a friend of mine saw hogan at grocey store swears the hulk is 6.5. Red says on 2/Feb/12
They look the same height, Aikman looks taller because he is skinnyer, has higher shoulders and a smaller head.
And don´t forget the hair advantage. Halb says on 2/Feb/12

Hogan has large features. He's not a basketball player type. He obviosuly has noticeably chunkier footwear from the presenter for it to be mentioned.

Anyone check out the Aikman/Hogan links I posted? It's pretty clear they're about the same height when both have the same posture. I would bet if Hogan were measured today with perfect posture, he would be in the 6'4" range. He just comes across as being 6'3" or so because his posture is usually really bad. In his prime, he was about 6'6".
Here is the Aikman/Hogan clip again:

They are lined up with each, have similar posture, and are the same height. dicksock says on 1/Feb/12
Vegas: Just because edge has to have another surgery, that doesn't mean he'll end up anywhere near as bad as Hogan. Only time will tell, but if he stays out of the ring, I'd bet the house that Edge will be just fine. He may be limited physically, but he went be walking around like an 90 year old man and unable to straighten his legs. Edge's problems were caused by wrestling. I think Hogan's were caused by steroid abuse. Danimal says on 1/Feb/12

Hulkster seems to be the same heiggt as Aikman now. 6'4 1/4" now. 6'7 1/4" then.
Shorter than Aikman today. In his prime, probably would have had 2" on him. Danimal says on 1/Feb/12

Hogan is taller than Matthew Stadlen who claims 6'4. They go back to back so you don't get any better than that. Hogan says he is wearing tennis shoes. Also, Hogan's head and hands are much larger than Stadlen's in comparison.

If a 1978-1989 Hogan stood next to this same guy, he would be looking down at him GUARANTEED. Stadlen is probably 6'3" and change and Hogan probably had the footwear advantage. I don't see Hogan at any taller than a FLAT 6'3" today. Was close to 6'6" in his prime (hence the HUGE hands).. Halb says on 1/Feb/12

The Ben: The young guys won't end up like Hogan because that haven't abused steroids. If you want to know what most of these guys will end up like, look at Edge and Shawn Michaels
________
edge would be the last wrestler i would use as an example Click Here he recently said that he will have to undergo another spinal/neck fusion surgery, edge is in far worse shape physically at 38 than hogan was at 48
any aspiring wrestler should use jerry lawler as an example, in his 60s, still a top performer, never did drugs or abused alcohol and didn't need to take unprotected chair shots to the head or jump off 20ft ladders head first to get over kobe24 says on 31/Jan/12

Guys like A.J Styles, Samoa Joe, C.M Punk,Robert Roode, ect all take good care of themselves. They are not abusing drugs,steroids, and alcohol. Plus, their schedules are much much lighter.
I would say AJ, HBK (Other wrestlers have said a big steroid user), Edge (His physique changed massively when the steroid testing came in legit) and Robert Roode are or have taken plenty of performance enhancing drugs, HBK was a huge pill and recreational drug user and I bet plenty of the others have used as well. Not saying they'll end up exactly like hogan but Im sure most will have physical problems, HBK and Edge have both had major surgeries and I bet both live physical pain and limitations. Its usually the guys who take very few bumps like hogan who come out in the best shape, 10 or 15 years from now I'd like to see how guys like AJ and the hardys are doing. Look at the lists of wrestlers caught taking drugs, Guys you'd never expect.

Tom Lister, at 6'3, certainly appeared taller than Hulk due to his big boots, but they were about the same height at the time of No Holds Barred. Hulk was 6'3 or so 20 plus years ago and is 6'2 today. dicksock says on 30/Jan/12

The reason I say 6'3 is because he had an inch or so on Sting, I've stood right next to sting ringside (in 03) and he looked a solid 6'2, Still looks it today.
Hogan was taller than sting, Bully ray, James storm and bobby rood, If he could stand tall he may reach 6'4 but I dont think he physically can, He could be as low as 6'2 like Danimal says.
He was leaning slightly to one side and seemed to have very tilted pelvis, When he took his shirt off it was a sad sight.
I totally agree with Danimal about his slim hips.
I dont think I've ever seen a person walking without a cane or crutches in such a bad physical state, I have no problems seeing MASSIVE height loss from Hogan.
There is no way he's over 6'4 today, Its sad to say but I cant see the man walking for much longer, with his hair and strange proportions he had the Michael Jackson way to much surgery not quite human look to him.
Seeing the younger guys in great shape in the ring next to him only made it seem worse, as a 25yr wrestling fan I couldn't help but look at the younger guys with a sense of sadness seeing what the future holds for most old wrestlers. dicksock says on 30/Jan/12
Bill Compton says on 28/Jan/12
I don't think Hogan wears cowboy boots anymore. Haven't seen them since the mid nineties. I think he sticks to wearing Nikes because of his back issues. I think it safe to say Hogan is curently 6'4. Anything under this is out of the question. I think Hogan gets asked about his shoe advantage because Matthew Stadlen Claims to be 6'4 and Hogan is taller.
_____________
That guy he went back to back with claims to be 6'4"? Hogan was clearly at least an inch taller. Then again he's at least 2" taller than 6'2" Sting so it doesn't surprise me. Danimal says on 29/Jan/12
The Ben says on 27/Jan/12
I was at TNA nottingham UK yesterday and saw Hogan for the first time.
He was a total mess! His arms where crazy long and his head was MASSIVE, His legs where tiny and didnt fit his body at all, Im guessing this look was due to all his surgeries and abuse of growth hormone and steroids, I would say he looked 6'3 and I could see a 6'6 peak if his lower body matched his upper.
He couldnt straighten his legs or arms and he had the posture of an 80 yr old, Seeing him on TV doesnt show how messed up he is physically.
Been saying this (about his legs/lower body) for YEARS. People keeping claiming he lost height because of his curvature in his back. PEOPLE, look at Hogan's legs in the 1980's. They were LONG. Ever since 2002 his legs have been SHORT and he has the tiniest and narrowest hips ever. This man had LARGE hips and LONG legs before the multiple knee replacements and hip surgeries. A LOT of his height loss has occurred in his lower body, in ADDITION to the damage to his upper torso (back, neck, etc..). To all those claiming he is still 6'4" are BLIND and in HUGE denial. The man is somewhere between 6'2" and 6'3" MAX today. He's lost inches (not only 1" like some on here like to claim).. Bill Compton says on 28/Jan/12

I agree I met him a year ago the morning he had his most recent back surgery, at the hospital he had it at. He looked to be in agonizing pain, walking very gingerly. Don't know how the pain is now but it's sad to see how much his condition has deteriorated. This was a man who in his prime was one of the strongest men in wrestling, if not the world, after all despite the exaggerations, Andre was well over 500 pounds when Hogan slammed back at WM3, and that takes a huge amount of strength. Now the man can barely walk. Halb says on 28/Jan/12

Lister was 6'5, let's say that he was standing 6'6.5 in his boots.
Both men looked to be on there toes in the staredown, and Hogan came out fractionally shorter, putting Hulk at 6'6/6'6.25 in his boots.
Barefoot, Hogan might have had the edge on Lister, would have been damn close though. I reckon Hulk was smack bang on 6'5.25.
The Lister, Sid etc staredowns, completely rule out 6'6. dicksock says on 27/Jan/12

One question to JT. You are very active her and posting a lot, but what was Hogans peak height right out of bed according to you?
Right out of bed? Maybe 6'5.5" or so and then around 6'5" at midday. I'd never bet against Hogan at one time hitting 6'6" at midday but just don't believe he was ever that tall.
There are plenty of pics out there of 6'6" basketball players with guys of known height and Hogan never came across as a legit 6'6" to me. Compare how Hogan measured up to mean gene with 6'4.5"/6'5" Bill Fralic and gene Click Here and charles barkley and gene Click Here Rob has Barkley at 6'4 3/4", which is too low. He is around 6'6" but no taller. Kobe24 says on 23/Jan/12

Worthington and Favreau don't look 4 inches apart. I said this before and I will say it again. I live in Tampa and have met Hogan numerous times. I am 6'2 and he is taller than me. I don't know exactly how much taller but I would guess 2 to 3 inches. You can not judge people's height of photos.san-diego-comic-con/page/2 JT says on 21/Jan/12

Something is odd with all these heights. Here is 6'5 Howie Long and 6'4 Troy Aikman. Long is clearly has over 2 inches on him. That makes Troy 6'3 or shorter. Hogan must be 6'1 or shorter which I know is not true.

The shot you posted seems to have been cut out of the original episode though.
Hogan looks kinda short next to McGinley. McGinley is ~5'11" judging from Married with Children. I think the photo gives a skewed result. McGinley was 1-2 inches shorter than Ed O'Neill. O'Neill looked around 2-3 inches shorter than King Kong Bundy and Bundy was around 1-2 inches shorter than Hogan. Eric says on 20/Jan/12

Rob do you really think Hulk was a legitimate flat 6'6 in his prime?
He did regularly claim 6'7, but maybe that was in his wrestling boots?
Every photo/video I've seen posted on here over the last 5 years points to him being closer to 6'5 than 6'6 and most likely bang down the middle at 6'5.5.
Next to Sid who you have listed at 6'7 on here, he looked a solid 2 inches shorter in 1991, and he was only 38 years old at that time.
I think you have his present height bang on by the way, just not sure on that 6'6 peak. Vegas says on 20/Jan/12

Ferrigno over 330 pounds?? Even Magnus Samuelsson at his heaviest isn't much more than that. He was usually around 285 during competition. The heaviest I ever read for him in off season was 318. Generally he was around 280 which is still enormous. Silent d says on 29/Dec/11
He looked really tall next to andre the giant. He is my favourite wrestler of all time. I grew up with him. I liked it when he ripped his singlet. That was awesome. He is ripped. I think after all the surgery he would lose a couple of inches. I hope to meet him one day. 192cm is about right. dicksock says on 29/Dec/11
The Ben says on 28/Dec/11
Its really hard to tell weights, I could see hogan up over 260, I just know to many guys who are around 6'2 and 250 who don't look big at all, They don't workout and you wouldn't give them a second look and Hogan looks far bigger than they are.

Exactly. Having never met Hulk, I can't really pin point his weight. I would say he weighs anywhere between 250lbs and 280lbs. If I had to guess his exact stats, I would say ~6'4" 265lbs. At his biggest, he was probably ~6'5.5" ~300lbs. Eric says on 29/Dec/11
That's correct, yaspa. Kurt is 6'3 and he was wearing dress shoes in the movie while Hulk was wearing thick heeled boots. Hulk looked less than 2 inches taller than Kurt. Yaspaa says on 28/Dec/11
Never looked more than 6'5, didn't have more than 2" on 6'3 Kurt Fuller in No Holds Barred. The Ben says on 28/Dec/11

Two guys next to each other in T-shirts are hard to judge as well.
If hogan was 280 I wouldn't be surprised.
At his lightest I think 230, I had a copy of impact magazine from 1993 and in an interview in that he said 230, The interview wasn't about wrestling at all and it just focused on thunder in paradise and acting. As far as height goes I'm with Danimal and davey although I think he could maybe be over 6'3 today. RP says on 27/Dec/11
yeah Danimal...I'm going 255 on Hogan. With him going from 248-258/260 tops. Stone says on 27/Dec/11

It's time to put an end to this discussion! Hogan is a legend and a wrestling icon. He is/was and will always be the greatest and most famous wrestler of all time. here in Sweden people only recognise Hogan and the rock. names like steve austin, flair, bret hart, undertaker, cena doesn't say a ****.
Let's face the true abou hogan real stats
PRIME 6'4.5 - 6'5.25 (nothing less and nothing over )
Current: i don't realy care about his current height but his height loss is a maximum of 1.5 inches. so if he was 6'5 peak then he is 6'3.5 now and if he was 6'5 peak then he is 6'3 now.
this is celebheights and not celebweights or celebbiceps!
NOW THIS IS SOOO RIGHT . !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Danimal says on 26/Dec/11
davey says on 23/Dec/11
He claims he was 6'7 when he was young and first started in wrestling, he must have been measured somewhere that gave him that idea but knowing most people he was probably really about 6'6 and a little bit and rounded himself up to 6'7.
These days when I see him standing next to people he used to be way taller than like sting and vince mcmahon and looking practically the same height as them now (especially vince he used to do interviews next to him in the middle of the ring and tower over him then in 2003 he was practically the same size) I'd go as far as to say he's lost at least 3 inches in height through age plus surgeries so he'd have to be 6'3 max, I wouldn't really be surprised if he was even 6'2 after all he's been through.
I 100% agree with everything you wrote. Danimal says on 26/Dec/11

Really Ronster!...280 plus! Troy Aikman weighs 232 lbs "This is what he told NFL serious radio last week when they were discussing the size of modern day QB's".....Troy said, "I'm 6'4" and weight 232 & I played at 227-230 & these guys make me look small sometimes" Now, does Hogan look 50 lbs heavier than Troy in RAC commercials?...No! 15 lbs tops! Troy's shoulders are actually broader than Hogan's now.
Considering his height loss and loss of overall size, I'd give him still 250+ pounds easily. drummer777 says on 26/Dec/11

In 1985 Hulk Hogan in several matches with big John stud . Who is 6'7" Hulk Hogan was clearly between an inch and a half or two full inches shorter. Which once again brings us to his Peak Height of 6'5" is weight very between 285 pounds to 300 pounds RP says on 20/Dec/11
Ronster, Do you seriously, honestly believe that Hogan at is currently close to 300 lbs? Fella, he's 260 tops at the moment! I'd say his current naked body weight is in the 248-253 range...at his current height of 6'3.75"...Saw him on ESPN last week, Terry is 6'3.75" and in the low 250's right now. He could maybe pigout & hit 260 fully clothed & with shoes on right now? But, barefoot: 6'3.75" & naked: 248-253 lbs. This nonsense of you claiming he is close to 300 is just silly! Even to say 280 would be rediculous! Ronster says on 19/Dec/11

How any of you cannot see clearly that he is still over 6'5" at least and weighs nearly 300lbs and was clearly 6'7" at least and well over 300lbs in his youth is beyond me. I for the record used to think he was around 6'9" in the eighties like most people, but after seeing him live and seeing many appearances and photos realize that yes he was billed a bit taller than he really was at first by about an inch or two. madmacs says on 18/Dec/11
5'8" sounds right. I am almost 6'8" and was walking thru an airport and my 5'11" wife when she says there's Hulk Hogan! I looked around and around and said to her where is he? She said he's right in front of you! I looked down and there he was. 5'8" sounds about right!!

Danimal is correct on several accounts....Lou at 42 in The Masters Olympia was 6'4.25" & 308 lbs with 23" arms...Lou said they hit 23.5" cold during the offseason when he hit 320. Peak Lou was 6'4.75"! His arms where mostly 22" cold when he was training properly & not taking weeks off to film The Hulk & movies. Peak Hogan was 6'5.5"....his weight from the late 70's to the late 80's was 300-305....once in a while he'd bloat up to 310. And a few times he dipped down to about 290. And Terry's "Hulk" largest his arms where 22" cold. This is fact! And please!. Stop showing that 1978/79 pic of Terry with the hairy chest as your proof of his arms being 24"! Jeez! Can you not tell that the photo was taken with the shadow technique? That placed a shadow behind his arm to make it appear larger. Take out the shadow, and Terry's arms only look 21" there.

Coming from a man who has similar looking arms, I would bet my life those arms were not 24 1/2". They were more like 21". I don't know why you're so obsessed with believing in Hogan's billed statistics. He was a huge man. Nobody here disputes that. He was at least 6'5" and around 300lbs with not all that much fat. By the way, even if I'm wrong and he had legit 24" "pythons", what does that have to do with his height? Ok, Hogan was 450lbs and had 32.5" arms. How tall was he? The FACT is, he wasn't taller than 6'5.75" Earthquake. He wasn't as tall as 6'7" Sid. He looked very similar in height with the self described 6'5" Jake Roberts, 6'5" Scott Hall, and 6'5" Barry Windham. He was about 3" shorter than 6'8"-6'9" Giant Baba. He was barely taller than 6'5" max Hillbilly Jim. He was a tad shorter than 6'7" max John Studd. I have never seen a situation where Hogan looked above 6'7". Most of the time, he looked 6'5"-6'6". drummer777 says on 7/Dec/11
Well Naturally he get larger and taller hes the Hulk isn't he, When Hulk gets angry it causes him to grow into larger and taller Hulk and then he shrinks back down to 6'3, YOu see Andre made him really angry so he grew his largest and tallest to 6'8.

Actually, no I don't. I consistently estimate people's heights in real live. I can assure you I'm never more than an inch off. Many times I'll even test myself on this site. I'll look at the random photo in the top right corner of the page and try to guess the height of someone I've never seen. If I suck so bad at estimating heights, why am I never more than an inch off when I actually go to that person's page? I guess Rob sucks as well. Barkley is around 6'5" for a fact. He is no less than 6'4.5" and no more than 6'5.5". Why don't you enlighten me by showing me your estimates. lalll says on 4/Dec/11

They did measure Hulks biceps fully flexed at 24 inches on Vinces talk show back in the 80's, its on youtube, I don't believe now hulk was ever 6'7 I did give him the benefit of the doubt because its possible to lose inches from spinal surgery.
You can tell he was heavier back in the 80's, I think he was around 305 pounds at that time and then went down to 275 in his WCW days.
He would of had to started losing his height before he met Sid and taker back in the 80's. but problem is he was shorter than a so called 6'7 JOhn studd back in the 70's. Vegas says on 4/Dec/11

yes i understand your point. If a 5'10.5 - 5'11 guy stood next to a 6'5 - 6'5.5 guy with the same size of arms, the shorter guys arms would look much taller as the are much shorter.
Hogan was billed as 6'6, 6'7 and 6'8
in the WWF he was billed between 294 - 303 pounds
Arms: in the beginning mentioned and promoted as 26 inches, later (WWF era) 24

I used to believe Hogan was 6'5 max in his prime but now I realize Hulk was very tall back in the day. Maybe 6'8 would be too much, that height would've made him taller than Undertaker, although I admit he could have been 6'6.5 probably at his tallest in his 20's he was a towering man. Currently I think he is 6'3.5 but 6'3 is possible too. dicksock says on 3/Dec/11
Henry: Do us all a favor and stop trolling. Henry says on 3/Dec/11
Ronnie Coleman is a MIDGET with a wingspan probably a foot shorter than peak Hogan's. You have no concept how if 2 guys have the same circumference arms but one guy is much taller, the taller guy's arms would look thinner even though they have the same circumference. You probably think Marky Mark Walberg has bigger arm circumference than Shaq don't you? LMFAO!
6'8" 340lbs Hogan's arms are easily have 3 or 4" more circumference than that Midget Ronnie Coleman's arms. LMFAO.

You probably think that Ronnie Coleman has bigger cirmference arms than Lou Ferrigno too? Well he doesn't because Ferrigno wasn't a MIDGET. Ronnie Coleman, who are you going to say next Gary Coleman had bigger arms than the Hulkser ROTFLMFAO! miko says on 2/Dec/11
In his prime he was 6'5/6'5.5 and around 290/295lbs.
Today he is 6'3.5/6'4 and around 265lbs.
He still is a very 'large' man, very big upper body and his arms are still around 19/20 inches down from his 22 inch peak. dicksock says on 2/Dec/11
Barkley is probably 6'5.5" barefoot. Vegas says on 2/Dec/11

i am not mike or dicksock or eric, i have posted numerous photos of me with wrestlers already on this site and probably live on the other side of the world from those guys, how can a mugshot of barkley be false, well being closer to the camera than the chart for one a low camera another, there were two shots taken, maybe he lost a full inch between shots as he is 6'7 in the other Click Here if barkleys in cowboys there then his barefoot height would be closer to 6'5 flat also read this, robs spends time writing out this pages so its in your interest Click Here
hogan 26 inch arms!!! right ronnie colemans measured 21.5 inches only a week or two after his olympia win in 2004 and thats on video so hogans were nearly 5 inches bigger than his :D hogan was billed 295lb in memphis late 70s and in 1986 a promo from titan direct which was sent out for mania3 had him at 294lb (even though he was still getting billed 303 on tv), 340 is insane when you consider this guy is only getting billed 289 and both he and hogan were listed 6'6 before joining wwe, ryan in uk gladiators (guy on the left obviously) Click Here BigDickMcgee says on 2/Dec/11
Hulk was measured at 6'7 and I take him at his word. There's no reason to believe otherwise. If anything, he'd be half an inch taller because he probably had been awake all day when he went to his parents house. Eric says on 1/Dec/11
Barkley is well known as 6'5. It's easy to look taller in a mugshot when the camera is pointing up instead of being level. Ronster says on 1/Dec/11
Sorry Dicksock, i was confusing you with Mike (AKA Vegas!). Go on and explain how the mugshot of Barkley showing him at 6'8" can be false in any way??? And Dicksock, i said he was a stong 6'7" meaning he was 6'7.5" and that was barefoot. Hogan by the way was 330-340lbs when he was all bulked up in the days of Thunderlips and Terry Boulder, anyone with a set of working eyes can see from a photo how much thicker and bulked up he was then compared to the late eighties when he was down around 300lbs. His arms were at their peak 26" and 23-24" in his prime. Today they are around 20" and his legs are nowhere near the size they were either. Those are just facts buddy, not speculation. drummer777 says on 30/Nov/11
That mugshot of charles barkley has him at 6'8, Hogan said he noticed he was 6'4 just before his dad died, his dad died in 2001. The problem is he was billed 6'6 in 1982 and was shorter than John Studd who is 6'5 or 6'6.
Sid vicious was billed 6'7 in the 80's and Hogan was definitely shorter than a 6'7 Sid back than in the 80's I doubt that what he was refering to when he said "just before his dad died he noticed he was 6'4" back in the 80's His dad died in 2001. Mike says on 29/Nov/11

Hulk Hogan was always very humble about his height and had classic tall man syndrome where he downplayed his height just like 7 footers Bill Walton and Kevin Garnett always did. Even guys like Charles Barkley do it.
Barkley has claimed to by 6'5", 6'4 1/2", 6'4 1/4", and even 6'4" before.
It's classic "tall man syndrome".

You must be stupid or something. Eric, Vegas and myself don't even have anywhere near the same estimates. Did you just choose three random posters? Hogan never said he was a strong 6'7". He just said he was 6'7" when he started training in 1976. He was 23 years old in 1976 so he wouldn't have grown after that. Anyone who thinks Hogan was taller than 6'7" is a fool and that's a fact. At his biggest he was billed at 295lbs and was billed at 295lbs by Wrestlemania III so you can forget about 340lbs or whatever nonsense you think is true. In fact, his most famous billing is 303lbs. Hogan was 6'5.5"-6'6" in his prime. He's 6'4" and about 260lbs tops now. dicksock says on 25/Nov/11
Henry says on 24/Nov/11
Lou Ferrigno was measured @ 6'4 1/2" at age 50. He was over 6'5" peak.
Even after losing all that height, Hogan is still taller.
Peak Lou Ferrigno 6'5 1/4", Hulk Hogan 6'8 1/16".

Please answer me this: How could Hulk Hogan have been 6'8" in his prime if he claims 6'7" for himself?

Big Lou's peak barefoot was 6'4.5" and this was taking & listed during the filming of Pumping Iron in the Mid-70's. Lou competed at 268-275 and would bulk up to about 290 in the off-seasons during the 70's. When he returned to competive Body Building in the early 90's he was HUGE! He competed in the low 300's & bulked up to 320-325 in the off-season. His arms were 22" cold in the 70's & a reported 23.5" cold in the early 90's when he got over 300 lbs. His Chest was 58" relaxed & 60" expanded"....and he was ripped! That is just enormous! 6'4.5" & 310-320 lbs 23" arms a 58"-60" chest! Now Lou at 60 is a weak 6'3" & his posture is'nt what it used to be.. When he stands perfectly straight he's still 6'3.5" Ronster says on 25/Nov/11
Sorry Eric/Dick sock/Vegas or whatever other alias's you use but I am not this Henry who is posting figures much closer to the truth. Hogan said he was 6'7" in his youth, and a as you like to say "strong" 6'7" at that so he was close to 6'8". His weight was well over 300lbs most of his life, he is 280-290 right now when his arms are 3-4" smaller and his legs are 10-15 pounds lighter each. He is over 6'5" and 285lbs right now and was easily over 6'7" and 320 lbs when he was under 34 years old. Those are just simple facts, and i don't go lowering or raising other peoples heights like you all do to make what i say right lol. Gene says on 24/Nov/11
Well Lou has been measured barefoot at 6'5- maxing out at 316. thats a big big man. So, if its true that Hogan was bigger than Lou at that celebrated talk show, then we have to give Hogan at least 6'6 Eric says on 24/Nov/11

LMFAO!!!!!! Henry says on 24/Nov/11
Lou Ferrigno was measured @ 6'4 1/2" at age 50. He was over 6'5" peak.
Even after losing all that height, Hogan is still taller.
Peak Lou Ferrigno 6'5 1/4", Hulk Hogan 6'8 1/16". Henry says on 24/Nov/11
Mason Ryan is at least 3" shorter than Peak Hoan. He also has a much smaller head, shorter arms, thiner arms, shorter and thinner legs, than Hogan, etc.
Hogan has really long arms like a basketball player. His arms are big so people don't realize how long his arms really are. dicksock says on 23/Nov/11

I'm sure that photo you're talking about is to show Hogan's arm size, not his weight. The Hulkster was every bit of that 6'8" 340lbs peak.

A barefoot Terry "Hulk" was never even close to 6'8" & 340.."Never" Barefoot Terry '78-'80 was 6'5.5" & 290-305. From '81-'83 was 6'5.5" 300-305..and '84-'89 he was 6'5.5" & 285-295,. sometimes hitting 300. And early 90's he was 6'5" & 265-280. The mid to late 90's "NWO era" he was 6'4.5" & 255-265. early 2000's 6'4" & 250-265 & mid-2000's 6'3.5" & 245-260. Right now he's right at 6'3.5"-6'3.75" & 245-255...sometimes Terry will hit 265 when he gets lazy & gets his gut back on him. Ali says on 23/Nov/11
I am pretty sure Hulk hogan was under 200cm and above
190cm. Big tall dude. I am guessing he was closer to 200cm
than he was to 190cm. I'll give him 196cm. That is 6'5 I guess. Henry says on 22/Nov/11

Eric, JJ Dillon is not 5'9". I am 5'9.5" had my picture taken with Jerry Lawler who is 5'10". Dillion was taller then Lawler by 1", making him 5'11" The Austin picture with Dillon I feel is easy to explain. Austin likes wearing combat boots which gives extra height. Austin looks close 6'3". Though wearing normal footwear would put at 6'1". Vegas says on 19/Nov/11

James J Dillon is around 5'9 and Hulk was no taller next to JJ than Stone Cold was and I know for a fact Stone Cold is not taller than 6'1 because I met him.

Ok, I'm going to just ignore all of the obvious nonsense in that blog or whatever you posted the link to. Why would Hogan claim that he measured himself at 6'7" barefoot in his parent's house when he started wrestling if he was really 6'8"? Also, why would promoters bill Hogan at 295lbs when he started wrestling if he was 340lbs? Please use common sense. If Hogan claims that he peaked at 6'7", why are you claiming he was 6'8"?

A lot of people thought Chistopher Lloyd was at least 6'3" due to all of The Back To The Future movies & Michael J Fox being so short (5'4") which made Lloyd look very tall. So, Most people assumed he was at least 6'3"...because in the 80's MJ Fox tried to pass himself off as 5'6". But...Chris Lloyd is actually a "weak" 6'1"...6'2" in shoes. Hogan says on 16/Nov/11
