No doubt his weight won't have done his height any good at all. This guy was damn near 500lbs of pure fat a few years ago.
Always looked a very solid 6'6, maybe not quite 6'7.
Adam says on 8/Jan/12
I thought he was a legit 6'7? Always looked that way to me. Absolute beast.
He's taller than 6'4 Drummer lol. drummer777 says on 29/Oct/11
He probably is 6'4. Kane says on 12/Oct/11
Click Here considering Akebono is legit 6'8 and about 6'8.25 - 6'8.75 in boots and BDV is taller id say BDV's boots are 1 - 2.75 inchs Kane says on 12/Oct/11
Look at this pause at 0:45 Click Here you will see how big Big Daddy V's wrestling boots are there are quite big thick rubber outsoles hes got to be 6'7.75 in them atleast maybe even 6'8.75 they're huge. Kane says on 11/Oct/11
Big Daddy V height 6'6- 6'6.75 boots 6'8-6'9 has been up to 6'10 in boots in his younger days
Kane 6'8.25 - 6'9 boots 6'10 - 6'10.5 Kane says on 18/Sep/11
He's 6'6-6'7 i'd say 6'6.5 or maybe a flat 6'6 because of age and weight but his BDV's wrestling boots were about 2'' or 2.5'' they were thick rubber outersoles. drummer777 says on 7/Sep/11
Maybe Akebono isn't really 6'8, viscera looked the same height ast Akebono. Kian says on 9/Aug/11
in Memphis Wrestling he was billed a 6'6 430lb giant when he was 21 and then in WWE he was billed a 7ft 500lb Viscera then in Ministry was billed 6ft11 then after ministry 6ft10 then as Big Daddy V 6'9 and when he was Mabel 6'8 then as King Mabel 6'7 so he grew 6 inchs lost 5 inchs that dont make sense hes 6'6.5 to 6'7 i think or a flat 6'6. Kian says on 5/Aug/11
supponsenly people said in WWE as Viscera he was 7ft but then he was billed 6ft8 when Mabel so how could you grow 3 inchs after normal growth age he was in his 20's at the time and then he was billed 6ft10 to 6ft11 in Ministry and as Big Daddy V 6ft9 so really he lost 4 inchs then grew 3 inchs then lost 2 inchs????? hes 6ft6.5 to 6ft7 never 7ft or 6ft8-6ft11 otherwise he would of been taller than Kane who was 6ft10 in 2000 but 6ft9 now thats not right because in his 2 inch lifts he still didnt look 7ft he looked 6ft8 compared to 6ft10 Kane at the time???? definately wrong billing.

Viscera around 94 and 95 could have been this tall or even reach 6'6.75 but today because of all the weight he has maybe a flat 6'6. Still pretty big. Shock says on 13/Mar/11
As BDV he started wearing extremely large 2" boots comparable to Kane's originals. They have a sort of steep incline but he probably gains at least 1.75" from them. He definitely comes out taller than Akebono in this particular footwear, but Akebono's are only 0.3" - 0.6" max, which in the end would make Akebono about 0.75" - 1" taller than BDV.
Click Here - staredown starts at 4:25, Akebono's posture isn't very good and BDV's also leaning forward a bit but BDV is definitely taller based on footwear. Some decent boot shots of BDV, particularly at 8:25 during the pin attempt. These are the boots I posted a pic of from an indy show here in NJ. These are also the same boots that make him look about .5" shorter than Kane in his 1.5" - 1.8" and vaguely less than an inch or so shorter than Undertaker in his respective 1.2" boots he has been using for the last 5+ years. Kane or Undertaker in their respective boots in a similar staredown would come out close to 2" taller than Akebono in his small boots (seeing as Undertaker is definitely 1.5" taller than BDV barefoot).
I believe that BDV is no taller than 6'6.75" but no shorter than what he is listed here, which would make Akebono an absolute max of 6'7.75" if you deduct boot difference, and compensate for posture from this video. I figure this is the case if you take the boot value of BDV at max boost at his max possible height, he's 6'8.75" in them, that would make Akebono about 6'8" in his very flat footwear. Comparatively, Kane is about 6'9.25" in his current boots. I would put Akebono between Kane and Undertaker in height (based on my belief that Taker is slightly taller than Kane barefoot), possibly no taller than Kane.
My estimates for these guys:
BDV: 6'6.75"
Kane: 6'7.5"
Akebono: 6'7.75"
Undertaker: 6'8.25"
@Phil
In 1999, when Kane was wearing his 2"+ megaboots and Viscera was wearing 1.5"s, he would look 2" taller than him based on the math, but he's about 0.75 - 1" taller legit.
@dicksock
You can check the video I posted to see how big BDV's boots are. He's not quite the same height as Kane, very close of course. I mean we all mince fractions of an inch, but Kane's definitely got...sigh...at least a CM minimum on him! lol Again this is due to the footwear. Phil says on 12/Mar/11
kane back in 99 was clearly 2 inches taller than a 6'9 viscera Big MIke says on 22/Feb/11
I think 6 ft 9 actually he looks an inch short of 6 ft 10 Undertaker weight close to 500 pound he's just a big ball only reason why he's so strong is he's heavier than an average person we think someone 265 is heavy to him thats like 50 pounds Red says on 15/Jan/11
mandilo says on 30/Oct/10
6ft9 was too much. he is 6ft6.5 - 6ft6.75
