I'm fairly sure a giant such as Big Show, Shaq etc, could lose well over an inch in height through the day.
Big Show probably wakes at over 7"0 and is down to 6"11 by nightime.
450+ lbs on your spine isn't going to keep you at your peak morning height for very long.

I lose a FULL INCH from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed. Big Show says on 20/Mar/10

Here's more proof that ANYONE in a photo with Barkley has to be upgraded.
If Barkley is 6'4 or 6'5", then Arnold Schwartznagger is 5'8".
Arnold has 4" thick cowboy boots on and Barkley has thin soled dress shoes on and yet look at the INCREDIBLE height difference.
4" thick cowboy boots?????????? I don't even think such cowboy boots excist. Sal says on 19/Mar/10

Barkley at age 21 after a good night's sleep may have been 6'7 1/2" or even 6'8" barefoot. Sal says on 19/Mar/10
The spine NATURALLY compresses just from gravity throughout the day.
After a good night's sleep the spine is relaxed and the average person gains about 1/2" of height. Taller people gain more height. Danimal says on 18/Mar/10
Sal, where do you come up with this compressed spine after 21 years of age? BUDDY, people don't start to SLOWLY shrink until AFTER 40 years of age, UNLESS they undergo height reducing surgery. You exaggerate things, like a compressed spine after having been up for 16 hours. How do you know how long Barkley was up for that mugshot? News flash, you DON'T.
Here is a nice little article for you to read: Click Here topdweeb says on 18/Mar/10

"Shaq has a camera advantage as you can see the his left foot is FAR closer to the camera than either of Barkley's feet. Shaq is 7'2 1/4 in those shoes with a compressed spine, Barkley is 6'7" in those shoes at older age and with a compressed spine. Barkley @ age 21 with a a relaxed spine and thick soled sneakers was at least 6'8 1/2" and Shaq at age 21 with a relaxed spine and the super thick soled Shaq sneaker(which probably weren't even invented yet) would have been 7'3+"
LOL, I love how the people on this site, instead of simply admitting they were wrong, instead choose to use acrobatic word play to still try to support their wrong ideas. Sal says on 18/Mar/10

Barkley was slouching in the 2nd mugshot. I think the mugshots are conclusive proof(beyond a shadow of a doubt) not just beyond a proponderance of evidence.
Barkley's mugshots with a compressed spine in the middle of the night(awake 16+ hours) show that when comparing anyone to Barkley, you have to give Barkley a MINIMUM of 6'7" in shoes under any circumstance even if he's slouching and he has a compressed spine from being awake 16+ hours.
Thus the height of anyone standing next to Barkley in photos has to be readjusted. Click Here Danimal says on 17/Mar/10

Also did Nash claim to be 6'11" at some stage?
Yes he did. Having described himself and being described by other. On more than one occasion. Annoyed says on 17/Mar/10
cool cool, well I believe Nash to be a 6'9" and Morgan to be about 6'8.5" .
I was exagerating saying Morgan had 3" lol lol
Nash looking consistently 3" shorter than Big Show who I belivee is 7'0" clean Vegas says on 17/Mar/10
barkley is clearly not ~6'9 in shoes, here shaq in dress-shoes so no excuses comes out at least 7 inches taller, that would place shaq at ~7'4 in his shoes, if shaq is 7'2 in his shoes then barkley cannot be more than 6'7 in his Click Here Vegas says on 17/Mar/10
well sal the editor of this site has barkley at 6'4.75 Click Here
for what its worth i think barkley is at least 6'5 and probably 6'5.5 barefoot, again that doesn't explain why he lost a full inch between those two mug shot photos....... JT says on 16/Mar/10
Annoyed, Big Show and Nash did have a few decent stare downs. In the video Vegas posted a few weeks ago that led to the stare down pic you posted, Nash initially looks 3 inches shorter than Big Show Click Here and then he rises a bit to look closer in height Click Here Not sure if he went up on his toes or just straightened up. We don’t know what the respective postures and stances were below the camera.
Nash usually looked a solid 3 inches shorter than Big Show Click Here Click Here Click Here though Big Show probably had up to a 0.5” footwear advantage most of the time.
Regarding Matt Morgan, there are a few videos (albeit of poor quality) with Big Show: Click Here Click Here In comparable footwear, my best guess is that Nash would have Morgan by at least 0.5” and possibly up to 1”. In WWF, Nash did stand by his 7 foot billing. In WCW, he then sometimes referred to himself as 6’10” or let others do it, such as when Hall claimed that Nash stopped growing at the “cool” height of 6’10” while Big Show kept growing past the freakish 7 foot mark.
Here’s about the only decent in-ring screen cap of Big Show and Rodman Click Here Big Show probably has a 0.75” footwear advantage as IIRC Rodman was in Chuck Taylor shoes. It’s still a pretty significant height differential. Joey says on 16/Mar/10
"Nash with Matt Morgan ( Nash with footwear disadvantage )"
That picture is the only frame in the video where Nahs looks taller. So you obviously selected it because of that. If you watch the video you see they are basically identical in height. Sal says on 16/Mar/10
Barkley's mugshots were taken at night after he threw a guy through a window at a club. Barkley would gain about 2/3" of height when he wakes up.
Vegas claiming that Barkley is even a hair under 6'6" is laughable.
Also, when wearing sneakers, Basketball players ALWAYS have a footwear advantage over wrestlers thin soled boots. This was clearly demonstrated when Shaq gained 1.5" from his sneakers compared to his dress shoes in the ring.

staying with morgan this was posted a few weeks back on jones page, needed to be rotated slightly, can't see footwear but morgans in shorts so i doubt he has anything bigger than sneakers on Click Here

nash and big show staredown from 2003 in wwe, full video of that photo you posted Click Here
nash and morgan are extremely close like i said before, they were listed same height in ncaa, both men look about the same amount shorter than paul wight and both look identical in that staredown video from about 2 years ago when you discount nash's camera angle, they both have same posture and same position from the camera here, nash might be half an inch at best taller but thats it, nash is simply too short next to kareem and paul wight to have been 6'10 barefoot imo and morgan looked 6'8 range to me in person and i have met the guy three times Click Here morgan has the camera angle here about 4 years ago both men in shoes Click Here Annoyed says on 16/Mar/10
Also did Nash claim to be 6'11" at some stage? Annoyed says on 16/Mar/10
Good vid Vegas. Nash looks 2"-3" taller than Rodman when they both line up and straighten up , I think Nash has a 1/2 inch footwear advantage though. Rodman was listed as 6'8" however I think he is prolly about 6'7" barefoot. He has a good bit on Hogan. I think Nash was probably at least a comfortable 6'9" at this stage, perhaps first thing in the morning he was even the 6'10" he claimed for so long!
I always found it quite refreshing that when being billed at 7'0" , Nash still claimed himself to be 6'10" ! Even when Taker was claiming to be 6'10" himself, Nash maintained that it was HIMSELF that was 6'10", despite being 2" taller than Taker in all situations, except one single back stage segment ( where he was still an inch taller ! ) . I always found it strange that Taker claimed his real height was his kayfabe 6'10" and Nash also claimed 6'10" despite clearly being taller than Taker !!!!!!!
Nash claiming 6'10" at any stage is fine if he is 6'9" barefoot as he would be 6'10" in boots anyway. Also, Morgan at 6'11" !!?? Morgan HIMSELF claims 6'10" does he not? He usually looks about 1/4 to 1/2 inch shorter than Nash. The only time he matches Nash is in those ridiculous boots Morgan sometimes wears!!
Here is Big Show with Nash, it looks like Big Show is getting a big advantage by being closer to the camera, but if you look at Nash's arm, he actually has it around Show, so he is only a tiny bit behind and Show isn't gaining that much from it. It is the size of Show's body that makes Nash look much further away : Click Here
Nash with Matt Morgan ( Nash with footwear disadvantage ) : Click Here
here is the full video , take a look at Morgans boots compared to Nash's shoes !!!! They are laughable and probably unsafe !! : Click Here
And the old classic of Nash and Big Show, this is not a great angle but it is the best that seems to be out there, better than the in ring old WCW stuff were Nash would slouch down to make his self look smaller and Show had massive huge heeled show boots and posture not to mention angle stuff, why push a 7'5" billing for a guy who is already a 7 footer !?? yeah here is Show and Nash, seems consistent with the first pic with the officer : Click Here
Are there any pics of Morgan and Big Show , any articles regarding Morgans height or anything, I find it strange that a guy can have a bigger billing than Nash yet seems to struggle and has to pull every trick there is from military posture to 3" heeled wrestling boots, to even match a 50 year old, knee op and torn leg muscled withered old giant who claims to be 2" shorter than 7'0".
Also are there any old college basketball listings for Nash, Big Show and Morgan? Id say Nash would be listed at 2" - 3" shorter than Show ( depending on show's height at his peak ) Show to be somewhere around the 7 foot mark. And Morgan to be around 6'8" but billed at 6'9" ? anyone have these and data on Morgan? Vegas says on 16/Mar/10
if kareem was 7'3 he would have been listed at that in the nba, he was measured at 7'1.65 age 22 years 6 months in 1969 Click Here ralph sampson was no 7'4+, he was around 7'2, even though he is clearly closer to the camera he is not 4+ inches taller than 7ft tops robert parish Click Here
again sal we don't need you to post stuff thats been posted a million times already on here like that barkley mugshot, barkley is 6'8 in the left shot and 6'7 in the right, did he lose an inch in a matter of seconds?? or maybe he is closer to the camera in the left photo :) austins ~6'4 too i guess Click Here
kobe claims 6'4 flat for himself Click Here you claim barkley wakes up "6'8 3/4" with shoes" then you claim "Kobe is taller than Barkley" which to me suggests you think kobe is at least ~6'9 in shoes totally contradicting what kobe himself says here, "I'm probably 6-5 in sneaks" Click Here
more pressing matters, here is a peak conan o brien with couple of nba stars in 1995 including shaq, robinson and Mutomobo; camera angles are not the best Click Here JT says on 15/Mar/10
That’s a great photo of Barkley with Pippen and Ewing, as it negates the ridiculous claim that Barkley is only 6’4” and Ewing 6’9”. There are many references to Pippen being 6’7.5” when the Bulls drafted him. Click Here Click Here Pippen’s own coach, Doug Collins, referred to him as 6’9” though that may have been in shoes. These photos put Barkley right around 6’6” barefoot, which he pretty much always looks
Click Here Click Here Click Here Ewing was a solid 6'11" though he's really gotten fat now and may look shorter.
Sal, what good is it to compare photos where Kobe is standing behind Magic and Nash is standing in front of Magic???? Regarding David Robinson, that link does not document the results of any U.S. Navy physical. That’s just his NBA-listed height. Robinson looked two inches taller than 6’10” Tim Duncan, about an inch taller than 6’11” Greg Oden, and about an inch shorter than 7’1” Shaq. You can do the math and figure that one out. Sal says on 15/Mar/10
Mutomobo is almost 40 years old and thus lost some height, has lost some height becuase of hip replacement surgery, and also has a very wide stance which shortens his height. Yao Ming was 7'5" pre draft but he grew to at least 7'5 3/4". Sal says on 15/Mar/10
Kareem was probably about 7'3". Artis Gilmore was a strong 7'2" and he's only met 5 men tower over him in his entire life. Kareem was one of them. There seemed to be very little difference in height between 7'4+ Ralph Sampson and Kareem in the Rockets/Lakers Playoff series in the mid 80s.
Click Here Sal says on 15/Mar/10
This right hear proves that you can't trust Vegas' estimates at ALL.
Charles Barkley is 6'8 1/4" with shoes at bed time. Barkley would be about 6'8 3/4" with shoes when he wakes up. Pippen is at least 3 inches taller than Barkley. Kobe is taller than Barkley. Magic Johnson is a lot taller than Barkley. Vegas never got the memo that many tall people say they're shorter than they really are to make themselves feel less like a freak.

Bill Walton was 7'+ and he used to lie and say he was 6'11".

kobe and magic were side by side at MJs funeral Click Here
there is no way nash has 6 inches on kobe, that means matt morgan has 6 inches on kobe too, placing both men at around 6'11, not happening, as kobe is about 6'5 (though claims 6'4 flat for himself for some reason) nash had about 2.5 inches on rodman and rodmans wearing half inch converse so half an inch footwear disadvantage Click Here nash was also clearly shorter than ~7'2 kareem at peak Click Here cue sal to now say kareem was 7'5+ :)
scottie pippen 6'9, oh man, that means an upgrade for everyone, pippen was 6'7, his afro gave him about an inch or two but a 6'9 pippen means a nearly 7'1 ewing, a 6'7+ barkley Click Here
Mutombo and shaq were both measured at 7'1 barefoot, Mutombo is not taller whatever you may think, mutombo doesn't look more than 7'1 in any photo or video next to 7'5+ yao ming Click Here Click Here Click Here must be yaos huge elevator shoes :) Sal says on 14/Mar/10

Click Here Similar to how Giant Haystacks measured up though Barkley would have bigger footwear on than Haystacks. Rob’s 6’4.75” estimate for Barkley is at least an inch too low. If not, than Hogan’s peak height is under 6’4”. Sal says on 14/Mar/10
BTW, if there is anyone who actually thinks that David Robinson is even a HAIR less than 7'1", here are the results of one of his Naval Academy Physicals.
Click Here Sal says on 14/Mar/10
Vegas, David Robinson is NOT an inch shorter than Shaq(unless Shaq is 7'2" barefoot). Shaq's sneakers are far thicker than other basketball players or just about any other athletic or dress shoes. Shaq looks as tall as Mutombo when both are wearing sneakers when Mutombo is at least 1 to 2 inches taller than Shaq barefoot. Saying that David Robinson is 7'0" who towered 3"+ over Olajuwon(who was falseley listed at 7'0") is LAUGHABLE.
Shaq's sneakers are SUPER ELEVATOR SHOES. Click Here
Shaq MAGICALLY gained an extra 1.5" in the staredown with Bigshow when he wore his sneakers compared to when Big Show and Shaq were wearing almost identical dress shoes. In Conclusion, if David Robinson is 7'0", then Patrick Ewing is 6'10 3/4", Olajuwon is 6'8 1/2", and Mourning is 6'6 1/2" tall.
You also ignore the fact that many NBA players are TALLER than listed height.
Scottie Pippen was listed 6'7" for many years by the NBA when he is no less than 6'8 3/4" near bedtime. Pippen at his peak was probably 6'9"+ after a good night's sleep. He's taller than Karl Malone and Charle's Oakley in many photos. JT says on 13/Mar/10
Here’s Oliver Miller in about the identical posture with Jermaine O’Neal, who I believe is a legit 6’11” Click Here We don't know Nash's footwear, though I tend to doubt a full 6'10" given how he measured up to Kareem. topdweeb says on 12/Mar/10
Vegas: I couldn't agree with your post more. Annoyed says on 12/Mar/10
JT great pic with Oliver and Nash btw !!! Nash appears around 1" taller. There is an outside chance that Oliver's usual 6'9" billing is MAYBE his in shoe height. He MAYBE is 6'8" barefoot and flat, which would make Nash, 6'9" barefoot and flat. Of course, we cannot see footwear but being a mild Kevin Nashf an, huge wrestling fan and compiling all the pics I have for this topic and the Kevin Nash thread I am confident that due to his usual habit of wearing standard dress shoes or sneakers, his footwear MAY be what he usually wears. Oliver though, could be a 6'7" man in 2" lifts ( Yes, I know , measured athlete, national sport listings, repeated articles and statements all say he is 6'9". )
All this once again shows us is truly how tall Nash is. Big Show is always at least 2" taller than Nash, in the early days he always appeared closer to 3" taller. They even pulled off a few shots of Show looking 4" taller !!!! ( Big Show's footwear, the odd angle or Nash slouching to a military posture Nash. )
But the set in stone usual average difference between Nash and Show, is 2" -3". If Oliver Miller was a legit 6'9" barefoot, Nash would actually be a comfortable 6'10" in that photo as he has worse posture than Oliver. IF my own belief that Oliver is 6'9" in SHOES which would mean he is really 6'8" barefoot. Then Nash is standing a strong 6'9" in this picture! Do we have enough on Nash to say he is at least 6'9" yet ? JT says on 11/Mar/10
It would not be shocking if the tall wrestlers (e.g., Khali, Nash, Morgan, Taker, Kane) had some contract clause precluding their at least being measured in public (on TV, etc.). If not, there should be an informal understanding about not having your real height exposed. Big Show's at or close to his billed height, which is why they can stick him in the ring with Shaq. You would think the WWE would at least admonish them (e.g., Khali, Kane) about being photographed next to guys of known height like Shaq, as they reportedly used to do with Andre. Or maybe they think they can still get away with saying that the other guy is taller than he really is ("7'4"" Kareem with Nash).
Sal, I've seen several reports that Oliver Miller was measured at 6'7.5" barefoot for the 1992 draft. Even if he was 6'9" barefoot what if Nash has cowboy boots on with his jeans? And 375 lbs.? He was a blob but probably closer to 320. Vegas says on 11/Mar/10
well if hogan is listed at 6'7 on obsessed for wrestling it must be right!! guess andre really is 7'4 Click Here and john cena 6'3 lol Click Here the only explanation here is that hogan at 40 lost nearly 3 inches right, we know rodman isn't more than 6'7 and he and hogan stand together at 6mins 20secs Click Here
lets see if i got this right, hogan was 6'3 at 17, grew 4 inches to be 6'7 by 20 then started losing height dramatically which meant by 40 he looked at least 2.5 inches shorter than a legit 6'7 man
gonzales was listed at 7'6 in the nba, only a handful of men have ever been listed at 7'7 in the nba and gonzales wasn't one of em Click Here

sal; i didn't ignore david robinson, you posted a crap photo of rodman closer to the camera, for what its worth robinson is around 7ft, he was an inch shorter than shaq, robinson was a much taller man than rodman Click Here Click Here
oliver miller was measured at 6'7.5 barefoot Click Here
and yes i do believe hogan grew after 17, but i don't believe what you claim ie he grew 4 inches until the age of 20 and then started losing height after 1974, nobody loses height in their 20s or their 30s either unless something major happens their body, my friend who was 24 at the time and a top college star had major spinal and back surgery, so bad he couldn't do something as simple as ride on a train for months, he didn't lose anything, he is still a solid 6'3 today
btw sal all you are doing is regurgitating photos and listings the likes of big show, jt, chris and me found and throwing it back at us, we know this stuff, we found it first, i have also met paul wight on three occasions (2001, 2002 and 2006), he was never 7'2+ JT says on 11/Mar/10

Their should be official measurements of the wrestlers. Most wrestlers would fall anywhere from 1-3 inches of their billed height. Some may be 4-5 inches less. Then you got exceptions like Cena and Orton who are their billed height or within an inch of it.
Or Spike Dudley, Christian, and Mark Henry (and others) who are billed under. miko says on 10/Mar/10

Giant Gonzalez was listed at 231 cm on his national team which is 7'7" not 7'6". Also, the taller you are the more height you will lose per decade. Somebody 7'7" will lose a hell of a lot more height than somebody 5'0" tall per decade. Hogan was listed at 6'7" look at obsessed with wrestling.

Vegas, do you even understand that Hogans PEAK HEIGHT was before 1974? Height loss is very very slow after age 21, it accelerates to "stage 2" height loss after age 40, and what I'd call "stage 3" after age 70. Hogan was a SOLID 6'7" before 1974. You also have to remember that Paul Wight was listed as a 7'1" center for Wichita State by the NCAA and he was continuing to grow till he had surgery. Compare 6'8" Dennis Rodman(once listed at 6'10") to 7'1" David Robinson here Click Here
Now compare Big Show to Rodman(Rodman has a huge afro and a cap on top giving him an extra 2"). Click Here

"no measuring clause in their contracts"
*shakes head*
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the taller athletes in the WWE have that clause in their contracts. Especially the ones whose heights are exaggerated.
Circus giants use to have such clauses in their contracts. The reason for that of course was that their heights were greatly exaggerated. Big Show says on 10/Mar/10
Sal says on 8/Mar/10
Bigshow is still slightly over 7'0" tall. I'd say he's 7'0.25" right now.
He just has really bad posture. When Shaq and Bigshow were both wearing similar shoes, you can clearly see Show's real height here.
Click Here
Shaq gains a LOT OF extra height from his like 3 or 4" thick soled sneakers(Khali is DEFINATELY taller than Shaq by at least an inch becuase Shaq was wearing his thick soled sneakers again".
Show Prime 7'2.25" now 7'0.25"
Undertaker Prime 6'9", now 6'7"
Hogan, Prime 6'7", now 6'3.75"
Great Khali, Prime 7'2.75", now 7'1.5"
Giant Gonzolez Prime 7'7"
Shaq Prime 7'1.25" now 7'0.75"
David Robinson Prime 7'1" now 7'0.5"
Kevin Nash Prime 6'11" now 6'10"
You're very gullible when it comes to claiming height loss for each and every one. Show is only 38 years old, yet he already lost 2 inches? If he was 7'2" in his prime, he must've already lost 2 inches by the time he went to the WWF in 1999 (age 27), because they billed him at 7' in the beginning (later bumped it up to 7'2" and then changed it back to 7'). Or are you implying they listed him 2 inches below his actual height, which also makes little sense as they were billing him "the largest athlete in the world". Downplaying his height would not exactly help validating that claim now would it?
And if the other heights are true, it means at one time they were all listed below their actual height.
Undertaker was billed 6'8" when he was the Master of Pain in USWA.
Hogan was billed 6'6" on several occassions back in the late 70's.
Great Khali was listed 7'1" in bodybuilding.
Giant Gonzales was listed 7'6" while playing basketball for the Atlanta Hawks.
Kevin Nash was listed 6'10" while playing basketball and was also often referred at that height while wrestling in WCW. Danimal says on 9/Mar/10

Why you shaking your head Vegas? I'm been serious about the clause existing.
I mentioned this bit of trivia on the Kane debate but will add it here as well & that is that apparently The Great Khali was a policeman back in India! Vegas says on 9/Mar/10
3-4 inch sneakers lol, where do you guys come up with this stuff
7'2+ big show, 6'9 taker, 6'7 hogan, shaq looking height at 37, wow Vegas says on 9/Mar/10
"no measuring clause in their contracts"

From a video Vegas posted on Andre's page from 1995: Click Here Hogan (with slight camera advantage) is probably around 6'7" in his cowboy boots and looks roughly how Giant Haystacks measured up to Big Show. Sal says on 8/Mar/10
Bigshow is still slightly over 7'0" tall. I'd say he's 7'0.25" right now.
He just has really bad posture. When Shaq and Bigshow were both wearing similar shoes, you can clearly see Show's real height here.
Click Here
Shaq gains a LOT OF extra height from his like 3 or 4" thick soled sneakers(Khali is DEFINATELY taller than Shaq by at least an inch becuase Shaq was wearing his thick soled sneakers again".
Show Prime 7'2.25" now 7'0.25"
Undertaker Prime 6'9", now 6'7"
Hogan, Prime 6'7", now 6'3.75"
Great Khali, Prime 7'2.75", now 7'1.5"
Giant Gonzolez Prime 7'7"
Shaq Prime 7'1.25" now 7'0.75"
David Robinson Prime 7'1" now 7'0.5"
Kevin Nash Prime 6'11" now 6'10" Strangerfromuk says on 8/Mar/10
Just to step in regarding this debate & other debates on wrestlers' heights & add that you'll struggle to get a wrestles true height as they often have a 'no measuring' clause in their contracts so their true height is not revealed. miko says on 8/Mar/10
Good comparisons between Hogan/Show JT.
Hogan comes upto to just below Big Shows nose. It does make you wonder though, if Show was a flat 7"0 at that time it would put Hogan at barely 6"5.
Hogan came upto a peak Andre's eyebrows, so it just shows people how much taller Big Show was. At least 2 inches. Chris says on 8/Mar/10

He really does annihalate Kurt. What height is sean michaels and Kurt out of curiosity, I always thought Kurt was around 5'10" - 5'11" with Michaels a clean 6'feet at least, what is the truth?

Vegas: you're right, he doesn't look like he shrank at all. And what you mentioned is a problem for all those who constantly think every wrestler is losing size like a shrimp in the hot sun: they all have to be losing it at the same times and at the same rates. I think it's safer to say that most of the wrestlers are the same size but people just begin to realize that they aren't as big as they once thought they were, so fans just make up reasons to justify it, such as height loss. Mark Whitney says on 5/Mar/10

Also I think Show is 6'11.5" - 7'0" STILL! I think he just has so much weight in his upper body he slouches alot and is used to leaning down to communicate with other humans. I think he may only have lost 0.5" inch through his neck deteriation.
Nash I think could have lost up to an inch just cause he slouches alot like Big Show and Nash has had repeated Knee issues and did someone not say he tore a muscle so cant fully straighten his leg?? or was that a different forum, anyone know about this actually? Annoyed says on 3/Mar/10
I posted this on the Nash page but since it is also relevant to Big Show and this page has a much higher turnover of viewers, I figured it would help with establishing that one thing is for sure, Nash is a very very tall man and yet in equal footwear Giant has 2.5" - 3" in all decent NON-PROMO shots and with equal angle. Let me know what you guys think :
Annoyed says on 12/Feb/10
here are some intersting pics of Nash that really show his size :
Nash next to 6'0" Christian : Click Here
Nash leaning in and slouching next to Konan : Click Here
Nash standing up to big show from decent angle, not great, but decent : Click Here ( looks about 1.5" - 2" here but there is actually about 2" - 3" at this stage of their careers, I think Show lost more height due to his bodyweight and I do know about Nash's knees. )
Nash looking really tall with some people : Click Here
Nash once again looking giant : Click Here ( looks like a 7 footer here although I know he isn't )( I also doubt all of these men are 5'10" or less though it is not impossible )
with 6'5" claimed ( although I believe 6'4" tops 6'3" at the least ) DDP, who still only comes up to the eyes of a leaning and slouching Nash. Click Here
I know footwear etc isn't there but anyone who remotely knows nash knows he tends to have the flattest footwear out of all the big men, especially out of the ring, but anyway this is not evidence for a particular height, just a few pictures to show the real scale of this man, he is very very tall. He shows it in the pic with Manum. Here is my guestimate for Nash:
Peak : 6'10" morning, 6'9.25" evening
Current: 6'9.5" morning, 6'8.75" evening.
Incidentally I think both Kane and Undertaker are around the 6'8" mark, I dont buy this 6'7" talk OR ESPECIALLY the Taker is 6'6" talk !
Nash was 1.5" - 2" bigger than Taker at their peaks and was 3" shorter than the tallest Big Show ever was ( which I think was 7'0.5" or thereabouts ).
thoughts on Nash, Taker, Kane and Show?
I know these are only a few pics but I think they illustrate that Nash is a really tall man, the angles arnt horrible and Nash claims 6'10" himself as someone stated ( altho he used to claim 6'11" aswell ) Rob also lists Nash about 6'9" which I think is his minimum height nowadays. He is taller than Morgan in 90% of pics and on TNA so it does show he still holds up. Any thoughts? Vegas says on 28/Feb/10
yeah, wight had never a full head on hall or even dibiase in nwo, that photo is from the nwo supplement they used to supply with wcw magazine back in 1996, this is a much better comparison of those guys, 9 mins till the end, at 15mins 30secs they are all together on the platform Click Here miko says on 28/Feb/10
@ hs2010: Possibly he could still be near 7"0. I certainly believe he would hit it out of bed anyway.
If he really forces his posture then who knows. He's certainly not more than 1.5" shorter than Khali/Shaq which puts him at a minimum 6"11.5. Marble says on 27/Feb/10
I dont buy into that Nwo picture . hs2010 says on 27/Feb/10
@ miko: do you think when Big Show stands up straight he can still reach 7'0"? miko says on 26/Feb/10
Andre the Giant had 4.5/5" on a PEAK 6"6 Hulk Hogan in the 1970's and 1980's. Andre was a MAXIMUM of 6"11 at his tallest. Hulk kills talk of a 7"0 Andre.
Hulk was down to a flat 6"5 by the mid 1990's, and Show was a good 7" taller than Hulk in WCW, Big Show has a HUGE upper head, from the eyes up around 5.5 inches. Hulk usually came up to around his nose when face to face. Making Show about 7" taller than a 6"5 Hulk Hogan. Hulk wore some chunky black boots in WCW as well as Show.
Here is a PEAK Big Show with 3" on a PEAK 6"9.5 Kevin Nash and at least 7.5" on a 6"5 Hogan (we can't see footwear though):
Click Here
They had a formal staredown for there match in 2007 which I can't find, but the only height wise photo I can find:
Click Here
Big Show was 7"0.25 at his peak, a hair over 7 feet, and in 2010 is a hair under 7 feet due to bad posture. I would go with 6"11.5/6"11.75 for him.
To finalise:
PEAKS:
Big Show: 7"0/7"0.25
Hulk Hogan: 6"5.5/6"6
Andre the Giant: 6"10.5/6"11
Today/At Death:
Big Show: 6"11.5/6"11.75
Hulk Hogan: 6"3.5/6"4
Andre the Giant: 6"9.5 (at death) Big Show says on 25/Feb/10

the funny thing is that all hogan haters claims his peak height was 6'3.5 - 6'4 and at the same times claims Paul wight (big show/wcw Giant) was at his peak 7 feet..show me a clip where Paul Wight has Hogan by 8 to 8.5 inches...back in 1995-1996 in WCW paul wight didn't look more than 6 inches taller than Hogan..he did also have thciker boots than hogan..
onother question was Hogan at his peak height 1996? i don't know. Paul Wight sure WAS.
peak heights:
Hulk Hogan 6'5
Andre the Giant 6'11
Big Show 6'11.5 - 7'0
You sure don't make a lot of sense. You claim Paul Wight was at best 6 inches taller than Hogan and he had a footwear advantage. Then you claim Hogan might not be at his peak anymore. But then you finish by saying that a peak Big Show was 6.5"-7" taller than a peak Hogan? Something doesn't add up. Hogan says on 25/Feb/10

Tall Guy: we've already addressed the pic above countless times now. It's an inaccurate pic. We don't even know who "mike" is so his credibility is highly questionable. For some reason, the moderator of this site was careless by allowing an unknown to post a pic of himself with the Big Show (again, no one knows who "mike" is) and instead of admitting he made a mistake, he continues to let the pic remain. Tall Guy says on 19/Feb/10
Andre was 6'10, 6'11' max, so BigSHow is likely 6'9".
In that pic he looks around 6'9", and I imagine he wears boots with lifts. tna_fever says on 18/Feb/10
Show/Giant wore big lifts in WCW, especially when Kevin Nash joined WCW/NWO
I'll say Giant was actually 6'11 barefoot miko says on 18/Feb/10
The Yeti had a maximum of 1" on Show.
Look at the video, both men standing tall from 1:50 to 1:55. Yeti is barely taller, perhaps 0.5" taller, Big Show is slightly closer to the camera though.

"It's not explanation that should persuade you or others. It's straight from the horses mouth. Hogan claimed in the early mid-90's in some kind of interview to have lost 1.25" in 1990 due to back surgery..."
Yeah, and since when is anything that Hogan says is reliable?? This is coming form a guy who claims Kevin Nash is 7' 2, that Andre drank 108 beers in one hour, etc. I would take the tooth fairy's word over Hogan's.
kinggollum: I have said time and again, that I think Andre was in the right time and the right place along with just enough charisma to make it work. Fact is, back in Andre's day, a wrestler of his size was very rare and to top it off, you only got to see Andre a couple times a year. Today, wrestlers Andre's size isn't that uncommon, and we get to see them every single week.
I think if Andre was wrestling in this generation, he'd be no more popular than the Big Show.
Everything Hogan says you just have to take with a pinch of salt. He has made some outrageous claims over the years, which kinda proved that he exaggerates a lot of stuff. Heck, I think if you'll ask him how many copies were sold of Brooke's first CD, he'll probably tell you it outsold Thriller.
As for Andre’s success, many factors are involved: right place, right time, right booking, but also the right man for the job. No matter what place, time or booking were involved, guys like Max Palmer, Giant Gonzales, Silo Sam, Uncle Elmer or the Great Khali would’ve still stunk as they simply lack the wrestling skills.
Andre had an almost 30-year wrestling career (1963-1992), but most seem to only remember him from his last 10 years. I haven’t seen any matches of Andre from pre-1972 when Andre was already wrestling for 9 years. If we hadn’t seen any footage of Big Show pre-2004 we might not be so enthusiastic about his wrestling skills either, as his prime years were clearly before that period. topdweeb says on 3/Feb/10

I am clearly an Andre fan and believe him to be at least 7'1 peak but I will openly admit, Big show by far is a better athlete of the two at about anytime of their careers. At times I wondered if the two were both wrestling in the 60s through early 80s, would Andre have been the way of Stan Fraiser and Silo Sam and right now we would be talking about Show as the shadow new wrestling giants must get out of?

....Big Show having herniated discs in his neck? Since when?
Click Here There are also several articles around the time that he retired from the WWE a few years ago when he mentioned his nagging injuries, including having herniated discs in his neck. You don't necessarily need surgery for this unless the discs start impinging on nerves. There's so much "whiplash" head movement in wrestling that herniated discs in the neck are not that uncommon. kinggollum says on 2/Feb/10

Danimal, don't confuse height loss with poor posture. I and others have posted recent pics of Big Show showing good posture and still looking at or close to 7 feet. Click Here Click Here Click Here Big Show was within an inch of 7’1” Khali in their staredowns after factoring in his slight footwear advantage but Khali having better posture. Big Show (who was around 500 lbs. for only a few years) had roughly 4 inches on 6'8" Akebono, who's been wrestling at 400 lbs. or more for 20 years and looks to have lost little if any height. Unlike Andre up through 1985, Big Show’s had injuries that legitimately may have affected his height (herniated discs in his neck) but he’s still probably lost at most a ˝ inch since his WCW days.
BTW, we are still waiting for your explanation why Hogan lost 1 inch by 1990 (age 37).
It's not explanation that should persuade you or others. It's straight from the horses mouth. Hogan claimed in the early mid-90's in some kind of interview to have lost 1.25" in 1990 due to back surgery. Whether he did or not, I have no idea. I surely don't think we "naturally" lose any height until at least 40 years of age, but extraneous factors, such as surgery clearly does have a premature height loss effect on people and we have seen this now time and time again with several wrestlers: Hogan, Piper, Graham and many others. I don't know if Big Show had surgery on his neck, back, knees, ankles, or hips. If he didn't, then YES, it is JUST poor posture that has given him the appearance of having shrunk 2" in height since the 1990's. Anonymous says on 2/Feb/10

....I've noticed that lately Danimal has been kind of on a mission of downgrading Show and writing off anything that seems to suggest that Show is a legit 6' 11 or even a 7-footer....
He just wants to establish some precedent of huge height loss in relatively young people with no debilitating injuries so as to justify a peak height Andre at 7'0" and Hogan at 6'6".
JT, how about you wrestle for 15 years and weigh over 500 pounds while you're at it? Lets see what that does your posture/height. CaptainSpaulding says on 30/Jan/10
In his Wcw days and before he was a legit 7 footer and as tall as Khali. But sometime between 2000-2008 he seems to have lost an inch, probably from his immense weight. So these days he's 6'11", tho not a hair under because when he really stands straight hes only an inch shorter then Shaq or Khali who are both 7'0" minimum. Big Show says on 30/Jan/10

He is trying to make Show out to be 6' 10; I hate to say this, but in a lot of ways, Danimal is starting to remind me of Jason.
Downgrading wrestlers is nothing new for Danimal, which is a shame because he has more knowledge of the industry than anyone I've seen on here. But he goes way to low for some.

Id figure Silva and Reis both would be taller than Khali and Show.
Silva and Reis would be about the same height. Big Show and Khali would be the same height.
Interesting Question.
I think Reis would be the tallest. Silva with big boots wasn´t taller than Khali.
Reis 7´1.5"
Khali 7´1"
Silva 7´0.5"
Big Show 7´0.5" topdweeb says on 27/Jan/10

"danimal whats your point?? we ignore all wrestlers now in gear?? chavo is in gear too and a full head shorter than snoop, was wight taller in gear next to shaq??"
Yeah no kidding, if anything Show looked shorter in wrestling gear when he was face to face with Shaq. I've noticed that lately Danimal has been kind of on a mission of downgrading Show and writing off anything that seems to suggest that Show is a legit 6' 11 or even a 7-footer. He is trying to make Show out to be 6' 10; I hate to say this, but in a lot of ways, Danimal is starting to remind me of Jason. Vegas says on 27/Jan/10
if reis was taller than khali, then khali ain't 7'1, silva was maybe a hair over 7'1
khali and big show are the same age why would wight shrink and not khali?? khali is taller than wight (unless he wears lifts) MikeV10 says on 27/Jan/10
In this Picture Khali comes out Taller than Silva + Silva is always wearing boots with a big heel

Thank you :D
Snoop doesn't look too much shorter than Shad Gaspard in that video Vegas posted. Shad looked 6'5" with General Odierno. Snoop definitely looks 1" taller than Eric Escobar as well, who Vegas pegged at legit 6'3" so Snoop has to be 6'4" or darn close to it. He also looks 6'4" in that pic Vegas posted with Jason Richardson.
6'3.75" minimum for Snoop Dogg, more likely legit 6'4" IMO. Rika says on 24/Jan/10
Damn snoop looks tall though. I know Shad Gaspard is atleast 6'5-6'6 and he was about 2 inches taller than Snoop while Shad was wearing sneakers compared to snoops flats.
Snoop was also taller than 6'1(billed 6'3) Escobarr.
Snoop looked about 7-8 inches shorter than show.
The one with Khali is 404 :(. Clay says on 23/Jan/10
One thing im psoitive is that Snoop isnt 6'6 Big Show. lol. Clay says on 23/Jan/10

JT says on 22/Jan/10
We can't see Snoop's footwear
strong chance he is wearing these blue sneakers Click Here
video of wight and snoop starts at 54 seconds, pity snoop is standing closer to the camera but the difference is much the same as the photo chris posted Click Here
more video of snoop and wwe guys, he is shown wearing different footwear here, i met eric escobar 2 months ago who comes into the video at 2 mins 12 seconds, he looked to me every bit of 6'3, the absolute lowest i could buy for him is 6'2.5, he surprised me how big he , snoops clearly taller than escobar and dwarfs steve lombardi aka Brooklyn Brawler Click Here Tuga says on 23/Jan/10
Big show looks closer to the camera because he´s so huge, I pretty sure that big show standing tall still hits the 7' mark.
Also Randy orton looks taller than snoop, and mark henry looks at the very least 6'2 with him. Big Show says on 23/Jan/10
Nice find there hs2010
Here's Snoop with The Great Khali. Click Here Something seems fishy here, as Khali only looks 7 inches taller than Snoop.
Snoop's height is hard to pin down, as he nods his head down quite a lot and rarely stands straigth. JT says on 22/Jan/10
We can't see Snoop's footwear or the stances in that pic though. One thing is for sure - Snoop looks shorter than "6'1.5" Mike" in the pic above:) Clay says on 22/Jan/10

The Big Show of 2009, is the same height as a PEAK Andre.
Big Show is down to 6"11, the height of Andre at his tallest.
I've got no doubts that a peak Big Show would have been looking down at a peak Andre. He just looks taller in all comparisons.
Miko, it's 2010, not 2009 anymore bro ;). hs2010 says on 22/Jan/10
Never mind Vegas. Get him next time! Is Matt nice in person? I've heard that he's pretty cool.
Snoop looks legit 6'3.5"-6'4" to me, I don't get where the flat 6'3" comes from since he never looks under 6'3.5" IMO. Here's some more WrestleMania 24 pics from Snoop's MySpace: Click Here Vegas says on 22/Jan/10

hs2010, stood right by Holyfield at LAX back in 1997. He looked at least 6'1", which should put Matt Hardy at around 6'0" (there is a slight camera tilt in Hardy's favor in that pic). Alex says on 22/Jan/10
Big Show looks more 6'11 there with 6'3 Snoop. mike says on 22/Jan/10
rodman who,s probably around 6'7" make up to show eyebrow,big show had in my estimate 4 inches on rodman. mike says on 22/Jan/10

Well, seeing that Big Show is in wrestling gear, he's mostly likely wearing his BIG boots, where as 6'3" Snoop Dog is probably in running shoes. Big Show is also MUCH closer to the camera. I'm not seeing a 7'0" man there at all. I'm seeing MAX 6'10". Andre the Giant would have been the same height as Big Show easily.

Good pic Chris. Just look at the size of Big Show's head. Vegas is probably right about the date. Snoop is wearing a shirt of his latest CD, which was released early last month.
Is Snoop really only 6'3.5". He looks to measure up better to Big Show than Randy Orton does. Vegas says on 21/Jan/10
hs2010; i did but he stood in front of me just as the photo was taken :(

matt hardy was a little taller than me in november, i would say he is right around the 6ft mark
Cool, did you get a pic with him? I find it hard to pinpoint Matt, he can look legit 6'1" at times and a flat 6'0" others. He did look 6'1" with 5'9" AJ Stlyes in an indy match back in 2005 and looks pretty tall here:

Jason, Cycklops and Viper were the original 3 amigos who started this site with me over 5 years ago. I think JT and Alex came along not too longer after that.
I've been checking this site since 2005 I think, but only started posting about 2 years ago. I can't remember Cycklops though, does he still post?
Hasn't been for years. He was one of Jason's stooges and so was Viper back in the beginning of 2005. Viper was called Viper452, then Viper652, then just Viper. Cycklops was a smarter version than Ola, but not any less annoying.
Right, lol. I remember Viper having the numbers after his name but I don't remember Cycklops at all, but if he was just like Ola that's probably a good thing :D
On a side note, I used to have a poster of the Hardys from the late 1990's and they were both listed at 5'11". I think that's another example of the lowest billing not being accurate and both the Hardys are clearly 6'0"+. Danimal says on 15/Jan/10

When I first came on here Hogan and Andre were the ONLY wrestlers on this site and neither of them had even a full page of posts. Back then no one even knew about height loss, or surgeries.

in fairness to jason, it was a website that said gonzales was 320 during his time with the hawks and he just picked up on that, he did say he thought gonzales got up to 350 during his time in wrestling, jasons motto here was, the lowest height or weight you see claimed or written for a wrestler/mma fighter etc thats what they probably are.

The 320 lbs. figure may have been from Gonzalez’s reps in Argentina to make him look like a better prospect for the NBA draft. 400 lbs. and the NBA do not mix.
Before Gonzales became a pro wrestler, the president of the Atlanta Hawks said he needed to drop 50 lbs. and get down to around 350-360 lbs. Click Here

All you can see is a guy hunched over and pushing his trolley. Like topdweeb said he his hunched and behind my mate and still looks taller, so what does that tell you! topdweeb says on 5/Jan/10

"Topweed:

I'm just speculating? What the heck do you think you're doing? You're claiming that guard is over an inch taller than Show when Show is CLEARLY in the background and the guard is in the foreground. You're SPECULATING that if Show and the guard were even, then the guard would have over an inch on Show. If anything, we can only say we don't know who is taller, but to me it looks like Show would edge him out if they were even.. is that a speculation? Yes, but don't kid yourself into think you're not speculating either.
As far as whether he is Freddy's friend, you didn't even think he would have a picture at all and now he shows that he does. And the fact that Freddy is offering to show me his facebook where I can see more pics of this guy says that he is not just some random guy he saw at the airport and decided to call him his friend. Freddy has said numerous times now that he works as a security guard and that this guy works there too... that's not exactly anything earth shattering... don't you have any friends at work?
Clay says on 4/Jan/10
"Problem is no way was Big Show a strong 7'0 standing in front of Shaq."
Actually, if you watch their initial confrontation earlier in the night on RAW, when they were both wearing what appeared to be identical footware, Show was VERY close to Shaq's height. But later in the night when Show was in his ring attire and Shaq was in his athletic gear, Shaq suddenly had more height on Show than he did earlier in the night. Before they were in their athletic gear Shaq seem to have an inch or less on Show, but then when they were in their gear, Shaq suddenly seemed Khali-ish and had like 1.5 to 2 inches on Show. That tells me that Shaq's shoes gave him more height than Show's boots gave him.

Danimal says on 3/Jan/10
Freddy, Show is not a STRONG 7'0". That is ridiculous... We have LEGIT 7'1" men having over an inch on him and the WWE announcers state him as near 7'0" nowadays. You first went on to say that your "MATE" was 6'11" and we see he has over an inch on Big Show and now Big Show is a strong 7'0"?????
Big Show is standing behind him can't you see that, in the photo, you can see that the Big Show's shoulders are higher than my mate's and a bigger head, so if Show came forward you would notice that he would be taller(i just wish that my mate took a pic of them side by side and then you would have seen), it's the angle of the camera that makes my mate look taller, i still stand that Show is 7ft even if not strong, when was the last time you saw an announcer measure him?????????? BTW have you ever seen him live? and if you have show us your comparison pics with him.... topdweeb says on 3/Jan/10

Vegas: I still don't agree. I think Andre was a big attraction for his time because men like him were very rare, and to top it off, we only saw him occasionally. Today, we see the Big Show every week, and there are a lot of other men who are around his size or even bigger. Put if Andre was alive and in his prime today, I think he would be about as popular as the Big Show and that's it.
Danimal: How do you figure Freddy's friend is over an inch taller than Big Show? Big Show is standing in the background, and to me it looks like if Big Show were to come up to Freddy's friend, then Big Show would be the taller one. Danimal says on 3/Jan/10
