According to those lines Khali is taller. And I see at least 5 inches between Kane and Shaq..maybe closer to 6. Which makes sense as Khali had about the same over him.
Da Man said on 29/Oct/08
Kane's head isn't closer to the camera...
Alex said on 29/Oct/08
Kane is still closer to the camera so I'd be its more 5 inches difference.
Da Man said on 29/Oct/08
Also, while Kane's torso and legs are a bit closer to the camera than Shaq, he's leaning back into Shaq so his head isn't any closer than Shaq's. Notice their faces are almost exactly the same size.

If Kane was standing upright instead of leaning backwards, I believe he would have come out at LEAST another 0.5" better against Shaq.

It's hard to argue that Kane is 6'7" there. I think his often mentioned claim of 6'8.5" isn't out of question based on this photo, especially if Shaq is standing roughly 7'2" in footwear.

"How do you know he was in smaller soles? We can't see their footwear. Or do you mean Kane was just in smaller soles than usual that night?."

Because the pic was taken at Cyber Sunday, I'm guessing after Kane's match with Mysterio. You can find pics of Kane's footwear in the match, the boots are the smaller ones.

How do you know he was in smaller soles? We can't see their footwear. Or do you mean Kane was just in smaller soles than usual that night?

Nick, nice job with that photoshop.

Kane stacks up extremely well with Shaq there, Kane 6'8.5" Shaq 7'1"

fixed. Why is it that hard to believe...
Nick said on 29/Oct/08
Like I said, Kane's knees aren't completely straight, but, he's closer to the camera. Also as stated, Shaq could possibly be slightly over 7'1" with shoes so taken all into account, KANE - 6'8.5 - 6'9" in boots, 6'7.5 barefoot.

KingNick says on 27/Oct/08
"Shaq is listed here as 7'1", which I easily agree with. Kane appears to still be in ring gear and I agree there's about a 4" difference between them. This would put Kane at 6'9". So whatever he is barefoot you can deduce from there depending on how much his wrestling shoes give him."

The thing is though, Shaq is 7'1" + footwear. So Shaq is likely standing 7'2" or near it there.

That's a good point too. But ...

And Kane was in his smaller soled boots too.

Alex said on 29/Oct/08
I am suprised on how Khali doesn't look that big mass wise.

At most Shaq would be 1/2 inch taller really. Again in the picture Khali is barely closer to the camera than Shaq. If both guys were the same distance Shaq may have 1/4-1/2 inch on Khali at most.
Nick said on 29/Oct/08
I've straightened Kane up in the photo with Shaq, though I noticed his knees are very slighty bent, I think with good Posture Kane in boots could be touching 6'9 - which shows the 4" difference to 7'1 Shaq, in my opinion!

Which would mean that Khali is CLEARLY not 7'1" if MAX 7'1" Shaq is taller than him ;).

What you guys should know is that when one tall guy will be meeting another pre-planned he make take measures to appear as tall as possible. We know Kane has done this many times.

If you think Kane has 6" on either Austin or Vince on that video, you're in denial.

Kane looks monstrous in the pic whith Shaq though.

Agreed, Kane has to be 300+. I think he's billed at 320 which may be real close. I still see around a 4" difference. Kane is in gear though. I'd have to see the match to see what kind of boots he had on that night b/c he changes them so much. Barefoot I peg Kane at 6'8" now. I'm even considering less. Nonetheless, one of the best in my view.
Danimal said on 28/Oct/08
Clay says on 27/Oct/08
Kane checks in at 6'7.5-6'8 there I think and Khali looks level with Shaq. I cant get over how Shaq holds his own next to Khali mass-wise.

Khali has no mass in that pic with Squaq. Khali's arms have tremendously atrophied. That means they have shrunk kid ;).

Kane is slouching and still close to Shaq
Drexyl said on 28/Oct/08
Kane does look huge in the pic with Shaq. Easily 6,9" there, and he looks well over 300 lbs.
sid said on 28/Oct/08
Kane looks 6'9 there. if thats what your people are saying.. that means kane is 6'8 barefeet.. his ring gear gives him a inch. you can have inches on your foot wear trust me it would be hard for kane to walk and wrestle in. i have inches lifts there hard to walk.. kane has to be 6'8 barefeet if he looks 6'9 in gear.
Massimo said on 28/Oct/08
Even considering the slouch, I think Shaq is at least 10 cm taller than Kane.
Alex said on 28/Oct/08
I think Shaq would have more 5 inches on Kane even if Kane is leaning and is closer to the camera.
Alex said on 28/Oct/08
Too bad there isn't one with Big Show, that sucks.

Look at Orton and Shaq. Orton looks a legit 6'4 for sure.

Austin looks at least 6'0 there with Shaq.
Alex said on 28/Oct/08
Nice set of pictures. Shaq and Khali look the same height but Khali is a bit closer to the camera so Shaq may have 1/2 inch at most on Khali. Kane is inches closer to the camera though but I'd say like 5 inches if both were at the same level. Kane looks 6'8 there.
Cobra said on 28/Oct/08

Anthony said on 28/Oct/08
IMO shaq actually looks slightly taller than Khali, but that all comes down to footware too I suppose. Kane looks an EASY 6'8-6'9 there.
Wrestling lover said on 28/Oct/08
TO me Khali looks an inch shorter than Shaq.
KingNick said on 27/Oct/08
Shaq is listed here as 7'1", which I easily agree with. Kane appears to still be in ring gear and I agree there's about a 4" difference between them. This would put Kane at 6'9". So whatever he is barefoot you can deduce from there depending on how much his wrestling shoes give him.

What's more interesting to me is Khali and Shaq. Khali is in regular clothes there. They look more or less the same height to me which means Khali is probably 7'1". Shaq may have a cm on him tops.

AnonymousHunter said on 27/Oct/08
There appears to be about 4.5 inches between Kane and Shaq, although Kane is slouching to his left so standing straight there might only be 4 inches.

Khali seems exactly the same height as Shaq, if anything maybe even a small bit taller, mainly because of his huge head though.
Da Man said on 27/Oct/08
Where are these photos of Kane and Shaq?
Drexyl said on 27/Oct/08
Whoops, didn't see the one where he is standing next to Khali.
Drexyl said on 27/Oct/08
I wouldn't say he towers him that much. If Shaq is 7,1" then Kane looks a good 6,9" there if you take into account the fact that he is slouching and Shaq is standing pretty much completely straight.

I think this confirms that Khali is taller than Shaq though. Kane has never looked that tall next to Khali.

shaq is quite abit taller than kane in that photo but not tower, its not in kanes favour, his knees are bent and he's leaning....where as shaq has got a completly upright stance, kane would probably come to just above shaqs eyes...easy 6'8 at least
ichiban said on 27/Oct/08
Shaq towers over Kane in the photos on the WWE website. And i MEAN TOWER!!! Kane is no more than 6'7.5'' nowadays. The listing is spot on.
sid said on 27/Oct/08
dicksock You cant walk or wrestle in 2 or 3 inch lifts. I have 2 inch lifts there hard to walk in.... kane cleary had 6 inches on vince and austin... kane slouched too much.. he is 6'8 barefeet. with gear 6'9
dicksock said on 27/Oct/08
Rantsrob says on 26/Oct/08
Kane has his head tilted downard the entire video dicksock.

I know he has his head tilted down, but there would be more than 4 inches regardless. Austin came up to the bridge of Kane's nose as did Vince. Neither one of them is above 6'2. I don't see how anyone can give Kane above 6'7 w/o lifts. His lifts likely gave him 2-3".
sid said on 26/Oct/08
dicksock Kane was tilting his head.. he as slouching. tall people normally slouch more then shorter people. cause there spine is so long.. kane has 6 inches on vince if he where to keep his spine and head up.
Rantsrob said on 26/Oct/08

Has anyone seen the video on Dailymotion where Vince calls out Kane? It sounds weird but Kane only has the 6'2 Vince by about 4" tops. And he only has Ausin by 4" tops. It is BY FAR the shortest I've ever seen Kane look. He looked dramatically shorter than usual.

I wonder how tall i will become because im 6ft 3 barefoot and my mom and dad are tall compared to other people cuz my mom is 6ft 1 and my dad is 6ft5 but my papa is 7ft 6 and he says im growin the way he did
September said on 25/Oct/08
Christ, if the dude in the first pic is close to 6ft, this guy's gotta be 6'9".
KingNick said on 25/Oct/08
sid, the closest I've ever been to Kane was about 30ft away. It was after a Raw event. He was getting in the car with Jim Ross (which was pretty comical considering how the year before Kane set him on fire)

So due to the distance I can't say with 100% accuracy, but they looked very close to me.
dl_eric said on 25/Oct/08
Randy Orton is 6ft 5.5, ive met him with my friend who is 6ft 6 and they were both about same height!
sid said on 25/Oct/08
KingNick Did this wrestler dude. look the same height as kane.. or kane looked taller..??
KingNick said on 23/Oct/08
Just an interesting tidbit for you guys and something you may find interesting, I've met quite a few wrestlers who work the Indy circuit. One guy I worked with last year is 6'8". LEGIT, I worked with him. I asked him about if the Indy wrestlers exaggerate heights and he said that his height was always measured in his wrestling boots and that he was billed anywhere from 6'9"-6'10" depending on the promoter. He also said he met Big Show in person and Show was an easy 7' in his opinion.
Alex said on 23/Oct/08
I saw some videos of UT and Kane in faceoffs from the past and Kane does look to have 2 inches on UT but due to his lifts but I'd think Kane would have around an inch on UT barefoot too.
Alex said on 17/Oct/08
Da man, yea when you get measured it only goes by the top of the head, not the shoulder which some kinda base it on. I have a friend who is my height but his shoulders are a bit higher but my legs are longer.
Da Man said on 17/Oct/08
Alex, shoulder height can give the impression of being taller to a casual observer or at a quick glance. Obviously shoulder height isn't going to fool frequent visitors to this site.
Alex said on 17/Oct/08
I dont get when people base height on shoulders. You can have 2 guys who's shoulders are the same height from the ground but that person's head is longer or something and can be a few inches taller.
Clay said on 17/Oct/08
I dont think they're that conscious about the height listings of them that they try to create camera angles to make Khali appear taller, I think its just genuine that Khali is 1.5 inches taller. Am I the only one that see's slightly more than one inch between them?
Rantsrob said on 16/Oct/08
Ghost says on 14/Oct/08
Was that during Kane's megalift-period? He looks taller than Taker there.

Post mega lift era. Mega lifts were in full body suits when he got the tanktop/jump suit his lifts shrunk.
Drexyl said on 15/Oct/08
At a glance Khali looks a fair bit taller than Big Show because his shoulders are much higher. When they go face to face though, there's only about an inch of difference between the top of their heads.

It's the same thing with Kane and Big Show. Kane's shoulders are actually about level with Show's so at a glance he looks almost the same height. It's only when they go face to face do you see that Big Show is about 4 inches taller.
Da Man said on 15/Oct/08
And the fact that Khali's shoulders and eyeline are probably a good 2" at least above Show's which makes him look taller in comparison than he really is.
Alex said on 15/Oct/08
I see an inch between Big Show and Khali when face to face and Big Show is standing better. It can appear more at times due to their angles trying to make Khali look 3 inches taller.
Anonymous said on 14/Oct/08

"WWE needs to bill Kane at 6'10. I know they wont go less than that though."

They definitely need to the re-think the billed heights of their big men.

If I was the WWE I'd go with
Khali - 7'3"
Big Show - 7'1"
Kane -6'11"
Taker - 6'10"

I think they should never have stopped billing Show at 7'2". Anyone ever wonder why they did that? They could have easily gotten away with billing Khali as high as 7'4" and they could have kept Kane at 6'11"-7' and UT at 6'10". That way everyone would have been proportionate or at least close to it. Weird.

But Da Man, you make a great point, I agree:

Da Man says on 13/Oct/08

It only matters how they "look" in relation toeach other. Kane smack-dab in the middle of the ring isn't dwarfed by Show because of proportions. Kane's shoulders and such aren't signicantly lower.

Just like Khali is probably less than 1" taller than Show, but it looks more to a casual observer in the ring.

hs2008 said on 13/Oct/08
Alex, I don't think they do regularly. Like you said they normally say 6'4"-6'4.5". At Unforgiven 2004 J.R. did say 6'5" though, if my memory serves me correctly, so there's probably more times that he's been described at that height. He's not under 6'4" for sure IMHO.

It's silly isn't it how they call Batista 6'6" and Orton 6'4" when Randy is clearly the taller of the two. Because Batista is much more muscular I guess they want him to seem taller.
Alex said on 13/Oct/08
Do they ever call Orton 6'5 on TV? I've heard 6'4 and 6'4 1/2. Yet you hear them say Batista is 6'5-6'6 while Orton could be as much as 2 inches taller than Batista.
Viper said on 13/Oct/08
I think Orton is around 6-3-6-3 1/2.
hs2008 said on 13/Oct/08

Ok Vegas, great proof. I believe you now. I would put Randy Orton 6"3.5 now.

Orton is bare minimum 1" taller than Rock, though I think it's more 1.5".

Orton looked over an inch taller than Rock in the ring in 2004. Orton looks to be a legit 6'4.

Randy Orton is at least 6-3. Hes taller than the Rock.
Umar said on 11/Oct/08
Guys, Randu Orton isn't 6"3+. That's ridiculous. Unless if you have a picture or video to prove that he is that tall. Some people have showed me a viedo, e.g. Rob Van Dam (5 ft 8.5) vs Randy Orton, but he doesn't even look 6"2.5! Actually 6"2.5 is actually tall for him, but I would totally put him as 6"1.5.

Atleas 75% of the wrestling community believes kane stands 7ft possibly more.
Drexyl said on 8/Oct/08
He should be billed at 6,10" I agree.

I wouldn't be surprised if they ever went lower though. They've had some
strange changes to billings in the past. I saw Undertaker billed as 6,8" back in 2003 when he was in a feud with A Train, which came out of the blue because he's pretty much always been billed as 6,10" in the WWE. Then there's the Big Show apparently shrinking from 7,2" to 7,0" practically overnight.

They just change them when they feel like it.

WWE still bill him as being 7ft , and with his old ring gear he appeared very close to that , he wears smaller lifts now which make look around 6'9" maybe slightly more. I think 6'7.5 barefoot is on the money.

Goldust isn't more than 6'5. He's sure at least 6'4.

I've been like 2 feet from Kane at an episode of Raw a couple years back and he looked about 6'9 in boots. I am friends with a basketball player who actually looks kinda like Kane and he's 6'9. Kane looked like about the same height as my friend only kane was a VERY muscular version of him. Kane could be less, but I doubt it.
Atoadaso said on 3/Oct/08
Goldust could pass as a legit 6'6". At least, that's always what I thought he was. I'm sure he is at least 6'5". He is probably just about the same height as JBL.

Sorry I made a mistake. Here's an advanced list of barefoot estimates.
Big Show-7"
Great Khali-7"1
Undertaker-6"6.5 (Badass was 6"8)
Kane-6"6.5 (6"8.5 when he had the mask)
Randy Orton-6"2 (yes, he only looked a little taller than Chris Jericho face-to-face)
Triple H-6"1
Batista-6"2
John Bradshaw Layfield-6"3
John Cena-5"10.5
Chris Jericho-5"9

Da Man, sorry bud, don't see how the camera angle favors anyone there. Don't get me wrong, I don't think they're the same height, I think it had something to do with footwear.
Drexyl says on 2/Oct/08
The camera angle favours Goldust at the start but then moves round and is more or less right between the two.

It's all in the camera angle. Perspective is shifting throughout the video and is almost always in Goldust's favor, and the entire frame is tilted in Goldust's. Notice the fence, boxed and pillar behind them, all tilted way towards Kane.

Goldust heavily favored: Click Here
Goldust favored: Click Here
No favor: Click Here
Kane favored: Click Here

The entire scene is still tilted into Goldust's advantage in every clip.


Da Man, I gotta admit bro, I didn't notice that. Especially those shots where Kane is taller, I stand corrected. Goldust still seems too close in height to me, but it may be the angles like you said plus he has bigger footwear. Good job.

"But even when the camera favours Kane...Goldust still looks the same height. Even if Kane has an advantage, it's certainly no more than about half an inch.

I don't understand how you can't see this."

1. The entire frame is rotated in Goldust's favor! (see below)
2. Even when the camera favors Kane it is MUCH less of a advantage than Goldust gets early on.

If you think there's only half an inch between them in the pics with Kane favored and no favor, you need either pay more attention or have your eyes checked. Open the pic in MS paint and draw the lines yourself, you'll see.

If you think there's only half an inch between them in the pics with Kane favored and no favor, you need either pay more attention or have your eyes checked. Open the pic in MS paint and draw the lines yourself, you'll see.

No favor, no rotation - the real height difference between them in that video: Click Here





This is the height difference between them in that video. The 2 degrees rotation is removed and no they are equal distance from the camera.



Are you being serious?
Drexyl said on 3/Oct/08
But even when the camera favours Kane...Goldust still looks the same height. Even if Kane has an advantage, it's certainly no more than about half an inch.

I don't understand how you can't see this.

Da Man, sorry bud, don't see how the camera angle favors anyone there. Don't get me wrong, I don't think they're the same height, I think it had something to do with footwear.
Drexyl says on 2/Oct/08
The camera angle favours Goldust at the start but then moves round and is more or less right between the two.

It's all in the camera angle. Perspective is shifting throughout the video and is almost always in Goldust's favor, and the entire frame is tilted in Goldust's. Notice the fence, boxed and pillar behind them, all tilted way towards Kane.

Goldust heavily favored: Click Here
Goldust favored: Click Here
No favor: Click Here

The entire scene is still tilted into Goldust's advantage in every clip.

No offense, but you're flat out wrong.
Anonymous said on 1/Oct/08
It's got nothing to do with the camera angle. In fact it's pretty neutral for much of it. Goldust is slouched through most of the video. Watch him stand straight at 0.15. There's not a hair between them.

I'm not trying to say Kane is 6,6" or anything like that. In fact I'm in support of him being upgraded to 6,8". But there's no denying there that Goldust looks every bit as tall as him. Maybe Goldust was wearing some monster heels, maybe the floor was uneven. Who knows.
Alex said on 1/Oct/08
That video of Kane and Goldust was backstage so we never know what could be going on. Kane maybe barefoot or something or in sandals or converse type sneakers or Goldust could be in lifts. They could have done that for Goldust to appear closer to Kane's height.

"This is the video drexyl is referring to Click Here Kane isn't any taller here and I don't think it's the camera angle. My guess is at the time when Kane was brought back he was more of a comedic figure so they slapped some lifts on Goldust to make Kane seem less intimidating. Doesn't make too much sense, but it's the only thing I can think of. All the other evidence points to Kane being a minimum of 6'7.5", like Rob points out. I hate it when the WWE does that. They bill a guy 7', another 6'6", and have them look the same height in a video. It's weird."

They don't look the same height if you bother to consider camera angles. See below. Kane's got a minimum of 2" on Goldust in that video.

Kanes billed 7' on the site. Any given time they say hes 6'10'' or near 7'. Kanes what? 3rd tallest man in wwe today with a majority of the roster 6'2'' and under its not hard to get him off as 7'. Wwe just doesnt have those big 6'5'' mid carders they use to anymore.

"I know Kane is taller, but he doesn't look it there. I know Goldust would have had a footwear advantage as well, but it seems odd that they'd let a guy that they usually bill at 6,6" look as tall as a guy they bill at 7 feet.

And there's no way there's 3 inches there at all. Watch Kane lift his head at 0.33 to make himself look taller."

There's at least 2 inches there. Most of the video is shot over Goldust's shoulder, making him look bigger overall. At 0:30 there are about the same distance from the camera, but Kane is sort of leaned over. Even still there is 2" there.

Drexyl, it is just the camera angle; Dustin Runnels (Goldust) is really like 6'5. Dustin is about 3 inches shorter than Kane. Also, this was around the time that Kane came back from injury and he did not wear thick boots/lifts during this period; whereas Dustin's footwear was thick as ever!

Speaking of angles, I can't remember where, but I've seen a picture of where 6'5 JBL looked like he stood slightly taller than 6'7.5 Undertaker..

Orton is struggling to meet Kane's eyeline there, especially considering Kane is looking down at Orton the whole time lowering his features! The average male adult has 4.5" from the eyeline to the top of the head.

No my good sir. I quoted somone who SAID kane was 6'7'' barefoot. My opinions are a 6'8''PRIME Kane 6'7.5'' Present, 6'10'' in ring gear (1997) 6'9.5'' - 6'9'' In ring gear (2003-present). Read the entire post and you'll realize i quoted somone.

sid, yeah i saw that promo too, but they clearly have randy barefoot or kane with MONSTER lifts (they are known for doing this, especially with kane and other wrestlers who are clearly not their billing)..... so id say a 6'7 barefoot kane is fairer, as the height difference is never this big in the ring, and when i met randy IRL (im 6'1 flat), he looked a legit and easy 6'4


We've discussed this video and i have another video of a 6 man tag with kane and randy where the same height difference can be seen. Kanes 6'9.5'' in ring gear and randy is 6'5'' with footwear theres a soild 4'' to 4.5'' difference in the video.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Kane recently had a staredown with JBL IN RING where he looked IMO 3.5" taller.

Just last night on Raw JBL with poor posture clearly had an inch at least on Orton in the ring.

I'm not so sure that backstage promo was as manipulated as you think. There have been numerous videos posted here where Kane has looked at least 4.5" taller than Orton in the ring. Notably in a somewhat recent (in the last 2 years) lumberjack match Kane and Randy where standing next to each other outside the ring, the height difference looked just about like it did in that promo.

Also, Kane has dwarfed Edge by over 4" in the ring as well, and Orton and Edge are within 0.5" of one another.

Ranstrob im going by the fact that he looked shorter for sure. On top of that he didnt have a those big boots with the extra sized heel. He wore a regular wrestling boot. If he had somthing on the inside then ranstrob your right about that i dont know. But no one knows. All i can go by is when i met him 2 of the 3 times i met him . The 2 times he had on regular dress shoes. He stood next to my 6ft6 friend fred and had a easy 2-3 inches on him .

Ranstrob, I believe eric 1 is referring to the Kane era right before he lost his mask. I don't think he wore lifts during that period either. His boots looked like a normal wrestling shoe: Click Here (see 1:39, 2:19. Not the best shots but they look more normal)

It was actually the 2004 Royal Rumble where Kane chokeslammed Matt M-M-M-Morgan Click Here Kane starts wrestling Morgan at the 7 min mark, it's hard to tell heights tho because they don't have a staredown, but it looks close.

eric 1, if you happen to find that match between kane and morgan please post it. I looked but didn't find anything
eric 1 said on 9/Sep/08
just found this off a matt morgan website.
- OVW Spring Break-Out '03 (April 11) = Morgan lost a "Respect" Match to Kane.
eric 1 said on 9/Sep/08
the match they did was in Japan. It was in an arena that was outside. I saw the pic on a kane website sometime ago. Wouldnt know where to locate it.

eric 1 show the pics of kane and matt morgan
eric 1 said on 8/Sep/08
kane wrestled matt morgan when he wore the regular wrestling footwear.Im talking about when they tried making kane do comic segments when he first came back in 2002 from his injury. At that time he didnot wear lifts and in the pics with them wrestling there very close in height.

Kane's head will be more 10.5", absolute max 11". Mamun's head is only barely above the lowest point of Kane's collar.
Drexyl said on 8/Sep/08
Kane made JBL look very small during their encounters at Unforgiven last night.
Viper said on 8/Sep/08
Well, its a fact. Just because you are listed as 6-8 in college basketball doesnt mean so.
Alex said on 7/Sep/08
Kane's head is probably 11 inches long. Mamun is a bit more than a head shorter than Kane. I am not 100% sure on Kane's head length though but looking at the picture I'd say thats about a foot or 11.5 inches.
Viper said on 6/Sep/08
Well, the 6-8 listing isnt any proof because its just a listing.
KingNick said on 6/Sep/08
Big King, care to share the link?
Alex2 said on 6/Sep/08
I dont think its possible for JBL to be below 6'5".
Drexyl said on 6/Sep/08
Kane stood taller over JBL than Matt Morgan does in that photo. I'm not saying Kane is taller than Morgan as we all know he's not, but when taking into account the stance and footwear, Kane can't be very far off Morgan (who went toe to toe with a 6,9" Kevin Nash and looked every bit as tall as him).

Kane can't be under 6,8". It just doesn't add up.

JBL's real height is 6'5 1/2", not 6'6". There are websites where there are real heights of wrestlers and other celebrities and there it is written that JBL is 6'5 1/2" and Kane at 6'8".

Uhh, isnt that this site.
Alex2 said on 6/Sep/08
To be honest I didnt see more than 3" in the Kane, JBL staredown. JBL alos ahd is hat on thou.

Rob has him perfectly really. There is no good concrete evidence to suggests hes at least 6-8 or 6-8 1/2. But we do have very good evidence that hes at least around the 6-7-6-7 1/2 region.
KingNick said on 6/Sep/08
We were talking about JBL earlier, here's why I think he's 6'6". I don't think Matt M-M-M-M-Morgan is anything less than 6'9"

Monte said on 5/Sep/08
Kane is actually 6ft 11in because The Undertaker is 6ft 10in
Drexyl said on 5/Sep/08
I think he should be upgraded to at least 6,8". There's too much evidence to suggest he's anything less.
Sid said on 5/Sep/08
PJ You met kane, he said almost 6'7, he told me and Eric and other that he is 6'8 or over, when did you meet kane.??? and where
Clay said on 5/Sep/08
RantsRob, I have heard from numerous fans that they asked Kane when they met him and each one said that Kane says 6'8/6'8.5.
Alex said on 5/Sep/08
I am still sticking with 6'7 1/2-6'8 for Kane.
Big King said on 5/Sep/08
How old is Glen Jacobs? When he's over 40, maybe he was 6'8 1/2" in his prime. On these photos, 6'7 1/2" doesn't sound bad. I changed my mind.
Big King said on 5/Sep/08
I think we should give Kane 6'8 1/2".

It frusterates me when i here people say "Kane said hes 6'8.5'' in person" Or hes stated in an interview that he 6'8''. No he didnt come on people why would kane tell you anything under his billed height thats breaking kayfabe and it just sounds silly. Until proof of these claims rise i wont take any of these claims serious.

I wouldn't doubt the people who say Kane told them he is 6'8 or 6'8,5. These were not official conversations and weren't going to be printed anywhere. Kane breaks kayfabe already by talking to people and being nice. Pretty much every wrestler breaks kayfabe these days by appearing in talk shows and such. From all I've heard, Kane strikes me as an honest, kind person and I doubt he would lie about his height saying he is 7 feet tall, espacially if the person asking him was over 6 feet tall so that it would be obvious he would be lying.
Alex said on 5/Sep/08
Kane looks no more than inch taller than Viscera but Vis looks to have bigger footwear. Vis I think is a legit 6'6 at least.

kane's official wwe profile says 7 feet.
Clay said on 4/Sep/08
JBL could be as low as 6'4'' with those cowboy boots he weras.
PJ said on 4/Sep/08
I met Kane, he told me "almost 6'8" but I'd say 6'7 is accurate.
Viper said on 4/Sep/08
Kane looks barely 6-7 with Viscera. They almost look the same height there.
Alex said on 4/Sep/08
How long does Kane's head look? I'd say likely could be 11 inches. If so then thats a foot between the 2 and we're looking at a 6'8 Kane. Eric's height I am not too sure of. He's claimed 5'11.5, 5'11.75 and 6'0. Either way Kane's 6'7.5-6'8 with him as well.
Big King said on 4/Sep/08
We all know that Kane is a big tough guy but beside Mamun, he looks 6'7" and beside Eric he looks 6'8" or over.
KingNick said on 4/Sep/08
Ghost, Viscera sported HUGE footwear, maybe even bigger than Kane's

Click Here

Still, I don't think Kane is 6'9" either barefoot. I'm thinking maybe 6'8" now, 6'8.5" tops
Big King said on 4/Sep/08
Woah! No way, Kane is under 6'8"!! He looks almost a foot taller than Eric!
Da Man said on 4/Sep/08
Ghost says on 4/Sep/08
"So now Kane is 6'9 again?

People need to remember that Kane was only a hair taller than 6'6,5 Viscera

Click Here"

Perhaps you didn't notice Kane is obviously taller even though the ring is heavily tilted in V's favor?

Kane as a good inch on Big Daddy V, Kane only looks a hair taller when he matches V's eye level.
adam said on 4/Sep/08
JBL 6-4 my ass. At least an inch more. He looked like 3-4 inches taller than
Batista. JBL had a footwear advantage by one inch but still! Batista is 6-3.

And CM Punk looks like 5 inches shorter than JBL.

Yeah, I think Jason was off there but I originally pegged JBL at 6-4. JBL looks 6-4 tops I think there with CM Punk.
