Donīt even try to compare your graham pic with the pics I posted, the pictures I posted ARE similar to MANY posted here as proof including you...so donīt go there.
You have some matches and promos between hogan and beefcake on youtube, check them out.
Hoganīs body is a mess, but even after seeing the xray of his back and knowing of his neck/knee surgeries you still donīt believe he lost height so whatīs the point...

Starting to finally recognize that Vegas is the last person I should be having an objective and unbiased conversation with about wrestling, or wrestler's heights. Unlike JT (who is a lawyer by profession and is on this site most likely for fun), we have Vegas, who is an EXTREME wrestling fan (like Big Show) and takes his wrestling VERY seriously and religiously and like any EXTREME fan, they will defend their favorites and BASH and BELITTLE the guys they don't like. There is very little objectivity in your posts and you take this way too seriously, seeing this isn't just a hobby for you, but most likely an obsession, seeing how a MAN of YOUR AGE still travels all over to meet wrestlers, follow the stats and is vocal about his opinions I'm sure if asked.
From this point forward, I will no longer engage in a dispute with Vegas concerning wrestlers heights. I already know you dislike Andre, Hogan, Piper and others and it's reflected in your posts. Unlike yourself, I could care less about wrestling these days. I'm in my early 30's and don't take this ANYWHERE near as serious as you do. I don't take if Hogan is 6'1" or 6'5" today. I don't care if Andre was 6'9" or 7'2", or if Piper was 5'9" or 6'3". I am on her for fun and have no personal alliance with any of these men like you do. NO PREFERENCE....JUST KILLING TIME when I'm bored.

All you guys need to look at to compare his height loss to, is his side by side with KNOWN guys of the 70's and 80's. He TOWERED Vince in ALL shots. He was inches taller than Ed Leslie. He was taller than Hibilly Jim and is 2" shorter than him today. WHY the hell do you not care about that Vegas???? Does that mean nothing to you??? Go to Hibilly's site and look at BOTH pics of him and Hogan from 1985 and 1989 where Hogan was taller than him and then look at how Hibilly has 2" on Hogan as of 2004 (PRE-Hip Surgeries). Then we see how he TOWERED over Vince McMahon and was barely taller than the man in 2003 and 2005. We see how he had about 4" on Ed Leslie and is barely taller than him today....
Of course, you're the guy that said Ed Leslie wasn't done growing yet int he late 70's. You;re a BIASED TROLL Vegas. You want evidence of his height loss. It's THERE!!!! Danimal says on 3/Nov/09

Tuga,
I was just adding some humour to the page, for VEGAS'S purpose.
Hogan was 6'6" up until 1989/beginning of 1990 and is a 6'3" man today. There are just WAY TOO MANY before and after comparisons with him and other people of known height: (Vince McMahon, Hilbilly Jim, Antonio Inoki, Big Show, Brutus Beefcake, etc....) Daniel_Sweden says on 2/Nov/09
Hogan was every bit of a 6'5.5 man at his peak right out of the bed..
To many pictures, matches and interviews shows a a legit 6'5.5 hogan...Hogan was taller than Hillbilly Jim (peak 6'5 ) Lou Ferrigno (6'4.5 ) if Hogan was 6'4 at his peak then Muhammed ali was 6'1, undertaker 6'6.25, just a simple thing just compare hogan/vince back in 1985 and today..
and by the way i'm still sticking and holding that Andre the Giant was 7'0 at his peak..Big John Studd was taller and has much bigger head and there fore he looks to be at the same height..Studd peak 6'6.5.. tuga says on 2/Nov/09
Vegas says on 2/Nov/09
tuga; i see your photo and raise you this, if that photo was 2008 instead of 1988 no doubt it would be posted here on numerous occasions to prove hogans 4 inch height loss Click Here
Vegas, I donīt believe he lost 4 inches, in my opinion looking at some of the evidence I would say a 2 inches loss.
Iīll ask you this, so you think hoganīs body is in good shape? miko says on 2/Nov/09
Ok then, lets say that Hogan was 6"4 at his peak. This would mean that these wrestlers at there peaks were:
Big Show: 6"10.5
Andre the Giant: 6"9
Kevin Nash: 6"7.5
Undertaker 6"6
Kane: 6"6
Sid Eudy: 6"5.5
Vince McMahon: 5"11.5 Vegas says on 2/Nov/09

Danimal is right. 6'5.5"-6'6" at peak and nothing over 6'3" today. Danimal says on 1/Nov/09
Vegas,
John Laroquette was said to have been somewhere between 6'4" and 6'6" by the director of Night Court. LOGIC would imply he was 6'5" and considering Harry Anderson was a LEGIT 6'4" guy and John Laroquette had him by 1" would imply that John was 6'5". Lou Ferrigno was slightly over 6'4" imo in his younger days and has lost 1" since then due to age. HOGAN is another case altogether.
Hogan has lost MAXIMUM .5" in the last 30 years, having gone from a PEAK of 6'4.5" to slightly under 6'4". You were right ALL ALONG. Vegas says on 1/Nov/09
ferrigno isn't looking that tall with 5'11 tops sean mooney, once again he is looking sub 6'4 like in nightcourt, i don't think ferrigno has lost any height, in fact alot of these supposed height losses in early 40s are getting exposed badly (all coming from same guy to start with) he looks the same height in the 80s and 90s as today on film, lou is looking about duggans height (whom i have met and got photos with) Click Here Vegas says on 31/Oct/09

Gramps says on 31/Oct/09
Hogan was never more than 6'6" and may not have quite reached that height in his twenties. At the start of his career, Hogan was billed as 6'6", meaning he could not have actually been taller than his wrestling "billed" height. Early career photos certainly support an honest six and a half foot guy, but never more than that. I suspect he struggles today to reach 6'2.5" after all his injuries, surgeries, and advancing age.
I FULLY agree with this, but then you have guys like Vegas, who wants people to believe that Hogan was more like 6'4.5" in his youth and is 6'3.5" today. The reality is, he was a weak 6'6" guy in his 20's and a good part of his 30's and today is struggling with 6'3". His height loss is evident next to guys like Vince McMahon (someone he used to tower), Hilbilly Jim (who HE used to edge out by an inch, but as of 2004 has edged HIM out by 2"...pics are for all to see on HBJ's website), Antonio Inoki, who he used to TOWER over in the early 80's and no longer does today from recent pics.

luger certainly wasn't 6 inches taller than 5'10ish british bulldog Electric says on 11/Oct/09
Danimal,
To be honest, I disagree with shock on this one. I mean, I don't think Lex is any shorter than an even 6'3", but I think he's closer to 6'3" than 6'4". Maybe 6'3.25" max. Shock says on 11/Oct/09
It's also safe to assume that many of those to the inch listed heights are not accurate to the quarter inch, which is what I'm striving for. Danimal says on 11/Oct/09

thats a pro-listing for luger, though he was listed at 6'3 in college too
That listing JT showed, also states Luger's age, which was 25 at the time. I think it's safe to assume that Luger was done growing at that age. Vegas says on 11/Oct/09

I'm really just shocked at the Biblistic approach to accepting a college listing as "MAX HEIGHT". It's rather impudent. Shock says on 11/Oct/09
Not adding a full inch, I'm saying 6'3" is a generic listing, he could be closer to 6'4", compared to Jordan, he looks closer to 6'4" than 6'3". Closer to 6'4", not full 6'4". 3/4 of an inch is a big deal here. Read the post. Fractions of an inch matter. Electric says on 10/Oct/09
I talked to One Man Gang the other day and asked him flat out how tall he was. He said 6'7".
Given Gang was an inch taller than Hogan peak, that puts Hogan at an easy 6'6". Shock says on 10/Oct/09
JT the listing means nothing as he could still be up into the inch, and he could easily still be 6'3.75" compared to Jordan ie: closer to 6'4" than 6'3" Derek says on 10/Oct/09

I would venture to guess the 6'5" in high school remark could very well suggest that isn't his full height. I'm very willing to believe an ultimate peak height of Hogan to be 6'6.25" in the 70s, but definitely 6'6" early to mid 80s, and falling into the 6'5" range towards 1990. I don't think he was below 6'5" in WCW in 1994.
Even in 1995 he had some good height on 6'3" Lex Luger. Hogan was in running shoes and Luger in cowboy boots. Just goes to show HOW MUCH height Hogan lost from THEN to 2002 (his comeback in the WWE), where he was barely taller than 6'3" The Rock. I am pretty sure that the Rock would edge out Hogan today.

Did Hogan and Leslie even met each other at High School. Ed Leslie is 4 years younger than Hogan.
I remember seeing that documentary a while ago, but quite frankly didn't pay much attention to that claim. I don't call it breaking kayfabe if he claims Hogan was 6'5" in High School, as Hogan could've easily grown after that. If he would've said Hogan was 6'5" when they trained together in the Alabama territory (when Hogan was 24), that's what I call breaking kayfabe. Shock says on 7/Oct/09

Hogan was probably more likely 6"5 than 6"6.
6"5.5 seems to be a solid estimate, but we'll never know. I'm not sure if I can see him as a flat 6"6 during the day.

I find it hard to believe that Mr T's combat boots give him more that Hogan's cowboy boots.
I'd say Hogan looks 6'5 in these photos taking everything into account.
This is also the height he gave himself on the interview posted below. Maybe he's giving his real height of the past now even though he's 6'4-ish or even below that now. I'd give Hogan a 6'5 peak without shoes. Danimal says on 6/Oct/09
JT says on 4/Oct/09
From 1986. Click Here If Hogan is 6'6" barefoot and around 6'8" in cowboy boots, Mr. T has to be at least 6'1" in his combat boots. IIRC Rob has Mr. T at 5'10.5".

"Danimal says on 29/Sep/09
I have met BRet, have you? I had a beer with him in Calgary over Christmas/New YEars 2001/2002. He's 5'11" and Bret had 2" on Davey Boy, who was slightly shorter than me in 1995. He came to my school with the Iron Sheik."
I don't know how I can I trust your judgement since you think Davey was 2" shorter than Bret, and he clearly wasn't. It's an inch at most. If you said he was an inch shorter I'd have a hard time arguing with this since it would be a matter of you just thinking they were all about 1" shorter than I do, but that 2" vs 1" discrepency doesn't jive.
By the 90s, Bret Hart was a very sturdy 6'1" 234 lb bill in the WWF and nothing else, at least after the Hart Foundation. Beyond that, I think the only time I saw otherwise was in video games where he'd get back 6', but that might the same games where Bigelow, for example, got 6'6" and some others got wildly incorrect bills. You might occasionally see Bret get a lb or 2 difference on MSG tapings when they would display stats during matches, but to say Bret was ever billed 5'11" is entirely wrong, in the sense, that's obviously an erroneous bill as Bret Hart is 6 feet tall today.
Owen Hart was thoroughly billed 5'10" 227 lbs
Davey's height bill is all over the place, anywhere from 5'11" to 6'3" by major companies. He HAS been billed 6' and various weights all between 250 and 280+ in the 90s, and 6' would fall in line with Owen and Bret's bills that tend to be within what I believe is 1" of their actual heights.
Bret was thoroughly billed 6'1" 234. Bret was 1" shorter than Piper who was over 6'1" peak and still nearly 6' today at 55.
Danimal's heights are:
Bret: 5'11"
Davey Boy: 5'9"
then Owen would be...5'7"-8"?
Owen was 3" shorter than Bret, 2" shorter than Davey and Owen Hart was NOT shorter than me, (5'8"). All three men typically wore 2 layer (0.6") wrestling boots for their 90's careers.
Here are my peak cm estimates for the previously mentioned wrestlers:
Rowdy Roddy Piper: 186-187 cm
Bret Hart: 183-184 cm
Davey Boy Smith: 180-181 cm
Owen Hart: 175-176 cm Big d says on 30/Sep/09
Its more than possible that hogan has lost 3 inches in height. My dad was measured at 6'1.5" when he went into the RAF. He's now in his 60's and is about 5'11.5". He's not had the surgeries and what not that Hogan has had. Its just his age. So although the surgeries to his hip, his knees and his back are a factor to hogans height, a lack of stability in his core muscles and his age are also a dissuading factor i-Clarke-93 says on 30/Sep/09

PWI is an absolutely awful resource for definitive heights and weights. They are so completely arbitrary.
British Bulldog was about 1" shorter than peak Bret Hart, who is still 6' today. This can be seen in their toe to toe staredown from Summerslam 1992, there's no debate. Another thing to point out, Davey was obviously taller than Captain Lou Albano who is about 5'8". Davey, also noticeably taller than Owen Hart, who was right about 5'9".
Really, I think Dynamite Kid was about 59" and change, and Davey was right about 5'11". In promo shots, Dynamite Kid generally comes out 1" shorter, but in the ring where you can see everything, he's 2" shorter or more, basically comes up to Davey's eyebrows. The shortest I could possibly see Davey is 180cm.
Davey Boy had an outrageous 6'3" bill at some point as well, just thought I'd mention.
Could you provide some pics that you think show Davey at 5'9" or are you solely basing it on PWI's misinformation? Just for the sake of argument, if you believe Bret Hart to be 5'11", then Davey had to be at least 5'10".
Dynamite was 5'8 nothing more , Bulldog I can't see being under 5'10 although his physique gave the impression he was taller. Derek says on 30/Sep/09
Vegas- Bret was listed at 5'11" until around 1992/3. He was definitely listed at that while teaming with Jim Neidhart as the Hart Foundation. Danimal says on 30/Sep/09
Ghost says on 30/Sep/09
Excuse me, but he wasn't at least the same height as Hasselholf. how can you not see that he was shorter than him??? Have you not seen the picture of his spine? He has also recently had yet another hip replacement. He's MAX 6'3" today IF THAT.
Ok, he might have been marginally shorter than Hasselhoff, but he certainly wasn't shorter than Conan. Don't you have Conan at 6'5 or something?
6'4" Vegas says on 30/Sep/09
hasselhoff was in cowboys boots that night with hogan at the "VH1 Big in '06" awards, i have posted those photos on numerous occasions, he had a good half an inch footwear on hogan who was in what looked like 1.3 inch caterpillar boots

Bret was BILLED at 5'11" prior to winning the WWE Championship. That's the max he is. Danimal and Frank both agree that Bulldog was 5'9". Bulldog was also clearly taller than Owen Hart, who was max 5'8". Danimal says on 29/Sep/09

I have found a height claim by Hogan you can use (30 seconds in)
Click Here
He claims he is still 6"5, a ridiculous claim. Danimal says on 28/Sep/09
Shock, Dynamite Kid was 5'8" and Bulldog had an inch on him in mid 80's backstage interviews. I also had a 1990 Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine where they gave a breakdown of 500 wrestlers billed heights and weighs. Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels were both billed at 5'11". Dynamtite Kid 5'8" and Davey Boy 5'9". I believe this to be all their true heights. SURE, I am flexible that they were that height with a little change and rounded up to the nearest inch, but not more than that. Shock says on 28/Sep/09
Danimal, Bulldog's typical boots were smaller than standard dress shoes and way smaller than sneakers, how was he taller in ring gear than street clothes unless he was barefoot or in sandals? In that interview, he has the smallest footwear in the ring.
Click Here - those look like 2 layer to me.
What you are saying is blatantly contradictory to the truth as he was unquestionably 5'11" or taller. He's about 1" or so shorter than Bret Hart in their Summerslam 1992 staredown, identical boot thickness, Bret I believe somewhere between 6' and 6'1" peak, 6' definitely still today.
Diesel: nearly 6'10" peak
Vince: 6'1.5" peak
Bret Hart: 6'0.5" peak
Bulldog: 5'11" range Rugal Bernstein says on 27/Sep/09
Yes, we all say that Hogan's peak height was close to 6'6", so the result is that Hogan was a legit 6'5.5" in his prime but nowadays a strong 6'4". He has at least a full inch on Lou Ferrigno who was 6'4.5"-6'5" in his younger days so Ferrigno could be 6'3.5" nowadays and Hogan is 6'4" at his absolutely lowest. Danimal says on 27/Sep/09

Frank,
Vince is probably 6'0" NOWADAYS. He was taller when you met him. The man has been shown noticeable height shrinkage the last few years (post 2003). Natalie says on 26/Sep/09
He's 6'3, interviewed on Australia Rules Football broadcast last week. Mark Howard the reporter who is the same height as Hogan looked him in the eye. Standing around most AFL ruckman/forwards who stand around 6'4 to 6'6 they've got 2 -3 inches on Mark. Ryan says on 26/Sep/09
1995 no 4 inches between bulldog and vince here Click Here Sam says on 26/Sep/09
Hogan was at least 6'6. Ben Davidson was super tall, legit 6'8, Hogan hung with him very well in that movie. Yes he was shorter, about 2 inches shorter which would make him 6'6, but he was in the same height range. Sven Ole Thornson who is put at 6'5 on this site and is often called 6'6 was not even in the same height range as Davidson in Conan, That shows how tall Davidson was. Davidson 6'8, Hogan 6'6 and Thornson about 6'4. Frank says on 25/Sep/09
Danimal, Vince looked tall to me i agree and Bulldog looked short in street clothes 5ft 9 @ best I was saying if Vince is 6ft he was wearing lifts when i met him Danimal says on 24/Sep/09

And the Slammy's saw a 60 year old Monsoon. Tell me he wasn't taller in the 1970's?
we have already been through this, no, unless vince lost more height between 76 and 97, fast forward to 4mins 20secs Click Here
lex luger measured up just as well if not better to sid in 1991 than monsoon did Shock says on 22/Sep/09
And not just 60 years old, but he carried around tremendous weight most of his life over a long career, which has gotta do something to overall height. I believe Monsoon could have peaked close to 6'5" and that Wepner was 6'5.5" as I've seen listed very commonly.
Sid's height for me has become a mystery because it seems like he hovers around 6'7" even, I'm just not sure if it's just above or below at times, or just 6'7" even.
People tend to believe Sid is a straight up 6'7", which I would easily buy because when I met him in 1998 (when I was wrestling for NWA at the tender age of 17) I felt immediately he was at least 6'8". I did realize recently that during this time, my footwear was simple scholastic wrestling Asics, meaning he'd probably have a solid inch in footwear advantage on me even in passing in the locker room. I would say 6'7" was right on the money, and Monsoon looks no more than 3" shorter, no less than 2.5". I would compromise and say there's a chance it's 6'6.75" and 6'4" or some combination of numbers resulting in no more than 3" difference and no less than 2.5" with height ranges no less than 6'6.75" for Sid and no less than 6'3.75" for Monsoon. Danimal says on 21/Sep/09
And the Slammy's saw a 60 year old Monsoon. Tell me he wasn't taller in the 1970's? hs2009 says on 20/Sep/09
Sid has 3" on Monsoon from the Slammy's. Sid is legit 6'7" IMO, putting Monsoon at 6'4". Shock says on 20/Sep/09
I think the difference between Sid and Monsoon at the Slammy's is as little as 2.5" and at most 3", here's a cap I took, I still have it on tape:
Click Here
I didn't put a line for the top of Monsoon's head, but I adjusted the ropes and stage to be straight across because it favored Sid by like 0.2 degrees. This position seems to be the most fair and in line.
I think Monsoon was at least 6'4", he was at least an inch taller than Vader whom I also feel is at least 6'3" even, who was a hair shorter than the Rock, and I put the Rock at just over 6'3". Ronster says on 19/Sep/09
You are comparing a 50-60 year old monsoon who by then stood 6'4-6'5" after loosing 2 inches or so from his youth. Monsoon was a legit 6'6" tall in his younger days period. Geesh, you guys are too much. Anonymous says on 19/Sep/09
Hogan had numerous stairdowns with Ventura in 1981-83. Hogan was 3 inches taller, not 4 inches, not 2 inches, 3 inches. At the time Hogan was getting 6'8 340 and Ventura 6'5 280. Hogan did seem close to 60 pounds heavier. However, as we know now, Hogan was a 6'5-6'6 guy, 305-315 max and Ventura was a 6'2-6'3 guy, 245-260+ max. Since Hogan is still willing to call himself 6'5 today and Ventura called himself 6'5 in Preditor, obviously these guy's are not afraid of exzagerating. Vegas says on 18/Sep/09
but perfect and monsoon are the same distance from the camera and the same angle, the shoes i cannot make out though, 3 mins 50 seconds, there is no argument both men are standing in the same position Click Here
austin and monsoon, its backstage for one and i don't see more than 3 inches at any point, even with austin doing his usual "hang his head to the side" routine that makes him look shorter Click Here
regarding the monsoon/vince video if you watch again monsoon has the high-camera angle in the wide shots as he is standing slightly further away, when the camera zooms in that high camera angle is eliminated and vince looks about 2.5-3 inches shorter and again vinces height is far from determined
if ventura was 6'2 barefoot (and i am stressing "if" because i don't know) then he would stand ~6'4 in his cowboys, say monsoon was 6'3.5 barefoot or whatever he would stand 6'4.5 in his shoes so he would edge out ventura regardless of cowboys or not, then again i didn't say ventura was in cowboys with monsoon, he wore them alot, doesn't mean he wore them all the time, he didn't wear then at summerslam 88 e.g and looked shorter than dibiase, whereever we saw monsoon and ventura together they never showed feet that i can remember
i haven't seen a good ventura/hogan staredown from the early 80s Danimal says on 18/Sep/09
Vegas says on 17/Sep/09
so Danimal how do you explain the perfect/monsoon video??
the best way to judge is when 2 men are in comparitive shoes and the same distance from the camera and the same angle. This would have been Vince and Monsoon in 1997 standing side by side in dress shoes and Monsoon really towering Vince and Vince was minimum 6'1" at that time.
Also, why would minimum 6'0" Stone Cold IN wrestling boots need to stand on his tippy toes if Monsoon was a mere 2-3" taller than him?
Hogan was close to if not a full 6'6" in his prime and when him and Jesse faced on in the early 80's, Hogan had about 2" on Jesse. I didn't see more and Hogan was not 6'4".
Even if Hogan was only 6'5", this would have put Jesse at 6'3" and Monsoon was STILL taller than Jesse and according to YOU Jesse was in heels, so would that not make Monsoon's height advantage over Jesse even MORE significant? You can't have it both ways Vegas. Vegas says on 17/Sep/09
so Danimal how do you explain the perfect/monsoon video?? we have seen perfect being totally dwarfed by a 7ft listed basketballer, we have seen perfect more than an inch shorter than 6'3 listed nfl player, we have seen perfect 3.5-4 inches shorter than scott hall and yet perfect only looks 2-2.5 inches shorter than gorilla, monsoon was clearly shorter than 6'5 listed Chuck Wepner in 1976, monsoon and rock looked to have the same height on vader in 1996, monsoon was at least 3.5 inches shorter than sid at the slammys (though you say 2 inches and you also claim 2 inches between fralic/studd and piper/bret??), like JT said the claimed heights of wwe wrestlers especially those in the 70s and 80s is easily exposed in video next to legit sports stars
ventura wore huge cowboys, his height is next to impossible to pin down, when he wasn't wearing them he looked much shorter e.g. at summerslam 1998 and lets not forget ventura is listed at 6'2 on wwe.com for years now, so that height may not be that farfetched after all Danimal says on 17/Sep/09
Vegas says on 17/Sep/09
i don't think perfect was as low as 6ft flat because then it would call into question vinces height Click Here and monsoons height, personally i think monsoon was in the 6-3 range, he can't be that tall if perfect was only 6ft flat Click Here
You and JT with 6'3" range, which would have put Jesse at MAX 6'2" in the 1980's, which he WASN'T. This is ridiculous. Ventura had more than a mere .5" on Muhammed Ali. He had more than a mere 2" on Vince McMahon in 1997. Vegas says on 17/Sep/09

"DENIED and yet he STILL changes usernames DAILY and still denies"
That's because two different people are posting, in several different threads, on the same days, at various times of the day.

They have Tim Sylvia at 6'8", he's more like 6'5"-6'5.5". Same with 5'11"-6' Randy Couture, who's billed 6'2". Big Show says on 5/Sep/09

Not sure if I ever posted it. That's the biggest Hogan probably ever was and his weight billing was 324 lbs. They exagerrated everything else about him, so I doubt his weight was legit. Vegas says on 5/Sep/09

in most things ive seen 6'3" lesnar has to be right ufc dont bill heights or weight they cant.hogan satill claims 6'5" tough sometimes looks 6'3".his peak is hard to call 6'5.5-7" is plausible. Electric says on 4/Sep/09
Really Danimal, the only two I don't agree with on your list are Taker (peak 6'8") and Billy Graham (peak 6'2.5")

Peak Piper 6'1.5"
today - 5'9"ish.. Sad But True. The Ben says on 4/Sep/09

Danimal, Piper is unquestionably in the 5'11" range today, 5'11.5" most likely. Look at this picture I posted of him with an old friend of mine who is just over 6'
Click Here I'm 5'8" midday and come up to about his eyebrows.
and the pic posted on this site of him with another 6'+. 5'9" is silly.
I met piper a few months ago, i posted a pic on here, im just over 6ft and i had 3 inches on piper.... He was very cool though JT says on 3/Sep/09
Lesnar with Cena: Click Here Click Here 6'2" looks spot on.
I saw Billy Graham many times in the late 1980s (in his mid-40s), as he was renting a house/apt. about 3 blocks away from me in LA. He was no more than 6'1" at that time but probably at least 240-250 lbs. (but not in a overly muscular way). He used to drive a little MG type convertible and was pretty intimidating-looking with that tan, shaved head and goatee. The pic with 5'11" tops Steve Keirn pretty much confirms a 6'2" peak height for Graham. Shock says on 3/Sep/09

Lesnar was listed at 6'2 by the NFL , but the NFL don't always list half-inches so I think 6'2.5 is on the money for Lesnar. The Ben says on 3/Sep/09
Theres plenty of pics going around of a 6'3 plus billy graham... The man has lost serious height!... miko says on 3/Sep/09
Hogan vs Lesnar was a weird one back in 2002.
Lesnar is 6"2 at the lowest and a badly slouching Hogan had an inch on him with ease. If Hogan had stretched himself out he would have been close to 6"4 at that time.
After his recent surgeries he's now around 6"3, but if he get's his spine straightened out, he'll be back to 6"4 again.
Its all about posture with Hogan these days. He can look anywhere from 6"2 to 6"4. Linke says on 3/Sep/09
How tall is billy graham,a frnd of mine who met him recently actually told me 5'10.In his matches,he surely looked easy 6'2+ general93 says on 3/Sep/09
brock lesnar was billed 6'4" in wwe ufc have him 6'3" 265lbs which is real so in 2002 hogan had 2" on him so its a bit strange havin hogan 6'5" peak he must have been close to 6'7" peak. Vegas says on 3/Sep/09
except vince was never 6-2, vince was barely an inch taller than bobby heenan in the mid 80s, either that or vince made other guys look taller on purpose like when he wore just his socks with andre and hogan in 1980 Click Here graham was roughly an inch taller than vince in the 70s Danimal says on 2/Sep/09

My opinion on the PEAK heights of a few wrestlers (in their prime):
Big Show - 7"0.5
Andre the Giant: 6"11.5
Kevin Nash: 6"10
The Undertaker: 6"7.5
Kane: 6"7.5
Sid Eudy: 6"7
Hulk Hogan: 6"5.5
Scott Hall: 6"5
Superstar Billy Graham: 6"4
Vince McMahon: 6"1.5
Wrestlers height's TODAY (who have suffered height loss):
Big Show: 6"11.5
Andre the Giant: 6"9.75 (at death)
Kevin Nash: 6"9
The Undertaker: 6"7.25
Kane: 6"7.25
Sid Eudy: 6"7
Scott Hall: 6"4
Hulk Hogan: 6"3.5
Vince McMahon: 6"0
Superstar Billy Graham: 5"11
You should include Roddy Piper on that list. The man was 6'1.5" and looks to be MAX 5'10" today and I wouldn't rule out 5'9" either, seeing he had practically NO height on Jericho. Danimal says on 2/Sep/09

that pic with arnold is awful and its been posted here on numerous occasions to prove grahams "6-4 height", arnold barefoot too, here is a better one from around the same time, steve keirn was around 5'11 Click Here there is a full length photo of keirn and 6ft jack brisco (whom i have met in person) from the same time (70s) where brisco has roughly the same height on keirn but the site won't open at the moment
i could buy 6-2 for superstar but no more than that
No more than 6'2"? Then why was he taller than 6'2" Vince McMahon in 1978-1980 in interviews? He was at least 6'3" peak. Has lost 4". miko says on 2/Sep/09
A 6"1 Graham would result in a 5"11 Schwarzenegger!
The lowest I could go is 6"2.75 for Graham.
He looks 6"4 next to 6"11 Andre here, don't know about footwear.

And is obviously taller here than 6"1.5 Vince McMahon:

It's not impossible that Graham was 6"1, but it would drag everyone elses height down by a good few inches. Vegas says on 2/Sep/09

btw graham is also in cowboys in that hogan video and hogan is still a good 4 inches taller so graham there is approx 6'3 in cowboys or 6'1 barefoot miko says on 2/Sep/09
Billy Graham was certainly at least 6"3 at his peak.
Look at him with a 6"1.5 peak Schwarzenegger, clearly the taller of the two even if Arnold straightened up.
Click Here
By his early 40's he was a physical wreck, tried a comeback for one last paycheck but could hardly walk let alone wrestle, he had recently had a hip replacement.
As for the video with Hogan, Hogan was in his prime and a solid 6"5 if not 6"6 there, and boosted by some 2" cowboy boots, let's say that he is about 6"7.5 in his cowboys boots - 6"5.5 + 2" = 6"7.5.
Billy Graham is about 4" shorter in the video, putting him at 6"3.5, subtract an inch for footwear and he's a solid 6"2, about an inch or so down from his peak of at least 6"3.
Today his back has collapsed, he's had numerous hip replacements, ankle fusions, and claimed he'd lost 4" a few years back. Vegas says on 2/Sep/09
Billy Graham was never 6'4, i would estimate about 6'1 looking at video and photos of him from the 1970s, i doubt he lost a full 4 inches by the age of 43?? Click Here mrelectricity says on 1/Sep/09
During the Outsiders Shoot, Hall himself said he was about 280 on steroids before the WWF started testing. He came off them and went down to 245-250 during the last days as Razor and being that he was on a guaranteed contract at WCW, he didn't care so much about his size. Of course, Nash refers to Hall as 6-6 275 several times and claims the same about Barry Windham and 6-1.5 for HBK. miko says on 1/Sep/09

Giving hogan 6'4 is way to tall since 6'3 were the upper limit in the rocky movies (thats why hogan had no problem)
this was said by dolph lundgren: was turned down at my first audition for Rocky IV (1985) for being too tall. I was 6'5" and you were supposed to be 6'3" maximum. I didn't know what the casting call was for and I just showed up, they asked me how tall I was, I said 6'5" and they said NEXT!
Okay Ola. Nice try. general93 says on 1/Sep/09
liten andre the giant was 7ft at wm3 hogan was 6'6" if hogan was 6'3" then andre wud be 6'8-9" its not plausible at all.andre was the same height as wilt chamberlian.tommy lister and hogan where the same height in 1990 i think lister is 6'5.5" in a film so thats bull**** about rocky.hogan says he lost 3" of height so 6'3-4" is right for hogan today.

Saying jake is taller then hall in the video you could also say he is taller the door frame in the background, 6'11 jake the snake?

I do believe hogan had lost height by then and hall hadn't.. The Ben says on 31/Aug/09

I actually think the camera angle makes hall look shorter, but in my eyes he's taller...its just the angle.
The mug shot from a few years ago has hall at 6'5..i met hall in 94 and he looked 6'5 minimum to me.

I believe hall looked around 300 in wcw in 1991, he looked 10 to 20 lbs lighter when he entered wwf in 92, he looked to loose another 20 pounds by 94 and he lokked to be around 240 in wcw..

Find someone you know whos quite tall and heavy and get them to step on scales and check their weight, you'll be shocked...people often dont know their height and they are usually even worse with weight. The average weight for a 6'1 male in the USA is 230 lbs, im sure an average 6'5 male must be between 260 and 300... Hogan is far above average, 280lbs doesnt look big at all on a 6'5 frame...hogan always looked like a heavy guy to me..
Scott hall in his shoot interview with nash said that when he came off steroids he lost 20 LBS... I think hall at his biggest was 6'5 and 290, hogan maybe sightly taller and upto 40 lbs heavier.. Hogans weight seemed to really change month to month back then, im guessing because of how much he was on the road and doing appearances.
Hall claimed to have been just over 300 pounds at his heaviest. There is a recent video circulating of Jake Roberts being interviewed and Hall is behind him trying to get some camera time and it appears as though Jake has 2-3" on Hall today. Just goes to show just how tall Hogan WAS in the 1980's. People don't realize that his 1990's height was NOT his peak height.
Here's the video and take into account, this is a broken down Jake who recently underwent hip surgery. Hall comes in at around 2:50 Click Here Anonymous says on 29/Aug/09
Hogan was a round up 6'7 in the 70's. Probably 6'6.25 max. That would put him at 6'9 in the mega 2.75 inch boots he wore, he was not any taller than that. Vegas says on 29/Aug/09

This is very interesting.... Click Here
It's a size comparison between a Washington sports reporter to Washington Redskins right tackle Mike Williams. Mike Williams is listed as 6'6. I've seen the guy personally at a Buffalo Bills training camp, and he towered over everyone, including other linemen, so his height is definitely legit. He was always taller than 6'5 Drew Bledsoe (I've seen him too, Bledsoe is definitely 6'5).
The point I want to make about this is that the reporter says that he is 6 feet and 1/2 inch tall. "Greg", who appears next to Hogan in the photo at the top of the page, is also 6 feet and 1/2 inch tall. When you compare the photo of Williams standing next to the reporter, and "Greg" standing next to Hogan, Hogan actually looks 6'6, if not 6'7. Granted we don't know what he's wearing on his feet, but still. We can't automatically assume he wore cowboy boots 24/7, especially in a candid photo like that one. Danimal says on 28/Aug/09

You know what kills me about most of you, every time i make a valid point about some of these pictures where Hogan looks a bit shorter you respond without even acknowledging it. For instance, the Hulk/Edge one where i pointed out and if you watch you will see it in every Hogan video from his WWE re-incarnation with his knee brace. He always stood with his knees bent because the brace he wore would not let him straighten his leg, this drops your height by no less than 2-3" guaranteed. That makes Hogan looking even with the 6'4" edge at least 2-3" taller at the time. Also, a few smart posters have pointed out his back and how it is badly curved, after his laser treatment he already looks at least 6'6" again. Stop trying to belittle him, none of you so called height experts have one ounce of proof that Hulk was any less than 6'8" in the eighties and still 6'5 minimum today.
Give it a rest kid. Your points aren't valid. They are naive, ignorant, delusional and a fantast. Look to the top of the page. Hogan himself has stated he was down to 6'4" in early 2005. Who are you FOOLING? Red Spirit says on 28/Aug/09

Danimal, please! wake up! i.e SCOTT HALL is by no means a small man, he was listed as 225 lbs and 6'5(in shoes) in a police report. you really believe hogan had him by 100(!) lbs? 280 for a peak hogan is fair enough, the man didnt have legs only a big upper body!
i have met some ppl who is 6'6, and even 6'9. but hogan was not 6'6 try 6'4-6'5! a hogan with legs (like batista have) would be way over 300 but that was not the case...
I've been on here for too many years to debate this was an ANONYMOUS. NO ONE on here will claim 6'4" for Hogan at his peak. NO ONE. EVERYONE states that he was at least 6'5" and MANY claim 6'6". Just because YOU state something without providing ANY pictures, or stating that you know 6'6" people and then write off Hogan as not having been one. Did you ever stand next to Hogan in the 1980's? You'll probably say you have, which we know you haven't and because you haven't and because you've provided NOTHING to back up your claim of a 6'4" PRIME Hogan, I advise you stay ANONYMOUS, because you've already lost all credibility by coming on here and saying things you CANNOT BACK UP.

I agree. Look at Magnus Samuelson (world strongest man) who was around the same height as PEAK Hogan and Magnus got up to 340+ pounds and Hogan looked as large as him. I can easily buy an EASY 310-315 pounds and 330-340 at his height and size in the late 70's/early 80's is very believable as well. general93 says on 26/Aug/09

Hogan was indeed down to 230-240 in 1993, and about 250-260 in nwo days 96-99. but he started to gain alot of weight and was FAT in his quick return in wm21(?), approx 275, which is almost equal with his peak weight(more muscles, less fat) in late 80/early 90's
hogan was NEVER above 280 lbs
Have you met many 6'6" men Hogan's size in 1980? A man who had 22" arms and stood his ground next to Andre the Giant. He was billed at 320-340 pounds at that time. He was at least 305-310 pounds. 280 pounds is a joke. Anonymous says on 25/Aug/09

Hogan WAS very tall, I truly beleive 6'6.25-6'6.50. But I think his peak weight was not as high as was stated. 81-83 Hogan was in the NWA and he was billed 340-345. Less than a year later he went to the WWF and won the belt and was 302. He looked exactly the same, he did not look 1 pound lighter, in fact he could have been a few pounds bigger. If you go from 345 to 302 in a year you are almost going to look like a different person, that was not the case. I think that Hogan was 310 at the most, in fact, Hogan never had a ring weight of over 305-306 after 1984. He was higher than that in the magazines.

Wow Danimal...bragging about posting here for 5 years? Is that really something you want to pass on to your grand kids?
Andre's boots were not lifts. I don't know the exact dimensions personally, but it would seem they're between half and one quarter the size of most wrestlers boots today. They're much smaller than what you would see on Kane, Big Daddy V or Mark Henry (who wear lifts) and also smaller than Undertaker, Triple H, and Randy Orton's boots (which are standard size.) drk says on 18/Aug/09
