Actually, wrestlers will usually mask an injury, or take a ton of painkillers to suppress the pain, because if they admit to being hurt, they may be off the payroll with a dictator boss like Vince.

Big Show: you're saying that simply getting injured some how legitimizes pro-wrestling?
No I was merely saying that the injuries that show wrestlers sustain are real. They don't fake their injuries, so I'd like show-wrestlers to get some more respect for what they're doing, instead of saying that it's fake and a lot of them wouldn't make it in a real sport. To some WWE superstars that might be true, but to most this certainly does not. They're all incredible athletes and the top-card wrestlers wrestle like 2 or 3 shows a week and these guys don't have any off-seasons, they wrestle an entire year and have a very hectic travel schedule. Wrestlers who try to make it in a different field of sports might fail, but so do other sportsmen who try to make it in show-Wrestling.

Big Show: you're saying that simply getting injured some how legitimizes pro-wrestling? How about we invent a new "sport" where people purposely bang their head against the wall, and that's all you do. Would their injuries legitimize it? Wrestling IS fake ("choreographed" if you prefer that term), it's set up, all their injuries are either accidents or they actually planned to take a bump. In fact, one of the reasons wrestling is so dangerous nowadays (in that a lot of extreme risks are taken) is because it is fake, so they feel that they have to over-compensate with extreme situations to justify their existence as a sport/entertainment. And, no, I have never tried fake wrestling, but I myself have wrestled competitively for 6 years, have done Judo, am currently active in a MMA club where we practice BJJ, submission wrestling, and Muay Thai, and prior to that, I trained in TKD. The injuries I got from these sports/martial arts are real, they weren't planned, and none was choreographed.
Brock Lesnar was actually a bad example for me to use, by the way. I do respect his real wrestling background, same with Kurt Angle. And as a matter of fact, if he gets Hong Man Choi to the ground, I give it to him all the way.

Topdweeb, next time you see a guy like Triple H, Hogan, Edge, Angle or more recently Shane Helms. Tell them to stop faking their injuries as it's not a real sport they're practicing. I'm wondering if you would still have all your teeth in your mouth after such a statement. Have you ever practiced wrestling yourself, because then you wouldn't make such a stupid comment. Let me tell you: wrestling is a real sport, that are no CGI characters you see on the screen, those are real life people and the injuries they sustain are also real life injuries. I hate it when people say wrestling is fake. It's not fake, it's choreographed (the only thing that's fake are the storylines and therefore the outcome of the match). When people talk about dancing they talk about choreography. What's the difference between dancing and wrestling. Wrestler are given a certain amount of time to create a spectacular match. They help each other out during that match (like selling each others moves or helping each other with the more difficult moves), but they still have to be incredible athletes to pull it off (although some wrestler show little athleticism).
In wrestling the key word is entertainment, not competition. Wrestlers are supposed to deliver a good match. And like every other sport there are good and there are bad athletes.
Brock Lesnar didn't make it in the NFL because he didn't have what it takes to become a Pro Football player, just like the other 90 % that gets eliminated during the pre-draft. Are they all bad athletes. No, just like every sport, athleticism can only get you to a certain point. You also need a great deal of talent to really make a name for yourselves in any sport.

Guys, this is Hong Man Choi's first MMA fight too. He fights mainly in K-1 style kickboxing fights, which are not MMA. And it's ridiculous to say Lesnar is a great fighter just yet, as no one has seen him fight. And to be honest, I don't respect pro-wrestlers. I'm sorry, I think what they do is entertaining, and I think they might be great athletes (some of them) but most of them don't seem to be able to hack it when it comes to a real sport (Lesnar's football career anyone?)

Lesnar vs HongMan is a shoot fight?
if so don't count Lesnar out because he's shorter and lighter but he's probably more stronger and has more muscle. I wouldn't be shocked if Lesnar wins.

Hong-man is listed at 211cm (6'11'') on a French MMA site. This might be a very bad move on Lesnar's part; if he loses badly, then his credibility is gonna take a big blow.

Here are a few pics of Hong-man Choi and Brock Lesnar. The low camera angles minimize height differences, but even then it doesn't look like Hong-Man would have a whole foot on Lesnar. The height difference looks the same as between Lesnar and Big Show from what I remember.
Choi is an experienced MMA fighter, so he'll have the edge when it comes to experience. If Lesnar can beat this K1 legend in his debut match, that would be impressive. In a wrestling match Lesnar would probably beat him in 3 seconds, but MMA is no wrestling. Lesnar is a good fighting machine: he's strong, he's fast and he's well coordinated, but his inexperience might cost him the victory. And I do not hope Lesnar gets massacred as I respect him as a fighter. Plus it takes guts to tell Vince McMahon to stick his contract up his a$$, when most wrestler's literally kiss Vince's a$$.

Yes Danimal I saw the original ECW as I was buying VHS (video) tapes from Fin Martin (editor of Powerslam magazine) circa 1995-97 and then they started showing it on tv here after that period.
Anyways I agree with what you said as does my statement, don't forget I was the one to say the WWF didn't have a clue what to do with Foley and Austin. Foley and Austin deserve the credit for getting themselves over, not Vince.
topdweeb26 how tall do you believe Dalip Singh is??

Vegas: yeah the competition between the two brought out the best of both organizations; as I said, that's the only reason I even miss WCW. Many disagree with me, but I thought WCW flat out sucked. I still watched RAW even when Nitro was at its peak... the only time I watched Nitro was when RAW was on a commercial break. As for Austin and Foley, sure their own talent and input may be one of the keys to their success, but I don't buy for even a second that WWF wasn't a big part of it. Otherwise, why didn't Austin become Stone Cold in WCW? Or why wasn't Foley Mankind in WCW? Because either 1. WCW didn't allow them to have any creativity over their characters or 2. because WWF is the one who thought up of it... and I'm pretty sure Austin said that WWF came up with the Stone Cold gimmick.
And I do agree that since WWE doesn't have serious competition, they have gotten lazy and their product sucks now. I don't even watch it any more. And I remember it used to be sad to see my favorite wrestlers jump ship. Now it's like, "Oh no, my favorite wrestler moved from RAW to SmackDown!"

Vegas, you are 100 percent correct there. The worst thing to ever happen to the WWE was purchasing WCW. The fierce competition between WWE and WCW in the mid to late 90s was just unbeleivable. They brought out the absolute best in each other. On Monday nights I remember clicking back and forth repeatedly between Monday night Nitro and Raw is War. I couldnt keep it on one channel because the other one might have had something great like Mick Foley in a cage match, or seeing what would happen next in the NWO. Seems like wrestling is far away from those great days :(

I disagree Viper about Jamal. I too hated that character. I was there in Chicago the night (Raw after WM22) he made his WWE debut as Umaga and I thought this gimmick blows! But he really came alive and dragged Cena to a memorable match at Royal Rumble (that match was amazing to witness live in the arena; don't know how it came across on tv though). His madman ramblings are hilarious and I believe Vince has big things planned for him and Bobby Lashley down the line.
Singh has been well used so far, I think Vince and Dunn realise they f****d up big time with Paul Wight and they are currently using Singh as he should be used.
Tna have loads of top guys like Joe, Daniels, Angle, Styles, Christian, Abyss, homicide and soon to be RVD that there is no need to be pushing washed up guys like Steiner.

topdweeb26 WWF/WWE have let many guys go such as Samoa Joe, Chris Daniels, Christian, AJ Styles and they have gone on to become stars, ok not big worldwide stars (yet) because TNA and ROH etc are still relatively small feds.
True WCW didn't know what to do with the likes of Foley or Austin but both of those guys deserve the credit for getting themselves over, rather than anything the WWE front office did. Look at the way they had Austin jobbing to the likes of Savio Vega when he first started, they had no clue what to do with him either. Foley himself came up with the mankind gimmick after WWF creative team had decided on a really stupid gimmick for him and he flatly refused to do it!!
WCW especially after the arrivals of Nash and Hall gave the WWF the kick up the a** they needed at the time. Watching pro wrestling from June 1996 to mid 1998 was exciting; story lines and characters on both sides were fresh. Nowadays nothing (big show has highlighted a few of the bad things; you'll be glad to know Big Show that a new Diva search is starting very soon; i cant contain my excitement :D). The WWE don't have to worry anymore; they have become lazy without the strong competition WCW provided during the 1990s.

TNA is like WCW in 2000. It just sucks. It is, quite simply, just an unwatchable product that reaks of WCW leftovers and there's nothing worse than leftovers of something truly terrible. When your mark out moment of the night is one of the charisma-sucking Steiner brothers making an appearance, you're in a world of hurt. It is sad that WWE is so far ahead of TNA that chumps like Khali and Jamal from 3 minute warning are main event players right now. TNA stepping up and challenging makes WWE a much better product. I hope TNA can gain some momentum from the solid PPV and get the WWE fans to give it a chance

I don't know, I always thought WCW always seem like the brand-X of wrestling. I mean, to me the WWF was always better and more interesting. And WCW's inability of being able to create new stars eventually caught up to them (not to mention they had a knack of ruining established stars like Hennig). I mean, it's insane when you think of all the wrestlers that were let go by WCW and went to the WWF and became huge. Prime example is Steve Austin. Before the WWF he was a nobody. After the WWF he was one of the biggest stars the industry has ever seen. I'm glad WCW is gone. The ONLY reason I miss WCW is because it was always interesting watching the two organizations compete.

I started watching wrestling on a frequent basis in 1997 (it was the first time wrestling was ever broadcasted onto Dutch TV). I must say that WCW at that time was better than what I've ever seen on the WWF so far. The only thing that came close was the Invasion angle in 2001 when WCW and ECW invaded the WWF.
What I really liked about WCW back then were the big fueds between NWO B/W and NWO Wolfpac. When a guy of either group would fight each other you would know that NWO B/W at some point in the match would flock to the ring with 5 or 6 time to break up the match. Then NWO Wolfpac would also come and you have a big fight in the middle of the ring. Shame that those things are not used in the WWE anymore (the Evolution Angle was a complete fluke).
You talk about bad angles in the 90's, what about nowadays with characters like the Boogeyman, the Highlanders (which is in insult to Scottish people), Drag Queen Vito (this guy must've been short on cash or really eager to be in the WWE, to go along with that stupid angle. Btw. he's been put out of his misery now), Eugene, etc. And what to think about those stupid Diva searches, which no one ever cares about. They can't wrestle and are only brought in to sell magazines or get a contract with Playboy, which would gather WWE more mainstream attention (although in my oppinion it's the wrong attention they're getting).

I must say that WCW at that time was better than what I've ever seen on the WWF so far. The only thing that came close was the Invasion angle in 2001 when WCW and ECW invaded the WWF.
What I really liked about WCW back then were the big fueds between NWO B/W and NWO Wolfpac. When a guy of either group would fight each other you would know that NWO B/W at some point in the match would flock to the ring with 5 or 6 time to break up the match. Then NWO Wolfpac would also come and you have a big fight in the middle of the ring. Shame that those things are not used in the WWE anymore (the Evolution Angle was a complete fluke).
You talk about bad angles in the 90's, what about nowadays with characters like the Boogeyman, the Highlanders (which is in insult to Scottish people), Drag Queen Vito (this guy must've been short on cash or really eager to be in the WWE, to go along with that stupid angle. Btw. he's been put out of his misery now), Eugene, etc. And what to think about those stupid Diva searches, which no one ever cares about. They can't wrestle and are only brought in to sell magazines or get a contract with Playboy, which would gather WWE more mainstream attention (although in my oppinion it's the wrong attention they're getting).

Mike, I would say it's not more than 11 inches, because Gonzales has around a 12 inch head, and he is lifting his head and Taker is still a little above his chin.

Vegas: to be fair to the WWE, all those gimmicks were around (The Goon, Gobbledy Gooker, Kwang, Mantaur, etc) WAY before WCW kicked the WWE's ass. So those gimmicks had absolutely nothing to do with it. WCW kicked WWE's ass for other reasons. WCW was a joke until Hulk Hogan arrived on the scene. Before Hogan, WCW seemed like it was the brand X of wrestling, but when he got there, it was taken a lot more seriously. But that still didn't allow WCW to beat WWE. Then WWE simply lost too many big stars at one time (mainly Kevin Nash and Scott Hall). And then the way they made people believe Nash and Hall were still with the WWE but were going to war with WCW had a lot of people in intridgued. However, WCW soon learned that while they could steal the established stars of WWE, the one thing they really lacked as the ability to make full use of their current stars, and make new stars themselves, so in the end, WWE won. The only major star that WCW made during that whole 2 years was Goldberg. That was it. And I personally never liked WCW. There was always something about their shows that seemed dark and uncolorful, which made it feel dull and depressing. WWE seemed to have better lighting, more colorful, and just full of more life.

Gonzales rarely if ever stood up straight. His back was always arched and his head nearly always dropping. Here is a good pic of him and taker and it looks a clear 11-12" to me Click Here Dont forget Gonzo had a 12"+ head too.
And yes viper the cave man suit was one of the stupidest ideas in WWF history; but i suppose seeing as the likes of Bastion Booger, Mantaur, Kwang, The Goon, Abe "knuckleball" Schwartz and the Gobbeldy Gooker (oh the pain!!!) were prancing around the WWF rings at the same time it didn't look that out of place back then :D
The WWF creative department in the early 1990s, geniuses the lot of them; and they still wonder why WCW kicked their a** for two straight years!!!

All this proves to me now is how hard it is to tell exactly how much taller someone is just by "eyeing it". Sid is not 6' 9 or 6' 10, I have seen him in real life. He looked only about 6' 6 or 6' 7 to me, and yes, this was in his wrestling attire. When Nash came out later that night, I could easily tell he was taller than Sid. Gonzalez is a legit 7' 6 according to Guinness records, and Sid isn't even as tall as Nash and Nash is 6' 10, heck even the Undertaker is slightly taller than Sid and the Undertaker once said he was 6' 8 on a Smackdown episode. So that means Sid is really a about 6' 7, so if you guys aren't seeing a 12 inch difference, then that again, shows how hard it is to be exact to the exact inch by eyeing it.

after reviewing the footage,sid doesn,t appear 12 inches shorter than el gigante i,d say 7-8 inches at the most. sid was definitely taller than 6'6" more like 6'9" to 6'10" at most.

Furthermore, Big show WAS a tall man back in his day. Like Andre, he has lost some height and he's only 33-34 years old, which is kind of sad. People doubt that Andre hadn't lost any height by 1983, when he was already 36-37...lol. Yeah RIGHT!

Alex, as I've mentioned before, the BRitish Bulldog was billed at 5'11" for at least 7 years in the WWF before any other listing, BUT, he was listed at 5'9" (his true height) well before entering the WWF. I have an old magazine of him. He also gained 40 pounds from the 80's to the 90's and then lost it again, after dropping the roids. He was solid, but SHORT. Shorter than me.

In 2000 then he was up to 430lbs he said on a radio show then it was after that where he began to gain more weight and since really hasn't lost any except for one period of time but he gained it right back. I am talking about in later 2001 then by mid 2002 he gained it all back

Now, here is Big Show with 7'1" Dalip Singh;

He looks like a legitimate 7-footer in all these pics. From what I've noticed, Big Show rarely shows good posture (probably because he's used to having to look down at people) so it can give the impression that he's shorter than he actually is. You can see in the Dalip Singh pic that Show's slouching while Singh is standing completely straight. He has much better posture in the pic with Conan and thus looks the full 7 feet.

I'd give Austin 6'0. He really hasn't looked under 6'0 to me in any pictures.
JT, I am not sure if HHH wears lifts or not. I do think he's 6'1.5-6'2 barefoot and just is 6'3 or a bit more in wrestling boots.

Not many wrestlers are being billed at their real height.

Austin is every bit of 6'2 and HHH easily had 2 or 3 inches over him, also I watched both Conan episodes with the Giant and the Big Show and clearly when he appeared as the giant he looked a little taller, Big Show currently as big and tall as he may be is no close to the height he had during his days in WCW I remember he actually made Tony Schiavonne look like a toy during one interview

I think Big Show could be 7'0. I can't see the guy under 6'11. Maybe he could be just shy of 7'0. The pictures with Khali show that he really can't be under the 6'10 mark.

Big Show is the same height now as he was in his WCW days. Because he has gained weight and wears knee pads and taller boots now its makes his body appear shorter. His hair is now shaved too so that may make him look an inch or two shorter than he did in say 1998. Big Show is legit 7'0" that is fact.

You think Big Show is 6'9.5 and Triple H is only 3 inches smaller (6'6.5). Maybe it's time to see an eye doctor. Triple H is 6'2 at best. To me Big Show still looks a solid 6'11 to 7 foot.

it is very clear that Big Show is now much shorter since he was a rookie in WCW, the WCW Giant was easily taller than Khali, remember how Nash actually had to be on his toes in order to stare at the Giant when he was mocking him in WCW?
Now even Kane looked taller than Show, I also remember how he dwarfed HHH when he debuted in the WWE in 1999, now I don't think there are more than 3 inches between the two I think Big Show nowadays stands about 6'9 1/2

I would saw now that Nash is close to 50, he's probably 6'9", at his peak 6'10". I'd still have to give Show 7'0" judging from thye 90's. Perhaps weight may have taken it's toll, he was never as heavy early in his career, much like Andre. Those early shots of Andre make him loo slim and tall, it's crazy. But late in career when he taged with Baba it was obvious that 7'4" or even billed 7'5" was way off base.

Seeing the Nash-Big Show staredown, it is safe to say that Show had 2" on Nash. (Of course, Nash probably did that on purpose because WCW billed him as 7' and Show at 7'4") Nash at the time was 6'10" which leads to Show a legit 7'. Evidence points to Khali being 7'1".

Indeed Canstop25, if you check the ppv The Great American Bash, prior to the Punjabi Prison Match, Big Show and Khali beat up The Undertaker. After that they walk side by side through a hallway and they are the exact same height.
At first I've always thought that Khali was taller, but after seeing that footage (and it was the first good footage where the two were standing side by side) I'm convinced that the height difference between the two is minimal. Certainly not 1.5 - 2 inches. If any, it's more like 0.5 - 1 inch.

You guys need to realize that the staredown khali was stadnign up much more straight then show. I think they are trying to pass off show as the biggest and Khali as the tallest. The other two or three times show and khali were together they appeared to be the same height.

We know Khali was measured at 6'11.5 so he can't be any lower than that really. But we've seen 7'1 measurements of him too. So if he's 6'11.5 and Big Show was as much as 1.5 inches shorter then Big Show can't be under 6'10. I think its Big Show 7'0 and Khali 7'1.

topdweeb26 said on 23/Sep/06
When we had the pics of Big Show and Khali up, Khali's soles were about 1/2 as thick as the Big Show's. So say Big Show is 6' 8 then those lifts looked to give him about 1" to 1-1/2"... I'll go with 1-1/2" just to play the worst case scenario. But this would put Big Show at 6' 9-1/2" (if he is 6' 8 in barefeet). And Khali's shoes looked to be 1/2 as thick, so 3/4" of an inch, and if he is 6'11 barefeet, then that would put him at 6' 11-3/4". That's would put Khali at 2-1/4 inches taller than the Big Show, and that would leave about 1 1/4 inches unaccounted for (in the worst case scenario, at times they look dead even to me). There's no way Big Show is just 6' 8 in barefeet, even if Khali is 6' 11.
And I remember before their face off, Jason said Khali would have several inches on Show, but that didn't happen at all. And yes, WWE would want Khali to tower over Show, because 1. They have Khali billed at 7' 3 and Show at 7'. 2. In a WWE magazine a couples months ago, they had a poster showing the height of the wrestlers, and it had Khali looking a lot taller to the Big Show than he does in real life. And 3. Because when they met up, WWE.com conveniently only show pics of Khali and Big Show at VERY extreme angles that made the Big Show look like he was dwarfed to Khali. So I don't buy into this crap of, "Oh well they made the Big Show wear lifts because they don't want Khali to be that much taller than him".

There's no way Big Show is just 6' 8 in barefeet, even if Khali is 6' 11.
And I remember before their face off, Jason said Khali would have several inches on Show, but that didn't happen at all. And yes, WWE would want Khali to tower over Show, because 1. They have Khali billed at 7' 3 and Show at 7'. 2. In a WWE magazine a couples months ago, they had a poster showing the height of the wrestlers, and it had Khali looking a lot taller to the Big Show than he does in real life. And 3. Because when they met up, WWE.com conveniently only show pics of Khali and Big Show at VERY extreme angles that made the Big Show look like he was dwarfed to Khali. So I don't buy into this crap of, "Oh well they made the Big Show wear lifts because they don't want Khali to be that much taller than him".

Viper, look at it this way, if Big Show is 6'8, than Kane is 6'3-6'4 at best and Hogan would be 6'1 at best. Akebono would be 6'3-6'4 and Lesnar 5'10-5'11. To me there's too much evidence to contradict this. So far Jason hasn't really showed us any evidence to back up his theory. But we have been showing enough evidence to put Big Show at around 7'.

Viper, I don't think Big Show is 6'8 at all. Not just saying that because I am a big fan of his as a wrestler, but I do think the man is 7'0. At lowest 6'11 but no less than that. You have to see these guys in person sometimes to get a real estimate as on TV they can sometimes even look shorter than in real life.

My .02 about Big Show & Dalip going head to head? I think Khali is 6'11'' and Big Show only appeared about 1 inch shorter, but it also looked like he was wearing lifts to me. If Big Show actually were a few inches below Khali, I don't think WWE would have them out there with Khali looming inches above him. We've seen from the variety of heights Big Show appears that he's an occasional lift wearer whatever your opinion is of his height.
Paul, regarding JBL, I didn't mean that in a bad way. Honest. :)

Jason, what did you think about seeing Big Show and Dalip Singh together a few months ago. We all saw it was only an inch between the 2 of them. Depending on how tall you think Singh is then take an inch away and you get Big Show's height.

Anonymous, you can't really see the stance of each at the end. Plus, Rock is looking up while Big Show is looking down, so the height difference is minimized. In the full screen shots when both are standing straight, Big Show looks around 9-10 inches taller than Rock. Big Show's a good head size taller than 6'1" Vince, which would put Big Show at around 7'1". Big Show has big boots on while the other two have dress shows, so that may give him an extra inch advantage.
Andre the Giant never seemed that tall next to Vince unless he was standing on a box.

This vid shows a younger Big Show (looked taller then). At tht end of the video, the Rock and Big Show face off, and the top of Rock's head is to the bottom of Big Show's nose. How many inches do you guys think that could be?

At least a 7 inch difference between Big Show and JBL in that photo. Big Show can easily see over the top of JBL's head if he removed the hat. That's a 5 inch difference right there for a normal size man. Plus, Big Show's head is not normal sized. Plus, Big Show's eyes would be probably 2+ inches above the top of JBL's head. Plus, Big Show's leaning in a bit.... Welcome back Jason, you haven't changed a bit!

Cool comparison, Bleemo. I don't know how to do all that photoshop stuff. :/ I think you may have slightly undercut where JBL's big old melon comes up to though, & more importantly the pic is on right leaning angle (look at the door in the background).

Nah JBL is more then 5 inches shorter then Big show in that picture. Take off his hat and I reckon he would be about an inch or so under his nose. I've been doing me colouring in again, shoot lets get crazy today...
Click Here
As to that crapbook, I am surprised to hear you say the Rock doesn't look that tall. He's leaning in to the guy and is still has about 3.5 inches on him, if he stood up straight the guys head would be about in line or a little under the Rock's eyeline i.e. 4.5-5 inches shorter. The guy is atleast Angle's height and if you look he could be a half inch taller in fact. So taking that into account the Rock is still in the 6'2.5-6'3 range.
What is interesting is that Austin and Rikishi are barely taller then the man, they both look in the 5'11-6'0 range. Foley for example looks much taller then the man then those other two are.

so jason you admit are you gonna admit that you were lying about morgan? becasue there is no chance that he is 6'5" and all of us can clearly see that he was not 250lbs.
and as far as the time your "Father was a cop" and "was with big show when he was arrested" Basically its an insult to somebody in your family, because either you are a liar or youre father aint too bright. Now I dont know your father, and I am not going to insult him, so I am definitelly going to bank on the first one, and that you are a LIAR! Because anybody with half a brain could see that big show is minimum 6'10" and possibly as high as 7'1" not friggin 6'7"!
so be a man step up and admit that you lied, and I will actually have some respect for you.

The pic with JBL is taken when Big Show was waiting in the back for Kurt Angle to show up, who a week earlier on Smackdown tied up Joy Giovanni and locked her up in JBL's limo. Big Show was sitting on a chair when JBL came up to him. Big Show stood up from the chair but didn't attack him. I believe the pic was taken when Big Show wasn't standing completely straight yet. See if I can find the vid somewhere.

viper you ca never go by those backstage pics they alwasy make show look smaller(they made him appear only 6 inces taller then Tiple H)
the only times they dont make show look bigger is when he is with somebody like paul heyman or mean gene okerlund
They always make the wrestlers look taller when standing next to the reporters. Lie MAria and Todd Grisham. I truly believe that Girsham is a legit 6'2" and tehy once made kane look a full foot taller then him. So basicaly in closing you can compare heights when they are backstage. In the ring can be good, outside the arena is the best.

In the 15 seconds that I ever watched that Tough Enough show on MTV, I saw a group of wrestlers, including Morgan, in some room (it may have been a hotel room). Morgan was barefoot and had to duck under the front door of the room when exiting. Here in the U.S., you'll rarely find any door under 6'7". The odds are zip in a commercial building where they were. The standard door height here is 6'8". I think he was no less than 6'9" and probably closer to 6'10" and around 320 lbs.

Alex I think Morgan was a lift wearer. That said, 6'9 is possible.

Can't stop, Morgan was a legit 6'10 probably, at least 6'9 though which was likely too. 250lbs for Morgan??? yea right. That man was around 320lbs I can bet.

Matt Morgan was nothing under 6'9. He looked 6'9, possibly 6'10. He was billed at 6'11 I think. At least 6'10 he was billed at.

Well Danimal and Cantstop25, if Jason was just under 6'3 (he said his head was a good 10ins and his feet 12ins so could well be) there is no way he could have been standing close to Big Show and genuinely thought he was 6'8.

I cant believe you guys are going by Jason when he has clearly lied on many occasions, I mean cmon he said that his dad measured big show at 6'7".... seriously how can you people not see that he is full of it, he probably wants to be a pro wrestler and does not believe that he is tall enough to make it or something... EARTH TO JASON Rey Mysterio is 5'3" on a good day. Another time where he clearly lied was when he said that Matt Morgan a man who was described by undertaker in an interview as a walking mountain, was only 6'5" he also said that he was only 250 lbs! Now if anybody saw

Hmm I think Jason pegged JBl at 6'3.5 if I remember rightly, which actually doesn't seem too far from the truth, I'd say an inch taller personally. Matt Morgan is definately over 6'5 though, he's just too tall to to be under say 2 metres tall just by looking at him.

Who cares how tall Jason was, or what Jason said. Is he the benchmark for all that is valid and all that is not?? Come on guys..

Jason said that Morgan wears lifts, so that's why he pegged him at 6'5. With the lifts he would probably be 6'8.
If Jason is 6'3 (I believed he once said he was 6') and pegged JBL at 6'2, than that means he was shorter than him.

IIRC, Jason also pegged Matt Morgan at 6'5" and JBL at around 6'2". Here's Morgan with about a foot advantage over Carlito (Click Here) and probably 8+ inches on John Cena (Click Here).

Viper, Jason did soon change his estimate to 6'8 but still that was too short but better than 6'7.

Maybe Big Show was slouched some, and his heavy appearance made him even shorter. Its just amazing how he would estimate a guy who is at least 6-10 1/2-6-11 only 6-7.

Furthermore PAUL, who am I trying to impress on here? If I wanted to impress people, I would make outlandish claims that I was 6'2", 6'4", or 6'11" like our little friend. I haven't. I've stated I'm 28 years old and am 5'9.5"-5'10". Finally, ff you think I use aliases, you should have your paranoia treated. I've always used Danimal, but if you prefer to call me Dan, which is my real name, then make my day punk ;).

Paul, who said I was an expert. Relax GUY! I've been involved in martial arts since 1989. I hold a black belt in one art and a brown in another and am currently involved in Aikido/Laido. Those who know me on here, know I don't exagerate. I'm a straight up, no bs guy, so watch who you call out on this board. Got it!

Viper, I find that very hard to believe Big Show would only be 6'7-6'8. Jason must have been underestimating or Big Show wasn't standing straight or didn't have a good stance. Underestimating was most likely it.

Did anyone see Big Show on Raw this week? That had some GREAT shots of his height. The McMahon's stand anywhere from 6'0" - 6'2", so let's say for arguements sake they're both 6'1". Big Show TOWERED over them. And he wasn't wearing his wrestling boots (which I do believe give him some extra height) he was wearing a dress shoe. So even if the dress shoe gave him an inch or inch and a half, the McMahons were both we're dress shoes too, in other words, they were proportioned the same and Show still dwarfed them. I always believed he's about 6'11", I wish I could meet the guy in person one day.

Lex get yourself on youtube for some proof...and no cheating. Your not the first guy to make outlandish claims and you won't be the last. Personally I am also suspicious about sid, eric and danimal all claiming to be martial arts experts. The first two also use various aliases but then again thats another story.

Lex, you're full of BS. If you're 6' 11, then Show is not 3-4 inche taller than you... he himself says he is just 7'. And Khali isn't really any taller than Show. And the Undertaker has said that he is 6' 8, which is about right since Show has about 4 inches on him... who do you think you're fooling?

I'm a big guy myself (6'11, 400 lbs), and I recently went to a Smackdown/ECW event where the Big Show, the Great Khali, and the Undertaker were all present. I was fortunate enough to be in the 3rd row. Taker and I are about the same size (I've got a bigger belly). Khali is MUCH bigger than I am and the big show is only a few inches taller. Khali has got to be at least 5-6 inches taller than me and Show is only 3 or 4 inches taller than me. I'd say that show is in between 480 and 500 lbs.

O sure then upload the picture. Its funny Bonjasky was a guy who I always pinned down as a true legit 6'4" I thought that he could even pass for 6'5" I guess that it is his lanky appearance that amkes him look so tall. Just as big guys like akebono and Big show do not appear as tall as they really are because they are so wide.
O an btw if you upload the pic with bonjasky do you think you ca. upload a pic of you with another celebrity who is 6'+ that is if you have one of course. its not that I dont trust you i just want to be sure :)

Danimal, I was just watching a bit of stuff from late 2004-early 2005 and thats when Big Show was billed at 470lbs and yea he did look ligthter there then he is now. Not by much but he still did, was probably ligther then he looked since he is so big already.

Danimal, very true. When you're already big or fat or like Big Show's size 30lbs may be a bit tough to tell and won't look like much weight on, but if someone 200lbs goes to 230lbs you can def tell.

Ed, 6'7" is still tall.
Alex, if you take a big figther, against a smaller guy who doesn't know how to fight, YES, if the bigger guy actually gets a hold of the smaller guy, it's over. However, I believe if you pit a smaller (more agile and quicker) fighter against a larger fighter (like Tank Abbott), the smaller guy will have the advantage. The prime example is Tyson is in the 80's. He was too quick and knocked out these monsters who were a half foot taller than him. Again, height and extra bodyweight is a disadvantage in fighting. Bruce Lee was definitely cut and defined (muscular), but in no means was he a large man. I love when he fought Kareem Abdul Jabaar. A 5'7" man against a 7'2" man. Download that movie, it's awesome.
Finally, yes, I think Big Show has gained 30 pounds. Take into account that 30 pounds on a 7 footer who is already huge won't show nearly as much, but I can tell.

Akebono is not 6'8". i've met the guy in japan in 2003 and he's barely 6'7". if you compare him 2 some k1 fighters( of whom i've got pics) he's probaly 2-3" taller than Remy Bonjasky who himself is my size(that being 6'3")
