Paul said on 11/Oct/07
Maybe Rob hasn't decided how tall Sid is as yet. I would like to see 6'8 (as original height anyway) if he decides on a 'Sid page'.
If you compare the photo of that same guy with Sid and then with Goldblum there is absolutely no comparison. Remember Goldblum is 6'4.5. Sid could easily have been 3.5in taller.
Frank said on 10/Oct/07
Vegas i agree with you in those pictures you posted of Sid but look at the picture Rob will post with Sid and the 5ft 8 Mamun Sid does not look 6ft 7 next to him
Frank said on 10/Oct/07
Rob can you post the Picture with Mamum and SID and Mamun with his 6ft 6 inch cousin
Editor Rob
I'll add that page yes soonish.
Frank said on 10/Oct/07
Alex i met Taker at the Paramount Theater @ Madison Square Garden it was Christmas 1994 i believe i paid 75 bucks and i had dinner and seen alot of WWF stars at that event it was like a Christman party
Alex said on 10/Oct/07
Vegas, thats a good 10 inch difference at least between the 2. UT then looked about 6'8 to me and thats puts Gonzalez at a good 7'6.
Vegas said on 10/Oct/07
there are lots of photos of Sid in streets Frank;
here is one

same dude with 6'4 jeff goldblum

Sid may be 6'5 now since his injury but i highly doubt below 6'7" peak looking at those pics and his in-ring work.
jason posted a great pic on big shows page which shows Wight slightly SHORTER in gear next to akebono than in his bare feet so the myth about ring gear has been torn to bits imo
Alex said on 10/Oct/07
Frank, how did you get to meet UT again? Backstage pass was it?
Da Man said on 10/Oct/07
A little less shoes and a little less hair.
Frank said on 10/Oct/07
Guys you are getting me wrong i said Sid looked 6ft 5 in street clothes and he looked taller in ring gear and Taker himself said he was 6ft 9 it was not me saying that ....That new guy took a picture with Sid and Sid did not look as tall than his 6ft 6 cousin Again Sid was in street clothes...When Sid walked by me he did not look as tall as i thoght he would and my friend who was there with me said that Sid did not Tower me at all
Editor Rob
I wasn't sure in mamun's pic of cousin, but it's possible mamun has little less shoes than cousin, although only mamun might know.
Vegas said on 10/Oct/07
i would buy gonzales at 7'6 ahead of 99.9% of wrestler heights banded about, here he dwarfs undertaker in this interview
Click Here
JimmyDavid said on 10/Oct/07
I see what you mean. I checked the pics again. It's strange, Sid has definitely a higher eye and shoulder level but the top of Undertaker's head does go up there as tall if not taller. Anyway, whichever has the advantage can't be by more than one inch or so... some people said like 6'9'' for undertaker and 6'5'' for Sid, now that would be impossible.
Another claim i was always suspicious about was the 7'7'' figure on Gonzalez. But again, he was super tall, so could have been possible.
nick said on 9/Oct/07
SID IS NOT TALLER, TAKER IS, it just appears that way because sids nose and mouth are higher, but the undertakers skull comes an inch higher end of story
Kevin Durant said on 9/Oct/07
I think Sid Vicious is 6'7" while the Undertaker is 6'8 in his prime. Base on there staredown in Wrestlemania 13, I think Taker beat Sid by an inch.

Frank, UT looks at least 6 inches taller and thats not counting the ramp which is a few more inches. Its too bad you guys weren't on flat ground so we could get a much better estimate.
Ray said on 9/Oct/07
JimmyDavid: in your untouched pic, Taker is taller. There are various pics that show Taker to be taller - I'd say he has around 1" on Sid in the pics; not sure about today but still feel Taker would have Sid by 1" and maybe more. Taker has a longer head than Sid and even though Sid may have higher shoulders and eye level, look at the top of their heads and you'll see Taker's head peak is higher.
Paul said on 9/Oct/07
Frank you can't really imply Sid is 6'5 and Taker 6'9. Not really.
bennyboobooboobooboo! said on 9/Oct/07
Well guys, I do have a magazine that I was checking out the other day. It has a huge article on sid vicious. The magazine is a may 1989 issue called the wrestler. it has ricky steamboat on the cover. ok now, the article says"Future Champion or Hollow Potential" what sid vicious must know to reach the top. sid vicious has it all. hes young, talented, and carries 290 pounds of muscle on his massive 6'7'' frame. and I swear there was a time on that old tv show that aired on saturday morning called mania, that sid was the special guest on there. and i have forgotten who he was feuding with at the time. it mustve been 96-97 era. and he was talking about his height and stated that he was 6'7'' himself! and throughout his career, he was listed at 6'7'' 6'8'' 6'9'' 6'10'' and even 7ft! lol where does this crap come from? personally i believe him when he says hes 6'7''. that seems very accurate. he and taker are roughly the same size. its hard to tell who has the angle though. one can look taller than the other. although with taker, its just the top of his head. now go to youtube and watch jake the snake and undertaker attack sid justice.when they have their staredown, vince says the undertakers huge! but sid justice, even bigger i believe. but the thing is, at the beginning, sid had his head tilted back as always and taker was looking up. but once taker tilted his head up he looked like he had a full inch on sid! go to it and keep pausing it so it will be in slow motion. i think sid is 6'7'' with boots, and taker at 6'8'' in boots. but wwf had sid at 6'9'' and taker at 6'8'' in the 91-92 era. i bought both wrestling figures and had the cards that had those listings. then in 94 i bout the taker with the coat and on the back it had him at 6'10 1/2'' lol anyway, frank danimal and the rest of ya tell me what u think
KingNick said on 9/Oct/07
Jimmy David, check out this whole photo album
Click Here specifically the pics with UT and Sid
Click Here and
Click Here and
Click Here thats just a few, there's a bunch others. UT, in my opinion, is the taller of the two, not by much. UT has a low eye line which makes Sid appear taller. There's even a staredown for the WM 13 pic, I dont think they edited that. You can see the shoes clearly, they're about the same. I've seen your photo before, I dont think thats accurate.
Vegas said on 9/Oct/07
Frank says on 9/Oct/07
Mike all i know Taker looked really tall in person and the picture does not show it....I seen Sid in street clothes and too be Honest he looked about 6ft 5 and there is a new guy on this site who is 5ft 8 and he has a piture with Sid in street clothes and sneakers with a good size heel and Sid looks shorter than his 6ft 6 cousin
where is this photo of mamun and sid you speak of?? Mamun's 6'6 cousin has a good sized heel on his shoe looking at the pic and about 3" of hair too, lol
Frank said on 9/Oct/07

so frank what your saying is there would be more than a 7 inch difference between you and taker?
JimmyDavid said on 9/Oct/07
Here you go, an untouched pic:
Click Here
Again i know it's hard to tell height from pictures but i still think Sid is at least one inch taller or so. Maybe 6'9'' for Takert and 6'10'' for Sid.
JimmyDavid said on 9/Oct/07
Nope, the pic was edited for details only, but the staredown is real. I have seen the original pic too, with no editing around.
In WM undertaker had some special boots to match his strange costume while Sid had regular boots. I am guessing Taker's were quite taller.
Alex said on 9/Oct/07
That picture isn't accurate. UT had Sid by 1/2 inch in their staredown at WM 13. I think Sid was 6'7 or so.
Paul said on 9/Oct/07
Thats not a photo of Sid and Taker..more like a backroom office boy taking images of them both and sticking them together for some publication. Someone who doesn't know any better.
JimmyDavid said on 8/Oct/07
Take a look at this page:
Click Here
There is a little picture of a rare moment when
Sid Eudy and Taker actually have a staredown. Both eye and shoulder level don't lie. Sid is taller (and a larger guy overall).
By the way, Both Undertaker and Sid will soon return to WWE as Towers of doom, a new tag team.
Alex said on 8/Oct/07
My personal guess for UT today is 6'6 1/2 and was 6'8 at his peak.
Frank, 1 inch heel gives you 1/2 inch to your height only? When I wear 1 inch heel sneakers I am then 1 inch taller from my barefoot height.
Paul said on 8/Oct/07
Wow... all these old timers appearing from nowhere...Frank Danimal Jason topdweeb26 Alex...all at once
Frank said on 8/Oct/07
Bebennybobobbo, Im 5ft 11 1/2 barefoot and with a normal one inch heel im 6ft yes an inch heel gives me 1/2 inch boost in height sounds crazy but its true and i was on slightly higher ground than him on the picture we were standing on ground slanting upward so i looked alittle taller in that picture
Da Man said on 8/Oct/07
I don't see how you can peg the difference at 7" when there are ground level and perspective differences in the photo.
mike m said on 8/Oct/07
there is a 7 inch difference i say between taker and frank.frank is 6'0" taker is 6'7"
Vegas said on 8/Oct/07
fuji gone mate, south africa beat them 31-20 last night. france are always tough to beat, strong and skillful.
typical bs Irish thing to do would be to sack the coach but i doubt it, we have won 3 triple crowns in a row (first time ever we managed that). a few of the top lads can use this as a kick up the rear they needed, they aren't gods, even though the irish media had portrayed some of them (o'driscoll, o'gara, o'connell) as that beforehand
Jason said on 8/Oct/07
Dave says on 8/Oct/07
''6'5.5 for undertaker is stupidity.... people here really have inferiority complexes.... because that man hasnt been 6'5 since his teens.''
Stupidity is not being able to get your sentiment across without being insulting. ;)
Jason said on 8/Oct/07
lol yeah, we're both out now. Is your coach gonna get the sack? I think four easy games might have hurt us ... kept making errors against & got pounded in the scrum against England. I dunno how France beat New Zealand. Well, I'll be going for Fiji now!
Viper said on 8/Oct/07
Ive been saying Undertaker is 6-6 for 2 years now. 6-8 in ring gear. 6-6 barefoot.

Vegas said on 8/Oct/07
Jason i think maybe australia were a little overhyped like Ireland and New Zealand. i think our lads drank a little too much guinness on the plane over to france :P
had to laugh at the excuses some members of the irish media/fan base are using for our pathetic performances; the best one was not playing the national anthem which led us to having no fight for the match ahead (they played irelands call instead of the anthem). The republic's soccer team always play the national anthem before each game and they still suck.....
Jason said on 8/Oct/07
I think he was ~ 6'6''. You're not into rugby? It was actually an upset. ;)
Paul said on 7/Oct/07
Jason are you sticking with 6'5.5 for UT ? I have the guy as 6'7 right now. Maybe a tad over.
I don't follow any of those World Cup matches you refer to but I'll take your word for it that you guys lost...
Alex said on 7/Oct/07
Frank said he was 5'11 1/2 barefoot and 6'0 1/2 with shoes on.
bennyboobooboobooboo! said on 7/Oct/07
well frank, if youre 5'11 1/2'' with shoes on, whats that make u without? and i personally thing taker was a strong 6'8'' back in the day. when they state 6'8'' for his basketball days they measure you with your shoes on. i was into multi sports. so i would assume that he was 6'9'' or around it with wrestling boots. if u dont believe me, go to an event and have a closeup of all the wrestlers with their boots on! so taker 6'7 1/2'' barefoot, 6'8''-6'9'' in shoes and boots. its that simple. i'll also add that another reason he looks short today is the simple fact that he slouches. and most the wrestlers today are a lot taller and wider than the wrestlers in takers prime. all much closer to his height than anyone back then.
Jason said on 6/Oct/07
Paul says on 4/Oct/07
''Jason where ya been of late ? Have you had a change of opinion on any heights ?''

Alex said on 6/Oct/07
Topdweeb, Big Show looks to have at least 4 inches on Kane I think.
I use to think Kane was a legit 6'11 for years.
topdweeb26 said on 6/Oct/07
KingNick: Kane being 6' 9 actually a little taller than most people would say he is. In fact, he doesn't even make it to 7' even with his in-ring attire, because Big Show easily has around 3 or 4 inches on him. So this guy is obviously full of it.
KingNick said on 6/Oct/07
I'm working at a haunted house with a former Indy wrestler who's 6'8". I asked him if the Indies he wrestled for exagerrated his height, and he said, "Yeah, they give your height in boots. So I was either 6'9" or 6'10"" About Kane, he said, "I know Kane wears huge lifts, he's only around 6'9" " Not sure if he met Kane or not, but he did meet Big Show and said, "that guy is just massive. He looked over 7ft to me."
Alex said on 6/Oct/07
I don't think the most exarrerated person. Just more than some say he's 6'6 and even 6'7. Fine yea since my estimate is an inch shorter I may have said it wrong.
Ben said on 6/Oct/07
just been looking on online world of wrestling and theres loads of pics of the skyscrapers with spivey, sid and the undertaker and in all the pics they all look the same height..i always thought spivey was 6'5? but ive met taker and sid and they were both taller then that.... Very strange how people can seem so many different heights, it seems harder to jusdge the height of wrestlers then any other people because of all the false heights and lifts in peoples shoes.
From my experience meeting wrestlers the short guys in person are much shorter then you would think and the tall guys are usually as tall as youd expect..scott steiner was about 5'10!
topdweeb26 said on 5/Oct/07
Alex: sure i understand. But to say that JBL is the most over exaggerated person because most think he's 6' 6 but you think he's 6' 5 is ridiculous.
Paul said on 4/Oct/07
Jason where ya been of late ? Have you had a change of opinion on any heights ?
Jason said on 4/Oct/07
Paul, on a brighter note, welcome to August. :)
But, yeah ....... pretty bloody tragic. Just did a news search then to see what he died of (autopsy results were pending last time I read about it), and it was an accidental prescription drug overdose involving a strong painkiller and a few other medications being mixed.

Sure was one of my more favourite wrestlers as a kid...

mike m said on 4/Oct/07
taker looks 5 inches shorter than big show ,and five inches shorter than khali.
Ghost said on 4/Oct/07
There is nothing that shows Taker having ever been 6'10. He was very close in height with Spivey who was MAX 6'7 in his prime. Go to OnlineWorldOfwrestling and see Spivey's profile.
Taker has even described himself as 6'8 a few times.
Don't you think that if Taker had ever been 6'10 he would have been billed 7 feet tall? Ofcourse he would have.
People need to stop saying that Taker was 6'10 or 6'6.
6'8 once, 6'7 today, I say.
cantstop25 said on 4/Oct/07
overesitmated?? Alex what are you talkign about for a while most people had him at 6'4" and many people even bought jasons 6'2.5" estimate
tuga said on 3/Oct/07
I think it is clear in the video I posted that Taker is taller than jbl even if jbl is wearing cowboy boots, now lets not start downgrading jbl...
If Taker was 6'6 or 6´7 someone like Nathan Jones would be much taller than him but they actually look about the same height, you have also Taker next to jimmy kievel etc. I think Taker is at least 6'8, the discussion is if he could be or has been taller than that, because anything under is just ridiculous...and whoever thinks he is under 6'8 is just ignoring all the evidence seen in videos.
James N. said on 3/Oct/07
I wish the pictures of The Skyscrapers were still on here. While the main picture that was going around didn't really show much of a height difference, there were others in the series where it was clear that Taker was at least a couple of inches bigger. If Spivey was 6'6" back then, then Taker was at least 6'8" and probably closer to his billed 6'9", at the time. Even today, I'm hard-pressed to believe that he's not at least 6'8", despite the fact that he doesn't go out of his way to seem tall against shorter guys. His bigger boots during the Corporate Ministry days seemed to put him closer to the 7' range (his 6'10.5" billed height).
topdweeb26 said on 3/Oct/07
Alex: if JBL's 6' 5 and people are estimating him as 6' 6 or 6' 7, I wouldn't consider that in the "most overestimated" category, as one or two inches off seems to be pretty common. With that said, at times you speak as if you have taken a measuring tape up to him personally or something. He does look 6' 6 a lot of times.
mike m said on 3/Oct/07
Ray i agree 100 percent taker these dayts 6'7".
dave said on 3/Oct/07
JBL is helped by his cowboy boots and his hairstlye adds to an illusion of height too. The UT's eye level is 2 or 3 inches higher than JBL's.
Alex said on 3/Oct/07
Tim Slyva looks at least 6'6-6'7 to me.
I think JBL is one of the most overestimated guys we have out there. A lot people think he's 6'6-6'7 but he's about 6'5 only.
TRutt said on 3/Oct/07
wow who are ppl kidding here? UT as low as 6'6?? NO way, may I insist u go get a free eye screening. u want conclusive evidence of just how big mark really is watch the vid of UT vs. Bigshow on ECW
Chief said on 2/Oct/07
Da Man, I was not aware of the billings on that, but billings are not always accurate. I have not seen many photos with Taker and Spivey, but some better ones would be useful. The two men appear very close in height.
nick said on 2/Oct/07
did i not state that i had met the guy, I am a hair over 6'2.5 in the morning, and a hair over 6'2 at night after a long day and weightlifting session. O have friends that are 6'5 and i have met people that are 6'6, The man is 6'8, he has a long forhead, which doesnt make him apear weird, but it does make him appear shorter by a little bit. Dont worry there will be that one picture one day that will definetly prove
Vegas said on 2/Oct/07
Mark; Wight was minimum 6" taller than haystacks imo
Mark said on 2/Oct/07
Cheers Vegas. Have been checking pages every day. As a massive fan of Undertaker I openly admit to doing my best to see him up and above 6'8 but reality is 6'6. I've seen photos of Taker/Rock more suggesting 3/4 inches definately not convinced by listing for Sylvia from UFC either Taker 0.5/1' shorter than 6'7 Jacobs too. Truth is not 100 per cent sure on Wight. Vegas how much taller than Haystacks would you say he was in that photo?
Ray said on 2/Oct/07
Also, let's not forget Taker had UFC's Tim Sylva by 2-3" in a backstage video; Sylva is billed at 6'8" but could be more 6'5"-6'6"
Ray said on 2/Oct/07
Anything under 6'7" is too low for Taker IMO; there is no way he's under 6'7" if Orton is 6'4"; also, Taker was around 5" shorter than Khali and 4" or so shorter than Big Show; saying Taker is in the 6'6" area wou,d suggest Show at around 6'10"+ and Singh at 6'11"+ which I think would be selling those two guys, actualyl all 3 guys short. Taker 6'7" minimum and could be more closer up to 6'8"; Show 6'11.5"-7'0", and Singh 7'1" seems pretty fair. JBL in cowboy boots is as tall or a hair taller than Taker may be true but cowboy boots can add a couple inches; JBL is what about 6'6" so he could be 6'8" in cowboy boots or maybe even more which would put Taker at that level with normal footwear.
Da Man said on 2/Oct/07
Chief, Taker was billed as 2 inches taller than Spivey in the Skyscrapers. Are there any in ring or other photos of Taker and Spivey together other than Skyscraper photoshoot pics? If they were the same height it seems like they would have been billed at the same height.
tuga said on 2/Oct/07
Yes KingNick, here it goes:
Click Here If it still does not work simply searth " APA reunites" on youtube. I think anyone that thinks taker is 6'6 1/2 should watch his videos with Big Show, Nathan Jones, khali and also that fighter from ufc who is listed at 6´8...
Paul said on 2/Oct/07
nick, 6'6.5 isn't the lowest that's been been quoted on here in the past. We have had 6'5.5 more than once and 6'2 also. I won't reveal who made the claims though.
KingNick said on 2/Oct/07
tuga, I know what clip your talking about, the link didn' work for me. Could you post it again?
Chief said on 1/Oct/07
The listed height above for Undertaker is a bit too much. Let's not forget too that in the above pic with Frank, Undertaker is out in front gaining some camera advantage. Yes, believe it or not, a camera can have enhancing effects like that. I think the pictures with Spivey posted on 8/30/07(especially the ones where both men are standing straight side by side such as the one on the top-left) show that Spivey is a bit taller and therefore it is simply impossible for Undertaker to be 6ft7.5 . There is plenty of other evidence to support this too.
nick said on 1/Oct/07
wow where is this 6'6.5 claim, really outting to the extream low end. There is a video of the undertaker standing next to the rock and looks 5 inches taller even more
Da Man said on 1/Oct/07
Wight at 6'10", good luck providing evidence to support that.
Vegas said on 1/Oct/07
hey mark welcome back man :)
here is something that may interest you; type "Paul Wight" into the search box and you get more entries for Wight going back as far as 1990 (9 years before Vince decided to pick him up)
Click Here Interestingly over a 3 year period (1990-1992) Wight is always described as 7'1, Wight is described a number of times as the tallest player ever for WSU, despite the fact that Greg Dreiling played there too and he was listed at 7'1 in the NBA.
Alex said on 1/Oct/07
Mark, thats true. Andre couldn't have gotten away with 7'4 in the 2000's.
tuga said on 1/Oct/07
Jbl is shorter than Taker even in cowboy boots, check this video for example:
Click Here
Mark said on 1/Oct/07
I'm a huge fan of Taker and myself slightly let down at realisation that in reality is only 6'6 1/2 at best. Don't think he's lost height either. If he ever read pages would laugh at some suggestions, he'll never tell truth as long as with WWE. Wight - 6'10 like Andre, Singh 6'11 and Nash 6'9 max. All huge guys. Real giants. In years past Vince could get away with crazy billings of Andre but with net etc today wouldn't be possible. Andre tho was a true giant wrestler. For his size no one can compare.
nick said on 30/Sep/07
where are these jbl pictures
Supermanfan380 said on 30/Sep/07
I just put UT in the 6'7" range, that means I would not be shocked if he was 6'8", and may even wear raises at times too. There have been times he has looked as tall as Kevin Nash, and other times Nash has looked 2 or 3 inches taller than Taker.
Same thing with
Sid Eudy. Who I also put in the 6'7' barefoot range.
Nash I have in the 6'9" or 6'10" range.
Meaning if any of them varied by a full inch either way, I would not really be shocked, and would not change how I would expect them to look in person.
Alex said on 30/Sep/07
I still would give JBL 6'5. Not 6'6 plus.
Alex said on 30/Sep/07
Paul, I do think UT was 6'8 but up until 2000-2001 then he lost a bit of height at least. He's lost over an inch you can tell over the last several years. I think 6'6.5 looks accurate today with a 1.5 inch loss.
Paul said on 30/Sep/07
Thanks KingNick.
Nick, UT used to be taller, over 6'8 ( I think 6'8.5+ at one time) but not now. He is barely taller than guys like Viscera and JBL. When JBL has cowboy boots on he is taller than UT in normal footwear. JBL is likely just over 6'8 in them. There have been photos posted on here that confirm that fact. The two of them with Simmons and some other guys were shown in one particular shot. JBL in cowboy boots was tallest, then Taker. Taker had about 6' on Simmons who I think is 6'1. A 6'10 claim or anything near it is crazy.
I don't buy 6'6-6'6.5 for UT though Alex.
nick said on 29/Sep/07
give me one picture that says rge undertaker is 6'7, just one, my god, someone even was ignorant enough to even put 6'6, that would mean that a 7'1 khali would tower over him like a 6'4 over a 5'9 guy, no way more like a 5'11 to a 6'4 or even 6'0 TO A 6'4 6'5', only two inches taller than a 6'5 no way in hell, he somtimes even looked within 2 inches of the big show, this is rediculous,
KingNick said on 29/Sep/07
Paul, nice estimates there man
Alex said on 28/Sep/07
DaMan, pretty much in my mid teens I believed every billed height they had.
Paul said on 28/Sep/07
Alex I agree with you on some, a bit different on others. These are all current estimates.
UT- 6'7
JBL 6'6.25
Kane- 6'7.5
Rock- 6'3
HHH- 6'1.5-6'2
Big Show, 6'11.5
Lesnar- 6'2
Batista, 6'3
Angle- 5'10
Austin- 6'0.5
Orton, 6'4
Nash, 6'9.5
Hall- 6'4.5
Jericho- 5'9
Da Man said on 28/Sep/07
Alex, I agree with that list pretty much across the board. Although I think Nash is a very strong 6'9" (or a weak 6'10") and I still feel like Taker is 6'7" (ish) even today when he adopts normal posture.
Alex said on 28/Sep/07
I'm making a list of some wrestlers and the height I think they are today compared to what I thought 5 years and before since I bought pretty much all the billed heights. Really up until 2005 I bought most of the billed heights or thought they were pretty close to their billed height.
UT- then 6'10, now 6'6-6'6.5
Kane- then 6'11, now 6'8
Rock- then 6'5, now 6'2-6'3
HHH- then 6'4, now 6'1.5-6'2
Big Show, then 7'1, now 7'0
Lesnar- then 6'4, now 6'2
Batista, then 6'5, now 6'2.5
Benoit, then 5'10, now 5'8
Angle- then 5'11, now 5'10
Austin- then 6'2, now 6'0
Orton, then 6'5, now 6'4
Nash, then 6'11, now 6'9
Hall- 6'7, now 6'4
Jericho- then 5'11, now 5'9

well its hard to tell when ure trying to measure yourself up, i am 6'2 1/2 barefoot with my hair flattened, i could have been by his nose, 6'8 definetly, i know it for a fact, theres too much proof, he looks within 4 inches of big show in every single shot, look at the pictures of denis rodman compared to bigshow, undertaker carries himself as atleast 2 inches taller, come on, lets improve this great website by listing his real height which he has stated, and in all pictures is a 6'8 to 6'9 not a 6'7 to 6'7, there is a difference between the two. I mean does he look like a 5'7 1/2 guy compared to a 6 footer (his supposed height here to the big show.) no
KingNick said on 27/Sep/07
nick, where'd ya meet UT?
JK said on 27/Sep/07
''Alex says on 26/Sep/07
I think 6'4 is perfect for Orton. 6'3 seems a bit too short while 6'5 seems a bit too much. He's easily 6'5 or a bit more in shoes though.'' - I agree with that
Paul said on 27/Sep/07
Nick if you are 6'2 1/2 you would come higher than that.
Vegas said on 27/Sep/07
nick says on 27/Sep/07
you know seriously put mark down for 6'8, he obviously is closer to the height of khali than the 6'7, guy from the longest yard
Thats very true, Khali was 6" taller than Gary Godsey and only 5" taller than Taker. Taker had 2-3" on Tim Sylvia from what people say in the video (i have never been able to access myself it for some reason)
just out of randomness here is sid and brian adams (crush)

you know seriously put mark down for 6'8, he obviously is closer to the height of khali than the 6'7, guy from the longest yard, absolutly rediculous. I have met the undertaker a few times and i had asked him his height as of now and he said the lower end of 6'8 and his peek height was the upper end of 6'8 barefoot.. Im 6'2 1/2 and i was up to his mouth
Viper said on 26/Sep/07
Orton looks to be at the absolute, absolute most, 6-3 1/2 with 6-4 Snitsky there.

Yet you think he looks 6-5, LOL.

check out the vid from 00:13 to 00:24 UT certainly looks every bit of 6'10 at times
KingNick said on 26/Sep/07
Viper, the thing is a few guys here (including myself) have seen Orton in person. I wanst close close, but I was maybe ten feet away from him. My uncle is 6'4", they looked about the same. Randy Orton is relatively think for his size and as a wrestler so I think he can appear 6'5" at times.
Oh yea and I think UT is 6'8" :>)
JK said on 26/Sep/07
Viper man you need to get your eyes checked because 6'3'' for Orton is going nuts
Vegas said on 26/Sep/07
orton is no 6'5 (he looks it alot of the time but i have met him and he is 6'4, 6'5 in shoes).
edge is maybe 6'3 (but edges footwear is always suspect in the ring), here is edge with nearly 2" on hulk hogan in the ring in 2003
Click Here
There are plenty of pics of edge and pro-baseballers where he does look a legit 6'3 in streets.
Da Man said on 26/Sep/07
Orton looks like a 6'4" guy, 6'5" is stretching it a bit. That is unless you think Edge is 6'4", since Orton doesn't have more than an inch on Edge.
It's hard to believe Edge is 6'4" when Foley stacks up so well against him.

Vegas said on 26/Sep/07
Viper; JK's eyes are ok; he is correct Orton looks 6'5 in streets more times than not, you say he looks 6'3ish, that would put Batista at 6'0-6'1ish so in streets :D

mr helmsley said on 25/Sep/07
ya just face it, snitsky has orton by a little. and as far as taker is concearned, the man is still anywhere between 6'6''-6'8''! for those who feel that hes his height, why dont u leave this website alone! lol i think ppl just love to argue over nothing..
Viper said on 25/Sep/07
"This is a guy who certainly looks in the 6'5'' - 6'5.5'' range"
LOL, you need your eyes checked. Orton looks 6-3ish in street clothes. There is a small chance he MIGHT be a full 6-4. I will say there is a better chance of Orton being a full 6-4 than Rock being 6-3, or Triple H being 6-2 though.
KingNick said on 25/Sep/07
Haha thanks John R
John R said on 25/Sep/07
umm... get back to UT's height. possibly 6'10 at one time, look at decisive photos and interviews
JK said on 25/Sep/07
Orton under 6'4'' is just simply insane, This is a guy who certainly looks in the 6'5'' - 6'5.5'' range although 6'4'' is his real height, 6'3'' For Orton is just nuts, I say Orton is Legit 6'4''
Vegas said on 24/Sep/07
Viper; why am i not surprised you see Orton at 6'3 :D What's with all the 1/4 inches lately??
Snitsky is taller in 2 out of 12, Orton is taller in 3 out of 12, the rest they are exactly level, guys straight lines do not lie!!
Viper said on 24/Sep/07
I agree with Cantstop. I see Snitsky being taller in the majority of those. 6-4 for Snitsky and 6-3 1/4 for Orton.
TheMan said on 24/Sep/07
Lol that was a funnypic between cole and rey yeah wwes heights scales are ridiclous i remember there was a match with undertaker bigshow and great khali i think it was jbl who called undertaker a 7 foot clint eastwood or something. If youre 6,7 maybe even 6,6 then youre a 7 footer in the wwe lol.
Vegas said on 24/Sep/07
the camera angle is low throughout that staredown. Its on the shoulder of a camera outside the ring so can we really use that staredown at all is the question?? Orton's hair ain't giving him much either.
If you notice I drew the line lower on orton's head than snitskys (ortons hair is ABOVE the line i drew
Click Here ).
Canstop25; you said "looking at vegas pitures in every pic snitsky is clearly the taller of the two". I posted 4 where Orton was either level or taller, i could have posted 9 or 10 out of the 12 and drew lines and i bet Orton is not shorter in them either.
Footwear advantage or not for Snitsky; he was no bigger than ~6'5 in gear during that match with Orton.
The big ben/starks pic was not perfect because starks and ben are closer to the camera and snitsky is not standing straight (he is in a posedown of some kind). The staredown with orton is about as good as we will get
cantstop25 said on 23/Sep/07
vegas snistyks is clearly taller in that staredown, im not being bias at all as a matter of fact I actually had both snitsky and orton at 6'4" for a while, though recently he has appeared taller, and his staredown with orton was even more proof for me. you cant alwasy...actually most of the time measure the tops of the heads doesnt work unless they are standing side by side. You just got to use common sense in those types of pictures, especially with the low camera angle, and your not facotring in orton hair, snitsky's hair gives him basically nothing.
Alex said on 23/Sep/07
In my opinion both are the same height. 6'4 or Snitsky could be a bit taller at 6'4 1/2 at most. Snitsky being a little shorter than 6'5 Ben is what tells me how tall he really is. Not just that but if you look at Snitsky's boots, they look almost like Kane's old ones.
Alex said on 23/Sep/07
Isn't Cole taller than Tazz? Tazz is 5'7 at the very most.
Vegas said on 23/Sep/07
Jacobs didn't look 3" taller to me, maybe an inch
Click Here
i estimate jacobs to be around 6'8.5" in ring gear as of today (he was about 1.5-2" taller around 1999-2000). He was 2.5" taller than Big Ben who is approx 6'6 in shoes (of course kane could have been in sneakers too next to ben which would make him taller again in gear). That would put Hankinson at approx 6'7.5" in gear next to Kane here
Click Here if he really is 6'3 barefoot he is getting a 4.5" boost from them boots!!!!
Vegas said on 23/Sep/07
According to the WWE, Rey Mysterio is 5'6 and Michael Cole is 5'7 :D
This is the biggest 1 inch difference i have ever seen, lol

Jason says Mysterio is no shorter than 5'3, that would put Cole closer to 5'9 so in reality

Thats the problem though; everyone wants Snitsky taller or Orton shorter, people have already made their mind up before-hand. here are those photos again, orton is actually a smidge (perhaps a millimeter) taller in those
Click Here and
Click Here
there is no way Snitsky is 6'6, a 6'6 guy shouldn't look 2" shorter than a 6'4ish guy by moving slightly further from the camera
Click Here Snitsky is an inch shorter here
Click Here
i think having seen him with orton there is very little chance he is 6'5. Here he is looking 1" shorter than 6'5ish Hedienriech

like JT said "I think we’ve beaten this dead horse enough", we are not going to reach an agreement :D
cantstop25 said on 22/Sep/07
nice pic of the fake kane vegas, I never head the 6'3" claims(i wonder who made those lol) yeah id give him 6'6". kane looked about three inches taller but his boot orbably gave him an additional inch boost
cantstop25 said on 22/Sep/07
vegas you cant measure the tops of heads when the angle is lke that, not to mention the fact that snitskys hair gives him no boost in height. If you look at the pictures you can clearly see that orton is looking up into the eyes of snitsky
KingNick said on 22/Sep/07
Vegas, I hate to keep stirring the pot, but I gotta agree with cantstop25 and JT and Im guessing other people on here. In the majority of those shots, including the ones you posted here
Click Here and here
Click Here I think Snitsky looks a little taller. He looks about the same height as Hedienriech in that photo JT posted
Click Here I would say Snitsky is 6'5" or 6'6" but he looked shorter than the football player. Can someone post that photo again?
Vegas, I definitely agree with you about Hankinson.

We are talking about the tops of each head, i admit snitsky has bigger shoulders thats why he looks taller, i remember JimmyV saying that before, the guys with the bigger shoulders/features etc get billed taller because from the untrained eye point of view, that wrestler looks taller.
JT said on 22/Sep/07
This angle looks straight on here. Both are looking straight ahead, the noggins are about the same size, etc. (
Click Here) If Snitsky lowers his chin, the one inch difference would be apparent IMO.
Snitsky and 6’3” Edge (
Click Here) Edge measures up very well next to Orton, though I won’t go below 6’4” for Orton. Snitsky and at least 6’5” Heidenreich (

KingNick said on 22/Sep/07
Vegas, man, its OK! LOL it seems like mostly everyone on here agrees they're probably the same height barefoot.
Vegas said on 22/Sep/07
speaking of kane; anyone see the wedding on smackdown this week?? Drew Hankinson (fake kane) was sitting directly behind 6'4ish Chuck Palumbo and when they stood up Hankinson had about 2"+ on Palumbo, kinda throws out the 6'3 claims i have seem for Hankinson here (and the claims he wore lifts against glen jacobs too).
here is one screenshot i found
Click Here there are more though
cantstop25 said on 22/Sep/07
vegas I repsect you brother, but every pic you say orton is clearly taller....he clearly isnt
Alex said on 22/Sep/07
I agree with 6'4 for Snitsky, but is probably like 6'6 in boots and can look 6'7 at least on TV.
cantstop25 said on 22/Sep/07
orton and snitsky may be the same ehight bareoftt, but in the ring snitsky is clearly taller, looking at vegas pitures in every pic snitsky is clearly the taller of the two
Vegas said on 22/Sep/07
i did a recap of the 12 second staredown between snitsky and Orton. Snitsky keeps moving over and back throughout so it makes him look taller or shorter in some instances. The times are clearly displayed on each picture.
1 min 43 seconds Orton looks taller as Snitsky is further from the camera

1 min 44 seconds Both level, exact same height

1 min 45 seconds Exactly same height still

JT said on 22/Sep/07
Snitsky’s a tough one to figure out. He looks 6’4” in the pic with 6’5” Big Ben and 6’7” Max Starks. However, he could be around Ben’s height since he is farthest from the camera, and we can’t see anyone’s footwear. To me Snitsky looked at least an inch taller than Orton in the ring (
Click Here). He looked taller for most of that stare down even though both were swaying back and forth a bit. He does not have gigantic boots like the ones Kane occasionally wears so I doubt he’s getting an inch advantage in the footwear department over the other wrestlers.
Here’s Snitsky with Kane, whose boots are always suspect (
Click Here) (
Click Here) (
Click Here) (
Click Here)
Here’s Snitsky with Vince (
Click Here) and Viscera, who’s right around 6’7” (
Click Here). Here’s Snitsky with Heidenrich, who’s at least 6’5” (
Click Here).
Here’s Snitsky with JBL and Foley but there are probably too many variables in the pic
Click Here , including the footwear and whether the pic is level.
Wasn’t there a pic of Snitsky at Kane’s movie premiere where he looked taller than ~ 6’4” Dustin Rhodes in cowboy boots? Here’s one of the pics from that premiere (
Click Here)
I wouldn’t go below 6’5” for now. Snitsky was an offensive lineman for the University of Missouri football team back in the 1988-1992 era so it may take some digging to find a roster.
Jason said on 22/Sep/07
I'd lean towards 6'4'' flat for Snitsky, since he put 6'4'' on his MySpace.
Vegas said on 22/Sep/07
orton is clearly taller by an inch here
Click Here and at the end too, only the camera angle makes snitsky look taller, there are the same height for 85% of that video.
Alex said on 22/Sep/07
And remember Snitsky wears bigger boots too.
cantstop25 said on 22/Sep/07
snitsky is clearly taller in that video by atleast an inch. Im sticking with 6'5" for snitsky
Alex said on 22/Sep/07
Yea Snitsky can look 6'7 but his boots are always so big.
Ben is an actual measured NFL player at 6'5 barefoot but who knows could have been wearing timberlands but that still puts Snitsky at the very most 6'5.
JBL I can bet is about the same height as Ben.
cantstop25 said on 21/Sep/07
just becasue snitskys looked 6'4" in one photo doesnt make it set in stone that hes 6'4" yes he did appear that tall next to big ben however he has also appeared taller then JBL in causal wear. For all we know big ben could have been wearing timberlands, they would go with the clothes he was wearing
Derek said on 21/Sep/07
Snitsky is really 6'4", but lifts combined with his very long legs makes him look 6'7"-6'8". In bare feet, he's no taller than Orton.
Vegas said on 21/Sep/07
i was joking guys about snitsky btw.
are you guys watching the same video as me?? Orton and Snitsky are the EXACT same height there
Click Here
However sometimes Snitsky moves closer to the camera and this happens
Click Here
Sometimes Orton moves closer and this happens
Click Here
I thought Snitsky might be closer to 6'5 because his hat was as high as big bens and ben was closer to the camera snitsky's posture was poorer etc but i was wrong, snitsky is 6'4 on the dot. The WWE bill snitsky at 6'8 and Orton at 6'4 yet they are the exact same height, lol
Alex said on 21/Sep/07
Veags, yes Snitsky does look at least 2 inches taller than Orton there but in reality both are 6'4. Snitsky was a little shorter than 6'5 Ben Roethlisberger in a backstage photo last year. Snitky wears lifts while Orton doesn't. Thats the reason. But yea Snitsky can look 6'7 at least on TV.
KingNick said on 21/Sep/07
hmmm .... well, we saw in that football player photo that Snitsky was about an inch shorter, which would make him 6'4". Orton I think is a minimum of 6'5" in his boots. I've seen this guy in person and I think others would agree with me that saw him in person Orton is a TALL man. Maybe they're both 6'4" barefoot and Snitsky had more leverage in his boots.
Vegas said on 21/Sep/07
snitsky just 6'5 or 6'6. WWE says snitsky is 6'8, i believe them :D
look how much he towers over 6'4 Randy Orton 1 min 45 seconds in here
Click Here
TheMan said on 20/Sep/07
Undertaker is probably right now still one of the top five tallest in wwe i mean it's probably like this from what i know havent seen wwe for awhile. Please feel free to correct me.
1st Great Khali 7,2
2nd Undertaker 6,7.5 (I think he may even be second tallest still now bigshows gone.)
3rd Kain 6,7 not sure which on is taller him or undertaker.
4th/5th Snitsky,viscera,JBL or even lance cade all around 6,5 6,6.
So i think Undertaker is still one of the tallest wrestlers on the wwe roster. It's funny their arnt that many real tall guys still on wwe theres probably only a handful over 6,4 least i think.
