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".

Sotiris your pics are biased
lebron and Durant Click Here Click Here
Kevin Durant is also taller than 6.9
it is possible that Big Show is under 6.10 but your pictures are just biased too make Big Show as short as possible.

Here's another pic of Show (closer to camera) w/ only 5'8" Lenny Kravitz... Click Here
FYI, a 5'8" guy is around 1" under my chin and I'm only 6'7". Which means Show is not 6'10", LOL.

A 6'10" Big Show...? No. "No" as in no way. Sorry, fanboys.

@rawdshaq: everyone loses height. If you measure from when you wake up out of bed in the AM and do so when you come home from work or school you will definitely lose height. Rob at 5’8” loses 1/2-3/4” today and a full 3/4” during his prime as do most people here

I decided to test this height loss theory for myself. I am the exact same height the entire day.
When people look at Big Show pictures they compare eye level too much, he has a huge pointy head , he's probably a legit 6' 10" today. He could also have 7 feet as his peak.

6’5 range possible for Undertaker but it’s upper 6’5 range meaning he’s essentially a weak 6’6” at worst. Someone measuring that size would likely claim 6’6” even if it’s rounded up slightly. I don’t even rule the solid 6’6” completely out as he never stands his tallest and didn’t when he was younger and taller either. By the way he did say that he used to be 6’10 in the caption on his page. I doubt that. It’s fathomable that he measured 6’8” or close to it early in the morning and with boots he could get to something like 6’9.5 in the right pair of boots. It adds up when he said he’s only 6’9” now and then followed up with 6’8/6’9” if he still measured around 6’7” in the morning years later. He claimed his boots just like Hogan did

I want also say that when someone here says " if you downgrade Taker you have to do the same with all the others" yes its exactly like this.
Big show now is not taller than 6'9 range and we know there are 3,5 inches difference with Taker.
Triple H is not taller than 185 cm. And we know there are 4(maybe more) inches difference with Taker.
Randy orton for me is less than 6'4.
Lesnar 6'2 max. Sometimes seemed only 3 inch, 3,5 inches, shorten than Taker.
Kane, with out ridicolous boots, is not taller than taker.
And take in consideration that taker has the eye level of a 6'4 guy, that confuse people.
Btw everything seems to prove Taker is 6'5 range.

@Christian: yea my usual is 3/4” on a normal day. A hair over 6’5 out of bed and a hair over 6’4.25 later on. It only gets to 1/4” if I’ve been on my feet for maybe an extra half hour or so than usual or go to the gym

I myself @ 220-223 lbs lose 3/8” from 7am to 7pm.
7am: 5’11-1/8”
7pm: 5’10-3/4”
Most men average 1/2” drop from early morning height to late evening height. Lighter younger men typically 1/4” & older heavier men up to 3/4” ...really heavy men with back issues can lose a full 1” during a long day on their feet. I know on very heavy leg days at the gym, when I do heavy full squats...I’ve lost a full 1/2” before. Just out of curiosity once after reading about daily height loss (on this page actually) I did a 7 day week long test/case study on myself. Measuring barefoot at 7am (one hour out of bed) & then again barefoot @ 7pm (after work & gym). Everyday I was 5’11-1/8” morning & 5’10-3/4” evening. Except on heavy leg day, that particular day, I actually dropped down to 70.625” (5’10-5/8”) humans like Big Show & Andre probably lose a full inch during the day when on their feet all day or during match days. Both guys at their peaks were 7’0” to 7’0-1/4” morning & 6’11” to 6’11-1/2” evening...IMO. Looks like both of them settled to 6’10”-ish by their mid 40’s from carrying around 400-500 lbs of body weight for 15-20 years.

@Sotiris: Ben is taller than Eli and Brady. His combine measurement was actually 6’4 7/8 not 3/4. 6047 is 6’4 7/8. He would likely not be less than 6’4.5 if that’s the case. But looks similar to Cam Newton. I do agree about Lafell and Brady being 6’2 and 6’4 as well as Snoop at 6’3.5. When someone assuming it’s an accurate measurement is 6’4 7/8 they would only lose 3/8 to 1/2 if an early morning measurement. Some may be 1/4” while others 3/4 if they have a high variance

This big guy reminds me of Jackson Galaxy sometimes, who is himself a huge 6ft2 and simply towers over the average cat owner he meets! Big Show would tower over Jackson - and I would be laughing in disbelief because that would truly be a first!
In all honesty, Big doesn't look old enough to have lost two whole inches. He can have 7ft for his peak and 6ft10 for these days.

@Miller: I don’t go off of what Rob lists them and in the pic with Pique we can’t see anything. I doubt he’s taller than Pique. Kobe and Barkley have at least a full inch on harden and both are under 6’5”. Also with Trevor Ariza that is over a 3” difference. Harden got measured early morning tho so it makes sense. Every measurement since 2009 is early morning

@Rising: Harden is a morning measurement. Max 6’3.5. He’s about an inch maybe 3cm taller than Westbrook. With Ewing however I have 7-8” between he and John Starks. I have Rodman at 6’6 or 6’6.25 today. Magic at 6’7” max and Rock at 6’2” flat. I do agree that Crawford is a legit 194cm guy and KD likely measures at a low. Crawford and Kobe are very similar to the point where I would say Kobe fits his 6’4.75 for sure.

That phrase doesn't mean anything. Seth Rollins claimed he's "6'2 on a good day" but obviously he's nowhere near that. There are lots other of celebs who inflate an inch and then say "on a good day".

@Sotiris: I agree Mourning only looks 6'8.5" in that pic for some strange reason, but it doesn't look like he's tip-toeing and he looks over 6'9" recently with Bosh: Click Here And Howard has better posture in that Olympic photo. The 2007 all-star pic is about as good a pic as I've seen of the two and 6'10.25" Bosh has more than an inch on Howard since Dwight doesn't even reach his hairline. Wade is clearly below Mourning's eyes in every pic so Mourning looks comfortably over 6'8" with Wade. Rob has Rock at 6'2.5" current and struggles to even reach the very bottom of Mourning's nose despite a camera advantage(standing in front with a low angle). Mourning looks much taller with Rock than 6'7.5" Magic. I doubt Rodman is 6'6" flat. He can look 6'7" with Cena and Trump so the lowest I buy is 6'6.5". Phil Jackson still looks at least 6'7" with Kobe.
6'11" is too low for Robinson and especially Pau Gasol. Pau is minimum 7'0" and Dirk has to be around 6'11"(see below with Durant). Ewing looked as tall as Oden while Robinson is a little taller. There's no way Dwight would be 2" taller than Mourning. I'd be somewhat surprised if he was taller at all. Jamal Crawford is barely shorter than Kobe: Click Here so his 6'4.5" measurement wasn't too early and you saw how Ewing dwarfed him. Olajuwon is taller than Howard himself and Ewing is taller than Olajuwon. I agree Durant is nowhere near 6'10.75" barefoot, though. We'd have to upgrade quite a few heights to fit that.
@JT: When do you think Durant grew? He still looked at least a couple of inches shorter than Dirk in his 4th season: Click Here He didn't look taller than 6'9" with 6'4" James Harden, before his 5th season: Click Here though he now looks about 3.5" taller than Klay Thompson and 4" taller than Draymond Green, imo.

@JT: I think if he has grown it’s to not taller than Rob lists him here 6’9.5. He’s still shorter than Deandre Jordan in a pic
@Sotiris: I think Mourning if anything may be a hair over 6’8” but not as high as 6’9”. 6’8.25 or so may be ok. I know someone who has met Wade and he himself 6’2” said Wade is about 1/2” to 1” taller and he said he’s 6’2 1/2-6’3 without shoes on. That almost lines up with him saying he’s 6’4” on a good day. Likely that his actual measurement is 6’2.75 barefoot. A guy who is legitimately over 6’3” wouldn’t be directing that kind of attention to that and neither would his coach Erik spolestra or Otis Smith Orlando’s GM that have also said he’s “6’4 on a very very good day or a great day”. I don’t get as tall of an impression from Wade as I do Bradley Beal who I believe has actually grown. He was 6’3.25 when drafted (early morning) so likely just a weak 6’3” at the time. Today he looks 6’3.5 imho at a low meaning he would probably get 6’4” at the combine today
@JT: I think if he has grown it’s to not taller than Rob lists him here 6’9.5. He’s still shorter than Deandre Jordan in a pic
@Sotiris: I think Mourning if anything may be a hair over 6’8” but not as high as 6’9”. 6’8.25 or so may be ok. I know someone who has met Wade and he himself 6’2” said Wade is about 1/2” to 1” taller and he said he’s 6’2 1/2-6’3 without shoes on. That almost lines up with him saying he’s 6’4” on a good day.

Read this article re: Kevin Durant's height. It says he's been measured barefoot at a shade under 6'11 and is 7'0 in shoes.
And if that 6'8 guy with Rock is 6'8, then Durant is definitely a lot closer to 7'0 then he is 6'9.
Click Here
Click Here Durant's probably around 6'10" barefoot - he looks to have grown a little since his 6'9" measurement in his rookie year.

And I don't get the argument about Wade claiming 6'4" on a "great day". That does sound like he's saying he's just under it. It actually fits with his 6'3.75" measurement more than anything.

@Canson: That first pic is too bad of an angle. You can't accurately judge height from a photo like that. Dwight looks much taller than Bosh there and that's not the case: Click Here The second photo is the best of the 3 and it does look near 2", but Kobe is closer to the camera in the 3rd one. But my point is, why just consider the ones where it looks closer to 2" and ignore the ones where Kobe looks an inch max taller? Wouldn't it make more sense to consider both when judging the difference? Wade looks 3.5"-4" shorter than Beasley so he looks around 6'3.5" there if Beasley is 6'7.25". Here's another Olympic photo of Wade and Kobe and there's barely an difference here: Click Here
Also, Ewing never claimed 6'9.75". Mutombo joked that Ewing wasn't a real 7 footer like he and Yao were and Ewing joked back "I may be 6-9, but I'm a bad 6-9." I've seen Starks only reach Ewing's mouth at times and the lower to middle part at that so that would be more 9". Ewing clearly didn't have a mere 5" on 6'4.5" measured Jamal Crawford. Closer to 7" actually. Click Here
@JT: Actually, Mourning measured 6'9.5" in 1992: Click Here (@ 1:21 in the video) 6'9.5" and 249 pounds.

@Sotiris: sometimes the picture may make someone appear taller like with Boomer and Mourning. I think Mourning could be as low as 6’8 as high as 6’8.5. Maybe in between. I could almost buy 6’9.5 in basketball sneaks which add 1.25”. Now for Ewing he admitted to being 6’9.75 before which would likely be a low for him. Another poster here Robert Broome claimed to be his neighbor and estimated him 6’9 and change (likely 6’9.5ish) which may signal height loss. He is overweight these days. I could buy 6’9.75 at his low peak or 6’10 but since the number came out specifically 6’9.5. I look at Ewing with Starks and he’s at most 8” taller if not 7.5-8”. It’s more that some of the other players barefoot heights aren’t completely accurate.
As for Boomer, i disagree however. I think if he’s less than 6’4” it isn’t by all that much. He’s not as low as 6’3” flat. Maybe 6’3.5 or 6’3.75 but he still looks genuine 6’4” at times. See him with James Brown. Brown in person is 6’4-6’5 range. He looks about as tall or maybe a fraction shorter at worst or even taller at times

I'm far from convinced Kobe is 2" taller than Wade. Here's the same photoshoot as the photo Vegas posted: Click Here This one isn't full like the other, but the angle isn't low and it's still an inch or less. Some of that might be Kobe having looser posture, but it still looks a very long way from a 2" difference.

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.

@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.

@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: 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.

@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.

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)

@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:
Click Here (Carmelo and LeBron are very close in height.)
(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..

@Dan trojan: I can see that today. Shaq isn’t over 7’0” (some even say he’s upper 6’11 range as he called himself before) and he has at least 1.5” on Show a few years back. 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.

You know it's so typical for sotiris to ignore everything I just said about the big show but it's ok like I said I know what I saw because I saw him in person I have friends that are legitimately 6'8" 6'9" and the big show makes them look small in comparison by both height and weight and I think it's funny how you posted that picture with Braun and the big show you talk about how certain people are closer to the camera in a picture but neglect to mention how close Braun is to the camera in that picture it's so obvious also you say you believe Braun is over 6'6" but claim the undertaker to be under but if I remember correctly a few months back they were standing face to face and the undertaker looked a little bit taller you make me laugh with the stuff you say and post like you think you know everything even though more than half these wrestlers you've never met and people are supposed to believe everything you say

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.

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

I think it's funny that some of you people are claiming 6'9" I'm gonna swear on my life this that I saw big show up close at a show in 2003 and I swear it he looked over 7'0" 7'1" I'd say but of course he had boots on so I'd say take off 2 inches so 6'11" is fair I really feel he didn't lose any height he just hardly ever stands straight so people assume he did you people can argue with me all you want but I know what I saw

@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.
@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.

Kanter looks 2.25" taller than Strowman but Kanter has about 3/8" footwear disadvantage. Strowman's likely around 6'6.25"

@Xavier The pic of Rick Barry and DDP is from the past. This is the current 6'4" Rick Barry (NBA-listed 6'7") next to 6'7" Magic (who likes to tell Conan O'Brien that he's really 6'9". LOL):

Again, recent pic of 6'4" Rick Barry and Shaq... Click Here
As for Babatunde being 6'8" rather than 6'9"... NFL listings are not always gospel truth. That being said, Enes Kanter is 100% 6'9", maybe 6'9.25", and that makes Strowman around 6'6", when all is said and done... 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.
Compare that w/ King James (closer to camera) and 6'10.25" Chris Bosh, who looks GIGANTIC next to him:

@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.

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

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.

Bamba is a legit 6'11"... Kanter is 6'9"... which makes Braun Strowman (in construction boots and closer to the camera around 6'6". That's all. (Which I already proved w/ the pic of 6'8" Babatunde.)
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.

Phil Jackson looks huge next to Titus O'neil ( who I have at 6'3.25-6'3.5)
He also looks a little taller than Magic Johnson , so he should be at least 6'7+ , almost impossible 6'6
Show looks enourmous beside him but he is nearer the camera

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.
Click Here
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.

@ Guanzo...because a lot of pro wrestlers wear padded & lifted...thick soled footwear/boots while in the wrestling word (ring, promos, interviews, etc) Braun (Adam) is a legit 6’7” + man.

Please post this pic also on Braun Strowman’s page. He is legit taller than Kane (Glen) when both men are barefoot or in equal footwear. Rob needs to give Braun at least a 0.5” upgrade. He has him @ 6’6.75”....Braun needs to be at a minimum 6’7.25” or 6’7”! Please post this on Braun Strowman’s page. Regards.

Mr Show can have 6ft10 for his today's height and 7ft for his peak.

Not enough footage of Sam but he did look taller than Andre.
Here at 2 mins 20 onwards with ~5'10 Lance Russell he looks over 7 foot easy Click Here
Russell a decade later with Glen 'Kane' Jacobs who peaked about 6'7 Click Here and Russell with Hulk Hogan in the late 70s Click Here
Sam looks insanely tall in the clip, full one shows him with ~5'11 Jim Cornette Click Here

@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.

@Vegas
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?
