MK, how come that the height differences between them was the same both in 1990 but also in wcw 1998 ?!

I never mentioned 1990 or 98, but since you asked i'd say Hogan would have lost a good 0.5'' over that period, though would have been 1'' more in his early career.

warrior never had short guys like ric flair by more than 2 inches... i didnt believe it first but now i realize it, warrior was indeed only in the 6'1 range - which makes hogan not even a full 6'4 in his prime. even 6'3 is much more realistic than a ridiculous 6'5 claim!

Hogan was at least an inch below his peak when he and Warrior would even have been in the same room together let alone a wrestling ring, that would surely make Hogan at least 6'5'' at his peak by your own calculations.

Ola John tenta was measured at 6'5.75 there is no way he is 6'4. Secondly Warrior was 6'2 in his prime wich would make Hogan 6'5 because in the pics you posted warrior is standing as straight as possible as Hogan is bent if he was to stand straight he would have warrior by 3 inches. Ola anything under 6'5 for Hogan is completely out of question.

it is very possible warrior grew considerably after High school, boys continue to grow into their 20's many times Hulk Fan, we never saw him before or after high school, we can only judge him by his WWF/WCW days in which he looked 6'1.5'' average 6'2'' at his very peak.

Met him yesterday, im 6'1.5 and he was exactlay the same height as me, we were both wearing big timberland boots...i'l pots the pics soon...He was a really cool guy, talked with everyone nad signed loads of stuff.
he's still pretty huge as well.. Looked to be around 240lbs and lean.
sf said on 1/Feb/08
Rob - still think your height is pretty good, here. Not even close to 6'3". I still can't go higher than 6'1". People base too much on photos of wrestlers who are known to have big shoes, to stand on telephone books, etc. etc. to look bigger in pictures and on tv...

warrior and 5'11.5" Ric Flair, not even an inch in the difference when you discount warriors huge hair Click Here
Ben said on 9/Nov/07
Going to meet him on feb 9th next year , i'll see if i can get a photo with him stood next to me, il ask him his height and weight, im 6'1 and im expecting him to be 6ft. Ive got a bodybuilding magazine from 1984 or 85 with an article on him lists him as 6'3 and 275lbs. 20" arms cold, 28" thights, 19" calfs, 56" chest and 32" waist

Classic Ultimate Warrior pictures in 1990's. I think in his prime the Warrior is a legit 6'2". He is one of the most intimidating wrestler back in early 1990's and he is also a former WWE Champion and 2 time WWE Intercontinental Champion.

Hogan = 6"6
Warrior 6"3
Halb said on 16/Aug/07
U think Warrior could have been 6'5? What do you think Hogan was?
Halb said on 15/Aug/07
U'd say Warrior could be 6'4? What do you think Hogan was?
jav said on 31/Jul/07
How the hell could be be a few inches taller than 5"11 and a few inches shorter than 6"3??? a few is normaly consider 3. The ultimate warrior stated in an interview he was 5"11 when he left high school and ended up growing to 6"3 which is his current height when he was measured. don't forget the warrior was a big build guy which mite have made him apear a little shorter, but a slim body on him and u'd be guessing his hight as about 6"4 - 6"5.

I met Don Muraco in a lift in the Hilton New York in 2004, just before hall of fame. I was next to him all the way down from near the top floor. He is legit between 6'0 and 6'1, he wasn't much taller than me but he was much wider
Craiger said on 1/Jun/07
I personally havve alwasy had bulldog at 5'9" though he was taller then his wife who claimed 5'10" on her myspace.
Ted said on 23/Feb/07
I met Don the rock Muraco when he was bouncing in Wellington (NZ) He is billed at 6'3" but I think he only seemed 6'1". So there is quite a lot of exaggeration of height apparently of wrestlers.

I met Davey Boy a few times, I would say 5 ft 10 in to 5 ft 11 in
Anonymous said on 30/Jan/07
There was a good pic of him on the net standing with Davey Boy and Hacksaw at Summerslan 92. He had a few inches on the 5 ft 11 in Bulldog was was a few below Hacksaw, who I reckon is 6 ft 3 in.
Danimal said on 26/Jan/07
It's fair to say that he was between 6'5" and 6'6" then, but I am opting for 6'6", because right up until 1990, he was taller than 6'5" men.
Danimal said on 24/Jan/07
Of course you opt for the lifts in the boots. I doubt the man HAD to wear lifts in 1979-1980. He was a very tall and large man back then.
Kiat said on 23/Jan/07
The Ultimate Warrior looked to be 3 inches shorter than Hulk Hogan based on the pics provided by Legend Stopper. So I think Hogan was around 6'5" or so when he battled the Ultimate Warrior. This was one of the greatest matches in WWF history, the Ultimate Challenge! I loved the matches in the late 8Os and early 90s as compared to today. Ultimate Warrior was a very strong guy and I loved his finishing move. With him and Hogan joining forces, they are indestructible!

Hogan was down to 6'3 3/4 in 1990 at WM6. warrior was around 2 inches shorter
RKOchick said on 7/Jan/07
NO, he is not 6'1! When he was with (At the time 6'7) Hulk Hogan he was just a little shorter, i'd say about 6'3 maybe?
Danimal said on 21/Dec/06
bossman at 6'1.5"???? You are insane. He was at least 6'4". Hogan had about 2" on him. Bossman was listed 6'6"-6'7" (1-2" shorter than Hogan's listed height and that's what he was).
Jason said on 21/Dec/06
You are 100% right, SF. I've seen a lot of wrestlers in person (though most, being wrestling fans, don't believe my estimates) though not Warrior, but based on everything I've seen I would also have him just shy of the 6'1'' mark.
sf said on 20/Dec/06
Now, I know how Glenn feels after he's seen someone, stood rigth next to them, and people don't want to believe the height. He really wasn't taller than 6'1" and I am reluctant to go that high.
sf said on 19/Dec/06
That's my comment below regarding seeing him in Des Moines...
Danimal said on 19/Dec/06
What was interesting was to see how much closer in height he was to Hogan in 1990, then he was to him in 1998. Hogan appeared a lot taller than the Warrior in 1998, then he did to him in 1990.
Anonymous said on 18/Dec/06
No, just watched him for a while. And, I did pay special notice to his height, cause I noticed right away he wasn't as tall as I'd always heard. I studied him and really didn't think much taller than 6'. I assume he didn't have on any special shoes cause he was just working out at a gym in Des Moines, IA. I doubt he cared as much about his height then, but you never know. At most, 6'1".
Danimal said on 18/Dec/06
He was also billed at 6'4" at one point in his earlier WWF days and then reduced to 6'2". After the WWF steroid hearing/controversy, The Warrior also dropped from a 275-280 to 235 pounds, along with Davey Boy Smith, would went from 235 up to 275 and back down to about 240-245 pounds. Lets not even talk about Hogan's weight loss after 1991.
Jason said on 17/Dec/06
That sounds bang on to me, sf. Being a wrestling fan I would place him legimately at slightly under the 6'1'' mark. He was billed at 6'2''-6'3'' in wrestling. Did you interact with him at all?
sf said on 16/Dec/06
When he was working out at my gym, he didn't have on any special shoes, or casual shoes, or anything with a lift. Just working out, not caring what anybody thought, probably. Not taller than 6 to 6'1"...
Ray said on 15/Dec/06
There was only one Ultimate Warrior ever. I for a while thought there was more than one also when he reappeared during WM8 but that's just not the case. I got to meet him and shake his hand back in the later part of 1990 at a public appearance. I still have the pic - he was sitting on a countertop and shaking my hand. It was at Unclaimed Freight. I was only 10 at the time. All I can say is that he was huge; the veins in his arms looked like large cable wires. He had on flourescent reddish/pink pants and a yellow shirt; also had on black sunglasses; I'll have to pull out the pic one of these days. It was definitely a late 80's/early 90's outfit! - the good ol' days. I'll never forget it though; I was a huge Warrior fan....well still am (but Undertaker is my favorite wrestler). I remember saying to my parents "I'm never gonna wash this hand again" and I never did - HAHA just kidding :). My Dad is 5'11-6'0" and he said at the time that Warrior did look around the 6'2"-6'3" he was billed at since Warrior had a few inches on him. So, the 6'1.5" sounds about right; I'd say he's around 6'2".
Jason said on 6/Dec/06
I think Warrior could have been 6'0 1/2'' based on sf's encounter at the bottom of the page. He's a reputable poster here.
Derek said on 5/Dec/06
Looked 6'2" next to Hogan in 1990.
Ola said on 30/Aug/06
did warrior really had 2 inch on sting? i believe they're both 6'2
ultimate fan said on 18/Apr/06
sting has always been listed as 6'2 or 6'3 and when they were the bladerunners warrior was a couple of inches taller
Alex said on 8/Apr/06
I think he's about 6'2. No more than that.
sf said on 14/Mar/06
Yea - just saying it again. I stood almost right next to him at my gym, and I am reluctant to go over 6 feet.
Pam said on 13/Mar/06
I know for a fact that Jim Hellwig was indeed 6'3 feet tall.I am 5'10 and I don't recall having a problem kissing him.
Jason said on 11/Jan/06
hillybillyjim.com - pic 1 of gallery 4. 6'5'' Jim with the Ultimate Warrior. Warrior looks 6'1'' at best.
Zach said on 7/Jan/06
Hogan had around 3inches on Warrior in Wrestlemania 6 back in 1990.

I dont know if there was anything in Warrior's boots maybe there was since WWF wanted to bill this as an 'even' contest, champion Vs champion n all.

But the difference certainly wasnt in the 5" range which one would expect if Hogan was really 6'6/7 back then and Warrior was 6'1.5
Anonymous said on 1/Dec/05
I saw him speak on his "college lecture tour" and probably 6'2", 6'2.5" was his height with the big dress shoes he was wearing. So 6'1.5" or so is probably about right. Definitely wasn't as tall as my 6'3" friend.

And he was the only guy who was the "Ultimate Warrior"... there was some tabloid who printed he died of a heart attack from steroid use and his "twin brother" took the role, but it's just a bogus rumor/urban legend.

From gossip newsgroup: "Ultimate Warrior was not really big at all -- in fact, I'm 5'6" and I swear to you he wasn't that much taller than me. I became somewhat less than infatuated with him after seeing him up close and personal. He was also totally out of it. Zombified"
CelebHeights Editor said on 20/Jul/05
"When I graduated from high school, I was 5' 10" and weighed 155 pounds. Now I'm 6' 3" and depending on how long I've been on the road, I stay between 275 to 262 pounds" - Warrior from a few years ago.

Yea, I was pretty hardcore into it back in the day when I was younger and legends like Hulk Hogan were still wrestling. It just hasn't been good in the last 5 years in my opinion, though, but w/e, many poeple are still fans...I wouldn't exactly call it a stand in...from what I've gathered, more than 1 guy wouldn't play the role of a single wrestler at the same period of time...for instance if one wrestler was popular and his contract came up for renewal, the wrestling executives might hire a new guy at a lower salary to play that character. The same went if one guy called it quits and the execs still wanted to keep that character alive (lets say Doink the Clown for instance)...they'd just hire a new guy, have him be the new Doink the Clown and act to the public like nothing ever happened.
Anonymous said on 18/Jul/05
That's just a rumour, only one person has ever played Ultimate Warrior, and that's Jim Helwig.
Jason said on 1/Jun/05
Warrior is 6'1'' imo.
cantstop25 said on 21/May/05
Hulk Hogan was about 6'7" at his peak though and warrior was about 3 inches shorter. Hogan has shrunk big time he is now only like 6'4"
Marv said on 18/May/05
Most Pro-Wrestlers are billed about 2" taller than they really are..
cantstop25 said on 15/May/05
he was probably close to 6'3" at his peak
