Da Man, it should be noted BDV had rotating footwear, sometimes he wore bigger than other times. I believe I've seen him wear 3 different thicknesses, up to about 1.75". Kane's boots are generally 1.5", different angles make them look smaller or larger. There's a staredown where he comes out less than .5" shorter than Kane, and some where it's closer to 1", I believe the difference between them is about .75" putting them at 6'7.5" and 6'6.5-.75". I don't think I've ever seen Kane come out more than 1" taller than BDV in even footwear, but Taker was 1-1.25" taller than BDV in 1995...with a clear footwear disadvantage.

everyone loves to disregard kanes horrible posture in the staredowns with vis and the camera angles with him and goldust.

Based on the Max Starks pic, Vis has be brushing 6'7". He's definitely nothing under 6'6.5" at minimum, and a flat 6'7" isn't out of the question at all.

Agreed. Funny how YOU ignore how Viscera is LEANING his head like that Danimal. Christ you're almost as bad as someone like Viper when it comes to going too low for wrestlers. Keep thinking Jericho is 5'8''.

Vegas Hogan was 6'4 tops back the days. jake is 6'5, clearly a inch. hogan was never over 6'4 i'll give him maybe 6'4'5 max

Vegas says on 1/Nov/09
miko; lets get back to your previous point, "stacking up to 7"0 guys and towering the 6"4 guys back in the 80's"

lets see evidence of either, i cannot think of one legit 7 footer hogan stood next to in the 1980s, the first legit 7 footer i saw next to hogan was shaq

personally i think hogan was 6'5 (what he claimed on bbc in 1991 when questioned), what mark madden pinned him at in 1989 and what gordon solies site has him at Click Here today he is down to about 6'3.5, a massive height loss for someone so young who can still run/wrestle

miko says on 1/Nov/09
So you saying Hogan is 6"4 and always has been?

That would make a peak Andre the Giant 6"9.

If Hogan hasn't lost any height, then he was wearing HUGE lifts back in the 80's to look so much taller than he does today.

dicksock says on 31/Oct/09
I'd give Kane 6'7". He was the same height as Big Daddy V for a fact. There's a staredown between them and there is only one conclusion one can reach after viewing it. There the same height. Now the thing is, I don't know if viscera was given lifts for his BDV gimmick. Also, the video of Kane and 6'6" Goldust backstage is pretty strong proof that Kane wasn't over 6'8". I don't care what anyone here says, there is no way,shape, or form Kane had more than an 1" or so on Goldust. If anything they looked the same height. So I'd say 6'7 for Kane and 6'9"ish in lifts. I'd give taker 6'7.5" maybe.

Shorty says on 31/Oct/09
How tall is Jericho? I never pictured him at more than 5'10" but watching him standing face to face with Kane tonight, Kane at times looked like he had only about 7" on Jericho.

Anyways I certainly belive in his prime, Kane could very well have been 6'9" standing straight up. Now days, I think 6'7.5" is a fair estimate especially considering his knees. If he could stand up straight, he may be 6'8" or damn close.

sid says on 30/Oct/09
Da Man isn't shad 6'6, kane has 2 inches making him 6'8, maybe kane had 3 inches if shad is 6'5

Kane has more than 2" on Shad.

Shock says on 21/Oct/09
I read through the Dutch story, been waiting for his Glenn and Austin editions since I read the Taker one. I find it interesting, while still preserving Kayfabe for the bills to some extent, he does in fact list Glenn at 6'9" three times, and then lists Mark 6'10". I've also heard reference that Paul Bearer has independently verified that Mark is taller than Glenn but I can't find the quote anywhere. I sent him an email over a month ago asking about that and some other things, but he never responded. Nevertheless, this is now 3 guys on the inside who have stated Taker's a little taller.

Shock says on 21/Oct/09
sid, I met Shad in April at MSG, I don't think he's more than a mid 6'5", I'm not 100% certain but I know 6'6" and he didn't seem it even in his workboots.

hs2009, I agree BDV is very close in height to Max Starks, but still slightly shorter. The most I can give him is 6'6.75", he might be 6'6.5" as listed on here. As for Kane, if you do some composite work, he comes out less than 1" taller than Max, and 2.75" taller than Big Ben. It's safe to assume both Max and Ben are in sneakers which would be comparable to Kane's current 1.5" minimum wrestling footwear.

I would say 6'8" for Kane is a respectable estimate and I wouldn't argue with it if he claims it, but he has claimed 6'8 1/2" specifically. Could be a doctor's office early morning height and at his probably 6'7.5" I wouldn't argue with that either.

The thing that irks me is his 7' bill is like an Andre the Giant bill since it's so much more than usual. They really only gave him that because they wanted the character to be taller than the Undertaker. Previously Glen never had any bill higher than 6'10" which is a totally reasonable bill for him. They went out of their way with the huge lifts at the onset of the character and the only way they could really ensure that was for Taker wear very small footwear. So basically a 6'11" bill was in order, which, kind of seems like what they've always wanted which is why they give him "near" 7 foot so much.

In the last few years they've stuck in some random verbal mentions of 6'10" for Kane, and even Michael Cole broke kayfabe last year by saying Undertaker's a bit taller. I really think the 6'10 1/2" bill for Taker is only about 2-2.25" over what he was when he got there, which is pretty standard for guys like Hogan, One Man Gang, Savage, maybe even Bossman, around the early 90s.

I went over a lot of bills recently and it seems that a number of guys in the 6' to 6'3" range don't get the typical 2" extra. They range anywhere from being short changed, to 1.5" over for a fairly large percentage of high profile wrestlers, but other than that just a lot of round ups and nothing more.

If Kane's 6'9 then Big Show is 7'1, Khali is 7'2 and Undertaker is around 6'8. It doesn't add up. I dont think Kane is as low as just 6'7 though. Again he didn't look anything more than 3 inches taller than 6'4 3/4-6'5 Ben Roethlisberger.

We couldn't see footwear to be fair though in that picture. Kane could've been barefoot for all we know since he was just chilling backstage. Plus, like I said before, Kane doesn't fully flex his knees much anymore which obviously costs him height.

I agree with Sid & Clay that Kane is an easy 6'8". Max Starks is legit 6'7" & Big Daddy V was the same height as him. Kane had 1"+ on BDV, so anything under 6'8"-6'8.5" with good posture just doesn't add up IMO.

hs2009 He could 6'9 in shoes, shoes always gives out depends on soles and heel, I'd give him 6'8 maybe once was 6'8'5 I never thought he was 7ft he looked always 6'8, 6'9 in shoes, even when he first appeared as kane 6'9 tops in his mega boots. Kids always think wrestling real vegas..what do you expect, I been watching wrestling since the 70's to know it's not real, they do get hurt and brusied up and ego brag there heights like every wrestling promotion does. 6'8 on the dot for kane.. kane doesnt stand straight anymore, he hunches now taller you are you hunch more..

Nice find Sid. I'm loving the picture of Doomsday! That's Dutch Mantel btw, not some Dutch guy lol.

I can believe close to 6'9" for Kane, he's a legit 6'8"-6'8.5" IMO. He certainly looks that next to Eric & Mamun.

I really think 6'7.5" is short-changing him. He may give out a 6'7" impression sometimes, but he rarely fully extends his knees anymore because they're so banged up, which obviously makes him shorter. When he fully stands up straight, he's got to be 6'8"+ IMO.

Alex says on 14/Oct/09
Funny how some people still believe Kane is 7'0. If its a young kid then its understandable then. I thought Kane was 6'11 for years. It was like 4-5 years ago when I thought he was more like 6'8.

James S You kidding me, Kane 6'8 to 6'8'5 he said himself

James S says on 13/Oct/09
I'm more willing to bet that Kane is very close to 7'0 cause undertaker is 6'10 flat, and Kane was almost the same height, just a bit taller.

Looking at the pics, he looks like he has WELL over a foot on Mamun, so I would say he should be upgraded to be closer to 7'0. Maybe not quite 7'0, but indeed close.

Judging by this pic of Mamun and Sid, Click Here Mamun's head is probably no more than 8.5", and then compared to Kane, Kane's would be not much more than 10.

Probably up to 10.25" for Kane, Undertaker's head is nearly if not 11", Khali about 11.5" (maybe more cause of that jaw), and Big Show's - a foot.

Candyman says on 11/Oct/09
He seems to have a loose posture in both pictures. I have seen the Undertaker in person and he also seems to be about 6'10 but would lean in pictures with shorter people.

Clay, that's not what his picture with the door height maker suggests. He's under 5'8" at whatever time of day that was. I'm 5'8.5" when I wake up and sometimes down to 5'7.75" when I go to sleep, so I just claim 5'8".

Clay says on 11/Oct/09
Mamun is 5'8.25.

Shock says on 8/Oct/09
Nick, I think Mamun is 5'7.75" - 5'8", and is standing with fantastic posture. Kane is probably 6'7.5" on the dot. There was a picture posted on here of Mamun barefoot in a convenience store next to a door height marker, and he comes out just s shade under 5'8", in this pic Kane is approximately 11.5" taller.

Nick that dude is 5'11, kane looks 6'8, maybe 6'9 in shoes..no more then that.

Kane looks 6'9 i say this because in the picture above you see that one guy who is 5'8 and kane clearly looks a foot taller than him

"try to picture a subway sandwhich on the guys head and there you go"

Shock says on 7/Oct/09
It's 100% impossible as far as I'm concerned for Sid to be 6'6" even at any part of the day. I know an unusual number of 6'5" - 6'6" people and when I met Sid in 1998 he came off noticeably taller than a 6'6" person. It wasn't just a meet and greet, I worked a show he was on and spent time with him in a locker room. I also have a 6'6.5" friend and he doesn't seem quite as tall to me as Sid did.

Sid's wrestling boots seem to vary from .6" to 1.2", I also question if he had internal lifts later on in his career because the backs of his heels come out suspiciously higher than they did in the early 90s.

I originally pegged Sid for 6'8" when I met him but I realized that I was in Asics wrestling shoes (.25") and he was in sneakers (1.5" approx). I'd be really hard pressed to agree for Sid being anything much below 6'7" as of the late 90s.

Derek says on 7/Oct/09
The only thing that could justify Sid being 6'6" is if he wore big boots, as well as lifts. He had a good 2 inches on Hogan in 1992. He was eye to eye with the Undertaker in 1997, and he towered over minimum 6'2" Vader.

Vegas says on 5/Oct/09
sid was changed from 6'6 flat to 6'6.5, one of the reasons (i suspect) sid was at 6'6 flat was because mamun said that sid was shorter than his 6'6 cousin when he came on here first and posted the photo, for 2 or 3 weeks me and a few others disagreed

Shock says on 5/Oct/09
Rob seems pretty convinced of heights for some specific wrestlers. I don't know what it takes to get a height changed exactly but even with some pretty hefty evidence they remain the same.

Clay says on 3/Oct/09
How Rob still has Sid at 6'6.5 is beyond me.

Click Here - boot advantage: Kane, up to 3 layers, or nearly 1" (.9" for the anal ones). Final difference, approximately .75"

In his boots, Kane is essentially coming out 6'9" even.

Shock says on 3/Sep/09
Yes Vegas, those boots do look very similar, BDVs are definitely 2" minimum.

I met Nunzio for the first time last month, definitely right about 5'6.5". I'm 5'8" midday and he came out a bit shorter than me in sneakers, I was in Tims.

I see Balls faily often on shows, I put him at 5'11.5", definitely over 300 currently. He's a lot bigger than me and I'm currently close to 250, which is very heavy for me.

Also, Tom Brandi has a lot of photos up on his facebook with other workers. Good comparisons, he accepts all friend requests if you want to take a look through them. I put Brandi at least 6'2", maybe .25", I've seen him once every couple months for the last few years basically, and on and off the last 12 years.

I really think Kane not over 6'7.5", at least in recent years. I thought he might have been 6'8" or even taller, but it doesn't seem likely anymore.

"Eric says on 23/Aug/09
I almost started to question whats inside undertakers wrestling boot."

I know you did say almost, but it's obvious there's absolutely nothing extra in Taker's boots. He has a very obviously visible heel. Click Here

It really comes down to not being able to trust photos referenced across different people. When you compare them face to face, yes you have to compensate, but it's better than guessing via cross reference.

"sid says on 29/Aug/09
Red Big daddy was wearing lifts on his boots to make him appear taller probably"

Kane's current boots are very much identical to BDV's in terms of lift while he was still with WWE. There's less than 1" between them barefoot. In 2008, BDV comes out better on Kane in even footwear, than he does on Taker in 1995 with a 2 layer boot advantage. Currently in independents, BDV wears boots that are possibly same size or even larger than Kane's original super lifts:

Click Here - I must stress these are NOT the same boots he wore in the WWE. I don't want to see anyone comparing these babies to Kane's and say BDV has footwear advantage.

On a side note, Giant Silva's are very similar to those monsters as well, just fraction smaller.

Click Here for a little magic and fun.

In the still photo, they are at identical posture, same distance from the camera. The angle may be upward, but percentages are percentages and ratios are ratios. Even if you want to dock here, add there, suspect where, there's no way to make Kane come out taller barefoot. It cannot be refuted that Kane has at least a 1.5" boot advantage, and he's not more than 1" taller with that advantage. The minimum difference as of 1998 is .5", the most is about .75" which coincides with what has been seen in future instances.

There isn't a single viable example of Kane coming out taller than Taker where you can't write it off to footwear or posture, that much is obvious, and it seems like any time Taker does come out taller at later times, the same issue is claimed. But really, with those two staredowns above, after you deduct boots, Taker does come out taller. They are right there face to face.

UT can't be taller than Kane. At most they're the same height and I doubt that. Kane appears taller in almost all evidence even if its only by 1/2 inch or so. Kane I can still see at 6'8, he looks it with Mamun. UT I wouldn't put over 6'7.

THe pics were displayed on this site many times before. The guy has pics with everyone. He sas pics with SId Eudy , Kane , Underaker the list goes on. I remember saying to myself how come undertaker looks way shorter in street clothes. I almost started to question whats inside undertakers wrestling boot.

If he said to you that he's a little over 6'8", which I've read numerous other people say he did as well, then I see no reason to doubt him. He could easily claim 6'9"-6'10" in person, even 7'0" if he wanted to & most people would believe him. Kane doesn't seem the sort of guy to worry about inflating his height either.

I really think Kane (& Undertaker for that matter) should be upgraded slightly.

Eric says on 23/Aug/09
Kane is slouched in the pic with me. WHen he first stood up he was standing straight and i remember saying wowwww hes tall. I asked him he told me just a little over 6ft8. Why doesnt anyone pull up pics of undertaker in street clothes. Like i said there is a perfect comparison with them standing next too a 6ft4 guy with glasses. THe pics were displayed on this site many times before. The guy has pics with everyone. He sas pics with SId Eudy , Kane , Underaker the list goes on. I remember saying to myself how come undertaker looks way shorter in street clothes. I almost started to question whats inside undertakers wrestling boot.

If Kane stood up straight & fully flexed his knees, which he rarely does anymore, with Knox he'd be 3.5" taller. So with a slight boot advantage he's still 3" taller.

I don't see Kane under 6'8" I'm afraid.

Shock says on 20/Aug/09
Also, hs2009, I agree, Kane is 3" taller than Mike Knox, but only with a boot advantage, so really he's roughly 2.5" taller.

Click Here

Undertaker is 3"+ taller than JBL with less boot advantage, and JBL is as tall or slightly taller than Mike Knox. Regardless, no matter how you want to scrutinize their boots, Kane's not a full 3" taller than Knox and Undertaker is 3" or more taller than JBL. Both guys are virtually 6'5".

JT, one thing is for certain, Kane is no taller than 6'7.5". The straight up and down lines are weird, they seem to get more straight up and down the more to the right you go, and become very unstraight if you straighten the horizontal lines, that's why I didn't bother. I think vertical lines are more important to correct if they are available due to angles changing how far away the front and back of a horizontal line are.

Shock says on 20/Aug/09
The real answer is, Undertaker's tall than Kane.

What is wrong with this picture to you, other than Undertaker coming out taller than Kane? I mean, this is even with Kane at a slight boot advantage."

Now how can you possibly say this picture offers a better chin to eye level comparison than the one I provided of the two literally face to face?

Haven't we been over their respective postures in your "smoking gun" pic? You've got a pic in which Taker's back, hips, and legs are straight as an arrow and Kane's aren't. Kane is visibly loosing height to posture here. Why is it that you are the only one that doesn't see this?

JT says on 20/Aug/09
Shock, before you do any photo analysis, you need to straighten out the pic of Kane and Mamun, which tilts several degrees in Kane's favor. Look at the door behind them.

hs2009 says on 20/Aug/09
Kane's knees are wrecked don't forget, so he rarely stands up straight. When he does he's legit 6'8"-6'8.5" IMO. He was 3" taller than legit 6'5" Mike Knox on RAW earlier this year when he stood up straight. Check out photo 36:
Click Here

Anything in the 6'7" range is short changing him IMO.

Shock says on 20/Aug/09
I would dare say Mamun is just slightly under 5'8", but we'll go with 5'8" and run some numbers. I left an image blank if others want to toy with it. I used the same height for Kane in both pics.

Click Here

The max results are:

Kane: 6'7 7/8"
Mamun: 5'8.25"

Minimum:

Kane: 6'7.25"
Mamun: 5'7 7/8"



I can't see more than 3.5" between the top of Mamun's head and the middle of Kane's mouth, which would max that benchmark at 5'11.5" for mid mouth. If Mamun is at all under 5'8", I would say at my best estimate, 5'11.25" hits right at the bottom of his mouth.

I think 10.25" is the max head height for Kane, and that would put Mamun right about 8.5" I think but it's hard to tell because his head is tilted up.

Really after it's all said and done, it looks like 6'7.5" for Kane and 5'7 7/8" for Mamun, and I know you all love those tiny fractions, but hey Rob points out footwear to the 10ths.

Da Man, I don't know why you use such unreliable pics for comparisons. The MVP double chokeslam is the smoking gun.

Click Here

What is wrong with this picture to you, other than Undertaker coming out taller than Kane? I mean, this is even with Kane at a slight boot advantage.

The only thing I see wrong with it is Undertaker standing straight up, without his head down, thus reclaiming his generally squandered height. Is it so hard to believe? It's similar to his staredown with JBL where he is looking at the IC belt, totally dwarfing the guaranteed 6'5" minimum JBL by nearly a forehead, with a roughly .5" boot advantage.

Click Here

He's at least 3" taller than him after boot deductions, granting him that precious 6'8"+ legit status, so there's no way Kane is a mid 6'8". Taker's also more taller than JBL, than Kane is taller than Goldust, with similar boot advantages.

It's very hard to turn a blind eye to this stuff. Up until this year I thought there was only .25" between Taker and Kane, and thought Kane was 6'8". There's definitely almost 1" difference.

Shock says on 19/Aug/09
lol WOW. Kane's head (maybe not his whole body) being considerably close to the camera there maybe it appears that way. 5'8" (maybe) Mamun is certainly 3.5" below Kane's mouth! Do the math.

Da Man says on 18/Aug/09
Shock says, "In the head size comparison, Taker's head is rotated so his head is more straight up and down, similarly to Kane's, and I included the underside of Kane's chin where the mask strap comes around to further illustrate the total difference in case it can't be agreed upon where their actual chins end. It's clear to see Taker has about .5" more above the eyes, and .5" more below."

Taker clearly does not have a 1/2" advantage below the eyes, Shock. Click Here

"5'11.25" comes up to Kane's mouth. If was a full head taller than Eric here, he'd be just about 6'9.25"

What do we know about this picture? IIRC, Eric said Kane was in normal dress shoes, Kane visibly slouched for the picture (and that Eric did see him stand tall when he stood up initially), and that even though Kane looks to be closer in the pic he really wasn't, or at least not to the degree it appears. Correct me if I am wrong, Eric.

5'11.25" Eric doesn't reach a slouching Kane's mouth: Click Here
And 5'8" Mamun is well short of Kane's chin.

The first picture here, "5'11.25 Eric" with Kane, Kane has a full head on him and it doesn't appear he's wearing lifts. Honestly, I would give him more than 6'7.5".

eric says on 12/Aug/09
Just wanted to let you know that a good pic to use is the pic thats floating around the internet that has been used on this site before many times. The guy is about 6ft4 and has pics with all the wrestlers. Edge, Sid, Taker and kane. Many many more as well. If you look at the pic with the guy and taker and then the guy and kane you can clearly see in street clothes kane is taller with the guy then taker is. Undertaker isnt slouched in the pic either. Can someone find these pics and post them??

Shock says on 11/Aug/09
I saw that interview as well. Very impressive curls. He was obviously preserving kayfabe with the almost 7 foot bill.

sid says on 11/Aug/09
Gazzareth of Nazzareth what do you expect it was a shoot..he was semi in character..he didnt lie. it's called acting. in character..I can see kane curl 150 dumbell curls.. big man with natural strength...I know a guy who curls 120..we worked out for along time..to acheive that strength..

Gazzareth of Nazzareth says on 10/Aug/09
kane was on sky sports in the UK the other day, pretty good interview although he lies about his stats-height wise anyway-he said 'I am about 7 feet tall and weight over 300 pounds'
Apparently he does bicep curls with 150 pound weights

Shock says on 10/Aug/09
Rob, I did say that I made a few posts as Electric Shock in 2007 that I did not remember using that name for, and I never said I wasn't Shock of Electric and there was never any issue, or at least never should have been because I did in fact make a post specifically saying that I would no long post as that name because it was too confusing.

Thank you for clarifying that Electric Shock/Electric is not me, at least, that's what I think "well yes from a different isp." means.

Shock says on 9/Aug/09
All you have to do is look at them in the ring together, without the need to cross reference. I assume you are referring to pics with say, JJ Dillon, and there are definitely issues with the pics on his site which I will get into. I made an image showing the height difference between Kane and Taker from the late 90s in a quality staredown, compared with their boots, and it's completely obvious there's more boot difference than height difference.

I also included pics of Taker and Shawn with JJ Dillon, and then also Taker actually compared to Shawn in the same frames as one another. It's obvious Taker is missing around 2" in the pic with JJ since he's clearly more taller next to Shawn than he appears in the pics on a side by side. Either Taker was leaning in that much for the pic with JJ, or JJ is standing on a phonebook...

Click Here

Based on agreeing comparisons with virtually all other wrestlers on his site, I put JJ at roughly 5'11" even. Neither Taker, nor Kane, achieves even 6'7" based on that, Big Show also comes up short by about 2" at roughly 6'9" maybe .25" and we clearly know he is at least in the 6'11" range. If you compare Shawn's pic to Big Show's, he is easily 2" closer to him in height than he is in the ring, similarly to Taker. Insteads of coming up to his chin, Shawn comes up to his labret. Even JJ himself is slightly within Big Show's head range, which should not be based on his maximum possible height.

If we raised JJ to 6'0.5" to compensate a bit for the tall guys, essentially everyone else comes out their billed heights, so something is clearly wrong or unreliable about the pics on his site when it comes to the taller wrestlers. Austin also comes out shockingly tall compared to JJ. Why are all the tallest ones coming out short? Probably to fit into the pics better.

In the head size comparison, Taker's head is rotated so his head is more straight up and down, similarly to Kane's, and I included the underside of Kane's chin where the mask strap comes around to further illustrate the total difference in case it can't be agreed upon where their actual chins end. It's clear to see Taker has about .5" more above the eyes, and .5" more below. The max I can give Kane is still under 1" taller when in his big ol' boots. In the end, it just doesn't cut it. He's not taller, and never was.

LoL @ favortism, it's just evidence that you want to dismiss as bias because it proves you wrong. Kane's not more than an inch taller in his big boots, let alone 1.5". You do bully posters with unfounded information, and my reference to that behavior wasn't my first ever post in this thread.

You want to think that Electric and I are the same person so it may help support your empty position in some way. Regardless of how many names anyone on this site wants to post on, the facts are clear and obvious.

You will not admit to being proven wrong, and Rob apparently doesn't either because he has not responded to any posts I've made or the email I sent him asking him to verify the IP of posts from Electric Shock/Electric since again, MAY of this year when he started posting on the site, not 2007. Rob won't do it, or has done it and won't admit he didn't take the necessary steps to begin with. He checked 2 year old posts instead of posts from the day when it was first questioned! He should know when running a site that allows anonymous posters that he needs to be more thorough than "What, I checked the first 3 posts from 2 years ago."

You lost respect for someone over an error on Rob's part, and that to me is slander on an internet level. I know that sounds overboard but it's true.

Rob said "Yes, treat them as the same person." and that's an untrue statement that harms my reputation on the site.

To further explain why it is, you base a lot of how you feel about my posts on the fact that you THINK I post under two names, pretending to be two different people and this because of an error made by the site admin, which is completely ridiculous. You've made tons of comments relating to this issue in attempt to further that mentality amongst other posters.

And btw, Kane can't be 6'8" even, that's simply too tall. I use to think he was too.

This is the absolute tallest Kane has ever come out in a staredown with Taker Click Here

However, clearly the camera advantage is in Kane's favor. We'll say for the sake of argument that it's a fair and just comparison, Kane's still coming out less than 1.5" taller. Removing boots would suggest they are the exact same height.

After we acknowledge that it favors Kane, he comes out shorter. You cannot deny the difference in boots. It's impossible to consider it any less than 1.4" and it is likely a bit more.

I have been proven wrong on this site before, but not by you Shock/Shock of Electric/Electric Shock/Electric/Electric Lobotomy. I "bash" you because your posting style and apparent arrogance rub me the wrong way. Your first post on this page was "bashing" me out of the blue, accusing me of being a "bully" and violating the rules of celebheights. In reality, you didn't like my opinions because they didn't favor Taker. The truth is, I have long standing yet civil disagreements with numerous people on this site. There are people on this site that I disagree with but I still respect, such as Patrick, Yaspaa, Vegas, and several others.

I don't like you as a poster, and over time I have also lost any semblance of respect for you as a poster with your ridiculous evidence that displays blatant favoritism and your penchant for duplicate handles. You aren't honest in any respect, and your "thoroughness" is a sham.

Kane - 6'8"
Taker - 6'7.75"

"Kane would have to come out over 1.5" taller than Taker in order to actually BE taller, and he never has"

Actually, yes he has, and that evidence has been posted on this site at least twice in the last two weeks. More mental gymnastics from our resident loon.

They're the exact same height in that video. Pause at 15 seconds in. Actually they are the same throughout the entire video. I used to think kane was 6'7.5". But, I guess he can't be unless Goldust is.

shock all you have to do is look at the pics with them in street clothes standing with the same exact people. Kane is clearly taller.

Shock very easy. Undertaker has better posture in that pic. DO you actually believe kane is standing straight up???? The pic clarifies that he clearly isnt. Honesty i think thats the worst evidence you can use.

Shock thinks he knows it all.. when he never met kane and taker in person which I have seen in person..I admit kane shrunk as well as taker..kane looked 5 on taker that was before 2001...he looks the same now shrunk. taker lost height they look same accountable height 5 between them even when there at there peak..6'8'5 peak kane.. now 6'8 taker 6'7'5

Shock says on 6/Aug/09
Yankem's not taller, there's no actual evidence of that, just poor perception, posture issues and bad angles. If Taker was standing at the same posture as Yankem, they would be eye to eye, and the rest of his head would be the only thing that makes him taller. I don't think it's out of the question that Glen's lost some height, but when you look at all the issues, it's more likely he was just always that much shorter.

With Sid, the only time he comes out eye to eye with Taker is when he tilts his head back. Sid is 1" or more shorter than Taker, definitely more as of the late 90s, but 1" in the early 90s was possible. The only time he looked less than 1" is in the extreme close up where Sid is tip toeing, and you can see when he settles back in the very same frame, he drops down to 1" or more shorter. If Taker had the same size head as Sid, he'd be barely taller if not at all. Same with Kane.

Gazzareth of Nazzareth says on 6/Aug/09
'Shock'- Yankem just taller than taker-explain, with taker having a distinct camera advantage, both in flat boots, i still reckons glen has shrunk a tad these days

Shock says on 6/Aug/09
Da Man, all you do is persistently bash posts that prove you wrong, that's what you've done ever since I realized you existed on this site, and everything you say about me could just as easily be said about you. You repeatedly ignore everything that proves you wrong, and provide nothing close to smoking gun evidence, bad angles, etc, and accuse everything else of being just that. Keep trollin' trollin' trollin' trollin'. Yeah, that felt good, ya know? Marking out like that.

In terms of head heights, a slight edge is 8ths or even 16ths of an inch. Undertaker's head is a good 2cm longer than Kane's or MORE which is, nearly, if not an inch.

The only thing you need to look at is the Kane and Taker double chokeslam on MVP. You still have not come up with a way to refute that, and that's because you can't. During the entire sequence Kane is consistently shorter than Taker, even when you adjust the ropes, and before accounting for his 1 layer boot advantage.

Click Here

It's pretty indisputable and this is the clearest evidence there has ever been for a fair height comparison. I mean, you can keep rotating heads all day, maybe upside down works better, but it's clear that Taker's head is on the cusp of 11" since Kane's must be at least 10" compared to the inconsequential, impeccable postured Mamun.

The reason why Mamun is inconsequential is because in the end we're not comparing normal sized heads, he's only used to reference approximation because it's available. It has nothing to do with my "ego." If Mamun's head was more than 8" tall we'd be dealing with closer to Big Show/Andre the Giant size head range, which we aren't. If Kane's head is any more than 10", Undertaker jumps over 11".

No one has ever provided viable evidence that Kane is taller than Undertaker, because he isn't, and since he isn't, it can't be done. Any time Glen has ever appeared taller has been when he had significant, widely acknowledged, footwear advantage, because yes, their height is relatively close and a simple pair of boots can make the difference one way or the other. It's not like people weren't talking about it 12 years ago.

However, when you approach 6'8", 3/4 of an inch is not as close or common a difference in height as when you are say, under 6 foot.

You've insisted that Taker's boots back in the Gothic era were thicker than suggested, or that Kane's aren't as thick as they obviously are, or the pivot point gremlins take away more height from Kane, or Undertaker is bending light, or some other kind of chicanery, all leading up to there not being over 1" difference in boot advantage for Kane.

Kane would have to come out over 1.5" taller than Taker in order to actually BE taller, and he never has:

Now, sidestep the evidence and hit me with an insult for being thorough to make yourself feel better, I'm begging you. Please do it, because otherwise, you're beat.

LOL@"meaningless contradictions", that's your standard out. If pointing out your substandard deductive skills, your inability to understand basic posture and it's impact on height, your inability to understand footwear's impact on height, your inability to objectively analyze any evidence that regards the Undertaker, then I agree completely. :)

I see you have finally dusted off your "Electric" persona to provide yourself with some much needed emotional support. Funny, yet pathetic.

Yes, the camera CLEARLY favors Taker here: Click Here
The line of sight is over Taker's shoulder, clearly placing him closer to the camera. If you had a "half of a brain", you would realize this; however, it has become apparent to most that you do not.

"You" cut Mamum slack. Mamun is inconsequential. Damn you have an ego, I guess the oversized ego is just compensating for the lack of intellectual capacity. :D

You make me laugh, Shock, really you do. Just when I think you are the biggest joke I have ever seen you go and up the ante. I never said Taker doesn't have a longer head, the truth is their head size is pretty close with a SLIGHT edge to Taker, it's just that Taker carries more height towards the front of his head while Kane carries it towards the back. I simply laughed at your assertion that it is 1" longer, since it's obvious that is not the case.

Look at your head size comparison, perhaps if you weren't so ridiculously Taker biased and so set on "proving" yourself right at any and all costs, you could have seen your head comparison was WAY off!

Click Here

Kane and Taker's chin to eye level distance is nearly identical, yet Kane's chin to eye level comes out nearly 1/2" short in your comparison despite the fact that KANE HAS HIS MOUTH OPEN.

"But in the ring, standing next to eachother, where Kane has a footwear advantage, Kane's a half inch shorter right?"

LOL. Only in Shock's fantasy world.

Ray says on 5/Aug/09
Undertaker does have a large head. To me, it def looks larger/longer than Kane's. Aside from that, the Undertaker has a high back tip at the top of his head (it really can be seen in a couple of Sid staredowns). Sid and Taker were around the same eye level but Undertaker comes out taller because of this. Same with Kane IMO.

Shock says on 5/Aug/09
LoL@"Wrong again" that's your standard out.

Da Man, you continue to post absolutely meaningless contradictions. I would like to meet someone who uses half their brain because maybe they see pictures in a different dimension where Kane actually is taller than Taker. I don't think you understand anything.

In your world, you think this picture Click Here is favoring Taker somehow but really, Taker's leaning forward slightly, as you can see in the far away shot. Click Here You can't even see the tops of their heads but you can see more of Yankem's total head than Taker's.

If Taker was standing at the same posture as Yankem, he'd easily be eye to eye and the rest is skull height, which is the only thing that makes him taller. The only thing maybe Yankem seem taller are illusion, omissions and delusions.

You deny that Taker's skull is taller than Yankem's, but here we can clearly see:

Click Here

I tried to cut Mamun some slack, he's really inconsequential but it's just to give a rough head height estimate on Kane, but since he's got his head tilted up slightly I put his head range starting as is 5 o'clock shadow. Kane's head comes out just slightly over 10" which is totally believable.

Vegas - Mamun's head is pretty tiny and I believe in the photo he has on here where he's using the store height markings on the door, you can see he has an 8" tall head.

It's very obvious that Kane and Taker are currently chin to chin and the only reason Kane's is higher in the pic with MVP is because he's got his chin up slightly more, which I adjusted both of them to be more straight up and down, and it's obvious, Taker's got a larger skull. There's no ifs ands or buts about it. If he was standing on the other side of Mamun at the same posture and footwear as Kane, he'd be level at the chin, and come out taller in the end. If you want to say Kane's head is more than 10" tall, then you have to also say Taker's is over 11.

eric says on 4/Aug/09
"I still have to say kane is a little taller. If you look at pics of them in street clothes next to the same people kane looks taller clearly."

But in the ring, standing next to eachother, where Kane has a footwear advantage, Kane's a half inch shorter right?

Shock/Shock of Electric/Electric Shock/Shockle Doodle Doo says "In your arbitrarily rotated Goldust Kane pic, Kane comes out 2.25" taller than Goldust, and I verified that he has a .5" boot advantage during the time."

Actually, there's nothing arbitrary about that rotation at all, the cinder block pillar behind them has to be plumb/vertical for the frame to work and it wasn't in the original shot; now it is.

Now how did you arrive at your ultra precise estimate of 2.25" from that pic?

Click Here

Now I don't know about you, but my head is 9.25" long and the distance from the center of my eye to the center of my mouth is pretty much bang on 3". I'm willing to bet GD's head is longer than 9.25".

"No, he does not."

Wrong again

"Do you really think it favors Taker or do you simply want it to? In case you didn't notice, Taker's head, and even upper torso is leaning forward slightly and Yankem's posture is straight up, Taker's legs are wider apart. Breaks that gap down nicely.

I understand posture, I understand basic anatomy,I understand how the pivot point of the foot increases height. You do not.

"Here is your Undertaker Kane pic revised: Click Here"

Anyone with half of a brain can see Kane's head is undersized to a ridiculous degree here. This is your interpretation, and like most of your interpretations, it is a complete joke. Kane's mask actually hugs his forehead tightly, as can be seen when he donned it while bald.

"id I perform magic there or something? Nope. Doesn't this look a little more centered to you?"

"The dark line represents where Kane would be without the small boot advantage he still has today."

You don't understand how footwear impact height, how are you going to pretend you can estimate how footwear impacts either one of their heights? You really are the biggest joke on this site.

Mamun how big is your head?? i would say shock is selling you short at 8 inches, that seems very small for a 5'8 male

Gazzareth of Nazzareth says on 4/Aug/09
surely its obvious to see that in the close up of the yankem/taker staredown, the camera favours taker there, blatantly closer to the camera
glen for 0.75' taller than taker-at least back then, part of me thinks he has shrunk a tad over the years (kane this is) even though its hard to tell because of the switching of boot sizes. I cant get over how huge (mass wise) kane was in that photo 'istssosimple' posted below in comparison to that video with goldust or even today

JRod says on 4/Aug/09
After seeing Kane live and front row- I definatly don't buy 7ft- but I would put him at around 6'8- 6'9

"-Actually, he does."

No, he does not.

"despite the fact that angle still favors Taker slightly there?"

Do you really think it favors Taker or do you simply want it to? In case you didn't notice, Taker's head, and even upper torso is leaning forward slightly and Yankem's posture is straight up, Taker's legs are wider apart. Breaks that gap down nicely. If you can't tell from the close up, surely you can tell from the wide shot.

Here is your Undertaker Kane pic revised: Click Here

Definitely an extra half inch above and below the center of the eyes. 11" head vs 10" head, 2/3" height advantage with roughly 1.25-1.5" boot advantage that you can't deny even though you try to. Shockingly Kane's eyes are 1.3" higher with that significant boot advantage. So don't "LOL" when you should be saying "Ah, never noticed that." You cannot be that impaired. The truth is, they are essentially eye to eye, and Taker's head is taller above and below the eyes, therefor he IS taller.

And your awful angled RR2007 pic countered with: Click Here

Did I perform magic there or something? Nope. Doesn't this look a little more centered to you? This is just another frame from the clip. Shocking? Yeah. To you maybe. Not to me. Really the whole segment is entirely unusable due to constantly changing angles and I don't qualify the pic I posted as real evidence of anything, just that as easily as Kane looks taller, he doesn't, in the same clip.

And this hugely ignored piece of obvious evidence...yawn...

Click Here

The dark line represents where Kane would be without the small boot advantage he still has today. The picture is also rope adjusted because it originally favored Taker. Kane's head is in such a position that he does not get the full length of it, compare Kane's head to Mamun's, 10 vs 8.

In your arbitrarily rotated Goldust Kane pic, Kane comes out 2.25" taller than Goldust, and I verified that he has a .5" boot advantage during the time. I think YOU are the one who is terrible at this height thing. I do believe there are issues with the camera itself, because Kane is clearly more than 2" taller than Goldust in all viable examples, but not as much as 3".

sid, Undertaker has stated he's 6'8" or 6'9" and no one takes his word for it, why would anyone take Kane's?

Bring on some more insults folks. I got all the time in the world, ya know, after I come home from work and go on the computer and exclusively check out celebheights all night. Go nuts. See how much heat you can take away from being wrong. The only thing that makes Taker taller than Kane is his skull, but he IS taller.

Shock Eric asked kane whats his real height he replied 6'8'5 why would kane lie..both taker and kane shrunk kane was 6'8'5 now 6'8 taker 6'7'5. before when i saw nash, kane, taker coming out of the car grabbing there belonging one was taller then the other, nash, had about a inch on kane, kane had 5 on taker at that time kane would have been 6'8'5 taker 6'8 or kane could of been 6'8 as well as taker, i doubt that. to me kane looks like a 6'8 man..no tape to measure..your just assuming to.. you never met the man..and you dont have a measuring tape.

-Actually, he does.

"and in the close up they are virtually eye to eye"

-Virtually eye to eye? Is that Shock-speak for NOT eye to eye? Not eye to eye despite the fact that angle still favors Taker slightly there? Click Here

"Glen's eyes are maybe 1/4" higher and Taker has a bigger forehead. Assuming even footwear, I don't think Taker was much more than 1/4" taller than Glen at the time, but today it's definitely more like 3/4"."

-I think by now we can all expect you twist Taker evidence in ridiculous fashion in order to get your desired outcome. Where did Taker's forehead height go here: Click Here and here: Click Here
Funny how Taker's forehead height diminishes in dramatic fashion when he pulls he hair back tightly. The man has a high hairline, but his isn't at the amazingly low level that some would have us believe.

"However, I do also believe Yankem has a one layer boot advantage (.25-.3") and Taker has a slightly wider stance."

-Well of course you do. Once again, manipulating the evidence to achieve your desired result. Taker has a slightly wider stance, yet is on a higher plane in the far shot and has the perspective advantage in the "face-off". Of course Yankem has to have larger footwear for you, because even though the videos don't support it Taker manages to come up short in both frames.

"Taker's head is taller than Kane's by nearly 1" if not a full inch."

-LOL!

"When you factor all that in, it does come out to be more like 2cm in the end."

-Apparently your delusions really do extend beyond your celebheight personas.

I think it's clear Kane's peak height is 6'8.0045768482278594934" in contrast to Taker's peak height of 6'7.7353845564347575838939282". :)

Rantsrob says on 3/Aug/09
Shock your nothing more then a stuborn dickhead with way to much time on your hands. If i wanted to i would gather all the information i have found to PROVE kane is taller. But i actually have something to do with my life so i'll let you have your fun for now.

Shock says on 3/Aug/09
sid, first off, I gotta say it is very difficult to understand your posts, I'm just bringing that up front because I don't want to confuse anything you say.

I never said Taker was 6'9", I said he's between 6'8" and 6'8.5". It's just really interesting how so many people can buy Kane at 6'8" but not Taker. I mean, are that many people fooled by the footwear issue between Kane and Taker back in the day? I knew since 1995 that he was shorter, and as Kane I knew before he arrived that they intended on making him seem bigger than Taker, and I was just a teenager.

Nash's max height I could see being 6'10", possibly 6'9.75". I use to think he was slightly taller than that, but lately I'm thinking not.

But again, Kane definitely only comes out about 2" inches taller than Goldust at any given time in that video. He is roughly 2.5" taller than him at most regardless. Their footwear could have been very similar in the segment because I know Kane had thinner boots during that point in time, but I don't know what Goldust had.

So sid, how tall do you think Kane is legit? Based on your theory of Taker being .5" -1" shorter, 6'7.5" would be impossible for Kane because 6'6.5" - 6'7" even for Taker is absolutely impossible. 6'8" even for Kane is impossible to the point of ludicrous, and this is mostly due to comparisons with Mamun and Big Ben showing Kane is definitely under 6'8" currently.

There's absolutely no acceptable reason to believe Kane is taller than Taker currently. I could see Glen being at most 6'8" even as Yankem if there were no minor issues with their staredown, but I really think he's just always been roughly .5" - .75" shorter. Again, a footwear advantage of 1.25-1.5" in the late 90s as Kane would easily make Kane appear taller than Taker, and he's never, in any viable staredown, come out more than .75" taller with the big lifts vs Taker's very flat late 90s footwear.

The only heights that work for them with other comparisons are 6'7.5" for Kane (compensate for footwear whenever necessary) and 6'8.25"ish for Taker. Virtually any time there is a discrepency, there are obvious issues.

Shock says on 2/Aug/09
Sid, in the video you posted, Kane is defintely not 3" taller than Goldust. Taker on the other hand, is/was at least 3" taller than Goldust 13 years ago.

Click Here

I know it's an uneven plane but also check out Taker's shoulder width leg part and classic head tilt. If Taker was only 6'7" compared to Kane's 6'7.5" there'd be no way for him to show up that much taller in this situation, than the easily 6'5" Goldust. I know some people on here think he's only 6'4.5" but the guy was slightly taller 6'5" Barry Windham. Kane barely looks 6'7" compared to him in 2001 using a base 6'5" for Goldust.

Undertaker was always thoroughly billed 6'10.5" and Yankem was verbally billed 6'10" by the King and Vince. JR reffered to him as 6'8" or 9 once that I can remember.

In order for Yankem to have been *taller* than Taker, his eyes would have to be .75 - 1" higher, but they aren't. In the far shot, the top of Taker's head is perfectly in line with Yankem's, and Taker's not even standing up as straight as Yankem who has Mamun level posture.

This is all that matters currently Click Here

He's .5" taller at a boot disadvantage. Same plane, same distance from the camera, Taker isn't tilting his head down creating the illusion that his eyes are lower. Quite clearly, today, or 2007, or whatever year after their footwear evened out dramatically, Taker is 2cm taller barefoot.

Khali: 7'1"
Big Show: 6'11.5"
Undertaker: 6'8.375" (yeah I went there)
Kane: 6'7.5"
Festus Shad Goldust and Mike Knox all in the 6'5" range. I think the next closest to 6'5" is Randy Orton.

Shock says on 1/Aug/09
He really doesn't actually come out taller than him in the staredown. The far shot is unusable but Click Here

and in the close up they are virtually eye to eye

Click Here

Glen's eyes are maybe 1/4" higher and Taker has a bigger forehead. Assuming even footwear, I don't think Taker was much more than 1/4" taller than Glen at the time, but today it's definitely more like 3/4".

However, I do also believe Yankem has a one layer boot advantage (.25-.3") and Taker has a slightly wider stance. It's such a scrutinized staredown but it's obvious Taker is taller because they are essentially chin to chin again with Yankem's less higher up than it needs to be for him to actually be taller. Taker's head is taller than Kane's by nearly 1" if not a full inch. When you factor all that in, it does come out to be more like 2cm in the end.

Ray says,
"I'm also not so sure about Yankem having the same size boots. Undertaker's were very flat. The Yankem/Undertaker match is not a convincer for me by any means."

This evidence has been analyzed ad nauseam, Ray. I have tons of pics of Yankem's footwear in my photobucket account, and the high quality version of this match makes it painfully obvious Yankem's boots were SMALL in that match. Yankem's soles are not one iota thicker than Taker's and there is clearly no internal lift or significant arch support in Yankem's boots. Yankem pretty clearly edges Taker despite being on a lower plane.

Big Show says on 31/Jul/09

Hard to tell in that video since it's a bad angle at the far distance staredown. When they're close up, face to face, you can't see the tops of their heads but they look very close and Undertaker has a high back top of head. Click Here
I'm also not so sure about Yankem having the same size boots. Undertaker's were very flat. The Yankem/Undertaker match is not a convincer for me by any means.

If you pause in that vid a 1:37 you'll see that Yankem's chin is higher, Yankem's mouth is higher, Yankem's nose is higher and Yankem's eyelevel is higher. We can't see a clearly where the top of both heads are, but I would be surprised if Undertaker is taller. His forehead would needs to be friggin' huge if Undertaker is taller.

As for footwear keep this in mind: Undertaker was billed 6'10" and was one of the top stars of the WWF at the time. Isaac Yankem was billed 6'9" and was a jobber whom nobody cared about. Does it make any sense to put bigger boots on him. If I were a wrestling promotor I would make Undertaker look the taller of the two, not Yankem.

Gazzareth of Nazzareth says on 30/Jul/09

I want to see how you can argue it since you seem to ignore it. Kane's still got a footwear advantage. This is a rare instance where Taker isn't cheated by his staredown posture. The difference here is shockingly similar to Royal Rumble 2003, of course after Kane comes out of his wide legged posture and they are about to start walking, and not before.

I think it should be reflected in the height listings. They are not the exact same height barefoot.

Still wishful thinking. The "victim's" thumb is actually overlapping some of Taker's heel.

Shock says on 28/Jul/09
Undertaker's current boots are 1.25", those 97 - 99's are most likely straight up 2 layer wrestling boots which = .6", or 1 layer in the front, 2 in the back. The back of the sole is thinner than the width of the Rock's thumb, which is no more than 1". The front of Kane's sole is thicker than the heel of Taker's boot, and the front of Kane's boot is approximately 1". If you think it's MORE than 1", than the back of Kane's boot starts pushing the 3" mark, in that case he'd have a 2" advantage on Taker in footwear, resulting in Kane being more than 1" shorter when barefoot which is impossible.

Click Here rough attempt at outlining the heel

My uncle owned and operated a gas station. One night when the WCW was in Baltimore, Ric Flair, The Big Boss Man, and Sid Vicious stopped in. He said Sid Vicious was HUGE. He said he'd guess 6'8", but was just an overall Huge man. He said Ric Flair looked to be around 6'1, and the Boss Man around 6'4. As a side note, Ric Flair and Rowdy Roddy Piper would raise A LOT of hell in the local bars when they'd come to town in their younger days.

Good eye on the boot shot in that match Gazzareth of Nazzareth, definitely 2" for Kane vs .5" or so for Taker.

Undertaker: 6'8.25"
Kane: 6'7.5"

Mamun, I live in NJ so I won't be seeing you any time soon.

Sid, Kane's current most common boots are 1.5", which he has been wearing at least since the unmasking and costume change. He had other boots in 2001 and 2003. The 1997/98 ones are approximately 2". Definitely 2 layers thicker front and back, however they seem to be a solid piece heel and not traditional layered wrestling boots, which I've suspected for a while. Definitely a 16 or 17 boot.

Mamun sometimes you don't look quite 5'8.25", you should verify your height somehow. The 5'7.5" guy is probably about .5" shorter than you at most. You may be 5'8.25" when you wake up. I'm 5'8.5" when I wake up but I sale through the day at 5'8" even basically. However I do wear pretty big footwear, 1.5" steel toe Tims + cushioned gel insert because I am on my feet all day at work, and sneakers are dangerous with heavy equipment.

Francis, do you spend a lot of time on your feet during the day or have a heavy frame? Gravity compresses your joints and spine over the course of the day. I typically lose .75" going from 5'8.5" to 5'7.75" and I do a lot of manual labor at work, I'm also about 240+. Two inch total height loss seems like a lot more than normal.

After much debate, various comparisons and figuring out the deceptiveness of his height (aside from his traditionally big footwear), I have come to the conclusion that 6'7.5" is right on the dot for Kane. He's probably 6'8" wake up height and about 6'7" GTS height. He definitely seemed taller back in the day, possibly 6'8" even midday height. However, I still must insist that Taker is .5" - .75" taller today.

I also noticed someone posted a video of Kane picking up Big Show on his shoulder outside the ring. I should point out that youtube account "Denimelectric" belongs to fellow poster "Electric." I should also point out that I edited and sent that video to him so he could post it because he is a big Kane fan and couldn't find the video. :)

Kane was crazy powerful but I think injuries and potential injuries as the result of heavy lifts prevent him from doing this stuff today. His slam on Khali was extremely impressive though.

Why are you impressed with Brook Shields slam? Hogan jumped and she merely guided his momentum, I'm pretty sure a cruiser weight could perform that slam to Big Show. Kane bore Big Show's entire weight, stopped his momentum and then rotated him.

This isn't a matter of favoritism, but simple physics.

Da man.
I'm more impressed with Brooke sheilds slamming hogan then kane slamming Big show..
Ive seen Cena, Lesnar and probably a few others slam big show but ive never seen Angelina Jolie, meg ryan or Julia roberts slam the hulkster..

Da man.
Yeah that was quite impressive but you can clearly see big show jump up and in the 1st one you can see show holding himself up on kane's leg.
Respect though, thats a 450-500lb person he's walking across the ring with.

One more time, hopefully it works this time. 3rd time is the charm.

Pay attention at 0:23 and 2:45. And yes, this type of body slam requires a great deal of strength unlike the type of slam Brooke performed on Hogan, which isn't even a legit body slam.

OK, can I take a risk getting flamed here and say Kane is more than 6'7.5"? Obviously not 7 foot, but I would certainly put him 6'9", 6'10".

Mamun Thats not a body double its hogan jumping in the air and brooke shields guiding him over, its a body slam... Thats how its done. Its one conituous shot, no break for a double to step in....

Vegas says on 13/Jul/09
it was brooke slamming hogan, like all body-slams they are assisted by the receiving wrestler, just like these chokeslams here Click Here

My friends there is something in Hollywood called " Body Double " ! If you really looked closer , you will find out that it wasn't Brook Shields at all who salamed Hogan but a stunt body double . Brook couldn't have done this stunt for real ! regards Supermun

Slams like Brook did on Hogan don't show strength, but that is world's removed from the slam Kane performed on Big Show. All Brooke did was follow through with Hogan's own momentum, she never controlled his entire body weight. Kane lifted all of Show's weight, held him up with no momentum, changed direction and then slammed him. It showed Kane can actually lift and control Show's body weight. Brooke could have never performed that type of body slam on Hogan.

OK thats very impressive ! But show and SID never faced off even though they were in the wrestling scene at the same time. Whats even more amazing is that Andre and SID never faced off even though they both worked in the WWF in 1989? If there was someone in the Big Show catagory , I am sure SID would have easily body salamed him ! But I still don't see SID'S amazing agility and moves in the ring in KANE ? Regards Supermun

Kane performing a nearly unassisted body slam with full rotation on a 2002 Big Show (close to 500 lbs.) In the beginning on the video Kane hoists Big Show up and carries then dumps him over the top rope.
