Rob might you think about giving mane 6'8.5 peak? A guy his size would lose more than average by age 50.
Editor Rob
James, since he claimed this mark, I am listing him at the 6ft 8, I feel he was probably a bit shy of it.

Tyler Mane - 6ft8¼(203.8cm)
Kevin Nash - 6ft9¾(207.6cm)
Both have dropped maybe a small amount but not a full 1in...no way Hosé
Yeaton said on 7/Feb/17
Rob, who do you think is taller, Tyler Mane or Kane? (peak height and current height)?
Editor Rob
Mane is a pretty imposing figure, but he is more slender than Kane...I think even today Mane might actually beat Kane.

@ Baja74 - Hello Baja! How are you? You know, it has never occurred to me that there is an actor under that freaky ensemble we know as 'Michael Myers!' An actual human being with a name that I know now to be Tyler Mane! It does not come as a bolt from the blue that a wrestler was used to play him instead of a trained actor - what a good idea!
Actually, I never saw Michael Myers' character to be quite as enormous ad 6ft8; I would have said 6ft5 myself, and I am in the habit of overestimating the tall!
I last saw the film about a year ago. My copy is a flimsy 'free with Sunday Newspaper' variety, so it doesn't have extras or even much information about it written on its non-existant presentation package!
Tyler himself doesn't look at all unfriendly, does he, here with Rob? He looks like a regular dude with whom you might have a few drinks! I have heard references to his name over the years, but never did I know that he played Michael Myers in the Halloween films!
I hope you are enjoying this time of the year over in Oklahoma! I adore Christmas because everyone is kind to one another, like it should be all the time!
Cheers Baja!
Baja74 said on 1/Dec/16
I read in some interview where he said he slimmed down to 240lbs for Halloween. I would buy 6'7" first thing in the morning. Guys that tall tend to have a natural slouch because they are use to scrunching down in doorways and low ceilings, etc. Probably forget to think about posture on a daily basis. So, the fact that he is upright with Rob is pretty rare I bet.
At any rate, I thought he was too big to play Michael Myers. I always picture Michael as 6'0-6'2" and a slim 180-200lbs. But that's just my opinion.
S.J.H said on 14/Nov/16
Nice downgrade. But nothing could change him being 6'7 in real
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Oct/16
If Nash was really 6ft10 in the 90's (an arguable figure) then Mane could look a strong 6ft8/weak 6ft9
@HeightcrazyRed6ft said on 29/Sep/16
Rob, how about a current height? He looked easy 6§8" if Nash was 6§9"+ early nineties and today a bit taller than 6§7" ?

it's possible he lost half inch by now.

@Jeff7474: maybe he was wearing more footwear than you or you overestimated him. Btw You said in your previous post you were 6'4. Ali is closer in height so could tell the difference. with Ali Baba (albeit Mane is at a disadvantage of footwear) and with Rob (he had the advantage of footwear) he looks 6'7" flat and looks like he barely even reaches it. May even just be 200cm in the pics

yeah he could have dropped a fraction...it may be hard to tell between Mane/
Hafthor who would in fact measure taller, you'd probably need to see them barefeet together, even then it would probably be close visually.
Canson said on 20/Jun/16
@123: he is not 6'5. But not 6'8 either. Ali baba is 6'6 and was almost identical with Mane. He may be 6'7 but not any more than that and that's taking footwear into account. Prob he'd be 6'6.5-6'7
Jeff7474 said on 19/Jun/16
Tyler Mane is every bit of 6'8". I'm 6'4"1/2 barefoot and he absolutely dwarfed me. The guy is huge.

Canson said on 28/May/16
@S.J.H: your estimate is spot on! He looks about that with Ali Baba. Maybe at absolute most legit 6'7 worst case weak 6'7. I'd say low height is between 6'6.5-.75 no more than the latter but no less than the former. The people calling him 6'8 still are ridiculous esp when Ali who is about as honest as you get has persuasive evidence of the contrary

Tyler had 0.5-0.6 more sneakers than big rob. Over 6'7 is a joke. Probably measure right on the nose at 200cm evening/night but not under
James B said on 7/Apr/16
Even if he isn't 6'8 he's still a borderline giant at 6'7
High chance as well he was taller in his 20s.
Canson said on 7/Apr/16
I don't think there's a question that he could have lost height since his prime especially with the life he lives. Ali Baba said it himself. But 6'8 today? No chance. All things considered. Ali had been awake longer and was likely only a solid 6'6 (6'6 1/8 tops if he were reclined a bit). The 6'6 1/4 or 1/2 that people are passing off on him is because people don't want to admit Mane isn't 6'8. I'm 1 1/2" shorter than Ali and lose 1/2" myself in 2 hrs and can be down to around my normal low (or within a mm or two of it) by lunch as well if I'm out and about. The only exception is sitting reclined or laying. Otherwise regular sitting and standing or combination of will bring you to your norm (maybe 90% of your total loss for the "entire" 16 hr day) within 5-6 hrs generally. Footwear is 1/2" and Mane has about a cm maybe 1/2" on him. Makes Mane at most 6'7 maybe 6'6.75 at his lowest if he had the extra fraction of his morning. that's good enough to call him 6'7 but no more.
Canson said on 5/Apr/16
He looks "about" 6'7 with Rob and Ali Baba (given Ali's footwear advantage and him having 1/4-1/2" on him).
Ali Baba said on 5/Apr/16
Tilting his head back at that camera angle would actually give the illusion of being taller.
James B said on 3/Apr/16
Rob what do you mean his head is titled would even it out?
Editor Rob
he's got a slight tilt so if you add back a cm for that, then take a cm away for the hat.
James B said on 29/Mar/16
Rob how much height is Tyler's hat adding in the pic if you could guess?
His hat for sure touches the 6'8 mark lol
Editor Rob
it's got some ruffling in it and of course still hair underneath so it might be near half inch worth, but then his head is tilted a bit so I would say it might even it out.

A medical term gigantic height would be at least 7'0 or more, not 6'8. The vast majority of people with gigantism grow past that mark.

Canson said on 26/Dec/15
Its always possible Mane didn't lose a lot of height But that he was always a "disjointed" 6'8, Meaning someone who measures 6'7.5-6'7.75 or even 6'8 in the morning and is closer to a flat 6'7 at night time whereas Ali Baba is honest so he claims 6'6". if he is down to a flat 6'6 after two or three hours, Ali Baba would likely not make it to a doctor in the morning and still be over 6'6.5 if out of bed he is 6'6.75. My guess is Mane is 6'7 morning height now and Is under the 6'6 1/2 at his lowest esp if a day where he is on his feet a lot.

Nothing wrong with being 6'4 or 6'5 . I would NOT trade my height with 5'6- 5'11 guys. James B you are really posting BS. 6'4 and 6'5 guys are normal tall guys , very tall but normal . 6'4 and 6'5 guys aren't giants. 6'8 is different because this height is in another category . It's close to the giant range ( anything over 6'9) and really too tall.
You realize that ALL of which you stated is your subjective opinion and not fact.
Exactly danimal to a guy who is near 171cm such as myself 6'5 guys will look like giants. If I was the average of 5'10 though I think 6'5 would look how 6'2 or 6'3 people do from my perspective just really tall but not freakish.
Canson said on 2/Nov/15
Think it's pretty clear Tyler isn't the 6'8 that he claims barefoot. Maybe he was closer at one point but With Ali Baba, he looks to be a strong 6'6 and the benefit of the doubt is a weak 6'7 at best and probably during the day. In the picture with Rob, he looks similar once you take into account footwear and the fact his head is up. So in fairness 6'6 1/2ish looks legit barefoot.

@joe,
I agree too he wakes up at the upper end but Unless he consistently falls below 6'5.75 and meaning right before bed he is about as legit a 6'6 as it gets. That is the model definition of a certain height where someone starts and ends the day at or within a 1/4 inch of the height they claim and are the majority of the day.

I normally start out at around 6'6.75" and then end up around 6'5 & 7/8". I have seen 6'5.5" after a long day, but I think it just depends on the the day. Maybe hydration has something to do with it since I would imagine the spinal disks have a fair amount of water in them.

@1.95
If you're 190.5 cm out of bed, I'm guessing your normal height is 188, more or less. Not a bad height at all. You should be happy with that. Having a goal height is kind of pointless since you can't force your body to grow as tall as you want it to be. But if you're still growing, then good luck with that.

a percentage might prefer 5ft 11 over 6ft 4-5..
Some people have personalities that might make it more uncomfortable being 6ft 4-5 where 90% more people look/notice than if you are under 6ft (unless you are extremely good looking, then the eyeballs noticing you are probably similar to being 6ft 5).

It's a fair opinion to have but I do think you'd find very few men agree with that. I'm roughly 6'3" and I'd never trade my height with an average male height let alone 5'6". 6'4" - 6'5" guys aren't like pituitary giants who have short life expectancies and overgrown jaw bones, for the most part they face almost no disadvantages from being too tall. Aside from tight fits in airplanes and sports cars, finding clothing if you're extra thin, and "you're really tall" comments every now and again, there's really no downside to that range. Now 6'8" is a bit different, but I'd still take it over 5'6" if push came to shove.

People forget that being very tall is not good for your health or longetivity and is no guarantee to get girls being that tall. It's like how large dog breeds dont live as long as smaller dogs.

Yeah I kinda figured Kane would have a footwear advantage, that's why I said I wonder how big his lifts were. He's 6'1" max today, although I think he was probably about 6'2" at one time. Rob has commented that he's a guy whose back has definitely lost length. As far as Mane goes, I think 6'7.5" would actually be a fair listing. I bet he's taller than the Undertaker (who I think is 6'6.5" today, and was 6'7" flat in his prime).

So who would be taller? Kane or Tyler Mane?
Mane was closer to Nash in height than Taker, about an inch shorter,
Kane in Munsters @ WM14 wasn´t more than 1.5" taller than Taker in flat footwear.
So Taker and Kane around 6´7.25"-6´7.5" peak barefoot,
right now I think Taker was a quater inch taller so:
Peak barefoot:
Kane 6´7"-6´7.25"
Taker 6´7.25"-6´7.5"
Sid 6´6.75"-6´7"
Mane 6´7.75"-6´8"
Nash 6´9"-6´9.25"

Does Kurrgan have Acromegaly? His head and hands look much larger then Tylers.
Icehole73 said on 26/Mar/15
Both Ken K. and Kurrgan will be at a Chiller Theatre end of April in NJ. If anyone can tell me a good way to get an accurate measurement for these guys I will. Besides bustin out a tape measure. I thought of putting a mark on a wall or get a really good shot of us together and figure it from my height. I'll ask them as well.

Kevin Nash is listed as 6'10 in basketball, so I would say Kevin Nash is around 6'8 6'8 1/2 Tyler Mane at 6'8... both men were billed between 6'10 to 7 foot in wrestling....
Tunman said on 18/Jan/15
@Ali Baba
Well,you seemed rather close to him,possibly 1- 1.25"shorter assuming footwear and posture.
Rather a solid 6'7 for Mane,but an important question is whether he already lost height from wrestling when you met him.
Maybe a downgrade to 6'7.5" would be a better compromise,Rob?seems unlikely he already lost 1".
Ali Baba said on 12/Jan/15
When I met Mane a was still measuring a true 78". It's only recently (past year or so) that I have been measuring the 77.5". I still think he's max 6'7".

Danimal , how tall are you?
These days I'm pretty consistently 5'9 3/8" (can measure 5'9 5/8" on some days and even as high as 5'9 3/4" on some days). Was 5'10 1/8" consistently from 2001 until 2006 (measured myself a lot during those years), but due to heavy weightlifting and bad posture, I've gradually gone down to my current height.

[Editor Rob: big weights might be a reason, but a lot of folk who lose a small fraction probably don't even realise it.]
What about the head tilting thing?
[Editor Rob: as I said it is easier to explain in person when measuring someone, but generally what I'd say is look in a vertical mirror. Tilt your eyes up a bit so they look like they are near the top of your ear. Now tilt your eyes down so they look in line with the top of the middle opening part of your ear. That's a bit too high and a bit too low...it's kind of between those so your eyelevel looks a bit above the start of the ear opening but obviously not as high as the top of the ear.]
I'll give it a go! Cheers.

Yeah, I never know how to place my head when I'm looking straight at the wall. I don't know if I'm looking down or up and I believe that it plays a factor in whether I turn out to be taller or shorter in my measurement, because the measurement does tend to vary with test and retest reliability.
And unfortunately, I have lost height. I used to measure consistently 5'10 1/8" in the morning, but today, I average at 5'9 3/8" to 5'9 3/4" (with one 5'9 3/4" measurement last month). I account this real height loss to both heavy weight lifting since age 11 and poor posture over the years. While it's easy to fully blame it on G, I'd rather take partial responsibility ;-)

Well looked to edge Ali Baba in those earlier set of pictures however; does not look anything beyond the 6'6 range with Rob, especially considering he had the footwear advantage.
Ali Baba describes himself as a weak 6'6, so yeah --- a height between 6'6.5 -- 6-7.25 for Mane.

@CaptainSpaulding
Well when he took that photo with Mane he was a solid 6'6. Taking into account footwear in those photos that would make Mane 6'7 flat maybe. In the photo above with Rob he looks a strong 6'7 to me.
Ali Baba said on 21/Oct/14
No, I did not have a problem standing straight. The disks in my back were just that compressed from wearing a ballistic vest and heavy belt with a bunch of stuff on it. Now the belt itself shouldn't have affected that since it sits down on the hips, but the vest would contribute to it.
Greg (6'1'') said on 16/Oct/14
@CaptainSpaulding: Actually, Ali Baba measured himself recently and got 6'5.5'' at night. When on your feet a lot, you will be at or near your low for a majority of the day, so 6'5.75'' or so is, for all practical purposes, his true height. I don't know where you're seeing Mane having 'at least an inch' on Ali Baba, it's hardly anything, more like 0.5''-0.75''. Factor in the footwear, and Mane is coming out at 6'7'' tops.
In the above photo, Rob is clearly over Mane's shoulder, and Mane also has a 0.6'' footwear advantage, so a 6'7'' Mane is bearing itself out in Rob's picture as well.
Jimbob said on 3/Oct/14
I always thought Kurrgan out of most of the tall wrestlers was a genuine 6,9, his physique is deceptive because his shoulders slope quite a lot, making his neck look longer. Can't see him being anything less than 6.8 at his lowest. As Ali Baba says though it's a difficult photo to make a
judgement on.
Ali Baba said on 2/Oct/14
I'm not sure. That's not a good picture to make a good judgement from in my opinion. It's possible that if they stood side by side they could be pretty close. From what I've seen Kurrgan wears very flat shoes though.
Jimbob said on 2/Oct/14
How tall do you think Kurrgan is Ali Baba, in relation to Tyler Mane?
Ali Baba said on 1/Oct/14
Kurrgan looks to be leaning in a touch. That or his head is just gigantic. It actually looks like Mane's shoulder height is at least as high and possibly a touch higher. Here's Mamun with Kurrgan for reference.
Click Here
Jimbob said on 28/Sep/14
Interesting. Robert Maillet (Kurgen) definitely looks taller.
Think his billed wrestling height was 6'10 to 7 feet. Believe he
Is 6'9 and looks two inches taller to me in this pic.
176,2Tunman said on 27/Sep/14
Rob,could you tell me where the top of your head would be if you took a perfect pic?
I think he's a legit 6'8 but I just fail to see 12.5"difference here it seems less.And curiously his head looks no bigger than yours although I doubt it's less than 10"
Editor Rob
he's tilting his eyelevel up a fraction so reducing his head size from maybe 10 range to nearer just 9.
to get a perfect photo is very hard because you'd need to put the camera at 5ft 8 high so there would be no advantage to a taller person. It is easier to look at someone like Baba who is nearer in height to Mane to see there's not much difference.

Ali baba at worst you are 6'5.75 in your low at free days. Maybe you lost a bit of height or maybe you under measured yourself. Are you sure your posture was good in that measurement ? Maybe you don't stand straight in that measurement because you were tired after 11 hours of work.

I've never had the pleasure of meeting Garrett or Moll. I believe they're pretty close to 6'8" just going off of what I've seen on T.V. They could be a little under that, but I don't think by much.
6'6 & 3/4" is the highest I've ever seen straight out of bed.

Ali Baba, I wish to apologise for undermining your genuine height & no harm intended. In my opinion, not many tall individuals declare their actual heights barefeet unless necessary. Presumably, most men would prefer to be taller instead of shorter. Again, I've much respect for your sincerity.
Ali Baba said on 14/Sep/14
I can actually get down to 6' 5 and 7/8". At 45 I may be on a downward slide. Even though I can do a lot of athletic things pretty well I'm not what I would call an athlete, but I do try to not get too out of shape. I was In the military for many years so I had to stay in shape for that (I still hate running), and with my current job it's important as well. My dad had the same body type as me and had his first heart attack in his early to mid forties and passed away at 62, so I really can't afford to let it get out of hand. He was 6'6" as well and was probably around 6'5" when he passed. Maybe even a tad under. He was quite a bit heavier than me, though, and was around 320 to 330 pounds for a good portion of the last 20 years of his life.

Arch Stanton said on 14/Sep/14
@Ali Baba did you ever do wrestling or sports or anything? In some of the photos you do look like a retired wrestler or something. You can look 6'7" like in the Mane photo but I believe you when you say you're a solid 6'6 barefoot, as a lot of people underestimate how big a proper barefoot measurement at lowest at that height is. I do think though that Mane can look 6'8" a lot, but it is difficult to guess exactly for a guy this big.
Andrea said on 13/Sep/14
Ali really does look 6'6 minimum... Ali are you 6'6 on the dot at your lowest? A friend of mine is a strong 198 (measured) and you have to be similar! Of course, it's really hard to see someone who is taller than him and ,if you add the fact that he's very thin, he can easily pass for 6'7+ to people!
Ali Baba said on 13/Sep/14
V.C., I am 6'6" barefoot. I don't exaggerate, nor do I under sell my height. I don't disagree with much with the majority of your post though.
V.C said on 12/Sep/14
I've been observing tall guys for years so my best guessed is Ali Baba is 6'6" with shoes & both Tyler Mane & Kevin Nash are the same height at almost 6'7". Therefore, these two big guys are actually 6'6" on socks & Ali Baba is 6'5" on socks. Frankly, it's both logical & practical to measure anybody with shoes. After all, everybody wear shoes.

Ali Baba said on 25/Aug/14
Again, Dicksock, I know for a fact that I'm not 6'6.5" at that time of day. I had been up for more than 6 hours at that point and lose height very quickly. I have verified that I'm down to 6'6" after only two hours. You really think someone only loses a 1/4" in 6 hours? Height loss throughout the day is not a linear thing. Also you can't factor in daily height loss for one person and not the other, and I guarantee that I had been up longer than Tyler when that pic was taken. And please point out where you believe the extra inch is that you think he has over the shoes. Posture is about as close as you could ask for and our eye level is the same. So he has a full inch extra from his eyes up?

__________
Ali Baba told me he is 6'6.75" out of bed. That means he was ~6'6.5" at the lowest at the time of meeting Mane. He had a significant footwear advantage over him (at least .5") and Mane still looked around 1" taller. Mane is 6'8". It wouldn't surprise me if he were closer to 6'8.5" in his prime and over 6'9" in his wrestling boots.
Jeff7488 said on 14/Aug/14
Tyler Mane is a legit 6'8". I'm 6'4" and he towered over me when I met him. He's a huge dude, very lean. One of the nicest celebrities I've ever met. Top shelf guy all the way. Same with Derek Mears. These two guys are their listed heights here.

@RobV Probably because he was a wrestler at one point time. Those guys are known to exaggerate their height purely to paint a larger then life image. It doesn't exactly mean that he wants to be 6'10 or anything.
Fern194cm-192cm said on 11/Aug/14
Truthfully I think its fair to claim any height that you hit during the day. In a world of liars and exaggerators I think someone who is 6,7.25 in the morning has every right to claim 6,7
Jon said on 11/Aug/14
@RobV Probably because being so tall is a large part of the identity of a lot of very tall guys like Mane, especially considering he's an incredibly tall actor. A height of 6'10 rather than 6'8 sounds larger than life tall. I imagine in his teens he probably had an issue with being so tall, probably going around claiming 6'5 range.
Clay said on 10/Aug/14
Why do we care about other photo's when he is at least a foot taller than Rob, who we obviously certifiably know is 5'8.25? My guess would be Ali is actually like 6'6.5.
Lillo thomas said on 10/Aug/14
Fern194-192. If your brother is 6'6.25 as a his low , he should claim 6'6. He could round up to 6'7 ,if his lowest is atleast 6'6.5 or 6'6.75. He should round down and claim 6'6.
RobV said on 10/Aug/14
Interesting again isn't it? A guy who is already tall (spectacularly so) claiming taller. If being so tall is such a bad thing, as a lot of people who are not as tall as this say it is, why are all these very tall guys inclined to say they are taller than they are? Why is this guy not saying "I'm 6'5"/6'6" "
Fern194cm-192cm said on 9/Aug/14

If you think there's 2 inches between Mane and Ali Baba then you are either high or delusional. Maybe both. I see approximately an inch between them. Take into account footwear and you can throw in .25, .5 at the MOST. An easy 6'8 for him is a joke. You are probably the same guys that actually believe that Kevin Nash was 6'10 in his prime.

Next to Ali Baba he's leaning and has slightly less footwear, so over 6'7 is very likely. Tuga's photos are best for comparison

I wonder how these are ignored, same as to jt´s comparisons, he´s for sure an easy 6'8 next to Ali Baba, who again looks someone we can trust, he even said he had half an inch more footware.
He even looks inches taller than cudmore with Rob, but as rob exlplained footware was the reason so we can cut an inch but he still does look a bit over an inch taller than cudmore.

Yep, i always wondered that too... There's no 6'5 guys on here who look as tall as the challenger with Rob! But Rob said sometime ago that the challenger guy looks 2 cms taller than he is because he is closer to the camera, so i guess that's the reason why...
---
I agree no 6'5" guys look as tall. The challenger 15 picture puts into perspective how tall a legit evening 6'5" is. Then again, I don't think his photo should be used as a catch-all for how a 6'5" guy will always look. There are variations in footware, posture, head tilts, camera angel, etc that come into effect in other pictures. I do think it's a useful picture to keep in mind. Do I think challenger 15 would edge out Ken Kirzinger? I could believe it, but then again I could also see them being even. Kirzinger looked 6'5" to me, or close enough that I believe there's a good chance he'd measure it. Challenger 15 looks 197 - 198 cm to me in the photo, but we know he's more like a legit 196 cm. For what it's worth I think Joe Manganiello is probably not quite a legit 6'5" guy (but likely over 6'4" flat).

The challenger
Kostas said on 29/Jul/14
How long do u think Tyler's head is Rob? Also how tall is the con goer? He looks 1.81-1.82.
Editor Rob
I would guess he was a solid enough 5ft 11
JT said on 29/Jul/14
Rob, I never use the “ruler” to measure head length in full body shots since to be technically correct, the ruler would have to be scaled so that each increment is largest at the level of the camera and then smaller above and below that level. The ruler method is still very accurate in assessing overall height (I’ve done this for countless NBA players whose heights we know). The 6’3.5” challenge guy comes out at about 6’3.5” as well, unless you’re assuming the gap from his eyes up is abnormally large. My point again is that your two pics with Challenge 15 guy are misleading as to his actual height and therefore tend to screw up comparison photos. Maybe a new photo is in order if possible.

At least 6'8 out of bed or in his prime. Looks it with Rob.

I took my wife to see the movie Troy. Tyler Mane played Ajax. But my wife confused him with Nathan Jones who is even bigger. Can it be that women see all big guys as looking alike once they reach a certain size?
Dago Red said on 28/Jul/14
Sure looks legit 6'8" or even a bit more. Looks much leaner than 275 lbs, which is what he said he weighed in X Men, but it has been a while and he probably lifts lighter than he used to. I think he was in Joe Dirt, too.
JT said on 28/Jul/14
Rob, no one can honestly look at your pics with the challenge 15 guy and not conclude he “looks” 6’6” minimum. Your posture looks very good with him as well and better than probably most of the pics you have with other guys around his measured height.
Click Here He even comes out well against guys ~ 4-8 inches taller
Click Here Maybe the sweat pants are hiding his being on his tippy toes….
IIRC this challenge guy measured ~ 6’3.5”
Click Here Click Here
I have not looked at all your pics but I have a feeling challenge 15 guy will make every other celebrity end up at least one inch lower than what you have that person listed at. In the world of statistics, he’s known as an outlier data point....
Editor Rob
he's not an outlier, just a legit 6ft 5 guy.
The young guy has about 7.25 inches on me in reality...but I am not sure why you are having him as 6ft 4 range in the ruler ;) My head isn't a fraction over 10 inches :)
Using my head as the ruler (since it's a known length), he has
This much of a rob head more than me.
Which when you see how high
7.5 inches comes up my forehead, I think it shows he has a fraction less, so I believe the young chap photo was quite accurate for showing 6ft 3 3/8ths versus 5ft 8 1/8th.
Jenny is a few more feet further away from us with the young chap than with the bigger guy.

Rob i said you didnt answer my question, how tall would my stepdad be in normal shoes? 6ft 6 or just below it?
Editor Rob
some shoes might give about 0.7-.9 range, so it won't be a huge difference from where your eyes look when he's barefoot.
I mean my eyes generally would look at chin of near 6ft 1 man
KROC said on 28/Jul/14
@Red183
Ken Kirzinger below 6'5? I wouldn't bet on that. Not calling you a liar or anything but he looks it in every photo I've seen of him, especially the one with Rob. Everyone on his page seems to agree unanimously on this. Everyone except you I believe. 195cm is the worst for him, but I doubt that even.
The most I could give Tyler is 6'7.5. I'm not seeing a legit 6'8. The Ali Baba pictures are easier to judge for me because they are so close in height. In the picture with Rob, Manes craning his neck making him appear taller. I do think there's close to a foot between them-the keyword here is CLOSE.
Connor 183cm said on 27/Jul/14
You didnt answer my question Rob
Connor 183cm said on 27/Jul/14
Rob my stepdad is 6ft 5 flat when we are both barefeet im looking at his chin when face to face, but when he's in shoes and im still barefeet im still kind of looking at his chin maybe a bit lower how tall would that make him in shoes? could he be almost 6ft 6 or a full 6ft 6?
James B said on 26/Jul/14
Height challenger 15 looks a shade less than 196cm compared to the 6'6.75 x men actor rob had his photo taken with.
JT said on 26/Jul/14
The problem with using Challenger 15 for comparisons is that for whatever reason, he appears taller than he really is with Rob.
Click Here Click Here Sort of like how Kobe Bryant looks 4+ inches taller than Michael Phelps.
Click Here If Challenger 15 leveled his chin off, he’d still have a full head size on Rob and he’s standing a little behind him too. That's 6'6"+ considering Rob's actually a little over 5'8". That's why one pic alone is never enough to pin down a person's height.
Editor Rob
shooting portrait can sometimes add height, other times maybe not. With the challenger I was using a lens and putting Jenny in a position so there was minimal distortion in the vertical distance.
A slight difference in making a head length ruler could mean another inch or even an inch less when creating a comparison ruler ;)
I believe
this is 10 inches and adding another 10 inches to get the 6ft 6 mark shows him around what he was measured.
tj said on 25/Jul/14
Just shows how weird the world is about height when even a guy of 6'8 feels the need to add 2 inches.

Is Tyler Mane's 6'10" claim really that crazy Rob!? Is it completely off the table and unarguable!? I mean, the Top of Mane's Head looks easily over a Foot Higher than yours Rob (like 14 inches), just draw some horizontal lines on the picture! I'm thinking Tyler Mane could be close to a Weak 6'10" early in the Day, and probably close to a Solid 6'9" by Late in the Evening, his Height should really be at least 6'9"! In my honest opinion 6'8" seems a tad too low from looking at the above picture!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Mane himself only claims 6'8". Others have noted it in print and he told me himself he's 6'8". His 6'10" claim was when he was wrestling.
Vegas said on 24/Jul/14
@KROC, you question reds in person estimation of kirzinger based on his shot with rob and yet mane looks the best part 3 inches taller next to rob than kirzinger so you can't have it both ways..
Click Here
either red is right and kirzinger is shorter or red is wrong which makes mane taller than you think!
Red183
Not sure what your talking about. Ken Kirizinger looks an easy 6'5 next to Rob. If anything hes probably the most legit 6'5 ive seen on this site. Maybe you saw a lookalike lol
Derek Mears isn't a legit 6'5... He didn't look any different then Jared Padalecki in Friday the 13th. I'm not sure what pictures you guys are seeing but Tyler Mane barely looks like he's hanging on to 6'7 next to Baba.
Jimbob said on 24/Jul/14
Rob - if you think he's around 6'8, would you consider him 6'9 in footwear?
Editor Rob
in inch footwear yes :)
SaveUsY2J said on 24/Jul/14
Next to Ali Baba he's leaning and has slightly less footwear, so over 6'7 is very likely. Tuga's photos are best for comparison
Connor 183cm said on 24/Jul/14
Rob i looked at that pic of Big C comparing with the photo of you and Tyler and yeah he seems more of a weak 6ft 8 so are you considering downgrading Tylers height to 6ft 7.5 (202 cm)?
Editor Rob
I think giving him 6ft 8 is fair (the point is that raising his eyes up just helps make it look more)...there is always a chance Tyler has lost a fraction I guess like similar guys in that age range and height, maybe like big Nash aswell...
KROC said on 24/Jul/14
@Clay
Ali Baba doesn't look anything over 6'6 in pictures. He mentioned he was in the Army for a time. So was I. Being in the military, you know what your height, weight, bodyfat%, neck and waist size is to a tee. If he was over 6'6 I'm sure he would have said so. In my opinion some of you guys are trying upgrade him so you won't have to downgrade this guy. In that case you might as well upgrade Lou Ferrigno, and Michael Rooker while your at it.

6'4.5 for Kirzinger? I thought he looked a legit 6'5 with Rob. Joe M is more of 6'4.5
---
Yeah I'd go a full 6'5" for Kirzinger, somewhere between 6'4" and 6'5" for Joe M (weak 194 - legit 195 cm range). Mane looks pretty close to 6'8" here. I wouldn't rule out 6'7" and change, mostly because of the Ali Baba pics, but he's definitely looking about 6'8" with Rob.
the shredder said on 23/Jul/14
I see a foot here , I actually think Kevin Nash looks shorter.
Tuga said on 23/Jul/14
Ali Baba looks what he claims, he was a bit over 1 inch shorter in half an inch bigger footware and having better posture, mane looks easly 6'8 all things considered:

He's got a little over a foot on Rob, 6'8''. I have no idea what is up with Ali Baba and his pics, but he looks more than 6'6''.

I think 6'7.5" minimum, looks closer to 6'8" than 6'7" to me
Joe257 said on 22/Jul/14
OK, maybe 6'10" is a tad too tall for Tyler Mane! But, how about 6'9"!? Just look how much taller he is than Rob (a strong 5'8")! Mane looks more than a FOOT (12 inches) taller than Rob! No Joke!
Editor Rob
remember Tyler's eyelevel is raised up an inch so his head reduces in size and his chin is 1 inch higher than it might normally be...
I have given Tyler some more height for the slight tilt and put him beside Big C (a solid 6ft 5)
Click here.
Knock off 0.6 inch from that line for Mane's footwear advantage.
Mathew said on 22/Jul/14
He's clearly a bit taller than Cudmore (who has claimed both 6'6" and 6'7") but next to Ali Baba a legit 6'8" seems pretty questionable. He does look close to that mark in the photo above though. Maybe he's 6'7.5"?
KROC said on 21/Jul/14

Andrea said on 21/Jul/14
Yeah, that's what i said. He really isnt much different from Cudmore but, just looking at their pics, many people would say the opposite. I'm not one of them, though... But the question is: does he really look a big 6'8 guy with Ali? Nope... You are 100% sure he's not under 6'7 and nearer 6'8? Btw, how tall is that congoer? Around 5'11-6'? It would be interesting to see him with guys closer to his height so you can have an idea of how tall he is.
Editor Rob
yeah, do bear in mind that footwear isn't known, but have a look through his photos here as it is worthwhile seeing a few other guys (you can see with Chris Lloyd he might be a guy who wears typical inch range sneakers)
Click Here.
from looking at his pics I'd have guessed him about 5ft 11
Jimbob said on 21/Jul/14
I still think Ali's estimation is correct, can't see him being over 6feet7 unless in thick soled running shoes, dress shoes or wrestling boots. If he stands a strong 6feet7 he could easily gain a near two inches in footwear height. Standing at 6feet6 and a half, I've had people guess me anything from 6feet7 quite regularly to the ridiculous 6feet9. I think when you get to around two metres it gets harder to guess because of the height difference when people are looking up.
Sam said on 21/Jul/14
I thought he does look a bit taller than Cudmore by about an inch, but more generous footwear and throwing his head up gives him more superficially in the photo compared to the more relaxed Cudmore. He definitely could be a bit sub-6'8" as backed up by Ali's photo. Mane kind of looks surprisingly lean but with relatively big biceps, probably doesn't have to maintain as much weight as more of an actor than wrestler these days, not massive all around quite like Nash.
jtm said on 21/Jul/14
lol at 6'10
Andrea said on 21/Jul/14
Yeah, that is what i was talking about... Joe's comment! Show this picture to random people and i'm sure a lot of them would say he looks much taller than guys like Daniel Cudmore with you! But he's not... It's just these poses that for some reason make people look taller than they are! It would have been interesting a pic like this with Cudmore... Just remember Joseph Gatt can really look near 6'1 with you when he really is not much over 6'!
Editor Rob
Cudmore really isn't far off Mane. If there is more than 1 inch between them I'd be shocked as in person there wasn't more than a 2 inch difference (considering Cudmore had 0.4 in less than me and Mane has 0.6 in more than me)
here is an American con goer with 3 big guys (he has more pics on his site): With
Cudmore
Nash
Mane

Well, i think this pics is giving some kind of advantage to Tyler... With Ali he really doesn't look over 6'7.5 and, as Rob says, i think it's easier to see a difference when people are closer in height.
The Horse of FUNK said on 20/Jul/14
Yay for a third post. But looking at the photos of Jonathan Frakes and Joe Bunger on the front page, the difference is actually kinda jarring. Mane's entire head, the bottom of his chin, is inches over Rob's head where as Frakes and Bunger.
6'8" for sure, 6'7.5" at the least.
The Horse of FUNK said on 20/Jul/14
Reminds me of someone who said 6'6" blends in with every day crowds in the general height thread. Some people are seriously detached from reality lol.
The Horse of FUNK said on 20/Jul/14
I think Ali Baba merely caught him on either a bad day or just in a very relaxed moment. If he's not 6'8", then I can see him at a strong 6'7" like 6'7.25" or 6'7.5". Ali Baba's pic definitely proves he's not the 6'10" giant he's often reputed to be, though.
Alex 6'0 said on 20/Jul/14
I see nothing less than 6'8 here
