Show is normal stature around 6'10-11 and can still stand 7'0.5. The 7'1 Khali and Show stare down was proof for me.
AKK said on 27/Oct/07
You know, I realised something. What if we took some known vehicle(eg, the SUV that Big Show tipped over some weeks before his sumo match against Akebono)? If we can get an idea how big they are, relative to the vehicle, we'd have a standard for height, no? :)

Khali - 7'1

based on the evidence,i say show 6,11" sing 7,2",show only had 4-5 inches on kane who,s at least the same height as godsey 6,7" the difference looks much greater between godsey and singh i say 8 inches

yet singh had nowhere near 3" on show when the two were next to each other on tv and my non-biased/non-wrestling friends clearly pointed that out to me when i showed them the videos.

This is how Singh (Khali) appears next to Godsey with the pic straightened. (Click Here). Singh would lose an inch or two by lining up with Godsey but would still probably have him by around 6 inches.

Rock 3.5 inches taller than Austin? Laughable.

u know i just realized all the short guys are actually really tall and all the short guys arent as tall as they say.
like how shawn michaels is billed at 6'1 and is 6'0 and then batista is billed at 6'7 and is now being called 6'2.
CK said on 20/Oct/07
Recently went to WWE Live in the UK. There was a security guy (event staff) standing next to the isle who looked very tall. 6'5"-6'6" range. It was interesting to compare wrestlers to his height. Big Daddy V was the same height as him, Kane a little taller, Undertaker almost the same maybe a bit taller and Khali had him by almost a head. Khali is a definetly 7'1" maybe more.

Ginat Silva is no 6'11 mask , he was clearly taller than Schilt in Pride OWGP in 2004 .
And Schilt who believed he was 6'11"1/2 (212cm) has been recenttly measured on a show on the japanese TV @ 7'0"1/2 while standing tall so do your math .
7'2 is accurate for Silva .
Vegas said on 14/Oct/07
kane is one inch shorter than big show?? not even wearing his mega boots he wasn't :)

in 2006 the 4" height difference between the two was obvious Click Here and Click Here
Xardas said on 14/Oct/07
Now its my turn to give some estimations:
The Great Khali 7'1 at least (His Myspace claimed 7'3)
Big Show 6'11
The Undertaker 6'9
Kane 6'10
The Rock 6'4
Steve Austin 6'2
Triple H 6'2

dalip singh is more than 6,11,he,s at least 7'1" to 7,2",he had more than 7 inches on batista.
mask said on 6/Oct/07
I would also try to give my estimations of some tallest wrestlers' heights.
In my humble opinion I think that:
ANDRE THE GIANT 6'11" peak 6'9" later
BIG SHOW 7'0" peak 6'10.5" now
GIANT GONZALEZ 7'7"
GIANT SILVA 6'11"
GIANT SINGH 6'11.5"
MAX PALMER 7'7"

The undertaker is at least his listed 6'7.5 people who think he's 6'6'' need to give their head a shake.
Shock said on 1/Oct/07
I have met several guys whom I have seen underbilled here, and I think sometimes you guys seem to forget when you list guys as whether or not they are in bigger boots or not and confuse the references. Many times I see Cena listed as 6'2" in his "basketball shoes" but in reality sneakers don't give you any more height than regular shoes, in fact the soles on regular shoes and wrestling boots technically depress less than the rubber on sneakers. Whatever the case may be, Cena is 6'2" in his snearkers no matter what and doesn't matter what his real height is because that's what you have to go by. Now, taking this into account, Khali is at least a foot taller than the 6'2" version of Cena, at least. I am putting Khali at 7'1" and change and Show at 7'1" when they wake up in the morning. More often than not their height differential is indistinguishable and I believe any discrepencies are purely posture related. Any time you see Taker do a stare down with Khali or Big Show, Taker stands up straight, but with people shorder than him, Taker does not stand up so straight and generally even looks down with his head tilted. Another factor is that Taker's forehead is also bigger than any wrestler I've ever seen, with his only competition being the Rock, making him taller than some guys who have eye sockets above his, like Sid (by 1"), or Kane (by .5" tops). When Taker wrestles Khali, he looks massively shorter because of the posture he takes, probably more intentional for show than convenience. Khali is 4.5-5" taller than Taker in a legit staredown, putting Taker closer to 6'9" than 6'8" and only under 6'9" due to minor height loss from age. The 6'7" estimate for Taker are impossible based on many cross references.

dave, most people do believe Wight has lost a little bit of height over the years as he doesn't seem to be quite as taller as he was back in the days of WCW.

JT said on 8/Sep/07
LV, this is about as good as it gets from a low resolution YouTube video Click Here Nevertheless you still can see the edge of the foot of both Big Show and Singh pressing against the outside of the boot just above the sole, proving that there are no lifts inside. The actual heels of each look to be at the same approximate level.

Here’s Singh and ~ 6’7” Gary Godsey Click Here Singh is closer to the camera though. He looks about 7 inches taller as it is and would probably lose 1-2 inches by taking a step back.
LV said on 7/Sep/07
JT, do you have a better picture of Show & Singh's footwear from their meeting? Big Show's boots look thicker than normal. A good way to prove that Singh is taller would be to compare a picture Show/Rodman with a picture of Singh/Godsey from The Longest Yard (even though I think Godsey would slightly edge out Rodman). Anyone have those pictures?
dave said on 6/Sep/07
Has big show lost height over the yearsdue to surgery or anything like that? I stand by my claim that Khali is at least 1.5 inches taller than Wight barefoot.
Gollum said on 5/Sep/07
Thank you, JT.
Gollum said on 5/Sep/07
I now agree with people on here. In his prime Big Show was the height of Khali maybe a half inch shorter.
JT said on 4/Sep/07
Here you go Gollum (Click Here) Piper still looks in the 6’0” range at this point next to 5’8” Gene. Here’s another one of the two (Click Here). You also wanted to compare Big Show with Singh (Click Here) I still think Singh would edge Big Show out in height now but it would be close. I'm not sure about a mid-1990s Big Show though.
Gollum said on 4/Sep/07
JT if you could pause at a great place for Piper and Show so we can estimate him ana Khali.

I personally don't believe he will stay in wwe because there is no one good enough for him unless he carries on fighting the same people all the time
answer toa nonymous said on 25/Aug/07
Whether he is 7ft 1 to 7ft 3, he's huge either way. And no he does not have giantism. His father was also 7ft so its genetics meaning he won't continue to get larger and die young like andre the giant. And he's an inspector in india. Wouldn't want him after me!
Akirum byn Anaq said on 24/Aug/07
WWE lists Khali in his shoes, at 7-3. He's about 7-1 barefoot. Similar to the NBA listing someone like Arvidas Sabonis, at 7-3, but his barefoot height is like 7-1 1/2.
dave said on 22/Aug/07
Khali looks all of 7'2'' in the picture of him and Davari on the red carpet. Friggin monster.
JT said on 21/Aug/07
Thanks for the input James. I remember seeing Reis play b-ball a few times while at Santa Clara.

Here are a few clips of Reis in "action" Click Here Click Here and some screen caps with Big Show/Giant (Click Here) (Click Here) (Click Here)

Those are some really good estimates there Ghost.
James N. said on 21/Aug/07
JT, Supermanfan380:

WCW billed Big Show at 7'4" because he was supposed to be the "son" of Andre the Giant, who was also billed at 7'4". I wouldn't use that to compare him with Ron Reis, who is at least 7'1". Reis and I both went to Santa Clara University. He was a couple of years ahead of me, and he played basketball while he was there, but he's a legit 7'1". In some instances, he was listed at 7'2", if I recall correctly. I'd say Show is a solid 7'0" in barefeet.
Ghost said on 21/Aug/07
Ron Reis as the Yeti was taller than Paul Wight. He did probably have some headpiece inside his costume thus making him look taller, but I think he still was about an inch taller.

I think Snitsky waers huge lifts, didn't he say on his myspace that he was 6'4? He was very very close in height with heidenreich.

Here are my height estimations for some large wrestler past and present. I also tried to estimate their PEAK weights, so they are pretty much guesses, it's hard to tell.

Andre 6'11 later 6'10 / 520 lbs
Big Show 7' / 490 lbs
Khali 7'05 / 400 lbs
Gonzales 7'6 / 390 lbs
Undertaker 6'8 today 6'7 / 310 lbs
Kane 6'8 today 6'7,5 / 330 lbs
Umaga 6'2 / 320 lbs
Viscera 6'6,5 / 470 lbs
Hogan 6'5 today 6'3,5 / 300 lbs
Big John Studd 6'6,5 / 340 lbs
King Kong Bundy 6'3 / 440 lbs
One Man Gang 6'6 / 410 lbs
Kamala 6'4 / 320 lbs
Earthquake 6'5 / 440 lbs
Typhoon 6'3 / 340 lbs
Yokozuna 6'2 / 600 lbs (?)
Vader 6'2,5 / 350 Lbs
Giant Haystacks 6'7 / 550 lbs

Again the weights are just guesses, I could be totally wrong.
JT said on 21/Aug/07
Here you go Supermanfan380 Click Here In his WCW days, I'd estimate Reis at 7'1" and probably no less than 330 lbs.
Supermanfan380 said on 20/Aug/07
Just noticed somebody here said Ron Reis, and WCW billed him at 7'2".

If the said that Paul Wight was 7'4", wouldn't that mean that Ron Reis is nothing over 7 foot?

I mean 7 foot is still by all intents and purposes a giant, he just ain't over that.

Hard to find info on him though, they billed him at 7'2" and 326-360 pounds.

Snitsky is not 6'5 and a half, i met him in person and he was well over that, he told me " well bud...im about 6'7 6'8 " and he sure looked it, i had to literally look strait up at him to see his eyes
lillo thomas said on 12/Aug/07
Daliph Singh could be a legit 7-1 in some pics and videos he looks around 7-1 in others he look about 7-0
anonymous said on 11/Aug/07
To be honest it doesnt matter if kahli is only 7'1 now or even 7'2,the guy has giantism so he is gonna grow some more anyway.Batista is at least 6'3 and khali looked to have a good 9-10 inches on him currently.
Erik said on 9/Aug/07

You can tell that its a very low celing anyway, around 7-0.

If Batista is 6'2.5", then 7'0" - 7'0.5" looks fine for Singh. Really can't see him any less than 7'0".

Vegas said on 4/Aug/07
Skipper; khalis head is minimum 11" long (look at how much bigger it is compared to batistas). Batista is max 1" above khalis chin, there is 10" approx between khali and batista imo. If there is only is 7.5" between khali and batista then khalis head is approx 8.5" long (or approx 1" shorter than mine, lol).

I met batista in person he is 6'3 absolute max. I estimated him to between 6'2.5" and 6'3"

Arjun the camera angle favoured taker next to khali imo, just like it did the first time taker went head to head with gonzales
Skipper said on 4/Aug/07
in that pic khali is 7.5'' taller than 6'3.75'' batista khali is 7'0.5''
Arjun said on 4/Aug/07
Odd how UT appeared so tall next to Khali then.(He came just past his eye level, max 5 inches difference) Khali towers Batista, 9 inches minimum.
Khali is not less than 7 foot even IMO. Batista looks 6'3" max next to Khali.
Vegas said on 3/Aug/07
another khali/batista pic Click Here

I think its safe to assume based on those photos that batista is not his WWE listed height of 6'5 or indeed his old OVW listed height of 6'7
Viper said on 3/Aug/07
Vegas, I cannot beleive how much Khali just utterly dwarfs Batista. Thats unreal.
Vegas said on 2/Aug/07
Skipper some i agree with (hbk, flair), some are very close to what i think those guys are (orton, angle, big show, khali).

I was interested in your John Cena figure (i have met him and he is much taller than 6'0.5 in shoes; thats probably his barefoot height imo). I think Cena is 6'2 in the basketball boots he wears.

You have cena and Hbk at the same height in shoes but there is clearly two inches difference Click Here and Click Here kurt angle is also more than 1.75" shorter than cena in shoes Click Here

I believe there is alot more than 3" between kane and big show in wrestling boots as of 2005 (imo closer to 5") Click Here and Click Here and Click Here

Khali and batista Click Here
Khali and Cena Click Here
Skipper it doesn't look to me that batista is 5" taller than Cena is next to khali. Keep in mind Khalis head is approx 11 inches long.

I don't like to be too critical because its the type of list i havent seen here before, good job, very interesting reading (even if i don't agree with everything you have written)

That pic with Kane and Khali is 5 inches max. I think that Kane is 6'7.5", Undertaker is 6'8", and Khali is 7'1".
anonymous said on 28/Jul/07
i,ll agree with you jason ,he does tower over them,and batista we know for a fact is only 6'3" he appears shorter than both edge and orton who are 6'5".taker has batista by 4 inches also,my estimates taker,6,7" kane6'7",batista 6,3",kali7'2".if dalip has taker by 4-5 inches,then it,s safe to say that maybe with lifts taker is 6'8"or 6'9" which to me is really pushing it imo.with that dalip would have at least 9 inches on batista ,if taker has 4 on him.the most batista could possibly be is 6'4",then taker would be 6'8" dalip 7'1".

Gollum said on 25/Jul/07
Now draw a line at the top of Big Shows shoe and Khali.
JT said on 25/Jul/07
Different arenas Gollum. If I make Cena the same size in both, it should be pretty accurate, especially since they are all standing in basically the identical position and the camera angle is close. Big Show and Singh match up just like they do here (Click Here).
Gollum said on 24/Jul/07
One problem JT, look at the rope line. Someone was closer.
JT said on 24/Jul/07
Singh could be around 7 feet even. I compared him with Cena and Big Show with Cena and they again came out just about the same height (Click Here). Big Show looked no more than 7’0” through much of his WWE career. Singh’s posture, trimmer appearance and slightly smaller head may make him appear taller than Big Show. The first thing your eye notices about Big Show is that sizable gut.

In his staredown with Cena, Singh had him by almost exactly a head size. (Click Here) Cena can look pretty tall in his tennis shoes so I still won’t rule out 7’1” for Singh.

I don't see Andre under 6'11 for his peak though. 6'10 is selling him a bit short I think.

i think khali would have maybe 2" on peak Andre. It all depends on khalis true height. He looked right around the 7 foot mark with cena Click Here and batista Click Here

Andre i believe was 6'10
taker said on 21/Jul/07
Vegas,how would andre compare to khali you think ,heightwise?
taker said on 19/Jul/07
i heard in a newspaper article batista was listed at 6'4",maybe if edge is a legit 6'5" maybe, i personally think he,s more like 6'3".

11 inches taller maybe 10 the least khali wow big man.
mike m said on 14/Jul/07
16yrs 5'10 i agree 100 percent the man is 7'2" he towered over 6'3" batista.
16 yrs and 5"10 said on 14/Jul/07
rob update khalis height to 7"2 he is definitely 7"2 and not an inch shorter than that...
mike m said on 14/Jul/07
according to the way taker looked next to khali,and the way batista did it appears to me that taker would have a good 5 inches on batista,taker has to be 6'8".
mike m said on 14/Jul/07
what,s cenas true height ,cause whatever that is add another 2 inches,and you,ll have batistas.

khali could make 7'3" easy all he has to do is wear big lifts like kane,lol.
hellfire boy said on 11/Jul/07
khali is 7'2'' in shoes. without them he's about 7'0.5'' he did'nt really look 7'3'' compared to the big show who's 6'11.5'' and 7'1'' in shoes khali did not look 2'' taller than show. taller than him by around 1'' - 1.5'' at least. yeah 7'1'' sounds right for khali
AKK said on 8/Jul/07
I just checked. For 5'8(173 cm), my head is almost exactly 9 inches from top to chin. This gives a height of roughly 7.5 heads(9/69 is about the same as 1/7.5, 0.13~)
LV said on 8/Jul/07
I think you guys are confusing soles with heels. A 1.25" sole will give you 1.25" of extra height. Sole height is consistent across the entire length of the shoe/boot. In comparison, a 2" heel might give 1"-1.5" of extra height because of the way the foot pivots. Some of these wrestlers that are trying to appear much taller (Big Show while in WCW) wore boots with thick soles and a heel. Guys like Hogan that are just trying to add some extra height typically wear a thick soled boot like these(Click Here). This is why a likely 6'5.5"-6'5.75" peak Hogan looked 6'7"+ in ring gear.
mike m said on 7/Jul/07
vegas can you provide the pic of nash and kareem?
mike m said on 7/Jul/07
dalip has at least 7-8 inches on godsey in that pic.so if godsey is a legit 6'6" then khali stands 7'1" to 7'2" easily.
JT said on 7/Jul/07
(Click Here) Burt Reynolds is around 5’10”. Gary Godsey is in the 6’6” to 6’7” range.

Alex, it will if the sole under the entire ball of the foot is 1.25"
Alex said on 6/Jul/07
A sole that is 1.25 inches I think will give you 1.25 inches to your height.
mike m said on 6/Jul/07
ok an inch and a quarter no argument here,just estimating.
Vegas said on 6/Jul/07
ok mike here is a good website Click Here

are big shows boot soles thicker than some of the boots there??? no is my answer. All the boots there have soles of 1.25" and we know that a sole of 1.25" gives a lift of much less than 1.25".

There is no way wights boots give him up to 2" advantage over Singh's. Barefoot i believe both would be the same height we see on the videos
mike m said on 5/Jul/07
take away the thick soled boots show is wearing and i think we would definitely see a 2 inch difference in height.show 6'11 and dalip 7'1".
Vegas said on 2/Jul/07
anonymous yes thats what JT has already said; khali's eyes are higher than shows!! however eye level (as well as shoulder level etc) does not determine overall height; brock lesnars eyes were higher than hulk hogans in a staredown yet lesnar was 1" shorter overall, height difference is only measured from the tops of both heads and as JT has pointed out, that is barely noticeable between show and khali with it being 1" max between the two.

shows forehead is much bigger than khalis and that is why is eyes are so low.
anonymous said on 2/Jul/07
if you draw a straight line from khalis eye level over to big show it comes to about an inch,inch in a half above shows eye level.the distance may be a factor their not standing close together,but i say there is a definite inch without a doubt between the two.if khali tops out at 7'2" then show is 7'1" maybe 6'11.5 barefoot.
RiCo said on 2/Jul/07
Dalip Singh aka The Great Khali is 7'2 and is half a foot taller than both Kane and Undertaker who are both around the 6'8/6'9 bracket. He is also 2 or 3 inches taller than the 6'11.5 Big Show
anonymous said on 1/Jul/07
vegas draw a line from khalis eye level over to show.
JT said on 1/Jul/07
To me, Singh and Big Show look roughly the same size in their ring gear, with any true difference in height from the larger soles on Big Show’s boots. Singh has such great posture and a full head of hair that he always appears tall. (Click Here) (Click Here) In looking at it again, I also think Singh does have a smaller (but still huge) head, with his eyes set higher than Big Show, which adds to his apparent height. In the second pic, Big Show actually straightens out his neck, which is something he had not done since the WCW and early WWF days.

I’m sure some pics of Singh with NBA stars and other celebrities, etc. will eventually surface. He just seems to tower over everyone such as the McMahons to be anything under 7 feet. I think Editor Rob’s 7’1” estimate is spot on for now. Has that clip with Singh on Conan O’Brien’s show ever been posted?
Vegas said on 1/Jul/07
i gonna post these again Click Here and Click Here

Honestly gollum imo i don't see 2". 1" probably; 1.5" maximum between the two (and at times no height difference at all!!)

I think khali may be closer to 7ft barefoot than 7'1 though; although he looks every bit of 7'1 next to cena which is strange???

btw gollum i am only after seeing your june 3 entry now. Is it possible for you to post those pics of you and your dad next to abyss and jbl??
Gollum said on 30/Jun/07
Khali has at least 2 inches on Big Show.
mike m said on 30/Jun/07
if you draw a straight line from khalis eye to big show,khalis eye level comes about mid forehead on big show.i say there is at least an inch an a half difference in height between the two.so if khali is a legit 7'2" show tops out at 7'1 max,barefoot 6'11.5".
mew f said on 29/Jun/07
In The Longest Yard it said he was 7'10 ( making of )
mike m said on 28/Jun/07
imo it doesn,t appear to me that khali has 6 inches on taker,the difference looks more like 4 inches.
Robert said on 27/Jun/07
He also has bigger hands than Big Show, not just length wise. I have checked it on video.
Gollum said on 25/Jun/07
Khali is a good 7'1 or maybe 7'2.
anonymous said on 25/Jun/07
khali easily steps over the top rope,the top rope is about waist level on him,the average man 5'10" around chest level the top rope.
LV said on 20/Jun/07
Khali is slouching big time in that picture, he's surely 11-12" taller.
Nick said on 19/Jun/07
If you go to this link, it shows khali standing in between to other indian wrestlers, the one of the left of him is said to be 6'2. So although Khali doesn't look much taller, its nearlly a foot.

Tom said on 18/Jun/07
After seeing wrestlemania 23 It's clear khali has about 13-16 cm on kane
poiuv said on 7/Jun/07
umaga is actually 6'4 and if you have not noticed he wrestles barefoot and khalli wears big boots, khalli is 10 inches bigger i would say.
Alex said on 5/Jun/07
On Raw last night with 6'2 Umaga barefoot Singh had 12-13 inches on him so barefoot Singh would be like 7'1 most likely but no more.
Arjun said on 5/Jun/07
Alex, I agree. Show looks quite a bit shorter than he is due to his short (relatively, of course) legs, long torso, no neck, and huge head.
Alex said on 4/Jun/07
Arjun, years ago when I thought most heads were like 8 inches and I thought the same for Big Show believe it or not, LOL.
Thats a reason why some may think Big Show is shorter. They'll see a guy a head shorter and think Big Show's head is like 9 inches.
Arjun said on 4/Jun/07
Big Show's head is too huge to be anything under 12 inches. It actually looks more in the 12.5 inch range to me.
mike m said on 4/Jun/07
on dalip singhs fan page it says his real height is 7'3",if that,s the case we know show is 7'1" so there would be a 2 inch difference.
Alex said on 3/Jun/07
Big Show's head has gotta be like 12 inches. Mine is about 9.5 inches.
Gollum said on 3/Jun/07
I went to the CWA this weekend and met several superstars "legends" because of my VIP I was able to even interveiw a several of them. First off Kamala, who is a true gentlemen and is tall and has lost about 150ibs. He stands a good 6'7 barefoot. Nice guy. Jake Roberts a true jerk and legend in his own mind is also tall I figure about 6'6 but in wrestling boots he has at least 1 inch on Kamala if that is any help to you on boot size and how they can change a wrestlers height. Greg Valentine seemed about 5'10 and the Mid Night Express and Rock'n Roll Express were all in the 5'9, 5'10 range. Magnum TA was there and the poor fellow still has that champion look and makes one wonder. Timber was there along with a very fat org. Mask Superstar. Jake Roberts is a total dick, he thinks hes Hulk Hogan or something. I have pictures of me 6'2.5 and my brother Jonathan 6'4 taken with some of the taller wrestlers and it will show you there heights compared to us. Vegas I will also have a good Abyss pic and JBL pic with me to show how tall they are with me to show just how much taller JBL is than Abyss.
mike m said on 3/Jun/07
well maybe i could be as big as 12 inches soory vegas.from the second video they both look about the same height imo.
Vegas said on 3/Jun/07
mike m; Big shows head 9"????? Surely you are not being serious man ;) my head is more than 9". How big is my friends head if Big Show's is just 9"??? 7" max :D

BTW there are just the two meetings of khali and show and here are both on video Click Here and Click Here
mike m said on 3/Jun/07
big show with the 5'8" announcer guy.you figure show heas has to be at least 9 inches maybe 10.ok from the bottom of his chin to the top of that guys head there is at least 6-7 inches,so just say shows head is 9 inches ,add 6 inches thats 15,that would put show at 6'11" minumum in that pic.
Albi said on 3/Jun/07
By the way, if Dalip's head seems enormous to you, just compare it to Cena's head. If my Photoshop hasn't gone nuts, they're about the same height. He might have a big chin, but he doesn't have a big head. Andre the Giant had a big head. Giant Silva has a big head, but Khali does not.
Albi said on 3/Jun/07
Vegas, the Rock is loosing exactly 2 inches there (taking into account that Glenn is loosing at least half-an-inch too). However, he is a bodybuilder, we are sure his body is standing firm. You cannot expect the same thing from a 210cm thin basketball player. Those guys don't just lean, they drop their body, both in the spine and in the knees. I have a friend of mine, 194cm very slim, that looses 1inch just from his big head that he cannot keep straight. A far cry from Stallone's posture, thats for sure.
mike m said on 2/Jun/07
vegas could you provide a pic of dalip and big show side by side.
Vegas said on 2/Jun/07
not sure i agree Albi; here is a celeb leaning alot Click Here and Editor Rob says that lean is losing the Rock only about 1"-1.5" there. Michaels and Duncan seem to be standing roughly the same to me. I am almost the exact same height as Michaels and Flair (who is just a smidge taller than me), i have met them both btw; and I have a picture with Matt Morgan where I am exactly as tall next to him as Shawn is to Duncan. In that photo i posted Duncan looks 6'8-6'9 next to Flair and HBK imo; but then photos are not always the best to estimate height.
mike m said on 2/Jun/07
i,d probably say more like 4-5 inches the most.taker has to be no less than 6'8",there doesn,t seem to be a whole lotta difference in height to me.
Anonymous said on 2/Jun/07
I would suprise me that when Khali makes his debut and is supposed to be as big as the Eiffel tower, they would try to make Taker look taller having him wear bigger boots... But then again, who knows. You won't find much logic in the WWE.
Anonymous said on 2/Jun/07
Ghost, I too saw only a 5" difference between Taker and Khali, Taker was'nt dwarfed by him. Maybe he (UT) brought out the bigger boots for that match?
Anonymous said on 2/Jun/07
Seeing that Cena has a slight footwear advantage, there would probably be around 12 inches on the dot between the two men barefoot. Khali is at least 7'0", but no more than 7'1".
Anonymous said on 2/Jun/07
An 8 inch head is too small for an average height guy. I'm only 5'8", but my head is almost exactly (within 1-2 mm) 9.5" or 24 cm. It looks pretty average to me. I would say a 5'3" person would come to about the bottom of the nose/bottom of ears of a 5'10" person, or if the 5'10" person looks up, to the mouth.
mike m said on 1/Jun/07
your right vegas i,m not a giant just average compared to paul wight or dalip singh.
Albi said on 1/Jun/07
Vegas, using "the head" (pun intended) to calculate his height, I'd give him 21-22cm over Michaels right away. Then he is a basketball player, and a very tall slim one, so he is leaning a lot, both in his upper body that we can see and probably in his legs too. He probably isn't keeping his knees straight. So 30cm difference makes sense. But, ok, my method may be very wrong at times, since I'm not 7ft and have a proportionate head (unlike most of those ugly malformed giants).
Craiger said on 1/Jun/07
"The day the 2 faced off they said 7'0 and 7'3 while there was no way a 3 inch difference."

actually alex I hate to be one to correct people, however that day was the only day they siad khali was under 7'3", when he entered the ring beofre bgi show came out michael cole refered to him as 7'2"
Vegas said on 1/Jun/07
You have an eight inch head mike m if (your wife is 7" shorter than you and the top of her head comes up to about an inch above your chin) and you are 5'10??? That seems a little too small of a head to me. a person 5'3 should come to at least the mouth of someone 5'10
Vegas said on 1/Jun/07
the staredown is approx 45 seconds into this video Click Here Camera angle is not the best but it looks between 5" and 6" to me
mike m said on 1/Jun/07
my wife is 5'3",and i,m 5,10",the top of her head comes up to about an inch above my chin,so theres 7 inches there.khali, knowing he has a larger head ,cause of acromegely,i assume since cena looks about chin level ,there has to be at least a 10 inch difference in height.
Ghost said on 1/Jun/07
I would say Cena is 6'05 and Khali 7'05.

I find it hard to believe Khali is 7'1 or more since he was only 5 inches taller than Taker. Could somebody repost pics from their stare-down?
Arjun said on 1/Jun/07
Actually, Cena could be a tiny bit (1 cm) above the very bottom of Khali's chin w/o his hair. Still the difference is very close to 12 inches - not less than 11.5 inches. If Cena is 6'2" in basketball boots or 6'0.5"ish barefoot, Khali really cannot be less than 7'0" and is more likely 7'0.5" or upto 7'1" max.
Arjun said on 1/Jun/07
In Vegas's photos, Singh (who we can be sure is standing fully straight, as he always does :) has Cena by exactly a head discounting Cena's hair, and a head is around 12 inches for Singh - surely not less than 11.5 inches? Nothing under 7'0" for Khali, as Cena who is around 6'0" barefoot has a slight footwear advantage too.
mike m said on 31/May/07
that guy is tim duncan he,s 6'11".
Alex said on 30/May/07
Singh has around 13 inches on Cena. 7'1 and 6'0 makes the most sense.
Alex said on 30/May/07
Cena on TV refers to Khali as 7'5 and King says 7'4 sometimes too while JR says 7'3. Yet they'll say Big Show is 7'0 while really there isn't more than an inch between the 2 guys. The day the 2 faced off they said 7'0 and 7'3 while there was no way a 3 inch difference.
Vegas said on 30/May/07
Some screenshots of singh and cena at judgment day Click Here Singhs chin is stupidly big and is putting us off on our estimation(s) slightly. Cena is easily 4" short of Singh's mouth in that staredown

Everyone knows I met Cena face to face and estimated him at roughly 6'2 in his big basketball boots. before i started posting here Jason was saying Cena looked 6'1 both times he saw him up close Click Here 13/Feb/06 entry and i am sure he took shoes into account when estimating him
Vegas said on 30/May/07
Albi you obviously are close to 7ft and have acromelagy too??? Singh's head is easily 12" or about 31cm. Look how much bigger his head is than an average sized guy and girl (and both of these are wrestlers) Click Here

Or how much bigger his head is than a big guy like Kane Click Here

Correct JT, on Raw Jim Ross said Singh "is probably bigger than 7'3, more likely 7'4" or something along those lines. I didnt think i would ever hear that, they obviously have huge plans for Singh!!!

Just out of curiosity Albi how tall DO YOU THINK the big guy here is in this photo Click Here taking into account that Cena (in his big basketball boots is roughly 2" taller than Shawn Michaels) Click Here
JT said on 29/May/07
Vegas, I now think Khali’s head is probably in the 12 inch range, like Big Show’s and Andre’s. It looks about the same size as Big Show’s here when their noggins are in similar positions. (Click Here) IMO, another reason why Khali looked taller in that video is that he had his hands on his hips in that military posture, which raised his shoulder level.

I still think he’d have Big Show by around an inch though (7’1” vs. 7’0”). I think one of the announcers last night mentioned Singh as being 7'4", the "sacrosanct" but bogus height of Andre! It would be great to see an early WCW-size Big Show match up against Singh.
Albi said on 29/May/07
Against Cena, Khali had a full head of heaight advantage (I just checked it on the video). My head is 24cm tall, Khali's shoudln't be more than 28cm, even 28 is a big stretch for a human head. 30cm ofdifference as someone else suggested is way too much for a head. For him to have 33cm advantage over Cena would require Cena to wear heels in a match, which is impossible. Either upgrade Cena or downgrade Khali. I would put Khali at 212cm.

I suggest you guys start using the "head" as a measure. The phrase "to me looks" is completely out of place when talking about 30cm of height difference.
Gollum said on 29/May/07
I agree Vegas, Viscera is the only guy on Raw who even comes close to this dudes height,.
Alex said on 29/May/07
Vegas, I think they gotta have Big Show vs Singh when Big Show and I assume he'll be back sooner or later again.
Vegas said on 29/May/07
one thing which caught my eye watching raw last nite was the size of Singh. here is the video (really awful quality) Click Here Play rite to the end when umaga, vince, shane and singh are all on the ramp standing side by side. Look at how much Singh dwarfs 6'1-6'2 Shane there, amazing
Alex said on 29/May/07
He looked at least 7'1 last night on Raw. Umaga who is 6'2 was an inch shorter than Shane who was 6'3 in shoes so he's 6'2 barefoot and looked a good foot shorter than Khali or maybe more. Khali could be wearing a bit of lift sometimes though.
Alex said on 26/May/07
Whats the standard wrestler boot give? 1.5 inches? If so then its equal to Nike Shox.
Vegas said on 26/May/07
I think Cena's Shox are giving him 0.5-0.75" over Khali's rather flat footwear (the pictures have been posted before). I base my evidence on the fact that Cena IS taller now wearing basketball boots than he WAS wearing wrestling boots when he started in the WWE
Big Show said on 25/May/07
thx Vegas. Khali has over a full head on Khali. I doubt if the footwear of either one is giving him much advantage compared to the other one. If Cena is 6', I'm guessing Khali to be 7'0.5!
Alex said on 24/May/07
Those Nike Shox give like 1.5 inches of height to you. The ones I got I feel taller in them than my other pairs of sneakers that give 1-1.25 inches of height depending on the pair.
Vegas said on 24/May/07
dont worry Big Show the full match is here Click Here looks like a 12" difference to me between Cena and Singh and then you have to take into account Cena's 1.4" Shox he is wearing
Big Show said on 23/May/07

Khali vs. John Cena at Judgment Day 2007. Looks a full foot to me.
Alex said on 23/May/07
Arjun, I agree pretty much. 5'10.5-5'11 for HBK and 7'1 for Khali.
nova said on 23/May/07
Khali looks to have 1 1/2 inches on the Big Show here but you have to take into account the Big Show's boot souls are at least an inch thicker than Khali's. So Khali 7'1+ & Big Show 6'11 but probably 7' peak for Show.
Click Here
Arjun said on 23/May/07
I would say 5'11" for Michaels, 7'0" - 7'1" for Singh. Michaels seemed to be at best till his shoulders, likely slightly below. Roughly the same difference as between Singh and Piper.
Arjun said on 22/May/07
He massively towered Shawn Michaels on Raw last night. The commentators were repeatedly referring to Khali as "7-foot-3, 430 lbs" Hard to tell the exact difference, but I'd say over a foot. He was throwing Michaels around like a rag doll! How tall is Michaels - 5'11" - 6'0", I believe?
Arjun said on 20/May/07
He was measured as a bodybuilder in India (in his 20's) at 6'11.5", but I think he is a bit taller than that now.
big show fan said on 20/May/07
khali was measured at 7'1" according to an indian bodybuiliding site ,but when maybe he is 7'2" now.

Arjun said on 20/May/07
Tom - from what I heard, Singh was only 5'9"ish at 16, and then got a massive growth spurt due to pituitary problems which developed around that time.
Paul said on 19/May/07
Tom, Some of those web pages are just blag be careful...he would certainly land the part of the big Ogre or the big Genie though. Hard to buy 7'3 at 15 really. He isn't that big now.

vegas can you post a staredown pic or video with show and cena for comparison.
Arjun said on 15/May/07
Singh has excellent posture though, it's funny how straight he tries to stand sometimes, and this is regardless of the height of the wrestlers around him. He seems to stand as straight facing Rey Mysterio as when facing Big Show.
Arjun said on 15/May/07
I'm thinking Khali could be closer to 7'0" barefoot, because he had only 5 inches max on Undertaker in that staredown pic. Unless UT was wearing bigger boots? He (Khali) is definitely not under 7'0" though.
Arjun said on 15/May/07
There is an inch at best between Show and Khali in that pic, likely less than a an inch, though Show's boots look a little bigger. Show gives the impression of being shorter, but he is actually very close in height to Khali.
mike m said on 15/May/07
imo kane would be maybe 5 inches shorter than kali maybe 6 the most,leaving kane 6'7' to 6'8".
mike m said on 15/May/07
there appears to be a solid 12 inches there no more though.cena is 6'1" so khali is 7'1" i,m thinking,or at least it looks that way.with that i don,t think there would be a huge difference between khali and big show maybe an inch.cena looked just as short with big show during the battle rap then he did with khali.
Vegas said on 15/May/07
no picture but there is a nice staredown between cena and khali at the start of this video Click Here
anonymous said on 14/May/07
vegas do you have a good pic of khali in a staredown with cena,no bad camera angles .
Vegas said on 14/May/07
Very good analysis anonymous; a khali/gonzales staredown would look very similiar to the taker/khali staredown only with Khali being the smaller man this time :)
anonymous said on 14/May/07
vegas would you say that khali next to gonzales would look much like the khali taker staredown?
Vegas said on 13/May/07
IMO Gonzales would have approx 7" on Paul Wight from what I saw in person; 4-5" on Ron Reis; 4-5" on Paul Silva; 5-6" on Dalip Singh; 8" on Andre; 9" on Kevin Nash; 11" on Glen Jacobs; 11" on Calaway and 11-12" on Sid Eudy. Really makes you appreciate how tall the guy i have dubbed the "real giant of pro wrestling" really was. And all this time he is confined to a wheelchair, living in poverty; what a awful shame.

But I am sure those lovely people at WWE will run a 2 second commemoration for him when he dies to make it all rite again.
16yrs and 5"10 said on 13/May/07
here is 1 man who is a solid 7 footer even more than that....khali may look short bcoz he is very bulky...i mean 420pds is a lot of weight...so i wil give him a legit 7"2...he looks 2 inches taller than 7' big show so 7"2 will be perfect...besides he has a big skull..neway i am a khali fan and i really like him...muahhh
mike m said on 13/May/07
the top of shows head and singhs head would come up to gonzales mouth,or maybe his nose. gonzales we know would clearly have 6 inches on show and 4-5 inches on giant singh.
anonymous said on 12/May/07
there is 2 inches between the two, dalip stated on conan he,s 7'2" .
mike m said on 12/May/07
khali has stated he was 7'2"so big show is either 7'0" or 7'1".
mike m said on 12/May/07
khali towers over 5'10" daivari by 16 inches easily,so that would leave khali around 7'2".

i don,t know i,m going to say there is 2 inches between the two.6'11" and 7'1".
Alex said on 10/May/07
JT, also Big Show's forehead is bigger than Khali's which makes Show's eye level under Khali's. Show's boots were no more than 1/2 inch bigger than Khali's. With all that Khali has no more than 1.5 inches on Big Show.
JT said on 9/May/07
Here you go Anonymous. (Click Here) They are very close in height though I still think Khali would have Big Show by up to an inch since the soles on Big Show's shoes were bigger. Khali also has great posture. Big Show's head is at least an inch bigger than Khali's, and with his chin and eyes at a lower level, he looks shorter next to Khali than he really is. He also has basically a shaved head here.

Sorry anonymous my computer is broke so I cant access all my software. I am using this real old pc at the mo. Here is something to bide you over in the meantime though Click Here alex is right approx 1.5" between Show and khali. Strange because singh "looks" a much taller man imo, just that Wights posture is so poor i suppose. They both dwarf taker by the way in that video btw
anonymous said on 8/May/07
vegas can you draw the line on that image of the staredown of khali and show?maybe we can get a better perspective of the height difference.
Alex said on 8/May/07
There may not even be 2 inches between Khali and Big Show. At least an inch I'm sure of, maybe 1.5 inches from that picture from imageshack that was posted here a while ago.
mike m said on 7/May/07
if khali is only 7'1" then show is 6'11" if khali is a legit 7'2" then show is 7'0". i believe theres at least a 2 inch difference in height after studying the pic.
mike m said on 6/May/07
khali towered rick flair, easy 7'1" so did big show 6'11" to 7'0" without a doubt.
supes78 said on 5/May/07
I've seen the footage of Singh vs. Sila but notice that Silva is wearing big wrestling boots while Singh is sporting sneakers. Thus, Silva seems to have a 1 inch advantage, but barefoot, they'd both be the same height.
Paul said on 5/May/07
More footage........

Vegas said on 3/May/07
Tough one Arjun; Silva is 44 years old now and suffering from acromegaly so maybe he has lost an inch???? Hard to know though we really didn't see enough of this guy in the WWF or before that to get a good estimate of peak height though. I tend to go with the secondary MMA websites which has him at 7'2 at present; his severe slouching makes him look shorter at times though.
Arjun said on 2/May/07
Vegas, how tall do you think Silva was at his tallest?
Icehole73 said on 2/May/07
I just saw Giant Silva today in NJ at a Mexican restaurant. He took his picture with me although he stayed seated. First I must say how incredibly nice he was and friendly. I couldn't figure out his height because he was seated but shaking his hand is something I'll never forget!!!Freaking huge..
anonymous said on 2/May/07
Dalip is a legit 7 foot 1 inch. He's always had an inch over silva and when silva fought in pride he was billed at a full 7 feet (bare feet). There you go, I read some one posting on this page saying he was billed at 7'5" and 7'7" which is bull ****. I've seen the few matches he has had in pride and we a full 7 feet tall.
mike m said on 30/Apr/07
arjun i agree
Arjun said on 29/Apr/07
Khali ain't anything under 7'0" barefoot. Most probably a bit over.
mike m said on 29/Apr/07
i think these wrestlers accomodate to what ever match their going to have, i believe they use varying size lifts,such as taker using the thicker soled boots and big show also.
mike m said on 29/Apr/07
with the proper footwear he could be 7,2-7,3" but for a fact in the staredown with taker it was evident ,there was only 5 inches between the two. my estimate khali 7'1" taker 6'8".
Giant said on 27/Apr/07
Scroll down here Click Here it says 7´1" and 396 pounds.
Arjun said on 26/Apr/07
Vegas, Singh seems to really tower Kane in that photo . His head looks HUGE too.
Alex said on 19/Apr/07
Eric, I'd say Kane is in between 6'7 and 6'8 putting Khali 7'0-7'1.
Alex said on 19/Apr/07
The problem I got with Kane being billed at 7'0 is that they say Big Show is 7'0 as well when they're both in the same match when Big Show is at least 4 inches taller. And in the Kane/Khali match online it said a match of two 7 footers! LOL
Viper652 said on 3/Oct/06
Rock is 6-2 at the very least, not 6-0. Next to Kareem he does look shorter.
Cantstop25 said on 3/Oct/06
haha I love your diink reference dkko, but yeah karream makes basically everybody look short

Dalip is a rare exception, I found this on a website and it made me very angry, this guy has access to the vid of dalip on Conan, but he edited out the scene where he shook his hand!

well here is is anyway, you can watch he and sandler play ping pong

Click Here
Dkko said on 2/Oct/06
Wow man! The Rock has really shrunk since he left the ring, he looks like Dink next to that Kareem guy I doubt he's past the 6foot mark nowadays, I can only imagine how he would look next to Jorge Gonzales
Big Show said on 23/Sep/06
The fact that Jorge is listed by the Guinness Book of Records as 7'6 pretty much confirms to me that he in fact is the height he claims to be. Guinness would never list a height listing in their book if they don't have watertight proof that he indeed is this height. There have been so many people who claim to be over 8 feet tall but in reality there have only been 11 people that exceeded were this height.
If Guinness would take peoples words for it, Leonid Stadnik would be listed as the tallest person today, Max Palmer as the tallest wrestler ever and Siah Khan ibn Kashmir Khan as the tallest person ever.
Cantstop25 said on 23/Sep/06
JT, that is a great pic of singh wiht crewes, he looks like he has a full foot on him. Look how huge his head is! Tough he is closer to the camera. A full foot is possible.
Alex said on 22/Sep/06
I remember during WM 9 the announcers said Giant Gonzalez made UT look like a 5'10 guy. LOL
Alex said on 22/Sep/06
I don't see Gonzalez under 7'5, but the man does look a legit 7'6 guy though.

The first picture of Rock and Kareem isn't too good as Kareem is a little more closer to the camera. The 2nd one is good as its a big difference but not as it looked in the first.
Frank said on 22/Sep/06
Your right Jason....I dont read Spanish but what i could make out he was 7ft 6 when he started Wrestling and he was still growing but i read somewhere that now he is very sick and is wheelchair bound and he is only 40 years old
Jason said on 22/Sep/06
6'4'' would just be Terry Crews' inflated height. Not all NFL listings are honest.

Frank, I wouldn't take Giant Gonzalez's site's word for it. Rob e-mailed Hillbilly Jim's site and they replied he's 6'7''.

Editor Rob
re crewes, someone mentioned crewes height was too high, so I did look back into the past:

"Editor Rob says on 11/Sep/06
True on this guy

The 1991 Draft has him "Terry Crews, 6-2, 235"...quoted in newspaper The Record, 1991.

also in 1996, Philly Enquirer article on Eagles signing crews, gave him "Crews is a 6-foot-2, 247-pound, four-year pro".
Viper652 said on 22/Sep/06
Michael Irvin is 6-2.
Richard said on 22/Sep/06
Terry Crews is not 6-2. He's six four. Micheal Irvin is 6-3 to 6-4 and Crews standing next to him was basically the same height or a liitle bit taller in the Longest Yard.
JT said on 22/Sep/06
Singh next to Terry Crews, an ex-NFL linebacker who Editor Rob has at 6'2" (Click Here). Sorry folks, you'll have to pay if you want a bigger photo. Singh looks a good head size taller. Here's Crews next to Arnold (Click Here)
Frank said on 22/Sep/06
On Gonzalez's website it said he was 7ft 6 and than he grew to about 7ft 7 and change Click Here Its in Spanish but you can make out the heights...I emailed them and ask them out tall he is and they emailed me back 2.32 metros which is 7ft 7 and change
KingNick said on 21/Sep/06
If I was Undertaker and I saw Giant Gonzalez walking to the ring in that suit at the Royal Rumble I think I would have cried.
Viper652 said on 21/Sep/06
Gonzales could be 7-4 or 7-5 in reality.
Paul said on 21/Sep/06
Yeah, I reckon Gonzales should have been billed as 'the abominable snowman' with a furry mask, grey powered wig and beard. Reckon Vince missed an opportunity there.
Jason said on 20/Sep/06
Giant Gonzalez was listed by the Atlanta Hawks as 7-6, and you know what listed as means. That abominable snowman/cave man muscle suit was wild.
Viper652 said on 19/Sep/06
Man,is it me or does Undertaker only look 6-6 If that with Giant Gonzales. That plastic body on Gonzales looks really bad.
Viper652 said on 19/Sep/06
Rock only appears 6-1 with Kareem.
Jason said on 19/Sep/06
You weren't kidding. I think it's safe to say he's not wearing them for the boost in height lol. He's got a smallish head for his height, though.
JT said on 19/Sep/06
Big Show, try this link (Click Here). If Kareem stood straight, he'd be about one head size taller, or around 11 inches. I watched Kareem play since the early 70s. He was never listed below 7'2" in his playing days. He always had Wilt by at least one inch. This would make Rock around 6'3". Good call, Editor Rob.

The fellow on the left is Dennis Prager, a 6'4" talk radio host here in Los Angeles (Click Here). Kareem's got lifts, Jason! Check out the size of those heels. Maybe he got the cowboy boot idea from Andre.
KingNick said on 18/Sep/06
I tried posting this a few days back and I don't think it went through but if it ends up showing up twice I apologize. Click Here photos of Giant Gonzalez vs. UT. Look at the thumbnails, top row, last picture on the right shows a good shot of UT's shoes. Bottom row, third pic, shows Giant Gonzalez's shoes.
Jason said on 18/Sep/06
Kareem was about 7'1 1/2'' in his prime - he has both 7'1'' and 7'2'' basketball listings. He's around 60 years old now so likely isn't quite as tall as he used to be, either.
KingNick said on 16/Sep/06
Here are some Giant Gonzalez UT pics Click Here the fourth thumbnail with Gonzalez's hands up shows UT's shoes. The third one on the second row shoes Gonzalez's shoes
KingNick said on 16/Sep/06
Haha I wish Paul. My guess :>)
Jason said on 16/Sep/06
I would say Taz is 5'6''. Mysterio 5'6''? No way Jose, 5'3'' tops. Khali 6'11''. My opinion hasn't changed on Big Show, looked to me like he was wearing lifts. Now that's just me, I am NOT interested in getting drawn into any big debates about BS's height. ;)
kali said on 16/Sep/06
hey rey rey mysterio is 5'6 not 5'2 omg you cant mesure rey mysterio thickos he is mine foreva mwah got millions of pics of him
JK said on 16/Sep/06
HAHA, ''are u turning your back on me?'' is this a comedy or what, na seriously i think Khali is 7'3''
Paul said on 16/Sep/06
KingNick....You tried UT's shoes on...wow!
KingNick said on 16/Sep/06
I watched UT vs. Giant Gonzalez. Gonzalez I dont think had a lift but it looked like the soles of his shoes gave him an inch or two. I think they were trying to get him as close to 8ft as possible but I dont think he was 8ft in his shoes. I say 7'6" flat and 7'7.5" in the shoes he wore (keep in mind UT's shoes during that period didnt give me much height, .5" maybe).
Danimal said on 16/Sep/06
Viper, are you turning your back on me now that Cycklops is back. Tell me it ain't so? All I said was that Tazz was listed at 5'7" back in the ECW, so I highly doubt he's that tall. Think what you like.
Viper652 said on 15/Sep/06
Danimal says Tazz is no more than 5-4-5-5 Cyclops.
Cycklops said on 15/Sep/06
Tazz is 5'7" or so.

Singh 6-11.5...
Paul said on 14/Sep/06
well say Gonzales was 7'6-7. That would make him 90-91 inches tall. On dividing by 7.5 (about average), his head would be 12 inches or just over in length, and I would say 10 inches or so from mouth to the top of his head.
