Big King says on 5/Sep/08
Also his 6'10" and 6'9" claimings are a bit strange. He is no more than 6'8" and Kane is 6'8 1/2". I was a bit confused when I though that Kane is almost two inches taller than the Undertaker. Kane looks only about an inch taller than Calaway.

Brian C. 35 m IL says on 4/Sep/08
Undertaker looks every bit of 6'8" if you ask me, I myself stand 6'8" tall, but weigh only 250.

Big King says on 4/Sep/08
Ha! You're wrong if you believe that the undertaker has the same height as Kane. Both are listed as 6'7 1/2" on celebheights but the fact is that the undertaker is almost two inches shorter than Kane.

Alex says on 4/Sep/08
In most faceoffs while both guys are standing straight, I still see an inch difference. Then a few times you'll see a bit more or a bit less.

"UNDERTAKER says on 27/Aug/08
I am really 6'10".And those who have told that I am 6'7" or 6'8" they will rest in peace."

Anyways takers 6'8" and bigshows 7'0"

We had this debate a while ago. Star Trek probably tried to make them around the same height since they are from the same alien race. You can see how Schwartz in dress shoes and Big Show measure up to Roddy Piper. Click Here Schartz would not be close to Big Show if he stood fully erect. Schwartz looks considerably shorter next to 5'8" Mamun on this site than Kevin Nash, and Big Show had close to 3 inches on Nash.

If you watch the show which I've just posted, you'll see that not all of these members of the alien race are even close to 7 feet tall (like Big Show), so I doubt they just made Schwartz the same height as Big Show and the rest not.

Here's a perfect shot of Schwartz & Lundgren. I'd say Schwartz has Lundgren by 4 inches.

Alex2 says on 31/Aug/08
In all honesty I really do bet that Big Show is still 7'0" if not more today. I doubt hes lost height and when he stands straight there is NOT more than 1" between him and Khali, likely less.

There's a good pic out there of Schwartz looking around 4 inches taller than ~ 6'4" Dolph Lundgren, though I don't recall the footwear. He looked to have ~ 6'5" Vince Vaughn by at least 3 inches but had a big footwear advantage. I think Schwartz is at least 6'7" but no more than 6'8".

Someone on this board met Schwartz and asked him about wrestlers' heights. IIRC, he said Big Show was 7'0" or 7'1".

What is that Big Show/UBG photo from anyway?

Part I: Click Here
Part II: Click Here
Part III: Click Here
Part IV: Click Here

Big Show was the leader of the gang, so I doubt Schwartz would have a footwear advantage over Show.
He appears at the end of part II, part III and part IV. Schwartz only has a small part (he's nothing more than an extra).

Big Show says on 30/Aug/08
On the Big Show board I think more than enough evidence has been given to support that Big Show was around 7 feet during his peak. Nowadays he looks to have lost a bit of height due to his bad posture, but not much though (maybe 0.5"). The Great Khali only has an inch on Big Show today. I think Big Show is 6'11.5 today and Schwartz 3 inches shorter, making him 6'8.5.

Ola says on 30/Aug/08
sounds very very right on, rick!!

Rick says on 29/Aug/08
I met Undertaker in the late 90's. I actually had video footage of the meeting and there were several shots of my 6'4 brother standing next to him. Taker had a good 3 inches or so on him so the general concensus here of 6'7/6'8 is right in the ballpark. I'd say 6'7.5 and call it a day.

Clay says on 29/Aug/08
The lowest Big Show could be is 6'11.5.

I think UBG is a legit 6'8", not taller tho. Show only looks 2" taller there, but that may be the way they're standing or something. I don't think Show is taller than 6'11" today and was a full 7' at peak at least.

Maybe the Big Show aint quite as tall as 7ft nowadays. The Big Show I suppose you have a point. If Scott is max 6ft7 like Frank says then that would put him at 6ft6.5 barefoot? I also remember on photobucket there was a comparion of mamums picture with Phyco Sid and Scott. In both those 2 pictures Scott and Sid looked very similar in heigtht next to Mamun.

They're standing on level ground (there's a door behind them). Schwartz has a camera advantage and is standing more straight than Big Show, but the most I could see between them is 3 inches.

James says on 28/Aug/08
There was a pic where Scott looked shorter than 6ft8 Tyler Mane as well.

You're referring to this pic: Click Here
Mane is only a fraction taller (I don't see even an inch between them. However if you brighten up the pic, you'll get a better view on their footwear. Although it's unclear what type of footwear Schwartz is wearing, it's very clear that Mane is wearing some gigantic cowboy boots (it looks almost as if he's standing on his tiptoes). Those boots probably give him a 2.5" boost, while Schwartz looks to be wearing normal dressing shoes (the seam of his pants almost hit the floor, while the seam of Mane's pants are a few inches above it). No doubt Schwartz would be taller than Mane if both were barefoot.

Frank says on 28/Aug/08
Yes James i dont believe he's 6ft 10 and i would say the most he could be is 6ft 7

For the sake of Dolph Lundgren, Vince Vaughn, Steven Seagal, Bernie Mac, Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, Jim Carrey, Marc Singer, Big Show and George Clooney he'd better be taller than that or else you can knock off a good inch on all of these guys heights.

The 6'10 billings came when he changed his gimmick to Joshua Ben-Gurion.

He's a big guy though, he was nearly the same height as Big Show in a backstage pic on Star Trek. Taker never looked that tall compared to Big Show.
I think Scott Schwartz would have an inch Taker today. He looks nothing below 6'8 to me. I know PWI listed him as 6'7 when he was the Joshua Ben-Gurion gimmick, but their source is dubious to say the least, as he was billed at 6'10 when he was Joshua Ben-Gurion.

I could have listed Vaders weight as little too low, but Typhoon was taller than him and he was also massive. Bossman at slightly under 6'4 is not impossible.

I would need to delete atleast 1 inch from everybody to agree with you on their heights. No offence, but that's not my goal.

I think I you take back the 2 extra inches of WWF exaggeration you are right on spot on their peak heights .

Sid billed 6'9.5 --> 6'7.5
Taker billed 6'10.5 ---> 6'8.5
Nash billed 7'0.5 --> 6'10.5+ (2" to 2.5 inches taller than UT )

by the way billing Sid anywhere under 6'7 as a peak height is clearly a joke .

Frank says on 19/Aug/08
Well if Taker is 6ft6 .5 then a Peak Hogan was about 6ft 4???

Me says on 19/Aug/08
Let me just say that according to this site Nash is at 6'9" & Sid is at 6'6".5. Which Nash may be 6'9" now. However he was listed at 6'10 or 11 when he played ball. Regardless, if when Nash & Sid had their staredowns is being considered to be 2.5" diff then Andre must have had 7-8 inches on Hogan, 6'6 at least at the time.Andre's forehead was huge. If it is being stated that Nash had that much on Sid then Andre definitely was over the 7' mark. IMO Sid should be 6'7.5 and Andre should be 7'1" peak & 6'11 at death. Wilt had his forehead length on Russell who was exactly 4" shorter than Wilt.Wilt had a very small head compared to Andre. Head size & proportions must be taken into account. Look at Shoemaker. You can't just say a head size bigger or smaller you must be specific on which head you are talking about, HaHa.

Frank says on 19/Aug/08
Well Red i asked him personally and thats what he told me and he looked it
Besides i wasnt going to tell him he's a Liar and that hes only 6ft 7 even if i thought he looked that height :o)

Alex2 says on 19/Aug/08
Billed heights arnet always that off, sometimes they are dead on or even too low (Henry, Christian, Cena) I have seen Taker listed anywhere from 6'8-6'11 throughout his career, never have I seen him listed below 6'8". He was 6'8" peak no less, live with it, gees.

Billed heights are NOT real height. Most of the billed heights are height in shoes/boots + an extra inch. So again one more proof that he was between 6´7" and 6´8" at his peak.

Frank I saw Taker in 1998 and he didn´t look as tall as 6´8" or 6´9"barefoot. For me he looked between 6´6.5"-6´7.5"barefoot.

Sid is much taller than hogan and remember hogan still TOWERS roddy piper there, so 6'5 1/2 is a good estimation for him there, taker we know is taller than sid so...

Lets not also forget how a real 6'7 man like magic jonhson stacks up to nash comparing to taker and sid.

Alex2 says on 18/Aug/08
Red, look at my video I posted below with Undertaker as Mean Mark (WCW) before WWE/WWF and he has an easy foot on 5'9" Teddy Long. He wasngt below 6'8" peak, and who even says Sid was 6'7" Ive never seen him listed below 6'8" He could have been a weak 6'8" guy.

Red says on 18/Aug/08
Frank, eye level isn´t what I said, you´re still wrong. If you tilt your head back that much you lose 0.5 inches unless you´ve an abnormal headform.

Frank says on 18/Aug/08
Not really Red it makes it harder to judge and it makes your eye level higher
Anyway Taker is taller than Sid and i believe Sid wore lifts I seen him in street clothes and he did not look as tall as i thought he would be

Taker for sure had a fottwear advantage in that staredown with Khali. 100%.

Taker´s advantage there was standing straight...

Red says on 17/Aug/08
Much people arround here are claiming that Undertaker is a full inch taller than Sid - Wrong!! thats because of bad pictures and camera positions!

Taker is 0.5 - 1cm or max 0.5 inches taller than Sid
They´re nearly the same height.

I used to think UT was 6´8"peak but he could´ve been 6´7.5"peak. I´m pretty sure he worked with his footwear against Giants like Big Show, Khali, Gonzalez.

He barely looked taller than 6´5" Hogan at 1991 Survivor Series and Tuesday in Texas 91.

I think 6´7.5" Undertaker and 6´7" Sid is the best estimation for their peak height.

Rob fist had Sid at a miserable 6'6'', completely ripping him off then upgraded him to 6'6.5. The man needs to be at least at 6'7.5 IMO.

Very much agreed

JT, I'm beginning to wonder about that Yankem/UT pic. I use to think that Yankem had .5" on him (UT does have the camera advantage like you said) but Yankem has a fro going at the time. UT's head is very long as we pointed out, I'm beginning to wonder if they're maybe both the same size barefoot.

It makes more sense since Yankem/Jacobs clearly wore/wear lifts as Kane. The point was to appear much taller than UT.

Ehh Spivey was over 6'6"... Danimal, you serious? I think If Sid does return theyd be the exact same height, I don't see sid being taller at all, and Sid's had some injuries so could have lost height.

JT says on 15/Aug/08
Red says on 15/Aug/08
Click Here that´s a much fairer comparison

The high camera angle favors the guy farther from the camera (i.e., Undertaker). I think it's still too close to call.

Kane in 1997 looks taller than Taker Click Here even though the camera angle favors Taker. Taker's true height is really puzzling. He is shorter than Kane in his Munsters, yet he measured up better next to Khali than Kane did in these same Munsters. Either Taker's wearing lifts or Khali is (which is doubtful given his bad knees and his relative lack of coordination) or it was just somehow a misleading camera angle.

taker next to 6'6 dan spivey...yup taker's height here is correct

Clay says on 15/Aug/08
Rob fist had Sid at a miserable 6'6'', completely ripping him off then upgraded him to 6'6.5. The man needs to be at least at 6'7.5 IMO.

Frank says on 14/Aug/08
NashOwnsAll, That could be right Taker is about 1.5 inches shorter than Nash when he stands straigt

WAS PRE-2001. NO WAY would he measure up to a peak Nash that way today and I would bet the farm that Sid would have .5-1" on Taker today.

NashOwnsAll says on 15/Aug/08
I'm quite pleased with that picture I put together! Thanks for the comments everyone!

Sid makes a good yardstick since his posture and footware have been very consistent during his most of his career. And sid just happens to stare down at both wrestlers in similar positions relative to the camera within the space of 2 years lol

The gap between Undertaker and Sid looks like 1 inch or maybe a little less than an inch. Nash has around 2.5 inches on Sid and between 1.25 - 1.5 inches on Undertaker.

Frank says on 15/Aug/08
Taker is taller and Sid always Tilts his head back to look about .05 shorter
But if Sid did not Tilt his head back there might be an inch difference??

Alex2 says on 15/Aug/08
Thankyou everyone :) I think we need to upgrade sid :)

Red says on 15/Aug/08
Click Here that´s a much fairer comparison

Red says on 15/Aug/08
I don´t think there´s an inch between them - more 0.5".
I like this staredown because when they went Nose to Nose you see that Sid´s Eyelevel isn´t that much higher. Only if Sid raise up his chin he has a higher eyelevel. They´re nearly the same height with a slight advantage for Taker.

I think 6´8"peak for Taker and 6´7.5" for Sid is a safe bet.

Nash owns All, your line is favourising Taker because of the camera angle. Taker stands higher than Sid and your line is horizontally.

KingNick says on 14/Aug/08
NashOwnsAll, very nice pics, love that match/segment.

Click Here

I have to play devil's advocate though, I think Undertaker had a footwear advantage. If you look, he has at least FULL inch on Sid and his eyes are higher up. Any other pic or staredown you look at between them, Undertaker has a lower eye level but is still slightly taller.

Click Here

I think Sid 6'7.5", UT 6'8"

Robby says on 14/Aug/08
I love the comparison NashOwnsAll. I have always felt that Sid and Taker were very close with Taker edging Sid slightly no more then 1". Nash I thought has always been no more then 2" taller then Taker. maybe even less. this is what I think Nash 6'10"(peak) now 6'9". Taker 6'8"(peak) now 6'7.5". Sid 6'7" (peak) now 6'6".5"

Maybe Undertaker appears shorter due to his massive forehead accounting for the deceiving height in many photos. Somebody could perceive height from their eye level, just as when Khali first appeared so much taller than Big Show because of this illusion.

Heidenreich appears to be leaning forward in the picture with Taker, but his hair also makes him look taller than he is. I see two and a half inches between them there. Look how much longer Taker's forehead is.

Great point. That's why UT's height is so deceiving.

Nice find JT, Snitsky's college listing. I don't think he's any less than 6'5" but that college listing is certainly inflated quite a bit, shock horror. Heidenreich looked 6'5.5" or 6'6" which would put Undertaker still at 6'7.5" or 6'8" in 2005 or whenever that casket match was.

Big Show says on 13/Aug/08
JT says on 12/Aug/08
Click Here Click Here Snitsky had a 6'7" listing entering college Click Here though IMO he's closer to 6'5".
IIRC, Vegas saw Heidenreich and thought he looked huge (at least 6'6") but did not see Taker being more than 6'7" tops.

The first pic you posted is from that staredown in the lockerroom before Heidenreich's casket match with Undertaker. Snitsky looks slightly taller to me, but in the other staredown of the two it's the other way around. Does Snitsky wear lifts from time to time? I never paid attention to his footwear, so I wouldn't know, but he was always billed as a monster.

Rikashiku says on 13/Aug/08
Heidenreich likely 6'5. he had an nose over Road Warrior Animal.

His billed was 6'7. Snisky billed was mostly 6'6.

UT has 2 inches on Heidenreich.
Kane has 2 inches on snisky

Snitsky is 6'4". He was the same as Randy Orton. Heidenreich had about an inch on him, putting him at 6'5". Taker would be about 6'7" as he had about 2 inches on Heidenreich.

Frank says on 12/Aug/08
Heidenreich is probably a Legit 6ft 5 and i believe he was listed @ that when he first came into the WWE

Ray says on 12/Aug/08
Heidenreich looks to have 1-2" on Snitsky which makes Heidenreich 6'6" or so; Taker had Heidenreich by 2" or so.

KingNick says on 12/Aug/08

Vegas, was it you that met Heidereich and said he was humongous?

Drexyl says on 12/Aug/08
Heidenreich looks a bit taller than Snitsky in all their staredowns, but I don't think there's more than half an inch difference. Probably even less.

That's without taking into account footwear though.

JIM POWERS says on 12/Aug/08
a train and akebono had a staredown. u see the boots he had in wwe compared to the ones in new japan. now my question is? if albert is 6'6'' with boots 6'7''-6'7.5, then it makes taker 6'7.5-6'8'', akebono is either the same height or at least a half an inch taller than taker. and nash not far over him. this would mean nash is only 6'9. legit

kevin o shea says on 12/Aug/08
that height chart that red posted? dont mean nothin. and newsflash.taker is 6'8'' barefoot BAREFOOT red! and gonzalez was 7'6'' BAREFOOT! now on that height chart, theyre clearly wearing their boots. so I would give taker anywhere from 6'9''-6'10'' tops and gonzalez 7'8''-7'9'' he had platforms on. and they had tried to boost him as close to 8 ft as possible and taker as close to 7 ft as possible. for taker anywhere from 1-2 inches on his boots. and gonzalez anywhere from 2-3 on his. why do u think that gonzalez couldnt move so quickly as he had in wcw. im aware of his condition, but still 2 years later? cmon see it my way and it makes sense. youll thank me tomorrow

Lol, weve talked about Heidenrich before, he was MUCH taller than Snitsky, he was around 6'7" Ask Vegas to show you the photos of him when He met him, I think we all peg him at 6'6-6'7" from Vegas's photos.

When Heidenreich had his casket match with Undertaker, there was a backstage locker room segment in which Heidenreich is confronted by Snitsky. From what I remember, Snitsky was slightly taller. I have the dvd at home, so I'll cap some pictures of it this weekend. No way is Heidenreich much taller, at best he's the same height as Snitsky.

Ola says on 12/Aug/08
JT, in the ring gonzales had his huge 2-3 inches platform boots... its already proven in staredowns that nash was barely just over 1 inch taller than taker

Has anyone noticed how Undertaker has a very bad posture? In nearly ever photo I see him in he is always either has his legs spread apart so is not standing straight enough or is always leaning forward, like he used to do with Mean Gene when interviewed, even when he stodd by Gonzalez he never stood fully straight, I think thats why alot of people have suspicions over his height.

miko says on 11/Aug/08
It's funny how people claim Undertaker is 6"9 when he is clearly shorter than 6"8 maximum Kane. Kane does wear lifts, but Undertaker doesn't wear small boots either.

As of 2008, he is no taller than the height Rob has him listed at.

Too many people here buy the billed heights of Wrestlers! 6'11.5 to 7' for Kevin Nash? He's been billed at heights up to 7'1 but also as low as 6'10. Even in his match with The Giant (Big Show), who was billed at an exaggerated height of 7'4, he was referred to as 6'10. Does anyone here also believe the difference between them was 6 inches?

Nate says on 9/Aug/08
The Undertaker next to other tall guys like Test, Heidenrich, A-Train, Sid and etc.. appeared taller, so this big guy as to at least be 6'9, 6'9.5 or so

Yeah he was taller than them, but that doesn't make him 6'9, unless you believe all their billed heights!

Wasn't Heidenreich a little shorter than Snitsky and wasn't Snitsky shorter or the same height as 6'4.75 NFL player Ben Roethlisberger (not sure if I spelled his name correct). And I didn't see 5 inches between Taker and Heidenreich.

Big Show says on 11/Aug/08
Alex2 says on 10/Aug/08
A-train could be over 6'6" though, just a thought. If so, not by much.

That would mean that the Japanese went as far as billing him as a GIANT, and then list him below his actual height. I find that a bit hard to swallow. The Japanese are the ones who billed Khali & Silva at 7'6.5, so it's not like they don't exaggerate heights.

The max Taker could have been is 6'8.5" or 6'8.25" Danimal, I have never heard of him claiming "only" 6'8" as his height at one time but when I heard him claim that it was in the "This Is my yard" DVD when he constantly said "Im 6'8"-6'9" not just 6'8" He could be lying in between the two but I still think a solid 6'8" peak sounds right, no more, no less.

Clay says on 9/Aug/08
Taker didn't come within 4 inches of Khali, sorry. He came to his eyebrows, so thats at least 5 inches and he may have had a significant footwear advantage becasue later staredowns saw about a 6 inch gap between him and Khali. Still he's at least 6'7/6'7.5.

Big Show: the most interesting staredown that shows a POST 2000 height shrinkage for Taker is his FACE-OFF with Viscera in 1999, when Viscera wanted to become part of the ministry. Taker walked right up to him on solid ground outside of the ring (this was Takers PEAK height) and Taker had close to 2" on Viscera. So yeah, he could have been close to 6'8" PRE-2001 and post about 6'6.5". The man lost a solid inch at that point. Alex also noticed this. HE used to stack up pretty well next to Kane with HUGE boots in the late 90's. NO WAY would Taker only come in within 1" with KAne if Kane sported those huge late 90's boots. Taker may be as low as 6'6" today imo.

Did that staredown happen on the 1999 Royal Rumble? If so I'll try to look it up and post some pictures of it.

miko says on 9/Aug/08
Undertaker is about 5 inches shorter than Khali, it could even be 6 inches. I have never seen 4 inches - if there is then find a photo.

A 7"1 Khali would result in a 6"7 Undertaker.

Ghost says on 8/Aug/08
Big show,
Kane was also very close in height with 6'6,5 Big daddy V.
He had 1 inch on Taker when he wore lifts.

When Kane made his debut in the WWF in 1997 he had 2 inches on Taker. I haven't seen Kane wearing those big boots in recent confrontations with Taker, but Kane still had an inch on him. Look for the match of Undertaker and Isaac Yankem on Youtube. Glen Jacobs isn't wearing any lifts there and he's still taller than the Undertaker.

KingNick says on 9/Aug/08
Undertaker himself saying he's 6'8":

This is from a magazine published by the WWE April 14, 2003. Undertaker talks out of character, as well as others talk to / about him out of character.

"I think that they forget that I'm SIX-FOOT-EIGHT and over 300 pounds." - UNDERTAKER, page 50

"... as this 6'8" Texas native began to fill out to around 280-290 pounds." JIM ROSS, page 4.

"- a 6-FOOT-8, 300 pound hybrid ..." page 1, anonymous.


Now I'll go as far to admit that this doesn't PROVE he's 6'8", but why would a guy who's billed 6'10" say he's 6'8" in a magazine published by the company he works for?


Here's an excerpt from WWE UNSCRIPTED, a book published by WWE in 2003:

"People said to me, 'You fill out a little bit at 6'8", you could go someplace.'" - UNDERTAKER, pg 39


Here's a few other excerpts regarding heights from UNSCRIPTED:


"I was 17 years old, 6'2" or 6'3", about 180 pounds." - EDGE, page 21

"So I told him, 'Vince, you got guys here that are 6'10", 7 feet; 300, 350 pounds. I'm 6'2", 250 pounds ... If you take my personality away from me, I can't compete with anyone here.'" - STEVE AUSTIN, page 41 (imagine being 6'2", 250 and feeling small)

"I'm 6'10"." - NATHAN JONES, page 61

"I'M SEVEN feet tall in my bare feet, and I weigh 453 pounds. My dad was 6'5", my mom was 5'10". The milkman was 6'10" ... draw your own conclusions." - BIG SHOW, page 73

There's probably a few more I'm missing, but this is all of them talking out of character.

Alex says on 9/Aug/08
UT is 6'7 tops today. Kane is 6'7-6'7.5 minimum. I see Kane an inch taller than UT today. A peak UT would be pretty much the same height as Kane is.

KIDDIES and NEWBIES alike, Taker was NOT his billed height back in the day and is NO LONGER the 6'8" he used to be.

Id love Taker to be measured today :)

NashOwnsAll says on 9/Aug/08
Undertaker is I believe between 6'7.75 - 6'8 in recent years, his height hasnt changed other than from the footwear he has at the time, and even so it only variates between 0.25 inch.

6'8 co-incides well with a 7'1 Khali, there is around a 4.5 - 5 inch gap between the 2 in that staredown they had for the first time.

Alot of people think Taker is 6.6.5 because of that staredown with Albert. There are dozens of staredowns undertaker has had with various wrestlers that he is atleast 6'7 but that all gets nullified by one single photo of him and Albert.

Instead of downgrading Undertaker, perhaps we should upgrade Albert, he's a huge man and even next to the big show he's not dwarfed like other so-called 6'6 wrestlers (Batista, Scott Hall, etc) were

Ghost says on 9/Aug/08

If you say Taker is 6'6 than Khali becomes 6'10-11 and Big show becomes 6'9.

He was billed 6'8" in the USWA Click Here (listen at the 24 sec mark)

And sorry I highly disagree I see a very clear footwear advantage for Albert in his match with UT.

KingNick says on 5/Aug/08
I just got a chance to check out the new UT/Albert photos. It is so obvious to me that Albert has a footwear advantage here Click Here he was getting pushed at the time they probably wanted to make him seem more monstrous.

Look at the toe and then the heel. It goes up into a lift. I think had UT had ever so slight of an advantage on Albert too, maybe 1/4" Click Here

I'm open to the fact that UT could be 6'7" now, it's certainly possible. Personally tho, I still think he's 6'8" and I put Albert at 6'6". In the match with shoes: Albert 6'8.5" and UT 6'8.75" Click Here again, I think they were trying to make Albert as tall as UT on purpose since he was getting a push at the time.

How is taker taller than A-Train but only 6'6 1/2. How does a man going from being billed at 6'10 to 6'6 1/2. So he lost 4 inches?.. really? You know Ola, James Brown was really 6'5 but lost 2 inches now he is 6'3? oh yeah Michael Jackson is 6'3 maybe 6'4? I mean, Ola that is what you sound like

You obviously don't know the difference between someone's billed height and someone's real height. Taker was billed at 6'10 but he wasn't really 6'10, nor has he ever been 6'10. He was billed at 6'8 in WCW, so how can he be taller than that? Plus why are you picking on Ola, he's not claiming 6'6.5 for Undertaker, is he. He's actually agreeing with you.

A-Train was billed at 6'6 at University and he was still billed that height in 2006 when he wrestled for NJPW (he was listed in cm's so don't come up with he's 6'6.5 either). So one thing we can be sure off, Albert ain't taller than 6'6. Some people claim 2" lifts for Albert. In the match with Taker his boots were smaller than during his match with 6'8 Akebono and still Akebono measured up better to Albert, than Taker does, so how can taker be 6'8 as well. Akebono wore flat-soled boots, which probably gave him only a 0.5" height boost, which would make him 6'8.5 and still he had easily an inch on Albert. So Albert's boots couldn't give him more than 1.5" tops (unless he's shorter than 6'6). And in the match with Taker they probably gave him an inch tops, making him 6'7 in ring gear. Taker being half an inch taller, would therefore be 6'7.5 in ring gear.

The Undertaker/Albert staredown is one of the best staredown I've seen of Undertaker. We see a full-body, straight forward shot (so no camera advantage for either man) and then we see a close-up, where we can see their height difference better. I've yet to see a comparison like that between Taker and Khali. Khali had an easy 5 inches on Kane, and Kane always had an inch on Taker, so how can Taker be 4 inches shorter than Khali. Something doesn't add up.

Red says on 7/Aug/08
adam, very good estimation. But I think Hogan was not 6´6"peak,
more 6´5"-6´5.25" and Big Show was 7´0.5"-7´1"peak

Da Man, bad Loser, even with size 16, 2 inches Lift are easy possible.

Ola says on 7/Aug/08
adam your kidding right?! taker was dwarfing scott hall totaly! atleast 3, maybe even closer to 4 inches between them!

Frank says on 7/Aug/08
KingNick, Taker was friendly but he did not talk much Paul Bearer was a grouch
Macho Man and Brett Hart were not that Friendly Lex Luger was a nice guy and also Mart Jeanetty was cool

adam says on 7/Aug/08
Scott Hall was a legit 6-5 prime. Check out his match with Taker in youtube. He holds his own and looks just slightly shorter. About 2, max 3 inches.

Undertaker was a close 6-8 peak. I think Rob has it very well here. 6-7˝ sounds very good to me.

Hall: 6-5
Taker: 6-7˝
Sid: 6-7˝
Hogan: 6-6
Nash: 6-10
Show: 6-11˝-7`0"
Khali: 7-1

Damn you can´t show short woman shoe´s for such a comparison.

Alberts has no tiny woman-foot, his foots are size 17+"

Funny stuff. So Alberts shoes are 1 size smaller than Show's?

I see Undertaker at 3.5" over Goldberg. Both are standing with similar, average posture. Goldberg i'd say is 6'3" barefoot compared to guys like Brock Lesnar. Undertaker therefore looks about 6'6.5" barefoot in that photo.

It is possible the photo is tilted slightly in Goldberg's favour though, so Undertaker could look up to 6'7" when you take that into account. I don't see him being over 6'7" barefoot these days anyways so that seems about right.

Clay says on 6/Aug/08
I actually agree with what this 'brain' guy is saying and not Danimal/Alex. If Undertaker is 6'6.5 these days how in the hell did appear 5 inches under Khali in 2006? The only way that is possible is if he had a 2 inch advantage in the shoes we all know Khali is about as legit a 7'1'' as it gets.

Clay says on 6/Aug/08
Batista is a strong 6'3'' and Undertaker never looks as low as 6'5'' next to him Miko. Always 4 or 5 inches taller.

KingNick says on 6/Aug/08
hey Frank, I may have asked you this before, but I know you've met a lot of wrestlers. Who were some of your favs and who were the biggest? How were UT and Paul Bearer?

"Da Man, typing, typing and not viewing posted pics. Look at my pic down with Albert and Akebono and see what I´ve identified!!"

Red, I've seen the pics and there is no way that boot is providing 2.25" over barefoot. This is the kind of extreme foot angle that is required to get 2.4" over barefoot. Click Here

Goldberg's probably standing at 6,3" in shoes, and it looks like he is standing fairly straight (thought not completely) and Taker has a bit of a slouch. Even then I can still see about 4 inches between the two due to Taker's extremely long forehead. If he stood straight there he could easily look 6,8.5" next to Goldberg.

His build doesn't help matters either. He's noticeably slimmer than guys like Goldberg and Batista these days.

miko says on 6/Aug/08
Undertaker's height is weird to judge.

He can look as tall as 6"8-9 next to big guys like Kane.

But he can look as low as 6"5 next to others (Batista, Goldberg, Helms)

I would pin him at 6"6.75 or 6"7 flat, and 6"8.5 in ring gear.
