@miko: Sting is not 6'2, more 186-187 cm range. My dad met Sting and Luger at they're old Gym in Atlanta, back in the 90's. Said Sting was a solid 6ft1 guy, but not the full 6'2 he claimed, and nowhere near the 6'3 he was sometimes billed. My dad is excellent with heights, estimated many wrestlers(and managed to meet a few) many years b4 this site, and has always been correct, going by Rob's listings. So 187cm max for Sting, probably 6'1.5, though could be 186cm at his lowest, ESP today. And sorry, no way Hofan is still 6'4, Aikman destroyed that. But Hogan is still a full 6ft3 upstraight, I think, but not more than that. The downgrade from 6'3.5 to 6'3 was well warranted Rob, good job.( and btw, Luger apperantly looked a strong 6ft4, but was in Boots)

Yeah, I did see the pics of Hulk's x-rays and the holes in his back from the surgeries he endured.... I did know a guy who said he lost 2 inches of height from back surgeries.....

It would be safe to say the only thing Hogan lost over the years was his hair...

You do realize he is about 60 years old? The average man loses nearly an inch in height by the time they're 60.
----
True, some people lose height, then again, I met Marc Singer at a convention recently. He's 66 and was the same height as me, that is every bit of the 6'2 he's supposed to be.
So, some people lose height and some don't. My mom is another example, she's 67 years old and exactly the same height as when she was young. My dad on the other hand lost an inch and a half by the time he was 70.
Personally I think Hulk has lost some, due to his career as a wrestler and the steroid use, but not as much as people generally think. My guess is he was 6'4,5 in his prime. and he's lost 1-2 inches.
miko says on 17/Jun/13
Sting is 6'2, Bully Ray is 6'2, Hulk Hogan is 2 inches taller than both.
Matt Morgan is 6'8.5, Hulk is around 4 inches shorter.
Abyss is 6'5.5, Hulk is around 1 inch shorter.
Hulk is clearly still 6'4 WHEN he stands up properly.

You do realize he is about 60 years old? The average man loses nearly an inch in height by the time they're 60. Hogan is far from the typical case. He has severe back, hip, and knee issues. They even showed an x-ray of his back on Hogan Knows Best and sure enough his spine was curved; that was ten years ago.
The truth is he probably was ~6'5.5" in his prime and is now 6'3.5"-6'4" when he stands up to his full height.
Land of Green says on 16/Jun/13
I find it funny how backin the old days people believed hulk hogan to be 6 ft 7 to 6 ft 8 range. Nowadays he is considered a medium size wrestler, close to 6 ft 3 to 6 ft 4 range.
Richard says on 16/Jun/13
Just like the picture of Hogan and the 6'4 guy, and the 6'2 guy I posted a long time ago who looked about Hogan's height... this picture is absolutely devastating for Hogan: Click Here
Remember how Hulk looked next to Angle?
davyyyyyyyy says on 16/Jun/13
I think Andre had a Maximum of 5.5 inches on Hogan. Hogan peak 196cm and Andre 210 cm
Hogan peak 6'5.25 ( 196cm)
Andre peak 6'10.5 (209-210cm)

if andrea was 6-11 hulk surley was 6-6. unless andrea was 6-9. someone needs to find out for sure how tall andrea was, then we can compare and get in the ballpark. 6-3 for hogan i dont think so ,jake the snake was 6-5 and hulk had him by an inch.tenta and hogan looked the same.and he had hillbilly jim by an inch.
Red183 says on 14/Jun/13
Hulk in his prime was 195 - 197cm, today he is at least 191cm.
The Ben says on 14/Jun/13
I've just watched some old wrestlemanias and royal rumble 89.
Hogan peak could have maybe just scraped 6'6 barefoot. He was taller than 6'5? Tom lister.
So many guys standing 5'5 to 6'7 back then.
I couldn't go any higher than 6'7 for big John Studd. Prob nearer 6'6.
One thing i have realized meeting wrestlers is that the big ones seem bigger in real life and the small ones are usually smaller. It's so hard to tell on TV. I'm sure Rob who seems to have met quite a few will agree. Not all the heights are boosted as much as you'd think.

I think that most people have an issue with the exaggeration that BigGuy is making when saying Hogan barely came up to his shoulders. As Wrestlefan 1 pointed out that's only in the 5'9" range for someone who's 6'8".
caldera says on 13/Jun/13
i wouldn't go that far,hulk looks pretty much 6-2 - 6-2.5 peak imo. 6-4 in his lifts
dicksock says on 13/Jun/13
For all those that claim Hogan wore lifts, here is a young Hogan with a prime Andre the Giant. Hogan was in flip flops with almost zero heel and Andre was in cowboy boots. Andre was a legit 6'11" or so barefoot so he was a little over 7' in those cowboy boots.
Click Here
Right says on 13/Jun/13
BigGuy is right, think of it... why would we accept the height loss excuses?! Hogan in his cowboy boots were 5-6 inches taller than Bulldog and Mr T, thats not 6'4 like BigGuy says. Hogan was more like 6'3 and is still nearly 6'3 today... all the height loss excuses are pure bull****. Arnold was at Jay Leno many years ago, and looked the same height as him (maybe a TAD taller) so yes, Arnold most likely was tops 6 ft
Stone says on 13/Jun/13

I ran security at a local sporting arena in the late 1970s and early 1980s when Hulk Hogan first made his debut and I can assure you that Hulk Hogan was never close to being 6 feet 4 inches tall, let alone ever being 6 feet 7 inches tall. I am 6 feet 8 inches tall and Hulk Hogan barely came up to my shoulders, even with lifts in the heels of his wrestling shoes. I have nothing bad to say about him personally. I just wanted to correct any misperception regarding his height (just like when I met Arnold Sshwarzenegger and could tell that he was much less than 6 feet tall).
Buddy, please do not insult everyone's intelligence here. Hogan in equal if not shorter footwear was only one inch shorter than the 6'8" Ben Davidson in the mid eighties. I would come to your shoulders at 5'9". Saying crap like that just shows how rediculous a lot of people are who come on here to try and convince everyone these giants were shorter than they really are/were. Hogan was 6'7" and now is 6'5" or a bit less as every appearance he makes proves him to be. That photo with Davis shows only that with Hogan in flip flops and Davis in thick soled high top sneakers he still was arounf the same height!

Mike2443 says on 9/Jun/13
Yea, I agree. I don't think hogan lost height, I think he got sick of wearing lifts...
There is a great article I will try to find and post...
About hogan always being 6'3. So whatever height he did lose I would say he is closer to 6'2- 6'1 now...
It's wrestling, it's a "show" all these guys need to be GIANTS,
If he was really 6'7, or 6'8 that would mean he lost 5+ inches in height, because we can clearly see he is at least 1 inch shorter than 6'3 Troy aikmen...
So I think 6'3 in his "prime" is about right, and he lost a little bring him to a 6'1/6'2 guy who still wears lifts when he needs to
Connor 184cm says on 9/Jun/13
hulk to me looks no more than 6ft 3 6ft 5 is ridiculous he looks a cm taller than bully ray who i believe is 190cm range and sting looks a wee bit taller than bully could be very clclose to 6ft 3 but if he was ever measured 190.5cm could be his r ange which is a weak 6ft 3 since 6ft 3 is 191cm

But wrestling is based on stories n lies ect... If you know anything about wrestling you know vince Macmahon is the "wrestling god" and he likes GIANTS, EVERY SINGLE wrestler is billed As much bigger than they really are!
I'm the wwf I heard claims of hogan as 6'6-6'9
Anyone that thinks he didnt wear lifts is crazy... Anyone who thinks barefoot he was ever above 6'4 is dumb!
Study, get the facts, you can't just look at a couple pics and decide, " oh yea he's a legit 6'6
Hogan "in his prime" was a 6'4 AT BEST!
Standing next to Troy akmien, who "claims" 6'4 but is Prob 6'3
Hogan is a shrimp.... Hogan is Prob 6'2 or less now, any taller is because he is wearing lifts, WAKE UP people, your "heros" and celebs are not as tall as they claim...
Idk hogans exact height now, but I can say he is right around 6'2
You people want to compare heights- I show one post n pic saying " look, hogan is about an inch taller than so n so who is a legit 6'5" HELLO, how come no1 said anything about hogans cowboy boots?! And who knows what he has in there, 2 inch lifts?... 4+ inches in lifts....
WAKE UP! You people can't really be that dumb can you?
It you are, I'm scared for the future of this country! Go get an education or at least join the military where you will live common sense...

Hogan would have 6'6 barefoot to have that much height on these people. The only other solution he was wearing internal lifts his boots. This goes with the story that McMahon bought Hogan a 1000$ robe and boots with lifts inside them when he first started with the company so they could bill him taller than he actually was.

Here is an interesting article.
The ring in which Thunderlips and Rocky fight featured the standard modifications used in professional wrestling; half-inch padding under the canvas, shock absorbers under the plywood and slightly loosened ropes.
The fight sequence between Rocky and Thunderlips took 10 days to film.
Thunderlips (Hulk Hogan) is billed at a height of 7 feet despite Hogan only being 6'6''. This was because in the first two films, Rocky was billed as 6'1'', whereas Sylvester Stallone is only 5'10''. Because Hogan is genuinely 8 inches taller than Stallone, to maintain the illusion that Rocky was over 6 foot tall, Thunderlips had to be billed as being taller than the actor portraying him.

Funny, you just described Hogan in his prime.
Anyway, here is Hogan and 6'4" Garay:
Click Here
They look about the same height in that picture, but I will admit that Garay looked a little taller than Hogan in some of the other pictures. 6'3.5" is probably spot on for Hogan now. Although, he looked a solid 6'4" next to Matt Morgan and Abyss. Is it possible that Hogan was wearing thin flip flops and Garay was wearing big sneakers in some of the other pictures? Who knows. I wouldn't rule out 6'4" for old Hogan just yet.

Tony Parker is 6’1.25”. Jason Kidd is 6’2 3/4”. You get a rough idea what a solid 6’10” guy (Tim Duncan) and almost 7’0” guy (Dirk Nowitzki) would really look like next to Hogan and IMO why Andre would be closer to Duncan’s height.
____________
So according to your pics, Andre would be at least 3" shorter than almost 7' Dirk Nowitzki. Yet, we have multiple pics of Andre looking the same height as 7'1" Wilt Chamberlain with only about 1.5" of footwear advantage. You even have 6'10" Tim Duncan as taller than Andre.

Here’s a screen cap of Matt Morgan next to Mick Foley, whom Rob has at 6’2”, and Rob Van Dam, whom Rob has at 5’11.5”.

It is Matt Morgan on Family Feud standing right next to 6'2" listed Steve Harvey. Morgan clearly has 7-8" on him. Look at how tall he is compared to Harvey and think back to that in-ring promo he did with Hogan a few weeks ago. Hogan would clearly be much taller than 6'+ Steve Harvey, just like he is several inches taller than 6'1"+ Sting and 6'2" Bully Ray. He has to be around 6'4".
On a different note...

Hogan stood face to face with 6'5/6'5.5 Abyss/Joseph Parks in the ring last night on Impact and looked very close in height to him. Probably an inch or so between both men, and Hogan was standing in fairly good posture. Just like when they had the backstage segment a few years ago and Hogan was looking tall.
Hulk is still 6'4 or close to it when he stands straight. 6'3 is a joke.
Stone says on 10/May/13
Hulk Hogan was most likely 6'4" 1/2 inchs barefoot by the time he puts on his boots he would be just a tad over 6'5"
Jay says on 8/May/13
Hogan wore internal shoe lifts even when he was at prime. Check the length of his lower legs compared to femur length. That's not normal. He also wore his knee pads below his knee to try an hide the fact his lower legs were freakishly long with lifts.

He was listed at 197cm in German bodybuilding magazines. He was also listed at that height in German moviemagazines. He claimed 196cm on his personal website for years.

Hogan at 6'2 is the talk of an insane person.
The very same 6'2 Hogan that had 2 inches on Sting and Bully Ray, who are 6'2 guys themselves. The same 6'2 guy, that was 4 inches shorter than 6'8+ Matt Morgan face to face last week (Morgan is near the same height as Kevin Nash).
Hogan at 6'2 makes ZERO sense.

Morgan is a legit 6'9" guy, he wears thick soled boots to boost him to the 7' he claims in the ring. Hogan was 6'7", now just over 6'5" and was only 4-5 inches shorter than Morgan in his big boots while Hogan had regular runners on. So even if Morgan was 6'8" barefoot, that puts Hogan at 6'5" minimum now when he stands up straight. He also has all the 6'2-3" guys like Bully and Stinger by 3 inches easily and we see it on TV every week now, so how anyone can say with a straight face that he is under 6'5", let alone 6'3-4" is beyond me.

I've been doing a lot of research and I'm totally in the dark now as to how tall Hogan is. He just about had proof of being 6'7 as a very young man, say the 1970's but people who have met him say he is actually about a 6'3 tall man. There was a bit of impact last week or the week before where he actually appeared shorter than the max 6'1 sting.
Could Hogan's most recent back surgery have chopped him down to under 6'?
Think about it, if he was 6'3 peak as what people who have met him and went to the gym with him say then could he not have lost those 3 inches over the years?
Or is he 6'3 now? how do they get 6'9 out of a 6'3 guy in early wwf?
The only conclusion I've come to is that someone needs to get him to stand up straight and measure him barefoot.
Its the only way because all of these photo's are deceptive because you don't know if the ground is uneven, what shoes they're wearing, whether or not they're standing up straight, camera angles, depths all of that stuff make pictures pretty crap evidence.
Kid. He was 6'6" at this peak. He started losing height in the 1990's (slowly) due to back/knee surgeries. He then lost MAJOR height around 2001 and then he lost even more height in 2004/2005 and again a couple of years later. This is due to MAJOR hip replacements, back surgeries, knee replacements and neck fusion and God knows what else (maybe ankle fusion too by this point). He is a shell of his former self. He's probably floating at around 6'2" and change these days. Could be shorter. I honestly have not kept up with his height in the last couple of years. All I know is he's one step away from being in a wheelchair. Hope this clears things up for you kid.

6ft 4.5 peak for hogan, half an inch shorter than lister
Okay, so, LISTER WORE PLATFORM BOOTS when he faced Hogan kid. Look at his boots. Hogan was taller than legit 6'5" men at THAT TIME. I do not have the interest, desire, energy, or time to post pics and vids. I've been on this site since 2004. Just take my word for it kid.
Danimal says on 30/Apr/13
jimmy says on 18/Apr/13
@Yaspa he definitely looks big 6'5" here ,cause he is barely shorter than 6'5.5" Ralf Moeller..
Enough with this 6'5.5" Ralf Moeller. Ralf used to be listed between 6'6" and 6'8" in his bodybuilding days (the 1980's). He was never listed at 6'5.5". He was a young man back then. Like Dolf Lundgren, he could have lost height in the last 30 years, but back then, he was minimum 6'6" and in all accounts, taller.

the former wwf exocutioner works with me he is 6-3. he said hogan was 3 inches taller than him. he also has a pic to back it up .the photo was fron 1985. so for sure hulk was 6.6, at one time.
Oh absolutely. He was close to, if not a full 6'6". Today, he would be shorter than your Executioner friend sadly.

Here is a great segment with Matt Morgan and Hulk Hogan:
Click Here
Morgan looked 6´7.5"-6´8" next to Billy Gunn, Rob Terry, Matt Bloom and now Hulk.
He for sure isn´t over 6´8".
I found it very strange that Hogan mentioned Andre there, I think Morgan has potential, but he has a long way to go to match up with Andre.
The only bigman who earned the right to get compared to Andre is Taker, Taker is the best bigman ever. Big Show is close to Andre, but I´m missing the last step, Paul is good but he isn´t the attraction that Andre was.

@Red183 According to the pics Hogan looks 2 good inches shorter than 6'5" Charles Barkley so 6'3" is about right.

So Hogan at 6´6" means
Charles Barkley who Rob has at 6´4.75", but looks more 6´5.5"-6´6" is actually 6´7"
John Tenta, measured at 198cm in japan as Sumowrestler is 6´7" instead of 6´6"flat.
Bill Fralic, listed at 6´4.5"-6´5" is also 6´6".

Morgan is at least 6'8" and has a footwear advantage over Hogan. I would say there is a solid 4" between them in this clip. Hogan is clearly around 6'4".
miko says on 26/Apr/13
I watched an episode of TNA last night, and Hogan was in multiple segments on the show, in very flat black Nike sneakers.
He went face to face with Matt Morgan and looked 4', at most 4.5 inches shorter, now Morgan is around 6'8.5, so, that put's Hulk in the 6'4 range at worst. The top of Hogans head was above Morgans eyeline either way.
He also went face to face with LEGIT 6'2 Bully Ray, and guess what he looked 2 inches taller, and he wasn't even standing straight, he also got pretty close to 6'2 Sting and was clearly taller too.
The man in good posture today is 6'4 tall or damn close. He even looked it with Troy Aikman. 6'3 or less is madness.

You are all up and down all over the place and so wrong in most every case. DDP has always been 6'4", Sid as shown on his arrest photo is still 6'7", was over 6'8" in his prime easily as he was almost the same height as the min 6'9" Taker. Jake is 6'5" and was a bit taller years ago closer to 6'6". Hogan was a legit 6'7" man who now is 6'5" after some major surgeries to his back and having lots of bone removed from his joints as well. As for his weight, if you really look at him over the years his legs were massive around the early eighties making him easily 320-330 lbs and he then was hovering around 300-310 in the later eighties, and of course after trimming down in the nineties he went well under 300 for a few years. Today he is right around 280-290,
Yes, you know your stuff! Yes Hogan claimed 330 pounds at heaviest with a big fat belly abd was generally 300-310 and today is around 280, but a few years back during Hogan Knows Best he looked more 260-270 but he'd retired then and has since come back.
Arch Stanton says on 18/Apr/13
@Robx
We know Hogan claims he was measured barefoot in his mother's wooden house at 6'7". It is possible he was near it out of bed and rounded up the measurement and was measured at 6'6.5". He certainly looked around a legit 6'6" peak. Only think is Hogan claims he gained height again and is now a bit over 6'5" which I think it's clear he isn't. But some bald Australian interviewer estimated Hogan at 6'4"-6'5", the same height as he estimated Steven Seagal I think.
Ali Baba says on 17/Apr/13
Borrowing a pic from Mamun's page it would appear Tiny Lister is in the 6'3" range now days. Maybe a little over because of his ridiculously pointy head. Click Here

I've been doing a lot of research and I'm totally in the dark now as to how tall Hogan is. He just about had proof of being 6'7 as a very young man, say the 1970's but people who have met him say he is actually about a 6'3 tall man. There was a bit of impact last week or the week before where he actually appeared shorter than the max 6'1 sting.
Could Hogan's most recent back surgery have chopped him down to under 6'?
Think about it, if he was 6'3 peak as what people who have met him and went to the gym with him say then could he not have lost those 3 inches over the years?
_____________
Post a link a of someone credible saying Hulk was 6'3" in his prime. Sting is not max 6'1" and Hulk has never looked shorter than him. I swear to God, I don't know why or how this page has deteriorated to this level of nonsense. Hogan was between 6'5" and 6'6" 300-320lbs in his prime and is 6'3"-6'4" 260-280lbs now for a fact. I would bet my life on it.

Did you watch the video? The camera zooms in on them when they're standing only inches apart and they look very close in height. Hogan was like .5" shorter and he was at a footwear disadvantage of maybe an inch.

Or is he 6'3 now? how do they get 6'9 out of a 6'3 guy in early wwf?
The only conclusion I've come to is that someone needs to get him to stand up straight and measure him barefoot.
Its the only way because all of these photo's are deceptive because you don't know if the ground is uneven, what shoes they're wearing, whether or not they're standing up straight, camera angles, depths all of that stuff make pictures pretty crap evidence.

In WCW they saw no reason to inflate his height given that stars like the 6'8" Rodman would be next to him. I am going to go to his beach shop next time I visit Florida and will hopefully get to meet him, still a massive man regardless.

Yes you are right Rob.I saw it again and it's more than just 1".1.5" but no more than that considering that Fuller has pretty long forehead.Since Fuller looked 6'2.5" in person to you and Hogan's footwear advantage i think 6'3.5" is a fair guess for a peak Hogan.He doesn't even look 3' taller than 6'1" Mark Pellegrino in the same movie.With Tommy Lister he looks more than 1' shorter.Rob do you think that Lister is a strong 6'5" guy? He has easily the longest forehead ever but in Universal Soldier he didn't look quite as tall as Ralf Moeller.

Yep, platform looks 3"...maybe 4" max? Which makes sense. They wanted Thunderlips to appear 6'11" to a Billed 5'11" Rocky Balboa. So, for Hogan to look a full foot taller than 5'9ish"Stallone, he'd need an extra 3".
jimmy is right says on 11/Apr/13
can we please stop with the ridiculous laughable "hogan 340 lbs peak" claims... if so, he would been billed 403 lbs, not 303! in late 80's he was at his biggest and usually billed 303... so his legit weight was 250-270

Awesome find. The platform doesn't appear to be giving Hogan much extra height though. Maybe 3" or so. Hogan was probably 8" taller than ~5'8.5" Stallone legit; so once again, we have a solid 6'5" for a peak Hogan. He looked 6'8" on a platform because well...he was on a platform.

Say what you what about Hogan, but at least he's consistent. Here he is in the 70s saying he's 6'7" and referring to the markings on the door...
Click Here
I still say the following about Hogan's height:
6'5.5" in his prime
6'5" in the beginning of WCW career
6'4.5" at the end of WCW/WWE return
6'4" in the mid 2000s
6'3'.5" at TNA debut
Possibly 6'4" now because of corrective surgeries
As for his weight:
~320lbs at his heaviest, ~240lbs at his lowest, and ~280lbs now.
And why Rod the Bod dwarfed Hollywood Hogan if he was 6'4"-6'5" range?
No way he is 6'4" these days.He looks barely shorter than Goldberg and Ferrigno so i doubt that he is a strong 6'2" guy these days.
miko says on 6/Apr/13
Just seen an old video of a very young Sting and Ultimate Warrior standing next to each other and Sting looked an inch taller, Warrior was 6'1.5 range, so a prime Sting was at least 6'2.
miko says on 6/Apr/13
Sting had at least 2 inches on a prime Ric Flair, and Flair in his prime was a solid 5'11.5.
The Ben says on 6/Apr/13
Angle 5'10 tops.
Sting 6'2 tops (always had and still does have a good posture, a peak of 6'2 and he doesn't look to have lost much height)
Hogan 6'4 fully stretched tops, could be as low as 6'3.
dicksock says on 6/Apr/13
Say what you what about Hogan, but at least he's consistent. Here he is in the 70s saying he's 6'7" and referring to the markings on the door...
Click Here
I still say the following about Hogan's height:
6'5.5" in his prime
6'5" in the beginning of WCW career
6'4.5" at the end of WCW/WWE return
6'4" in the mid 2000s
6'3'.5" at TNA debut
Possibly 6'4" now because of corrective surgeries
As for his weight:
~320lbs at his heaviest, ~240lbs at his lowest, and ~280lbs now.

hulk hogan was for sure a tall and big man, but 6'6" is clearly overestimated. No way he was taller than 6'5". I would say he was in the range 6'3"-6'4"(190-193cm)
Today he is around 6'1.5"-6'2" (187-188cm)
jimmy says on 4/Apr/13
I 've seen Sting in person and looked pretty close to my height.I'm 5'11.25".I 'd give him 5'11.5" at most.6'2" is out of question.

Robx ur claim about Hogan being 1.99 is horrible(especially when he was looking 7cm shorter than Rodman when he was only 41 years old).Andre the Giant with his weight couldn't stand more than 6'9"(max).
I never made a claim like that and you obviously didn't read my post properly because I wrote in it something along the lines of not being able to use anything from the 90's on for Hogans peak height so if he was 41 its the 90's so thats irrelevant to what I was saying.
I never made claims about exactly how tall people like Andre the Giant actually were either.

I concur.
Meathedz says on 31/Mar/13
Based on what I have heard from a number of sources about the taller wrestlers, including Celebheights own Ali Baba, and what I know about the Carny culture of Pro Wrestling, AND the candy land fibs that Hogan is well known for, I cannot give him ANYTHING over 6'4" prime height, and even THAT would be rolling out of bed first thing in the morning.
Hogan is like the KING of CARNIES. Master of selling everything he can to you. That is the way of his business, and Hogan made more money in it than anyone else. World class entertainer, and he is still able to make good money off his name.
I still don't believe he was ever over 6'4". How tall IS 6'4" Really? Well considering ALL the other Pro Wrestlers, and even a good lot of Basketball players, many actors are all exaggerated, and even they average man walking around who isn't famous STILL tends to exaggerate by 2", then our whole perception of what "BIG" is, is skewed.
6'4" built like Hogan was in his prime is a mountain of a man compared to normal people, AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT, BRUTHAH!!

Lol Sting 6'2".He isn't even 6'.He looks more at my height.Of course some guys who saw him in person told me that he is about 5'9"(I don't believe them though).Hogan is at most 6'2" these days(around 6'3" peak).Just look at him with 6'2" Lou Ferrigno.He is slightly shorter.Ferrigno himself looks a tad shorter than Goldberg(and at least 4 inches shorter than Ali Baba).
jimmy says on 31/Mar/13
@Baba Rodman almost always wears converse sneakers which add about .5" to barefoot height.But I am sure that that u would agree that he was at least 3 inches taller than a young Hogan.I am not so sure about Nash's shoes because i know wwe guys always wear suspicious footwear.Please tell these guys that Triple H is only 6'1" in person because they think that he is 6'2.5"(LOL taller than Goldberg!!!)
@Robby in that video Nash is closer to the camera and we can't see if the ground is even.Also i can't see Joe as a strong 6'5" guy.Maybe he is a bit under 6'5" in the evening and around 6'4.5" at night.Guys if he was at 6'9"-6'10" range shouldn't he be a foot taller than 5'10" Matthew Mcconaughey? But he isn't
Robby says on 31/Mar/13
Regardless if Nash is closer to the camera or not. Which he is closer to the camera. I am certain Nash would have a good 2" inches next to Magic.

Jimmy, with Rodman's history of wearing "interesting" wardrobe choices it's impossible to know what shoes he's wearing. Not arguing. Just throwing out a possibilty with Rodman.
Ali Baba says on 28/Mar/13
Robby I'm 6'6" flat be the end of the day. I lose 7/8 of an inch from my morning height and settle to that height by early afternoon. Probably earlier if I was to measure earlier. I have a feeling it drops off pretty quick. If I'm wrong on my estimates; cool. But from what I've seen of these guys in person (Nash, Taker, Show, Morgan, HHH, Terry) I don't feel I'm far off. Pictures are necessary for proof, of course. And I would want them for my own piece of mind. I've been watching the Austin Comic Con site for this years event and I'm not impressed with the line up. No one too interesting is scheduled at this point, although they do have several months left to get some people signed up. I am half tempted to take a picture with Ferrigno barefoot or in flip flops just to appease a certain knucklehead, but I don't think I feel like spending my money to prove someone else's ignorance.

Former NBA player Oliver Miller was measured at 6'7.5" barefoot. Was billed at 6'9" in the NBA. height with shoes. Kevin Nash was 1.5-2" taller then Miller. Disprove that evidence. was 1" shorter then 6'11" Jermaine O'Neal. was several iches taller then Magic Johnson who was billed at 6'9",but was probably 6'7"-6'7.5". I met Nash and he was close to a foot taller then me. I am 5'9.5" barefoot. No way Nash is 6'6 to 6'8" I would bet money he is 6'9"
Ali Baba you're the best chance to size up to lot of these wrestlers like Nash. You're a big dude. Are you 6'6" flat or 6'6.25 or 6'6.5"??? I do hope you continue to meet these wrestlers and be interesting to see the comparisons.
And why he is only 2.5"(max if that)than Manganiello? Maybe Joe is actually 6'7"
and Rob estimated him wrong.Maybe Rodman is not 6'6.5",as he was officially measured but 6'8" as he himself claimed.

Yes the angle makes him look at least 2 inches taller so if he was on shoes he must be around 6'7" barefoot.Again extremely tall but nowhere near 6'9" - 6'10" range.
_______
What exactly about the angle invalidates the results of the mugshot? It looks like a million other mugshots I've seen. Don't you think there's a reason everyone else in the world, including 99.9% of the posters on this site think Nash is/was at least 6'9"? I've seen plenty of guys that are 6'6"-7' and Nash looked 6'9"-6'10" to me when I saw him live at a TNA Event. I guess you think Razor Ramon was 6'2"/6'3" if Nash was 6'7"?

can someone post a pic comparing a prime hogan with the present hogan?that could show how much height he has lost
I'd be really interested to see that too, if anyone can somehow get it to be accurate.
Robx says on 27/Mar/13
From what I've seen of Hulk recently in TNA and through the years previously I think Hogan could've been about 6'4 again when he had his spine straightened a couple of years ago, he was looking pretty tall for a while there about a year ago.
Now he's just had another knee and back operation so that means he might have lost that height he gained back.
I believe he was about 6'2 and a bit when he faced The Rock in 2001 after a shocking run of knee and back surgery.
From watching tapes of his early career, standing up close with tall people like Andre the giant and big john stud, he could almost stretch himself to their heights. So that leads me to believe he was probably just a tiny bit over 6'6, maybe 6'6 1/2 and he's rounded it up to 6'7.
You can't use stuff from the 90's as his peak height, you do have to go back to the late 70's and early 80's because he'd already started having surgeries in the late 80's. By the time he wrestled ultimate warrior in 1990 he had lost some height already.
He's had a shockingly bad life of injuries and surgeries so I do think he was once almost 6'7 but not quite.
However, because of his age which contributes to height loss in most people plus his horrendous amount of back, knee, hip and even neck surgery the guy could easily have lost 5 inches in height and now stands probably just under 6'3.
I noticed his height loss first when he returned some time in wcw to wrestle macho man then it was confirmed to me when he stood face to face with the rock who I expected him to somewhat tower over however they appeared the same height.
His height loss was even more solidified when he stood face to face with Vince McMahon who Hogan was one A HEAD taller than only to look a quarter inch taller than in 2003.
RP says on 26/Mar/13
True...Rodman was measured at 6'6 3/8" barefoot as a rookie & is 6'7 1/2" in sneakers. And his playing weight was 227 lbs in the 90's. Peak Hogan 6'5 3/4" to 6'5 1/2"...mid 90's Hogan 6'4 1/2"...late 90's to 2000 Hogan 6'4"...current 59 year old Hogan 6'3".
Drummer777 says on 26/Mar/13
The camera angle is making Nash appear taller in that mug shot.....
jimmy says on 25/Mar/13
Rodman was measured 1.99 barefoot(He never looked more than 3cm than Jordan and was clearly shorter than Pippen and Phil Jackson).Jordan who is a strong 6'5" guy looks much taller than Hogan does next to Rodman.Also u have this guy(Joe M.) who Rob said he looked close 6'5".And he looks pretty taller too(With a bad posture and Dennis standing closer to the camera).
Click Here
I believe that Hulk was about 6'3.5" peak and lost an inch with his knee surgeries,so he is at Dwayne Jonson's height these days.As for Kevin Nash u have these photos with Joe M. in which Nash looks max 2.5 in taller.Also Ali Baba can confirm that he doesn't look much taller than 6'6" in person(Matt Morgan too).
P.S Dolp Ludgren looked taller next to Stallone because he was an inch taller than Hulk at his prime.
Ali Baba says on 25/Mar/13
The mugshot is inaccurate but keep reposting it, because eventually that will make it true.
dicksock says on 23/Mar/13
Jimmy: Rodman is 6'7", not 6'6" and when Hogan stood up straight and they were actually somewhat lined up, he was no more than 2" shorter. He could have possibly been as low as 6'5" in his prime, but no less. As for 6'9" being laughable; I guarantee that nobody on this site or anywhere else in the world would agree with your 6'7.5" estimate. He was 6'10" in a 2011 mugshot as a 50+ year old man.
Click Here
78" is 6'6" in case you didn't know. He is very clearly 4" above 78"...as a 50+ year old man. If he was in shoes, then he would be about 6'9"/6'9.25". If anything, my 6'9" estimate is conservative. Now that a 6'9" minimum Nash has been proven; Undertaker was about 2" shorter than than Nash.

6'4.5" for the Undertaker is a total joke. Again, I assure you that you are 100% alone in your estimate of him.

I see this is quite the hotbed for discussion on how tall some people are! I am new to this site and will share my thoughts; I have seen the prime Hulk Hogan many times as I frequented WWF events in the eighties, and I can tell you he was no less than 6'9" in his wrestling boots. Now I see here a lot of you think he was never over 6'5"-6'6", unless he had 4 inch lifts inside those boots which would make it impossible for him to run and jump he had to be at least 6'7" without his boots on. Like many I have seen countless photos of him looking anywhere from 6'7" to as low as 6'4". This simply makes photos almost useless as a reference, especially with a guy who gets hunched down a lot when doing interviews. I hope to get to see him again soon so I can judge just how tall he still is, a massive man regardless who has lost some significant height for sure.
Stone says on 16/Mar/13

Ok I am just waiting for the whole it's still real to me! Ronster people are entitled to their opinion. If you believe Hogan was 6'7" that's ok. Most people believe Hogan was from 6'5.5" to 6'6". Hogan would be 6'7" in boots for sure. Don't get all worked up if they disagree with you. You believe what you believe move on. Too much anger. We do have the right to express our opinions whether they agreed or disagreed with you. Less anger more push-ups.
Ronster says on 9/Mar/13
This goes out to all the people on here who spend so much of their time trying to convince the world, and mostly themselves of biased and unproven conjecture to try and in some warped minded way attack celebrities heights for god knows what reasons. I am one of a very few who ever have come on this site to back up and argue the truth, and after some time already knowing it is pretty much pointless when the audience here is not even willing to listen to another opinion unloess it matches theirs let alone the truth about the topic i am finally ready to just let it be and like with everything else in my life take the high road. So many of you are included in the audience i am referring to, but i will just name the main few i am saying this to; Ali Baba, Vegas, Dicksock, Danimal, Stone, and Red. Hulk Hogan was every bit 6'7" or more in his twenties and even into his thirties and nothing points to or proves anything less no matter how many camera tilted, distance altering, or countless ones where he is in his normal slouched or hunched posture when doing interviews especially you try and post or use. All the really intelligent people in the world can see right through all of that, and even though none of us really know anyone on here, it does demonstrate that there is something wrong with or lacking in your own self, life, or character to be that hell bent on trying to estimate and lower people's heights to within a quarter inch from mere pictures. Hogan is 6'5" or more today also, and for the record - anyone who tries to say otherwise and especially call him a liar does not have the right to even have a web site or comment on one using his name. Lastly, carry on with your COMPLETLEY POINTLESS PERSUIT, but do not insult Hogan's or anyone else's intelligence by trying to say any of you bashers are fans of his. You are all the same jealous or envious types that say he hogs the limelight, or holds other wrestlers back, or that he should just retire. I hope one day you get enough light in your lives, or pride that you stop belitteling others to try and fell better about yourselves. Peace, i am outta here!

The Stern interview confirmed what I've said for a LONG TIME. Hulk Hogan was 340lbs peak.
he was also 6'8 1/16" tall in the late 1970s.
Ali Baba says on 28/Feb/13
Jike, whether or not they are wearing shoes when their picture is taken depends on the agency where they're arrested. Some take the shoes as soon as they arrive and others do it after pictures and fingerprints are taken. If the person has the ability to bond out immediately they may not have to give up their property/shoes/clothing at all. They'll simply be booked into the jail, pay the bond and be booked out. The booking process itself is merely an administrative process where the person is registered into the jail poplulation. If they are going to be released right away there is no reason to take property after a proper search is done for safety.
jike says on 27/Feb/13
dicksock yeah your prob right, his legs arent tinny. they just arent as big in proportions to the rest of his body ;) whats why i think he was 280 lbs tops.
Im pretty sure all arrests includes footwear ;) swagger 6'5 barefoot and 6'6 in shoes is right on imo
Ali Baba says on 24/Feb/13
Also, I thought it was interesting that last night they were still giving Swagger a push going into Wrestlemania after his arrest. I'm guessing they won't let him win as a punishment. I they ever planned on letting him win at all, that is.
Ali Baba says on 24/Feb/13
dicksock says on 22/Feb/13
The tilt of his head doesn't really make it harder to see his height. How one tilts their head is virtually irrelevant to their height. If he straightened his head out, the top of his head would still come up to the same point.
--------------------------
Try this: tilt your year back and place your hand on top of the forward part I you head. No, holding your hand still, lower your head to its natural position. You can't just look in a mirror and see it because your vantage point changes with the movement of your head.

Nice find, looks close in height to Sid Eudy in his 2006 mugshot
With his head raised as much as it is, it will give the impression from the front that he is taller than he really is. You have to try to figure what his actual height is by guessing how much of a difference the illusion is adding. If you were to look at him from the side you would see that he's not that tall since the pivot point for his head is closer to the rear of the skull. My guess is he's gaining at least two CMs, and maybe close to 4. With the beard I'm guessing that's a recent arrest??

The tilt of his head doesn't really make it harder to see his height. How one tilts their head is virtually irrelevant to their height. If he straightened his head out, the top of his head would still come up to the same point. Try doing it in front of a mirror.
As for the arrest itself, Swagger was busted for speeding, charged with a DUI, and the cops found marijuana is his car. Supposedly he was high on pot, not drunk. This happened just a couple of days ago.

Swagger is 6'5/6'5.25. Very close in height to Wade Barrett who himself is a solid 6'5.25/6'5.5 guy.
Swagger and Barrett are probably the same or similar height as Hogan was in his prime.

I think you´re right with the impression that a raised head gives. The real height depends on the headprofile of the person and where the pivot point is. Some gain a little height if they raise the chin up, others don´t or lose a bit.
I think the real height someone measures should be the tallest position he can reach with unrestricted headposition.
I think Swagger would measure 6´5.5" there.
I´m pretty sure Sid wasn´t in footwear for his mugshot measuring 6´6" flat in 2006, but I´m not so sure about Swaggers footwear situation here.

A big problem with referring to "Peak" Hogan is if we're referring to peak size, or peak popularity.
The height of Hulkamania wasn't Hogan's top weight (and possibly not his top height.) If you compare Dibiase/ Hogan 1979 to Dibiase/ Hogan 1989, you'll notice the weight difference is significantly greater in the earlier bout.
I believe that Hogan could've weighed at his absolute heaviest, 310-320 lbs. His arms were massive, his legs were massive, and he was retaining a ton of waterweight due to steroid usage.
At his lowest weight, I'd put Hogan at about 250. If you watch WrestleMania 9, he looks roughly the same weight as Dibiase (Billed 260, probably a legit 245 for most of his career.)
Highest 330-340 pounds (1978-1981). Mid 80's he was 305-310 pounds. Lowest 230 pounds (1993-1994).

Hulk Hogan on Howard Stern. He reveals his current weight (290 pounds) and what he used to weigh when he was juicing (340, 310 and 320 pounds). Forward it to around 7 minutes and beyond: Click Here

As you can see, it is Jack Swagger's mugshot and he appears to be just an inch under 2 meters (6'5.75"). I am curious if this is his barefoot height or his height in shoes. Again, I know this isn't related to Hogan, but I figured this was as good of place as any to post this.
