Big Show's Height
6ft 10 (208.3 cm)
Peak height was 7ft 0 (213.4 cm)
American wrestler Paul Wight. He has said "I'm 7 foot and Andre was about 7ft 1, 7ft 2" and when somebody claimed he was 6ft 7 and 325 pounds - he retorted with his real weight: "Actually I am seven feet tall. I weigh 452 pounds". He also claimed to have "Always been a little over 7 feet tall".

Canson I clearly stated 'on video' not photos re: Levi/Wade.
If you want to debate officially listed measured heights knock yourself out because I won't be participating past this post. What are the odds one of the top 5 basketball propects that year could get away with as much as an inch overlisting at a combine while probably every member of the basketball press and scouting network were present?
Sotiris, the point of posting that shot is to show roughly how tall Wight stands with Manganiello which is roughly 6 inches taller. Wilder comes out about 5 inches shorter comparing him to Boomer. If Wilder is flat 6'6 then he will come to roughly Big Show's eyeliner maybe a little above if they met.

Well Vegas by that logic, I could also say that Michael Clarke Duncan is only 6’2”. Hes the same height as the Rock in this picture. That would be equally as silly because we know MCD is not 6’2”. That’s what I’m talking about with suspect pics

The pic with Levi and Duncan where you compare Wade to them doesn’t show full body. You can’t see footwear or Ground level.

Wade with Carmelo. That’s more than a 2 or 2.5” difference. Melo actually is around the height he was supposedly credited with measuring

@Vegas: I don’t base it off one picture though. Its off several. I also look at in game on the court and from what I’ve heard of people that have seen him. I look at him with other players as well and former players. Comparing him to Hulk Hogan is no different than the debate that you are having with Sotiris about Taker’s height. That would be like him sayin Hogan isn’t as tall as he’s listed and using Wade to show that. We all know that Hogan has poor posture as well. So that is likely the case there. I look at Wade with Kobe and Barkley and others on the court and can tell in addition to how he looks with Lebron and Carmelo. He’s not 6’3.75. So I guess if it’s not worth arguing “Combine” listings then why is this guy here Julian Peterson listed at 6’3” in the NFL after measuring 6’5.1? Or Shawne Merriman being listed 6’4 3/8 and he’s obviously not. There’s a reason why Lebron and others have said that Wade is not as tall as he’s listed even Lebron calling him 6’3” and Wade correcting him and saying he’s 6’4”. If Wade were really 6’3.75 barefoot he would be listed at 6’5”.

Considering Wade was noticeably taller than Hulk Hogan at 2007 Father of the year, Michael Clarke Duncan and Zach Levi backstage on video at Tonight Show, the odds on him being a full inch shorter than his officially listed measured height are practically zero.
Canson what I have found over the years is debating officially listed measured heights is pretty much fruitless (that and trying to prove someone is wearing internal lifts).
And sure you can find photos where anyone looks shorter..I mean we can all post photos :) Click Here

@Christian: it’s tough to say with Wade. Out of all the players in that class that I’ve observed and even met (Melo, Hinrich, Bogans) with the exception of TJ Ford they all looked close to what they are supposed to meaning I doubt they’re morning heights. Possibly more like lunch time which could be rounded up an 1/8” but that may be it. And for Keith Bogans he was measured at 6’4.5 in 2002 and 6’4.25 in 2003. TJ Ford looks closer to 5’10” than 5’11”. But then I see guys like Bosh who looks a full 6’10” minimum on TV and Lebron who generally looks 6’7”. I am curious about Udonis Haslem though. He can look 6’6.5 at times but also 6’6 at times (pre draft is 6’6.75). I would say 6’6.5 is best case. It is said that Lebron was like Kobe In that he never attended the pre draft. Lebron actually attended it but not sure if he was actually measured per an article I once read that said that he was never measured after surpassing “Michael Jordan’s” 6’6”. I only mention that because Lebron was only given 3/4” for shoes. But I could easily buy a full 6’7” for Lebron even though I have said 6’6.75. 6’6.75 is equally possible for him but that may signal a morning type measurement if that’s the case. To me Wade’s measurement could be discrepant. It could be possible that he laid around before being measured (which looks like what Love did as he’s said to be 6’7” and the combine was in the afternoon in 2008). But if he were 6’3.75 or even rounded up from 6’3.5 he would still look a strong 6’3” most of the time. He looks weak 6’3” often enough in my opinion

@Vegas: I didnt say that they were fake. But there is a possibility for discrepancies. And I clearly said in my post to you that it could be an error. But if you believe in the measurements as your basis, that’s fine. I just said that I don’t believe in all of them without looking closely at players first. Although I don’t rule out some of the messumenrs being embellished. Look at Shawne Merriman but that may be a discrepancy or on him. He obviously is not anything remotely close to 6’4 3/8. And this is despite the Combine measurements being very early morning as I’ve proven before and Rob even admitted. They take place about an hour after waking up. Comparing Senior Bowls and Pro days to them over the years, players end up about 3/8” to 1/2” taller on average at the combine.
Back to Wade. Looking at him on the court against a guy like Keith bogans he’s not 6’4”. Same with ray Allen. And with 6’7.25 listed Lebron or Wilton’s Speight 6’5.25 it’s clear he is not 6’3.75 barefoot. I don’t take Pre Draft measurements with a grain of salt just because it says that they are supposed to be “official”. Rob has already proven this that there are discrepancies when he showed the video of 5111 being the measurement and 5113 being written down instead. They measure hundreds of players at a time so it is easy to make mistakes not to mention if they have lifts in socks etc.

My theory is that either Wade's measurement was an error by an inch, or he was measured 6'3.5" in the morning and was given an extra 1/4".

@Sotiris: to be honest, I wouldn’t worry about being “too harsh”. You see a lot of guys inflate people by 2 or 3 inches on this site because they want their celebs to be taller even reverting to making stuff up. Very rarely is anything said to them so don’t see why you can’t speak your mind that he’s shorter. It’s always a sin when people downgrade but when they upgrade it’s swept under the mat. Look around at how silly some of the other estimates that people here give that are as unbelievable as they get as far as inflation, yet you hear more about yours than they do. A lot of times their comments arent responded to. And Wade to be fair hardly looks 6’3” If you ask me. 6’2.5-6’3 looks believable.

You're right. Nash does look taller once you account for the camera positioning. And I doubt their footwear would be much different in that situation, since both would be wearing dress shoes with suits.

There was clearly 3 inches between Kane and Big Show in that footage.
Kane was 6' 7.5" back then plus 3" (at least) footwear brought him to near 6' 11"
Big Show was with 2" footwear meaning he was 7' back then.

@Christian, 184 Big Show has always been the taller man, but I just found it interesting that Nash was in the back and still had substantial height.

@Sotiris: a pic like that with Lebron and Bosh isn’t always the best way to judge. See Lebron who is 6’7” with Wade and see 6’5.25 Wilton Speight with Wade. I’d be highly surprised if Wade measures above 6’3 (I could make a case for a weak 6’3 as I already have). Lebron has even said Wade is at most 6’3” and Erik Spoelstra and Otis Smith (Orlando’s former GM) both called him 6’4” on a good day. A guy who measures 6’3.25 isn’t considered 6’4 on a good day. He would be over 6’4” (6’4.5) in basketball shoes. Wade would “maybe” make 6’4 if not just 6’3.75 in them
As for Boomer and Mariota, I don’t trust that pic. I would lay money down on the table that Boomer is the taller of the two. Brady is clearly taller than Mariota as well and he’s 6’4”. Boomer would be about Brady’s height today give or take a fraction maybe. Mariota may not be as low as 6’3.25 but best case is 6’3 3/8 being he measured where he did about an hour out of bed as all NFL combines are held early morning. I saw an article before that I posted that said the players wake at 6am, drug test then get measured right after. That’s about an hour after waking especially when we see people like Johnny Manziel tweet at 740 am what his measurement is. Mariota could be perhaps as low as 6’3.25 but as high as 3/8. He would probably be 6’4” flat out of bed. Boomer looks like a guy who would measure 6’4” later in the day (if not at a low). I’d be surprised if he even dipped below. I say what I do about morning and evening because the site (as Rob has mentioned before) isn’t based on morning heights. It’s based on afternoon heights.

Melo is around his draft listing. No less than 6’6 no higher than 6’6.25. It likely took place in the afternoon the year he Lebron and Wade got drafted and Wade’s measurement is likely in shoes
That’s only a 5” difference with Mourning not 6”. Mourning though isn’t 6’9” he’s 6’8” range. As for Boomer he doesn’t look to be standing completely straight so that would likely reduce that margin by a bit and Boomer likely 6’4” Mourning 6’8 and a bit

@Sotiris: I wouldn’t say that Boomer can’t be based on that pic alone. And for Mariota that’s very possible 6’3 3/8 or 1/4 based on when he measured. Boomer is taller than Selleck. Selleck isn’t slouching that much if even. The only reason Mariota looks taller than Boomer is due to where he is standing and the camera. Look at Boomer with James Brown or Dan Marino both of whom I’ve met. Brown claimed that he’s 6’4.5-6’5 in an article a couple years back and looked maybe half inch taller than me (having not addressed footwear). So he could be 6’4.5 or worst case my height but I’ll say he’s 6’4.5 since he prob wouldn’t have had that much more shoe on than me. Marino was about an inch shorter than me so 6’3.25 like Rob has him or maybe he’s just a solid 6’3” today (I met him many years ago) but no less than that. Boomer still looks every bit of 6’4 to tell you the truth. At times he’s taller than Brown on camera. If he were 6’3 he would be Marino’s height and he’s taller.

@Vegas Wilder and Fury did not look very close at the weigh-in. One guy is 6'6" flat, the other is around 6'7". A 6'6" Wilder means that Shaq is under 7 feet.

@Vegas: Aikman was never measured 6’4.25 from what I’ve seen. I saw 6’2.5 and 6’3.5. As for Rodman, I see where you’re coming from. Jordan is likely 6’4.5 like he was said to be when drafted and Rodman probably 6’6” and change only going off afternoon heights imho
Btw I agree with you. Boomer is still 6’4” minimum. Not sure if he were ever 6’5 but he doesn’t look 6’3” even today.

Khali looked only 1.5" taller than Big Show in 2010, and there's virtually no way that Show was legit 7'0" anymore by then (and I doubt Show was ever 7'0" to begin with). 6'10"-6'10.5" was more believable around 2010. Click Here

Boomer Esiason was listed 6'5 during his NFL playing career and still easily an inch taller than Tom Selleck recently enough so 6'3 for him in very unlikely.

Boomer and ~6'9 Alonzo Mourning Click Here
Wilder and Fury looked very close in height at weigh in on Friday. Regardless Shaq looks solid 7 foot guy even if Wilder is flat 6'6 in that full length shot. Shaq under 7 foot and 6'9 Chara estimates (even first thing in morning) make little sense seeing the two together
Canson I can only base estimates on what I see. Rodman also has claimed 6'8 many times too. If Rodman was under 6'7 at peak he was 2 inches taller than Jordan and that means Thomas is under 6'1 (probably under 6 foot) which has a knock on effect with Will Smith, Holyfield even Arnold Schwarzeneggers heights in the early 90s. Rodman was 3+ inches taller in recent enough photos with Troy Aikman who himself was measured 6'4.25 during his playing days.
I would take what team-mates say with grain of salt re Kevin Nash claims Hogan was 6'4 peak when he saw him at show in 1980s but Shawn Michaels was 6'1 when he first met him in 93.

@Sotiris: Mariota measured 6’3.75 early morning meaning he’s really just a strong 6’3”. 6’3.25/6’3 3/8. Boomer still looks 6’4” most of the time on CBS. I can agree on Deontay being Melo’s size or maybe a tiny fraction shorter. I doubt he’s under 6’6” flat though as Melo wouldn’t be under it either. If anything he’s maybe a hair over or exact

@184guy: they could be close enough to where theres no noticeable difference. I think esp today Kobe would edge him esp if Kobe’s measurement is his low which it does appear to be around that mark (if below 195 it’s mm’s). Barkley only measures 6’4 5/8 peak (not sure if his low or not then but I surmise it’s close to it). Question is did Barkley lose height as he’s 55 now and has had hip replacement and bad knees plus his weight.

Does everyone's height have to be downgraded by 2 inches, just on the off chance there may be a picture trail back to Andre that actually proves to the downgraders that he was just over 7'.

Sotiris, here is one where HHH isn't much closer to camera Click Here
That's just last month and both Sheamus/Cesaro are taller than HHH Click Here
Basketballers are not like wrestlers in that they are not taking big bumps 250-300 nights a year and undergoing evasive surgeries like neck fusion, back/spine, hip and knee replacement etc so no need to cutting big chunks off them. Bill Russell has held onto most of his height in his 80s, Kareem is still at least 7'1 in his 70s so it's very doubtful Rodman has lost anything yet, he was 6'7 for sure in his 20s..Thomas edged out Will Smith on Fresh Prince, Smith was taller than Evander Holyfield on same show and Rob has a photograph with Holyfield if you want to see how they measure up Click Here
Christian, Show and Khali went face to face between 2006-10. So Show was taller than 6'10 range then. If you are basing heights on Rob's listings, he had Show listed 7 foot during that particular period (higher than I thought he was at the time)

The pic I already posted of Battier and Bosh shows that he's around 6'6.25", especially the ones w/ Mike Miller... and the pic of Gasol next to 7'1" Porzingis shows that he's around 6'11", not 7 feet, IMHO.

Howard is 100% slouching and still 100% taller than Show.
It's important to note that HHH is not even 6'2" anymore; the dude's, like, 6'1.5", max.

@Sotiris: I have Melo as 6’6 maybe 6’6.25 and Lebron as 6’6.5 maybe 6’7. Lebron is usually taller in pics by around 0.5-1”. Melo is an easy 6’6” barefoot

@Rising: I think for Carter that that’s either mid day or a low. I don’t think he would measure 6’5.5 other than within an hour after waking. He really never looks more than 6’5” to me at least. I notice with draft listing in the NBA there are no 1/8”. So if Carter were 6’5.25 or slightly over (even by a mm), they would give him 6’5.5. When Carter came in the league he was a 2/3 (swingman) and they didn’t know what he would end up playing. He played 3 in Toronto a lot early on. He may have been morning. For comparison tho midday should only be around maybe 1/8” more than evening. I just go with a low so like in my case I wake up 6’5-6’5 1/8 (195.7cm) and go down to 193.8 most days whereas a heavier day at the gym maybe 193.6-.7 (exactly 6’4.25). I used to claim 6’4.5 and use that for reference when comparing but now I would use 6’4.25 as my reference point if I meet anyone in person.
As for Dikembe I see 5” there too. With Haslem, we aren’t sure if that’s a morning height but even if not I see Haslem leaning noticeably with Mourning whereas Mourning stands straight in the pic. I could easily buy a 6’8 range Zo to be honest.
For Tmac: I remember they said one leg is longer than the other by a full inch. I agree he can look 6’6 and 6’7. If Ariza is a full 6’7” he may be close but also possible Ariza is only 6’6.5 and 6’7 morning. Although Ariza does look 6’7” often too

Lebron was measured an inch taller than Carmelo on the same day so he is the taller man. Also looked an inch taller at the ESPYs Click Here
Dave Meltzer said Khali was measured 7'0.5 at the Californian wrestling school he got his start in the 1990s..which happens to be not far from where Meltzer lives. Edge would have been taller than 6'2 flat when he was wrestling, he has lost height in recent years thanks to multiple neck surgeries, he is in bad shape physically, usually are when you have to retire on top at 37/38. He didn't look that much taller than Christian last time on Raw and he used to have almost 4 inches on him at peak.
Canson like I said I very much doubt Show is a short as 6'9 range today.
He completely dwarfs Cesaro on TV recently and Cesaro is no small guy. A 6'9 range Show would mean Kane is 6'5 range which again is unlikely as he edged out 6'6 Corbin in a faceoff at mania earlier this year.

@Sotiris: Mourning only looks 4" shorter than solid 7'1" Mutombo and I also doubt Ewing is just a flat 6'10". Not surprisingly, Ewing looks roughly 2" shorter than Mutombo. Mourning looking clearly taller than a still 6'9" minimum Bill Russell being awarded DPOY in 2000 and clearly taller than 6'8.75" measured Kenyon Martin in a full pic is enough for me to consider Mourning's 6'9.5" measurement may have been about right. Worst case, I'd say it was early and Mourning is maybe a weak 6'9" since I'll agree he looks more like 6'8.5" if Bosh is 6'10.25". Mourning looks much more 6'9" than 6'8" with 6'6.75" Udonis Haslem: Click Here Click Here
@Canson: I can't see less than 7'0" for Pau seeing him with Kobe, Bynum, Marc, Dirk, Odom etc. I'm not sure if Carter's 6'5.5" was particular early or not. Maybe he was only 6'5" midday, but maybe it's his slouch. T-Mac is similar. Sometimes looked 6'6" range, but other times as tall as a solid 6'7". Looked basically identical to Ariza, imo.

its strange to think this guy is 5 cm shorter than at peak. when he is 60 years old he will be maybe 8-10 cm shorter in this rate.If he lives to 70 he will have lost 15 cm. COuld be a record here on celebheight. I think he may have been little shorter than 7 fett at peak but a fraction over in the morning

Here's the same pic I posted of LeBron et al., only I straightened it a tad:

(If LeBron is 6'6.5", then Chandler does look around 6'11.5".)
Also, I posted this on Khali's page, but I'll include it here, seeing as this page is kind of a hub and gets more foot traffic... Compare the pic I already posted of Khali and then 6'2" Edge w/ 6-11" David Robinson and 6'2" Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Click Here
I think it shows that Robinson--who's slouching--is the taller man. Meaning there's no way Khali is taller than 6'11" in the pic w/ Edge.

@Sotiris: you aren’t wrong about Mourning. He is 6’8” range. That pre draft is his shoe measurement. For good measure compare him to Larry Johnson. LJ measures 6’5.5 at some point in the day I’m sure but in person he looks 6’5-6’5.5 range as opposed to 6’5.5-6’6 or even a legit 197. He’s 196 range

Like JT pointed out Battier is closer to the camera with Big Show because Battiers head would not be that big next to an acromegalic.
Here is another photo with Show and ~6'7 Udonis Haslem closer to the camera this time from a few months ago. And to think one or two here in recent months thought Show is Haslems height out of the gear..

Also Show had Kevin Durant by an inch in their pic. I could still give him 6’10” today but Christian even pointed out that he could look 6’9.5 today.

Sotiris you can post all the pictures you want it's not gonna make a difference to me this isn't like the undertaker where I've never been close enough to guess his height which with big show I was close enough and he was over 7'0" in boots so I'd still say 6'11" barefoot now that was 15 years ago so he could've lost height since then but I still don't see him under 6'10"

@Rising: McGrady is supposedly 6’6.5. The newspaper article putting him 6’7” may just be a roundup or a morning measurement. Next to Vince Carter who is approximately 6’5” (6’5.5 is likely an earlier measurement possibly rounded up). He doesn’t look 6’7 with 6’4” Bonzi Wells. Pippen actually can look taller at times with Wells than Tmac. As for Ariza not sure if he’s a morning height or not. He honestly looks a legit 6’7” at times. Best comparison may be with MWP who’s probably around 6’5.25 at a low judging how he looks with Kobe.
As for Battier, I agree that he’s probably taller than 6’6” but to Sotiris’s credit he can look 6’6 range (not a flat 6’6”) at times too. He looks shorter than boozer or Lebron both at times. But on the other hand, Battier looks at least 6’7” other times With Lebron. i would say 6’7” most likely. I don’t believe he’s 6’8”. Boozer measured close to 6’8” but is said to be closer to 6’7” by some which he honestly looks 6’7 and change. One thing I will point out is Elton Brand’s height. He shows 6’8.25 but no chance. He is said to be 6’6”. With Mike Miller Battier looks 6’7” imho as Miller is around the same. I question Gasol’s height a bit though as he doesn’t look 7’0” imho. Probably 6’11” range. I used to think he was 7’0 but not sure now.

Pippen may have been a fraction taller prime but he’s had a bunch of back issues with herniated discs going back to when he was younger with the Bulls (in the 80s)

Khali was described 6'11 7/8". If the article wanted to downgrade his height, they wouldn't have chosen something so specific like 6'11 7/8". Besides, he looks shorter than Shaq who's a real 7 footer. As for Kanter, I've already said that his shoes are no thicker than Air Force One's which are no more than 1.25", while Strowman's chunky construction boots add around 4cm. Kanter doesn't even have a big afro in that pic btw. Just slightly thicker than average curly hair. That's a good 2.25" difference, and 2.5"-2.75" if you include footwear difference.

Big Show was alot taller like close to 5 inches taller out of gear (at least in 2010) than Baron Corbin who I met in early 2014.
That Show and Jericho photo is from 2009, if you watch videos Show has 14 inches on Jericho and a full head (12 inches) on Miz a short time later when they tagged
I would be surprised if Show is 6'9 range today given the height he has in Cesaro and Sheamus and had on Dean Cain a year or two again never mind a decade ago when he teamed with Jericho

@Sotiris: I agree Shaq is clearly taller with Pippen than Chandler and Shaq was also noticeably taller with Amare than Chandler was. I wouldn't guess Chandler less than his rookie 6'11.5" measurement, but maybe no more either since Pippen oddly looks just 4" shorter than Chandler even while slouching and he's measuring up quite well to supposedly 6'10.5" Eddy Curry there. Also, Pippen still looks near 1" taller than 6'6" Jalen Rose even while slouching. Good pic of Magic and Barkley. Magic looks anywhere from 4-5 cm taller, imo. I certainly don't see Griffin towering Pippen though. The photo is tilted and neither are standing straight and Pippen is closer to the camera so it's difficult to say what the difference is because the background makes it not so easy to definitively correct the tilt. I'm not sure if 'Nique was less than 6'7", though Barkley(with a possible camera advantage) looks just slightly shorter there. I have a much easier time believing Mourning's 6'9.5" measurement than 6'8" flat for him. The lowest I could buy would be 6'8.5"-6'9" range. But considering I guess Jordan just under 6'5" or about 195 cm, Pippen looks about 6'7" flat with him in 2012, imo. Battier is not 6'6", though. I don't know where you got that one. He was said to have measured a legit 6'8" and whether he's that tall or not, he was taller than Tracy McGrady and Trevor Ariza, both around 6'7".
Back to Big Show, I wouldn't be completely surprised if he stretched a bit over 6'10" for a measurement and 6'11.5" is probably the lowest I could buy peak. When did he first appear to lose height? I'm still skeptical of a full 2" height loss by his age, but I see a much better chance of Show at 7' peak than Andre.

No,that is how Jericho looked with Big show woth similar boots dont asume show has fotwear advantage
The big show has a very big head if he was 6ft11 a 5ft11 guy will reach his chin so that looks accurate
Jercho is just a bit under his head

@Sotiris: the picture with Magic and Majerle and Terry Porter is what I’ve been proving all along. Barkley is not and has never been 6’5 let alone over it. Magic at 6’7 makes him about 6’4.5 (max) and that’s with Magic leaning a bit. Majerle also is taller than barkley as I’ve been saying all along. Barkley may just be 6’4.25 today honestly

Height descriptions in newspapers and magazines are meaninglessness. Arnold was described 5ft 10 at peak Click Here
Kanters shoes measured over 1 and 1/2 inches during combine so I doubt he has less footwear than Strowman, in fact Kanters heels look noticeably bigger. All in all Strowman looks solid 6ft 7 with Kanter because Kanter has afro which isn't part of his overall height.
And of course Strowman has a bigger head. He probably has taken enough HGH to kill normal humans. The guy used to pull airplanes for a living.

@Sotiris: Some interesting finds, but in quite a few of those Shaq is further from the camera. As for Lebron, I think there's enough wide shots, back to back shots etc. to get an idea of the height difference. That Magic pic is a good find as it's a wide shot and Shaq looks to be standing straighter, but Magic is closer to the camera and the background suggests it might be slightly tilted in Magic's favor, but Magic is reaching Shaq's eyes in that photo so it's still anywhere from 4.5" to 5" while Kareem is about an inch taller with Magic in that walk of fame photo. He does look under 7 feet with Jerry, but in both cases looks further from the camera to me and with the angle lower, I'd think this would exaggerate the height difference. Here's a back to back photo with Yao that appears to be taken from a good height: Click Here That Wade photo is pretty funny, though. He's measuring up better to Jerry than he often did to Shaq. He must be standing on something.
But you're right, we should probably take this more over to Shaq's page lol.

Speaking of 6'7"-6'7.5" Magic, look at how short he looks next to a leaning Shaq in a wide shot: Click Here I agree with Rob that 6'4.5" is too low for Barkley and that difference varies.

And the very top of Barry's hat doesn't even reach Shaq's nose in that pic: Click Here It's barely above his mouth. Barry is quite easily 8" shorter without the hat. I doubt Pippen is only 6'6.5" and you can barely tell anything from that pic.

As for Khali, I think 7'0"-7'0.5" range is believable.

Khali was also given 7'1 listings in India before he was famous...and has claimed 7'2 a couple times, but he has also casually said "7 foot" as well...Could be a John cana effect where he's actually over 6' but is just saying a round number.
Whatever he actually is...that man sure looks 7'1-7'2 a lot.

@Sotiris: I do agree on Deontay Wilder. He looks shorter than Carmelo (possibly due to the angle). While it’s likely he’s not shorter, I would say that knowing what both of us know about time of day, it’s very possible that his 6’6.5 measurement is an earlier one and that he’s similar with Melo 6’6/6’6.25 instead of 6’6.5

@Sotiris: Thanks! I agree Bosh is probably a guy who doesn’t dip under 6’10”. Not sure if 6’10.25 is a low but maybe it is. I will say he would fall into the same category as Carmelo as I highly doubt he falls under and doubt either of them fall under the marks. As for Lebron, I would say he looks as if he falls under the mark when standing with Bosh or Melo but he’s still likely closer to 6’7” than 6’6”. I would estimate him as 6’6.5 absolute minimum but 6’6.75 probably.

Khali was listed 6'11.5" and 6'11 7/8" in some sites and articles when he was a bodybuilder, and that was before he became a wrestler. A 7'1" person would not get 6'11.5" or 6'11 7/8" listings.
I dont care maybe he was a teen and still gorwiing a 7ft KHALI would mean a big downgrade for every wrestler he faced:Batista Cena HHH etc,and that would downgrade the guys who they faced, just 7ft makes no sense

@Canson: Possible because he does look slightly shorter than Melo in the pic, but I thought if a guy looked a solid 6'6" and was claiming 6'6.5" it was pretty believable. But even a 6'6" flat Wilder makes Shaq look at least 7'0" since the difference has to be more like 7" to reach just his nose on a man Shaq's size and then you deduct about a half inch for footwear advantage.
@Sotiris: 7'0" peak is fair for Shaq. That's what some reports said he measured, though the article Rob quotes said a little over, which looks right to me. Here's Shaq with a man closer to 6'5" than 6'4": Click Here If Kobe is 6'6" in shoes then Shaq is looking 7'2" in shoes there back to back in street clothes. I'm not saying he's 7'1" barefoot, but he looks a strong enough 7'0" to me and can look 7'1" a lot even in street clothes. I'm not convinced of height loss, though. In the wider shot with Tebow, Shaq is almost a full head taller: Click Here That still puts Shaq a pretty easy 7'0". Same thing with 5'11.5" Jimmy Fallon: Click Here I actually buy Fallon's listing because I've seen him with someone I know was around that height, but even if you say more 5'11" flat, you still have Shaq easily 7'0". And I believed Shaq had probably lost some height myself before seeing some of these comparisons, which credit goes to JT for posting. But Shaq looks at least 6" taller than Lebron in the pic you posted and I think I was the one who uploaded that with the line. I intentionally put the line high to eliminate all doubt and Lebron is still barely above Shaq's nose. Here's the 4 pics you just posted: Click Here Lebron usually reaches Bosh's eyebrows, sometimes a bit above and sometimes a bit below with the one exception where he reaches his eyes, but never below. You want to see someone who truly looks enormous with Lebron: Click Here As you can see, Lebron is consistently right around the bottom of Shaq's nose or just above. Note Wade was anywhere from Bosh's nose to his mouth, but look at how Shaq is consistently around a full head taller than Wade: Click Here Shaq is easily a couple of inches taller than Bosh with both Lebron and Wade. But I give you credit for changing your mind from 6'11" to 7'0" peak for Shaq and in general for posting to back up your claims and having an open mind so you're definitely not a troll.

As for Babatunde being 6'8" rather than 6'9"... NFL listings are not always gospel truth.

Click Here And yes, Strowman's body is closer to the camera, despite feet placement. Look at Kanter's smaller head. As for Shaq...
@Erik C. I think Shaq was 7 feet tall peak, never 7'1" and is now around 6'11.5". Looking at David Robinson back in the day for comparison shows that Shaq was a 7-footer. If I'm wrong, then my humble apologies. Thanks for not thinking I'm a troll... :)
@Canson And a big thanks to Canson for being a cool dude. Respect.
Here's a nice pic Pdoggy posted of LeBron and Shaq... Click Here LeBron is not really 6'7.25", as that is a morning height, and looks around 6'6" here.

@Sotiris: for Chandler maybe 6’11” flat 6’11.5 was possibly earlier in the day. For Barkley I would say 6’4.5 at a low. Likely wouldve measured 6’5 or 6’4 7/8 around combine time. As for Ayton and Mo Bamba I never considered that pic

@Rising: It’s possible that Wilder is around 6’6 maybe 6’6 1/8 depending on when the 6’6.5 was. With Carmelo he could look the same size honestly or Melo taller. I could go out on a Limb and say same size both may be 198-199 range

Khali was listed 6'11.5" and 6'11 7/8" in some sites and articles when he was a bodybuilder, and that was before he became a wrestler. A 7'1" person would not get 6'11.5" or 6'11 7/8" listings.

@Erik C: I do not always agree with Sotiris’s listings.but I can say the same for almost any poster and they can say the same for me at times or even often. However that said, I do agree with some of his. And he has also provided some very good estimates that many people criticize him for. Meaning he’s guessed a few guys consistent with how they actually look and I agree with his estimates more so than many others. The “others” are the ones who are quick to call him out or get sour when someone downgrades the celebrity which is hilarious. And These same people that criticize him are wrong themselves at least on some celebrities. But truthfully, Sotiris unjustly takes a lot of heat for his guesses because he bucks the norms on this site. Most people here simply take Rob’s listings and don’t consider that they could be slightly off especially if the person has lost height or if the measurement were earlier in the day or if it’s just a claim. And if something is off, meaning another celebrity “outs” the one who is possibly overlisted. They revert to inflating the one who is properly listed. And While Rob is truly amazing at what he does, he is human just like you or I. But Through all of it, Sotiris is a stand up guy and someone that I respect a lot and will always defend because it’s just not right how he’s treated here. Not to mention he is respectful toward others. And to me, It’s hilarious when other posters inflate every celebrity they comment on, sometimes egregiously and deliberately as fanboys yet their comments roll through uncontested and they don’t get the type of criticism he gets when his guesses are no worse than theirs.

I mean look at these pics of shaq and kobe. Prime Kobe who might be 6'6 in bball sneakers doesnt even make it to prime shaq's EYES. I seriously doubt in any of thw pics ive published there would've been a significant shaq footwear advantage that wouldve been the deciding/determining factor. Also take into account that Kobe is closer to the camera on both pics meaning if shaq was closer he'd be even taller. = shaq is a hella legit 7 footer. Even now.

@Sotiris Gravas
Alot of things you've posted and pointed out seem at least to me to be arguable, good points. And unlike some ppl, i dont really believe you're trolling whatsoever. However, that being said, i totally disagree and think its crazy to put Shaq sub-7 footer. You didnt even really elaborate to whether you think shaq is only sub-7foot now or whether referring to PRIME. Like he was never 7 foot. That's crazy. If shaq was never 7 foot sooooo many ppl listed have to be downgraded and get some of their height removed. Firstly, sane thing goes with khali being 6'10 or however low you pegged him. If khali was 6'10, shaq might not even be SIX TEN! Bc in that pc they look pretty much totally level and the same or khali might edge him out by the slighest bit or shaq might but even if shaq edged him out he still wouldn't be 1.5 inches taller at the 6'11.5 you're putting him at. And even if it was that thats way too low for him. Especially prime. Than you have to TREMENDOUSLY down grade Big show. And also super legit 7'3 Bol Bol and his son shareef. Link - Click Here link- Click Here
If you look at these pics The camera angle seems fine on both of them and excluding bol bol's extra hair in the pic and accounting that shaq is NOT in his prime and he's slouching AND shareef has extra hair, there's BARELY a difference between them. If shaq was 6'11.5 or even 7'0, then bol bol needs a huge downgrade and is like 7'0-7'0.5 range. Now, i think shareef might've been a little younger in the pic with shaq so he might've grown a tad bit. But it would only be a tad bit at best and shareefs been listed the same for a long time now. And thats assuming that the pics are from separate times and shareef grew. And even then with the advantages stacked against shaq he still comes out on top. Let alone in his prime. Then shareef needs a huge downgrade, 7'3 bol bol needs a huge downgrade. And Kobe bryant would need a HUGEE downgrade. In conclusion, shaq really cant be less then 7'0 and khali either has to be the same, the slightest bit more or less, so hes def not 6'10, let alon prime bc wrestling really punishes a persons back. And shaq very well couldve been 7'1 ft peak.

Sotiris Gravas, it's not hyperbolic. You seem to intentionally pick the photos with the worst angles or where someone is further from camera and looks smaller to prove a point.
The Shaq and Wilder photo is a good example because the full length photo shows the true height difference between the two Click Here that's a 7-8 inch height difference so if Wilder is 6ft 6 like you claim then Shaq is clearly over 7 foot which is what he was measured at.
Barry has at least 3 inches on DDP so how can both be 6ft 4?
DDP only came to Big Show's mouth at peak Click Here
How is Strowman closer to the camera with Kanter? And their footwear heelsize is similar. Strowman at 6ft 6 is your opinion. People estimating him that low are still just estimates not reality.
There is no way Undertaker is as low as 6ft 5. That's crazy talk.
Can you post a link to the actual 6ft 8 listing for Babatunde, NFL official site has him at 6ft 9
Click Here that photo you linked looks fan made

@Sotiris: I think Mo Bamba may even be 6’10.5-6’11”. A 6’11.25 combine could mean that he was 6’11-6’11.25 range and lost half inch from there. Very possible he comes down to 6’10.5. As for Kanter, I would go strong 6’9” if anything. I doubt a flat 6’9”

@Sotiris: I agree on Rodman and Phil (similar) but Jackson may be around 199 like Christian said. I don’t know about 198. Maybe too low. As for Malone, Maybe he falls in the weak 6’8 range tho 6’7.5-6’8”. But you may actually be right about him to be honest.

If anybody's interested, I posted these pics and more on Big John Studd's page...
Editor RobI think we should give Barkley near 6ft 5, the 4.5 just seems too low. On a bad day maybe he measured that.

I thought Shaq might have shrunk, but he's still easily 7'0" minimum. Here's the full pic with Wilder pic: Click Here Wilder is about 6'6.5", but even if he were 6'6" flat, Shaq still wouldn't be under 7'0" because he's around the bottom of Shaq's nose and standing slightly in front of Shaq, though has about 1 cm footwear, but he's not at all looking less than 6" taller even subtracting that. And speaking of Shaq and 6'2" guys, just imagine how short Lesnar would be without the cowboy boots or hat: Click Here

Sotiris is right Dalip Singh was never a true legit 7’1”...Sotiris, donyou recall his Pro Body Building Days in India? He turned pro in India. And at the time was known as the tallest body builder ever. It was the early to mid 1990’s. He was listed at 6’11-7/8” during his body building days. He also had a few 6’11-1/2” listings. Muscle Mag international had a great article on him in the mid 1990’s...they listed him @ 6’11-7/8”...Another publication by Weider had him listed @ 6’11-1/2”. And I think he truly lost noticeable height by 2010. Young peak Shaq had a few different barefoot measurements of him taken & listed. Most where all between 7’0-1/2” to 7’1”. Which I totally buy! I Also buy the current older, fatter 350-370 lbs Shaq only now being 6’11-1/2”.

@184guy2 Here's a bigger/better view of that pic of Khali and Shaq... Click Here
Please ignore that ridiculous height line (which I didn't place there). I notice that a lot of ppl have problems w/ depth perception. They don't realize that a guy is actually standing in FRONT of someone, and that if the person in back were to actually step forward, he would then look even taller.
Shaq is around 6'11.5" barefoot, that's all... making Khali 100% no more than 6'10" in that pic. The fact that you think Shaq looks SHORTER than him scares me, dude.

For comparison, Bamba is around the same height as DeAndre Ayton and Tyson Chandler.
Braun Strowman being 6'6" isn't my qualified opinion... it's what's known as reality.

@Xavier: if you’re talking Enis Kanter, he’s not 6’11”. He was measured at 6’9.75 I believe and that is likely a morning height. I could buy 6’9” and a fraction like 6’9.25-.5 perhaps or just 6’9.25.

He also looks a little taller than Magic Johnson , so he should be at least 6'7+ , almost impossible 6'6

Great find Supermanfan380! Looking at Satnam's instagram page, the 7'2" basketball listing might not be too far off.

Sim Bhullar and Shaq. Sim seems to be slouching a little bit more than Shaq.

Next to Kevin Durant & Dwight Powell he's easily over 7ft tall. He looks about 2 inches taller than The Great Khali. Khali was probably 7ft in his prime, but nowadays lost a bit of height. He seems to be suffering from the same disease as the famous giant Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), who was over 7ft tall in his prime, but nowadays stands around 6'10" (if he can even stand at all these days) due to his x-shaped legs.
Seeing Satnam next to Kevin Durant, Dwight Powell, Great Khali & Sim Bhullar, my guess is Satnam is ~7'1".
Olivier Richters looks about an inch taller than Satnam Singh, so his 7'2" claim might actually be close to the truth. He was always very adamant in claiming he was 7'2", yet it's those pics with Big Show that always made me doubt his claim.

There were two pics from several years ago people used to compare Paul to Olivier but Paul was positioning his body much closer to the camera, the camera angle was pointing up at them as well. Paul was tilting his head back and looking up at Olivier and Olivier was clearly looking down.

Here’s Harris in a 1986 AWA battle royal. Click Here I matched up Harris and ~6’1” Curt Henning here Click Here Harris does not look exceptionally tall in the ring here but it may be due to posture.

Just done roughly on my phone but is this a good indication that Sam was over 7 foot? No footwear visable though!

Click Here Silo Sam/Jon Harris was probably at least 7’2” range. IIRC Chris or another poster on this site mentioned some plan by WWF in the mid 1980s to have Harris (as Trapper John) tag team with Andre but it never materialized

@Sotiris. The doorway Silo Sam is standing in looks very similar to the door ways in my house as far as the trim goes. If its your standard American 6'8" door like mine, then in shoes he looks around 7'0" or 7'1". At least that's what my tape measure says when using my door frame based off of that picture. The comparison pics with Andre and the ring ropes don't seem super consistent, but it looked like Silo and Andre could have been similar in height. Of course in the end its a picture. If taken from a different angle and camera distance Silo may look comparatively taller or shorter.

Gretz, as I said it's possible. Footballers take bigger hits than wrestlers and Andre rarely left his feet. Him getting slammed was a big deal. Ben Davidson said Ladd was 6'6 in an interview so maybe that's as tall as he ever was. All I know is that when I saw him in March 2004 he was shorter than Kane and both were in dress-shoes.
184guy2, Sam worked couple of matches for WWF. I haven't seen enough of him to estimate his height within a certain range but he did look huge next to 5'10 Lance Russell and he was supposedly 7'2 legit but billed 7'4-7'8.

If I'm not wrong , Sillo Sam was also billed 7'3 . But I think he only wrestled in AWA ,not in WWF
Anyway he would be the second just behind 7'6-7'7 Gonzalez and before Silva and Khali ( 7'2 and 7'1 )

Oh thats very convenient Vegas,years of playing football and wrestling has shrunk ladd.But a 40+ year old Andre taking 20 years of bumps in the ring dosen`t count for him losing height in most of your opinions.If he was 7'0" and a fraction in 1972 isn`t it reasonable to think he might have dropped to 6'10"by 1991?In that late pic with terry Gordy he was lucky if he was 6'10".But I guess thats peak height to you,does anyone out there really think Andre didn`t lose 2+ inches of height over 20 years?

Can you provide evidence that Ladd was measured over 6'9!
Being listed at a certain height in a competitive sport does not mean you were measured that height. Morgan was listed 6'10 as a Division 1 center in college basketball Click Here
A celebs word especially a wrestlers word means very little in grand scheme of things because this industry has always been carny with the objective of working the marks (fans) to hand over their hard-earned money to watch a pre-determined 'fight'.
Re: peak height, Ladd himself wouldn't have been peak height when he wrestled Andre in the late 70s given he was around 40 and had spent probably 15 years playing football in school, college and pro prior to that.

What's funny about so many posters on this site is that we are to believe what they say about people's height but not what the actual people say about their own height.for example one might say they are 6 foot 5 and we need to believe it but if the celebrity says they're 6 5 and they're a liar. Ernie Ladd doesn't say he is a shade under 6 10 he says 6 9. Furthermore why would the article say a shade under 6 10 why wouldn't they just say 6 10 if they were going to be exaggerating his height anyway.
_____________
So we take everyone at face value then?
Dwayne Johnson claims 6'5 regularly..do you believe he is that tall?
HHH claims 6'4, do you believe he is that tall?
Rey Mysterio claims 5'4, do you believe he is that tall?
Matt Morgan claims 6'11-7 foot..do you believe he is that tall?
As for Ladd I saw him on stage at 2004 WWE HOF in March 2004. He was noticeably shorter than Kane (both in dress shoes). He wasn't someone whose height I had really done any research on before that so I expected him to be legit 6'9. Kane we had met in person previous day in the Hilton and he didn't look taller than 6'7 out of gear. Could Ladd have lost 3+ inches by that point..maybe.
This site is here for people to debate heights and compare research from videos, photos, meetings etc. The only thing we know for sure is if someone is actually measured and that measurement made public..and even then actual measurements are debated vigorously on here.

Sotiris,
Peak height - Ladd probably around 6’7” and Haku around 6’0”. Ladd’s difficult to peg though because he had really poor posture, at least in his wrestling days. Not the best quality but here’s Ladd with ~ 5’11” Bobby Heenan Click Here and ~6’3” King Kong Bundy Click Here Ladd in dress shoes looks pretty tall with ~ 5’11’ Paul Boesche Click Here but not so tall in dress shoes here Click Here or in wrestling boots Click Here
Ladd came from an all-black college so they may have listed him taller to get the attention of the NFL and AFL.
Haku may be barefoot in many WWF promos. In WCW, he wore wrestling boots and looked around 6’0” with Gene Click Here
62B, many here, including me, have looked closely at the WM 2 battle royale and there is no good point to compare Andre and Too Tall Jones. Iron Sheik was around 3 inches shorter than Nikolai Volkoff, who I saw backstage at the LA Sports Arena in 1986 and looked around 6’2”. If Sheik is sub- 5’11”, this other guy (Mr. Takahashi) is around 5’5” and Andre around 6’9” Click Here

@Sotiris 6'9 range is definitely possible for Big Show today as that photo indicates. As for Kane and Orton, that's not a great picture to judge and Orton probably has a bit of a footwear advantage as he's in wrestling boots. Kane easily has a few inches on Orton as other pictures are indicating.

Sotiris,
Peak Haku was 6’0”
Remember, most of the 1980’s he wrestled barefooted. So, any pic from that era without seeing footwear & feet, gotta give him 1” to 1.5” extra, due to lack of footwear. I think from 1986-1992 he was always barefoot in the ring & during promos.

A barefoot Big Show’s definitely taller next to Brian Blair than 6’9” Ed Too Tall Jones was back in 1986. Click Here Click Here The camera’s in front of Jones and Dan Spivey too so a disadvantage to Blair. Blair looked around Ken Patera’s and Iron Sheik’s height (~5’11”).
Too bad Jones could not have actually been in the WM 2 battle royale – would have been interesting if he and Andre had a stare down. BTW Nash was taller next to Spivey than Jones was.
_____________________________________________________
Patera was listed as 6'1" and 330lbs in the 1972 Olympics. By 1986 I see him probably around John Cena's size, a little over 6' and about 250-260lbs. Too Tall wasn't that much shorter than Andre at WrestleMania II. I watched that battle royal over and over to try and get a good idea of their height difference. If Ed Too Tall was 6'9" then I thought Andre came out in the 6'10-6'10.5" range. Which Jives with how tall I thought Andre was in 1987 when I bumped into him, which was between 6'10.5" and 6'11". I attribute the slight discrepancy to the time of day that I saw Andre vs WrestleMania being in the evening. Coincidentally I have also seen the Iron Sheik in person. I think 5'11 for him is very generous.

A barefoot Big Show’s definitely taller next to Brian Blair than 6’9” Ed Too Tall Jones was back in 1986. Click Here Click Here The camera’s in front of Jones and Dan Spivey too so a disadvantage to Blair. Blair looked around Ken Patera’s and Iron Sheik’s height (~5’11”).
Too bad Jones could not have actually been in the WM 2 battle royale – would have been interesting if he and Andre had a stare down. BTW Nash was taller next to Spivey than Jones was.

Davey at 5'9 has been a daft downgrade for years, we've had that rubbish with Danimal.

@Sotiris: that can't be true. He had to be closer to 5'11" if peak Brett Hart was close to 6'0". Check here: Click Here
Brett is closer to the camera and still looks about an inch taller.

Sotiris,
I’ve heard the samething about Davey Boy Smith. That he was actually closer to a weak 5’10” at best...but walked around looking 5’11” to 5’11.5” due to footwear shenanigans.

6'10 max?
So what are your estimates for everyone else in the photo then ie Savage, Brian Blair, Hogan and Ed Leslie?

Why don't you post a picture of Big Show with Strowman when Big Show just lost some weight and could stand in better posture---because you dare not. There are some good pictures easily google-able and Big Show was clearly 4 inches taller if not more. Big Show has bigger boots but Strowman stood on his toes in most of those pictures so I call it a tie in footwear.
Your trying so hard to downgrade Big Show by ignoring the evident was annoying and starts to disgust me.

I agree Miko ...Show is also looking 7’0” barefoot with legit 6’2” Ed Leslie...who’s actually gaining an extra 0.5” to 0.625” with those thick black flip flops.

It was taken at Gold's Gym in Venice Beach, CA. This was Austin's email:
"that pic was at golds gym in venice, ca. both companies were working in the LA area. prolly around 1997-8 i guess."
If you take Billy Gunn's height as reference (6'4") and consider equal footware & ground, here are the heights of the others imo:(circa 97/98)
Hulk Hogan : 6'4"
Stone Cold : 6'0"-6'1"
British Bull Dog : 5'11"-6'0"
Ric Flair : 5'11"
Randy Savage : 6'0"
Big Show : 6'11"-7'0"

Simply stating here is 6'6" so and so who is actually 2" taller just to support a pic that does nothing to determine height is really getting old and is someone who is obviously fishing for arguments. I will give everyone a single guess on who I am referring to.

The 6’11” guy is basically the same distance from the camera as Big Show. Click Here He’s turned sideways a bit and his back shoulder lines up with Big Show. The size of Big Show’s head and the light in the background is making the other guy look less in focus and appear farther from the camera. If Big Show had hair… Click Here

As for the 6'11" guy w/ Show, he is clearly standing in back of him. If you can't see that, you have difficulty w/ depth perception. Show's head is big, but not THAT big. He's closer to the camera.
----------------------
They're standing side by side there Sotiris Gravas. If Big Show is closer to the camera it's very minimal and will hardly result in any height advantage.
From the many pictures you've posted here it's pretty clear you have difficulty with depth perception. The majority of pics you post to prove a certain celebrity isn't as tall as listed, you often use pictures where said celebrity is standing further from the camera. Your latest pic of Conan Stevens, Mattias Hues, Alexander Nevsky & Ralf Moeller is a good example of that. None of those people standing at equal distance from the camera. So why even use it?
If Conan Stevens is 6'9", than Nathan Jones is at least 6'8.5". If you see 2 inches between them then further debating height with you is useless.

I can`t believe shows height has dropped that much,but than again he is what 46-47.but the last time i seen him with shack.He was a solid inch or so shorter,Shack has been listed as high as 7'1(ironically in his college basketball days Paul white was listed at 7'1"also.But I have also heard most basketball heights are measured with sneakers on?at any rate at least in wcw he did look like his boots put him at the 7'1" mark at least he dwarfed giant Haystacks by at least 5 inches.My best guess at his peak 7'0" or so in socks.

Sotiris, I did say Bloom was someone you shouldn't use for comparison purposes then you proceed to compare him to everyone..
Like I stated Bloom was pretty much same height as Taker (in his 30s). Assuming Taker was 6'8 range in his boots that puts Albert similar height in his wrestling footwear 2 mins 15 seconds Click Here
Here he completely dwarfs Lesnar who himself was probably 6'3 in his sneakers Click Here
So clearly something is up or Bloom was close to 6'8 in his wrestling gear and not a reliable person to compare with.
Sapp was measured 6'4.25 barefoot at NFL combine. He had 3 inches easy on Lashley who Rob met. Akebono had quite a bit of height on Sapp when they fought in 2003 if you watch back that fight so 6'6 seems too short for him at peak.
Morgan was definitely taller than 6'6 peak. NCAA are not going to overlist him by 4 inches. 6'6 Morgan would equal 6'2 range Gallows and Gallows is taller than 6'2. Morgan also wasn't 2 inches shorter than Nash 10-12 years ago, not sure where you see 2 inches in Roels photo. Both Morgan and Nash were listed 6'10 by the NCAA at division 1 level, obviously almost two decades apart. Here are a few others Click Here Click Here
That's a photo I took just over a decade ago at a tv taping in Orlando, Nash in wrestling boots, Morgan in shoes Click Here
As for Jones he was listed 6'10 in strongman in the mid 1990s and 6'9 in mma. He was noticeably taller than Magnus Samuelsson in 1995.
Ali Baba met Taker in 2014, Undertaker appeared on Fallon in 2015. If he had dropped to 6'5 by 2015 he lost 1.5 inches in a year..yeah not buying that.
As for Sheamus. I used to know one of the top wrestlers in Irish Whip wrestling when Sheamus worked there. He told me Johnny Ace (then head of recruitment for WWE) sent his people to Dublin to sign talent and the minimum requirements were 6'2 barefoot and 220lb. Only 3 guys at the time met those requirements (Sheamus, Drew McIntyre and Wade Barrett) and WWE signed them all to deals while ignoring everyone else.

@RoelC I like that pic of Matt Morgan and Nash. Looks like a 6'6" guy next to a 6'8" Nash (he's not 6'9" anymore).
Here's 6'5" Matt Bloom next to Matt Morgan... Click Here Bloom obviously has a footwear advantage here.
As for the pic of Jones and Eudy, one guy is in dress shoes, the other guy has wrestling boots on. Big difference.
Here's 6'6.5" Sid Eudy next to Kevin Nash... Click Here , Click Here
I like that Akebono pic w/ Morgan; already have it on my laptop. I guess Akebono is 6'5" there (height loss) and barefoot, as opposed to a 6'6" dude wearing wrestling boots.

As for the 6'11" guy w/ Show, he is clearly standing in back of him. If you can't see that, you have difficulty w/ depth perception. Show's head is big, but not THAT big. He's closer to the camera.
@RoelC I like that pic of Matt Morgan and Nash. Looks like a 6'6" guy next to a 6'8" Nash (he's not 6'9" anymore).
Here's 6'5" Matt Bloom next to Matt Morgan... Click Here Bloom obviously has a footwear advantage here.
As for the pic of Jones and Eudy, one guy is in dress shoes, the other guy has wrestling boots on. Big difference.
Here's 6'6.5" Sid Eudy next to Kevin Nash... Click Here , Click Here

Vegas' I'm pretty confident that Sheamus' height was never more than 6'2" when barefoot. In WWE boots, that's another story altogether. Here he is w/ 6'3" Charlie Mulgrew... Click Here
As for Matt Bloom, I don't think the dude was ever more than 6'5"... which means that Akebono lost height when this pic was taken... Click Here
Here, 6'5" Akebono w/ 6'6" Rodman... Click Here
Here's 6'6" Viscera w/ around 2" heels next to Akebono, who's around 6'5 there:
Click Here
As for pic of Akebono next to Bob Sapp, I'm not sure the man was really 6'4"... maybe he was only 6'3". Here he is w/ 6'3" Jon Jones... Click Here
Here Sapp is barefoot so Jones looks 1" taller... Click Here
Here's Jones w/ David Njoku (listed at 6'4")... Click Here
Bob Sapp looks all of 6'3" next to 6'3" Jones... Click Here
Which makes sense next to a 6'5" Akebono, who's losing height by the second: Click Here
I do think Akebono was 6'6" here next to Big Show.... Click Here So, Big Show was 6'10" then, but is now 6'9", max.
Here's 6'5" A-Train in a staredown w/ Show... Click Here
Was always the same height as 6'5" Test (not 6'6")... Click Here
A-Train and Triple H... Click Here Looks to have lost height nowadays.
How big are the heels in Blooms's fancy footwear here? Not sure...
A-Train and Akebono... Click Here

As for Undertaker, the man is around 6'5" now... no more. Here he is w/ 5'8.5" Mario Lopez:

@Vegas Yeah a lot of the time Show seems to stand relaxed so that's something to consider aswell. In fact in pictures generally people stand relaxed so they aren't always accurate indicators for judging height.

Sotiris,
Here’s my hypothesis on the 6’8” gentleman in the military. Quinton Dial was actually 6’5-3/8” barefoot (basically 6’5-1/2) ...and show is leaning a bit, slightly slumped down & losing an inch vs his Perfect posture with the 6’8” fella. That being said, I’d bet money the 6’8” fella, is only 6’8” in footwear. Making him 6’6-3/4” to 6’7” barefoot, if 6’8” in sneakers. If he’s 6’8” in his military issued boots? Then he’s only 6’6-3/8” barefoot. You get measured barefoot in the military on your entrance physical. However, No gaurantee you’ll claim that height though during idle chit chat. So, IMO..military gentleman is 6’6-1/2” barefoot & only 6’8” in footwear. And Paul was losing one inch in posture & stance with Quintin.

Photo with Dial isn't straight and Show is clearly standing with relaxed posture Click Here
Sotiris, I think you underestimate Wights headsize re: the chap claiming 6'11. Here he is standing behind Kane who has a bigger than average head himself Click Here
I wouldn't personally be using Matt Bloom to compare to anyone because something is off with him. On Smackdown tv in staredowns he looked pretty much identical height to Undertaker in 2000 and 5+ inches taller than Brock Lesnar in 2003. I met Bloom during Wrestlemania 20 weekend in 2004 on the street in midtown Manhattan and he looked 6'5 (6'6 in footwear). He just edged out my 6'4 (6'5 in shoes) friend who shook his hand etc. I kinda dismissed this meeting for a few years for a few reasons (pavement might not have been straight, it was getting dark, big crowd around him) but I saw him again out of gear in a hotel lobby in 2013 and he looked similar height to 2004 even though I was behind a velvet rope.
Undertaker the couple of times I met him he looked noticeably taller than Bloom out of gear. The last time I stood close to him was in 2009. Ali Baba estimated 6'6.5 for Taker in 2014. Is it possible after 30 years of pro wrestling he lost nothing? It is I suppose but the damage he had to have done to his knees alone must be considerable. No give in those rings and remember that's only the televised ones, WWE works couple hundred untelevised shows a year Click Here
Christian, Sheamus looked about 6'4 in footwear. His footwear was not normal though so I wouldn't be happy giving him an approximate barefoot estimate. He was wearing similar boot-type footwear to what he had on with Conan O'Brien (night he kicked the head off the mannequin) for reference.

I find it very interesting that the supposed 6'8" guy next to Show Click Here looks the same height as 6'5" Quinton Dial... Click Here
Either that guy was never 6'8" or Big Show has lost a lot of height... and very quickly...
--------------------
It's called posture. Big Show doesn't seem to be standing straight with Quinton Dial there. It's not like he was posing for a picture there.
Click Here
Picture is a bit small I'm affraid. Here I've super imposed it
Click Here
In this picture he is and Quinton only comes up to Big Show's eyelevel.
The supposed 6'8" guy is clearly a few inches above Big Show's eyelevel.

As for Gallows and Morgan, thanks for posting that. I initially wanted to say 6'4" for Gallows, but didn't wanna look like I was trying to lowball him. Maybe he is 6'4" and Morgan is really 6'7", but I still think 6'6". The reason I estimated 6'6" for Morgan is b/c Heidenreich is only 6'6" and Nathan Jones, I assume is 1" taller than him. Perhaps it's a 2" difference... I guess more rigorous due diligence is required on my part. A-Train is only 6'5" and Jones only looked to have 2 inches on him. Jones only looked a little taller than Taker-- who in turn was never taller than 6'6.5" Sid Eudy, IMHO.
----------------------
So you're estimating Matt Morgan's height, based on how two other guys matched up in a pic. Yeah that makes sense!
If Morgan is 6'6" than I guess Nash is no more than 6'7" at best.
Click Here
Morgan in his big wrestling boots next to Akebono, who is either barefoot or in slippers.
Click Here
Seeing as Akebono was measured at over 6'8" in his prime, I highly doubt he's below 6'7" in this pic.
Morgan must be wearing some real monster boots to pull this off.
Click Here
Here's your 6'7" Nathan Jones with your 6'6.5" Sid Eudy. Looks more than 0.5" difference to me.

Vegas' Dude, the 6'11" guy was not standing side-by-side. Big Show is closer to the camera, which is why his head looks double the size...
------------------------------
Big Show and that 6'11" guy are standing side by side. They are taking a picture together, why would one guy stand much further behind? Big Show's head is indeed that much bigger. Big Show is a massive acromegalic giant, while the other guy is simply a very tall, but lanky guy.
And while Big Show's head is much bigger, it's obviously not double the size. Way to exaggerate there!

Wow that a two inch height loss from peak. Rob do you think that he was really 6’11 at a low peak and has lost an inch since? This seams more plausible.
Thanks
