albert was billed at 6'8 dont forget, and wwe always adds 2 inches.
and he is a no neck so its harder to tell how much taller he is than other people.
taker looks abit taller but remember taker wears normal shoes. albert would be wearing large boots. so albert will be 6'8 in his and taker wearing normals would make him 6'8-6'9

the irony is alex2, that the interview was used to push Wrestlemania, so in essence he would have to keep in character and claim near 8ft anyway, so its a partial non wwe interview :P....

I'd put Khali at 7'1, Big Show at 7'0 and Kane at 6'7.5-6'8. Leaving UT at 6'7 at most.

his shoes in his biker gimmick did seem bigger but not as big as his ministry boots.
so nate jones is 6'10, and if taker didnt want noticable lifsts he would wear 2 inches. so that'll make takers height 6'7 and in lifts he'll be 6'9 since he was shorter than nathan jones.

Well frank, maybe you can vouch for me. in that staredown between taker and albert in 2000 or 2001, they had a match on raw when albert had a push as intercontinental champ. they had a staredown and they looked the same exact height! there wasnt even a half an inch between them and their boots were the same. idc what ppl say, hes the same height as albert. and in 2003 there was a staredown with albert and nathan jones. it was backstage. jones had albert by 1.5 inches to 2 inches. and in my veiw, thats about what jones had on taker. jones is taller than taker. so id put jones at 6'9'' and taker at 6'7-6'7 1/2. and albert at the same. they always bill wrestlers 2-3 inches than their actual height. come on ppl, hes still a tall guy, but hes not the tallest!

The shortest Taker could be is 6ft 7 i believe and that would Make Kane 6ft 7.5
and The Big show 6ft 10 .5 to 6ft 11 and Khali 6ft 11 to 6ft 11.5

Ghost, Taker could have been wearing big footwear with Khali. He suddenly grew close to two inches taller during the corporate ministry days due to larger footwear. Taker is also probably one of the few big guys athletic enough to wrestle with internal lifts.
WCW usually billed Taker at 6'9" as Mean Mark though the announcer said 6'8" in that one video.

If taker was under 6'7 today, it would put Khali under 7 feet tall and Tim Sylvia at about 6'4 or even shorter. I just don't see that.

No way does UT looks 6'8 today. One day get an old tape of UT in the 90's and compare it to now. You'll see he's a little shorter at least. I could buy 6'7 for him today but no more. 6'8 UT back then I can buy.

Sorry, there WAS proof that Taker was 6'8" in the 1990's, but those days are long done. Taker does not appear to be a 6'8" man anymore and btw, he was being billed at 6'8" in the WCW, so he was never taller than that. He was 6'7" and change and is 6'6" and change today.

Alex2, I understand where you're coming from. We could get a picture of The Undertaker barefoot next to a height chart and some people would still say it was the camera angles or there's lifts in his feet.

I wouold say 6 ft 6 - 6 ft 7 is about right for taker... although he sometimes appears taller than kane so he could possibly be 6 ft 8.. definately not 6 ft 10 like he is billed to be though..

No Danimal i dont believe Taker is 6ft 9 or 6ft 10 I was just saying if Test was 6ft 7 then Taker would be 6ft 9 to 6ft 10 .. I believe Test is 6ft 5
When i met Taker and he told me he was 6ft 9 i did believe him because he did look it but he probably 6ft 8

well, i guess he could be 6'5, he is 3 inches shorter than kane. which was how the 6'9 height came about, but he is also 3 inches taller than the rock.
a-train was billed at 6'8, like alot of wrestlers in '01 and '02. royal rumble, 2002, the godfather enters the ring and JR says "he looks in great shape now, 280 or 260lbs at 6'8" and he says for albert "here comes that big hiphop man, hippopotimus at 6'8 and 350"
when you look at albert and godfather walking by each other in the ring, albert obviously has 2 inches on godfather. how tall is godfather? 6'5 or 6'4? so that'll make albert 6'7 or 6'6.....ok haha, frank your right, and test is an inch shorter, so he'll be 6'5 or 6'6.

i met test. I am 6'2.5. Problem is is that i met him when i was 5'7 and i was 10 years old back in 1999 haha. He seemed very very large. I obviously couldnt tell the difference between a 6'5 and a 6'7 however, i do remember he was doorway concious which people only 6'5 and over do. The doorway was your standard 6'8 doorway.

I would say Test is a Solid 6ft 5 to 6ft 6 because Test was shorter than Albert who is listed at 6ft 6 to 6ft 7 and if Test is 6ft 7 and that makes Taker 6ft 9 to 6ft 10

test cant be 6'5, he was billed at 6'9 when he debut. has to be a solid 6'6 or 6'7, he's nearly as tall as bigshow at last years survivor series.
and danimal, remember old men shrink, so iron shiek was 6'0 in his prime, and look at him now, doesnt even have a neck and he uses a walking stick. 5'8 or 5'9 maybe.
and i never did say bundy was never 6'4. im saying that in recent pics he looks 6'1 now, in old age, men lose 4 inches, my grand dad can vouch for me on that, when i was talking about my height and weight, he said at max ill be 6'4, i was 15 at the time and 5'10 and 75kg. and he said he used to be 5'10 and 260lbs. and now he's 5'6 and 203lbs. he used to be a irish wrestler. wrestled men all over the world. and he said his favorite men to get into a real fight with was muracco. they were fighting because my grand dad beat him in arm wrestling. i said this before on the HHH thread but i just like to share it now haha. and he;s famous in new zealand, australia and ireland for never losing arm wrestling and a bar fight. one of his best memories was this world arm wrestling champ who came in and challenged him, and my grand dad beat him easy, and not only that, he dislocated the guys arm and snapped his forearm =D!! cool. Lenny was his name.

Hey guys I got TONS of great pics here from that phenomforever site. Check this out.
This is all of him in street clothes. I think we can all agree it's easier to judge their height in street clothes rather than lifts. Now a lot of people argue that he lost height. I think its possible but I don't agree. But for argument's sake here's a group of photos of what would have been his
"PEAK"
Click Here this is with the Godwins and Yokozuna. I think Yoko was 6'2" - 6'3" he never wore shoes
Click Here with Charles Wright (Papa Shango/Kama Mustafa/Godfather) I think he was 6'5"ish. UT is a bit closer to the camera but it's still a good pic.
Click Here here's a great pic with a ton of guys. Owen and Bret Hart, Yoko, Paul Bearer to name a few. UT is all the way in the back and still the tallest.
Click Here pretty sure this is peak with Paul Bearer. Towers over him.
And this is just a cool picture Click Here

Click Here w/ Rico. I met Rico after a show. He was in dress shoes and I was in workboots, we were about the same height and I'm 5'10.5" barefoot.
Click Here w/ JBL and Rikishi in Iraq. JBL is closer to the camera and UT still looks taller and is in sweats.
And just to be fair, here's a couple where he looks shorter than normal. But I think it's due to camera angles, how he's standing, shoes etc

wats test? 6'7 or 6'6? on his myspace it says he's 6'7 or 6'8? idk for me it says 202cm. i think thats 6'7.
anyway, in that pic, undertakers head looks higher than test is. so maybe its just test is closer to the cam than taker. but still, taker doesnt look that big in normal clothes. he looks like a normal sized giant to me. thats like 6'3-6'4 around here.

that president is taller then 5'11" he has at least 2 inches on bush who is 5'11". Though I know that really doestn amke much of a differnece, those photos are strage though, im jsut playing devils advocate here. the thing is when stadnyk slouches he looks so much shorter then when he stands up straight, I think this is largely due to hsi imense height and weight. He really doesnt seem 8'5.5" but it makes no sense for the endocrinologist to lie.

Cantstop25, Stadnyk's mom is only 5'0" tall though. She's not standing straight in that pic either and she's farther from the camera. She has to be around 5'8" for Stadnyk to be 8'5.5". This pic (Click Here) has Photoshop written all over it; plus, if he is lifting himself off the ground, he is doing it (at 400 lb. +) with no effort whatsoever.

Oh btw guys, I was just at a house show at the Meadowlands in NJ. IT WAS AMAZING!! I was 6 rows back!! I've never been that close before. I didn't have a camera but the guy next to me said he would email me the pics he was taking. There were a few staredowns so if I get any cool pics I'll send them here!

brother_h you're definitely right about him being called Mean Mark Callous,but i'm 100% he came in to replace Sid. Sid may have come back before Mark Callous (Undertaker) left but I don't remember them fighting. I'll keep looking for it if you find it let me know. Scott Hall may have been in WCW then.

Taker looks about 6'9" in the picture with Big Show and Vince. So take away the boots, and he's 6'8". I'd say Taker was 6'9" in his prime, and 6'8" now.

Oh so you are now saying that Bundy was only 6'1" Brother, putting Hogan at 6'3" in 1985???? Bundy WAS 6'4". The majority on here agree with that.

JT, the article is misleading then, because it tells his height acording to the word of guinness. Anyway, measured by guinness people themselves or by others is irrelevant since guinness seems to accept his height anyhow. I even think he's in the current book edition. I can also say that i am 10 feet tall (obviously not) if guinness prints it without verification then they are responsible for the lie they print.

Danimal, yea but even if we dont agree its an inch or within difference. But with weights we tend to agree or are very close to the same estimate. Someone was saying Bundy was really 350lbs but I just can't see that possible.

Thanks Alex. Honestly, you're one of the only guys on here who pretty much agrees with alnost all of my estimates and we've both been on here for years.
Ghost, I HAVE proven this in the past. It is not my fault you were not on this site when I did. Bundy had 2" on 6'2" Bigelow. There were videos and pics that showed this and they were displayed here. Bundy was at least 6'3", leaning closer to 6'4". Hogan had 2" on him, putting Hogan at 6'5"-6'6" in 1985-1986.

In the 1980s, Bundy was at least 3 inches shorter than Big John Studd. Thanks to his staredown with 6'5" Bill Fralic at WM 2, we know Studd was only about 6'6". By the mid-1990s, Bundy may have worn boots with thicker soles b/c he did look taller than 6'3". Click Here

Nope. No rep from Guinness ever measured him. Stadnyk refused their request, stating that he did not want the publicity even though he was claiming to be the tallest living man. That article just states that Stadnyk was measured at 8'5". It does not state who did the measurement. Some doctor was reported to have measured Stadnyk at this height but he denies ever doing so.

brother_h are you messing with us man? Mark Calloway came to NWA/WCW to replace Sid Eudy and tag team with Dan Spivey. As far as I knew by the time Sid came back Mark left and went to WWF/E as Undertaker. I'll definitely look for the match though.
I met King Kong Bundy several years ago. My uncle is 6'4" and they looked the same height to me. I can't find it on youtube for some reason, I'm sure its on there tho I'll keep looking, where Undertaker fought Yokozuna at Survivor Series 94. Bam Bam and Bundy tried to interfere but weren't allowed and were standing right next to each other. I remember Bundy having an inch or two on him. I'll keep looking for the vid.

Bigelow was 6'2 himself so Bundy was 6'3-6'4 but when I saw him in person in 2000 at a charity event in the ring the man could have passed for 6'6.

KKB was only an inch taller than Bam Bam Bigelow. Apart from that, I would say he's only about 6'2 1/2'' sans shoes.

Just saying that Bundy was 6'4 is pointless.
if you want to make something into a fact, try to prove it.
Otherwise use words like "I, think" or "to me".

I don't buy 6'4 for Bundy, more like 6'3 peak. Maybe even 6'2,5. Also, I don't see Hogan ever being much taller than 6'5. Maybe just a bit over that mark if at all.
I don't think Taker is under 6'7 today because of his staredown with Khali.
If you put Taker at 6'6 today, you automatically put Khali and Big show under 7. feet.

Good point Red. King Kong Bundy was 6'4" and Hogan is looking every bit 6'6" there. Everyone fails to realize that Hogan was taller in 1983-1989 then he was in the early 1990's. Red's pick proves that. Hogan had 2" on 6'4" King Kong in 1985 and appears shorter than 6'4" David Hasselholf today. 3" loss baby.
As for Taker, he was between 6'7" and 6'8" at his peak and in the 6'6" range today.

JT, Taker looked taller in the Ministry days, not because he wore bigger boots, but because he WAS taller back then. He was taller than a lot of big and tall men well before his Ministry days with those little black shoes of his. Today, his shoes appear larger than ever and he never looks to tower anyone anymore the way he used to.

I've always wanted to see that raw) and look at this picClick Here I believe that's from the same raw, certainly the same era. And see this pic with JBL Click Here as blurry as it is you can tell JBL has a footwear advantage.

LMAOOOOOO, OMG. lOOK HOW PHONY IS FEET LOOK. That picture is doctored i can almost assure it. One way to tell. Look at the wall/fence next to him. The angle of it on the bottom goes down. Look at the mothers feet. The angle goes downward. Then you look at Lenoid's feet and the angle upward, It just doesnt match. His feet look awkward anyway. Also the only way that his feet can have an upward angle like that is if his feet were up off the ground...as if he were leaning back which is feasable, but its not because there is no shadow under his feet.
Wow Vegas if thats a real official photo there is somthing definetly fishy going on because his feet donot match the picture.

Bare foot for Kamala would make him 6'3 compared to other wrestlers.
JBL is billed at 6'7 and sometimes 6'8. his real height is 6'7 or slightly under it.
so that would make taker 6'8-6'7. but dont forget, undertakers shoes dont show to much lift as JBL's does(to JT's 4th pic)
In alot of other stare downs taker would have 3 inches over JBL and 2 inches over him.

Click Here ok JT, well the first picture may be off because of depth. The second picture is tricky, i posted the video, It is funny that on AVERAGE* Taker looks taller in the video like at 8:47 he looks an inch taller at 8:50 he also looks taller, At about 9:09 i believe is the best indicator, its fair the angle of the camera is still and they are not moving. In this video i firmly think that the undertaker is taller, and just by the initial look when they stand up to one another he appears taller.
Look sid really impresses me with his height he is really really tall. If you look at the sid boards you will see that i have been fighting for this guys true height for awhile. The Undertaker is really tricky and thats why i like to challenge their heights because they are so similiar but im siding with taker and im having a fun time doing it. But we can not forget that one picture with their full bodies where taker does edge him by a half inch.

JimmyDavid, Stadnyk is a fraud. He's probably 7'6" to 7'7" max. Pituitary giants don't keep growing height-wise. I believe their growth plates fuse at a similar age compared to normal persons (they are just much taller at this point in time). After that, the bones just thicken horizontally. Like Andre, Khali is a poster boy for gigantism/acromegaly.

I find it weird that someone already mentioned "peek" and "today's" height for Khali..lol. This is a young man on his prime. Besides, i believe his size is not genetic but due to a disease, and those people are known to actually add inches with time. Stadnik is still growing in his mid 30's, for example.

Yeah, Taker is literally staring down Hogan and still looks like 3 inches. If he put his head straight and stood tall I'd see 4-5". Taker at that time was probably around 6'9" in gear. He wore a work boot of some sort that prob gave him 1-1.5" over barefoot height.

you have to take in account maybe hogan had footwear advantage etc,when u look at the khali taker vid when he is about to walk up to khali he looks short he has his head down and his back is not straight. but when he goes in his max height position you really see a difference in his height, take another look at the vid

lol red. First of all did you not see the video of sid he is moving his feet and is leaning in , I REPEAT you can not judge by that picture because of that. If you know anything about the human body and motor functions you would know that when someone is leaning on a foot the add over a half inch. When someone is walking their height increases when they are in stride. Because we are looking for a mere half inch sid fidlling with his feet makes the picture no good*. Also I tested this just resently, i have a friend who is 5'10 and when i have my head down like taker's is to hogan it really diminishes a lot of height. If the undertaker stood at straight as possible then his head would reach the top of the picture. But come on, 3 inches with his head down red. If he put his head up and straightened his back it would be 4 inches or a little more making him 6'7.5

You can gain 2 inches by standing on your toes, at least.
[honestly, that is believable. i used to stand on my toes alot around my cousin(6'0 and 15years old and i was 6'0 aswell) and now im nearly 6'2 in less than a month]
Kamala was billed at 6'7, his real hieght is 6'4 or 6'5.
Have u guys seen mor recent videos? Usually, in the 2004-2006 when taker meets JBL, taker would have 3-4 inches over JBL. JBL's real height i would have to say is 6'6-6'7. he towered over crymetyme member Shad Gaspared who was listed at 6'7 but was 2 inches shorter than JBL(cybersunday).
like i said before Taker would usually have 3-4 inches over JBL.
and i remember on 2000-2002 he was billed at 6'8, and so was test.

Sid has been billed at 6'7" at one point in his wrestling career. He was never over that. Sid was notorious for standing on his toes many matches I've seen. He like to intimidate his opponents, by attempting to tower over them. He did this with Hogan in the early 90's during a face off.
Sid - 6'7" Peak
Taker - 6'7.5"-6'8" Peak

First of all, if the undertaker displayed maximum height like he does in this video Click Here at :51 with khali there is no doubt* in my mind undertaker would be taller. Mind you khali is 7'1 and taker is measuring up very well, this is actually one of the few videos undertaker stands so straight and if khali is 7'1 the undertaker is looking 6'8. But he never* did with sid, Sid is moving his feet and leaning in and moving his head while taker is calm. That picture you have looks good but in the video you see that he is going on his toes yelling all that good stuff so the picture doesnt count because we are looking for a half inch. Anyway im still fighting for 6'7 for sid on the sid page, sid being listed 6'6 is just rediculous.
BTW sid and taker are close in height actually very close , but i know thaty he has him by a half.

All of that purpleish hue you see above that green line for about an inch is the undertakers head the other inch is the hair. You can tell by the video that taker has the advantage in height.

At 4:30 sid and nash looks like a 2 inch difference slightly less. He looks taller than 6'7 godsey comparison. Why is it so hard to put sid at 6'7, doesnt this prove it? Nash is a STRONG 6'9 I think he was 6'10 at one point, ill settle with 6'9.5 for nash but sid being 6'6??, he matches so well with nash on two occasions.
Also sid can appear taller at times because he has such high shoulders and his eye level is so high to the top of his head. With nash, his shoulder level matches his and his eye level is an inch from nashes, And the undertaker is the is the opposite, he has a very high forhead and low set eyes.

JT none of sense.
Those pictures of John Studd more than anything prove he has lifts on. Look at that white part of his boot; that's the lift. In the picture with Andre, Studd is boosted by about a 22 degree angle off the ground; he also has lifts in the Royal Rumble match which are very obvious. I reiterate, John Studd is no more than 6'6.5", at least a half an inch shorter than Akeem in barefeet. I personally put Studd at an even 6'6".
As for Nathan Jones and Undertaker that is not 2 inches by any stretch of the imagination... if that is 2 inches your assertions make than Kane is 5 inches taller than Big Ben in the picture previously posted. Jones has Taker by an inch maximum.

Watch Wrestlemania V and compare John Studd to Jake Roberts. Nearly identical heights. Then go watch Royal Rumble 1989 where he towers over everyone. Whenever he looked tall it was because he was in lifts; the biggest lifts I've ever seen in my 20 years of wrestling viewing. John Studd was no taller than 6'6.5", and no more than an inch taller than (at the time) 6'5.75" Hogan.
Click Here Jake with Studd...sorry for the brevity of the clip; I'm currently searching out the full match.
Click Here Royal Rumble 1989. Studd's lifts are HUGE.
The popular consensus here is that Nathan Jones is 6'9.5" - 6'10", but many of you list Taker has 2" shorter than him consistently. There is no more than an inch and more than likely less." Provided links - Click Here Click Here Click Here Make sure you pay attention to the angles and the position of the camera, you will see they come out even and jones looks slightly taller. Either Jones is an inch shorter than you guys estimate, or Taker is an inch taller. Since it is obvious from a decade of comparison that Kane is only ever taller when he wears the big lifts and they otherwise look identical height, Taker has to be in the mid 6'8" range since most of you think Kane is as well, but for some reason list him an inch taller. It seems like you guys want to be official, but go by the skewed billed differences in some situations. Kane at 7' does not coincide with the standard 1.25"-.5" overbilling"

Danimal, I'm not saying for sure but if you're 5'9.5 out of bed there is a chance you're 5'9 flat most of the day. Some say their out of bed height, some say their average or some say their lowest height. If I said my out of bed height I'd be 6'0.75-6'1.

again i see nothing out of the ordinary with ortons boots there with lawler, he is wearing the exact same boots again with the flap at the top, they might give him an inch but no more than that, otherwise we have underestimated kane and mark henrys footwear.
orton often appears on wwe tv in very low dress shoes, i have a pair with heels similiar to the ones he is wearing here and they give you nothing in height, maybe 0.5" max Click Here strange he would wear low shoes, batista certainly doesn't when out of gear, neither does edge.
speaking of orton in dress shoes here he is in dress shoes and leaning; everyone else in 1.5" army boots and orton is still looking like a giant, he has nearly a full head on those male soldiers on the right of the photo Click Here

Vegas, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Orton wears huge massive lifts that make him twice as tall as he really is, I'm just saying the boot he wears is a little chunky. It may give him an inch. see 35 of 75 Click Here
Electric Shock, on the flip side, I don't think Studd wore lifts.

morgan only participated in one rumble 2004, they never had a staredown in that rumble, kane chokeslammed morgan but thats it....
morgan enters at 2:25 on this video Click Here and kane at 7:45 and is eliminated before the end of the video, where is the staredown???

i am not sure what you are seeing DaMan but Orton always wears the same boots in the ring, he is wearing the same footwear in these photos are in yours, with the distinctive flap near at the top of the boot near the knee, all of these photos were taken in the last 2-3 months or so

i have seen orton's boots up close at numerous live events i have attended, they are made from soft leather and there is barely any heel as the photos show.
If you can provide evidence of other footwear or internal lifts then by all means.. remember Orton would need to wear close to a 1" lift inside those flat soled boots just to provide the same lift as what kane is wearing; which kind of defeats the purpose of lifts.......

One Man Gang was taller than Studd. Studd wore enormous lifts that made him appear taller. There's a match from Puerto Rico where John Studd wrestled 6'5.75" Hogan and was virtually the exact same height. One Man Gang had more than an inch of advantage on Hogan (about 1.25").
At wrestlemania 5, when John Studd wears normal soles as opposed to his lifts, he has virtually no height advantage over 6'5" Jake The Snake Roberts; the absolute tallest I'd be willing to give John Studd is 6'6.25".
Batista is not 6'4". He is shorter than both Edge and Randy Orton in stairdowns. He also doesn't come off as more than a half an inch taller than Brock Lesnar in their OVW match.
Hulk Hogan is currently 6'4.25"; he was just under 6'6" in the 80s.
Kane looks taller than Undertaker because Undertaker's eyesockets are right in the middle of his skull; Undertaker's forehead is massive, granting him a slight height advantage over Kane. It is possible Kane lost a little height from his Isaac Yankem days; Kane carries more weight than Taker, on average 20-25 lbs, which could've caused this.

So many of the heights listed here I can say from meeting these guys are straight up wrong. This is a list of heights that I have worked on with another avid bill buster for sometime and we have about 99% aggreement on over the last few weeks starting with a mid 6'er with John Tenta at 6'5.75" via his sumo wrestling stats, branched and cross reference with videos and pictures from various matches over various time frames. These bills can all be taken as "peak" heights. Most notably at the moment however because of the thread subject, I do not believe the Undertaker has lost any height because there's been no evidence of steroid use and he's never carried excess weight for a extended period of time(a la One Man Gang). If anyone thinks he he under 6'8", you need to meet someone who is 6'8".

you can clearly see ortons ankle in the shot i posted, he wears the same boots all the time in the ring, hollys heels and orton heels are the same.
jericho and rvds boots are very popular amongst the high-flyers; most of the european high-flying wrestlers wear them to give much better balance coming off the ropes, nearly all the guys in my local fed wear these wrestling boots, they do crazy moves you would never see in the WWE

Vegas, Orton's boots are often chunky. Theres a photo of Orton on the WWE page of him doing an RKO and his boots are def. chunky. I've seen this in several matches now. You want to see boots with barely any heel check out Hardcore Holly's boots. Orton's boots are at times on the chunkier end of the spectrum for wrestling boots, very reminiscent of Jerichos, at times there looks to be some sort of arch lift going on.

Kingnick, Studd was only an inch taller than 6'5 Bill fralic and basicly the same height as the one man gang.
What's so strange about a 6'7 guy bein billed 6'10? 6'7 was a rare height for a wrestler in those days. Hogan was 6'5 and he was billed 6'8. Andre was 6'10 in the 80s and they billed him as 7'5! If Studd had really been 6'8,5 I'm sure he would have been billed as 7 feet tall.
What is really stupid is that the WWE hall of fame recognizes Studd as taller than Ernie Ladd. They say Studd was 6'10 and Ladd 6'9.

What's so strange about a 6'7 guy bein billed 6'10? 6'7 was a rare height for a wrestler in those days. Hogan was 6'5 and he was billed 6'8. Andre was 6'10 in the 80s and they billed him as 7'5! If Studd had really been 6'8,5 I'm sure he would have been billed as 7 feet tall.

That comparison of Hogan and Roberts makes it quite obvious that Hogan was never over 6'5.

Vegas, thank you! I was this close to loading those myself. It just goes to show how tall the Snake is. You can't see in those pics, but in the video (it's on the Jake the Snake Roberts dvd) Hogan has on his wrestling gear while Jake has on a normal shoe (you see his shoe very briely at the end of the segment)

Viper, I met Bret and had a long conversation with him in Edmonton over Christmas 2001. Really nice guy. I'm 5'9.5" now. At the time I WAS 5'10". He was my height exactly. We were dead on eye to eye. My then girlfriend even commented on hey Dan, how come you're the same height as him? hahaha.

I like those estimates, but come on Rhino 5'10 he stacked up quite well to 6'5+ Abyss last week and i don't think Show has lost any height hes only around 38 years old and you normally shrink around late 40's early 50's but they seem pretty fair to me but Bret Hart certinally looks 6'0+ with 5'8 Glenn.

bigJim who met snitsky estimated him at 6'4 and 280lb in person or just a little more than that.
snitsky looks ~6'4.5" with big ben but ben and starks are closer to the camera so thats not a great shot

Someone on this site posted that they had met Snitsky and he seemed 6'7-6'8 at very least and he does look 6'6 with Big Ben and why would WWE build him at 6'8 if he was only 6'4 thats a whopping 4 inches, just doesnt seem right to me :d

whats wrong with 1.48??

the most i can buy for snitsky is 6'4.5"
snitsky was barely taller than triple h on monday night, even my non-wrestling friend watching raw said that''

Randy Orton and Snitsky are very close in height. Certainly not 2 inches. Snitsky might have Orton by 1/2", but that appears to be the most. Snitsky wears lifts and has very long legs for his height.

this one single shot is enough to tell that snitsky is no 2" taller than orton, otherwise the camera angle is giving orton 4" lol Click Here
they are the same height when the camera levels out Click Here Click Here
snitsky looks taller at times in the video but so does orton Click Here but the camera angle sucks because it is on the shoulder of the camera man and it moves around to get a better shot

The thing is though, sometimes it seems like Taker hadn't lost any height at all.
Dan Spivey was probably under 6'7 in his prime and Taker never seemed to have him by more than an ich. Sometimes they appeared the same height. Spivey's boots might have been bigger, though.
I think Jake Roberts was about 6'4,5 and Taker seemed to have about 2-3 inches on him.
Sid, I believe was a legit 6'7 in his prime and I think there was no more than 0.5 between them.
Albert who has claimed to be 6'7, I think, but some people here say is less, looked very close in height with Taker.
Khali who I believe to be around 7.05 had Taker by only 5 inches.
Could he have been 6'7.5 all along? Who knows.

Don't quote me Ghost on things I may have said in the past. When I am confronted with NEW evidence, then my opinions will invaiably change over time. I DO believe that Taker has lost some height since 2001. He could very well be 6'6"-6'7" today. As for Khali, for all I know he's 6'11"-7'0".

JT, great pics as usual. Maybe you're right, maybe he is 6'5" or 6'6" and closer to 6'8" in his boots. I believe Vegas a while ago posted the video where he had a staredown with Orton and Snitsky was an inch or two taller.

I am confident that post 2001, Taker has just not been the same. We've seen it with so many aging wrestlers, who had killed their body in the ring and the corrective surgery to help them fight another day, which shrinks their body in the process.
