Rob, where're you going to edit his height ot 203-204cm?
NCL says on 1/Sep/10
This should be very very interesting Click Here allegedly, a 6'9" woman is going to be on NXT next season. If she really is that big, I wonder if they'll ever let her stand next to 'Taker, Kane, etc...
Click Here jjb says on 1/Sep/10
yeah rob...
taker is taller than 202cm...
204cm is good... JayC says on 31/Aug/10
I assume that when a true height is given, it is without shoes or boots of any kind. Different footwear adds different numbers of inches. We know that, don't we? But I can hardly believe that any big man, like UT, could walk on the top ring rope wearing lifts. Even a much smaller man would have trouble with that. These guys must have tremedous dexterity and balance! M3T states the Andre the Giant was only 6'11". Say WHAT? Reliable records claim he was about 7'3" or 7'4" tall. Normal-sized wrestlers were afraid to compete with him because of his tremendous strength, also. While the WWE, etc. nearly always claims greater overall size for their "superstars" than can possibly be true, I think some of the commenters here are doing exactly the reverse! The truth probably lies somewhere between. Red says on 30/Aug/10

How big are his lifts here? Im going out on a limb and saying he isnt 6'6-6'6.5. adh says on 21/Aug/10
i will pay sid at 6tf7 and taker at 6ft8....if he is going out of kayfab admitting he is 6ft8 maybe 6ft9 in 'this is my yard' then i will atleast pay 6tf8 for him....6ft9 seems a little farfetched for him even if other wrestlers say he is that tall..... NCL says on 20/Aug/10

I met Sid in street clothes and too be honest Sid did not appear that tall to me. I know in the Ring Taker looked about a half a inch taller but in person Taker appeared alot taller
Do you think maybe Sid was a lift wearer in the ring, or maybe just had poorer posture in person? How tall did Sid seem to you in person? ez e says on 19/Aug/10

I can clearly see that in the picture Frank ! Frank you have met both SID

Mamum when i met Taker he was ok BUT Pauld Bearer seemed like a Grouch!!! Mamun says on 17/Aug/10
This picture was taken on the 2nd of Deceember , Monday 1996 around 10 pm !
They both looked huge and they didn't stand next to each other ! I found it
hard to tell who was taller ! But SID looked more muscular and was a much
friendlier guy !

Supermun anonymous says on 16/Aug/10
not 6'8.5" peak. 6'8" maximum. NCL says on 16/Aug/10
Good God, he towers over Mamun! Mamun, there's always debate between him and Sid, would you say UT was taller being that you met both?
I noticed something at Summerslam last night - when UT came out of the casket, he had on different footwear. Up to that point, his footwear looked pretty large to me, similar to Randy Orton's. Last night it look smaller. Maybe they're doing this so Kane will appear a full inch or more taller in their new fued?
These are the boots UT's been wearing lately: Click Here
This is an older pic, but these are the same boots I believe UT was wearing at Summerslam: Click Here

he claimed he was 6'8/6'9 in the dvd. which means he was probably 6'8.5 at hs peak. hs2010 says on 14/Aug/10
Joey says on 13/Aug/10
Click Here - WWE Messed up once and put Undertakers real height in the tale of the tape. it's from 2003.
I've wanted to see that for ages! Thanks for posting.
Also, why is the lowest bill always correct? People don't believe higher billings, so why take lower bills as gospel? Christian isn't only 5'10, the Hardys are over 5'11" and I've seen Edge and Orton listed as 6'2" before, which is too low for both those guys.
If The Undertaker is only 6'6" these days, then how tall are Jack Swagger & JBL?! They must be 6'3", lol becasue there's no way that Taker could move around the ring like he does in 2-3" lifts. Alex2 says on 13/Aug/10

"I love how people give wrestlers taller heights than their lowest billings.
Taker's peak height PRE-2001 was 6'7.5"
Today he is between 6'6"-6'6.5"..."
Undertaker said himself he is between 6'8-6'9 in late 80's. we have alot of evidence to say he was atleast 6'8.5 back then. Yet you say he's 6'6 and you post no evidence to proove it. So unless you're going to post pictures or proof, stop commenting on other peoples contributions. Robby says on 12/Aug/10
Dicksock I could care less if you think my pictures are useless. at least I contribute to this site and not make stupid comments and have the decency to use my real name. oh look at me my name is dicksock ha ha ha. grow up. what are you 16? I think your height estimates are close to mine. just the way you handle things with someone who might think differently then you absolutely sucks! how are the pictures useless? explain how they are useless and then I might take your opinion in consideration. in my opinion I think they show clear height difference between Hogan and Undertaker? so then the pictures have use! so I am setting the table for you dicksock. I am going to hold your hand and now dicksock tell me why you think they are useless. miko says on 12/Aug/10

Joey says on 9/Aug/10
Hogan's peak height was about 6'6. He said it was 6'7. he can getr away with a small lie like that. Undertaker was 6'8.75 in his prim. hes just about 6'8 now when he stands up fully, which is rare because he has a very bad posture these days. He doesn't seem to care about wanting to look tall.

Justin Bailey says on 25/Jul/10
Ive been on here for months. I try to put together all the evidence. I strongly believe now, that taker did indeed struggle, with a 6'8'' peak. before he came to the wwf, he was billed at 6'9'' in wcw, and 6'8'' in cwa, world class, and uswa. Now they do tend to give you 1-4 inches on a bill to make you look like a monster. Its all a part of kayfabe. I now believe that taker is about 6'8'' with boots on, but without hes prolly right at 6'7''. Spivey is 6'6'', sid was at lowest, billed 6'7''. honestly, I believe that. and It makes it clear. Kama, aka papa shango. when he had first entered the wwf as kama, he was billed at 6'4'' lowest billing. and 6'5'' as shango. I believe the 6'4'' claim seeing as taker was roughly 3 inches taller than he. glen jacobs had a lowest bill of 6'7''. I believe that. Taker, Sid, Spivey, and Jacobs, are all around the same size, with different body structures. I had seen an episode of raw where they put mark henry up against the big show. They gave a tale of the tape that night. and I promise that It had big show at 6'10.5''. Henry was between 6'1''-6'3'' Im not sure. but I honestly believe that with boots on, taker prolly was 6'8''-6'9''. watch some of his early matches from 91. some matches were 6'9''-6'10'', but I heard from sean mooney state that he was near 6'8''. and monsoon said in one match, "Such great agility for a 6'8''er 9er. and in old mags from 92 it states that taker was 6'8''. but it also had crush at 6'8'', Hogan at 6'8'', and razor ramon at 6'8''. clearly, taker was taller than all of them. now whats interesting, crush, at lowest bill, was listed as 6'4'' when he was part of demolition. i used to have the magazine. but no longer do. do some searching. I believe now, that taker is between 6'6'' and 6'7'' barefoot! have a great day peeps

JBL possibility of being 6'5.5"?
Not impossible, but I doubt it. Like Vegas said, he was listed as a flat 6'5" in the NFL and was identical in height with a measured 6'5" US army General when WWE visited Iraq a couple of years ago. So I'd say a flat 6'5" fits him better. Vegas says on 3/Aug/10

Ok. If hes 6'8'', that would make dan spivey every bit of 6'7.5-6'8''. his police record had he at 6'6''. taker was not that much taller than spivey. when spivey wore big heals, he was taller than taker. soo I believe those two are pretty close in size. taker may have an inch on spivey. but I know that boots do make a difference, because Diesel was about 3.5-4 inches taller than waylon mercy, and right about 2 inches on taker. soo there are some bizzare things happening there.

My 6'5" room mate wears biker boots, because he is a biker, and he is easily 2" taller in those boots than compared to normal shoes.

Who is this John weston troll? Joey says on 25/Jul/10
John Weston knows what he is saying is wrong, he's merely saying it for attention and to cause annoyance. Just don't post anything relating to what he say's as it's pure nonsence. Undertaker is a minimum of 6'7.5 and a max of 6'8. Personally i beleive in his prime he was 6'8.5 but has lost 1/2-1inch. Shock says on 25/Jul/10
In response to the comment about Taker and Jake, Taker had 2.5" on 6'5" Jake who had nearly a 1" footwear advantage on Taker in 1992. Jake's boots were bigger than Kane's, Mark Henry's, or Big Show's are today. grave digger says on 25/Jul/10
well there goes the Taker gigantic forehead theory...Hogan is 6'1/4". John Weston says on 25/Jul/10
megaadeeel says on 24/Jul/10
If taker is 6'4" then scott hall is only 6
feet tall. Have look at this pic.Click Here
That pic is like 12 years old.Undertaker has aged and has lost about 4 inches of height due to the punishment,surgeries,aging and bad posture.Watch Ric Flair's Farewell where Undertaker enters the ring and exits and stands before Mcmahon.McMahon comes till his forehead.So 4 inches is the difference between Undertaker and Mcmahon and Undertaker is no more than 6ft3.5 barefeet. miko says on 24/Jul/10
Big Show: 6"11.5
Undertaker: 6"7.5
Big Show at 6"9 is utter rubbish, he's still looking close to 7"0 when he stands up tall. Khali/Shaq staredowns prove that. megaadeeel says on 24/Jul/10

See the Undertaker and Big Show staredown,Undertaker is 4inches shorter than Show.Many sources tell that Big Show is only 6ft9!! so that would make wreslers like Undertaker,Sid,Kane 6ft5 and we are talking about barefoot heights and These wrestlers would be 6ft4. So hows the estimate? Clay says on 22/Jul/10
You havent supplied anything of Taker looking 6'6-6'6.5 other than your height loss and boot lift theories, Danimal. Vegas says on 22/Jul/10
i have met him 3 times and i have met michelle mccool who is now his wife, 6'4 is not correct grave digger says on 22/Jul/10
John Weston, id have to say that perhaps your measuring judgement is not so accurate sir. But you do claim to have met the man so best i can do is say point taken sir, but not accepted. Joey says on 22/Jul/10
John Weston, you sir.... are simply lying. There is no chance in hell Undertaker is 6'4. The smallest he can look with bad posture is about 6'6. But when he stands fully straight (rarely) Then he looks a solid 6'8. The only way he could look that short to you is if you are wearing boots with 2 inch heels making you 6'4 and he was barefoot with bad posture 6'6. Danimal says on 22/Jul/10
Clay says on 16/Jul/10
Undertaker at anything under 6'7-6'7.5 is just pure speculation by guys like Danimal.
Okay kid John Weston says on 22/Jul/10
grave digger says on 21/Jul/10
Claims like UT is 6'10 is exagerated but not nearly as the latest 6'3-4" bs.Even Khali is now on the shortlist....
Well Undertaker owns a real estate as you know and i go there frequently.I guess no one on this thread have met The Undertaker except Frank.......... Im 6ft2 and believe me he was a little over an inch taler than me maybe even 2....so Undertaker is Definetley no bigger than 6ft4! Justin Bailey says on 22/Jul/10
The Kevin Nash is the most enormous 6'5.5'' person ever! That means that guys like papa shango are like 6'-6'1''. hahahaha man these ppl are annoying. I guess the frank guy in the pic above is about 5'8''? and Paul Bearer about 5'7''? What are you guys toking? adh89 says on 22/Jul/10

I agree with TNAfan. Undertaker is a legit 6ft4.He is only taller than McmAhon by four inches or so! So anything above 6ft4 is just bull ****! Khali is clearly not taller than 6ft10.WHen i met KHali in SAI,he told me that he was 6ft9.5!

TNAfan, if The Undertaker is only 6'3.5", then how do you explain the difference in height between him and The Rock, as evidenced in the video posted by Hundert21. The rock is at least 6'3", and he's been listed as high as 6'5" at the University of Miami during his football-playing days. I would venture to say that Taker is at least the 6'7.5", his listing above, and quite possibly taller than that. TNAfan says on 18/Jul/10
There is no way The Undertaker is 6ft7.5! look at Vince Mcmahon and Undertaker staredown.Undertaker was maybe taller by 4inches....or less than 5ft11.5 Vince.So 6ft3.5 for The Undertaker is an exact measure.Hop I helped you and I will definetley find a sorce which tells the truth!

Undertaker at anything under 6'7-6'7.5 is just pure speculation by guys like Danimal. NCL says on 16/Jul/10
BIGALW says on 15/Jul/10
I've played softball against Sid for years. The guy is 6'8" and huge. I hung out with him and Mark Calaway a few times at Hernando's Hideaway in Memphis. It's probably 15-20 years ago but Mark was no less than 6'9" then. I'm still the same height Sid is still the same height, so i don't see Mark's height being that much different.He might be a little less due to the punishment his body has taken, but anyone saying he's in 6'6-7" range has never been anywhere near this guy .He's huge, you can argue over 1/2 inches all you want both guys are very big men. And Sid can still kill a sofball but can't run any more.

Theres just no way the undertaker is under 6'7 so anyone saying so should rethink what they are typing. He's only 1.5 inches shorter than 6'9/10 Nash, and 2.5-3 inches taller than 6'5 JBL.

How does Alberts posture differ from Akebonos there? And prove he was listed at 6'5. the guy is a weak 6'7 in my eyes.
Albert has perfect posture. His back is completely straight and his he is lifting his head slightly backwards. Akebono's posture is more relaxed. I'm not saying his posture is bad, but if he would assume the same type of posture as Albert there, I'm sure he could squeeze out an extra inch.
And if we look at their footwear, another 0.5-0.75" disadvantage for Akebono because Albert has heels and Akebono is in very flat shoes. Vegas says on 12/Jul/10
i met test, he appeared 6'5 in person, he was 2 inches taller than chris masters and i saw them standing together for 5 minutes and walking to the dressing room at an indie show in 2008 (both men in sneakers), i got good photos of me and my brother with masters a few months back, chris is ~6'3

Proof of Albert being 6'6" in the NFL has been provided here before. I'm sure Vegas or JT might still have that picture of Matt Bloom's football career with his stats from the NFL.
I can however provide you proof of Albert's listings while wrestling in AJPW, which is quite shocking! Joey says on 11/Jul/10
I can't beleive for a second that Test was only 6'5. i remember him being taller than Bradshaw/JBL in some of their matches as well as only being 1/1.5 inches shorter than undertaker during there summerslam match in 2002. 6.6 Minimum. Alex2 says on 11/Jul/10

For Andre, he was also billed at 7´0.5" during that time, so who was right?
There are like 7 that refer to his height at either 208cm (6'9.75") or 210cm (6'10 2/3") in France and 1 poster from the UK that refers to his height at 6'10". Those are OFFICIAL promo posters, as distributed by the promoters themselves. The poster that lists his height at 214cm is not an OFFICIAL poster, as there's no name of the promoter or location listed on it anywhere. The data might've come from an actual poster, but than again, it might not.
Promo posters are not pick and choose, Red! If the majority of the wrestling posters say 6'10-6'11", and various promoters have listed him at that height in different countries, than it's safe to assume he was no taller than that height back then.
Btw, the poster with the 214cm listing, also exaggerates his weight at 171kg (376 lbs). Andre certainly didn't weigh that much in the 60's.
As for Big Show's height loss. In 1996 when he stood opposite of Haystacks he had impeccable posture, plus a footwear advantage.
In his staredown with Akebono, his posture isn't nearly as good as it was (his upperbody is somewhat leaning forward). Akebono comes up slightly above Big Show's eyebrow, which should be close to a 3.5" difference. Anonymous says on 6/Jul/10
Vegas, in your pic Big Show is 438 pixel and Akebono is 422 pixel, so do the math. A 6´8" Akebono results in a 6´11" Big Show.
For Andre, he was also billed at 7´0.5" during that time, so who was right? We don´t know, but I proved that an old broken down Andre was a good 6´10.5" with Tyler Mane and at his peak Andre was taller than that.
For Wight´s heightloss, I still think he lost a bit from his WCW days, If not ´- bad news for Haystacks who was max 6´6"flat in that case Vegas says on 6/Jul/10
wight lost height at 33 and one month?? going be quite hard to prove that, there is nothing wrong with akebonos posture there and both men are closer so its easier to compare, looks the same difference as i posted in earlier staredown Click Here
red; why do you think andre was listed at peak at 6'10 age 23 just out of interest Red says on 5/Jul/10
Vegas, in your pic the height difference depends on how much bigger Big Shows boots are, because the difference is more than in their barefoot staredown.
With boots Akebono is slightly over Big Shows eyebrows.
Barefoot Akebono is in the middle of Big Shows forehead.
BTW
Akebono was listed at 204cm and that´s closer to 6´8.5" than 6´8"
Albert could be less than 6´6", 6´6.5" is the max possible height I can put him at!
Miko, there´s noway 4 inches when both are barefoot and their posture is comparable!
Look at 5:10 onwards, both are stretching out and Big Show has even less than 3 inches on Akebono.
Click Here
During his entrance they describe Akebono as 6´8" and at 4:32 they say "Akebono is almost as tall in height as the Big Show..."
6´8" isn´t almost as tall as 7 foot!
Click Here Even in their first staredown Big Show is barely 2.5 inches taller.
I believe peak Andre would´ve edged Big Show out at WM 21 but I think also Big Show had lost height at that point. Alex2 says on 5/Jul/10
If Undertaker is less than 6'8 today then Khali is under 7'1, which is near impossible. WWEHeightZone says on 5/Jul/10

This here may really stir things up, photo of 'Taker and Michelle McCool (5'10"?) from their wedding. To be fair she's probably wearing heels, but how big??
Michello McCool is no doubt 5ft10 and in those 3inch hells women wear she is definetely 6ft1.I know this may sound odd but a woman's heels[ when standing next to a tall person] is 3 inches. so Undertaker has bent his neck and when he stands straight up he will have 8.5 inches on Michelle.So that would put Undertaker at 6ft9 WITH boots. So 6ft7.5 Undertaker barefoot is the right estimate. NCL says on 4/Jul/10

red neither akebono nor albert were listed as tall as you have them in legit sports
albert ain't 6'6.5, i would be pretty confident saying that, when i met the guy on the street in nyc in 2004 he didn't even look 6'6, i would be beyond surprised if he was taller than penn jillette who looked taller to me in 2006 when i met him
wight akebono staredown, the height difference really depends on how big you think wights forehead is, either way akebono was taller next to wight than giant haystacks was Click Here miko says on 4/Jul/10
Show had at least 4" on Akebono in awful posture.
Look at this:
Click Here
The AVERAGE person, has a 4.5" forehead, Big Show's head is huge and he likely has at least a 5" forehead, when you compare it to others.
So, given that Akebono come's barely above his eyeline, Show has a minimum of 4" on Akebono in there staredown.
IF Akebono is still standing 6"8, then Show is certainly looking in the 7"0 range with him. For Show to be 6"11, Akebono has to be 6"7 and that would put Undertaker down to 6"6. Red says on 4/Jul/10

Tuga, there wasn´t a 4 inch difference between Big Show and Akebono. Look at their staredowns, that´s 3 inches max.
Akebono 6´8.5", Big Show 6´11.5", Albert 6´6.5" the truth says on 4/Jul/10
alberts boots werent that freakin big! and reguardless, taker still didnt have a full inch on albert! and in that one video when sid was staring down taker, look up michaels and hart face off. sid is clearly taller i believe by an inch. taker at wm was wearing thicker boots than sid was. i believe theyre either the same height, or sid is marginally taller. i used to collect the hasbro figures and on the back of the first taker card hes at 6'8'' and sids was 6'9''. takers second card was 6'10 1/2''. we know thats not true. I truely believe that taker, sid, kane, albert, are all in close proximatey of each other with kane being perhaps the tallest. although kane does wear thick boots at times. i believe sid and kane are very similar.

Akebono had more height on Albert than Taker did.
Nice pic Big Show but if you draw a line you´ll see that the picture is tilted in akebono´s favor, when debating such small differences this is important and taker and akebono would come out about the same.
On to the comparisons the thing is that big show is 4 inches taller than akebono barefeet, using khali as a measuring stick since he had staredowns with taker and big show we know he is 1 inch taller than big show and 5 inches taller than taker (max really...), so again both akebono and taker come up about the same...either way, its a close call.
By the way Big Show, can you get the tag match I mentioned in the previous post? Big Show says on 4/Jul/10

Albert doesn´t have 4 inches on Bob Sapp in this video. Albert is in his wrestling boots and Bob Sapp is barefoot, yet I don´t see Albert coming much over 6'7" (in his boots) based on this video.

"You're just making excuses"
So I´m making excuses, you say kane looks taller due to bigger footware, but not for albert or jake roberts??
Legit staredown? Yeah righ, he´s really standing tall there...
About sid, take a look at his page, you have some recent comparisons.
As for akebono he is a legit measured 6'8, and I estimate albert around 6'6 also, the point was his BIG footware making him look very close to 6'8 men.
I´m know really curious how you estimate men like Big show, Jbl, khali and Nash taking into account your "most likely 6'7" Taker. dicksock says on 2/Jul/10
What about albert?? I´ve posted videos of albert looking same height as legit 6'8 akebono...
Still on footware also go take a look at the footware jake roberts was using at the time...also there was never a proper staredown with both men standing tall.
You're just making excuses. Jake and Undertaker had a perfectly legit staredown at the "funeral parlar" and you know it. I don't care how tall Akebono is listed as Albert was not above 6'6". Besides Akebono may have lost some height being as fat as he is for so long. UT wasn't any taller than sid really. Maybe like by .25", but that is irrelevant. Sid was no taller than 6'7" therefore UT isn't 6'8". He was most likely 6'7" and maybe 6'7.5". I can buy 6'8" MAYBE just maybe. But there are people saying he was around 6'9" in his "prime" and that is literally some kind of joke. The odds are he was a strong 6'7" (6'7.5") at the tallest. Tuga says on 1/Jul/10
dicksock says on 1/Jul/10
All of these people claiming UT was a strong 6'8" or 6'8" period are ridiculous. He was barely taller than Albert and did not have 3" on Jake the Snake. 6'7.5" is literally perfect. Sid was 6'7" as well.
So you mentioned in kane´s page his big footware:
"dicksock says on 1/Jul/10
...Kane often wears huge heels in his boots and can look over 6'8" in them."
What about albert?? I´ve posted videos of albert looking same height as legit 6'8 akebono...
Still on footware also go take a look at the footware jake roberts was using at the time...also there was never a proper staredown with both men standing tall.
Jbl is no less than 6´5 so about jake roberts height and taker has 3 inches on him, this of course with similar footware and good posture.
Also, since you have him at 6'7 1/2 I can´t understand how an half an inch difference is ridiculous to you. dicksock says on 1/Jul/10

The thing about the Taker/Khali staredown(s) is Taker stands as tall as he can (obviously...when you're faced with someone 5+ inches taller than you) while Khali slouches (who stands erect when having a staredown with someone 5+ inches shorter than you?).

Taker is no less than 6'8 even today, I understand that some people may think he´s shorter due to his usual horrible posture, the same horrible posture that made him look barely taller than jbl at a time and when he stood straight was easly 3 inches taller...

don't think i have ever seen khali slouching, his posture in staredowns is the best i have ever seen in a wwe/f ring, khali stood impeccably with the likes of cena, beth phoenix, johnny knoxville all of whom he has over a head on, thats about the best we got with khali and taker though taker still has a high-camera angle advantage Click Here kane next to khali for comparison Click Here
if taker has lost 2 inches he would be no taller than crush (brian adams) today maybe even shorter, were he still alive, taker even wore adams' ring-gear at one show back in 98 when his own got lost, thats how close in height those guys were back in the day; like i said i saw taker and dustin rhodes aka goldust in november, taker had him by 3 inches both men in sneakers Tuga says on 21/Jun/10

In my opinion id be very suprised if The Undertaker has even lost a cm, Danimal if he was below 6'7-6'8 then why does he have 3" on legit 6'5-6'5.5 JBL and comes within 5" of 7'1 Khali.. Clay says on 20/Jun/10
JT...Gonzalez would have been 5-6 inches taller than Khali, so he would would have ''dwarfed'' him I suppose, but still frame-for-frame his muscle mass didn;t even come close. JT says on 20/Jun/10
Clay, I think Gonzalez would have been closer to 450 lbs. than 400 lbs. there. He looks in better shape and larger there as compared to when he was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks at around 400 lbs. He had 4-5 years to get in so-called wrestling shape. Here’s an article on the guy who made the suit he wore on Regis Philbin’s show: Click Here I assume the tailor measured the chest. He’d have no reason to measure Gonzalez’s overall height or weight. I know it will disappoint you, but I think an early to mid-1990s Gonzalez would have Khali by around 50 lbs. and would physically dwarf him, Big Show, Andre, and every other so-called wrestling giant.
In that initial staredown Taker had with Khali, I would like to see a full body shot to see how wide Khali’s stance was. Taker measured up better next to Khali there than Kane did in his Munsters, yet Kane in those same boots was taller than Taker. It does not add up.
So LV was GREAT and UNBIASED? Did he die and be elevated to sainthood, Danimal? LV was as opinionated and derisive as many on this site, especially when trying to defend Andre as a 7 footer. You need to get some real friends instead of clinging to anonymous posters from years past. miko says on 20/Jun/10
Taker at under 6"7 would seriously raise questions over other wrestlers heights. For one, it would make Khali barely 7"0 when he's stood eye to eye with a 7"1 legit Shaq.
He's still over 6"7 in my opinion. He wouldn't get within 5" of 7"1 Khali if he wasn't. Alex2 says on 19/Jun/10
Danimal Im just going to give up with you, you are clearly an uneducated low life fool who thinks a 45 year old has shrunk over 1 inch, so what is Khali 6'11? mate? Give me a break and get a job, thanks. Clay says on 19/Jun/10
Do we have any evidence of a big height loss like that Danimal or are you just assuming its in his boots? megaadeeel says on 19/Jun/10
here is a pic of taker standing next to HHH. looks pretty tall to me. Click Here Anonymous says on 19/Jun/10
here is a pic of taker standi Click Here next to HHH. looks pretty tall to me. Vegas says on 19/Jun/10
how exactly was he great danimal?? what did he contribute that made a difference?? he agreed with jason on gonzales and he also agreed with jason on wight, he claimed wight was listed in college at 6'10 and played power forward, both were wrong, he was also certain andre was over 7ft, again been proved wrong on that, thought bob backlund lost inches by 1994 lol Clay says on 18/Jun/10
Gonzalez probably a lean 400-410 pounds JT, amazing. Danimal says on 18/Jun/10
Alex2 says on 12/Jun/10
A 6'7 today Taker would make Khali NO MORE tha 7' FLAT, Take today is still 6'7.5 if not a full 6'8.
He's not even 6'7" anymore today. He wears much larger boots nowadays to compensate for the height loss he suffered in the early 2000's. Danimal says on 18/Jun/10
Vegas says on 15/Jun/10
JT, whats quite interesting to me looking at undertaker/gonzales videos again was that taker looks shorter next to gonzales than shawn michaels does next to kevin nash around the same time, visibly taker is a much smaller man than gonzales, michaels held his own mass wise with nash, taker did not with gonzales, even the difference in footsize between taker and gonzales is incredible, i still chuckle when i remember jason and LV telling me how wrong i was to suggest gonzales was even close to 400lb, LV actually thought gonzales weighed 320lb
You're knocking a GREAT and UNBIASED former contributor (LV) to this site, when he's no longer around? That's brilliant Vegas. How petty of you to do so. Alex2 says on 18/Jun/10
If that Is Nash in that picture from JT then he measures up VERY well IMO looks near 7' there. JT says on 18/Jun/10
This pic Click Here ought to silence the Gonzalez is 320 lbs. (or even 350 lbs.) crowd. Even if that was during Thunder in Paradise, Hogan is still at least 240 lbs. there. In Poster Chris’s pic of Gonzalez and Nash in comparable footwear, Nash measures up noticeably better to Gonzalez than Taker does in both height and weight Click Here
Tuga, those are different boots Gonzalez is wearing in your pic. Plus, that's probably just a design rather than how thick the soles are. When you are a legit 7'6", you could easily be billed at 8'0" even if you wrestled barefoot. Frank says on 16/Jun/10
Vegas I emailed his website they say he grew to 2.32 he has Acromegly so it's possible he grew alittle more than 7ft 6 now he is wheel chair bound Tuga says on 16/Jun/10

JT, gonzales boots are not that small, as you can see, he was billed at 8 feet and size was the only thing going for him.
Vegas, yes, gonzales was huge at the time, IMO over 400lbs, he was actually mentioned as 403lbs in that article about him in the NBA:
Click Here Vegas says on 16/Jun/10
if gonzales measured 7'7.25 that would mean he was the tallest player in the nba in recent history, manute bol measured 7'6.75, Gheorghe Muresan measured 7'6.5 and shawn bradley at 7'5.75
gonzales was listed at 7'6 by the nba so he wasn't taller than that, there is rumour he grew after leaving wrestling by i seriously doubt that Frank says on 16/Jun/10
Alex2 I believe Gonzalez was measured @ 7ft 6 he later grew to about 7ft 7 in change after he left the WWF Alex2 says on 16/Jun/10
Im sorry but Taker looks nothing less than 6'8 next to Gonzalez in all your photos JT, He was measured at 7'7.25 by NBA, Taker looks 6'8-6'9 there. JT says on 15/Jun/10
Tuga says on 14/Jun/10
JT, look at the ring ropes, Gonzalez has the camera advantage on your 2 pics from your first link, even more on the second one, also, in the first one its even noticle a tilt in Gonzalez favor...
Also, footware advantage for taker, where can you see that??
Click Here In that first link Click Here Gonzalez has at most a slight camera advantage in the left pic, since the camera is on Taker's side (rather than straight on). Gonzalez definitely has the camera advantage in the right pic. Vegas says on 15/Jun/10

Im sure Kane is over 1.95meter and under 2meter Alex2 says on 12/Jun/10

Alex2, the top of Taker's head should have been at least around Gonzalez's chin level. Click Here However, considering that Gonzalez has around a 12 inch head, Taker would be only about 6'6" if Gonzalez had a full head size on him. Taker also had between a 1/4 to 1/2 inch heel advantage at WM 9. Click Here Click Here
Nash looked at least 2 inches taller next to Gonzalez when both were in tennis shoes. NCL says on 10/Jun/10
Here's a Sid/Lord Humungous and UT/Master of Pain Photo: Click Here
Here's a clip from a match of there's in the USWA: Click Here
Brief Clip on Eli Cottonwood: Click Here Vegas says on 10/Jun/10
General Odierno is the us military leader over in iraq who is claimed to be 6'5 tall, he stood next to a number of wwe guys last year including big show, jbl etc Click Here all the us news networks claim him to be 6'5 Click Here Click Here;contentBody
no alex2, thats the only time gonzales is standing fully straight with taker the rest of the time he is looking down bending his head and neck, he did the same with sid in their match, taker is nearer the camera remember so it even out (as thats a low camera angle shot)
on the sid point in some photos taker looks slightly taller and in others sid looks taller re: the old memphis photo with sid playing the lord humongous character Big Show says on 10/Jun/10
Clay says on 9/Jun/10
HS you keep mentioning him...who the hell is General Odierno?
Some time ago some pictures appeared on the WWE-website, which contained pics of WWE superstars with American Troops. One of them was a general who claims he's 6'5".
Those pics can probably still be found on the WWE website. Da Man says on 9/Jun/10
If Taker was only 6'6" this would have been exposed long ago, like with that 6'5" General. Same goes for Kane, we've got Kane clearly and plainly taller than legit 6'5" guys in both wresting gear and street clothes. Anything less than 6'7" at a bare absolute minimum for either of these guys is just a pipe dream. Clay says on 9/Jun/10
HS you keep mentioning him...who the hell is General Odierno? Alex2 says on 9/Jun/10
Has anyone seen this new guy in WWE Eli Cottonwood? Hes billed 7'1 and looks evry bit of it, wonder what hed look like next to Khali, Big Show etc. NCL says on 9/Jun/10
Alex2 says on 8/Jun/10
Anyone got the pic of Taker and Sid? Im sure Taker has 0.5-1" on him
Check my post from June 8th, right before yours, there's several UT/Sid staredowns in that album Alex2 says on 9/Jun/10

Look at thsi photo Vegas, Takers eyeline is clearly lower than Sid's (take note Barret) and Taker still comes out an inch taller, this proves Taker has a VERY LARGE forehead. Taker - 6'8 Sid (6'7-6'7.25) |
