Hogan was never 6'7. His peak height was 6'4-6'5. Even with his multiple surgeries, he wouldn't have lost 5 inches. Hogan lost 2 and a half inches and he stands 6'2 today.
sidewalk says on 2/Sep/10
Hogan is shorter than Hall at least in WCW days. I don't give Hogan more than 6'5.5 peak. No less than 6'5 peak, Hogan did look slightly taller than a flat 6'5 to me. Honky Tonk Man said Hogan was 6'5. I don't think Dynamite is right but it adds credibility to less than 6'6 claims b/c he has non-kayfabe book Sal says on 2/Sep/10
dg, you are absolutely wrong. For one thing, the Hulkster always shouches and stuff when he's talking to Mene Gene. The other thing is that Barkley has always lied about him being 6'4 3/4". He is easily 6'6". Even after shrinking, he towers almost 4" over D wade. The Hulkster looks easily 6'8" next to Mene Gene when he stands straight. After looking at all the important photos like Hogan with 6'4" Buster Douglas, Hogan Towering over Mene Gene, a Shrunken Hogan being almost as tall as Magic Johnson, a Shrunken Hogan only being about 6 or 7" shorter than 7'1" Bill Wennington, etc, it's easy to confirm that him as Terry Bolder was at least 6'7".

Just reading Bret Harts book and says hogan was 6'9.... Dynamite kid in his book implies that Hogan is was 6'4.
So many conflicting heights..
6'6ish peak and 6'3ish now. dg says on 30/Aug/10
Charles Barkley was no taller than 6'6" peak and towered Mean Gene like Hogan never did. Click Here
Even an early 80's Hulk never looked that tall next to Gene. If Barkley was indeed 6'6"(as he is known to understate around to 6'4.75"), Hogan's peak looks more around the 6'5.25"-6'5.5" range. A 6'6" Barkley is more believeable than a 6'6" Hogan. Hogan looks around 6'3.5" today. Daman says on 29/Aug/10
Anyone noticed how much shorter he was when he was with Rodman coming out back in the WCW Nitro? If Rodman is 6'6 at the time, Hogan was max 6'4. Is Hogan taller than Scott Hall? Viper says on 26/Aug/10

If anything, the difference between Aikman and Hogan looks like .5" and that is only because of Hogan's posture. Hogan was just above 6'5" in his prime and is just below 6'4" now. I'd say he's lost about 1.5" or maybe 2" MAX. He is not below 6'3.5" and he was never above 6'5.5". Two inches is a lot to lose by your mid 50s. I can't wait for the first IDIOT to say that Hogan is 6'1.5". It's bound to happen. Big Show says on 24/Aug/10
Danimal says on 22/Aug/10
So, you do believe that he could have been close to 6'6" in his younger days? What do you believe his absolute current height could be? I say he's looking MAX 6'2" next to Aikman today...
Yes I do believe Hogan could've been close to 6'6" in his prime. I personally think he's closer to 6'5" as he is to 6'6" though, but nonetheless close to 6'6". He might look 6'2" on some occassions, but I doubt he really lost anywhere near 4 inches. If he really lost that amount of height he would've been in a wheelchair or at the very least walking with a cane on a permanent basis. anonymous says on 23/Aug/10

He hasnt been 6'3.5 in YEARS. 6'3.5-6'4 Troy Aikman is 2 inches taller.
Hogan is 6'2 MAX.
Aikman was 1" taller than Hogan at the most. I've watched the commercial on youtube. After pausing and looking closely, it's clear that the difference in height is misleading due to their extremely different builds. A 4" height loss for Hogan is laughable. He has lost 2" max. I've never seen ANY evidence that Hogan is only 6'2". I'd sooner believe the 6'9.75" "measurment" for Andre the Giant in his prime then a 6'2" Hogan. If Hogan is "6'2 max" then how tall is Abyss? Click Here I got news for you: Abyss is HUGE and is NOT under 6'5". I've seen the guy live and I pegged him at like 6'6"-6'7". I'm pretty sure he isn't, but he gives off that vibe when you're close to him. Danimal says on 22/Aug/10

Davidson's cowboy boots are much thicker than Hogans as we don't see the soles and Davidson's are the thickest soled cowboy boots I've ever seen.
Also, Hogan has probably been awake all day while Davidson probably just woke up in that photo.
Davidson just woke up?! Please, for the love of god, stop the nonsense! Ben Davidson was 6'8 and Hulk Hogan was just under 6'6". God, I can't stand people that just won't use logic. Was Hogan taller than John Tenta? No. Was Hogan more than .5" taller than Jake Roberts? NO!!! He's not, nor has he ever been above 6'6"! He was probably never above 6'5.5".
I am willing to admit that I know very little about these basketball players as I don't watch the sport. But Scottie Pipen is listed at 6'8" by the NBA's website. Click Here
Dennis Rodman is listed at 6'7" on the same site. Click Here
Although, I was reading on some forum that Kobe Bryant has claimed his wife measured him at 6'4.75" and he is listed at 6'6". Magic Johnson is another strange case. At times he can look only 6'6.5", other times he looks just about 6'9". Despite all of that, if I had to go with my gut feeling, I would say Rodman is about 6'7" and Pippen is about 6'8"; although both of those may be round ups. Clay says on 22/Aug/10

Buster Douglas would literally be considered a giant in countries like Japan.
At 50+ with height loss, he's probably about 6'3 1/4" and 340lbs now and he often towers like 8 inches or even 14 or 16" over people in photo ops.
14 to 16". He doesn't have a full head on any of those guys, so how big do you think his head was? 20 inches???
Hogan was never 6'7" or 6'8". He has been billed at 6'6" early in his career.

Davidson is easily an inch taller than Hogan, despite not even standing straight. And don't claim that's because of his cowboy boots, because Hogan is wearing them as well. And Hogan is standing as stiff as a board there (with his legs close next to each other). If Davidson would've assumed that type of posture he would've had Hogan by 2 inches at least.
Hogan was a big guy (he still is) no one argues that, but he just wasn't 6'7" or 6'8". 6'6" is already pushing it.
So, you do believe that he could have been close to 6'6" in his younger days? What do you believe his absolute current height could be? I say he's looking MAX 6'2" next to Aikman today... Danimal says on 22/Aug/10

Viper is out of his mind. In his false reality for Hogan and Pippen's height to make sense, Magic Johnson is 6'4 1/2" when he was listed at 6'9" for most of his career. Sal says on 21/Aug/10
It doesn't really matter what height Pippen was when he was drafted or when he was in college. Pippen was 6'1" Freshman year, 6'7" in his last year of college, and 6'7 1/2" when drafted, but he was STILL GROWING in the NBA.
It only matters what height he was when Rodman was on the BULLS. Pippen was easily 6'9"+ at that time

Pippen was only 6'1" in his freshmen year in college, and he was growing every year in college and even a little in the NBA. He's easily 6'9" because he towers almost 3" above 6'9" listed Magic Johnson. There is not one explaination anyone has come up with about Pippen towering over 6'9" listed Magic Johnson. To claim that Pippen is 6'7" or 6'7 1/2", you'd have to downgrade Magic Johnson to 6'4 1/2". You'd have to be out of your mind to say that the NBA would list a 6'4 1/2" guy at 6'9".

Pippen TOWERS over 6'9" LISTED Magic Johnson and 6'8" Listed Chris Mullin.
Even 7'0 1/2" Patric Ewing doesn't have him by that much. I'd believe Pippen @ 6'10" before 6'7".

Have you see Buster Douglas in photos with normal sized people?
You would have to downgrade everyone whose ever fought Buster Douglas by like 3" for your crazy fantasy about Hogan being 6'5" at his peak to make sense.
Even after losing about 1 inch in height from peak, Hogan still TOWERED over Douglas.
Mike Tyson would have to be 5'7" if you downgrade Buster Douglas in order to Downgrade Hogan.
Buster Douglas would literally be considered a giant in countries like Japan.

There isn't one pic of Hogan looking 6'7" in regular footwear. At his peak that would put him eye to eye with Sid. No way! Hogan's frame was never that long. A 6'7" Hogan in the 70's and 80's would have made Big John Studd 6'8.5" which he was not. Sal says on 17/Aug/10
It's pretty hard to believe that he was just 6'5" or even 6'6" even at peak height. I mean even with his thin soled yelow boots, Hogan literally TOWERED over guys like Ali and Buster Douglas who had footwear advantages and whose height is known exactly.

Something is up with Hogan's height, during the show Hulk and David hugged, and Hogan was visibly taller than the 6' 4" Hasslehoff despite the fact Hogan was bent at the waist.

I doubt Hogan's recent back surgery restored any of his height. They only removed bone growths that had come loose from his spine. So it's not like they surgically repaired his back. His posture might've become better though, because of lesser back pain.

I think that Hogans boots explain the 6'8 listings. Back in the late 70's, early to mid 80's, before the information age. Pro wreastling was in the shadows, it was not like the other sports, it was allowed to exist within the framework of its own hype. That is why Hogan became so famous, and rich. He brought it out into the mainstream. Back in the day numerous times Hogan would stand next to legit 6'8 people and be about the same height with his giant boots on. And that is why he got the 6'8, it was like, why not, who is really going to know. Nowadays with the internet a persons height can be pinpointed right away. Hogan was solid 6'5.5 but not more, making him about 6'8, give or take with the boots on. RP says on 14/Aug/10
The NFL list players true barefoot heights. That is why they are always listed an inch or two shorter in the NFL as what they were in college. FYI...Troy Aikman measured 6'4" even "barefoot" at the 1989 NFL Scouting combine. That is known documented fact. Also, Bill Goldberg measured 6'2.75" at the NFL scouting combine. As for Hogan...at his peak he was 6'5" barefoot and 6'6.5" in cowboy boots and wrestling boots. Now, beside Aikman he appears to be in the low 6'3's" and about 245-250 pounds. anonymous says on 13/Aug/10

I'd believe that Rodman's 6'10" before I'd believe that he's 6'6".
Just because somebody like Shaq, Bill Walton, Garnett, etc lie about being shorter than they are doesn't make it fact. A lot of tall guys just want to be a "really tall guy" instead of a giant or a freak and that's why they downgrade their height. 5'10" Cindy Crawford weearing high heels next to Rodman barefeet.

Hope I'm not repeating this comment since I'm in late, but granted, Hogan's surgeries may have shortened him, but I remember how high the soles of his boots were. Very rarely did you see him without em. Now that everyone gets a closer look at him, he appears shorter. Think of pro football players, weight and height are usually listed a bit higher. Hogan was still the man though. RisingForce says on 10/Aug/10
I agree Danimal that he's not over 6'3" today, but I don't think he's under it either. I think he was about 6'5.5" at his peak. Sal says on 10/Aug/10
Rodman was listed as short as 6'7" and as tall as 6'10". Most of his career he was listed at 6'8". I'd guess that Rodman thinks he's 6'6", but that's because he doesn't measure right out of bed but later. Rodman's probably 6'6" near bedtime and 6'6 3/4" to 6'7" when he wakes up. Viper says on 10/Aug/10
Aikman is at least 6'3.5 bare minimum Id say. Hes closer to the camera but hes got some height on Hogan. Thats blatantly obvious. Danimal says on 10/Aug/10
Viper says on 9/Aug/10
Rodman is not 6'7. He was listed at 6'6 so he cant be any taller than 6'6.5
???? That's not logical Viper. BB players have been known to lower or raise their heights (Barkley for example claims 6'4" and he's really at least 6'6"). miko says on 10/Aug/10

NBA listing are not always accurate. Jordan is not 6'6 as was claimed. Pippen was what(?) 6'7-8 and he was noticbly taller then Jordan. Rodman was not 6'8 I don't recall him being as tall as Pippen. Tallest I'd give Rodman is 6'7. Alex2 says on 9/Aug/10

See, the videos of Hogan and Rodman posted below are proof he was still a solid 6'7" tall in his early forties. Rodman you morons is 6'8" not 6'6", where on earth did you ever get that info? He was listed by college and NBA never any less than 6'8", and in some cases was listed as 6'9" tall. Hogan still could stand 6'5" at least if he could ever straighten up and not bend his legs all the time. Anonymous says on 7/Aug/10

Hogan, whether is was Terry Boulder, or whatever his character was, was never over a flat 6'6" barefoot. His largest arm measurement was around 22". As for his highest weight (well into his 330's for sure)...
Hogan maintained his peak height up until 1990 and then began to lose height at a slow rate for the next decade. Into the new millenium, Hogan began to lose significant height with each and every new surgery (neck, back, hips, knees).
He's a wreck today and imo, is lucky if he can hit 6'2" first thing in the morning.

Has anyone seen the commercials with The Hulkster and NFL great Troy Aikman? Troy was listed at 6-4 during his playing years, which probably means that he is a little shorter. In the commercial, the Hulkster is AT LEAST two inches shorter than Troy. 6-2 may be a real possibility. By the way, I am old enough to remember when the Hulkster started wrestling, (late 70's) and he was always billed as 7 foot. The same thing when he was in the Rocky movie. Danimal says on 5/Aug/10

Rampage, why do you think EVERYONE on this site is taller than they actually are? Do you get paid to be wrong all the time? Sal says on 3/Aug/10
I think even the people who say that Hulk Hogan was never 6'7" are right.
Hulk Hogan was NEVER 6'7"(maybe 6'6" or 6'5 3/4"), but Terry Bolea sure was 6'7".
Even Terry Boulder(his first wrestling character)was 6'7" 330lbs with 24 1/2" circumference arms. I think the problem a lot of people run into is that they ONLY LOOK at Hulk Hogan and say he never had 24 1/2" arms, he was never 6'7", etc. If you want to see the 24 1/2" guns, the 6'7" 330lbs Building with hair, you have to look at Terry Bolea or Terry Boulder not Hulk Hogan.
Most of the bodybuilders who look like they have bigger arms than Hogan have MUCH shorter arms so it's an illusion. Lou Ferrigno was close to Hogan's height and his arms were more shredded, but still 1/2" less than Terry Boulder's arms.

The HULKSTER WAS 6'7" 330lbs. ONLY PHOTOS where the HULKSTER has a hairy chest are proof of anything because at his PEAK height, the Hulkster still had a hairy chest. Here's 100% proof that the HULKSTER DID INDEED have 24 1/2" arms. Other guys with 24 1/2" arms look like they have bigger arms because Hulk has VERY VERY LONG ARMS becuase he's 6'7" tall at his peak.

Rob, not sure if you're paying attention to all the new evidence to support an increased height loss in Hogan since his latest hip surgery (him next to Troy Aikman and Rodman), but he's looking to be MAX 6'2" today. I think it's time for a downgrade to nothing over 6'3" for him. Your 6'3.5" is just too tall for present day Hogan and 99% of the people on here would agree with that. Whether he is 6'1", or 6'3", we all agree he is no longer 6'3.5" and hasn't been for years. Danimal says on 2/Aug/10

Hogan could reportedly lift 550 in the bench press at peak. That's incredibly strong if true.
He did 4 plates for reps (405 pounds). He was a strong mofo in the late 70's and all throughout the 1990's. A true 300 pounder. Viper says on 2/Aug/10

What I don't get about guys who lift in excess of 300 pounds how they get a grip on the bar. I have very strong biceps but I can't lift my potential because I find it too much strain on my forearms/wrists. I have a 150 on my barbell for doing rep pull ups with but anything more is difficult because you can't put more strain on your finger trying to lock around it, even with gloves on.

Only thing i'm trying to prove is height loss for Hogan!!!
When in '98 he was about 2" taller than Bill( somewhere between 6'2" and 6'2.5") and nowadays he can get by, although just, as a 6'3" man, he definently was 6'5" in his prime!!! It's save to assume that Hogan had lost about an inch of height by that time(98).
If i can upload my medical stats i can show u how rappidly a body can shrink. I myself jused to be 6'3.5"( measured when i was 19 years old). Today when standing fully erect maybe i can still scrape 6'3", but just and i'm not a wrestler. The last i was measured i was barely 6'2.25"(curved back and bent knees, can't straighten them anymore)). So i lost a good inch and i'm only 33 years old. I shrank because of the work i do(heavy lifting and stuff) and because i've got cartilage damage in my knees and back. So if i keep going in this rade its an even bet that i will have lost 2" by the time i'm 57 years old, so why not Hogan. JT says on 21/Jul/10

Funny thing is , Hogan in '98 is about 1.5" to 2" taller than Goldberg in there championship match. Also his body is overall bigger than Bill's.
He WAS a very different man in 1998. In fact, Hogan of 2000 (his last year in WCW) was a far different man than the one who re-entered wrestling in 2002 (WWE). His neck was shorter (neck fusion surgery). His back was more curved and compressed). His knees were more buckled (knee replacements) and I'm not sure if he had undergone his first hip surgery yet.. I know that he's had 2 full hip surgeries since... Anyways, by 2000 Hogan was still able to pass off as a something slightly resembling his old self, but by 2002 and since he is not the same man.
2010 Hogan is probably close to 5" shorter than his younger self. It's sad, but it's true. Vegas says on 21/Jul/10

If this is present day Hulk Hogan you need to relist him.

Where do you get 6'5 for Jesse, when he himself has one on record and claimed 6'4!?
Jesse was a big man, and even if he wasn't a full 6'4 I believe he was close to it. Nowadays he looks a solid 6'3.
Lesnar about 6'3? Yea, I can buy that, he looks about 6'3.
But Orton isn't 6'5... he claims 6'4 so again you go and make stuff up, even contrary to what the wrestlers have said themselves. Your entire argument is moot. Ronster says on 10/Jul/10
Here is a question i want one of you usual basher posters to find an intelligent argument for. Jessie Ventura is never questioned to be a legit 6'4-6'5 inch man in his wrestling and navy seal days, so how did Hogan in his wrestling boots with at least a one inch disadvantage to Ventura's cowboy boots on the body shop always somehow come out a minumum 2-3 inches taller than Jessie????? Hogan was always a legit 6'7" man and is still around 6'5" if he cares to stand up straight. And also, Lesner is a shade under 6'3" minimum and Orton is 6'5". These forums are used only to try and belittle large men, it's a joke. Andre was well over 7' tall as well, anyone with a brain can see from about 1984 on he always stood hunched with his knees bent considerably and still looked every bit 7' tall like that. aarod says on 6/Jul/10
go to Hillbillyjim.com, and look at gallery 2, picture no. 8.

He still looks like a solid 6'3.5" on TNA. By the way Hulk Hogan was 1.5" taller than 6'2" Brock Lesnar.
He was not only .5" shorter than max 6'4" Troy Aikman and btw, he stood next to Brock Lesnar 7-8 years ago and had MAX 1" on him back then. He has since lost more height (2 complete hip replacements and God knows what else to his curving spine and knees). Viper says on 4/Jul/10
Brock is under 6'2 Clay says on 4/Jul/10
Lesnar is 6'2.5. Superman X says on 4/Jul/10

I'd say these are Hogan's ranges for his peak/current height:
Peak - Between - 6"4.75 and 6"5.75
Today - Between - 6"3 and 6"4
50% of his height loss is posture related. He was barely shorter than 6"5 Abyss in the ring last week. Richard says on 28/Jun/10
that's not hogan it was a jokey impersonator. XistenZ says on 28/Jun/10
Click Here look at 2:16. If Randy is 6'4", Hogan looks 6'1" :S aarod says on 26/Jun/10
doood, completely off topic, watch this youtube clip of road warrior animal pressing hogan up. he cant quite get the grip right and you can tell hogan is wincing in pain from the severe ball grabbing...hilarious!

Danimal you are an IDIOT, Beefcake lives in tampabay. celebrities in tampa bay are well known when they are bar flys, its not a huge stretch to bump into them several times over the course of many, many years. my best friend runs several strip clubs in tampa and beefcake is in and out of them all the time. Move to tampa, come hang out with me a few times, and then see if you think i am a liar. you will run into celebrities left and right, from the extreme such as hulk hogan, to the obscure, such as UFC fighter Royce Gracie, who frequently trains at his family sponsered MMA training facility, Gracie Tampa. Tampa bay especially, is a breeding ground for pro wrestlers, pro football players, MMA fighters, and the like.
I'm from Tampa too, and though I've never met any of the celebs, wish I could. Must be interesting being friends with Joe Redman though Vegas says on 26/Jun/10

hogan has always been 6'4 and wore 3 inch lifts as part of his boots. it was a gimmick for making him look taller and more menacing. the same can be said for big john studd only he started out at 6'7 back in the 70's and 80's it was a common thing to make them look bigger with so few really tall wrestlers back then. now its commonplace to see taller wrestlers.
3 inch lifts? Honestly do you even know how big that is. Where the hell would Hogan hide those kind of lifts in boots like this.

Why even bother respond to ignorant and naive kids Big Show? What's frustrating is that most kids on here were too young to even understand that Hogan was billed at 6'8" throughout his WWF career and only got branded at 6'7" when entering the WCW, at which point I believe he was a full inch shorter than he had been in the 80's anyways. miko says on 25/Jun/10
JT, we all know what Andre had on his feet in the late 70's though, don't we? JT says on 25/Jun/10

Anonymous, I'd love to see that pic or video where Andre looks 6 inches taller than Hogan "when standing straight and with good posture." I'll concede a late 1970s Andre in cowboy boots did have around 6 inches on Hogan in flip-flops.... aarod says on 25/Jun/10
IF hogan wore lifts, they were no more than an inch or so. he wasn't athletic enough to deal with jacked up lifts aarod says on 24/Jun/10

i thought it was interesting, on monday night wade barrett (wwe listed @ 6'5) was clearly taller next to vince than hogan was at his peak even in cowboys, barrett wears flatish wrestling boots too, looks every bit a legit 6'5 on tv Anonymous says on 24/Jun/10
are you joking me? Hogan in 3 inch lifts, good do yuo know how much that is? it's 8 cm, no way! how about Hogan vs Zeus (tiny Lister feud) Tiny Lister a legit 6'5 in thicker boots against hogan with 0,5 inch boots..
Hogan peak 6'5.25 = 196 cm (barefoot, without LIFTS, COWBOOY BOOTS AND STANDING ON BOXES..
as for Andre he could look 6 inches taller than Hogan when standing straight and with good posture..
Hogan 6'5.25
Andre 6'11.25 Big Show says on 22/Jun/10

Here's a pic of a women's shoe with a 3 inch heel. It kinda gives you the idea how his boots would have to look like (in shape) if he wore 3 inch lifts.

Peak height Hogan looked 6'7" in cowboy boots I think (his billed height). I'd estimate he was a strong 6'5" barefoot in his prime, 197cm approx. Today, looking a good 6'3 in my view.
I could not have said it any better. Vegas says on 19/Jun/10
what are you trying to say danimal, magic is under 6'6?? JT says on 19/Jun/10
Magic had a solid 2 inches on Stern Click Here or about as much as 6'7" Sid had over Hogan.... Danimal says on 18/Jun/10
Frank says on 18/Jun/10
Well i have to give Magic atleast 6ft 7 he was shorter than Larry Bird who was also listed @ 6ft9
Magic barely had 1" on Howard Stern. Honestly, Joey Ramone had more height over Howard Stern than Magic Johnson did. Danimal says on 18/Jun/10

ive met brutus in person several times, as he is from tampa and so am I, he hangs out in bars ALOT. he is 2" taller than me all day and i am 6'2". real simple.
Oh my God, are you such a liar. When you are called out on your BS lies time and time again by multiple posters, you then resort to saying how you not only met a wrestler, but met them MANY TIMES. You should be banned for such outright and PATHETIC lies. You're desperate. So, how long again did it take your poor mother to recover from her back surgery where she lost how many inches??? LIAR. Richard says on 18/Jun/10
Interesting, look how much taller Hogan is here compared to Lesnar.
Click Here
4:34 looks like more than an inch, maybe 1,5 so if Lesnar is 6'3 that would put Hulk at 6'4,5
Maybe he wore lifts becauser he sure looked shorter compared to Lesnar in their one on one match. Clay says on 18/Jun/10
I listened to the interview, he said ''Ok fine im 6'11 '', in an obvious tongue-in-cheek tone. For one time he said 6'11, how many times has he claimed 7'1? And yet you get ONE low claim out there and people at this site jump all over it. Frank says on 18/Jun/10
Well i have to give Magic atleast 6ft 7 he was shorter than Larry Bird who was also listed @ 6ft9 |
