kurt angle said that you're always billed atleast 3 inches taller in pro-wrestling. in wwe, angle was billed 6'2", in the olympics he was billed 5'11". benoit was billed 5'10" so in real life he must be 5'7" tall.

hs2011 says on 20/Dec/11
At both the 1994 & 1995 Super J Cup tournaments in Japan, Benoit was listed at 175cm and 100kg which was legit for him IMO.

sean says on 14/Dec/11
i think the reason talk about his height is because he wasnt 6' 10'. in real life hes not really short. hes actually over the average height. he was actually a pretty big dude

Mike says on 6/Dec/11
I met Benoit in 2002 and took a picture with him. Hes just a bit shorter than me. I am 6 ft tall so he would have to have been 5 10 or 11..

Beastman says on 27/Nov/11
Why did he say his height was a problem? Did he think he was too short or something?

Tman says on 19/Nov/11
this guy sometimes wore lifts

Vegas says on 11/Nov/11
in 1996 early 1997 roddy piper was about 2-2.5 inches taller than benoit

Alex says on 6/Oct/11
Angle- 5'10
Jericho- 5'9
Benoit 5'8 1/2
Eddie- 5'7

Benoit listed as 5'8" on this site

Jon says on 29/Sep/11
Rob, if you google his name and see the autopsy report, you see that it says he's 5'11. i doubt it since the photo evidence proves he's 5'8.5'' -5'8.75''. would you say that the autopsy report on his height is 100% correct?

They try to get as close as they can to their billed heights
___________

that makes no sense, kurt angle never looked close to his 6'2 billing in boots and was 3 inches shorter than cena who was billed at 6'1, batista billed at 6'6 was always shorter than 6'4 billed randy orton in boots, hhh billed 6'4 was always 2 inches shorter than orton in wrestling boots, sheamus billed 6'6 is clearly shorter than 6'5 wade barrett in wrestling boots, 7ft billed kane is nowhere near 7ft billed big show in boots Click Here

Legend says on 26/Sep/11
Of course those boots lift all of them up Clay. They try to get as close as they can to their billed heights.

Clay says on 21/Sep/11
Looking 5'10'' next to Chavo in multiple shots but he was in those boots which lifted him up surely.

Alex says on 12/Sep/11
I wouldn't put Benoit at over 5'9. Maybe 5'8 1/2 but I wouldn't go as low as 5'8 for him.

Danh90 says on 8/Sep/11
Benoit is listed on various websites as tall as 5'11" and as short as 5'8". My best bet is that he was either 5'8.5" or 5'9" max like this page says.

Legend says on 8/Sep/11
@Vegas

Honestly, it looks like your estimate of Chavo might be off a little. He doesn't look much more than 5'6 to me. I'll put Benoit at 5'8.5 but that could be stretching it. He says he's "about 5'9 or 5'10", which strikes me as odd. Why would someone say they're "about 5'9" and/or a whole inch taller, about 5'10? It sounds like to me he's not even 5'9 and he's trying to climb up to 5'10 by first saying "about 5'9", then stretching it out to "or 5'10".

Vegas says on 7/Sep/11
legend, the problem with danimals estimate is he says benoit was 5'7 and then claims mene gene was minimum 5'8 (check hogans page 29/aug/11) despite the fact that benoit looked about 2 inches taller than gene every time he stood next to him in 1995-96 in wcw, youtube the two and you will see i am right

i met chavo and talked with him last year, he is about 5'7, benoit looks 5'11 in that shot obvious not that tall though Click Here

benoit noticeably taller with higher shoulders in this shot too Click Here full length Click Here

Legend says on 7/Sep/11
This guy looked 5'8 absolute max. He had a classic short man physique. Big head, short extremities. I agree with Danimal.

MBH says on 25/Aug/11
i changed my mind 174

Mr. Tempus says on 11/Aug/11
I always thought he was 5'10 and near 6'0 with the wwe boots, his billed height was 5'11, i don´t know he may be 5'8, the wwe always add some inches to wrestlers.

joes says on 23/Jun/11
To me he looks 5'6-5'7 because when we see guys who are billed at 6'4 6'5 (who are real 6'2-6'3).They are too big when they stand to 5'9-5'10,is like a big head.

Clay says on 21/Jun/11
5'9 period, another height that Danimal fudges.

Vegas says on 18/Jun/11
Danimal says on 22/Oct/10
5'7 3/4"

Danimal says on 26/Sep/10
5'7"-5'8"
____________

can you post a video where he looks 5'7, ric flair didn't have that much height on him in 1996 or arn anderson either, certainly nothing like 4 inches, and mene gene always looked 2 inches shorter than benoit in wcw

Thats cuz guerro was like 5'7"

MBH says on 15/May/11
i'd say 5'10, he looks way taller than eddie guerrero who was 5'8 when they hug

The Big Tuna says on 12/May/11
First off benoit was a great wrestler, that had to do more to get the same respect as a bigger guy. any way he was 5'9". He looked 5'9". Some of the bigger guys just get in the ring, and just look big, and walk around, do a few simple moves, and their job is just to look huge. Benoit was the man, risky manuevers, high flying sh*t. he was better at 5'9" than most of them at over 6 feet. In the end it cost him though

Eric says on 3/May/11
Benoit had extremely short arms and legs which made him look shorter than he actually was. 5'9 was accurate even though he looked 5'6.

Clay says on 17/Feb/11
He pulled off 5'10 easily only in boots. He really was 5'8.5-5'9.

Anonymous says on 7/Feb/11
Actually, he pulls off 5'9" and 5'10" easily, what throws most people off, but what they don't realise, is how short his arms are. He has a moderately short wingspan which makes him look shorter from the distance.

Alex says on 14/Jan/11
5'9 at the very most Benoit is. I'd go with 5'8 1/2.

krazy krippled! says on 2/Jan/11
I think Benoit could pass as 5'10 on a good day, btw, Benoit is definitely the best technician in pro-wrestling history, even if he didn't have Kurt Angle's olympic experience, Benoit was that talented, and the biggest loss ever for pro-wrestling, without him ECW just couldn't help but sank anyways while nowadays WWE is even more mediocre than in the 80's.

MikeSCORPION says on 29/Dec/10
He was so tall like myself...5'9-5'10 (175-178)cm! Without the WWE boots.

Clay says on 4/Dec/10
legit 5'8 3/4'' - 5'9'' man.

Mr. R says on 29/Nov/10
Benoit was just over 5-8.
