Maybe 6ft2.5? But he's at least 270lbs. Ola says on 29/May/08
there is now proof to support a claim like that, hogan may has lost 1 inch TOPS due to age TODAY... no way more than that. most of his so called injuries was scripted excuses, he didnt lose any height from the few he had

Ola says on 29/Apr/08
MK, how come that the height differences between them was the same both in 1990 but also in wcw 1998 ?!
I never mentioned 1990 or 98, but since you asked i'd say Hogan would have lost a good 0.5'' over that period, though would have been 1'' more in his early career. Ola says on 29/Apr/08

warrior never had short guys like ric flair by more than 2 inches... i didnt believe it first but now i realize it, warrior was indeed only in the 6'1 range - which makes hogan not even a full 6'4 in his prime. even 6'3 is much more realistic than a ridiculous 6'5 claim!
Hogan was at least an inch below his peak when he and Warrior would even have been in the same room together let alone a wrestling ring, that would surely make Hogan at least 6'5'' at his peak by your own calculations. Ola says on 24/Apr/08

Ola John tenta was measured at 6'5.75 there is no way he is 6'4. Secondly Warrior was 6'2 in his prime wich would make Hogan 6'5 because in the pics you posted warrior is standing as straight as possible as Hogan is bent if he was to stand straight he would have warrior by 3 inches. Ola anything under 6'5 for Hogan is completely out of question. Ola says on 10/Apr/08
very interesting! i really believed warrior was 6'1 1/2 but now iam not sure anymore... could he be as short as 6'1?? after a second thought, yes he could be. that would defenly put john tenta at no more at 6'4(like i always has claimd) : Click Here
and, here's a much better pic with warrior and hogan couse in this pic we can see their feets(hogan only 2 inches taller) that would put hogan at around 6'3, which could be right on since he has never ever been a full 6'4. Click Here Click Here MK says on 8/Mar/08
Hulk Fan says on 6/Mar/08
it is very possible warrior grew considerably after High school, boys continue to grow into their 20's many times Hulk Fan, we never saw him before or after high school, we can only judge him by his WWF/WCW days in which he looked 6'1.5'' average 6'2'' at his very peak. Hulk Fan says on 6/Mar/08

He is no more than 6'2'' mr galaxy and hes been full of b.s every time ive ever heard him speak. His adopted name would tell u that sf says on 13/Feb/08
Ssuurrreeeee....Warriors younger brother... Warriors younger brother says on 12/Feb/08
Hey Ask me how tall was warrior Im 6"2 when I stretch up rite and my brother warrior when he stretches up rite and tall he measures 6"5.
email me on galaxysforever@hotmail.com Im known as Mr galaxy if you have any questions. Ben says on 10/Feb/08
Met him yesterday, im 6'1.5 and he was exactlay the same height as me, we were both wearing big timberland boots...i'l pots the pics soon...He was a really cool guy, talked with everyone nad signed loads of stuff.
he's still pretty huge as well.. Looked to be around 240lbs and lean. sf says on 1/Feb/08
Rob - still think your height is pretty good, here. Not even close to 6'3". I still can't go higher than 6'1". People base too much on photos of wrestlers who are known to have big shoes, to stand on telephone books, etc. etc. to look bigger in pictures and on tv... Vegas says on 17/Dec/07
warrior and 5'11.5" Ric Flair, not even an inch in the difference when you discount warriors huge hair Click Here Ben says on 9/Nov/07
Going to meet him on feb 9th next year , i'll see if i can get a photo with him stood next to me, il ask him his height and weight, im 6'1 and im expecting him to be 6ft. Ive got a bodybuilding magazine from 1984 or 85 with an article on him lists him as 6'3 and 275lbs. 20" arms cold, 28" thights, 19" calfs, 56" chest and 32" waist Kevin Durant says on 11/Oct/07
Classic Ultimate Warrior pictures in 1990's. I think in his prime the Warrior is a legit 6'2". He is one of the most intimidating wrestler back in early 1990's and he is also a former WWE Champion and 2 time WWE Intercontinental Champion.

6'2" Ultimate Warrior with 6'6" Hulk Hogan

with 6'1.5" Vince Mcmahon jav says on 22/Aug/07
Hogan = 6"6
Warrior 6"3 Halb says on 16/Aug/07
U think Warrior could have been 6'5? What do you think Hogan was? Halb says on 15/Aug/07
U'd say Warrior could be 6'4? What do you think Hogan was? jav says on 31/Jul/07
How the hell could be be a few inches taller than 5"11 and a few inches shorter than 6"3??? a few is normaly consider 3. The ultimate warrior stated in an interview he was 5"11 when he left high school and ended up growing to 6"3 which is his current height when he was measured. don't forget the warrior was a big build guy which mite have made him apear a little shorter, but a slim body on him and u'd be guessing his hight as about 6"4 - 6"5. Vegas says on 5/Jun/07
I met Don Muraco in a lift in the Hilton New York in 2004, just before hall of fame. I was next to him all the way down from near the top floor. He is legit between 6'0 and 6'1, he wasn't much taller than me but he was much wider Craiger says on 1/Jun/07
I personally havve alwasy had bulldog at 5'9" though he was taller then his wife who claimed 5'10" on her myspace. Ted says on 23/Feb/07
I met Don the rock Muraco when he was bouncing in Wellington (NZ) He is billed at 6'3" but I think he only seemed 6'1". So there is quite a lot of exaggeration of height apparently of wrestlers. Anonymous says on 1/Feb/07
I met Davey Boy a few times, I would say 5 ft 10 in to 5 ft 11 in Anonymous says on 30/Jan/07
There was a good pic of him on the net standing with Davey Boy and Hacksaw at Summerslan 92. He had a few inches on the 5 ft 11 in Bulldog was was a few below Hacksaw, who I reckon is 6 ft 3 in. Danimal says on 26/Jan/07
It's fair to say that he was between 6'5" and 6'6" then, but I am opting for 6'6", because right up until 1990, he was taller than 6'5" men. Danimal says on 24/Jan/07
Of course you opt for the lifts in the boots. I doubt the man HAD to wear lifts in 1979-1980. He was a very tall and large man back then. Kiat says on 23/Jan/07
The Ultimate Warrior looked to be 3 inches shorter than Hulk Hogan based on the pics provided by Legend Stopper. So I think Hogan was around 6'5" or so when he battled the Ultimate Warrior. This was one of the greatest matches in WWF history, the Ultimate Challenge! I loved the matches in the late 8Os and early 90s as compared to today. Ultimate Warrior was a very strong guy and I loved his finishing move. With him and Hogan joining forces, they are indestructible! Anonymous says on 8/Jan/07
Hogan was down to 6'3 3/4 in 1990 at WM6. warrior was around 2 inches shorter RKOchick says on 7/Jan/07
NO, he is not 6'1! When he was with (At the time 6'7) Hulk Hogan he was just a little shorter, i'd say about 6'3 maybe? Danimal says on 21/Dec/06
bossman at 6'1.5"???? You are insane. He was at least 6'4". Hogan had about 2" on him. Bossman was listed 6'6"-6'7" (1-2" shorter than Hogan's listed height and that's what he was). Jason says on 21/Dec/06
You are 100% right, SF. I've seen a lot of wrestlers in person (though most, being wrestling fans, don't believe my estimates) though not Warrior, but based on everything I've seen I would also have him just shy of the 6'1'' mark. sf says on 20/Dec/06
Now, I know how Glenn feels after he's seen someone, stood rigth next to them, and people don't want to believe the height. He really wasn't taller than 6'1" and I am reluctant to go that high. sf says on 19/Dec/06
That's my comment below regarding seeing him in Des Moines... Danimal says on 19/Dec/06
What was interesting was to see how much closer in height he was to Hogan in 1990, then he was to him in 1998. Hogan appeared a lot taller than the Warrior in 1998, then he did to him in 1990. Anonymous says on 18/Dec/06
No, just watched him for a while. And, I did pay special notice to his height, cause I noticed right away he wasn't as tall as I'd always heard. I studied him and really didn't think much taller than 6'. I assume he didn't have on any special shoes cause he was just working out at a gym in Des Moines, IA. I doubt he cared as much about his height then, but you never know. At most, 6'1". Danimal says on 18/Dec/06
He was also billed at 6'4" at one point in his earlier WWF days and then reduced to 6'2". After the WWF steroid hearing/controversy, The Warrior also dropped from a 275-280 to 235 pounds, along with Davey Boy Smith, would went from 235 up to 275 and back down to about 240-245 pounds. Lets not even talk about Hogan's weight loss after 1991. Jason says on 17/Dec/06
That sounds bang on to me, sf. Being a wrestling fan I would place him legimately at slightly under the 6'1'' mark. He was billed at 6'2''-6'3'' in wrestling. Did you interact with him at all? sf says on 16/Dec/06
When he was working out at my gym, he didn't have on any special shoes, or casual shoes, or anything with a lift. Just working out, not caring what anybody thought, probably. Not taller than 6 to 6'1"... Ray says on 15/Dec/06
There was only one Ultimate Warrior ever. I for a while thought there was more than one also when he reappeared during WM8 but that's just not the case. I got to meet him and shake his hand back in the later part of 1990 at a public appearance. I still have the pic - he was sitting on a countertop and shaking my hand. It was at Unclaimed Freight. I was only 10 at the time. All I can say is that he was huge; the veins in his arms looked like large cable wires. He had on flourescent reddish/pink pants and a yellow shirt; also had on black sunglasses; I'll have to pull out the pic one of these days. It was definitely a late 80's/early 90's outfit! - the good ol' days. I'll never forget it though; I was a huge Warrior fan....well still am (but Undertaker is my favorite wrestler). I remember saying to my parents "I'm never gonna wash this hand again" and I never did - HAHA just kidding :). My Dad is 5'11-6'0" and he said at the time that Warrior did look around the 6'2"-6'3" he was billed at since Warrior had a few inches on him. So, the 6'1.5" sounds about right; I'd say he's around 6'2". Jason says on 6/Dec/06
I think Warrior could have been 6'0 1/2'' based on sf's encounter at the bottom of the page. He's a reputable poster here. Derek says on 5/Dec/06
Looked 6'2" next to Hogan in 1990. ultimate fan says on 18/Apr/06
sting has always been listed as 6'2 or 6'3 and when they were the bladerunners warrior was a couple of inches taller Alex says on 8/Apr/06
I think he's about 6'2. No more than that. sf says on 14/Mar/06
Yea - just saying it again. I stood almost right next to him at my gym, and I am reluctant to go over 6 feet. Pam says on 13/Mar/06
I know for a fact that Jim Hellwig was indeed 6'3 feet tall.I am 5'10 and I don't recall having a problem kissing him. Jason says on 11/Jan/06
hillybillyjim.com - pic 1 of gallery 4. 6'5'' Jim with the Ultimate Warrior. Warrior looks 6'1'' at best. Zach says on 7/Jan/06
Hogan had around 3inches on Warrior in Wrestlemania 6 back in 1990.
I dont know if there was anything in Warrior's boots maybe there was since WWF wanted to bill this as an 'even' contest, champion Vs champion n all.
But the difference certainly wasnt in the 5" range which one would expect if Hogan was really 6'6/7 back then and Warrior was 6'1.5 Anonymous says on 1/Dec/05
I saw him speak on his "college lecture tour" and probably 6'2", 6'2.5" was his height with the big dress shoes he was wearing. So 6'1.5" or so is probably about right. Definitely wasn't as tall as my 6'3" friend.
And he was the only guy who was the "Ultimate Warrior"... there was some tabloid who printed he died of a heart attack from steroid use and his "twin brother" took the role, but it's just a bogus rumor/urban legend. vemizelda says on 14/Nov/05

Now, unless the guys posing with him happen to be around 6'2" themselves (which they don't look to me), there's no way he's 6'3" tall. I'd say 6'1.5" or shorter seems about right.
[Editor Rob: that's the same pose he was doing when I saw him. Leaning his head back slightly so his eyelevel is 'raised up' a tad to make him look more imposing...] CelebHeights Editor says on 21/Aug/05
From gossip newsgroup: "Ultimate Warrior was not really big at all -- in fact, I'm 5'6" and I swear to you he wasn't that much taller than me. I became somewhat less than infatuated with him after seeing him up close and personal. He was also totally out of it. Zombified" CelebHeights Editor says on 20/Jul/05
"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" - Warrior from a few years ago. Mr. Awesome says on 18/Jul/05
Yea, I was pretty hardcore into it back in the day when I was younger and legends like Hulk Hogan were still wrestling. It just hasn't been good in the last 5 years in my opinion, though, but w/e, many poeple are still fans...I wouldn't exactly call it a stand in...from what I've gathered, more than 1 guy wouldn't play the role of a single wrestler at the same period of time...for instance if one wrestler was popular and his contract came up for renewal, the wrestling executives might hire a new guy at a lower salary to play that character. The same went if one guy called it quits and the execs still wanted to keep that character alive (lets say Doink the Clown for instance)...they'd just hire a new guy, have him be the new Doink the Clown and act to the public like nothing ever happened. Anonymous says on 18/Jul/05
That's just a rumour, only one person has ever played Ultimate Warrior, and that's Jim Helwig.
Mr. Awesome says on 17/Jul/05
Fine, Rob lol, I thought you'd trust me a little more after all my comments that I've been mostly accurate with, but w/e haha. However, this is not as crazy as it may seem. Ask any wrestling fan past or present, and I'm sure many will know that it is not uncommon practice for people heavilly costumed wrestlers to be played by several people. For instance, as many as 3 different guys played the part of the wrestler, Doink the Clown over the years. You don't have to make a joke about it, just think about it, Rob, with all the make-up that the Warrior wore, it'd be just about impossible to tell that a similar-looking dude replaced the old one.
[Editor Rob: to a non-wrestling fan like myself it just sounded crazy to me...I've no idea if he did have a stand-in...] sf says on 17/Jul/05
Okay - this is one I do have experience with. Saw him working out at my gym years ago when he was a big deal. He was in town for some wrestling "show". I got very close to him. Anyway, the first thing I noticed is that he wasn't that tall. No way 6'3". I estimated him about 6'. And, I am one who knows my exact height. Being somewhat sensitive about my height (yes, I'm short!) I know exactly how tall I am, and I estimated The Ultimate Warrior to be 6 feet, mabye a little more...
[Editor Rob: yes, I agree no way was he 6ft 3...I give his current 186cm as a maximum...I would say he was 'puffing' his chest out a lot when talking to folk...trying to look bigger ;)] Mr. Awesome says on 15/Jul/05
I've heard that there were 2 different guys who played "The Ultimate Warrior". When the old one stopped wrestling they got a new one. And from what I understand, the original one was bigger.
[Editor Rob: next you'll be telling us that Paul McCartney died and they got a lookalike...who was taller than original Paul ;)] Jason says on 1/Jun/05
Warrior is 6'1'' imo. Marv says on 18/May/05
Most Pro-Wrestlers are billed about 2" taller than they really are.. |
