. Height Measurement: valiant effort; always like looking at height lists. The 2 that stuck out to me were Snitsky and Abyss who IMO are not really close to their billed heights of 6'8". I would say both are around 6'5". Chuck Palumbo 6'6.5" - wasn't he billed at 6'4" recently?
Ray said on 13/Jul/08
I'd say Hogan was around 6'6" at peak and in 2001-2002 when Taker took the title from him for the 2nd time Hogan was around 6'4" or maybe slightly lower around 6'3.5" which he is today as listed here. (BTW, Taker is the only one to hold two 1-2-3 pins over Hogan as far as I know). Back in the day when Taker faced Hogan in 1991 he looked to have 2" on him and Taker had what I remember 4" on him in 2001-2002. It seems ok to me.

Please Ola, do your research, hogan was more 6'5 1/2 peak, if you want to talk 6'5 its one thing but 6'4??? Don
Clay said on 12/Jul/08
Not a very valid ''fact'' there Ola. You're no better than the Guinness book of records.
tuga said on 12/Jul/08
Danimal, please explain if taker was around 6'6 by 2001 how did he have 4 inches on hogan? Was hogan 6'2 in 2001-2?
Sid had close to 3 inches on hogan by 1992, hogan who had still same advange over piper in 1992 as in the eighties, so a below 6'8 taker will make sid max 6'7 and hogan around 6'4:
Click HereTaker is only 1 and half inch shorter than 6'10 nash also on their staredown.
If taker is not 6'8 today how tall do you think kane, big show, khali and nathan jones are ?
Alex2 said on 12/Jul/08
Drexyl, yea like when was the last time he stood straight lol? He NEVER stands straight when hes doing his entraance etc, even when he chokeslams he always has his knees bent.
Alex2 said on 12/Jul/08
Danimal watch This Is My Yard DVD, Throughut that DVD Taker looks huge, and Taker was only 6'7" peak then what was Gonzalez? 7'4"?
OOFatman said on 11/Jul/08
Danimal, I agree with you on your estimate of 'Taker's height; although 6-7 might still be reachable for him imo.
Drexyl said on 11/Jul/08
I don't really believe that The Undertaker has lost any height over the years. He's just lost a lot of weight.
He's quite a lot more lean than he was in the late 90s and early 00s and I think that makes him look like a smaller man. They used to bill him at 330 lbs and at one point he may have been every bit of it. Now I think he's billed at 299 lbs and I doubt he's anywhere near that. When you see him lock up with the likes of Randy Orton and Edge, he doesn't look that much 'thicker' than they do, and he actually looks skinny next to guys like Batista and Kane.
I still firmly believe he's a good 6,8" when he stands up straight though. He's just a much leaner Taker than we've seen in the past.
tuga said on 11/Jul/08
Click HereJT, nash has absolute max 2 inches on sid as you can tell from the video, taker has half an inch on sid, so that video with nash taller 1 and half an inch is no news, it all comes together.
Danimal says on 11/Jul/08
Taker was never over 6'8" and I believe he was only 6'7" and change at his peak and has slipped below 6'7" since around 2001.
What?? Taker still looks 6'8 TODAY, he had 4 inches on hogan in 2002, was almost the same height as nathan jones, is no way shorter more than 4 inches than big show or 5 than khali, looks same height as kane eventough kane has bigger footware (see kane page, I posted evidence there).
A 6'7 peak taker would make sid 6'6 1/2 and hogan max 6'4 in 1992??
Click HereHogan lost height, problaby 2 inches but by 1992 he had no way less advantage over piper as he had in the eighties as you can see in the video.
Danimal said on 11/Jul/08
Greg says on 9/Jul/08
I couldn't help but see Danimal tell Grace that wrestlers aren't their billed height.. My first question to you is how do you know? and my second comment is that their height listed on this website may not be accurate either.. But what are we talking about? We see a phenom, a hugh man like The Undertaker and claim that he is not what he says he is which is 6'9. How could you look at the man and not think for a minute that he is not that tall. We see what 6'6 is we see what Test looks like, A-Train and etc.. so if he stands taller then them from what I've seen that how tall you think they are? 6'4 6'5 Hell No! this is getting stupid.. We need to have him come on this site, and I wish I could bring him on here
How do I know? Because I have been posting on this site for over 3.5 years regularly and have analyzed every single pic/video and compared him and other wrestlers next to guys that I know are a legite height.
Taker was never over 6'8" and I believe he was only 6'7" and change at his peak and has slipped below 6'7" since around 2001.

KingNick says on 9/Jul/08
Dunno if anyone has posted this but here is a video of the Diesle / Undertaker staredown Click Here
The problem is that we can't see their feet in the video. We know that Taker and Sid were basically the same height in their stare downs and we know that Nash as Diesel was clearly taller (at least 2-3 inches) than Sid.
KingNick said on 10/Jul/08
Vegas, according to W I K I P E D I A the Pope drew 93,682 . According to Hulk Hogan's Autobiography (take this with a grain of salt) it was less than that, so I'm not quite sure.
Paul, welcome back! Good to have ya!
Greg, your welcome man! LOL Here it is again just for you
Click Here I kind of found it by accident, I typed in "Undertaker Staredown" or something like that and it came up. On that same page is links to a Raw match between UT and Bret Hart, a good watch if anyone is interested.
Frank, I believe you, Todd always seemed short to me anyway. Could you post the pic?
I tried looking in the Guinness Book of World Records website in regards to Wrestlemania III, but I couldn't find any results. Personally I think the number is legit. Could they get away with lying about an indoor attendance record? The reason it may not be so publicized, IMO, is because of classification. People may dispute whether or not wrestling is an actual sporting event.
Frank said on 10/Jul/08
The guy who did that interview was Todd Petengil and he was wearing major lifts I met him and have a picture with him and i was about 3 to 4 inches taller than him and in that interview was looked taller than Paull Bearer who was about 5ft 10....So these guys can wear lifts to boost them 3 or more inches
I can post that picture with me and Todd if anyone would like to see it
Paul said on 10/Jul/08
Thanks for that link KingNick, hadn't seen that video for a long time... and yeah I'm back. Can't comment on the 93,000 with certainty but it could be one of the few claims in wrestling that could be legit.
Vegas said on 10/Jul/08
yeah dave meltzer says the guy that owned the pontiac silverdome (or someone high up working there) told him there were only 78,000 at WM3, the problem i have with that is that the seating capacity in the stands alone in the pontiac was 80,300 in 1987 and that wouldn't take into account anybody on the field. personally i don't believe there were over 93,000 there (that was just a gimmick to attain the record attendance) but it looked closer to 85,000 than the 78,000 be spoken, the pope attracted something like 97,000+ a few months later to the pontiac didn't he, or maybe i am wrong??
KingNick said on 9/Jul/08

KingNick said on 9/Jul/08
I got an interesting question for you guys. It's not about heights but about exaggeration in wrestling.
Wrestlemania III has always been advertised as the largest in door attendance record at 93,173. But I've read reports that number was actually exaggerated and it was really around 75 - 80,000 (Here's a shot of Wrestlmania III
Click Here)
Relatively undisputed is Summerslam 1992 where they had about 80,000 (I couldn't find a shot of Summerslam but here's a shot of Wembley Stadium
Click Here)
What do you guys think? You think WM III was exaggerated?
Anthony said on 9/Jul/08
When watching him in matches he's no way near 6"10. when he was in a mathc with randy orton who is 6"4 he looked 2-3 inches taller max.
Shawn Michaels said on 9/Jul/08
I know a guy that taker told him he was 6'8 at an autograph signing...so in boots he's probably 6'9+
Alex2 said on 9/Jul/08
Wrong again! Tyler Mane is at bare minimum 6'8 and More Likely 6'9", look how tall he is with Nash! Trust me Ola he was NOT below 6'8!
KingNick said on 9/Jul/08
Grace, this is my post from a few days ago, pls read:
KingNick says on 2/Jul/08
Again, read my post from not too long ago. Undertaker SAID he was 6'8". I'm all for him being tall but I have to be fair, why would he really be 6'9" if the man himself said he was 6'8"? Here's the post again:

I never met Hogan Danimal but i have seen Charles Wright he walked right by me to go into Madison Square Garden about 13 years ago and i remember his height did not impress me 6ft 4 topps but i can assume Wright and Hogan were very close in height
Danimal said on 8/Jul/08
Frank says on 7/Jul/08
Yes Papa Shango was billed @ 6FT 8 like Hogan and when Raw first started ther use to show there height and weight on tv and one time when KAMA wrestled they had him @ 6FT 4 but after that one time they billed him higher...I seen him in street clothes and 6ft 4 for him is about right
Hope your not implying that Hogan was only 6'4" in his prime Frank. Godfather was billed at 6'6" for quite sometime. He was 6'4". Just like Big Bossman.

the rock is 6'2 according to this site so whoever said he was 6'6 is lyin

Danimal said on 6/Jul/08
Grace, wrestlers are NOT their billed heights.
Ray said on 6/Jul/08
Michelle McCool seems like a legit taller girl - probably not too far off her 5'10" billing and that may even be correct! Could it be - a billing for a person on the current WWE roster that is actually their billed height? I think so. Looks like Take and her are on a sidewalk and barrign a bad finishing job, I'd say the ground level is pretty smooth and even; this photo is one that may very well prove Taker is still just about as tall as he's been - still close to 6'8" TODAY.
Alex2 said on 6/Jul/08
Danimal, not all wrestlers are inflated, some are actually downgraded, e.g.
Mark Henry, Randy Orton, John Cena, all are their billed heights and with Henry probaably being taller.
Danimal said on 5/Jul/08
Anonymous says on 5/Jul/08
taker with michelle mccol who is 5'10.5

That picture was posted well over a year ago on this site. We cannot see the ground level to know if it is even. If it is, she is NO WAY 5'10.5". BTW, Taker looks horrible in that pic. VERY old looking and thinner than he had been in years, if ever!!
Danimal said on 5/Jul/08
Grace doesn't realize that wrestlers are not their billed height. Most newcomers to this site do not realize that people and especially wrestlers are not their billed heights. Rule of thumb is a 2-3" height increase for pretty much EVERY SINGLE wrestler's height.
Alex2 said on 5/Jul/08
Yea, actually I remeber at the last Royal Rumble Michael Cole described Undertaker s "6 foot 11" LOL Cole is the one who tends to exagurate the heights the most, he often refers to Khali as 7'4" also.
Frank said on 5/Jul/08
Grace i seen the Godfather outside Madison Square Garden and he looked about 6ft 4 he's no way 6ft 6 Also Charles Wright looked about the Same Height as Snoop Dogg who is listed @ 6ft 3 to 6ft 4
Alex said on 5/Jul/08
They have tried to pass UT of as 6'11 and even 6'0 at times but almost all his career he was at 6'10. Today they still do that and have Kane at 7'0 while Kane isn't 2 inches taller. More like an inch.
Scott B said on 4/Jul/08
I met the Undertaker a few years ago when the WWE was in Phoenix. He looked between 6'7 and 6'8. There is no way he is below 6'7 Barefoot. Also, I think he is taller than Kane. Look at Kanes Boot's verses Takers.
Alex said on 4/Jul/08
I do remember someone saying UT was 6'6-6'7 and then Monsoon said no way, hes at least 6'9 which was what they billed him at first. It was soon changed to 6'10 1/2.
Danimal said on 4/Jul/08
Frank says on 2/Jul/08
Why would he tell me 6ft 9 when he was being billed @ 6ft 10 and 6ft 10.5 by Jim Ross?? me and him are about the same age there was no reason to lie there was nobody around when i was talking to him other than Paul Bearer and my Friend ?? He looked 6ft 9 but i doubt he is
Actually, he was originally billed at 6'9"-6'10" when he made his intro. Then they put him at 6'10.5" (with shoes and his hat!!). I also remember a 6'11" listing for a short period too (around 1993-1994).
KingNick said on 3/Jul/08
Ray, check out my comment below from July 2, UT refers to himself as 6'8" / 6'9" . I'm glad to see so many people on here all for UT being tall! Finally! :>)
Alex2 said on 3/Jul/08
Lol I meant Rob
Ray said on 3/Jul/08
Did anyone notice in the "This Is My Yard" DVD that Pat Patterson said something along th lines of "we got this kid up here and he's about 6 foot 8" - he said about 6 foot 8 for sure. Now taht would tell me Take was around or was 6'8" at that time which sounds reasonable. Pat Patterson also could not really quite have remembered his height and just said that - who knows but I would think he may remember this. So Taker IMO probably was 6'8" at peak and I really don't think or see that he lost much height - if any at all. SO today Take is no less than 6'7" and is still possibly around the 6'8" mark - it is also evident from his staredowns with everyone. If he is lower than 6'7" then you have to question everyone else in the WWE's heights - don't forget that if you downgrade someone then all others become downgraded - especially if you're talking about the big guys.
Alex2 said on 3/Jul/08
Id go with 6'8" peak for Taker but no less, if he was only 6'7" peak I doubt he would have said 6'9" in person, maybe the reason he said 6'9"-6'9" is because hes in between the two? Does anyone think he could have been like maybe 6'8.5" peak prior to why he says 6'9"? Or maybe it's just an inch of fibbing? Ron why don'y you ban spam posts like Anonymous's below?

Frank, he could have been giving you his height in shoes; I know MANY people that do.
tuga said on 2/Jul/08
Ok, go to nash page, see how well taker stacks to nash, 1 and 1/2 inches, a 6'10 nash makes taker 6'8 1/2, nash could even be a little above 6'10.
Also more recently he looked almost as tall as 6'10 nathan jones, even today he looks no way less than 6'8 next to khali.
Alex2, kane was barelly taller than taker even with monster lifs, the most he can be is same height as taker.
Taker
KingNick said on 2/Jul/08
Frank, I've wondered about that too I honestly don't know. What year did you meet him? The only thing I can think of is that in his early career they flipped between 6'9" and 6'10" a lot, so maybe he was saying a billed height. I don't know tho but I definitely believe you that he said 6'9".
Alex2, I have the This is My Yard too, no to be nit picky, but UT refers to himself as being "six foot eight, six nine"
Check it out at the 3:05 mark

Alex2 said on 2/Jul/08
I believe Kane could have been pushing 6'9" or still is, look at him with Jamie Nobel, but I wouldnt go above 6'8" for Taker, and is this magazine report legit? Other than that, Taker has never said 6'8" out of person, he says 6'9" and on the WWF This Is My Yard DVD he says "Im 6'9"
