Nice photo. When you take into consideration the tilt in Nathan's favour; he and Matt Morgan look equal in height. 6'10" is close enough although i'd wager that is rounded up slightly (as many men do!).
Timm says on 7/Feb/10
MILO magazine listed Nathan at 6'10.5" in 1995, I could even look up the page number for you.
If nathan is saying 6'10", he may just not be mentioning the last half inch so he easily could be 6'10.5", as people who are say 5'10.5" often just say "five ten".
No way the video with magnus proves anything other than not to side arm-wrestle. No way one could peg him at 1/2" shorter than he says he is by that video, the human eye cannot get something that right reliably that way from a video. I am not ebout to say he and MILO magazine are liars. Shaun says on 6/Feb/10
Samuelsson is a legit 6'6.5" and look it. 6'9.5" would make more sense. mag67 says on 18/Jan/10

Source? You just dropped an opinion without providing link to new information that has not already been discussed.
We have no proof that Nathan is any shorter than he says he is (he has said 6’10” on several occasions himself). We have some WWE videos, backstage that are not of good enough quality to deduce height from, and some videos of him in the ring, which for the similar reasons not much can be gained from (footwear camera angles distance from the camera etc…) where his height seems to vary a lot depending on what shot is clipped from a video. Nothing concrete enough to prove he is lying however.
I do however think Nash should also have a 6'10" “peak” listing for his height, as that is what Nash’s own website lists him at. I doubt he was any taller than Nathan at that in his youth, but I would say about the same. gazzdw says on 23/Aug/09
how is nathan jones listed on here an inch taller than kevin nash!!! nash has about 1.5-2 inches on him, or would of had in his prime tuga says on 20/Aug/09
supermanfan380, I agree, that kind of backstage videos is useless to compare heights.
Jones should be taller than undertaker altough they looked very similar, from what I remember Jones used pretty flat footware... supermanfan380 says on 16/Aug/09
tuga,
That’s a point I have been trying to make about the WWE videos in general.
Not a ton can be gained from viewing them, other than to see these guys are very tall in general. The camera angles of backstage videos often make it difficult for the viewer to tell who has the advantage in being closer to the camera. Stills from in the ring are not a great source of info as the angle of the ring makes guys look taller/shorter in relation to where another man is standing.
What we can say is that all of these men are very tall, but based on the flimsy evidence we have it is not really possible to call someone a liar about their height and post something as proof, when the evidence would not hold up under close scrutiny as being good evidence of anything at all. At least not good enough to be called “proof”.
If we want to prove anything we would need something that shows them being grossly shorter than claimed. There not being an expected difference of 2” could come down to a lot of things. Look at 2” on a ruler. Being only an inch closer to a camera if it is close up already can create the illusion of more than that.
I could find clips from videos paused at the right time to make Sid look taller than Nash for example. It does not mean Sid is taller, but just some shots or some video make him look that way.
As it is, Jones has claimed in several interviews, that he is 6’10”. We have some WWE videos of him looking “around” the height of the Undertaker (he still seemed taller than UT to me), but it is not like we have a barefoot shot of both of the back to back in the same plane with a ruler between their heads.
I am not convinced at all that Jones is lying about it. tuga says on 15/Aug/09

Click Here pause on second 32 of this clip, right as the screen fades out. There Nathan looks several inches taller than UT. In the angles before hand, Nathan's head is so far away from UT's it looks like his head is half the size of UT's, and you will notice that NAthan is looking DOWN at the Undertaker.
Thats right, Nathan looks 2 inches taller than UT, but in the same vid he doesn´t looks like a legit 6´10" with max 7´0" Big Show.
What you´re missing is that first at 32 sec jones is closer to the camera and also look at the corridor walls, the camera favours jones A LOT!
And also big show has a HUGE camera advantage over jones... supermanfan380 says on 1/Aug/09
There are other videos where he does look far closer to the height of Big Show than in that one, many of the videos from the Team Lesnar story BS looks about 2” taller.
Keep in mind, a lot of those backstage videos (and half the ones from the ring as well)are choppy evidence at best, and certainly not proof. In that video, with BS and Albert, he looked the same height as Albert as well, likely due to the position each guy was standing in relation to the camera, and the lens itself was practically fish eyed. If he looked more than 2" shorter than BS there and the same as Albert, it was likely due to those other factors. In other videos in and out of the ring, he towered over Albert.
Also if you are putting him at 6'9", or 6'9.5", and you take into account his morning waking height, you may as well add an 1" or even 1.5" to that, and that would be 6'10” or even 6'11".
The biggest factors in my believing his 6'10" height is that on a couple of occasions Jones himself states 6'10", and regardless of there being both evidence to support or to discount it, I have seen no proof he is shorter than that. I will take his word for it.
To me proof would be a head to toe shot, of him standing straight with someone else of known height, standing in the exact same posture and plane, and there being a gross difference between what is claimed for him and the other person. If he looks an inch or half inch off from the claimed height, then that is still way to close to accuse him of lying about it. Red says on 1/Aug/09

He was in Prison in the early 1990's, at that time Growth Hormone use was very rare, as it had to come from cadavers, and was even dangerous as it could carry diseases. When I say expensive and rare, I mean to the point that its rarity and cost would have made it impossibly prohibitive to the means of someone like him in Prison.
He may have been using regular run of the mill Anabolic Androgenic Steroids, but this likely would have not increased his height. He may have been lucky and just kept on growing. It has not been proven, due to ethics in studies, as no scientist is going to get a grant to administer large doses of AAS to teenagers. There is a theory none the less, that AAS could in some cases shut off or slow vertical growth in height, and would at the best not increase vertical height.
Jones has admitted to being a steroid user as a teen, and even tried to use it as the cause of his bad behavior during his trail.
Many years later, as an Adult, Nathan has changed his story to saying that he made it up in a bid for a more lenient sentence. He said, because steroids were in the news so much at the time in the early 1990’s, and that because he “looked like” a steroid user and had a high level of testosterone on his own, he hoped they would buy his story. Unfortunately for him in the end it didn’t work out for him.
That being said, his physique after he got out of Prison and was competing in WSM and the World Strength championships as well, and even since then in movies like Troy and Fearless is definitely in the league of what I would expect from a guy who is using AAS. Yaspaa says on 22/Jun/09
Nathan Jones did not reach 6'10 by taking growth hormone,he would have used that for his strength training. Henri says on 21/Jun/09
Nathan Jones is 6ft 10" and he got that way from taking growth hormones whilst in jail for armed robbery in Brisbane Australia. This is on his own admission before a Senate committee investigating drugs in jails. supermanfan380 says on 15/Jun/09
Electric Shock,
the pic you got of Nathan and UT makes UT's head look far bigger than Nathan's, to the point of being evidence that UT was closer to the camera. Nathan's arm is extended more and the rope is in UT's arm pit. The videa that was taken from uses very odd angles, where telling the height difference of either is very hard, as anything closer to the camera angle looks far bigger.
Many of the WWE vids use odd angles. Often when the camera is to a wrestlers back, they seem to tower over the person they are near, but if you try to use same plane scaling, you would be wrong, as they are not in the same plane. If that were the case, then one guy has a head 3" taller than the other, and unless we are talking about Andre, that just is not the case.

Anyway,what the hell has Sylvia got to do with shootfighting. Yaspaa says on 5/Jun/09
Sylvia isn't 2" shorter Electric Shock says on 5/Jun/09
Also, shoot fighting isn't any more reliable than Pro Wrestling for heights. They say Tim Sylvia's 6'8", and he's two inches shorter than Undertaker. Giant Silva has been billed 7'6.5" in a shoot match and he's about 7' even. Electric Shock says on 4/Jun/09
Ben, the answer is in the half inches. I get Nash 2.5" taller than Sid.
Yaspaa, you've yet to show any evidence of Taker and Nathan Jones which shows Nathan Jones anymore than an inch taller than Taker. There is also no significant proof that Nathan Jones is anything over 6'9". The Ben says on 4/Jun/09
Hmmm then seeing sid and nash together there is no 3 inch height difference... Its all to confusing!.. The Ben says on 4/Jun/09
Jones is one person who has consistently been billed at 6'10... From worlds strongest man (anyone know how accurate their billings are) to hollywood and WWE....
I am inclined to think that jones is 6'10... He looks as tall as nash to me, he always looks taller then taker and kane.
He was taller then matt morgan...
Jones 6'10
nash 6'10
taker 6'8
kane 6'8
sid 6'7 Yaspaa says on 4/Jun/09
That pic from the Jones training shows Taker in the best light,height wise. Electric Shock says on 3/Jun/09
Show me one piece of footage or video that suggests Nathan Jones is more than an Inch taller than The Undertaker. Yaspaa says on 3/Jun/09
In or around the ring proof... is no proof at all but to tag along,what about the A-train/Taker faceoff? I was disagreeing with your opinion on their height difference,6'9 to bed.
You have big hearts in the eyes Undertaker love which is obscuring your cognitive functions into believing that the difference between Taker and Jones is only an inch......Undertaker...I...wuv you. Electric Shock says on 3/Jun/09
I never said under 6'9"!
I said Nathan Jones is 6'9.25". That'd be over 6'9". I said under 6'10". Unlike you I don't believe Undertaker is 6'7.5", and I've proven repeatedly that he's over 6'8". Jones is 1 inch taller than Taker which makes him 6'9"-6'9.5". Yaspaa says on 2/Jun/09
How do you explain the Conan Stevens pics?,give me some proof of Taker not in a ring setting there is nothing real about those events so why use them for evidence and you cant say 'even boots' because you dont know. All I know is he looks close to 6'10,his limbs look really long and he was easily taller than Samuelsson and there was no ring attire there. He was given a 6'9 at Pride FC and I'm going with that being his minimum. The Ben says on 1/Jun/09
Jones always looked 6'10 to me. He looked to have 2 inches on the dead man...
I'd love to see jones stood with nash... I believe they would be eye to eye. Electric Shock says on 31/May/09
Yaspaa, Nathan Jones eyes are only an inch and a half max over Taker's. Taker has a substantial forehead. As for footwear, they were both wearing even boots.
Nathan Jones is NOT 6'10". He's barely hanging onto 6'9". Undertaker is 6'8.25", given that he's a half an inch taller than Kane. Yaspaa says on 29/May/09
You cant see the top of Taker's head properly in that shot,Nathan's shoulders,neck and eyes are closer to 2" above Taker's and whats the footwear like? he was listed at 6'9 on Pride FC. Electric Shock says on 21/May/09

@Lebowski, so you think everyone is wrong with 6'9" as minimum? The whole world is wrong exept you:p. Jones stated himself to be 6'10". In various strongman competitions he is bill 6'10. Yaspaa says on 14/Feb/09
4 inches shorter? 6'7-6'8 is what is way off the mark,it's actually silly. 7ish inches taller than arnie whilst having the most relaxed posture ever. 6'9.5 is the starting bid for this guy. Lebowski says on 13/Feb/09
There is no way Nathan Jones is 6'10 if you take a look at this video, where he attacks the big show (6'11).
If you stop the video at 0:37 you clearly see he is a good 4 inches shorter than the Big Show. If you stop it at 0:59, he appears to be 7 inches taller than Arnold Schwarzenegger. Both ways...he appears to be no taller than 6'7 to 6'8. 6'10 is really way off the mark.

I believe nathan jones is 6'10. Which IMO puts taker at around 6'9 in ring gear ( 6'7.5 - 6'8 ) barefoot. It seems alot of people on here downgrade wrestlers heights but over exaggerate actors heights?!?
Either way theyre both massive guys supermanfan380 says on 3/Nov/08
gazz the height of both guys varies a LOT in that video. It was filmed with very distorted angles, and depending on what guy is closer to the camera at any frame they go back and forth so much it is hard to tell anything from it. Predator says on 1/Nov/08
You make some valid points about his height, supermanfan280. He probably doesn't realy care. But anyway, he's HUGE.
And I don't know if the 320 kg dl was his PL record or in stronman 1996. I think it might be in 1996, because is was listed in a strongman book. Sons of Samson vol.2
So yeah, maybe his PL deadlift was realy near 900 lbs. gazz says on 1/Nov/08
has nathan even got 1.5 on taker, that training video they look pretty identical in height, takers head is so long but his eye level is lower. supermanfan380 says on 31/Oct/08
I forgot to mention a couple things in the last post. Jones has said himself “six foot ten” on a number of occasions, and interviews. I doubt he is any shorter than that, and I actually think the subject is not a big deal to him. Guys as tall as him rarely ever meet people taller than themselves. He could likely count on 1 hand the amount of men taller than himself he has met, and still have a thumb to spare.
When he says “six foot ten” he could technically be 6’10”, OR 6’10½” OR even 6’10¾ ”. Because the subject is not a big deal to him, he could also just be saying the closest inch that he is over, but is not even bothering to list the extra ½” or ¾” inch.
That and we do not know what kind of time of day he is talking about either. I doubt he has ever really had himself carefully measured, and likely does Not put much thought into “how tall am I right now?” If he was measured at a doctors office at 4:00pm a couple years ago, at 210cm or 211cm, then he just figures “that’s about six foot ten”, and does not put any more thought into it than that, except to say “six ten” when he is asked. If that is the case, he could actually be over 6’11” when he rolls out of bed in the morning too, so RLC may not be exaggerating if that is what they mean.
Anyhow, I think it would be unwise to list him at anything shorter than 6’10”, when his own testimony put him at that height, on multiple occasions, and the only evidence to the contrary is questionable at best. Anecdotal evidence would not hold up in a court of law, and neither would half the pictures that are presented on this site. Most are from bad camera angles, using forced perspective for the purposes of selling a guy as either an underdog, or overwhelming odd in an environment known for exaggerations, and theatrics. supermanfan380 says on 31/Oct/08
Predator, do you know if that DL was in 1996? If it was from the heat that he came in 3rd, that was the year right after his arm break. He had less than 6 months to train leading up to that contest.
His arm had to be fully healed before he could train it again. For example: in that heat his SQ was 285 kg, o 627 pounds. This was a way past parallel squat, deep squat. He failed at 310 kg, or 682 pounds. Numbers like those are NOT what got him to being the Australian Powerlifting Champion. Keep in mind however, that was only 6 months of training after letting his arm heal. Before his injury He was likely putting up over 100 more pounds on every lift.
Even if that was before his arm break, you have to consider that he is extremely tall. 711 DL is very very good for any one over 6'6", and we know that regardless of exactly how tall he is, 6'6" is still short next to him.
As far as him saying 6’10” himself, it is possible he did the math wrong. He is used to the metric system, and if you convert 211cm by say 2.57 you get 6’10 in stead of 6’11. Supposed to use 2.54. Anonymous says on 30/Oct/08
It's not weird when you consider that Khali is usually mentioned "over 7 feet tall" when they could be precise on at least some 3 extra inches. Why are they rounding it below?Well, They are not always trying to impress you, you know!?
Anyway, back on the Nathan-Sid comparisson. Is there any recent pic of both men standing straight, no walking cane, no street shoes... next to each other? I don't think nathan has as much advantage as the video makes believe. Predator says on 29/Oct/08
Well, I dunno either is it's realy RLC posting here. But I doubt it cause here they say he's 6'11, ,while he is always billed as 6'10. Thats a bit weird I think. And I found that his max DL was 320 kg. Thats 711 lbs. His SQ and BP can be right, because he was a good powerlifter. So his SQ and BP had to be high to compensate his DL. 320 kg still is a lot, but I dunno if it's enough to become a powerlifting champ. I don't now if that is true either, but I do know that his strenght was mostly in his upper body. Chest and arms. supermanfan380 says on 28/Oct/08
Predator, RLC Motion Pictures really is Nathan's management company. I don't know if it is really RLC posting here. Even if they are legit, they may not know what Nathan's old powerlifting records from 1995 are. Honestly, with the low level of popularity that sports like that have. I think there is an old score card sitting in the rusting file cabinet of an old grungy gym. That was also Nathan in his late 20s. These days he is close to 40, and so those feats are not his current lifts anyway. This is not official, I cannot prove it, but on several powerlifting boards, a few years ago, Nathan's lifts were supposedly around 700 BP, 800 SQ, and 900 DL. Only one rep each, and with equipment like a squat/deadlift suit, and a bench shirt for the bench. None of those were world records, even in 1995, but the combined total of 2400 or so was what made Nathan the Australian National Powerlifting Champion.
Like I said, I could not find proof of those numbers either. Take them with a grain of salt. Likely RLC does not have access to the forgotten rusting old gym cabinet either (if anyone knows where it is). The only thing RLC could do is ask Nathan if those numbers I posted are correct, and take his word for it if he says “yes”. supermanfan380 says on 24/Oct/08
RLC, how is Nathan's left arm doing after the cement truck hit him? Is it permanently damaged, or does hejust have to give it a few months to heal and then hit the gym to rebuild it? Predator says on 17/Oct/08
Well then, if you are his management compagny, why is he always billed 6'10? It's a bit stupid to bill him shorter as he is. So....I don't realy believe you actually. (if you realy are his management compagy, what's his DL, BP and SQ then? Don't exargerate them)
He's 6'9 or 6'10. RLC Motion Pictures says on 15/Oct/08
We are Nathan's management company and can assure everyone that Nathan stands barefoot at 6 feet 11 inches or 211 centimeters. Red says on 10/Oct/08
I´m sure that Taker had much bigger boots than Nathan, 6´8.0" is my maximum for barefoot peak Taker. Nathan´s 6´10" listing at this site is spot on. Anonymous says on 1/Oct/08
Taker is 6'8", and there only seemed to be an inch or maybe an inch and a half between jones and taker in 2003. So nathan jones is either 6'9" or 6'9.5", or maybe taker is adding an inch to his height with some huge boots or something which is possible since taker probably didnt want to look "short" next to nathan.

I think Nathan and Nash would be the same peak height. Nathan slouches often even with big people like Undertaker he doesn´t stretch out everything. Steve says on 19/Sep/08

yeah only u think that jimmy. Jimmy says on 17/Sep/08
Red, that video plays a little trick on you there. Nathan is still taller than Sid, but the video makes it look more significant than it really is. First of all, the angle favours Nathan through most of the vid. Second, if you search for another video that shows the arrival of Sid at the event, you'll notice that Sid wears thin street shows (while Nathan wears regular wrestling boots wich are higher). Nathan has maybe 1.5 inches on Sid, the video makes it look like 2.5 inches or so. Norton K says on 11/Sep/08

NathanW,
That video is about the worst possible to discern the height of either of them, compared to each other or anything else for that matter. The camera is at an angle pointing downward, Not nearly level, and odd camera seems to make anything even slightly closer to itself appear gigantic, while anything in the background looks tiny.
Notice how if either of them are even just slightly closer to the camera than the other, they appear to TOWER over the other, and then in the next instant be DWARFED by them.
The angles in that particular video are significantly worse than most wrestling videos, and a lot of them have bad angles to begin with.
As I said before, you would need to show me a level picture, head to toe, barefoot next to another very tall person of a known height to convince me otherwise. Too much evidence puts him at 6’10”spot on.
You would really need them to be close together too, as 6'8" and 6'10" are very close in height, and footwear, camera angle, hair or bald, and posture can all easily conceal or exaggerate 2-3".
1 video with extremely bad angles, showing a guy who to me appears 2" shorter than Jones, and would be if UT is around 6'8", does little to convince me that Jones is anything under 6'10". NathanW says on 26/Jul/08
Click Here
Jones has bout an inch or so on taker, id give him 6 8 - 6 8.5 Supermanfan380 says on 16/Jul/08
In person Magnus is a monster 6'6.5" easily. In the videos with Nathan and UT, Nathan did look taller, and the angles were really weird a lot too. Later as part of team Lesnar, he only looked about 2" shorter than the BigShow in the ring at the beginning of the match, and Jone’s boots did not look like they had lifts in them either.
It would take some very concrete evidence to convince me that Jones is anything south of 6'10". I would need to see a level picture, head to toe, barefoot next to another very tall person of a known height to convince me otherwise. Too much evidence puts him at 6’10”spot on.
That being said, Nathan’s build had a tend to Yo-Yo. In early 2003 he was only 295-300 pounds, and then he went to OVW for about 4 months and came back at around 350 easily. He looked 50 pounds heavier. My guess is a good steroid cycle for those 4 months. Think about it, a typical 220 pound BBr will gain 30 pounds off of a good cycle if they have been off for a very long time. For a guy who is naturally 300, 340-350 is about what one would expect after an 16 week cycle. Especially if the WWE provides 100% bodybuilding coached instruction in OVW. Drexyl says on 14/Jul/08
There's a good video somewhere of Jones arm wrestling a legit 6,6.5" Magnus Samuelsson. Judging by that I'd say 6,10" was spot on. agshedhdhhfd says on 18/Jun/08
nate is 6'10 350 lbs Supermanfan380 says on 12/May/08
Mattiew,
That is a tough call, being that no picture of the two togetehr, barefoot for that matter, at a level angle, and equal distance from the camera, really cannot say for certain that Nash is taller than Jones.
Wearing flats, clearly evident, when UT had cowboy type boots on, Jones still looked a little taller than UT, but if you consider the different footwear.
When Nash was paired with UT at Wrestlemania, Nash was the one wearing the thicker footwear, and at the time, UT was not wearing the biker/cowboy boots that he later was wearing durring the Jones angle, 8 years later.
Both of those references, are totally scewed, as boot thickness, bad angles can severly scew the way wrestlers look in height. There are pictures with Jones looking within 2" of the Bigshow, and some where he looks 5" shorter, with angles clearly giving the advantage to show. The same has been seen with Nash and BigShow (Giant) in WCW. I remember there being times the two looks only 2" appart, and other a half foot.
Personally I think Jones is a solid 6'10", and that Nash used to be a solid 6'10", and is now with all his injuries closer to 6'9". Nash is a lot older than Jones, but I think the peak for Nash was spot on the same as Jone's current. Mattiew_- says on 6/May/08
I find it odd that this site Nathan Jones at a 6'10 height , while it has Kevin Nash at 6'9 ...
Kevin is obviously as tall if not taller than Nathan Jones ... Predator says on 5/May/08
Who would win in a real fight? Nathan jones vs Big Daddy V or Khali? And does anyone knows ho much he can deadlift bench and squat? And does anyone thinks he is stronger than Mark Henry or Khali? I think he is stronger than both. shawn says on 25/Mar/08
Huge, he is 6'10, i have saw this guy when he was in wwe with matt morgan who is a giant too like 6'10 also, i am 6'4 and these guys were a lot taller than me i also met bradshaw who is 6'7. Predator says on 19/Feb/08
Maybe it wouldn't be bad if he used heavy weights for just a few years. Maybe until he is 42. But in the Asterix movie he doesn't look very lean anymore but stil very strong. (not as strong as before)
And he is 6 foot 10 indeed. Supermanfan380 says on 18/Feb/08
He "could" get his strength back, but he is not into the heavy weights anymore, and does not want to hold a bodyweight of 350 either, as even if it is all muscle, it is too heavy to be healthy. These days he looks about 300 pounds, and is less cut, however he does look "healthy". look up the "asterix at the olympics" interview with him on youtube.
He still looks 6'10"+, especailly next to normal sized people. Predator says on 16/Feb/08
You are right about the boots. He is a 6 foot 10 monster.
He had flat boots indeed.
But do you think he would do it good in MMA or UFC. But he is not to old to get his 1995 strength back. He is 37. And Phil Pfister won the WSM in 2006. He was 35 at the time. So I think he can get his 1995 strength back. Supermanfan380 says on 16/Feb/08
I think he is a little old to have his 1995 strength back. He did win the world strength championships at the highland games then. That is a different contest than the WSM, with similar events.
Bakc to the height subject, as evidence that Nathan Jones had "flats" boots see this video: Click Here
His feet look very flat there, and that is a sharp difference with the way Kane's boots look. There is No "wedge" under Jone's feet. Alex says on 15/Feb/08
265lbs is the max weight in the UFC? I didn't know that. I don't think I've seen a superheavyweight fight in UFC yet.
Whats the cruiserweight range? 190-210lbs? I'd be in that range at 200lbs. Predator says on 12/Feb/08
265 is the weightlimit of ufc for heavyweight. But for Super heavyweight there is no limit. And do you think he will do it good in UFC. I think he will. After some strenght training, so that he has his WSM 1995 strengt again, and his 2 blackbelts. He will do it very good. mma fan says on 12/Feb/08
there was no weight limit in heavy weight devision in pride(pride does not exist anymore). UFC heavy weight devision has weight limit of 265. Brock lesnar had to cut a bit to make 265, he weighted 274 few days before the weigh in. Supermanfan380 says on 11/Feb/08
UFC weight limit is 265, is it not? Predator says on 11/Feb/08
The pride fight was a fake fight also. In real life he would have defeated that slow sumo wrestler. He is also a black belt in 2 martial arts... so he would do fine in the ufc. But maybe it is better if he returned to wsm and the ufc, so that he has more power. nobody says on 10/Feb/08
Jones would be crap in the ufc, he fought in pride and got subbed quick by a summo wrestler, he and Lesnar should stick to fake fighting(wwe) Supermanfan380 says on 8/Feb/08
If Jones were to return, first thing they would do is send him back to OVW to get back in shape.
He is not in the kind of shape he was in from novermber of 2003 through 2004 anymore, where he was around 330-340 pounds and very lean too.
These days he looks about 300 even, and about 16% bodyfat, as he has not been training much with weight anymore, as he understands the risks of being 300+ pounds.
I dunno, if he comes back, they would likely want him to come back in the same shape he was in from Nov 2003. When he came back to TV from OVW the first time, I was like "what happened to him!?!", he looked 40 pounds heavier than he was durring the Undertaker angle. Big Show says on 6/Feb/08
Click Here
Predator, it's featured on several wrestling news boards that Jones might return to the WWE. Nothing is confirmed yet though! Predator says on 4/Feb/08
I am not sure, but I think he is a blackbelt in Mau Thai, and some form of Karate, maybe Taekwondo.
But I am not sure, I thought I've read it on internet.
And in one video on youtube they said he could lift more than 3 times his own body mass. He was aout 330 pounds. So that is 990 pounds.
And Big Show, how do you know he might return to WWE.
I would love to see hem wrestle again, but it would also be cool if he returned to WSM again.
On youtube is a video "asterix at the olympics". You can see him on part 2.He is not very lean anymore. Big Show says on 4/Feb/08
Apparently Nathan Jones is in talks with WWE again about a possible return. Most wrestling journalists are not so thrilled about it, as they call Jones one of the least talented wrestlers the WWE ever had. Supermanfan380 says on 2/Feb/08
Nathan is too heavy for UFC, and he does not stay in shape year round any more either. He still over 300 pounds however, not the ripped 330 he was for Troy, and not even close to the 350+ he was for WSM, but he is still way over the UFC limit of 265 pounds.
Predator, what martial arts does he have blackbelts in? And where did you hear he can lift "more than" 400kg? So far as I know 400 even was his best ever deadlift of only 1 rep too. Alex2 says on 30/Jan/08
Nathan is truly a guy you wouldnt wanna mess with lol, he should try for UFC like Lesnar maybe. Predator says on 27/Jan/08
Nathan is 6 10. And he can deadlift more than 400 kilo's. And he is a blackbelt in 2 martial arts. cantstop25 says on 23/Jan/08
people alwasy say nathan wore small boots bu he reall didnt at least not when he was on team lesnar JimmyDavid says on 22/Jan/08
So... I am still waiting to know of at least one person who truly believes that Jones has 4 inches on Sid... Anyone?? I think we all know it's impossible. Nash himself never had that much height over Sid. I really wanted the chance to see them both in the same ring one day to prove my point... Anonymous says on 21/Jan/08
its because undertaker uses pretty thick heels on his shoes nathan jones doesnt brother_h says on 21/Jan/08
nathan never wore big shoes. her wore dress shoes and fitting boots, he never wore lifts.
thats why he looked as tall as bigshow but as short(ish) as undertaker. Red says on 20/Jan/08
I think Nathan is not 6´10" more a flat 6´9" and 6´10" in shoes because he never looked as tall as 6´10.5" Nash in comparison to 6´8" Undertaker Alex2 says on 19/Jan/08
JP, it confuses me alos, that is why i sometimes think Taker might be 6'9 Anonymous says on 17/Jan/08
If they ever make a movie about the video game "God of war" i think they should ask Jones to play the part...
I have noticed (not sure if anyone else did too) this site puts NJ at full 4 crazy inches above Sid Eudy. There is something really wrong here. It could never be true. Either one of the given heights must be wrong. JP says on 16/Jan/08
Has anybody noticed that Nathan Jones always looked the same height as the Undertaker, who is believed by many to be 6"7 or 6"8!!! I never really saw a 2 inc difference between the two!!! Supermanfan380 says on 13/Jan/08
I could be wrong on this, because it has been a while since I read it, and it was in a magazine (milo 1996?) like a decade ago, maybe a little more, but it said his BP was 275 kg, DL was 400 kg, and his SQ was 360 kg. You can convert that to the English system if you want.
None of those lifts would be WR’s today, but were supposed to be the continental highest total of 1035 kg at the time.
I do not know if that was exaggerated or not. If someone cares to look up Australia’s powerlifting records for 1995 and 1996 to verify it. Bubba says on 11/Jan/08
I thing he's about 6 foot 9. Does anyone know how much he could deadlift, bench press and squat.
Thanks. brother_h says on 23/Dec/07
im 185cm, in new zealand thats 6'1. i could nearly see over JT's head. he is 5'10.
and Matt morgan at 6'8?...well its hard to tell with this guy, alot of his vids show him wearing very thin shoes though. 6'9 for matt morgan.
Nathan jones is a big dude, if hes 6'8(as said by viper) then that will make tony jaa on the protector 5'4. jaa is 5'6 in real life.
and i have seen jones in person aswell, he is big, slighty bigger than my brother(6'6) Alex says on 21/Dec/07
I'd give Jones 6'9 and Matt Morgan at least 6'8.
Justin Timberlake is 6'0-6'0 1/2. Jason says on 19/Dec/07
Brother H, I've seen Jones in person ... I don't think he's quite as tall as 6'9''. Justin Timberlake at 5'10''? Sure you're not taller than you think? I would say he's about 6'0'' - maybe 5'11 1/2'' - though, never seen him. I've read on here he has bad posture. Damian Mavis says on 17/Dec/07
Just posting here because someone doubted my height and just wanted to clear that up. I'm the "lil guy" between Nathan and Conan in the pics linked below. I am ALMOST 5 foot 10, more like 5 foot nine and a half (180 cm).
Also I'd like to say that both Conan and Nathan are really nice guys, no attitudes or arrogance. It was a pleasure working with Nathan and with Conan again.

Electric Shock says on 6/Dec/07
Nathan Jones is not 6'10". He is 6'9.25" maximum. He's only about half an inch taller than The Undertaker.
he's close to 6'10 if hes 6'9.25
i reckon he is 6'10 aswell, everyone says it, he says it, looking at him says it comparing him with other people says it.
he was even taller than matt morgan on wwe and about an inch taller than undertaker, who btw both made a cool team.
and jason, newspapers say alot of **** that famous people tell them, nathan jones isnt exactly famous but doesnt mind being famous.
JT is 5'10. i know coz i met him and im 6'1. Jason says on 7/Dec/07

Lol obviously he makes him look tiny, jaa is only about 5 ft 6 or so(but still cool)haha.oh yeah and it looks like theres a few other big wrestlers in it too.heidenreich maybe? gotta love good ol NATHAN though lol.
how many other 6 ft 10 wrestlers do u know who,can do spin kicks and stuff. Supermanfan380 says on 24/Sep/07
Your right Rusty, jones is not in that kind of shape anymore. Warrior king is a cool movie. Yeah Jones's character goes down, being that he plays the a villian, but he does make Jaa look tiny. Rusty james says on 24/Sep/07
just saw those pictures of jones and that other bloke,doesnt look like he was in wwe. Rusty james says on 24/Sep/07
yeah but have u seen the "warrior king" with tony jaa,he's only little and he throws nathan around and everything.it's cool. Supermanfan380 says on 21/Sep/07
He is right, and it is well known that your spine expands at night, so height is never consistent for anyone.
Check yourself right out of bed, and you will be over 6’6”, more like 6’7” and some change.
People of average height, and in good spinal health will expand about ½” to 1” at night, and really tall people, over 6’6” will usually expand about 1” to 1.5” but the extra height will be gone within about 2 hours of waking up.
Most of the wrestlers being compared are NOT from pictures taken at their house, having their morning coffee, but are from when they are at an event, usually afternoon, so they have already been “compressed”.
Jones says he is 6’10”, and has said he is 6’10” on multiple occasions. WSM listed him as 6’10”. Jones was taller than 6’7” Magnus by a solid 3”-4”. Sometimes the WWE would announce him at 7ft, yet other times 6’10” possibly because Nathan kept on saying such (and its hard to say a guy is 7ft when he keeps yapping 6’10” to everyone).
I will take that all into consideration, and say a solid 6’10” and possibly some change for Nathan Jones. I would guess his weight around 300 pounds when he was first in WWE, and 330-340 pounds after he got back from OVW (think “team Lesnar” if you don’t remember). Tower66 says on 9/Sep/07
I met Jones at an airport back in 2004. By far the tallest 'muscular guy' I ever saw in person. I'm 6-6, and when I asked him how tall her was he said "6-10 in my barefeet, but even taller when I wake up".
Seeing him in person is crazy. He is not normal. I lift weights but I am still skinny, and he is a gorilla, but he was much taller than me. I felt not only short but like a toothpick too. Alex says on 25/Aug/07
You lose more height in the day when you're working a physical job or working out with weights. Thats why I lose a full inch throughout the day. Jason says on 22/Aug/07
Lugging around all that extra muscle gained from heavy weightlifting and you know what else wouldn't be conductive to longevity for anyone, let alone him. Not to mention consuming thousands of calories en masse. Good to hear he's made the right decision for his long term health. Obviously a smart bloke -- I've read one of his hobbies is building computers! Supermanfan380 says on 21/Aug/07
I heard a rummor that Jones is now actively trying to lose muscle mass, and allowing himself to be at about 16-18% bodyfat, and does not even shave his hair any more.
Supposed reason for it is being 300+ pounds and ripped is not very healthy, and a lot of the bigger guys, Pro Wrestlers, and WSM competitors have been kicking the bucket lately.
I think if he just kept the weights to a minimum, stayed clean, and did a decent (yet still moderate) amount of cardiovascular exercise, then he may live a decent amount more.
Problem still comes with height.
You just don’t see anyone > 6’6” in eldery homes, or lake homes, or. Florida, or wherever you go when you are over 75 yrs old, you just don’t see big people there.
So I understand if he wants to live long, training like a powerlifter, or bodybuilder, is only going to make him bigger, and that is counter productive to longevity. At least for a Giant like him. Dave says on 14/Aug/07
6'10 is fair for jones, give or take an inch... at that height alot of it is down to posture.... either way, he could pass for 6'10 ANY day.... even if hes only 6'8-6'9... he has a 6'10 look about him besides... if he stands straight he isnt much shorter than big show, and hes a shade taller than a supposed 6'9-6'10 matt morgan (remember matt had spikey hair and jones was bald, yet jones still looked taller) Icehole73 says on 8/Aug/07
I just looked at the photo of Conan and Jones. Conan looks short for a 7 footer next to Jones. When next to the Undertaker, Jones looks about 6'9.5. Just my opinion and I'd give him 6'10". Jason says on 8/Aug/07
The page doesn't seem to work now, but I think it said he stopped lifting weights all together. LV says on 7/Aug/07

( Click Here). Mattiew says on 31/Jul/07
Nathan Jones is 208cm tall .
He was billed at 208cm when he was doning strongman and looked so next to 200cm Maguns Samuelsson .
He may have shrunk a bit over years but I can't see him under 6'9 now ( though I think 6'10 is still a fair estimation) kenneth says on 28/Jul/07
oh this big dude looks 7ft in e movie when he ran out.. looks 6ft8~6ft9 in wwe & in real life looks only a 6ft8 big guy.. Supermanfan380 says on 26/Jul/07
I never thought that UT was 350, ever, but with bodyfat, sure. Jones had bigger muscles than UT EVER had, and he was billed at 330, but in interviews said 295-300. Has has said he has been as heavy as 350 when he was not really ripped though at the time he had more of a powerlifters build. No six pack at that weight but strong as all hell. Ben says on 25/Jul/07
Jones appears 6,10" to me, seems to be around 330lbs. I remember reading an interview with the undertaker in 99 or 2000 where he was talking about his ministry of darkness days and saying he was out of shape and got upto 350lbs, he's cut up alot since then and looks 280ish. 350s not ridiculous for a guy 6,7 or 6,8...And he's a lot bigger when you stand next to him, i met him in 94 when he looked thin on tv and he a huge bone structure and a giant head that made him appear smaller, theres so many variables to take into account when guessing hight and weight. meathead320 says on 4/Jul/07
So couldn't Matt have been 5" taller than your friend? I mean you got this thing down to 0.5" which is kind of a small increment.
Then there is the fact that most people are another full inch taller, especially tall people, right when they wake up from bed.
So given that, Morgan could be 6’8.5” which I will call 6’9” as estimating within 0.5” is ridiculous, and when he gets out of bed 6’10” or very close to it.
Taller people also have a smaller% of height for an inch, so a 6’10” and 6’4” guy, 6” will look like less than 6” in a picture, as 6” for them is a smaller% of their height than ours. Vegas says on 4/Jul/07
i'm 5'11 barefoot. well i estimated morgan first standing up next to him. I first got a pic with him; then i estimated him next to my friends (he was approx 4.5" taller than my 6'4 friend) and then i was talking to him for a while (nice guy)
There was a basketball team in the same hotel at the very same time (first time i ever met cheerleaders, lol) and i can't remember any of them being taller than morgan, (they all passed by him because he was standing in the one spot for about 20 minutes)
Morgan didn't have wrestling boots on btw, it would have looked funny if he did though :) meathead320 says on 3/Jul/07
How tall are you, Vegas?
You may have met Morgan, but did you measure him? That, and it is hard to tell which of them is close to the camera in a picture that does not show their feet.
If they have wrestling boots on, then it can be very hard to tell who is what barefoot.
Like I said before, I will give these guys the benefit of the doubt until I see concrete proof, like a mugshot (unaltered) of them being shorter. Vegas says on 3/Jul/07
hi meathead good to hear from you man. you have been the source of a bit of controversy on this site, not least from me for a while now ;)
personally i don't believe nathan jones is a full 6'10. I met matt morgan face-to-face (the pictures have been posted; i will post the video in the next few days) and he was around the 6'8 mark in sneakers but not quite 6'9 (6'8.25-6'8.5). Jones was about 0.5" taller than Morgan based on photos of the two outside of the ring (i have a number and will post them tomorrow).
I first saw Jones in November 2001 at the WWA event where the guy announced him as 7'1 and he looked like a monster from the barrier. When he joined the WWE he did not look impressive (height wise) at all though, i was expecting him to tower guys like the undertaker (especially seeing as he towered the supposed 6'7 Magnus Samuelsson) but he didn't.
meathead320 there is a big problem with second hand accounts. My friend for example is 6'4 (claims 6'5 himself) and thinks everyone is shorter than him. When he met kane he told all his friends he was about the same height or no more than 1" shorter than kane. Of course i had the photos and the videos to prove there was 3". meathead320 says on 3/Jul/07
One of the big problems I have found with the way we are getting our heights estimated, is that we have been playing the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game to determine height. "so and so is such tall compared to who, and so they must be this tall compared to so and so, and this is their real height". Not very good math because we can loose or gain a full inch every time we do that. meathead320 says on 3/Jul/07
I meant never seen a picture with any one "taller" than himself. "shorter" was a typo. ;-/) meathead320 says on 3/Jul/07
Vegas summons me?
Surprising to some but I have re-considered my stance on Jones’s height. There are several reasons for it, but not least of which was meeting seeing people he has been compared to in person, not he himself, but a couple guys I have seen in pictures with them, who I know the height of. My Wife’s cousin is 6’6”, legit, and he has met Jones, he said Jones towered over himself. I know that will not hold weight with the people here, but I have to say that I will give Jones 6’10” until I see concrete proof he is shorter.
Around a year ago I e-mailed Conan Stevens asking about Jone’s height, seeing as I had never met Jones before, and one of the people I got his height estimate from has a personal beef with Jones. According to Stevens, Jones is about 2” shorter than he himself is.
I have never saw a picture of Stevens with any one shorter than himself, and now I have been told by other sources that Jones is taller than I pegged him at. Sometimes I was too conservative, and I will just give the guy the benefit of the doubt now until I see real proof of him being shorter.
The guy who told me that Jones was more like 6’6” had a personal problem with Jones because of the way he exited the wrestling business, and Ben had been part of it at one time as well. He hates Jones. So any info I got from him would be severely undercutting Jones any way. I learned to never get info about a guys stats from someone who dislikes him. That is not a good way to get objective information. Vegas says on 3/Jul/07
that first photo conan has uploaded with 5'10 listed Damian Mavis is interesting. If Mavis is a legit 5'10 (which i don't think he is looking at that photo) both jones and stevens comes out at approx 6'11.5" or so.
Mavis looks alot shorter next to jones than i did next to morgan Jason says on 3/Jul/07
He says he's 214cm on his site but claimed 212cm here in Australia when he was ''7-foot Thunder''. He's neither. Vegas says on 3/Jul/07
i wonder what our friend meathead320 will make of these photos??
meathead has been going on and on about how jones is only 6'6 and stevens is a legit 7'0, well i for one don't see 6" there; its 1" max in one photo and they look the same height in the other photo. Looking at those photos Stevens looks around 6'10 if Jones is around 6'9 (my estimation seeing as he was no more than 0.5" taller than Matt Morgan).
that claim of stevens as being the tallest bodybuilder-actor of all time is seriously under threat now looking at those photos (i would say Dalip singh would have him by a couple of inches) Supermanfan380 says on 2/Jul/07
I know this is about Nathan Jones, but I just had to add this about Noah Steere, seeing as he has been brought up to compare to Jones.
Odd thing is, Noah Steere looks so much bigger in person at expos like the Arnold Classic, that it makes you think his claimed 6'6" and 335-350, is really a joke of his, and that he could really be 6'9" and close around 380 pounds, rumor has it he had gotten just a hair under 4-hundo at one point. Not sure what one earth would make a guy say he is smaller than he really is, but if you ever see him in person and listen to his sense of humor (cool as hell too), it makes you wonder if it is an inside joke. Hes at “least” 6’6” and 350.
Even Mark “Conan” Stevens claims on his site that Noah is the biggest bodybuilder ever, and Conan is a monster in his own right at 7'0.25" (tallest bodybuilder-ACTOR of all time), he is built like Jones, around the same weight, maybe 2" taller than Jones is, but between them it is not a big difference.
That is also proof Jones being about 6’10”, as in pictures with Conan, they are very close in height. Conan has them up on his site here: Click Here 198andstillgrowing says on 20/Jun/07
yeah sorry about that, i keep thinking 198 is 6'7'', yeah 198 is 6'6''. SOrry about the mistake. Jason says on 20/Jun/07
Hang on a moment ... you're 6'7'' but your screen name is 198andstillgrowing? 198andstillgrowing says on 20/Jun/07
In my opinion, the following height of WWE wrestlers. Big Show at 6'11' now (7'0'' peak), Nathan Jones at 6'9'' (HIs height in PRIDE FC) although i would give him half inch advatage, Kane at 6'8'', Taker at 6'7.5'', Great Khali (7'05'' to 7'1''), Matt Morgan at 6'9'', The Rock (i've met him when he was in Melbourne Australia) at 6'3'', Goldberg 6'2.5'', Brock Lesnar at 6'2'' and Batista at 6'3''. I'm 6'7'' so i had quite alot of height on the rock 4 inches top. Jason says on 18/Jun/07
Noah's about 6'6 1/2'', he said he's 6'7'' when he first wakes up. I don't think Jones is that much taller. Noah said practically everyone estimates him at 6'8'' or taller. Vegas says on 18/Jun/07
Alex; what about that dude who claims to be friends with steere and posted that steere said he was just 1" shorter than wight. that same guy said nathan jones was 6'11; making wight approx 4" shorter than jones in reality Alex says on 18/Jun/07
Nathon Jones actually reminds me of Norah Steere the bodybuilder and he was 6'7 335lbs going this bodybuidling magazine I just picked up. Jones is just a taller version of him I think. Its A Punjabi Ting (UK) says on 18/Jun/07
Have a look at the height difference between Tony Jaa and Nathan Jones although Tony is in a low stance at 56 seconds.
Click Here Vegas says on 18/Jun/07
Alex; personally at this particular moment in time; i think jones is 6'9. he looked too short next to wight to be 6'10 imo.
They measure people in prison now??? don't know how much credit i would give to those type of measurements though. Big show has 7'2 down as his measured height when he was booked so............ Jason says on 17/Jun/07
Alex, I've heard 202cm (which is 6'7 1/2'') was Nathan's measured height in jail at age 19. Though this is completely unconfirmed... Jason says on 17/Jun/07
He also said 6'11'' *give* or take a cm. lol. Not that you needed to read into that to know this fella was attempting to take the more gullable here for a ride! Alex says on 17/Jun/07
Thorgrim could be 6'11 but we haven't seen a picture with him and Nathon Jones though, but even without it we haven't seen where Jones looks 6'7-6'9 either. I agree with Vegas, that he's probably 6'10, 6'9 at the very shortest. Jason says on 17/Jun/07
Man, way to lose your temper over nothing much. I didn't even abuse you. lol
Well folks, this post should confirm this dude's fudged his height by at least a foot...
[Editor Rob: thor has said on Yahoo he's 6ft 10 and on celebheights he's 6ft 11. That's all I know...I've never seen a thor pic with a wrestler, but if he ever showed one, I'd question why give 2 different heights...] Thorgrim says on 17/Jun/07
jason, having reviewed many of your posts here, i have come to the conclusion that you are an arrogant *****. And thats about the kindest i can be here.
Everyone else is wrong, you are right, yeah we get it... also, i am not the height i have been my entire life because one day a little man called "jason" on a forum told me so.... not to mention belittling my life expierience.
Take a long hard look in the mirror, and tell me if you are fit to dictate to others facts about their life.
Oh and i guess nathan jones isnt a man with real friends, no hes a celebrity, and just so happens to float in a bubble of air with no contact with the outside world until hes needed again for a movie appearance. Oh and i guess "attempted" strongmen, yes thats what i was.... grow on trees, or maybe they float in bubbles too, or they just "appear", because surely someone couldnt possibbly BE one!!!!, that would just be ridiculous!!!!. I mean, if YOU cant do it, how dare anyone else claim to have done it!, you are "jason"!.
now, im sick of this, i am 6'11 inches tall, give or take a cm, and i am through trying to prove facts about MY life to loosers on an internet site, and im not angry at all of you, actually some of you were very pleasant to me. But people like this jason are just too sad to be around. Thanks for the short welcome guys, see you again maybe.
Maybe, the next time you "meet" nathan, ANY of you.... tell him that his old friend from norway "thorgrim" claims to be 6'11, and with your endless knowledge you know that he isnt, id love to see his reaction :)
anyhoo jason, i might still email the pics to rob if i find them, and maybe then youll realise what an arrogant moron you have been. Jason says on 16/Jun/07
I wasn't in the cheap seats - I was in the ringside area, just not on the aisle to get a good estimate.
And I akowledged this: ''i hate being a p***k about this jason, but so far thorgrim "steve" has shown us as much evidence about his height/his meetings with wrestlers as you have about yours..... none'' when I said ''You're welcome to debate this, though, as like your opinion of his height, it's not a confirmed fact...''
I'm not the one claiming to be 7 feet tall and saying my encounters end the debates here. Oh, and a strongman and having hung out with Nathan. Come on, mate... Brah says on 16/Jun/07
Awhile back on youtube, I saw the Nathan Jones versus Koji Kitao fight. He was billed as 6'9" in that fight. Vegas says on 16/Jun/07
jason cmon man; in fairness you mentioned before you were miles back when you saw nathan jones, how you could estimate him from back in the cheap seats baffles me :) i was up at the barrier when i first saw jones in 2001, but i am not gonna bother with an estimation even from there. my friend still raves at how big jones looked even today after meeting kane, morgan, big show, taker in the meantime etc
i hate being a p***k about this jason, but so far thorgrim "steve" has shown us as much evidence about his height/his meetings with wrestlers as you have about yours..... none
of course thorgrim might be telling us tall tales, but the fact remains, jones is listed everywhere at 6'10 and unlike alot of ex-wrestlers most of these listings are non-wrestling listings and we have video clear as day where he is 3-4" taller than Magnus Samuelsson who is listed at 6'7.
having said all that i think Jones is shorter than 6'10 after reviewing recent evidence. cantstop25 says on 16/Jun/07
even though I normally dont agree with jason I will here, thorgrim until you show us some pics im not going to believe your 6'11" Alex says on 16/Jun/07
Jones was in jail. Is there any chart or sheet that would have his height down from his time in jail? Jason says on 15/Jun/07
Thorgrim "steve" says on 14/Jun/07
''OK, of all those who seem so sure of this mans height, HOW many of you have met him?.... or know him persoanlly?.... doubt me all you like, but i dont think youll be so confident when i find the pictures and post them. hes a good 6'9.5-6'10 i know this for a FACT (that means something that is true, no questions asked) theres no way nathan is only 6'8.''
Yeah, yeah lol. I of course knew you wouldn't be able to back this up. You're not 6'11''. I know it, you know it, others here know it. I have in fact seen Nathan Jones in person and whatever he was, he wasn't 6'10''. You're welcome to debate this, though, as like your opinion of his height, it's not a confirmed fact... Alex says on 15/Jun/07
6'8 and up its tough to estimate unless you're right near them but even then its tough unless you're in that height range. But still I think Jones is 6'9-6'10. Thorgrim "steve" says on 14/Jun/07
thats a good point.... it is true that when you reach a certain height it is harder.... and 6' guy once thought i was 7'1!!!!, im tall.... but thats a good 5-6 cms at least there.... so your point is well taken.
its just i thought i was correct. And its a little easier when you are eye level with them. Thorgrim "steve" says on 14/Jun/07
sorry to have gotten angry, but im sure all of you know what its like to be SO sure you are correct, and have someone not believe you. Especially someone assuming on the power of pictures alone (which can be subject to bad angle, bad lighting, posture, standing positions etc etc)who think they know exactly what height a man is without having met him, ever. Thorgrim "steve" says on 14/Jun/07
OK, of all those who seem so sure of this mans height, HOW many of you have met him?.... or know him persoanlly?.... doubt me all you like, but i dont think youll be so confident when i find the pictures and post them. hes a good 6'9.5-6'10 i know this for a FACT (that means something that is true, no questions asked) theres no way nathan is only 6'8. Jason says on 13/Jun/07
Steve says on 12/Jun/07
''This should end this debate fairly quick, i am a legit 6'11 with NO SHOES ON, repeat NO SHOES ON. And i met nathan back during his body building/strongman days multiple times, hes at LEAST 6'9.5 - 6'10..... we even used to compare for fun, without shoes, and i was a maximum of one and a half inches taller than him, maybe one.... me and nathan and a few onlookers agreed on this....
so, debate over.... nathan is a solid 6'10, give or take a cm.... end of story. thanks.''
If you post a full body pic holding a piece of paper saying ''Steve@celebheights.com'' ... *then* then debate will be over. Til then... :D
I maintain 6'8'' at most. Alex says on 12/Jun/07
Steve, yea I too believe Nathon Jones looks a legit 6'10, at the lowest would be 6'9. Steve says on 12/Jun/07
This should end this debate fairly quick, i am a legit 6'11 with NO SHOES ON, repeat NO SHOES ON.

so, debate over.... nathan is a solid 6'10, give or take a cm.... end of story. thanks. michiele says on 30/Apr/07
i have met nathan while he was in ovw and i have a pic with him on my myspace page Click Here i am 5'3 and i only come up to his waist Alex says on 25/Apr/07
I think Jones could be closer to 6'10 as he was billed at 6'11-7'0 but he could be wearing lifts though. So the shortest he could possibly be would be 6'8-6'8.5. Colton says on 11/Apr/07
nathan said in an interview im 6 foot 10 350 pounds of bone crushin terror then he went and still growin and he laughed. but wwe had em listed as 7 foot 380 but thats just for show 6 10 350 is his real height. asfasf says on 23/Mar/07
jones is a solid 6'10, he is taller than morgan e nash imo Alex says on 7/Mar/07
When Big SHow first came they did say he was 7'0 but sometimes 7'2 and even once I remember them saying 7'1, but after a few months they continued to say 7'2 for years up until late 2002 when they started saying 7'0 again. anonymus says on 27/Feb/07
according to vegas morgan is 6'8.5" jones is 6,9".i agree ,but i would put morgan at a solid 6'8" no more based on the pic he provided of him standing next to morgan. mike says on 19/Feb/07
if nathan jones is 6,10" then it,s safe to say show is 7,1" Big Show says on 15/Feb/07
Supermanfan380, you're wrong about the WWE, they really don't give a crap what wrestlers are billed at before they enter the WWE. The Big Show was billed at 7'4 in WCW, but WWE billed him at 7' when he entered the WWE. Kurt Angle was billed as 5'10/5'11 during the Olympics, yet WWE billed him at 6'2. The same with Brock Lesnar and countless other WWE superstars. Some wrestlers even change height during their run in the WWE (like Edge). I personaly have stopped tryin' to find some kind of pattern in WWE's height and weight listing, because I doubt if there is one. Jason says on 13/Feb/07
Jones doesn't look more more than 2 1/2 inches taller than 6'5 1/2'' MMA-listed Sylvester Terkay. I've seen Jones in person before and he definitely didn't look 6'10''. WWE aren't concerned with what wrestlers have been billed at in the past in sports; they're not even concerned with what they used to be billed at in other wrestling promotions or the WWE themselves. Supermanfan380 says on 12/Feb/07
Jones is every bit of 6'10". WWE would list him at that sure, but how could they lie about it? He had already been listed by WSM at 6'10".
If they would have said 7 foot and people found out later that WSM had listed him at 208cm, then WWE would be exposed as lying about heights, and even more so, weights.
Even as it was, if someone here can find a video of the “Chris Benoit vs. Nathan Jones” match on Smackdown aired on November 20th 2003, Jones was announced at 6’10” and 340 pounds when he entered the match.
Later during the Match one of the Announcers listed him at “7 foot and 350+ pounds”.
What? He just grew 2 more inches and over 10 pounds?
Undoubtedly had Jones’s height and weight not been listed by the WSM at 6’10” and 340 pounds, WWE would not have bothered and simply said he was 7 foot and 350+ all the damn time. LV says on 31/Jan/07
He's undoubtebly 6'10". He is clearly 3 inches taller than Magnus, who is a legit 6'7". Alex says on 12/Jan/07
Cantstop, I can see Jones at 6'9 at least. He looks taller than 6'7-6'8. Alex says on 9/Jan/07
Big Show, I agree with most you say. I been guessed at 210-215lbs at least and I'm 200-205lbs. Muscle gives people the impression that you weigh more than you do. Big Show says on 9/Jan/07
I'm not that interested in weight estimates, only with big guys such as Big Show and people who are around my weight range interest me.
Guessing weights is not as easy as guessing heights. You can't really guess weights based on a couple of pictures as Alex proved with the pics of his friends.
I don't make a guess in the dark when weight is concerned, I normally compare them with people who's weight I do know. But apparently you could still be way off.
Alex I doubt that your ability to guess weights has got anything to do with working out. I hit the gym 5 times a week (during my peak I even went twice a day), but still I could be way of with guessing height.
There's one guy at my gym who's 6'1.5, has got like 17" arms and a chest of 43 inches. I'd guessed him at around 225 lbs, yet he claims he never weighed more than 205 lbs (with a bodyfat percentage of 8%). Seeing as he used to be in the marines he probably must've knew his weight accurately. I doesn't struck me as the type who would deliberately underestimate his weight. Alex says on 8/Jan/07
Danimal, same here. I'm interested in both. And you probably noticed, that the people who estimate weight the best are the ones into working out/lifting weights the most. There are some on this site who I think aren't bad at estimating height but with weight some of their estimates are way off. Danimal says on 7/Jan/07
Alex, I'm equally interested in both height and in weight. Supermanfan380 says on 6/Jan/07
I just got done looking at some youtube videos, and sure enough Jones got billed at 7ft and 350 by the anouncers.
THis is why I tend to think he is 6'10". Also the fact that Milo Magazine 1995 listed him at 6'10" and they were a reliable strongman magazine. Alex says on 4/Jan/07
Rob, are you a pretty good weight estimater or one of those guys who sticks to just guessing heights? Myself am actually good at estimating weights.
[Editor Rob: I don't guess weights, not that interested although I sometimes include quotes with height/weight because some folk are.] Alex says on 3/Jan/07
And by the way one of my heavy friends I posted down below that we were discussing his weight. He weighs 325lbs and I saw it myself on the doctor's scale 2 weeks ago so the 340-345lbs I mentioned back then isn't accurate because the scale was apparently off that day. I figured because he didn't look 340lbs plus. So that throws 300lbs or less out the window for those underestimaters with weight! haha Jason says on 24/Dec/06
Yeah, Terkay has 3.5 or 3 inches on DDP. I've always thought DDP was 6'2 1/2'' and seeing him with 197cm/6'5 1/2'' Terkay more or less confirms he is in that range. Notice the size of Terkay's melon, though -- it's bloody enormous!!! He looks like he's got some Islander in him. Jason says on 20/Dec/06
Oops, I mean Jones looks at most 2 1/2 inches taller than Terkay lol! Jason says on 20/Dec/06
Terkay looks at most 2 1/2 inches taller than Jones and we now have a 6'5 1/2'' MMA listing for Terkay. Jason says on 20/Dec/06
Click Here
Bleemo, that MMA article has Terkay listed at 197cm! Jason says on 20/Dec/06
Glad to see you agree with me about Nathan Jones, Bleemo. Predator is quite likely 6'5''. Jones looked 6'7''-6'8'' to me in person but he could be 6'8 1/2'' as you say. He was an extremely tall guy, but not 6'10''. Alex says on 19/Dec/06
Big Show, I remember Show having 2 inches on Jones. And 3 on Morgan I think and Also Jones was a bit taller than Morgan too. |
