Im willing to bet Gonzalez had at least 2" in his boots for boosted height. Watching that undertaker vs gonzalez match, taker's shoes are really flat and gonzalez looks like hes wearing high heels lol.

Id say Orton is abig jerk. Lesnar is a jerk, Kane is cool and also Big show is very down to earth i believe.

omar g; from my own personal experiences both batista and ric flair were not nice in person, i have heard that john morrison (aka johnny nitro) can be a bit of a d**k at times and that jbl is horrible (i have never met either so i don't know for sure). most others i have met were great but especially the likes of matt morgan, ron simmons, mick foley, steve austin, john cena, bob orton, kid kash who were really down to earth. The rock seemed a great guy in person taking time out to sign autographs even though his security people were trying to usher him out of the building. tajiri and funaki we only met for a short while but they are completely crazy (in a good way), i would love to go for a drink with those guys it would be an experience....

omar g, I met Rico too. Right before he was released. Me and some friends were waiting outside the meadowlands to try to get autographs. Rico was the only one who stopped and took the time to sign. There were about 50 people outside and he got every one and chatted with them a bit, he was real cool.

Frank your right he was. If you guys find the match on Youtube between UT and Yankem, look carefully at the heel on his right boot as the two are squaring up. It doesn't look quite right.

Frank - thank you! Not only that, but aside from Kane's thick heel, I think he has an internal lift as well TODAY. Maybe I'm the minority when it comes to that but does anyone else think so?

1. Both have thick boots on.
2. UT is closer to the camera in every shot.
If you believe UT is taller, please refer to the pictures of UT and Yankem from back in the day when Yankem was not being "pushed" so he wasn't likely wearing lifts and had at least an inch on the very popular UT. Some please post those pics, I can't find them.

slyvester turkay was 6'6. or close to it. not his billed either.
mike nox was billed at 6'4. he was shorter than 6'6-6'7 test by 3 inches and shorter than 6'5 randy orton.
i think he is more 6'3-6'4.
i dont think anyone is dumb enuff to bill a 6'6 man as a 7 footer.
i like the idea of taker being 6'9 though like he was on wcw

taker was NEVER 6'8 in my opinion he was 66.25 peak and 6'6 now. kane is prolly 6'6.75 and show was a good 6'11.5 show honestly looks 7 foot especially when u consider his biulky build makes him look shhorter but if he was really 7 foot how come the wwe had him billed as 7 foot for a while instead of the 7'2 they had him as in the beggining a while bACK

Nice video Big Show; it looked like all 3 men had the same type of boot on too. It looked like 3-4" difference between Take and Show btu camera angle wasn't the best. I'd say roughly 4" difference between the 2 and maybe even today. Could be a shade less though and maybe a shade more but less if anything.

I was watching the Rumble last night an i swear Undertaker had to duck his head thrugh the rather low entrance door, bui only him Big V, Kane and Khali had to, lol Khali looked like he was on his knees getting through it lol. and he stacked up to Khali pretty well also, i saw no more than 5" MAX, probably less.

Interesting find there Big Show. It looks like at least a 4 inch difference (pretty much how ~ 6'8" Akebono measured up to Big Show), given the size of Big Show's head. Big Show has a pretty wide and relaxed stance though. Taker's stance is narrow at the end when the camera pulls back - not sure if it was the same during the stare down.

Because Diesel height is 6' 10". Undertaker is much shorter than Diesel.

People still say 2 inches, well look at the height of Taker's eye, if the gap between taker and diesel is 2 inches or over, then undertaker's eye must be atleast 1 inch tall fully opened LOL which is freakish even for a man of his size.
The gap in the photo I posted looks like 1.2 inches, but given the fact that the camera level is a bit too low, the real gap should be a little more, say around 1.5 inches

JT, I agree the camera height will take away some of the height difference but this is the same camera height we see in any WCW match when you compare heights.
Hogan did not wear those type of boots in the Thunder video, the difference in height in the video is clearly less than the difference shown in the foto you posted.

The high camera angle tends to shrink the actual height advantage though. Nash usually looked no less than 5 inches taller than Hogan in the WCW days. Here

makes sense ray.
i was looking at a diesel vs undertaker at WM and diesel had over 3-4 inches on taker and both standing up straight, cept nash had his head raised abit, so lower it little and it would be 2-3 inches.
but remember, most wrestlers wear/wore lifts to appear bigger. so some in the ring arent good quality.

Here's a screen capture of Nash and Hogan. Nash is straight, no bent knees or back or slouching neck or shoulders, no excuses. The gap looks a little over 4 inches.
Hogan was wearing flat soled boots, no cowboy boots - you can check the thunder video posted below and see for yourself.

Red, I compare the heights from this video as the camera swings to the middle of both men giving a fair impression of their heights, but of course there are the factors that the footage doesnt show and none of us will know about such as the footwear, how wide their feet are apart, tip-toe or flat feet, knees bent etc
The camera swings during 2:48, you have to pause where 2:47 becomes 2:48, that is where the camera is dead middle. Stop fudging the "evidence" in your favour. I see blue and you on purpose say you see red, there is no point in debating this if all you will do is make excuses and look at what is there as fairly as possible. I dont see a 2 inch + gap. All I see a 1 - 1.5 inch gap and this is with Diesel's high volume hair in the mix so its difficult to see what level the top of his head actually is.

The 2" makes Nash 6'10" and Taker 6'8" at that time, which seems right to me. Both men may have lost .5" height so maybe 6'9.5" Nash and 6'7.5" Taker today.

Red; why do you believe Nash was 6'10.5" when he was listed in basketball at 6'10 flat and was 2.5-3" shorter than Big Show both in WCW and in the WWE. I know Wight was listed at 7'1 in college basketball and claims it himself but from my own personal experiences i cannot see Wight at over 7 foot at any time even with excellent posture
by the way great find on the videos, the bit with nash and kareem standing together should be on those videos somewhere, once that footage is shown here it will finally put to rest those guys over on nashs page who claimed nash was 6'6 max, lol

by the way great find on the videos, the bit with nash and kareem standing together should be on those videos somewhere, once that footage is shown here it will finally put to rest those guys over on nashs page who claimed nash was 6'6 max, lol

At 2:48 UT is slightly closer to the cam, at 2:47 the distance looks equal and the difference is more than 2 inches in any case

I am satisfied with the footages and fotos seen on here, my estimations of peak height in barefeet are:
Undertaker = 6'8 (minimal)
Kevin Nash/Diesel = 6'9.25
Sid = 6'7.5
Kane = 6'8
Big show = 7 foot
Hogan = 6'6 (in the late 70's)

Red, well if you choose to be childish then you either are a troll or just incapable of taking in facts when making estimations.
8:40 on the thunder video, nash is straight as he can be, knees not bent, shoulders upright, head looking level. While hogan is slightly tilting his head forward, max of 5 inches. Less if Hogan stood completely straight.
How about 9:27??? Nash's head totally upright, nothing relaxed at all as he talks with his mic, and Hogan standing straight. No more than 4 inches between the 2.
This is why I stick by the 4-5 inch range to allow for error.
-------------
That Undertaker & Diesel staredown video shows the height gap change because of 2 reasons.
- movement of the wrestlers
- movement of the camera.
The most accurate part of the video footage is 2:48 min mark, because A) both wrestlers appear to be standing straight, B) the camera is dead middle so no advantage to either man. From this point I see 1 inch difference. But I grant that the camera height is slightly low so the real gap maybe a tiny bit larger, around 1.5 inches at most.
Anyway, I am done discussing the difference in height with you if you continue to act childish.
For the rest in this forum, I think the problem with people who rate Nash is because he comfortably looks tall, his body frame is larger than the Undertaker, and often has much "bigger" hair LOL - Undertaker's shoulders are less built than Nash's and hair is often flat so doesnt carry his height aswell as Nash does.

JT - nice photo you captured. We dont know the effect of height lift the boots each man is wearing, but the gap looks like under 2 inches which is what I have always thought it would be....
Looks like a 2 inch advantage right there, plus whatever extra Nash gains from narrowing his stance. Given the high camera angle, Nash appears a little taller in the pic since he is slightly farther from the camera. IMO, still more than a 2 inch height advantage for Nash, who's always worn boots with relatively small heels.

Red - You are now dismissing facts and replacing it with conjecture. " Nash stands very relaxed in your vid and it looks more than 5 inches"
Just how is Nash compromising his height because he appears relaxed? All he does is hold his mic or put his hands on his hips. YOU seem to OMIT that his knees are not bent, his shoulders are not slouching and his head level. Nash could have tilted his head down at the shorter Hogan but he did not. He just has good posture throughout the video.
When the 2 men stand level distance from the camera, the gap is at its minimal, at around 4 to 5 inches. Nash early on the video stands several inches further away from the camera so the height gap would appear more than 4-5 inches to you.

Alex2, I have a picture here at home from an old wrestling program from 1985/1986, with Uncle Elmer and Hilbilly. Uncle Elmer has a good 4-5" on Hilbilly and their feet are visible. I do not own a scanner unfortunately. Uncle Elmer was not around when Taker debuted in 1990, but Andre was still around. Too bad we never saw them stand side by side. Would have been the same height difference as was with Mane and Andre anyways.

Red, that staredown is an awful example to compare their heights. The camera is below head level, and is closer Diesel so it will making appear much bigger. You also skirt around the fact that the image is only ONE screen capture from the video footage where undertaker later straightens up and you see a much smaller gap between the 2.
You are on a mission to belittle the undertaker or something.

LOL at the lines in Red's photo. You managed to chop 2 inches off sid's dome and less than an inch off Nash's head. Also the video itself shows sid & nash moving their heads so the heights are variating. So I think your interpretation of height and the photo is a bit selective.
The camera is level with the heads of the 2 men, so it can swing behind sid or nash and the perceived heights will not change. It is only if the camera was looking from below would sid appear taller than he actually is.
It still looks like a 2.5 inch gap between the Sid & Nash. Most of the Undertaker and Sid staredowns show taker who is usually a good 0.5 inch taller than Sid. I say 1.5 - 2 inches is a more realistic gap between Undertaker and Nash during the mid-90s.
I wish people would see that 3 man tag team video on youtube, the 2 men are very close in height.

The pictures posted to compare taker and nash are horrible for accurate comparison. I also have a taped monday night raw from 1996 where they had a staredown and I remember it was less than 2 inches.

Pause at 4 seconds, you can see they are very close in hight.
Also, sid is a good measuring stick as well, you can see here that he stacks well to nash:

So difference is clearly less than 2-3 inches between taker and nash.
The pictures posted to compare taker and nash are horrible for accurate comparison. I also have a taped monday night raw from 1996 where they had a staredown and I remember it was less than 2 inches.

Pause at 4 seconds, you can see they are very close in hight.
Also, sid is a good measuring stick as well, you can see here that he stacks well to nash:

yeah, he faught as a member of the Oddities back i the late 90's. I believe he is originally from New brunswick, Canada. He looked to be about 7'1 to me, almost as tall as Silva but not quite. He palyed the uber-immortal in 300, his real name is ROBERT MAILLET

Does anyone remember a guy called Kurgen who was very close to the giant silva in height and was very mobile for a big guy. I would say he was a 7 footer??

Noway harry smith is 6'5, if he's 6'5 then jeff hardy is 6'3.
matt hardy is atleast 6'0 and jeff is taller. HS is only 2 inches taller than jeff hardy. so either 6'2 or 6'3.
undertaker looks 2-3 inches shorter than nash.

Red i have that interview on VHS with Nash & Taker and in that clip there looks like a 2 inch difference but when Taker straightens up it looks less than 2 inches....And the picture with Bundy Takers Head is tilted downward so you cant judge by that

Vegas, great pic! where do you find these things? It's weird tho, everyone looks proportioned there except Diesel he almost looks like a legit 7'. But it may be the camera angle plus he is kind of leaning up.

Lol Abyss, hes 6'5 or maybe less, i remember once he was wrestling Lance Hoyt who is believed to be a legit 6'7 and is billed 6'7 and they had a staredown and one commentator said "Lance Hoyt is bigger than Abyss by an inch or 2" lol. And yes Taker boots were flat as anything in the early 90's

Kevin Nash/Diesel 2.5 inches taller than taker? That is rediculous.
Not only has no one seen a decent collection of staredowns between the 2, but how they compare against other wrestlers like Sid, Mabel etc I dont see that much of a difference between the 2.
There is a 3 man tag team match with Diesel/HBK/Taker vs Owen Hart, Yokozuna and British Bull dog, you can see that Taker is constantly slouching but Diesel in his good posture is no more than 3 inches taller considering that stance.

That guy is between 6'3.5 and 6'4.5. Triple H seems to be around 6'2 6'2.5 in his pictures with him. Regarding the rock he is slouching but they are about the same height if he was totally standing straight. I was shocked to see batista the same height or an inch taller than him. It makes me think if batista really is around 6'3.5 6'4.

I think Harry Smith is a legit 6-5 because he is taller than Hulk Hogan in his show. brother_H most of the wrestler are slouching in his pictures that is why mosts of them look smaller.
Jeff Hardy is not even 6-1 he is at least a weak 6-0.

Quite possibly, at peak especially, but very little difference nowadays..Matt Morgan is only Billed at 1 inch taller on TNA, but popular figure thrown around is 6ft9 inches There was a height comparison photo, not so long back of some one else who was a legit 6ft9 and Matt was very similar in height....He has quite some lifts in the ring.

King Nick, stand corrected. I admit when wrong. Before Gonzales was due to join WWE rumours were he was 7'3, 7'6 in boots and 'padding'. Not being deliberately controversial, just interested peoples thoughts, is it nailed on that he's 7'6 in bare feet? Vegas, anyone!

Back to Gonzales, if you search for images of 'Jorge Gonzales' on the yahoo search engine one of the first photos you will see is of Gonzales and Harvey. If you save the image to your directory and expand it you will appreciate the size of his footwear. Remember UT was no more than 10' less than Gonzales who was at least 7'6 barefoot and probably 7'8 in the boots. Close to 6'9 for UT was probably very realistic in 1993.

Alex 2. Wrestlers have often been hugely over billed. Andre to start possible by 5-7 inches. Kane billed at 7ft when realistically 6'7. Scott Hall commentators said 6'10 when really more 6'4-6'5. Wrestlers height in my opinion is in shoes or boots so Taker in boots roughly 6'8 so only 2 inch increase.

In my gym in UK the weights are normally in KG so i convert them to lbs, i normally do 50Kg for 10-12 reps and 60-70 kg for 5-7 reps, but i would say you need a 200lb+ frame to do 300+

Alex 2, when I first joined I was doing 95lbs for 12 reps, 115 for 10, 135 for 6-8. That girl was impressive in general to lift that much but she was a big girl and was solid like I said easily over 200lbs so you gotta expect that. Now it would be very impressive to see a girl 120lbs benching 135lbs 8-10 reps.

I think if Taker was always 6'6-6'7 he would have never been built 6'10-6'11, there is clearly also less than a foot with him and 7'6-7'7 Gonzales, George, are you really that tall? If so you should be in Basketball or wrestling, wow!

Monsoon actually said 6'8-6'10, WWF at time should have plumped for 6'8. In a late match with Angle had him billed at 6'8 and Angle @ 6' flat. 8 difference. If that's the case (which I believe it is) then with Angle really being 5'10 would make Taker around 6'6. I read some magazine around 92 which had him 6'6 and was 1st place I read 6'5 for Hogan (I was genuinely shocked). That time believed billed heights and this gave me food for thought.

Yea that is impressive, ive never known a girl do that much, thats probabaly what im on at the time, i could Max 150 though easy with about 2-3 reps. I have looked it up and i dont think there has ever been a woman to break a 300lb bench, i assume i was referring to what this guy can work out with, im
retty sure he can do more, but anything over 300 is amazing, i hope ill be able to do that some day, i ve started using whey protein with my scheduel and that helps alot.

I have looked it up and i dont think there has ever been a woman to break a 300lb bench, i assume i was referring to what this guy can work out with, im

Alex 2, there is a guy I know who is 5'7 190-200lbs and benches 405 for 6-8 reps.
Myself can max out at 305lbs one time.
This is kinda impressive. Yesterday I saw some girl but she was a beefy girl easily 200-210lbs but you figured she'd be strong. She puts up 95lbs for 15 reps, then 115 for 11 reps then 135lbs for 8 reps. I've never seen a girl do that much but like I said she was big. Would be more impressive if a lean girl did that.

Sory guys, that was a big typo. I meant to say Gonzalez would have 5 inches on Khali comparing those 2 staredowns.

Jon Harris had a very brief career as a wrestler.
He apparently had no wrestling skill whatsoever and only wrestled a couple of matches. I believe the WWF actually hired him and named him Trapper John, but never used him.
There was a story on the net from a wrestler (can't remember who) where he told about Silo Sam having no clue what to do in a battle royal. He tried to eliminate people who were supposed to be last ones to go and finally they all just got tired of him and threw him out of the ring.
My guess is he was 7'2 (he has died).

I disagree JT. Taker didn't wear the ministry boots when facing Khali. Taker was slightly taller back in 1993. Maybe up to an inch or so...therefore a 1993 Gonzales would hypothetically appear a shade taller than either Khali or the more recent Taker than the comparisons suggest.

I really don't think from looking at Nick's very accurate pics and looking at Taker with 6'10 Nathan Jones and Ricky Hatton, i still think Taker is not under 6'8 today, and if he has lost any height it would be like maybe 0.25" at best

Hey Glen. I was on one of the sites where this guy listed the heights of some of the wrestler's and he listed the UT at 6'1. Do you know what site its on?
Anyway I stood next to him a few years ago. I am 5'10 and he had me by at least 9 or 10 inches. He was wearing normal tennis shoes. He is no less than 6'7 Barefoot.

Great job there Nick. If Taker's wearing his ministry boots with Khali, he'd be even taller than the 1993 Taker. In reality, Singh should be up to Gonzalez's eye level and no more, or at least a 5 inch difference.

theres about 8 inches with the gonzalez shot.
5 inches from the khali shot.
8 inches would make taker 6'11
5 would make him 6'10 if khali was 7'3
6'8 since khali is really 7'1.

Amazing. That would imply that UT is over 7'. It's a big increase on a 6'7 from you.

A new picture i made with the current Undertaker and the Giant Gonzalez. The difference in height between he and the Khali is double that with him and Gonzalez.

Here is the reference i used with both the old Undertaker and the Current i really liked that picture to i decided to do it when i saw how well the pose went with him and the Great Khali.
And here is the great khali with the giant gonzalez
Click Here
The photoshop i did was drawn from the very top of the elbow pad down. I drew the Undertakers tatoos his boots etc. Also moved Gonzalezes arm down so the tats are visable. It was definetly a project lol

sorry nick no way in the world is taker 8 inches taller than cena, at most cena is 6 inches shorter than taker, 2:10 is the perfect example of the height difference between taker and cena, i saw with my own eyes how a 6'1.5-6'2 man measures up to undertaker in streets and it was very similiar to how cena and taker measure up in that video

JT and Red, love you guys to death, but I just see more umph in Albert's boots.

I posted a ton of links not too long ago with UT in street clothes. Scroll down you can see for yourself how tall he is.

Ok, so the downgrading, have any of you bothered to watch taker and albert ( a train) matches, taker has more height on albert in other matches than in that staredown, same thing comparing albert to big show, have you seen albert huge boots?
But albert is surely very tall, compare him next to vince and peak hogan:

Yes, albert has more height on vince than hogan, cleary!
Taker basically the same height as nathan jones, Jones must be 6

That's right Red. Albert's boots are on the left. I did not scale the boots to size though. Albert's heels were pretty good-sized - around 1.25". Taker looked like he was wearing casual shoes/boots, so there is at least an inch of heel there.

Mark, don't forget that you are talking about some of the tallest guys in wrestling, don't you think those numbers are a little underestimated? I am 5'9'', just another normal guy on the street... your estimates would make most of the ordinary wrestlers around my height. And i don't think that's the case.

KingNick, I agree with, try watching undertaker matches against albert, and also versus albert and big show, taker is taller.
Its funny that this video/photos as they make taker look shorter are having a lot of comments, but taker and nathan jones, khali etc videos or with others are almost ignored, why is this? Its because taker looks taller?
Many tried the same thing with taker and jbl, me and others posted videos where taker is actually taller 2 inches even with jbl using cowboys boots.
Sorry, but taker is not around 6
