Ultimate Warrior's Height
6ft 1 ½ (186.7 cm)
American Wrestling Legend. He once filled in his stats as Height "6'4" and Weight "280".
When I graduated from high school, I was 5' 10" and weighed 155 pounds. Now I'm 6' 3" and depending on how long I've been on the road, I stay between 275 to 262 pounds.

The Ultimate Warrior's peak height is a bit difficult to ascertain, because he "looked 6'3", standing across from Arnold in 1984, and he looked an inch taller than the legit 6'2" Sting when the two of them tagged as the Blade Runners in 1985. However, by 1989, Warrior appeared to be 4+ inches shorter than Hulk Hogan, who was probably no shorter than 6'6" at the time. Then in 1992, Warrior appeared about level with Randy Savage who was barely 6'1.5" tall.

SeanR, both in their prime I give Sting the edge on Warrior. He could have been 6ft2¼ up to 6ft2½ while Warrior was arguably 6ft1¾, maybe 6ft2 at a push.
Interestingly, Sting was always billed 6ft2 and looked it at least while Warrior was billed 6ft3 yet always looked comfortably below that beside guys who were legitimately that height (i.e. Rude and Luger)

Hi Rob,
Regarding Warrior do you feel confident that he is 6’1 1/2” at peak rather than 6’2”?
Myself and other have posted images of him and Sting back in the mid 80’s and they looked practically the same and Sting is listed here at 6’2”. or is there a possibility Sting could have been a weak 6’2” like 6’1 3/4”?

In his prime he was 6’1.75” barefoot & 6’3” in shoes. He was huge & ripped from 1988-1991, when he fluctuated anywhere from 262 to 275 lbs. He was 253 to 255 when he was briefly in the WCW. During the post WWF/WWE steroid trials in 1993 he dropped all the way down to 238-240 lbs.

Ultimate warrior was 285lb at his peak. And 6'2 at his peak or near it. At death he was only 5'11 at most. But where did those 3 inches go?

275lbs isn't that hard to imagine. In the 80's he was probably closer to that than 250lbs
Still think the full 6ft2 peak, minimum 6ft1¾ like Hennig. Bam Bam Bigelow could have been around that as well. While Sting really could have been more 6ft2½ range, strong 6ft2 at least. He edged Warrior when they were tag team partners

He was 6-1 at his autopsy, age 55, do you guys really believe when he was in his thirties that he was on a half inch taller? I don’t think so, I guess at his peak he was something between 6-2 and 6-2.5 (188-189cm).

@frank burjan yeah but Arnie had larger biceps which is why I find it hard to believe he was said to be barely 250 in his prime.
There was a pic on here with arnold and warrior when he was in his bodybuilding days and warrior was both taller and thicker than arnold arnolds arms where probably the same size as warriors just his smaller frame made them look bigger

Editor Robthe Ultimate question is whether he was really 6ft 2 range in his 30's...there is a fairly strong argument and many believe it.
Another wrestler who mentioned him as 6ft 2 was Bret hart:
"One new arrival was Dingo Warrior, a six-foot-two 'roided-up bodybuilder named Jim Hellwig."

@panthiest. Have you seen the picture of them together? Warrior is taller and better built. You might be right arnies arms might be bigger and might be more shapely but warrior had significantly more mass at around 285 at his peak. Arnie was about 250lb at his peak. There is a picture i got sent of warrior somewhere on the net where warrior was reported to be 310lb. His arms were also bigger than in wrestling. And he had more mass t hfan even when he was dingo warrior at 285lb before he started wrestling.
As for height around 6'1. Maybe 6'2 at a stretch. He was slightly taller than sting in the beginning.

Warrior was between 6'1 and 6'2 when he started wrestling. He was both taller and carried more muscle mass than arnie and there is a picture of them standing together.
Warrior shrunk alot when he was older. He would have been no taller than 5'11 at his death as he was no taller than Vince McMahon. And vince was never over 6'0 tall if even that.
Americans are so insecure about their heights that they add at least 2 inches to however tall they are in bare feet. No your height does not include shoes and then rounding up your height in shoes.
Wwe adds 2 inches to almost every wrestlers height because they have height inferiority complex.

ROB do you think Warrior's height needs to be changed in light of new evidence that he was actually measured at death at 6'1? Link: Click Here Also Ed Connor's claim that he measured Warrior at 6'3 peak.
To the other poster, if you read Paul Walker's autopsy report, it was an ESTIMATED height after traumatic injuries in a car accident so bad that he could not even be identified.

I'd mentioned in the past on here I did see Warrior up close but never took a photo with him...although here is a photo I took of him.
He was 46 I believe when I saw him.

Ed Conor’s who helped Warrior in his younger days and was an architect measured all the bodybuilders he got started.
He says he was always meticulous. He says he personally measured Jim Hellwig at 6’3.
In his autopsy they measured Warrior at death at 73” or 6’1. I spoke to a doctor I know who assured me all autopsy measurements are meticulous. The autopsy is out there as a public record in the U.S. you don’t get much better than a record that stand up in a court of law. 6’1 at death.

Peak: 184cm (185 in shoes)
He looked 5'11 when he returned in 2014 before his death.
With wrestling boots he'd be near 6'2. I'd say a strong 5'11 in 201 and 6'0 and change during his prime... He did wear cowboy boots a lot and they add a good 5cm to ones height.

They're never gonna be the next Rock or Austin or Cena though, no matter how good they're creatively booked. Pro wrestling has to tap into the mainstream once again first. But these days, Reigns has done some movies and TV show cameos lately (especially when he took time off wrestling in 2018-19 because of his leukemia), so he has a better chance than Mcintyre. As for Omo, I'm not saying that he's not athletic and doesn't have potential to be great, but we need to wait a while to see how he grows and develops, that's all. Strowman is another "giant" that seemed promising at first, but WWE often failed to book him the right way. He was given a world title run earlier this year, but it was very boring and unmemorable.

@Christian 6'5 3/8": With the right booking and creative, Reigns and McIntyre have the potential to be Rock/Austin level and break out into other fields of entertainment....and Omogobehin could be Andre or Big Show 2.0 with the right back up...just saw some clips of him, he actually has a personality and is agile for his size...coming from a sports background. Plus he's actually a little below 300lbs which is lean for a 7fter (normal BMI aswell!). Andre, Show and Khali spent most of their careers above 400lbs, sometimes brushing 500...and were not very athletic in the ring

Another reason why the bar's been lowered is because wrestling's no longer a big mainstream attraction, at least not to the degree it used to be 20+ years ago. And you're right, the last mainstream household names post-Attitude Era (those who entered WWE 2002 and later) are Cena, Orton, Lesnar, and to a lesser extent CM Punk, Bryan, Eddie Guerrero and Rey, but that's about it. Those are probably the only guys who most non-wrestling viewers will know or at least heard of, if you ask a random stranger in the streets. But I doubt most of those same people will know who the newer guys like Reigns, Mcintyre or Owens is. The fact is, less and less people are turning away from wrestling as the years pass by, and part of that could very well be due to the talent feeling less special and not standing out as much. But the way the wrestlers are being booked and scripted is largely to blame. WWE management doesn't seem to know how to create new breakout stars these days anymore. If they can't even quite book Reigns and Mcintyre (the 2 faces of the company ATM) the right way, then there's no hope for Omogobehin. I just can't agree with him being anywhere near on the top 10 list, regardless of his size.

@Christian 6'5 3/8": Again, they're just my personal preferences. McIntyre, Reigns and Wyatt get a pass. They look like wrestlers and Wyatt is better than what he's doing. But there's a reason Daniel Bryan and Kevin Owens didn't break into the WWE 12-15 years ago...they didn't meet Vince McMahon's criteria. In my opinion, WWE have let the bar drop. Nothing wrong with smaller guys...but they need to stand out from the crowd. Bryan, Owens and Styles don't stand out as special...Rey Mysterio, Ricky Steamboat, HBK and Owen Hart stood out. Omogobehin is new but none of the 7fters were really known for their mic skills including Andre, Khali and Big Show...their presence alone said so much...that's their appeal. Orton, Cena and Lesnar are the last marquee names in WWE....no one since then has really done it. Reigns and McIntyre have the potential to go there but WWE have put the kibosh on that

@Rampage
But even some higher tier stars today like Mcintyre, Reigns, Wyatt, and Keith Lee don't fit that "skinny" or "indy" mold that you described guys like Bryan and Styles do. While it's true that wrestlers on average have gotten smaller, not all are small. Nothing wrong with having a preference for giants and big men, but Omogobehin has barely gotten his feet wet in wrestling, has zero charisma or personality, and hasn't even cut a promo except for a couple of words. He's currently only there as Styles' bodyguard, and hasn't even wrestled a single match on the Main Roster. To even put him in the top 100 right now is crazy talk IMO. We need to give him a few years before putting him in any "top" lists, or at the very least when he eventually breaks away from Styles and gets his singles run.
@J2
My top 5 in the last 10 years are: 1.Lesnar 2.Orton 3.Cena 4.Bryan 5.Punk. If we narrow it down and only say 5 years, I'd remove Bryan and Punk and add Rollins and Reigns. But it's safe to say that no one in the last 10 years had a bigger influence in changing the landscape of wrestling than Lesnar, that's why he's my #1.

My top 5 in the last 10 years are: 1.Lesnar 2.Orton 3.Cena 4.Bryan 5.Punk. If we narrow it down and only say 5 years, I'd remove Bryan and Punk and add Rollins and Reigns. But it's safe to say that no one in the last 10 years had a bigger influence in changing the landscape of wrestling than Lesnar, that's why he's my #1.

@Vincent: I def have Taker in my top 5 and probably 3 in reality. I liked UA but it’s hard to say my favorite wrestler as I would for a basketball player such as Michael Jordan or football Emmitt Smith or Michael Irvin (hell I liked Jay Novacek too) being a lifelong Cowboys fan. Or in baseball Chipper Jones (oddly) and Cal Ripken

I don't know about you but I'd pay to see a 7ft2 jacked beast over these skinny dudes who look like part-timers who work at Burger King to pay for their gear to wrestle indies at weekends...Kevin Owens, Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles...that is laughable...no offense to them, I'm sure they're nice guys but they aren't even in my Top 50...Taker no doubt is one of the most iconic and I loved him aswell...at little shoved down our throats at times though...but I'm strictly goinf off the top of my head with who I enjoyed watching...Omogobeihn in my humblest opinion is only thing worthwhile currently...everything else is run of the mill

@Christian I didn’t put Cena in there because I find his Lawful Good face act kind of boring. I’ll give you a recent years top 5:
Kevin Owens (5’11?)
Daniel Bryan (5’7.25)
Bray Wyatt (6’1.75)
Drew McIntyre (6’4,75-6’5)
Roman Reigns (6’2.5) (I wasn’t gonna put him here until his post Summerslam heel run)
Honourable Mention: AJ Styles (5’8.25, was gonna make the cut till Roman returned as a heel)

@J2
Great listing. How about the top 10 in WWE of this era? (last 5-10 years) I'd say Lesnar, Orton, Cena, Styles, Bryan, Rollins, Reigns, Owens, Wyatt, and Mcintyre (not in order). I wanna put Taker in there, but I feel he hasn't delievered as much impact in those years, since he wrestled only a small handful of matches and was way past his prime.

My top 10 (I’ll include height guesses)
10. The Rock. Charisma for days, awesome look and incredibly entertaining. Peak 6’2.75, current 6’2
9. Andre the Giant (RIP) Ultimate big man in pro wrestling. Peak 6’11, 6’9.5 at death
8. Shawn Michaels. Charismatic, ahead of his time as a technical wrestler. Peak 5’11.5, current 5’10.5
7. Bret Hart. Another skilled technical wrestler, this time with slightly less charisma in favour of a more devastating finisher. Peak 6’0
6. Randy Orton. Brilliant heel character, be it as the legend killer or otherwise, and always puts on a classic match. 6’4.25
5. Ric Flair. Great charismatic heel who’s been in the business for 50 years. Peak 5’11, current 5’9
4. Rey Mysterio. Brilliant technical wrestler who not only managed to succeed in an era when big men ruled wrestling, but also carried his agility and charisma on into the current era. Peak 5’2.5, current 5’2
3. Mick Foley. Definitely the face (or rather three faces) of hardcore wrestling but also brilliantly entertaining without it. Peak 6’2.25, current 6’1.25
2. Edge. Brilliant as both a face and a heel, on his own or in a tag team. I became a huge Edge fan the minute I first watched one of his matches. I didn’t know who he was, but my (at the time) kid brain thought he was so cool. Peak 6’3.5, current 6’2.5
1. Undertaker. He has all of the traits I like. Cool character and personality, devastating finisher, good look, and charisma. I think many people will agree with me when I say the Undertaker is the greatest professional wrestler of all time
Honourable mentions are: Kurt Angle (5’10 peak, 5’9.25 current), Kane (6’7.5 peak, 6’6.5 current), Triple H (6’2.25 peak, 6’1.25 current)

#1 Billy Graham (6ft3½) Hogan basically stole his gimmick
#2 Big John Studd (6ft6½-7) Best classic giant heel
#3 Ultimate Warrior (6ft1½-2) Had the best physique by a mile. Inspired young men like me to pump iron
#4 Rick Rude (6ft3½) best heel ever and 2nd best physique
#5 Curt Hennig (6ft2) best overall performer
#6 Chuck Palumbo (6ft4 peak, 6ft3½ today) so underrated, should have been bigger
#7 Test (6ft4½-5) again underrated and underused. Gassed to the gills though. Didn't look great toward the end
#8 Jordan Omogobehin (7ft2) Barely got his beak wet but the fact that WWE have hired a guy like him again when it looked like they never would....only one worth watching now
#9 Randy Orton (6ft4-4½) Loved him in the mid 2000's
#10 Hulk Hogan (6ft5½-6 peak, 6ft3 today) Most overrated, overpaid, overentitled and greedy employee in WWE history but did bring wrestling into the mainstream

I would consider Hulk for #1 all time. He brought the sport to a whole new level in the 80's and was a top dog in the 90's in the NOW as well. He has the same peak as the Rock but way better longevity.

Hard to say, because up until the past 5-10 years or so, women's wrestling (especially in WWE) was often seen as an afterthought and played second fiddle to men's wrestling. But I'd say Trish, Lita, Alundra Blaze, Chyna, Eve Torres, Asuka, Sasha, Charlotte, Becky, and AJ Lee, again not in particular order.

Sorry, but the Hogan, Warrior, and Macho Man type gimmicks were never my favorite. While all 3 of them had tons of charisma and great physiques (especially Hogan and Warrior), they felt forced and not genuine enough. I'm also the type to value promo skills a lot. As far as promos go, all 3 were mediocre, and none of them were even close to being in the same league as Flair and The Rock, which is the main reason why I think they're tied for the #1 greatest IMO. As for Orton, he's gotta be the greatest of this era (past 15 years), if not, at least the top 5. He's still killing it in 2020 in his feud with Mcintyre.
@J2
Edge would be in my top 20 or even top 15, but I just can't see 10, sorry. I know many would disagree with me though.

If you look at photos of Warrior standing next to Sting in 1985, Warrior appears to have .5 inch to .75 inch on Sting, who was a minimum 6'2" flat-footed. Warrior may have been 6'2.5" (peak), but I'd say no taller, because by late 1992, the 33-year-old Warrior appeared level with the 6'1.5" Macho Man who was 40 years-old.

Warrior was max 6'2 when he started wrestling. About the same height as sting. Warrior was 285 lb at the beginning of his wrestling career in about 1985. He shriveled up to maybe 5'11 and 200lb at his death.

Warrior looked to be same height as Sting back in the mid 80’s when they were a tag team.
Peak: 6’2”. Before he passed away he looked just short of 6’1” maybe 6’0.5”, 6’0.75”.

I would say 6'2 peak no problem when looking at him next to similar billed wrestlers and he holds his own near bigger guys like Hogan.

Having seen Warrior stand toe-to-toe with Sid Justice, Kamala, Hogan, and so forth, there were few people that outsized him in over-all stature - period. He had the development and the height to impress audiences and the other wrestlers. Might have been a few inches shorter than some of these guys, but was a work-out master! When lifting 300 pound people for a press, height seemed to be of little concern, when those people fell from 8 feet up, to the hard mat!! God Bless Warrior, whom spoke it how it was, and lived a epic life !

Not sure about the new guys but I think you're about right for peak on the older guys.
Hennig is a hard one to guess, at times look's 6'1, other times 6'2.5. I know he was big on standing on his tip toes when next to other wrestlers.

I think you're right, when I met him in 08 I'd say 6'1 tops, peak of a 6'2.5 maybe. Looked to be 6ft at the time of his death.

Ive been watching some youtube videos of Warrior in 2005.
Interestingly he says he weighs 35lbs less than his peak (he was 45 at the time) and he says he still occasionally gets up to 250lbs.
Id guess he was weighing 235lbs to 240lbs at the time.
As far as height i'd say 6'2 peak, as with most guys who lose height you can see in later life his neck looked shorter, he looked hunched, his arms looked long.
When I met him in 08 I'd say he was just over 6ft. He still had very broad shoulders but his big suit jacket made it hard to determine his weight.

Warriors hair made him look much taller than he was. I always thought he was huge but it was more to do with his physique and puffy hair that gave the illusion of a 6-4 monster. But looking back now he was barely 6-1 in boots. I would say 6-0 without boots.

Here is the ultimate warrior and Arnold in 1985 or 1986. I dont know but Arnold looks not big so I believe it's far from his retirement of Bodybuilding in 1980.
Nevertheless, the ultimate warrior is taller. I do believe that he was a strong 188 cm at least in the 80's.

Rude, Hennig and Savage need pages. Rude was one of the few who looked his exact billed stats (6ft3-4, 250lbs), visibly taller than 6ft1-2 range guys. Hennig at 6ft3 is a stretch when you see him with Rude. 6ft2 is reasonable but there's a chance he was a little under it at worst. Around the same as Warrior (arguably 6ft2 aswell). Randy Savage didn't really look his billed 6ft2 but definitely not under 6ft like some have guessed. Near 6ft1 in his prime is believable.

I met warrior at a talk a few years back. I'm 5'11.5 and he just shared me. Bear in mind this was 20 years after his prime... 6"0 on when he passed.
I would agree, I met him in 08, I'm 6'05 and I'd say he was pretty much eye to eye with me.
We had similar style boots, I would have said 6'1 tops.
I've shared my picture on here plenty of times and there's nothing between us.
I read an old Bodybuilding interview with him where he said he hovered around 263lbs in 1990.
In most pre wrestling stuff he was listed at 6'2 or 6'3.
It can be incredibly hard to tell with wrestlers, most have terrible posture and very few actually seem to care about their height or looking tall.
I'd give a peak barefoot Warrior 6'2 dropping down to 6'05 when I met him

Ultimate Warrior is a 6.1'5 man... perfect example. He could easily pass for 6'2 in the outside world, yet when compared to wrestlers around or near his height, his listing is perfect. For some reason a lot of 6.1'5 guys claim 6'3.. its hilarious. It's still a tall height.... Warrior always edged out 6'1 guys like Randy Savage. RIP. As for Sting, he is 6'2 without a doubt... just look at his matches with Goldberg (in the past) and Triple H (recently) , he stills maintains the 188 cm mark.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s he appeared very close to the same height as Randy Savage who was 6'1.5". I'd say that Warrior was 6'2" at his absolute tallest, but no taller. Back then the WWE was known for embellishing the heights of their wrestlers, but all of Warrior's action figure packages listed him at 6'2." I can't imagine the WWE displaying a wrestler as "shorter" than their actual height.

Not surely he did wear lifts but he certainly looked shorter when he returned in 92. He had 2 inches on 5'11 Flair and was barely any taller than Savage.
I'd give him max peak 6'2 and by the time of his death I'd say a flat 6ft tops.

You can even tell by his frame, and limb length to know he is no more than 6ft ... Also back in his days the WWE bills height like crazy, I mean like 3-5 inches. 5'11 warrior, 6'1 warrior when in ring with his lifts.

There is a video on YouTube when he appeared in a German TV Show together with Jake Roberts, the host is Thomas Gottschalk, known for his height in Germany 6-4, he is also a guy who like to wear boots, so try to compare...IMO something between 186-188, so 187 is a good guess, maybe 189-190 in his peak.

I met Warrior in 08 and he was around my height 6'0.25. After recently meeting Hogan and seeing the height difference between them I'd give warrior 6ft. Looking at his old matches he may have been 6'1-ish peak but I do believe he was a lift wearer. Warrior had noticeable height on Savage pre 91 but when he returned in 92 they were pretty much eye to eye. Warrior either lost significant height or dropped the lifts.

Warrior in lifts with 6"0 Vince.....With lifts Warrior was always 1.5inch taller than Vince in early 90s. Warrior's hair cut in 1990-91 stood at times about 2-3 from his head, which explains the appearence of being shorter in 1992 with shorter hair and less body weight.

Peak maybe 6'2. I'm guessing he had lifts back in the day as he towered over some guys in 90-91 who he was barely taller than in later years. Savage for example. RIP Warrior
I disagree. Savage was actually the taller of the two as seen in pictures of them together as the ultimate maniacs.

Hogan wasn't 6'6 anymore by then though. he'd already had one of his knee operations and neck surgery or something. He was about 6'4 by then so that makes warrior 6'1.5

"Ultimate Warrior height: 6ft 2in (188cm)"
Easily 6ft3+ in those boots. Looked more 186-187cm in the last few years. His death last year was very tragic.

Just because, Warrior said on his own site that his weight fluctuated between 262 and 275 towards the end of his first WWE run (from 1990 or so). Earlier on, in his IC days, he was a solid 280.
Power Slam Magazine, who were very conservative about estimating and stating wrestlers' legit heights and weights, said that Warrior was 280 at his biggest and dropped to 220 by the time of Wrestlemania VIII. I've been reading some old Wrestling Observers recently and they said that Warrior's weight bounced up and down during his second WWF run, most likely due to cycling. I saw him myself at Summerslam 1992 and he was closer to his old size by then, probably about 260 and far bigger than Randy Savage.

he also told me that randy savage was only like 6' or 6'0.5 and curt hennig was only 6'1 and he was a little taller than curt.

In the documentary Ultimate Warrior Legend recently, he was definitely shorter than 6'2 Triple H. He looked shorter than him back in 1996 too at Wrestlemania 12. He even looked marginally shorter than 68 year old Vince McMahon in the documentary.
I would give him 6'1 at the time of his passing. RIP Warrior, most entertaining WWE star ever.

I used to have my photo on here with the Warrior, I'm just over 6ft.
I'd give Warrior 6'1 maximum (2008)
Peak maybe 6'2. I'm guessing he had lifts back in the day as he towered over some guys in 90-91 who he was barely taller than in later years. Savage for example. RIP Warrior

Warrior Fan, could you post a link to the interview you're referencing to? Warrior was generally billed at 6'2 (and so was Hawk by the way), and considering the general habit of WWE of overbilling (especially in those days) it seems pretty unlikely that he was taller than that.

No matter what his height was he was the "Ultimate Warrior". My favorite wrestler when I was a kid. The guy was full of energy,mystery,strength and had that crazy muscle build with arm ties. One of a kind for sure. Height only matters to the insecure or ignorant.

RIP warrior. He showed us how we should be built. Even though only 187, he looked tall. So yes My estimate, even a weak 6'1 is tall in shoes.

I have to agree with you, I'm a little over 6ft and I'd say warrior was pretty much my height. Could have maybe stretched out to 6'1 but also could have been slightly under 6ft.
I stood next to Sting in 03 and i'd have said 6'2 on the nose, no taller than that, good posture.
Going back and watching old Warrior matches and interviews it seems he may have been an occasional lift wearer. Some times he had 2 or 3 inches on savage and other times they where nearly eye to eye.
he looked a couple of inches shorter in his 92 come back. I wonder some times if you lifted weights for years and you hit your 30's and have a long break that when your muscles atrophy you don't actually lose height. It seems action stars, bodybuilders and wrestlers lose big height when they get older, more specifically when they have extended periods off the gym.
Warrior was the coolest wrestler I ever met.

met him at a PCW event in March 2012. I'm 5'10 3/4 and he seemed just slightly taller than myself. I have a video of him from the same event with a buddy of mine who is basically the same height as I am, and I'd say Warrior hovers around 6'0 even. Same impression I got from the pic I took with him. We also met Macho Man and he is very close to our near 5'11 height. Sting looks a lot shorter in old NWA and UWF stuff I've seen on WWE Classics. After 1988 it looks like Sting grew some.

Sounds correct to me. And it follows the paradigm that WWE normally uses for billing wrestlers in that they usually add about 2 inches to each wrestlers height.

Warrior and Sting were very close in height, I've got Warrior at 6'1.5/6'1.75 for his prime, and Sting at bang on 6'2, both could be a hair less than that today but I don't think either man has lost much.

His ex wife stated on a radio interview a few years back that when she first met him he was 6"4 but that is defiantly not true of course even in his 20s. I also remember the Warrior himself answering a question in an interview in the 90s when asked "Were you always a tall guy?" in which he replied "I was 5"11 when i left high school then grew to 6"3 which is my current height. I'm actually tall for a ex bodybuilder, but in the middle in the wrestling business" So after meeting him in person I'd give him 6"2 prime measuring height but he's wide framed so appears short when stood alone!

I think Vince is 5'11 and since warrior is 6'1 and wearing boots they gave him the edge so if the boots were 2 inch they would make warrior 6'3. Vince was wearing Tennis shoes. Warrior and Sting were the same height pretty much.

Cant believe Savage has passed away, A TRUE legend.
Been reading that he weighed up to 260lbs in the last 10 years and then suddenly lost lots of weight.
A massive difference from Bonesaw to the be a man album he released.
I give the Macho man 6ft and 230 as an average.

Well personally I don't think there's a bigger Warrior fan out there than me and I have no reason at all to downgrade him bit i would say he was 6'1 ish.
He just wasn't that tall, I stood right next to sting a few years ago and I'd say he was a solid 6'2 and Warrior was shorter.
Totally awesome guy, I've met plenty of wrestlers and non where as cool as him.
Piper and Dibiase where both great guys as well.

I saw sting wrestle twice in 1993 and he looked 250-260.
He was much smaller in 2003.. he hardly had any muscle, he looks bigger now. It was when sting had been away from the ring for a few years, a WWA show.
The one thing i remember from the 1993 wcw shows i saw was how big Rick Rude was. He looked his billed height and weight to me at the time.. I expected him to be skinny but he was far from it..

He couldn't have been 6'2.5" peak when his tag team partner STING who is 6'2" was taller than him in the 80's? When he fought Hogan in 1990, Warrior was packing something in his shoes FOR SURE.

Well, Warrior looked really tall. I first estimated him in the 6'5"-6'7" range. After standing beside Hogan, I thought he looked a legit 6'4" but now I read 6'2"-6'3" for his height and that surprizes me.

i am 6'1.75" at the end of the day, and i met Beefcake & Hogan in person at a strip club in clearwater, he had normal shoes on and was a solid 2.5" taller than i was. i know this for sure because my father is 6'3.5". and he was an inch taller than my father. Hogan was the same height as my father. Hogan had terribly bad posture though, so its possible he stands taller than 6'3.5", he was wearing sandals and walked like an old man....I also met Hogan as a kid in the eighties with my father backstage at a wrestling match in tampa, and he appeared 2+ inches taller than my dad from what i recall.. so it is likely that hogan wore lifts when he was young...

I remember how small steiner looked compared to triple h when they did the posedown thing..
Could have been 5'11.. The baggy shirt hid his size.. i was right next to everyone from 2003 insurection. they all got off the bus and spoke to fans while getting their bags... I just remember at the time been really disappointed at how small steiner was...it was my first time seeing him and i expected so much more. I expected a beast!
Ive heard his weight as high as 290 and low as 235.. when you look at him with the NWO back in 98-2000 he certainly never looked heavier then hogan or even hall who i think where 270 and and 260 respectively..
I stood 2 feet away from steiner and he was in regular street clothes and i believe he was 5'10.

I remember how small steiner looked compared to triple h when they did the posedown thing..
Could have been 5'11.. The baggy shirt hid his size.. i was right next to everyone from 2003 insurection. they all got off the bus and spoke to fans while getting their bags... I just remember at the time been really disappointed at how small steiner was...it was my first time seeing him and i expected so much more. I expected a beast!
Ive heard his weight as high as 290 and low as 235.. when you look at him with the NWO back in 98-2000 he certainly never looked heavier then hogan or even hall who i think where 270 and and 260 respectively..

Scott Steiner was 290 pounds in 2000. He lost a lot of weight, but didn't go as low as 235 pounds. He was around 5'11".

I couldn't really call it between me and the warrior... we were both wearing similar boots..i'd say we were pretty much the same height.

I was near scott steiner in 2003 outside a hotel in newcastle england.. He was wearing a pretty baggy muscle shirt, i'd say he seemed 5'10.. really hard to judge weight...maybe 235LBS

I swear Animal was small, not only in height but build as well.. He looked 225lbs to me... I was a huge wrestling fan and the larger then life size of these guys always amazed me when i was a kid.
Ive stood next most of the main guys outside hotels and i always check height...
Scott steiner was short as well nd not as big built as i would expect... Most of the heights on here seem pretty much spot on to me. HBK 5'11 and rvd around the same...I remember the undertaker not been quite as tall as expected... But scott hall looked 6'5 easy... I think footwear and posture makes a huge difference.
So many wrestlers used to wear cowboy boots or big biker boots.
I still say they put some heights up...but not all!

Vegas- He looks around Bret's height there. He also could have been 6'0" at peak. Either way, he did lose height as he had hip surgery and probably other surgeries as well.

Ben i havent met any wrestler :( but i doubt even you have since you put them at those ridiculous height. Martel at 6'0 is impossible since he was almost a full head shorter than 6'2 jerry sags, in fact mortel looks more like 5'7.
Animal was 1-2 inches shorter than hawk, who was nothing under 6'1
Ola ive sent rob the pics with me and the wrestlers, ive got one with flair where he could be as low as 5'9, i tower over him, the one with martel theres about 0.5 to 1 inch between us.
I agree with your estimation, i thought he would be 5'9 tops.
All i can put it down to is the way he walked and stood in wrestling, his knees were always bent and he never stood tall.
Ive seen plenty of wrestlers who were nowhere near their billed heigh and plenty that are.
Until you stand next to someone, talk to them and get photographic evidence you never can be sure.
Everyone did seem to tower over martel in the past.... all i can come up with is bad posture.

Jannetty was 5'9 and animal isnt 5'11.

just keep in mind, when warrior appeared in the ring with hogan in 1998 for his infamously long and rambling promo, he was wearing COWBOY boots. hogan was wearing nothing but his usual wrestling boots.
also, for reference, its well established that hillbilly jim is a legit 6-5. look at this pic here of hillbilly with warrior circa 1988-89. Click Here photo gallery 4, first pic. BIG difference.

Check it! If Sting is 6'3", he height was underrated. In the WCW days, I remember Jim Ross stating Sting being 6'1 240 lbs from Veince Beach California. As for Hulk Hogan, he was never 6'8, 6'7, or even 6'5 for that matter. How tall is Tom "Tiny" Lister. Well Zeus, Deebo from Friday. He was noticable taller than Hogan. I mean at least 2" taller. You know, I remember Hogan being talling than Sting.

sting edged out warrior in height, this was clear when warrior debuted in wcw in 1998, warrior was clearly the shorter man, they tagged a few times in 1998
And Hogan towered over Warrior in 1998. 100% Warrior had lifts from when he was the champion in the WWF. I think the man is 6'1".

sting is taller, find a pic of powerteam usa, all 4 stood together in the exact same footwear and you can clearly see sting is taller, its on UPW website.
I stood right next to sting on a wwa tour and he was DEFINETLY taller then me, a slight bit over 6'2... you cant judge on one picture when you can only see their heads!

Hogan was in fact down to 230 pounds in 1993-1994, which he means he literally lost 100 pounds from his heavier bodyweight of the late 70's/early 80's.

I recall back when the Warrior was known as the "Dingo Warrior" in WCW and later "Rock!" He was paired early on with "Sting" and both were known as the "Blade runners!" And from every pic ever taken of them together, Sting was always at least 2 inches taller than the future Ultimate Warrior. Although The Warrior had 20 more pounds of muscle than Sting, I recall he was visibly at least 2 inches shorter and sometimes billed at 6 feet tall even.

"Alex, Hogan claimed in an interview that he had back surgery in 1990 and lost 1 1/4" as a result of that, reducing him from 6'6" to 6'4 3/4". I believe that he leaned out by a good 40 pounds but he stayed that height throughout the 90's, until 2001, when he chopped what would appear to be another 1.5" of height off his frame, reducing him to 6'3 1/4".
I heard Hogan was down to 230 pounds by 1993 or so because of the steroid scandal. He looked to be struggling with 6'3" 3 years ago.

I thought the difference was 2 inches at WM6, has anyone got any good pics? I doubt the Warrior has lost any height, why would he? He went down to 16stones from '92 onwards and has not had any major surgery, plus he hasn't really wrestled that much over the past 15 years and his schedule was super light when he did

To be honest i dont care how tall he is, before i met him i was expecting under 6ft.

There really wasnt a 5 inch difference between Hogan and Warrior at Wrestlemania 6, at most 2-3 inches. Granted both were wearing boots and it has been known for wrestlers to have lifts in them. Maybe more the incentive particularly as this particular fight was billed as 'Champion Vs Champion'.

If i had to say a figure i'd say 6'1.5 with a peak of 6'2.5.

He's pushing 6"2 here if you consider he's further away from the camera. 6"1.5 seems fair, but there is no doubt he was a fraction over 6"2 at his tallest.

Looks 6ft2. He's taller than Ben and Ben is closer to the camera. You simply can't tell someones height from your own eye sight Ben. There is 4 to 5 inches above your eyes. So it's hard to tell heights around your height because of the angle from your eyes to the top of the others head.

I actually thought he'd be a legit 6'3'', cause Hogan seemed to have 3 inches on him in 1990. But if Hogan was 6'5'' back then, 6'3'' is out of the question.
How was Warrior like as a person? He had a really crazy phase where his right wing conservatism made George Dubya look like a Hugo Chavez.

He began fighting Hogan in 1990 (I don't consider this Hogan's peak height. He was just shy of 6'5" by that point) and he had REALLY poofy hair and impeccable posture. Fast forward to 1998 when he fought Hogan in the WCW where I believe Hogan was down to 6'4.75", You can see that Hogan had him by at least 3". Hogan never fought him in the mid-late 80's, where I am confident the height difference would have been around 4", the same way Hogan towered Ed Leslie (Brutus Beefcake, who was essentially the same height as The Ultimate Warrior).
