How tall is Big Show

Canson said on 20/Jan/20
@Roderick: I miss interacting with him too. And that post is another example of the abuse someone who estimates below Rob’s listing like he does, receives here on Celebheights. I rarely see posters here (and there are a bunch) who estimate above Rob’s listing get called out in posts about their pictures or their estimates. You have been here long enough to see some of them and It’s ridiculous because they just get ignored yet With someone like Sotiris, posters would go out of their way to bash him for no reason

Mikey97 said on 19/Jan/20
Its funny how with all this evidence of Show looking 6'7", also goes with the fan that claimed he's 6'7" in the infobox.

Maybe that special fan got access to a medical measurment of Shows. An actual 6'10" guy wouldn't look that short next to Shaq. Just no way.

@Rob You should really downgrade him to 6'9". There is no way he's 6'10", it's simply impossible.

Murtuza said on 17/Jan/20
@Deep Purple no at his peak if he stood straight he was easily over 7 feet

Taryn said on 17/Jan/20
Even in his prime he wore big boots putting an inch and a half on him and kanes lifts put 2 inches and a bit on him so if kane was 6,9 peak with 7ft show then this picture which shows them eye to eye in those lifts Kanes 6,11 and Show is 7,1 which makes perfect sense given you can see barely barely 2 inches probably half an inch less in this picture from 98 or 99

Canson said on 17/Jan/20
Dion Dawkins measured 6’3 7/8. Whether that is his afternoon height is a different question

Robbe said on 17/Jan/20
Cmon guys, this is not 2in difference. Show is closer to the camera most of the time in this video, but here they are on even distance.

Click Here

Really, you dont talk to anybody like this if your 2in taller/shorter than your opponent.

Click Here

Show is minimum 3in shorter than 6'11.5 Shag. Probably a bit more.

Deep Purple said on 16/Jan/20
@Murturuza

There is no way that he was a bit over 7'0. Maybe if he took a breath with his giant acromegalic chest.

Roderick said on 16/Jan/20
@Dan Trojan Personally, I feel like Show has good posture. Although he sometimes leans in photos which create bad illusions, his actual posture is fine.

It's possible Big Show can lose more height during the day than the average person due to his size. I believe Show is around 370 today, which is HUGE. He could wake up at 6 AM at 6'10.5", and maybe drop to 6'9" by night?

That would put his afternoon height at around 6'9.25"-6'9.5" I'd say.

The lowest I'd go for Show is 6'9". The way some people stand, and walk, and the height they measure, can be completely different. I've seen people who look like they are 5'8" measure 5'10" before. In Show's case, maybe he might surprise people and be 6'9.5", or even 6'10".

6'10" is not impossible, but I like to hover in the mid 6'9" range a bit more.

I mean, I genuinely believe he could have been 7'0".

Robbe said on 16/Jan/20
@Vegas, Show is way closer to the camera with Kane, compared to the pic i posted. Same goes with the Richter pic with Suotamo. Camera angle favours Richter heavily there. Also, Show is closer to the camera with Ricters, so it doesn,tell the truth either.

Shaq was wearing "shoes" with practically no heals, and was 2.5in taller than Show, who was wearing his 2in wrestling boots, so it,s quote clear Show is barefoot at least 3in shorter than Shaq. Probably close to 4in, like seen in the video out in the street, where Show was not wearing his boosted wrestling boots. Shaq dwarfs him totally,as we have seen.

Dan Trojan said on 16/Jan/20
Murtuza hey man i wouldn't go that far it's ok to disagree with people but calling them idiots that's not cool man be respectful about it

Murtuza said on 15/Jan/20
Yeah to all the idiots that are saying he’s 6’8 or 6’9 you need to get brain he’s not. He’s prob 6’10” flat today and in his peak he was a bit over 7’0”

Vegas' said on 15/Jan/20
Robbe there is video of Kane, Miz and Show at that NYSE bell ringing, you claim Kane is 6'6 3/4 which makes Wight more than 6'10... Click Here

Photo comparisons can be used the opposite way; Suotamo and Oliver Richters Click Here Wight with Richters Click Here

Dion Dawkins is listed 6'5 by NFL Click Here

Dan Trojan said on 15/Jan/20
Roderick i agree but i definitely think it's to do with posture someone of the big show's size would rarely stand straight

Roderick said on 14/Jan/20
@Dan Trojan I can see why people guess him at 6'8" to be honest, but I personally feel like that's too low.

Maybe he drops to 6'8.75" at night

Robbe said on 14/Jan/20
@Roderick, i found only one pic with KD and Show, are you talking bout this one?

Click Here

You can't possible say which one is taller, KD is leaning backwards. Also, it looks like the picture is heavily tilted, just look at the wall behind KD. This might be better. Suddenly KD looks way taller.

Click Here

LeBron James here with Show. LeBron is leaning on Show, and standing very relaxed, while Show is standing tall. Yet Show looks only 1.5in taller. Standing tall, Lebron would be about an inch shorter Click Here

Robbe said on 13/Jan/20
Morgan's posture is terrible in that pic. Really, a legit 6'10 guy doesn't look like this with 6'3, and 6'2.5 fellas.

Click Here

Or like this with 6'6.75 Kane, although Kane is a bit closer to the camera.

Click Here

Just to compare, Suotamo with 6'8 Marko Anttila Click Here

Roderick said on 12/Jan/20
@Robbe Actually KD and Big Show have a photo together and if one was taller it was Big Show.

Dan Trojan said on 12/Jan/20
Omg now people are saying big show is 6'8" lmfao this is why i don't comment on here anymore because of some people's absurd comments it's getting quite laughable

Vegas' said on 11/Jan/20
When someone (a much shorter man) has a bigger head than an acromegalic giant in a photo/screenshoot it should be obvious that person is much closer to the camera..

There are plenty of comparisons where Wight and another tall guy are standing next to the same person and we can see feet

Rob has Piers Morgan at 6 foot (claims 6'1 himself). Morgan is on his tip toes there but we will ignore that, Wights head is approx 12 inches long Click Here

Morgan with 6'10 1/4 barefoot measured Chris Bosh, Bosh has a small head (probably 8.5-9 inches) for his height Click Here

Martin 6'1" said on 11/Jan/20
It's funny, all the different pics and footage that show us varying answers.
Because let's just assume for a second that the Big Show is 6'9" this would then put kane down to around 6'6" max, probably less... Having said that actually, if you look at Kane with 6'5" Vince Vaughan, Kane does look about 6'6"...what is going on? Haha, everyone's getting shorter.

Robbe said on 11/Jan/20
Kevin Durant is listed as 6'9.5 and looks easily 1.5in taller than Big Show. Rock is an inch taller than HHH, once again, do the math.

Click Here

Big Show is around 6'8 today. Maybe 6'8.5 in a good day.

Roderick said on 10/Jan/20
@Robbe Show is barefoot so that tall guy light be getting a small boost there but Show still looks max 6'8" there.

Riccardo 5'7 said on 9/Jan/20
Mikey97 said on 6/Jan/20
I say 6'9" because if you look at him barefoot with Jon Jones he is only around 5.5" taller and Jones is max 6'3.5". There is no way he's 6'10" based off of that. Even with Orton and Sheamus in recent years he looks absolutely all of 6'9". The photos with him and Shaq at the ESPN awards is the cherry on top.

Man I'd say 6'8.5" but I would get chewed out so I will stick with 6'9".


I agree man

Robbe said on 9/Jan/20
This is how Big Show would look next to Joonas Suotamo. Big Show with 187cm Triple H, Joonas Suotamo with 191cm Arttu Harkki.

Click Here

Here Big Show with 191cm Hulk Hogan, and Suotamo with 191cm Arttu Harkki.

Click Here

Big Show with 187cm Triple H, and Suotamo with 188cm Sami Kuronen.

Rob lists both Suotamo and Big Show 6'10. That cant be right.

Robbe said on 9/Jan/20
This guy is nowhere near 6'10 barefoot. Just compare him to 6'10 listed Joonas Suotamo. The guy with Joonas is 6'3, same height as Jon Jones. Do the math folks Click Here

Oz said on 8/Jan/20
@Creeper

No way that Samoa is taller than 179 cm, Big Show is back for shrink his height to 6'4"

Creeper said on 8/Jan/20
On Raw still looked 6'10 next to 5'11 Someoa Joe(sorry if i spelled that wrong). Easily 11 inches between the two

Mikey97 said on 7/Jan/20
He looked amazing yesterday. It's awesome to see Show still out there putting on a show (no pun intended).

Mikey97 said on 6/Jan/20

Alex Katch said on 6/Jan/20
Paul wight was 7ft on WCW, then he billed 7ft 4in as nickname the giant.

Roderick said on 6/Jan/20
@ken6 Lol that post was 2018

@Canson Yeah, sucks because I really enjoyed interacting with that dude.

Canson said on 5/Jan/20
@Ken6’3: I haven’t seen Sotiris post for quote some time. At least a few months

SeanR said on 4/Jan/20
Hi Rob,

Do you think Nathan Jones could edge out Big Show these days, or do you think Show can still have an inch or 2 advantage?

ken6-3 said on 2/Jan/20
do you pick the pictures with the worst angles on purpose to make wrestlers seem shorter?

Sotiris Gravas said on 23/Dec/18
@Canson We both think Alonzo Mourning is around 6'8" and that Wade is around 6'3". Here they are together w/ height lines... Click Here , Click Here , Click Here Wade is slouching in all pics.

Roderick said on 30/Dec/19
Truthfully, he did look max 6'9" with Shaq at the ESPN awards back in 2016 I believe. He might be 6'9.5" but that's the most

Canson said on 29/Dec/19
6’9” looks too low. Maybe 207 range but I doubt less. Remember he has poor posture at times and guys that size after enduring the toll on their bodies will not be as tall as they once were and won’t even walk as tall as they could potentially without the same past lifestyle

Guy who is really worried about his heig said on 27/Dec/19
Even if he was 7 feet he is nowhere close to the "largest athlete" as was claims him to be . Mohammad Mortaza is over 8 feet is the world's largest athlete.

Roderick said on 27/Dec/19
Shaq IMO is still 7'0" when measuring and he is at least 2.5" taller than Big Show.

Riccardo 5'7 said on 25/Dec/19
There is a simple fact, he is shorter than Shaq and not by an inch.
Shaq is probably 6'11.5 barefoot.
Big show looks to me 6'9" range today, barefoot. Probably 6'9.5.
6'11 peak.

Mikey97 said on 22/Dec/19
Big Show is MAX 6'9" now

Roderick said on 21/Dec/19
@edwards I'd say he usually looks 6'7" give or take half an inch. So that's a good guess too.

edwards said on 20/Dec/19
@ roderick

agreed ike is likely 6'7 but max 6'7.5

edwards said on 20/Dec/19
@ creeper

ike catcher is nowhere near his listed height.it is exaggerated by google tho.he is 6'7-6'8 in real life tho imho.

Roderick said on 19/Dec/19
@Creeper Ike is 6'6.5"-6'7", not 6'9".

James B 172c, said on 19/Dec/19
Rob is a peak of 6’11.5 still a possibility?

Creeper said on 17/Dec/19
Big Show is over 6'9. He met Ike Catcher who says he is 6'9 and Big Show looked much taller. Big Show is at least 6'10

Roderick said on 16/Dec/19
What if Big Show loses more height during the day than the average human and actually still measures 6'10" in the afternoon?

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 14/Dec/19
@Roderick
I think a 1.5"-2" loss is the most realistic. 6'11.5" peak and 6'9.5"-6'10" today IMO.

Roderick said on 12/Dec/19
Maybe Big Show's excess weight really did take off a good chunk of height at such a young age.

I'd say he did hit 7'0" and now he's 6'9". 3 inches, wow.

Pierre said on 11/Dec/19
Big Show and Shaquille O'Neal(7"0.25') Big Show this time without wrestling boots then probably around the same heel = Click Here

Public Enemy said on 9/Dec/19
Almost a 5cm loss from peak!

Roderick said on 8/Dec/19
What if Big Show was 6'11" peak and dropped to 6'10" today. That's not my estimate but just thoughts?

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 7/Dec/19
@Viper
Roderick meant that Big Show's 6'9" today, not when he played basketball in his younger days.

Mikey97 said on 7/Dec/19
Big Show was probably 6'11" range at peak and is now MAAAAAYBE 6'9.5"...

Canson said on 6/Dec/19
@Viper: I’ve seen a 6’9” range guy on more than one occasion listed at 7’ so it’s not unfathomable. Hakeem Olajuwon who Mario Ellie said is closer to 6’9” and looked it with Robert Horry and Patrick Ewing who was probably more 6’9.75 but still. Then There have been 6’8 guys listed 6’11 and 6’7 guys at 6’10”.

tree said on 3/Dec/19
SeanR said on 2/Dec/19
Hi Rob, in your opinion what is more logical for Big Show:

Peak 6’11.75” or 7’0.15”?
and
Current: 6’9.75” or 6’10.25”?

Easily 7’0” range in his early days of wrestling.
Nowadays I think he can still squeak out 6’10.5”.

He once said over 7ft a bit only morning is possible for Big show so as afternoon i think he would go with rather 6ft11.75

viper said on 3/Dec/19
It's possible they could list a 6-10 guy at 7-1 but I've never seen it

viper said on 3/Dec/19
Roderick, the basketball photo proves he was near 7-0 I'd say. Not a lift wearer then.

And they wouldn't list a 6-9 range guy at 7-1

SeanR said on 2/Dec/19

I dont buy that he lost 1 inch by 36

In 2006 same situation at just 34 lol Click Here

TallFriq said on 2/Dec/19
@Chris Junior Hernandez 1990
When he met Shaq the first time he has already passed his peak.
His prime years was before 2006. In 2006 he ballooned up to over 500lbs and was never that tall again.

Roderick said on 2/Dec/19
Personally I feel like there is 3" between Show and Kane today. Kane at 6'6" and Show at 6'9"

Vegas' said on 30/Nov/19
Mikey97, there is no platform on the NYSE balcony Click Here

There is actually at least 6 inches difference in photo but that photo the street slopes upwards towards Wight it seems Click Here

I saw Show and Kane standing together in a hotel lobby out of gear circa 2009-10 and there being approx 4 inches between them so why is it not realistic? That was also the difference when they tagged in 2006 and 2011.

Regardless it's obviously more than 2.5 inches between them based on that video. A 6'9 max Wight would mean Kane is 6'5 range.

Mikey97 said on 29/Nov/19
Big Show probably measured somewhere in the 6'11" range and got listed 7'1". That's my bet.

No way in hell is he over 6'9" now

tree said on 29/Nov/19
His encounter with 214cn shaq puts him under 7ft too at just 37 Click Here

tree said on 29/Nov/19
And at age of 36 again the one having thicker Boots is Show with max 7ft1 Khali Click Here

He was for sure under 7ft tall by mid 30's not sure exactly how tall

tree said on 29/Nov/19
And i am not sure how straight Orton stood maybe his legs were bent a bit Click Here

tree said on 29/Nov/19
Rob how tall you think he looked around 37 considering his boots gave a bit more that 6ft4 Ortons,and if randys head is 25cm,Shows would be 30?From the top of shoes head till his mouth theres place for one head of orton lol Click Here

Thicker boots with 6ft2 hhh too Click Here

Peak looked taller with 6ft1 Rikishi Click Here and maybe the type of boots Rikishi is wearing give less then 1 inch?Wouldnt that make show under 7ft there Click Here

Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 29/Nov/19
@184guy2 You forgotten those thick wrestling boots on WCW days and in WWE most of the time he wear. He isn't over 6'11 if the max he got up a measurement. Go search around how a 7'0 Shaq edge out Big Show a decade ago. Big Show did not lost much height back there at most a fraction in his late 30s for wrestling injuries to be rule out. Andre the Giant get described by Big Show 7'1-7'2 in fact Andre is only 7'0 peak that shows an inflation of at least 1-1.5" from Big Show. 6'10.5-6'11 peak claim 7'0 wasn't that bad.

TheBat said on 28/Nov/19
7'0"peak, 6'9.75" now.

Mikey97 said on 28/Nov/19
Actually, now that I take a second look, Big Show only looks 4 inches taller bc he's way closer to the camera, may not be a platform

Mikey97 said on 28/Nov/19
@Vegas Big Show was def on a platform there. Big Show looks like he's 4 inches taller than Kane there, which isn't realistic.

Kane looks 6'6.5"-6'6.75" next to Miz there

In that second photo you posted, Kane actually looks taller thanks to a camera angle advantage

Vegas' said on 28/Nov/19
Or maybe he isn't as low as 6'9 these days..

Nobody who is 6'9 shoot height is going to get listed at 7'1 in college. As my research from past 5 years of tallest college basketball measured players (6'5 barefoot and over) showed:
155 players, only 2 measured as much as 2.5 inches over their college listing and one measured 2.75 inch. Nobody measuring full 3 inches over listing.

184guy2 said on 27/Nov/19
@Chris Junior

As far I know , you aren't a downgrader but a peak 6'10.5 is too low . He looked at least 6'11 in his WCW days . He could look 6'11-7' with guys like DDP ( 6'4 ) and Scott Hall ( 6'5 ) . 6'10.5 he looked in 2011-2016 . Nowdays 6'10 seems OK

Roderick said on 26/Nov/19
Are you talking about the one when he's standing in the middle of all those guys in a group shot for his college team?

I have always said Big Show had a chance of 7'0" peak height, since I first came onto here.

Rob, do you think adding that he was listed at 7'1" in college BB is a good add? Some people still aren't aware.

I just can't get my head around how he could have went from 7'0" to 6'9", at the age of, I think, 47. Maybe his excess weight on his spine for 20+ years? Could be some unheard injury? It's not natural to lose 3" at such a young age. It seems like since age 43ish he dropped to 6'9" range.

Maybe he's always been a 6'9" range guy who just stopped wearing lifts as he grew older? Idk

Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 25/Nov/19
Big Show was never over 6'10 3/4 for a morning measurement compare to a 7'0 1/4 combine Shaq.

Click Here In 2016 we can see 7'0 flat Shaq had Big Show by 2"

Click Here=_ Currently in 2019 now Shaq had Big Show by 2.25".

Click Here In 2009 a peak Big Show in this entire clip look from 1.5-2" shorter than Shaq, it's closer to 1.5" when Big Show stand straight.

Big Show peak 6'10 1/2, now 6'9 3/4. (lowest)


@Roderick I believe he is 6'9 1/2-3/4 now.

Vegas' said on 25/Nov/19
Mikey97 said on 20/Nov/19
Big Show is no way over 6'9" now

viper said on 25/Nov/19
I agree he's 6-9 today but I can buy 7-0 for his peak.

That basketball photo of him is unreal.

Roderick said on 24/Nov/19
Big Show has looked 6'6" before which bothers me. I know people are gonna freak out now but I still think he's 6'9"

Caldonio said on 22/Nov/19
6-11 peak. Now 6-9.5.

Mikey97 said on 20/Nov/19
Big Show is no way over 6'9" now. Honestly, he can seem 6'8" range as well Roderick, but he still looked 6'9" with Big Cass when he has perfect posture.

Riccardo 5'7" said on 20/Nov/19
I think that if he edges someone like Kanter he does by max 0.25, just a sensation.
He is already sub 6'10"

Chris Watson said on 19/Nov/19
Rob I think there is enough evidence to drop his height to 6’9 3/4

You dropped kane a 1/4 inch so big show should also be dropped the same since they are almost exactly 3 inches apart

Roderick said on 16/Nov/19
I thought Big Show looked max 6'8" with Jones honestly.

Mikey97 said on 12/Nov/19
Looked 5.5" taller than 6'3.5" Jon Jones while both men were barefoot. 6'9" for Show today.

Josue said on 6/Nov/19
Big Show with his favorite footwear. 6'9"-6'9.5" seems more of a case for Show.

Roderick said on 4/Nov/19
Probably 6'9.5" today

Roderick said on 1/Nov/19
It's funny how I think Shaq, Khali, and Show were all around 6'11.5" peak (Maybe Shaq was 7'0") and all got 7'1" listings in a professional sport.

I think Shaq was 7'0"

Show was 6'11.5"

Khai was 6'11 7/8"

ETLS said on 28/Oct/19
Nowadays 6'9-6'9.5

Roderick said on 24/Oct/19
@miko I met Khali too last year and had guessed minimum 7'0" as well, but he was wearing giant shoes. Truth is that he may be max 6'11" now.

miko said on 23/Oct/19
I saw Khali up close in 2012 at a house show in Nottingham. I was with my 6'8 best friend of many years (my other mate there was 5'4!!) , and as Khali walked past to the ring he towered him. He was bare minimum 7'0 at that point, and likely still close to his 7'1 peak.

Today now that he is having serious leg bowing issues, plus he's older he may be 7'0 or slightly under.

A 6'10/6'11 peak Khali is just another sign of the hilarity on this place in the last 6 months regarding taller people. That would put the likes of Batista at 6 foot tall as Khali had around 10 inches on him, and we all know Batista is 6'2.5/6'3 range.

And we can't use the 'lifts' excuse for Khali either, his footwear was the flattest of the flat. Any lifts and he would have fallen over.

jron said on 23/Oct/19
i put guess height 6'11 1/2 and peak height 7'1 1/4

Roderick said on 23/Oct/19
Regarding Khali's height, I have actually met him. Now I know that I'm an inch shorter than I thought, that would mean he's 6'10.5" rather than the 6'11.5" I had orginally guessed.

I would say max 6'11" for Khali.

He was MASSIVE.

Kane Fan said on 21/Oct/19

The pic w/ Nathan Jones and Shad Gaspard looks to be a 4.5 inch difference. If Gaspard is 6’5” that puts Jones at 6’9.5” which I don’t buy.

RP said on 30/Sep/19
@ Vegas
Dion Dawkins has a NFL Combine morning barefoot measurement of 6’3 7/8”....
Going by this site’s standards, he’d be listed likely @ 6’3 1/2” ...? Correct, Rob?

Paul the Puppeteer said on 29/Sep/19
Big Show was every bit of 7 feet in his basketball years if not in WCW. People say that it's not possible to lose 2-3 inches as you age but let's not forget Big Show is a giant human being who hovered around more or less 500 pounds from 2000-2006 and he's had multiple injuries (several herniated discs included) during his 2006 indefinite leave that according to him, "would've crippled an ordinary man". So my guess is that he is a little over 6'9 but wakes up to 6'10.

Canson said on 29/Sep/19
@Viper: I’d lean more toward 6’9.5” these days as opposed to a flat 6’9”. He may even still hit 6’10” if he stands straight. His case may be similar to Hogan or Taker in that they all have poor posture. A few years back he was still taller than Kevin Durant so he had to have been at least 6’10” back then.

Vegas' said on 29/Sep/19
Rob what is your estimate on this Catcher chap. Looking at some photos he does look ~6'7 but others he looks at least 6'8

Roderick said on 28/Sep/19
I suppose 6'9.5" is reasonable..... I do agree that especially this year he is struggling a lot to look as listed...I wouldn't be surprised if he looked the same height as Kevin Durant if they ever took a picture together.

Canson said on 28/Sep/19
@Viper: 6’11 range peak 6’9.5 or 6’10 today would be the lowest I’d give him

viper said on 27/Sep/19
Yeah I think Big Show could be just 6-11 peak as well.

Even so, how has he shrunk 2-3 inches?

Sotiris Gravas said on 26/Sep/19
@Josue

Great pic! Ike's max 6'7" (looking under it w/ others). Also, it looks like Show is tippy-toeing it there based on the shadows under his feet.

He looks crazy tall in that basketball photo. 7-0 is believable.

Now he only looks 6-9

I think he had a different body type in his 20s, probably because of that.
To be honest I really don't know how much height he lost. I believe 1.5 inches at most? If he ever looked 7 foot or over it, it was only because of footwear and WWE "inceptions" received during the years( with McMahon instead of Di Caprio). Personally I think 6'11" peak, something below but not above. Same for André

miko said on 24/Sep/19
Big Show, Strowman, Kane... none of them have ever wrestled in lifts. It would be pure stupidity and asking for a broken ankle.

Now they have wrestled in boots with thick soles, but that offers more stability for the foot. Remember the average wrestling boot is just over 1 inch thick, even if Show/Kane were in 2 inch boots, it only offers maybe 0.75 advantage over any other wrestler.

The talk of them being in 3 or 4 inch footwear is madness. That is woman heel height.

@Riccardo I think 6'11" flat for his peak is too low. He looked a solid 7'0" in WCW and in his early WWF days. I don't think he was even a nanometer over 7'0", but he couldn't have been much less. Maybe 6'11.75" peak but that's the lowest I'd go.

No I haven't proves of it, but for me this guy is no more than 6'6.25. And every time he has Kane or Show next to him he always looks equal with Kane who wears big boots or enough close to Big Show like in that staredown.
Both Show and Kane had footwear advantage apparently on him, in this case Big Show Click Here
So I think that when he works for wwe he could wears lifts, maybe I'm wrong.

Roderick said on 15/Sep/19
6'9.5" is more of a minimum than a max for me. He could still be 6'10" with good posture.

Henry said on 15/Sep/19
Rob, it's time to upgrade Paul's peak height. He looks a solid 4.5" taller than Kevin Nash.Paul even has a wider stance.

rawdshaq said on 10/Sep/19
I can't see Big Show shrinking a full 3" at 47. He doesn't even look old and he's in good shape right now, and I don't remember any major injuries he's had.

He honestly did look 7'0" in WCW and hell, he looks 6'9" range at times today, I completely agree. But there is no way he's lost a full 3". It's rather we are underestimating his current or overestimating his peak. It could be both. Maybe he was 6'10.5" peak and shrunk to 6'9.75" today? I don't know honestly

Roderick said on 8/Sep/19
@cmillzz Height-loss is scary, man. I'm not ruling out 6'9.5" for Big Show, but I doubt he's as low as 6'9"

Wow, never heard a 6'10" guy getting guessed as 7'4". I guess people see you as being taller than you are if you're super tall, and shorter if you're super short. That explains why many people think Kevin Hart's under 5'0". I've also seen 5'2" women guessed at 5'0" plenty of times.

Can't see Show under 6'11.5" peak. He had at least 2" on Nash back in WcW.

rawdshaq said on 26/Aug/19
Wow @Vegas that would make Brodus's 6'9" billing insane. It was lowered to 6'7" but that's still absurd. I've always wondered what the billing process is like.

I think for shorter guys, they just add 1-2 inches, sometimes just round up to the nearest inch. FYI, by "shorter guys", I mean guys who aren't like in that sub-7 foot range, Lol.

For tall guys, it's probably a bit different. Most 6'5"-6'6" guys get a boost to 6'8", 6'7" and up will get 7'0". It's honestly ridiculous, inflation is pointless in 2019. I understand back in the day if you seen a poster for Andre being a 7'4" 450lb giant, it would make you wanna go see Andre, but we live a new area where talent is way different and not a lot of people care about wrestler size anymore. Most of them aren't even small anyway, why not just give them their real height. It's more professional to start. Most people other than us height-obsessed nerds don't even check billed heights anyway. Inflation is 100% pointless.

Canson said on 25/Aug/19
@Roderick and Christian: my guess is prob 6’11-6’11.5 peak

Roderick said on 24/Aug/19
@Dan Trojan It's all good. 6'11.5"-7'0" is my estimation for Big Shows peak. My friend actually is legitimately 6'10" afternoon height and he gets insane guesses like 7'4" sometimes! Most of the time it's 7'1"-7'2", but he's just 6'10". I'm 5'11" and lots of people say 6'1" for me. It's crazy. I wish I could tell them, "yeah, 6'1"" but most of the time I will just say 5'11", or if it's a girl I like, I'll say 6 feet.

Vegas' said on 24/Aug/19
I met Brodus Clay out of gear in 2013. I was behind a velvet rope but it was inside hotel lobby and he was only a foot or two away from me. He didn't look taller than 6'3 at approx 5pm.

Maybe it was bad posture or something but nevertheless he wasn't in same ball park height wise to Big Show (2001-10) in person

Mo Obeidallah said on 24/Aug/19
Whats your guesstimate on Big Show's weight during 2002-2003?

Canson said on 23/Aug/19
@Dan Trojan: well guessing a 6’10” guy at 6’11” from a 5’6” guy’s vantage point is not that bad. That’s essentially a foot and a half difference between the two of you

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 23/Aug/19
@Riccardo
I'm not sure if he was as low as 6'11" peak, but 7'0" was too high for him IMO too.

Creeper said on 23/Aug/19
Actually Big Show was listed at 7'1 in college so that makes his peak height just over 7'0 probably.

I wonder if he still stands straight if he still measures 7'0.

Some people dont literally shrink and measure lower but instead get worse posture over time but technically remain the same height. Also Big Show isnt even that old, hes 47. 47 year olds dont shrink 2 inches

Riccardo 5'7" said on 22/Aug/19
Sotiris@

In the Brodus Clay - Fan- Big Show comparison i see Show 2.5 taller than Brodus Clay.
Brodus Clay looks to me 6'6. 5/6'6" with that 6'9.5 guy.

You got a good point.
I don't mean that guys like Dan Trojan can't guess heights of tall people, but it's hard. At least if you don't know already someone in that range to make a comparison with.
1 foot is about 30 cm right? Well I could guess someone 1 foot taller then me even if he actually is 26-27-28 cm taller. I'm a bad heights judger? Probably, but i think it's easy mistake 2 cm or 3.

Dan Trojan said on 20/Aug/19
Roderick Maybe i came on a little harsh with what i said so i'll come at it a little calmer honestly you would be surprised how good i am at guessing heights usually when i do i'm not off by more than an inch and yes sometimes i get heights mixed up like 6'4" and 6'5" or 6'7" and 6'8" hell i have a co worker which i guessed at 6'11" and he told me he was 6'10" so yeah i may not be 100% accurate but for a 5'6" guy being off by an inch is pretty good maybe i was wrong and big show was 6'10" and maybe hr is 6'9" now i mean i doubt it but i could've been wrong didn't mean to be a dick about it i respect your opinion just like everyone else on here

Dan Trojan said on 20/Aug/19
Roderick say what you will i have 6'7" friends and big show made them look small you think my height has anything to do with not accurately guessing people's heights whatever think what you want i know what i saw and like i said it was 2003 obviously he's lost height since then

SeanR said on 19/Aug/19
419 voters here have Big Show peak at nearly 7’0.25”, interesting...
I’m gonna say peak easily 7’0”, current 6’10.5” as his height is better after the weight loss.

Roderick said on 18/Aug/19
@Dan Trojan If you're 5'6".... then dude there is no way you could accurately guess a guy like Big Shows height. Especially at a house show.

I'm honestly really starting to question Big Show's height. Maybe Sotiris is right and he is 6'9" max. Not the 6'10.25" I orginally guessed.

Lanky said on 18/Aug/19
I’ve just been looking back at some photos of Big Show in the late 90s/very early 2000s and he was a true freak of nature. Not only was he a legit ~7ft tall, but even more impressively he actually had an extremely muscular build, despite being as immensely heavy as he was.

I wonder how that ‘peak’ Big show would compare to someone like Thor Bjornsson. Not just in terms of height, because we all know who would win there - I mean more in terms of how imposing their overall build is.

Big Show was a really, really scary dude.

Canson said on 16/Aug/19
@Dan Trojan: likely because guys that height and weight have worse posture than average. I know a couple of guys one is probably 6’2.5 maybe 6’2.25 and walks around looking 6’1” tops the other 6’4” walks around at 6’2 or 6’3 because both have long torsos with short legs and are heavy

Roderick

In that video he looks more then 6'7", wich i don't think was ever his real height.
I believe he is just 6'9", 6'10.5 is possible for his peak.
And this is about his real life.

WWE is fake, on every single point of view. But he is taller then 6'7",obviously

Canson said on 14/Aug/19

@Sotiris
David Robinson's around 6'11"-6'11.5". I know this because my 6'2.25" friend met him and took a pic with him and he looked 9 inches taller. That was back in 2015 I believe.

Roderick said on 13/Aug/19
@Dan Trojan I'm not saying Big Show measures 6'6", all I'm saying is that he can certainly look it at times. Tell me he looks taller than 6'7" next to Jon Jones. You can't, because he doesn't.

6'11 peak and 6.11.5/7' in wrestling boots. Today probably 6'10.5 and 6.11 in boots. These people on here saying 6'7 is crazy. Would make strowman, taker and kane ect 6'3/6'4. Don't think so lmfao

Roderick said on 12/Aug/19
What is kinda blowing my mind is that someone at the top of the infobox here claimed that Big Show was 6'7" and 325 pounds. Seems ridiculous, Lol, but is it really so ridiculous? Why don't we take a look?

Click Here

That is the only piece of evidence I could find that 100% supports that claim. Big Show is barefoot with 6'3" Jon Jones and 6'1.5" Mark Henry. No funny footwear business is going on there, no weird camera angles, and no "bad posture" garbage. He is standing straight and looks 6'7" max.

Is it possible that maybe this claimer got access to some sort of medical file from Big Show or knew somebody who knew his height & weight?

I am just making observations. No kayfabe, no fangirling, no nothing.

So.... can anybody explain to me why Big Show looks so short there? He is easily able to pull off looking 6'10" in the ring, which is weird to me. That's from my original estimate.

Dan Trojan said on 12/Aug/19
So don't waste your time telling me to go by pictures because i'm going by personal experience

Dan Trojan said on 12/Aug/19
Roderick your comments just keep getting more ridiculous by the day 6'6" for the big show lmfao you're living in a fantasy world btw i've seen the big show up close he was over 7'0" with boots on i'm 100% sure of that barefoot i'd say 6'11" of course that was in 2003 he's definitely lost height since then i'd say 6'10" today possibly a little under

Sotiris Gravas said on 12/Aug/19
@Roderick Show definitely looks "short" w/ a small guy like 5'8" Kravitz, especially in pics taken up close w/ an upward angle. I was actually shocked the first time I saw that pic that I posted again(?) on 10/Aug/19, where he does look max 6'6". Kravitz could have been on his tippy toes there, or wearing lifts (Vliet could have been wearing lifts, as well). In the 11/Aug/19 pic I posted, he looks taller. If Show was really 6'10", even w/ bad angles, he would NEVER look like a 6'6" man. That said, Show has a big head, so his real height is at least 6'9".

@Canson I could buy 6'9.5" for Show, but not 6'10". I really do think his excess weight has compressed his spine. That said, he did lose weight, he said he was down to 396 lbs in that interview w/ Chris Van Vliet (not sure if that still holds true).

Not 100% sure if Randy Johnson was legit 6'10", but he looked it to me.

That said, here he was w/ 6'5" Mark McWire (1998)... Click Here

Seen here w/ supposed 6'8" Gene Conley... Click Here

He might be shorter now, turning 56 later this year.

Canson said on 12/Aug/19
@Roderick: I’d go ahead and respond. It’s a free forum. Yes that is a possibility but at the same time I don’t see the people who would say Show is 6’10.5 or 6’11” today despite Rob’s 6’10” listing, getting called out just like you don’t see anyone that lists Taker 6’8” peak or 6’7” today or Hogan 6’4 or 6’5 today and 6’7 peak being called out.

@Sotiris Dude, I would like to comment how short I think Big Show looks there, but I already know how many fangirls would attack me and call me a troll, Lol.

Simply put: He doesn't look anywhere close to any height anybody has ever given for him on this forum.

Orginally, my IN-RING current estimate was 6'10.25", but out of the ring, he looks super short.

IMO in those two pics with the 5'8"'ers, he looks 6'5"-6'6". I don't care if people think I am trolling or not. That's what I see right there. A 6'6" Big Show. Not more. Go ahead and tell me he looks taller than that next to Chris.

Canson said on 11/Aug/19
@Sotiris: I’ve always wondered about Randy Johnson. Is he really 6’10”? He’s listed at that but is he?

Canson said on 11/Aug/19
@Sotiris: he’s already downgraded Show from 7’0” to 6’10”. I personally feel Show wasn’t a full 7’0” peak but 6’11” range. Today, I feel that his situation is much like the Undertaker. Could be as low as 6’9.5 or as high as 6’10”

Canson said on 10/Aug/19
@Sotiris: and if you see Harden (2009 draft) with Westbrook (2008) you can tell it’s around a 3cm difference which proves what I’ve been saying all along. 2009 was held early morning and 2008 in the afternoon. It says in the article below which has been posted again for the umpteenth time, that the UNC players measured 1/2” some even 3/4” less than they did in 2008. My guess is 3/4 maybe possible but it could just be 5/8” since they don’t use 1/8” increments or maybe Danny Green grew a fraction. A 6’2.25 Westbrook makes Harden about 6’3.5. And Russ is not any taller than that based on how he stands with Caron Butler and Carmelo Anthony both of whom I’ve met. Melo has a clear 4” on him. Butler is 6’5” and Melo 6’6 or maybe the full 6’6.25 he measured at best. Basketball and football combines begin in the 6am hour now a days and have in football since at least 2006 if not before that and Basketball for sure since 2009. It even makes mention to the height variance in the article

Some players measured as much as 1/2” taller at the combine than they did at the Senior Bowl that year

I need to find the link of the Senior Bowl but it’s posted here on the site somewhere

Click Here

Canson said on 9/Aug/19
@JT: I did look at it and even watched parts of the NBA combine last year and this year on TV. It’s actually because the players are measured by position. So Tuesday morning would’ve been one position, Wednesday morning another, them they wrapped up the last position on Thursday morning. Even if they had begun in the afternoon the day before (which they didn’t because the games were in the afternoon), like Christian said, the players all know that laying down prior to a measurement will make them taller and the goal is to get in the best possible draft position so being taller is better. I know if money were on the line for me and I were a forward like I was when I played (although I played guard as well) I would’ve tried to be 6’5 when they measured me versus the 6’4 and a hair. It says in the article below that I posted of 2008 and 2009 that it’s been proven. And when they went to a morning measurement for that specific reason, that the spine compressed over the course of the day, they would not go back to an afternoon measurment when they know that it’s not going to benefit the players and their is no reason to do so. And the NFL heights are also early in the morning. That’s why they look the same as the NBA. And “we” aren’t fairly certain of them. Maybe you are, but most of the other posters are aware that they are in the early morning too.
If you see when Kyler Murray was measured and others they are always early morning as the measurements were made public around 9 or 10 am that morning. They didn’t start in the afternoon the day before they were all held in the morning each day. look at the links below. It clearly says that 2008 vs 2009 the afternoon measurements for Danny Green Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington were all 1/2” and one 3/4” lower than their 2009 measurements. It also says going back even further in the NFL to 2006 that Rise and Shine was at 6am and the players went to the RCA dome for drug tests then took physicals which included measurements. It says Vincent Jackson was measured 6’4.75 but at the senior bowl he was 6’4 3/8. Nick Mangold was 6’3 5/8 but at the senior 6’3 1/4 and there were many others. The Senior Bowl used to measure in the afternoon but now it’s also in the early morning. That’s exactly how I would measure after an hour out of bed. I would be between 1/3-3/8” shorter than I am when I wake up. I would go down around 3/4” to 2cm from a whisker over 6’5” to about 6’4 1/4 in the afternoon

JT said on 9/Aug/19
Canson, if you look at the 2018 draft, the measurements finished up on a Thursday morning, which means the measurements probably started the previous afternoon. Maybe it takes longer than we realized to conduct all of the measurements, so ones that start in the morning may not finish up until later in the day depending on the number of players at the combine. Measurements for the 2014 draft were reportedly conducted in the afternoon. For the 2019 draft, one article said Bol Bol measured 70.75” w/o shoes “earlier” that day and Tacko Fall measured 7’5.25” w/o shoes that “afternoon.”
If you ever see an NBA player next to others whose heights we are fairly certain of, including NFL players, the NBA players rarely look shorter than what they were measured at during the combine. Click Here

As an honest poster, and not someone who goes by kayfabe or whatever you wanna call it, I do see Big Show being the full 7'0" peak and still around 6'10.25" or just 6'10" flat today.

In a staredown, Big Show standing straight and tall with an unhinged neck never fails to look at least 6'10". Therefore, I believe when propped up against the wall for a measurement, he is still min 6'10". I don't even rule out 6'10.25"-6'10.5" but I don't think he is 6'11". That we can probably rule out.

@Sotiris How tall do you think the Rock and Batista were at their peaks?

Canson said on 7/Aug/19
@Christian: not to mention it says it right there in the article that I posted that science has proven that people are taller in the AM than the PM. I know if that’s me and I’m doing drills and measurements for millions of dollars at stake, I would do what I can to measure taller. Not to mention, people aren’t going to work out prior to the combine. They do drills and also scrimmage there again for draft status. I respect JT and he’s right that there are no rules but that last part about the possibility of workouts at 5am or before combine is weak. First of all they wake up at the time that is set for them to be there and that would exhaust them if they did that which would negatively impact their potential status. Not to mention the part about availability to measure throughout the day. They measure in groups in football but they’re every day of the week early morning. Theyre around the same time for all players during the combine. They’ve begun doing that in basketball now too whereas a couple years ago it was everyone regardless of position measured the same morning.

Canson said on 7/Aug/19
@Christian: the comment is one thing but his logic in saying that Conan is taller than “6’4 listed guys” is even dumber. I’ve already proven that Hoff and Neeson are both clearly taller and he knows that they are and Selleck is under 6’4 at his peak (Selleck admitted to only being 6’3.5) is taller in the video and Lithgow looked taller. Conan thought Selleck was 6’4-6’5 so he knew he was taller because Conan has never claimed but 6’4/6’4.5 (shoe height). That is the only comment that the poster has ever made so he’s likely a troll. But I bet if I had said Conan was 6’4 or 6’5 then I wouldve never received the comment

@JT
There are no rules stating that players aren't allowed to engage in physical activity prior to measuring, but most players are smart enough to not do it since they wanna measure as tall as possible. Some players even stretch and lay down to preserve height.

Canson said on 6/Aug/19
Didn’t mean to say arm strength. They do strength drills

Canson said on 6/Aug/19
@JT: something else to remember is that they are all on a set timeline as far as waking up and the fact that they test things like wingspan and other measurables involving strength. They wouldn’t work out before they hit the combine.

Canson said on 6/Aug/19
@JT: I posted the link that said in 2009 that NBA pre drafts were held early morning. There is no link that says anything about them working out. Since 2009 it’s likely that they’ve all been held early morning. I can’t verify if it happened before but since 09 it’s almost a guarantee because the NFL is also held early morning as we have seen. It specifically says early morning and we saw the Blake Griffin video where he went straight from the room out of bed to the gym. No shower nothing.

Canson, post the link that says every NBA pre-draft measurement is conducted early morning or even morning (and that the players are not allowed to engage in any physical activity prior thereto that could reduce their height).

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 5/Aug/19
@Canson
I saw his comment, and yeah, it's ridiculous. What he accused you of doing is false, because you don't always "downgrade" heights. Some of your estimates agree with Rob's, and a few of them are even higher than his.

Canson said on 5/Aug/19
@Roderick: his estimates aren’t all that bad. Theyre only “bad” to others because they are lower than what Rob lists them. Some of his estimates are actually spot on.

Canson said on 5/Aug/19
@Sotiris: don’t stop posting just because some people don’t agree with you.

Canson said on 5/Aug/19
@Christian: what’s funny is you see some posters here who always add like one who insists Carmelo is 200 cm and Lebron 203 and inflated every soccer player. Yet you don’t see or hear “Rob you should ban him” or that’s “insulting to Rob”. Sometimes it’s directed right toward Rob telling him that he’s wrong or that they disagree but either way when it’s not it’s still them disagreeing. I don’t see why or how what Sotiris said is any more “insulting” or however you wanna put it. It’s an opinion but because it’s an assumption that the person is shorter than Rob lists them. And to add, Rob has stated before to assume that each listing is around 5 hours out of bed. When we know athletes measure in the early morning then they’re not. Rob has even said this before. So by site standards Sotiris is not as wrong as people insist he is

Canson said on 5/Aug/19
@Sotiris: Klay i would say that’s the minimum. He could be like 6’5 3/8 imho as he looks maybe a CM taller than Draymond at times. I think Draymond is 6’5” flat. Klay at 6’5 3/8 means he may have been the solid 6’5.75 when he measured early morning whereas Draymond may have been rounded up or lose more height. That looks closer to 4.5” on Renaldo but Klay doesn’t look as tall as Shaun Livingston who is close to an inch maybe around 2cm or so taller. I can buy Livingston’s 6’6.25 or worst case 6’6” flat. I agree for Love and Durant both stronger 6’7 and 6’9” guys

Sotiris Gravas said on 5/Aug/19
@Canson Sorry, Mychal Thompson would have been 59 in 2014.


@Christian I fancy myself the persecuted Galileo of CelebHeights (as opposed to Copernicus) lol. (Most ppl don't like to be told they're wrong.) Given that I post here very often, it's not surprising that ppl who don't think highly of me or my estimates will give voice to their towering rage, spurred on by their own hubris. If I'm not mistaken, you took a sabbatical from this site... Some well-earned rest, I trust. Good to have you back.

@Christian: the funny part is that anytime and I mean anytime a celeb is guessed or implied to be lower than Rob lists them you are downgrading. Go look at this idiot who called me a downgrader on Conan’s page and said “Conan edges legit 6’4” guys out when we know he is shorter than all the ones who have been on his show. Sometimes people say dumb sh*t and don’t even think twice about it. That’s called fanboys. But I stick to what I said because one of the ones who called Sotiris out in particular only makes those snide comments toward people when the estimates are below Rob’s. He’s also upgraded a few celebs on his own to make math work. You can go and look at any page and tell that it’s always a comment about someone being rude or taking a shot at Rob when the estimate is lower but nothing when it’s higher than his listing.

Sotiris estimates aren't even that bad..... they are actually pretty accurate from what I've seen.

Honestly yeah at first it sounds silly to say Big Show is 6'9" or Great Khali is 6'10", but once you look into it you can see where he's coming from with actual evidence.

His estimates are better than most users IMO

6'6.75" peak for Undertaker is more realistic than 6'8" peak for Undertaker

6'5.5" today for Kane is closer to reality than 6'7" today for Kane

Just a few example of how Sotiriss estimates aren't even bad...

Do I agree with most of them? No. Do I respect ALL of them? Yes.

He actually changed my mind on Khali, I used to think Khali was 7'1" peak, but now I think he was 7'0" max peak. I have met Khali and thought he looked at least 7'0" but he was wearing massive shoes. Today Khali might only be 6'11".

Canson said on 4/Aug/19
Here is Durant with LaMarcus Aldridge who was afternoon measured 6’10” (2007) and still is 6’10” range along with Andre Drummond (morning measured) 6’9.75 and admitted he’s 6’9/6’10” himself. Durant doesn’t look anything more than (if even) as tall as Rob lists him here on this site. People exaggerate his height because that’s what he would be listed if he followed the norm of a shoe measurement.

Never seen anyone on CH that constantly gets so much criticism as Sotiris gets. Even Viper once low key called Sotiris out, and Viper is also in the same boat as Sotiris in that he often gets bashed for being a "downgrader". To be fair though, Viper's comment toward Sotiris wasn't nearly as bad as the others.

Canson said on 4/Aug/19
@Roderick: just watch. Rob obviously encourages different opinions but get used to seeing those types of comments from other posters if you estimate “below” Rob’s listings. If you consistently inflated you won’t have an issue though. People don’t like Sotiris is what it is. Christian and I have seen those comments before too but only when it’s below what Rob estimates never when we agree with the listing or estimate slightly above as we do on occasion. You may get comments but they aren’t snide and critical in nature nor do they reflect the same tone

Canson said on 4/Aug/19
@Christian: this has also happened to me before. The “name dropping” of Rob when I give my own opinion especially if it’s less than Rob lists them. I love how people think giving someone the guilt trip using Rob as leverage is going to make them cave. I’m not going to mention who because that poster also commented on this page tried to tell me I took a shot at Rob in essence because I estimated them lower than he did. I don’t get it. I bet the same posters here wouldn’t be saying that if Sotiris had guessed him higher than Rob lists him here. I don’t agree with all of Sotiris’s listings of course and I’ve been vocal about it but I respect him. He at least has logic behind why he doesn’t

Canson said on 4/Aug/19
@JT: I don’t know if Webber has met Durant standing up. Maybe sitting when he interviewed him. If you read the article closely it said Webber feels he “would” be 3” taller than him. He didn’t say he was definitively. And Webber is 6’9.5 in shoes not barefoot. Mo Cheeks even said when he played for the 76ers that he was 6’8/6’9 which means that he’s probably a weak 6’9”. I don’t care what the measurement said because it may have been rounded up or not been later in the day. Notice how short he was with Rasheed Wallace who is 6’9.75 or Kevin Garnett. And lastly, I just proved that the NBA pre drafts were all early morning so what you are telling Sotiris is incorrect. He is right and you are wrong here. You all keep saying the pre draft measurements this and that. They don’t measure at different times of the day. It said all players in the article I posted. If you watched the Blake Griffin video it’s clear that they didn’t work out prior to the combine so I don’t even know why that would be a factor. Those guys have to do drills and play pickup and they wake up knowing all of that so them working out at 5am should not even be a consideration here because they didn’t.

As for Webber saying Durant was 7 feet tall, the context was that he was obviously joking, not implying that Durant is 6'10", when he obviously isn't, as seen next to a weak 6'10" like Anthony Davis.

Draymond Green and Klay Thompson are 100% not their morning measurement of 6'5.75". You can take that to the bank. There are plenty of folks who insist Durant grew to 6'11", which is absurd. Here's Durant w/ 7'0" Joel Embiid... Click Here , Click Here

Kevin Durant is obviously 6'9.25". If you want to believe he's taller, go right ahead. As for me winning the debate, w/ all due respect, it was over before it started.

@Sotiris: I disagree. 6’9” is too low for him. He just like Taker and Hogan, has really bad posture. He may not be able to stand straight for long stretches which is common for the extremely tall guys like him. Not saying he didn’t lose height from his prime but I think he’s still at least a weak 6’10” 6’9.5 minimum and has a good chance at 6’10” even today If he is able to stand tall today.

@Phillip Mcmullin
That's just absurd. Rob would be a tyrant if he did something like that. I'm sure that you've disagreed with some of Rob's listings before, does that mean he should ban you too?

Pierre said on 3/Aug/19
@Danimal comment on 01/August =It's seems to me not logical to lose height systematically by hip surgery/replacement . Example = if a guy has only the right hip surgery/replacement,why specialists would made his right leg shorter than the left leg ?Not Logical imo.Big Show to me never had particularly long legs for his height Click Here Click Here .However i think he had relatively young some problems in his legs due to his big weight and hard practice of catch that explain his wraps/bandages in his 40 = Click Here and then (supposition)he started young to lose a little bit height

JT said on 3/Aug/19
Sotiris, with all due respect, you’re never going to win a height debate when you keep posting less than full body shots to make your point. Here, I can “prove” Calvin Lane is no taller than Shaq since they look similar next to Magic when we know Lane is significantly taller Click Here Of course we don’t know anyone’s footwear, including Lane’s, whether Lane is on his tip toes with Shaq, whether the floor is level, etc.

I can argue Anthony Davis is only around 6’6”-6'7" with Alvin Gentry Click Here when it’s evident from full body pics he’s really 6’10” plus Click Here With the number of pics out there, there’s no reason not to post full body shots so we can see the footwear, the stances, whether the ground is level, whether the camera is tilted, etc. unless the poster has an agenda...

Even full body shots can be misleading at first glance. Click Here Gheorghe Muresan looks shorter next to Shawn Bradley than Yao Ming does next to Bradley in your pic. By your logic, this "proves" Yao is taller than 7’7” Muresan, right? No, b/c this Muresan-Bradley photo has a camera tilt in favor of Bradley, the camera is on his side, and he is fully stretching out, unlike Muresean (and Yao). And as usual, your photo of Yao and Bradley is less than full-body.

Also, there’s no set time of the day for NBA combine measurements. Some guys may be measured in the morning, some later in the day. I’ll go with the combine measurement for now unless we know for sure it’s a first of the morning measurement. Then again, what if the guy who was measured early morning had been at the gym at 5:00 a.m. and had a heavy workout?

Chris Webber measured 6’9” w/o shoes (and claims to be 6’9.5”) but claims Durant is 3 inches taller than him. Click Here That’s clearly wrong but Webber’s not going to get the impression Durant is that much taller than him if Durant was only a shade over 6’9” w/o shoes like you and a few others claim.

Canson said on 2/Aug/19
@Sotiris: I admire you for standing up for yourself! A lot of this has nothing to do with the “perceived” “overblown” comment to Rob. We saw what Rob said about it. And It has to do with your estimating lower than his listings. Just look very closely at some of the stuff being said and see if the same is said to those who inflate. I guarantee that if it were the other way around, you would never hear that. Funny how guys like Willes189 when he was here did just that and inflated so did Ice and others here (who are not as rude at least) but none of them heard a thing about their disagreeing with Rob. Personally if your tone seems aggressive I could completely understand because you’re not going to let anyone push you around like that

Roderick said on 2/Aug/19
@Philip Lmao what? Are you serious? We are supposed to just look at the listing and comment "Agree!" or "You're absolutely correct!" and just move on? You are also a hypocrite, you don't even agree with most of his listings. These comments exist so we can express our opinions and debate the heights lmao. Not to just comment "I agree."

I can't believe someone actually typed out and suggested that people deserve to be banned for disagreeing with an estimate LOL

Canson said on 2/Aug/19
@Danimal: probably posture related just like Taker or Hogan. Very tall guys like that don’t always have the best posture. While 6’9” range is possible I doubt he’s 6’9 flat. 6’9.5-6’10 or a full 6’10 is possible (not sure how likely) if he stands straight. I doubt he’s less than 207cm range tho

Canson said on 2/Aug/19
@Philip McMullin: no disrespect but your comment makes no sense. If we all were yes men and agreed with Rob on his estimates, we would not even post. There would be no comments here and Rob would likely have no site whatsoever. That’s the problem, too many people here try to kiss Rob’s a$$ by agreeing or by getting on someone who doesn’t. Yet I doubt you or any of them would be saying anything if Sotiris thought Show or Hulk Hogan or any of the others were taller than Rob lists him. I’m sure you have not always estimated someone where Rob has them. I’m sure you have thought someone was taller before too. That’s really not any different from estimating them less than Rob has them (in regards to your argument) because it’s still not in agreement with rob and his estimate so i don’t see what the issue is. I guess if you feel that way, there is no point in even posting on your part because you have no value to add. You’re only even bashing Sotiris because he estimates lower than Rob does

Philip McMullin should be banned from this site just for having a name like McMullin. Kidding. Or am I?

Now, on to important matters... I already posted video footage of this, but as usual, when I post something, ppl usually prefer to ignore it and pretend it never happened, lol.

Here's a guy named Chris Van Vliet -- not a very tall guy-- as you can see next to maybe 5'7.5" Mark Wahlberg... Click Here Or next to maybe 5'7" Tom Cruise... Click Here

Now, compare him to Big Show (2018)... Click Here
Footwear... Click Here

Vliet w/ max 6'8" Kevin Nash (2011)... Click Here



Big Show is max 6'9" now.

And no, I'm not wrong. I'm never wrong. Kidding. Or am I?


@edwards No matter what, huh? Whatever makes you happy, dude.

Magic Johnson with 6’4.75 Kobe

Click Here


Magic Johnson with 6’5-6’5.25 Draymond Green

Click Here


Not much of a difference between Draymond and Kobe with Magic if Magic and Draymond both stand straight. May be hardly any difference. Not to mention Draymond has the footwear advantage on Magic of about 1/4” or 3/8”. Draymond is not 6’5 3/4” barefoot at a normal low. He’s probably not much, if at all, over 6’5”, like others around him have said

Canson said on 1/Aug/19
The difference between Doug Collins calling Pippen 6’9” is that he was inflating him just like Phil Jackson did. Pippen probably was 6’8” range in shoes so they were upping him. But no real person is going to say that another athlete that they coach is shorter than they are and actually mean it. That does not happen no matter what people here want to say. It’s pretty silly to be honest

Canson said on 1/Aug/19
@Creeper: I think 1.5” between Shaq and Show when they were in the ring. He was definitely still 6’10” until a few years ago and may still be today, who knows. If he really goes under that mark it’s just by a little. I could see anything from 6’9.5-6’10 same as I see Undertaker he could be in the 197cm range today but not less than that and not more than 6’6” flat whereas Show could be in 6’9.5-6’10 range but he isn’t less than 6’9.5 and not over 6’10” today I doubt

@Vegas: ok I understand what you are trying to say, I guess, but what you accused Sotiris of, you did, unfortunately, do on the Rock’s page. And I say this with all do respect because I do respect you as a poster but That first pic is the one you posted where Rock is standing closer to the camera than Ndamukong Suh. Everyone else on the page pointed that out but you disagreed with everyone when it is obvious. The second is one that was posted later that you had a problem with where you complained about ground level etc. you can obviously and plainly tell that the ground levels are the same here and they are at the exact same event as the pictures you posted so they would have the same footwear. They have the same clothes on and the background is the same. But the point I’m making is everyone posts photos like that from time to time. We are all guilty of it across this site. Anyone who says that they’ve never posted one like that is lying. You saying you don’t is not accurate and you saying you didnt at least on that occasion pick and choose is too because I can pull that entire thread and prove that you did. Not to mention you accused me of something you were doing on that same thread. I’m not saying you did anything with pics here but All I am saying is that you saying Sotiris does it is no better because you’ve done it before. And trust me, I’m not saying Sotiris has never done that because like I said everyone has and he probably knows that he has too. It’s just that he isn’t the only one who has and I never see people here attacking the other guys here in the past who have been downright rude. Sotiris isn’t like that to Rob at all

he still seems 6'10 to me with good posture.maybe at extreme low 6'9.75 but noy below it no matter what.

Editor Rob should start banning people who consistently disagree with his estimates on HIS site.

Philip McMullin said on 1/Aug/19
Vegas' I absolutely agree bro with that first paragraph!

Sotiris Gravas said on 1/Aug/19
@Vegas Just to recap, I called you a joke, that's hardly me being verbally abusive, as you put it, and more you being overly thin-skinned. If you want me to treat you like a child that needs to be coddled rather than an adult, I can oblige you. Also, you say I do it frequently, which I feel is you trying to put forward a false narrative which plays to your bias. Funny how Editor Rob has never chastised me for what you're alleging. I've had ppl coming at me from Day One, calling me a troll, simply b/c I refuse to inflate the height of their heroes.


You said I pick and choose pics that suit my agenda, when talking about Khali... Really? Here are pics of Khali w/ a fan that I ALREADY posted... Click Here , Click Here , Click Here , Click Here Notice that I posted ALL of the pics I could find, not pics that I cherry-pick. Fan and 5'9.5" GSP... Click Here

As for Dwyane Wade, here he is w/ max 6'6.75" LeBron James... Click Here

Wade and Hogan (2007)... Click Here Hogan is 100% not 6'3".
Same fan w/ Hogan... Click Here

Yao Ming is not 7'5". Here he is w/ Shawn Bradley, also listed 7'6"... Click Here


As for Lindsay Kay Hayward, I already proved she's 100% nowhere near 6'8" barefoot, and your rebuttal is that she was listed at 6'9" in college... And? So?

Here's Hayward (footwear unknown) w/ Boomer Esiason (2011)... Click Here
Boomer w/ 6'8" (not 6'9") Alonzo Mourning... Click Here
W/ maybe 6'5" flat Peyton Manning (2005)... Click Here
W/ 6'4.25" Eli Manning (2011)... Click Here


Reminder: same fan as w/ Khali, seen here w/ Hayward in maybe 3" heels (2010): Click Here

Same fan w/ Big Cass... Click Here , Click Here
W/ 6'7" Tyler Mane (2013)... Click Here

Her maybe 3-inch heels that day... Click Here

So, as you can see, 6'5" for Hayward is clearly not "nuts." Again, this is something I've already proven. Something you refuse to accept.



So, once again, to recap... everything you said has been 100% refuted. How does that make you feel?

Danimal 5'9 3/4" said on 1/Aug/19
You can see it in this brand new video at 13 seconds in that he's clearly had hip surgery and they've his once very long femur bone (as they did Hulk Hogans) which has 100% attributed to his height loss. Look how small and tiny his hips and thighs are now. I'm not talking about the weight loss. I'm talking about how much shorter his legs are and how much narrower his hips are. He's nowhere near 6'10" or 6'11" today. At best, he's 6'9". Click Here

@Vegas: I don’t agree with him on Hayward’s height along with some of the others that are too low which I’ve made clear to him before as well, but some the others such as Wade, I don’t see why it’s not a possibility. If we accept his pre draft then you should be able to accept Barkley’s 6’4 5/8 and it would mean Merriman is 6’4 when he’s definitely not that tall. Wade has said himself “I’m 6’4 on a very good day” as has his coach. That means he’s probably (I say definitely) not 6’3.75 and he never looks it on the court with guys that are 6’4/6’5 such as 6’4 5/8 Charles barkley or a 6’4.5 morning measured Justice Winslow (probably only 6’4 flat) or even with Ray Allen who is at most 6’4”. You refer to a video with Strahan and pic with Kobe. There are other instances when Wade doesn’t look that height but you don’t want to accept those pics. And You did the same on the Rock’s page when the Rock was favored with Suh you said he’s only an inch shorter. Then when we posted a better pic at the same event, you had an issue with that picture. At least if you’re gonna argue, then be consistent. You also said about Sotiris picking and choosing when you did it on Rock’s page. And I say that because you once told me “you can’t pick and choose what you believe” yet you do that. And I don’t see where Sotiris verbally abused anyone here. To be honest, if he did it to anyone here who is attacking him, it would be justified because He’s the one being abused if anything. Not saying he hasn’t had situations where he hasn’t handled it 100% perfectly as have many of us here, but Rob already said below that he doesn’t take offense when people disagree with him. I feel that everyone here is going in on Sotiris just because his estimates are lower than Rob’s. If it were opposite (and this isn’t directed at you because I’ve at least seen you challenge inflated heights people make), I doubt he’d be receiving this level of backlash. It seems as if the fact that he estimates lower than Rob is forcing people to react that way more so than what he’s actually saying in his posts. There are several others here who verbally abuse people when they upgrade several inches but they aren’t being lectured by everyone

Sotiris Gravas said on 31/Jul/19
@JT

The reason I gave Klay Thompson and Draymond Green both 6'5.25" is b/c the 6'5.75" was a morning measurement. Same for Steph Curry at 6'1.5" rather than 6'2". Aaron Rodgers' 6'2" listing is an error; he's around 6'1".

As for Yao Ming, he, himself, has stated that he was 7'3.75", before he grew taller. I'd be willing to believe 7'4.25" for Ming. If I'm wrong, then 7'4.5". Joakim Noah is 6'10", 6'10.5" is a morning height... Here's another pic of them together... Click Here

Here's Ming (listed 7'6") w/ Jaber Rouzbahani (listed 7'4")... Click Here

Ming w/ Pau Gasol (listed 7'0")... Click Here

Ming w/ Shawn Bradley (also listed 7'6")... Click Here Clearly, Bradley is closer to his listed height and while his head is tilted up slightly, he has Ming by more than 1 inch.

Shawn Bradley w/ Gheorghe Muresan (listed 7'7")... Click Here

Here's Shawn Bradley w/ Pavel Podklozin (listed 7'5") Click Here

Bradley and now 7'3" Mark Eaton... Click Here

Yeah, Andre definitely didn't look as tall as Ming next to Wepner, that's for sure.
