ohh and to all the people wondering about jake roberts height, there's a mugshot photo of him floating around somewhere, and he is standing at 6'6.5" in it on the police height chart, so subtract an inch for footwear, and that puts him right around 6'5.5"ish...
Stefan says on 3/Nov/09
Sid is 2,01m (6-7,25) Click Here when Taker is a save 2,03m (6-8).
1,99m (6-6,5) isn´t enough. Vegas says on 29/Oct/09
the prices for that are insane plus hogan was supposed to be there, obviously no chance now that he signed for tna, sids currently wrestling with irish indie outfit AWR across europe, all the wrestlers let you take photos with them after the show for 5euro Click Here Red says on 29/Oct/09

Now, certainly in the left picture with Mamun, Sid looks enormous. Notice how Mamum is standing very erect, at the max of his height, and comes up to Sid's chin. Then look at Sid: he's slouching, so the 6'6.5" estimate here has to be maybe a little short for him? I don't know. Linke says on 20/Oct/09

Undertaker as of 1997 was about 1.25" taller than Sid pending footwear differential. 6'7" for Sid I think pretty much on the money. Paul says on 7/Oct/09
I think around 6'7 1/2 (202cm) years ago. Probably 200cm today, so my thinking is close to Rob's. JT says on 5/Oct/09
The announcers in USWA (before he went to WCW) referred to Sid as 6'7" so he's likely no taller than that. Derek says on 5/Oct/09
I have yet to see any evidence of Sid being under 6'7". In 1992, he had Hogan by a minimum of 2"(Hogan was just shy of 6'5" at that point). In his staredowns with the 6'8" Undertaker, Taker only had a minimal amount(about .25"), but Sid had military-like posture and Taker was more relaxed. Still, what could the maximum difference be, .75"-1"? André the Giant says on 5/Oct/09

In the left picture he looks 6ft8 to me, and that is with gigantic 1.5 inch sneakers. I'd give him 6ft7 at max. Cobra says on 22/Sep/09
6ft7,5 is spot on IMO. Why you have him that low, Rob? Explanation?
Sid hardly looks under 6ft7 in any pic or video. Paul says on 22/Sep/09
I believe he was around 6'7 1/2 around 1992 at least. Easily topped Hogan even if he had, as I believe, a slight footware advantage in the WM8 match. mike says on 20/Sep/09

Check this vid out, look at the footage around 5.05. I don't think Sid was 6'6.5.
Click Here Electric says on 4/Sep/09
Sid was about half an inch to an inch taller than Spivey.
Sid comes out taller than a lot of people due to ramrod straight posture and tip toeing. If you lined him up with the 80s WWF wrestlers (including peak Hogan), he'd come out shorter than Andre, shorter than Elmer, the same height as Studd, and less than a half an inch taller than The One Man Gang. He'd probably come out an inch/inch and a half taller than Hogan. general93 says on 28/Aug/09
wasnt sid like around 2" taller than dan spivey who today is 6'6" after surgery hes got to be taller than 6'6.5".there was like a 0.5" difference with him and taker at uk rampage92.he is referred by alot of wrestlers to be 6'9".but id say a shade under 6'8". Derek says on 23/Aug/09
Danimal says on 21/Aug/09
"A 1981 Hogan would have stood his own with Sid. MAX 1" apart."
Agreed. Even in '92, there was 2-2.5" MAX between the two. 6'7" and 6'6" respectively is likely. Cycklops says on 23/Aug/09
When Sid was first promo'd on WCW, they claimed he was 6'7"...now in the same video they also ridiculously claimed his biceps were 26"...but considering he then got bumped up to 6'8" and 6'9" billing by the WWF...I think 6'7" is probably accurate. Sid is a big mothereffer. Danimal says on 21/Aug/09

I agree he should be bumped to 6'7". It not like we can honestly pin his height to withing a 1/2" by those pics above. All I see is him towering over Mamun.
I got to add the guys got some long arms too. Notice how his hand is almost as low as Mamun's. I bet he has got at least a 6'9" wingspan. Electric says on 21/Jul/09

What I don't get is why Jake was only billed at 6'5 by by the WWE when they could have easily have given him 6'7 considering how well he stacked up with The Undertaker. Electric Shock says on 2/Jun/09
aarod Jake had huge boots.
Click Here
Jake in the ring frequently came out taller than Hogan who he was actually half an inch to an inch shorter than. His boots were MASSIVE. probably 1.75" heels. They were as big as anything Kane ever wore.
Jake is 6'5", so 6'5"+ 1.75" boots= 6'6.75"
Undertaker is 6'8.25" + 0.5" boots= 6'8.75"
or a perceived 2 inches. Electric Shock says on 1/Jun/09
I'm not even a big Taker fan. My friend is who also posts under a similar name, but the facts are the facts. Taker is no less than an inch taller than Sid.
Here's an exercise Red; if you have a tape measurer, stand in a kind of hunch, head forward, shoulders bent, and see how you measure. Now, go ram rod straight, and see how much taller you are.
Sid ALWAYS stood ramrod straight, in addition to the slight boot advantage. Taker almost always with about a 15 degree hunch at the neck. Taker still comes out a half an inch or more taller with this. In the few instances Taker stood straight up next to Sid, like the picture I posted, he was at least an inch taller than Sid.
in boots, Undertaker is 6'9" and Sid is 6'8", maybe 6'8.25". barefoot, Taker is 6'8.25", and Sid is 6'7". Red says on 31/May/09
E-Shock, like vegas said - there´re a lot of good vids proving that there´s no inch between them - maybe a half inch but no more!
So for me video evidence is better than pics and now you can start the lift claims and we see who´s biased Electric Shock says on 31/May/09
Taker had WELL over an inch on Sid. I already posted the proof. If you're not buying it, than you're blinded by bias. aarod says on 29/May/09

based on video evidence (of which there is quite a bit) i see no 1 inch between taker and sid in either 1991, 1992 or 1995/96, it mm like red said, i ain't getting into no lift debate (because it is nearly impossible to prove to debunk either way) usually the guy you want shorter will be wearing the lifts ;) The Ben says on 27/May/09

I imagine if Sid was taller that they would have redone the segment... Sid just stands there snarling...I'll try and find it. Paul says on 27/May/09
I think Taker was really a good inch taller. Undertaker I believe was about 6'8 1/2-3/4 many years ago. Stacked up well against 6'10 1/2 Nash. Others I know will disagree. Frank said he saw Sid in normal clothes and said he didn't seem quite as tall as he expected. Frank also met UT in person and UT told him he was 6'9 and did look as tall. I think Sid had a little, just a little extra in his boots from time to time. Red says on 27/May/09
I don´t see an inch between them, Undertaker is just a few mm taller
Click Here Paul says on 26/May/09
I don't know why poor old Sid gets downgraded. He was about 6'7.5 at one time. People have been speculating on the Hogan thread that Hogan was 6'7 prime or so in boots and Sid had at least 1.5in on Hogan. It is generally agreed that Nash was at least 6'10 and probably 6'10.5 prime. Here is Sid squaring off against Nash and look 3in less with similar boots. 6.7.5 seems right. I bet he is 6'7 nowadays.

sid moves further away from the camera thats why the difference occurs, sid and taker were roughly the same height, no one inch difference for sure Electric Shock says on 25/May/09
Click Here
typical example of Sid cheating in Staredowns. Sid stands on his tip toes to equal Taker. a few seconds later a height disadvantage of roughly an inch is revealed. Combined with at least a .25" boot advantage on Sid's part, We have Sid at NO taller than 6'7" and Undertaker at NO shorter than 6'8". If you think there's only .25" you need to get your eyes examined. Red says on 25/May/09

And on second thought, here is my new list, morning and peak:

Undertaker: 6ft8
Kane: 6ft8,5
Kevin Nash: 6ft10
Nathan Jones: 6ft10
Big Show: 7ft1

@ fanboy: Kane was extremelx massive around 2000, yet not as cut as Sid.
Yeah, Sid`s body is not from this world. Electric Shock says on 22/May/09
Fanboy...Sid's boots were 1.25". Hogan's were .75". Undertaker's in 1991 were .5". I will post pictures to back this up soon. Cobra says on 22/May/09
You could be right too, Alex2, here`s a match Diesel(Nash) against Sid...
It could be more than 2 inches. fanboy says on 21/May/09
Shock, You sure do make me laugh. How do you know how many layers Sids boots were? This is a fact, Sid's boots were no thicker than Hogans were or your beloved Undertaker's. Undertaker 6'7.25, Sid 6'7, Kane 6'7.5. I also think Sid is more physically impressive than any other guys at that range in height. Alex2 says on 21/May/09

Sid coming out 1.5" taller than 6'6" Peak Hulk Hogan. Sid's wrestling boots were 5 layers, while Hogans were 3. A layer= .25". Therefore Sid had a .5" boot advantage on Hogan. Hogan coming out 6'6.75" in wrestling gear, while Sid coming out 6'8.25".
Click Here
In this picture, Sid is wearing the smallest boots of his career: 1 layer boots (.25") and is coming out about .5" taller than Hulk Hogan in his 3 layer boots. That'd make Sid in 1 layer boots 6'7.25".
So how tall was Sid? The answer is 6'7" on the nose.
I have more pictures to come but right now using Hogan at 6'6" I have:
Kevin Nash- 6'9.75" (comes out 2.75" taller than Sid in equal boots.)
Undertaker- 6'8.25" (in 1992 came out slightly taller than Sid when Sid had a .75" boot advantage. In 1997, Taker only was at a .25" boot disadvantage and came out an inch taller.)
Sid- 6'7" (wore large boots)
Mabel- 6'6.75" (comes out the exact same height as Sid in a staredown on Kevin Nash; however his King Mabel boots were 6 layer boots, compared to Sid's 5 layer, which would make him about 6'6.75". Mabel also comes out about 1/3 an inch shorter than 6'7.1" Max Starks.)
Akeem- 6'6.75" (comes off .75" taller than Hogan)
Hulk Hogan- 6'6" (comes off .25" taller than Earthquake)
Earthquake- 6'5.75" (Legit confirmed during his Sumo days.)
Big Boss Man- 6'4.75" (comes off 1.5" shorter than Hulk Hogan in slightly smaller boots than Hogan's)

Rob, 6'6.5" is a downgraded bs for Eudy! He towers a foot over Mamun who is a very strong 5'8" guy. Let's give Eudy 6'7.5", that could be a solution, don't you think so?

alex_scandinavia says on 17/May/09
i think Sid was at his peak a strong 6'7 barefoot. Undertaker had him by one inch which gives the Undertaker a peak height of 6'8.. Big John Studd was probably 6'7 also barefoot..but big John Studd had the biggest heels on hes boots of thes guys then sid.. what was Sid's billed height? i know he was billed back in the WCW at 6'8 and 6'9 time to time and 316 pounds...
the Undertaker 6'8 (billed as 6'10 ½)
Sid 6'7 (billed as 6'8 and 6'9)
Big John Studd 6'7 (billed as 6'10)
Hulk Hogan 6'5 (usually 6'7)
Sid HAS been billed as low as 6'7" and as high as 6'10".
Hogan was usually billed at 6'8". He only began being listed at 6'7" in the early 1990's when REAL height loss started setting in. The Ben says on 17/May/09
I always thought sid was a legit 6'8.. He looked the same height as the undertaker to me.

You don't know for a fact that Vince was shoeless and Vince was 6'1.5 at his peak. Also Orton has much better posture than Monsoon does. |
