Hulk hogan had lost slight height since 1979 to 1989 against tiny lister no holds barred. 1 inch. Tiny lister was believed to of been taller than ft6,5 and then you have got to look at the monster lifts he was wearing himself. You talk about hogans boots. It wouldn,t suprise me if tiny lister had 3 inch moster lifts.

@Daniel reynolds. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, as we all have our own. Most of us here on this sight are really out for the truth about celebrities actual heights, and we use late afternoon/early evening as the standard. There really is no evidence that I have seen that supports Hogan ever being anything over Robs listed peak height. Most regular posters on Hogan believe he was closer to 6'5" than 6'6", while some have a decent argument suggesting he was no more than 6'4.5" barefoot. Arguments are based off of personal sightings, video and pictures that usually have other people or objects of a known height for comparison. So you can argue/debate all you want, but no one here is going to take "well Terry's said his Mom once measured him at 6'7" as any kind of proof, when so much more evidence suggests he wasn't. So find some kind of plausible proof for a decent argument and people might take it into consideration for how tall they think Hogan was at his peak.

@Daniel reynolds You said your "Terry" was wearing shoes on Carson, not boots... No, he was wearing cowboy boots w/ a big heel...

Your posts are basically the same rant over and over again and it's getting real old, real fast. Almost as old as your "Terry."
P.S. Carson was max 5'10.5" peak height, not 5'11".
Daniel reynolds said on 9/Apr/19
I don,t understand how this sight gives celebs real height. But it does sound odd with certain celebs. I don,t understand how this sight can be so sure unless it was reveiled by all known celebs. Every sight has different measurements when you look which is my point. I don,t know if you guys are stats guys for real or just fans that put in votes. But my point is how can anyone really be controdicted on their true height in their prime if they give it you and they have been measured at a certain height. It,s like me. I,m ft5,10 for real, but i guess you may as well just say i,m ft5,8 for a fact not ft5,10. When it comes to 1.5 inches. It is rather hard to compare to perfection especially when we are looking at times a distance, not being too close. Or different postures and angles. If we are talking 3_4 inches i do agree. But it,s looking at terry in his prime that stuns me as apposed to 2000. A noticeable difference in height and still wearing lifts anyway. I just can,t see how this sight can be so accurate over someones stating of their prime height. Is it on the harsh side with certain people not always trufthful, i don,t know. Forget what other people will say that have met celebs. But if they haven,t measured that person in their prime then it is really easy to be 1.5 inches off target especially when you are looking at a big guy in his prime.

I'm not sure where CelebHeights I state heights as being 'facts' or 'truths'...it would be a bit silly to claim the heights were facts!
CelebHeights is an entertainment and trivia website estimating the heights of famous people. It's on every page in the footer (in bold): "Heights are barefeet estimates". π
Except my own height, that's certainly a fact π€©
Canson said on 9/Apr/19
@Johan 185: I agree with you and thatβs the most I could conceivably see for Hulk was 6β5.5. I wouldβve said something along those lines myself (6β6 out of bed 6β5.25 at a low) and Taker 6β8/6β8.25 out of bed 6β7.25 at a low). It was a difference of 1.5-2β between them I agree. I could buy Robβs listing for Taker but not any higher whereas 6β6β seems high for Hulk as is and 6β7β just outlandishly high. He would make that in boots in the afternoon perhaps but the boots would be around 1.5β+
Canson said on 9/Apr/19
@Dan Trojan: well said! And the sources on this site who claim the same arenβt very credible themselves.
Daniel reynolds said on 9/Apr/19
I guess we can agree to disagree on this topic. I do believe some wrestlers have fake heights but not all. I am going by everybidys stats on the web. Not just terry. Daley thompson, marilyn monroe, nat king cole, sugar ray robinson. All sorts of people. I am not going by this sight because i just don,t feel this sight in particular does give an accurate height of everybody. It,s rather shy should i say. Some yes. But i really do think the only way we would of known terrys true height would of been by measuring him ourselves bare foot when he was in his late 20,s. I am rather puzzled by daley thompsons height also. I was a great fan of daley and some sights have listed daley at ft6,0 and some i have come across ft6,2. I reckon this sight would of given daley ft6,0 in his prime.
RP said on 9/Apr/19
Daniel, Terry had on 1.75β black dress boots when on the 1982 Johnny Carson Show. Carson was close to 5β11β at his youthful peak. However, by 1982 his was only in the low 5β10βsβ at best. 5β10β to 5β10-1/4β....his peak height was 5β10-3/4β...IMO Bro, accept it! Terry was only 6β5β & Change barefoot at his peak (20βs up to his mid 30βs)

I swear this daniel reynolds guy seems to believe in wwe billed heights lol the heights in wrestling are just as fake as wrestling itself
Daniel reynolds said on 9/Apr/19
Dwayne johnson is noticeably shorter than he was around 2000. I can notice that and it has also been mentioned that he is shrinking. If ever you did watch him against stone cold steve austin in years like 2000, 20001, 2002 on RAW and smackdown back then he was considerably taller and steve austin was ft6,2. You tell me how it is alot of wrestlers do lose height as they get older obviously with age also. Some like terry had untold ops on their backs, necks and all sorts. Terry has a curbed spine through wrestelling and age. He had 2 discs removed from his spine. Are you really going to tell me he lost only 2 inches in height due to his injures over all these years with ops on his neck and back also. He can,t even stand up straight nowadays. Look at him in late 1970,s nothing alike. I just think you are off with heights in general and how can you be so sure with everyones exact height. Have you met these people in their primes. I take it marilyn monroe lied about her height of ft5,5 also then. Going back to what ronster said like me also. Terrys mum MEASURED him bare foot from toe to head and came up with ft6,7 in his 20,s is she lying. Can you prove that. It makes me feel good when people say hogan was ft6,3 but lied about his height of ft6,4 in the 2000,s. Which proves those people wrong also. Look at terry with big bill anderson ft6,4 and james buster douglas ft6,4 also These guys were ft6,4. Take a look at terrys noticeable height difference.
Canson said on 8/Apr/19
First of all The Rock was never 6β5β. He was max 6β3β likely less at his peak. Thatβs why you believe hulk was 6β7β because you believe what these guys claim. Rock is also much younger than Hogan so he wouldnβt have lost 3β in height yet. Heβs 6β2β today. A 6β4-6β5 Charles Barkley dispels the Rockβs 6β5β myth. We arenβt talking height in lifts/boots or even regular shoes. Barefoot heights are what we are discussing here
Daniel reynolds said on 8/Apr/19
The pic i saw of terry shaking hands with johny carson wasn,t great though. If you watch the video click of terry on the johny carson show 1982. The click lasts about 10 minutes. When you see terry standing up straight he actually towers johny carson who actually was ft5,11 and terry was wearing shoes not boots in that video click. Carson looked to of come up to terrys chin. Which points out what i was saying about stallone face off with terry in rocky 3 and what i ask about the height from chin to top of head.
Canson said on 8/Apr/19
you just said Stallone? The same Sylvester Stallone who lies about his own height and wears lifts. There goes his credibility. But What about Tiny Lister and Jesse Ventura saying Hulk is 6β5β? If anything their word is more credible being they were in the same sport, were friends with him, and spent considerably much more time around him. Stallone would say the Rock is 6β5β as well if Rock told him that. Again just because Hulk βallegesβ to have measured 6β7β does not mean that in fact he did nor does it mean he did so barefoot. The funniest part is that most people lie up about their height and wrestling inflates all of their stars
Johan 185 cm said on 8/Apr/19
@ Daniel reynolds
Yes Mark was 2 inches taller than Terry, in Suburban Commando as well ( Mark was a bounty hunter) it was the same kind of difference as in street clothes. You can't really go with ring gear as the boot thickness could vary greatly.
I have Hulk at 6'5.5" peak and Mark at 6'7.5" peak.
Today Terry seems to have regained some height as he appears 6'3" while a few years ago he looked more 6'2" range because of his knees and poor posture.
Mark still looked 6'6" range next to a poster here who reliably looked the 6'6" that he claimed. Ali Baba was also correct about Tyler Mane so i am inclined to believe him as they are almost the same height.

Looked close to 3β taller than Brutus Beefcake during an interview with the two over the weekend @ WrestleMania WWE Hall of Fame ceremonies.
Daniel reynolds said on 8/Apr/19
If you were ever wondering why terry look so big in that ring in rocky 3. Well just look at his sheer size anyway back then akong with the boots he was wearing and that ring wasn,t small. A descent sized ring which looked small because of a mountain of a guy standing in it. When we look up famous people heights, when it gives you there height it is going by the heights when that person was at the very best in time. Either at that point in time when they are at their best or when they are well over the hill and in retirement. Terry is ft6,2 today, but when ever you do look up his stats it gives you ft6,7/2.01m. That,s going by when his was at his ultimate best. Marilyn monroe was only ft5,5/1.65m i thought she was taller ft5,7. I always believed frank sinatra was a good ft6,0. But i was shocked to of found out he was only ft5,7.5/ft5,8 in his younger years. My point is, some people are taller than we think and some are shorter. I mentioned dwayne johnson. Dwayne in 2000/2001 those years was indeed ft6,5. Nowadays he is ft6,3/ ft6,3.5. It,s sad. I am a big fan if dwayne. But there,s another wrestler that has lost height along with terry, kane, mark calloway .

Ft6,7.2/5 morning hogan 1980 out of bed and ft6,7 hogan evening 1980 sounds bang on target to me.
Daniel reynolds said on 7/Apr/19
Hear is a very interesting point on this topic. Something i did manage to find out for myself and you don,t have to believe this. in rocky 3 the film itself the ring announcer said standing nearly ft7,0 an incredible sight. You mentioned nearly ft7,0 being ft6,11 which wasn,t announced. But it could of meant ft6,9/ ft6,10. Well terry prowling around in his corner actually stood ft6,8.5 wearing the 1.25 inches boots you pointed out. So being ft6,8.5 in that ring take away the boots he was wearing gives you his exact height which is what i knew ft6,7. Stallone was no less than ft5,10 bare foot. stallone was ft5,11 in that ring wearing his boots. that is something i know for sure. Now if you take terrys boots off you have to take stallone boots off also. There wasn,t a foot difference in height. I could see that. If you look up terry shaking hands with big bill anderson who was ft6,4 in a photo in the 1980,s there looked to be a good 3/4 inch difference in height in that pic in terrys favour. Look at his best pics not his worst and see for yourself. It,s all well and good to look at the pics you want to look at but in terrys case if there are not so good pics then there are very good ones also. I do agree with you though and i will admit that terry in the mid 90,s 2000 + years terry was no more than ft6,5 bare foot. That was very noticeable yes. But dwayne johnson has lost height also. If you look at dwayne in 2001 for example he was ft6,5 then and is about ft6,3/ft6,3.5 nowadays. But mark calloway was taller in the early 90,s ft6,9 now ft6,6.5/ft6,7 or there abouts. But if you took mark early 90,s and compare terrys height early 80,s mark would of been 1.5/2 inches taller than terry. I think you would agree with that.

---------------------------------------
I saw Undertaker at the YMCA in the mid 90's. I didn't get a chance to stand right next to him, but I did stand fairly close to Crush who I saw interact with taker. Crush seemed in the 6'5" range and I don't think taker was more than 2" taller. I did not get them impression that Undertaker was as tall as a 6'9" co worker at the time either.

Canson said on 7/Apr/19
So I guess if Terry says heβs 6β7 then he is. That means that the Rock must also be 6β5. Uhh common sense the Rock was no higher than 6β2.5-6β3 peak and Hogan 6β5-6β6. Wrestlers lie about their heights all the time. If Hulk were 6β7 then he would be listed at that here not 6β6β

I believe mark edged terry both at their very brst in heights. I don,t know if you would agree. Was mark taller than terry both at their very best. Yes or no.

Daniel reynolds said on 6/Apr/19
Terry had lost height in wrestlemania 1991 againsr mark. When i say mark obviously i mean mark calloway the undertaker. Mark was no less than ft6,9. Forget ft6,7. I am talking ultimate prime. Mark was billed as ft6,10. Now if his was ft6,10 true height, in 1991 which he may well of been for all we know. Then that surley proves another point. Does mark look ft6,7 1991. No, he looks more.!!! Just take a very good look at mark in the ring. Mark may well of lost height over the years as terry certainly did for sure. They looked almost the same height. I would give mark 2.5 inches taller than terry then. But as i have mentioned terry did lose height then. If you were looking at terry and mark at there very best you would of been looking at a 1.5_2 inch height advantage to mark. I won,t dismiss mark was taller for sure.
62B said on 6/Apr/19
@Daniel Reynolds. All I can tell you for certain is that in 1980 Hogan was not 3" taller than my 6'4" Grandfather when he stopped right in front of us. There was really very little difference between them. Hogan had about an inch on my Grandfather and that is it.
Daniel reynolds said on 6/Apr/19
Look at big van vador ft6,5 v terry hulk hogan on youtube late 1980,s around 1989 face to face and you will see the difference in height there. A good 2 inches in terrys favour. Terrys was shorter then than in 1979.!!! Take a look.
Daniel reynolds said on 6/Apr/19
I urge you to look at terrys younger days late 20,s in the late 1970,s not the mid 90,s plus and look at his very best pics not his worst and post them instead of his worst pics. For example terry when he was holding his arms aloft in the air with james buster douglas who was ft6,4 and look at the difference in size. James buster douglas was a big man ft6,4 and he made michael tyson look very small indeed. Michael was ft5,11.5 and he was built like an ox. Even michael wasn,t small. You can continue posting terrys worst pics and try to convince me. Forget it. Look at the pic with terry shaking hands with big bill anderson ft6,4. Look at terry with donald trump ft6,3.5 a big man in his younger days and how he towered christopher loyd actually ft6,1 yes in deed. The fact that he lost height to andre by 5 inches makes me feel happy, because andre was no less than ft7,0. Even vince macmahan said andre was at least ft7,0 no less and as for vince macmahon, he was a good ft6,2 when he was speaking with andre the giant and terry hulk hogan with terrys trainer outside the ring on wrestlemania 1980. I go back to you saying dolph lundren was ft6,3. No he was ft6,5 and noticeably shorter than terry when you look at their face off pics. So you did get your heights wrong there. Look at big van vador ft6,5 facing terry in the centre of the ring around 1989 on youtube. There is a noticeable 2 inches in terrys favour and we are not even looking at terry 1979 1 inch shorter. Do yourself a favour and ask terry how tall he was and he will tell you himself ft6,7. I am not interester in bad pics. As for mark calloway he was infact ft6,9 at his very best, not ft6,7 as you pointed out!!
Daniel reynolds said on 6/Apr/19
Jusr because someone says they are ft6,7 and they have been measured bare foot ft6,7. Doesn,t mean they are ft6,5 and it can,t possibly mean they are ft6,5 either. Try and make sense and try to get your head around this. Slyvester stallone even mentioned terry was a good ft6,7 himself. Now there is a man that did work along side terry. I am never going to change your mind and you are never going to change my mind either. Do you possibly think i would respond to this like this if i knew i was completely wrong.??? No. Forget other guesses. I did my research a long time ago now. Terry was no less than ft6,7. I am not just saying this because i was a big fan, but because i could see the difference with other well known people along side him also. Try and pick out terrys best pics and you will see my point. I promise you.!!!

Sugar ray robinson ft5,11 / 1.80m. John wayne was ft6,4 / 1.93m. Everyone has stats. True stats when you type in their height it gives it to you simply because their heights are on record.

Of course you have got to be so right. Let?s work this out. If you have been measured bare foot. I repeat for the 10th time MEASURED from toe to top of head at ft6,7 then of course you have got to be ft6,5.now why dodn,t i think of that when i was a kid. I always believed terry was ft6,8 for all these years. MEASURED bare foot 6,7+ equals ft6,5 yes. I just wish i had got my head around this a long time ago. That box i saw it in terrys corner in rocky 3 itself when he was prowling around the ring in the film. Did you see it in the film itself. I did. All these years. No there is no proof his was ft6,5. Hogan was ft6,7 and stallone was ft5,10. As for the pic with terry looking down on stallone in the ring, that was his correct height. Don,t fool yourself. There was a big difference in now. If there wasn,t then hogan would of been ft6,2-ft6,3. Which doesn,t make any sense. Put 2 and 2 together. I wonder how many people on this planet would agree with you or me.!!!???

@Ronster: I meant to say in my opinion. My bad
Canson said on 5/Apr/19
@RP: I always saw 1.5-2β between he and Taker. If Hogan were really 6β7β then Taker would be 6β9 almost. A peak Taker was no taller than Rob lists him and perhaps .5β less or 1/4β if talking a low. But 6β7-6β7.5 possible and 6β5.5 for Hulk possible at best imho. Remember We also saw Michael Strahan day on TV a couple weeks ago when Kobe walked on the set that he was measured 6β4.75 barefoot when we know heβs not. Strahan messured 6β4.25 at the combine which is earlier in the day and kobeβs Wife measured him 6β4.75. Kobe can look the full 6β5β but that doesnβt look any different from 6β4.75 especially if a guy is wearing a shoe that adds 1.25β or has an orthotic. Someone throwing out a βpreciseβ number like that means nothing. Hogan likely was 6β7β with shoes or near that mark or mismeasured. Now since Rob lists him 6β6β Iβll leave the door slightly open and say that he couldβve been a near 200 out of bed if we really want to believe that. I can see him having lost 2+ in his life but not 4β. Heβs only 6β3β today. Iβll leave a wider door open for 6β5.5 at a low or 197 range since he did look that often
Daniel reynolds said on 5/Apr/19
You have picked the worst possible pics. Very well done. All the pics you have chose to pic out yourself. Terrible angles. Your probably not a hulk fan if you are picking out the worst pics. As for the pic with terry standing on the platform the platform looked about 4 inches high which still doesn,t add up his true height. It was a very bad pic and stallone did come up to terrys chest in that photo. Stallone was closer to the camera and the angle was like you were a spectator in the front row. That platform was used for a photo shoot only. There is a pic of stallone coming up to hogans chest when he was standing on the platform and stallone looking straight up. You can find this pic with the photo shoot showing the left side of them instead of the right. Obviously when you saw hogan in the actual film itself they didn,t use the platform. We didn,t see hogan walk from his corner and just stand on the box in rocky 3 itself. It was purely a photo shoot. Stallones height was ft5,10 and they were both wearing big heels. Why not pic out terrys best pics like the pics i have mentioned with christopher loyd and donald trump who was a big man and vince macmahan in the andre years We can all fool ourselves and others if we want to.!!!

I was replyed dolph lundren was ft6,3 in rocky 4 and both lundren and hogan were standing on boxes in face offs in both rocky 3 and rocky 4. I am so glad you replyed saying lundren was ft6,3 back then. Because he was ft6,5 and i always knew that. Which proves my point about the face offs. Hogan was taller than lundren if you look at the face off pics. If they are both standing on a platform the same height or even the same platform then i am completely right. You clearly got your heights wrong with both lundren and hogan. If lundren was ft6,3 then i would agree terry would of been no more that ft6,5.5. I hope this is a very good point taken because you still haven,t proved to me terry was ft6,5.5 1980. Because as i have mention alot he was measured bare foot ft6,7. So with lundren being ft6,5 there we have it.

In rocky 3 when your saw that gootage of terry hulk hogan and stallone. The top yellow ring ropes came up the terrys waist when you saw him prowling around in his corner and those girls in his corner weren,t short by any means.
Daniel reynolds said on 5/Apr/19
I have never heard hogan mention his was ft6,5 and i have watched WWF wrestling since 1984. I always know he was around ft6,8. But i will never change my mind now. Not after 35 years 1984. If you did read his comment at the top of this page his mentioned his was ft6,7 bare foot. Lou ferrigno wasft6,5 himself in 1982 and terry was taller by a couple of inches. So how do you prove he was ft6,5 if he never mentioned it and was measured ft6,7 from toe to head. Where does ft6,8 get mentioned on his height. Of course billed height. But some wrestlers have billed heights of true and actual heights. Some are incorrect some are not. Terrys prime height was pretty much on the money
Kevin hash billed height was ft6,10 and kevin nash in his prime was in fact ft6,10. So billed heights can be there true heights also.

I have looked at the links you described. But it stll doesn,t prove i am wrong. You can,t prove higan was ft6,5 1980 because he never said he was. Other people may of said he was, but that still doesn,t prove anything. With them guessing and his mum measuring him from toe bare feet to top of head is surely accurate. The pic with him standing on the box makes stallone come up to terrys chest and looking straight up at him the other pic is as accurate on ground as you can get. Where stallone comes up to hogans neck. The same height ad when they were walking to the centre of the ring. Stallone came up to hogans neck. The pic you are showing is a pic where stallone does come up to hogans chest when hogan was standing on the box. Not the other pic. That was filming. If you look at hogans height in that footage are you really going to tell me he isn,t slightly more than ft6,5.5.???
Canson said on 4/Apr/19
What Sotiris said is correct. Just because someone says theyβre 6β7β doesnβt mean it. Magic also says heβs 6β9β but heβs 6β7β range barefoot which his own coach Pat Riley even said
RP said on 4/Apr/19
Sotiris! Ahhh yes! Thereβs the pic. 5β box, plus, Thunderlips has at least a 1β footwear advantage over Rocky. Bringing the total boosted height to approximately 6β in the staredown.
Daniel reynolds said on 4/Apr/19
Hogan wasn,t standing on a box in that pic i,m sorry. Throughout that fight seen terry towered over stallone by the same height. I have looked at that pic for donkeys years and watched the footage many times over and i know full well. As for big heels, stallone was wearing the same footwear as terry. They weren,t big heels. When you look at hogan with christopher loyd walking along the footpath i take it terry most of been walking on a box then. Look at the height difference. When you see him tower above muhammad ali and donald trump i take it he must of been standing on a 6 inch box in those pics also. Look at the height differences. As for this box that was suppossedly 5_6 inches high that would of make terry ft7ft plus in that pic which he wasn,t. He looked ft6,7 so if you take away this box that makes him ft6,2 at very best.??? That can,t be right. No way.!!! I don,t buy it i,m sorry. Ft6,7. No more no less. You can,t change my mind. I have known for years since i was about 9 terry was about ft6,8. But i know full well ft6,7.
RP said on 4/Apr/19
@ Canson, correct!
Peak Hogan was somewhere between 6β5.25β to 6β5.5β...with 6β5.75β being possible. Although I think 6β5.75β would be a morning measurement for Hogan. And 6β5.25β evening...IMO.
Dan Trojan said on 4/Apr/19
Nice pic there sotiris i always knew there was something off about that staredown between hogan and stallone because hogan being 6'5" and stallone being 5'9" there's no way there would be that much height difference between them plus now that i look at it you can kinda tell he was standing on a box
Canson said on 4/Apr/19
@Ronster: Taker was never 6β8β and Hogan was never 6β7β. The absolute most would be what Rob lists them but most will argue that Hogan at his peak was 6β5β range as he actually once admitted to being and what Tiny Lister also said he was along with Jesse Ventura.
RP said on 4/Apr/19
Gravas! Great find of Carson & Arness! Carson appears to come up to bottom of both menβs noses. Give or take 1/4β...but, Iβm sure 57 year old Johnny was slightly shorter than 30 year old Johnny. Iβd guess at least a 1/2β ?? So, it would be realistic to sssume that peak James Arness was 3/4β taller than peak Hulk Hogan? Assuming their cowboy boots are close to equal ?? Johnnyβs footwear was likely your standard 1β dress shoes in both photos.
Daniel reynolds said on 4/Apr/19
I just never came acroos there box that would of been about 6 inches high. Hogan looked no more than ft6,8 /ft6,7.5 in rocky 3. But you could see his true height when he was in the ring. The point i am trying to get at is, hogan was looking down on stallone in rocky 3 when you say that stallone came up the terrys lips. But terry wasn,t even standing straight up thats why stallone came up to hogans lips
Because he was looking down on stallone. If hogan was looking straight ahead when you stand straight up stallone would of come up to terrys neck not lips. So stallone being ft5,10 my height. I have got mates ft6,5 and i come up to there lips if they stand straight up. If magic johnson was ft6,9 then he may of been if he said so. But if you have been measured and your ft6,7 then you can,t been ft6,5 unless you bend slightly. You can,t say your ft6,5 if you have been measured and your ft6,7. Thats the proof in the pudding. Saying is 1 thing but by measured as proof is another. Can you see my point.!!!
Daniel reynolds said on 4/Apr/19
I have watched rocky 3 many many times and looking at hogan walking around the ring i didn,t see any box at all. He was walking around the ring at the same height. He was around 9 inches taller than stallone not 12 and nearly ft7,0 could mean ft6,9. It doesn,t have to mean ft6,11 and ft6,11 wasn,t announced But you could see the height comparison. There looked no more than 9_10 inches difference. Hogan didn,t look ft6,11 no way. I look at other pics. I go back to andre the giant ft7,0.5 true height. He was 5 inches taller than terry, no more. When you look at hogan in a ring in his prime i can definately see he is more than ft6,5. Not by much but he is. He towerred muhammad ali by a good 4 inches and was alot taller than christophen loyd at6,0.5. I look at lennox lewis ft6,5 hulk was taller for sure at his best. Just look at his prime pics to see it for yourself. Donald trump ft6,3.5 in his prime and looking at terry standing next to him and andre the giant terry towered donald trump.
Daniel reynolds said on 4/Apr/19
For the record mark calloway was in fact ft6,9 in his prime terry in 1991 was ft6,6 in 1991 when he lost to the undertaker in 1991. But hogan had lost slight height since 1979 1 inch. If anyone knows how many inches a skull is. Let,s take hulk hogans skull from neck to top of head. Lets said at least 9 inches. I have done my very best to back up my claim on hogan and i know i have. I have followed him in WWF since 1980,s and i have seen a huge transformation. If your in doubt why don,t you ask terry hulk hogan how tall he was in his hay day and i will garantee you he will tell you himself and say ft6,7 no more no less.!!
Daniel reynolds said on 4/Apr/19
Stallone in his prime was ft5,10 just like myself. I would of come up to terry hulk hogan neck if he was standing straight up instead of looking down on me. So he would of gained those few inches back by standing up right. I met a fella a couple of weeks ago and he told me he was ft6,10 bare foot. I came up to the bottom of his neck. So there is no reason for me to believe that terry hulk hogan wasn,t a good ft6,7 in late 1970,s i have no shred of doubt in my mind. I met a fella that was ft6,8 yesterday. I came up to his neck. If anyone remembers big van vador. He was ft6,5. If you look at him against terry on youtube you will see terry is taller and we aren,t even looking at a peak hulk hogan. Terry looked taller than ft6,5 to me in the early 1980,s. He was approximetly 4.5 inches taller than muhammad ali who did stand at ft6,3 1985. So how do you come up with ft6,5 in his prime. It makes no sense at all. Terry at his best would of been slightly taller than lennox lewis ft6,5.
Daniel reynolds said on 4/Apr/19
Hulk hogan did say he was measured in his prime at ft6,7 bare foot not ft6,5 he never said his was ft6,5 at his very best. How is it terrible logic.??? It can only make perfect sense. I,m ft5,10 bare foot, why would anyone contredict me on my own height. Hulk hogan lost around 1 inch in height every 10 years. So now he,s about ft6,2.5. But look at the surgeries he has had over the years. Not to mention all the knocks he has had as a wrestler. If he repeatedly said he was ft6,7 bare foot why would he lie. What to make himself sound superior.!!!

@Sotiris: well said!
RONSTER said on 3/Apr/19
Canson, Taker was over 6β8β when he first came to the WWF not 6β7β. And he had the older and already almost an inch shorter Hogan at the time by less than 2β as any photo of them shows. When Hogan came back in 2002 Taker was under 6β7β after 15 years taking bumps and still had less than 2β on Hogan who was still over 6β5β easily. All this 6β5β garbage is silly. There is a page that has been shared here before with unaltered photos of Hogan with celebs of known height and he always was 6β7β in the 80βs. All the usual posters on multiple pages here so is use altered pictures or the ones with his poor posture, tilted angles favoring the people around him and when you show them proof otherwise all the sudden the people around Hogan are instantly inches shorter as well lol. Itβs so transparent, Hogan has spun yarns when talking as Hulk Hogan and thatβs when he will say AndrΓ© was 700lbs, or that he was 6β9β, but as himself Terry has consistently said the exact same that his Mom measured him like she measured everyone who came into her house barefoot against a wall with a ruler at over 6β7β in his 20βs.

@RP: the Logic is a bit poor. βJust because Hulk says heβs 6β7 he isβ is what I gathered. Rob would be very unlikely to underlist someone. If anything it would be the opposite which is likely the case here as he was not 6β6β at a low. Although 6β6 is more believable than 6β7β
Canson said on 2/Apr/19
If youβre 6β5β then youβre not 6β7β. Hulk was never 6β7β barefoot. That is terrible logic when you believe someoneβs claim with no proof to back it up. Taker was 6β7β and had Hulk by 1.5-2β

Note:
With the box, Stallone came up to the bottom of Hoganβs neck...just slightly above his clavicle. Without the box, Stallone came up to Hoganβs lips.
Someone produced that photo of the box on this site a couple of years ago. Dang, I wish we could find it again!!!
RP said on 2/Apr/19
Daniel Reynolds,
There are photos taken by film crew staff during the filming of Rock 3. It shows during the face off, Hogan was standing on a small wooden platform. It looked to be About 4β to 5β tall, maybe as much as 6β tall?...And itβs width was about 12β x 12β. Itβs because they were attempting to make Thunderlips look 6β11β.
Remember, he was billed @ βnearlyβ seven feet tall & 390 lbs!
Hogan was 6β5β & Change...6β5.75β (tops) barefoot & 305 lbs when he filmed Rocky 3. The character Rocky was written as a 5β11β & 202 lbs boxer...Thunderlips character was written to be 6β11β & 390 lbs....they were simply attempting to make Thunderlips look one foot taller than Rocky during the staredown.
Canson said on 1/Apr/19
@Sean R: if 6β5.5 was his low he would be about 6β6.25 out of bed I agree. But I think his mother mismeasured or did it with shoes. I donβt rule out something similar to what you said. I personally say 6β6 out of bed and 6β5.25 at a low
Daniel reynolds said on 1/Apr/19
It,s not terrible lgic at all. If your ft6,7 your not ft6,5.
Space said on 1/Apr/19
@ sean r
Hogan at 6β6β is significantly taller than Randy Orton. I just canβt see 80s Hogan looking down at a real 6β3.75β-6β4β Orton. Especially when Hogan was alittle shorter than Orton in the 2000s.
Iβll give 80s Hogan 6β4 2/3β barefoot at the max just so we can compromise.
Daniel reynolds said on 1/Apr/19
All of a sudden he was always ft6,7 in the late 1970,s 1980,s he did lose height as time progessed in 1990,s. But if he was measured at ft6,7 barefoot then how the hell could he of been ft6,5. Make head or tail of that. It,s almost like saying 4x4 equals 14 not 16. He was measured at ft6,7 and then get listed as being ft6,5. He repeated himself he was ft6,7 in his prime. Never mind want some wrestlers may of said. Different camera angles make people look different heights. Some people may look at a guy for example and say he,s ft6,3 when he could be ft6,4.5. Hogan wouldn,t of lied about his true height. For what. What do you gain out of it. Andre the giant was ft7,0.5 1980. He was 5 inches taller than terry hulk hogan then.
Daniel reynolds said on 1/Apr/19
Hogan never did say he was ft6,5 anyway. I have never heard him mention that before in any interview.
Daniel reynolds said on 1/Apr/19
All of a sudden hulk hogan was always ft6,7 in the late 1970,s-1980,s. He did start losing a bit of height due to heavy knocks and surgeries over the years. But when people say he was ft6,5 then everyone believe it and says it also. Betwwen 1980 and 1990 he had lost about 1 inch. But obviously now he,s anout ft6,2.5. It,s very said because i grow up watching him and andre and all the others. But hogans peak height was when you see him and andre with vince macmahan and hogans trainer having a debate outside the ring in wrestlemania 1980. Vince was ft6,2 back then.
SeanR said on 31/Mar/19
HH at peak was 6β5.5β. With wrestling boots made him 6β7β. Now itβs possible in the AM when he woke up measured 6β6.25β and with what hair he had made him 6β7β, that I can see being possible. Hogan nowadays has difficulty being at 6β3β with all the back knee hip issues. Plus heβs knees are always bent.
Daniel reynolds said on 31/Mar/19
Terry hulk hogan said he was measured at ft6,7.5 at his very best barefoot repeatedly. So with that being the case he was ft6,7.5 i found out that terry was infact ft6,7.5 barefoot. I believe that and nothing else. If your ft6,7 your not going to be measured at ft6,5. I,m ft5,11, i,m not going to say i,m ft5,11 if i am ft5,9. For what. Andre the gians real height was ft7,0.5 no more no less i found that out. Muhammad ali was ft6,3 no less in 1980,s. He may well of been ft6,2 in his later years in life. But terry hulk hogan was a good 4 inches taller than muhammad ali. So people may not be able to tell the difference between a guy ft6,7 and ft6,5 in a ring. Andre the giant was 4.5 inches taller than terry hulk hogan in 1980. So there you have their real and nothing but true heights. I rest my case. People can say what they want to. Terry hulk hogan was measured at ft6,7.5. People can continued saying what they want to. I am looking at terry 1980 not 1995.!!
Daniel reynolds said on 31/Mar/19
If hogan was standing on a box in rocky 3 faceoff which he wasn,t that would of made him about ft6,0 not ft6,7. Lets say this invisable box would make you 7 inches taller than you really are. Honestly.!!!
Daniel reynolds said on 31/Mar/19
Absolute nonsence. Lundren was ft6,5 and hogan was ft6,7. Stallone didn,t come up to hogan lip he came up to hogan neck. Hogan was lioking down on stallone so there for he was losing about 2-3 inches by doing that and i never saw hogan standing on any box in rocky 3. He walked from his corner to the centre of the ring. He didn,t walk from his corner and then just stood on a box. For what. Absolute balls. There is no footage of that. Watch rocky 3 again and you can see the huge difference in height a good 9-10 inches no less. Stallone was ft5,10.

Both Lundgren and Hogan were standing on boxes in Rocky faceoffs. Dolph admitted it and the photo with Hogan on a box was posted here.

Canson said on 25/Mar/19
So just because βHogan said that he was 6β7β means that he was all of a sudden? And because he said he was measured at that means that he βwas measured like everyone elseβ? Thatβs terrible logic to assume that they guy was 6β7β especially when guys who wrestled with and knew him came out such as Tiny Lister and Jesse Ventura and said he was 6β5β
RP said on 25/Mar/19
Daniel Reynolds,
Peak Clay aka Ali was 6β2-5/8β (74.625β)
Ali in 1985 was down to about 6β2β flat...maybe 6β2-1/4β
Dolph was 6β4β, not 6β5β...possibly even only 6β3-3/4β true & accurate afternoon barefoot measurement. Stallone actually came up to Hoganβs lips when they werenβt using that box or trick camera angles.

@Space: Hogan would likely have edged Orton by no less than 3cm at their peak heights. More than likely it was around 4cm. I doubt Orton is a full 6β4 though

The people that are writing these messages saying terry was no more then ft 6,4.5 are talking absolute e. Terry did say himself he was ft6,7 barefoot and was measured like we all are. These people are looking at terry in 2000, not 1980. I am looking at him then. He was 4.5inches taller than muhammad ali who was ft6,3 no less and he was taller than dolph lundren by 2 inches who was ft6,5 no less. Stallone came up to terrys neck in rocky 3 and he wasn,t even standing straight up lokking down on stallone. Stallone came up the dolph lundrens lip i rocky 4 and lundren was standing up straight. Look at it and come compare. Stallone was ft5,10 for the record in the 1980,s. I rest my case.!!!

@Space: to add to that I doubt Orton is even a legit 6β4β. I know Vegas said he saw him in person before and saw another legit 6β4β wrestler in his midst and said that Orton looked slightly shorter. Generally Orton looks weak 6β4β 6β3.5-6β3.75 at times. I also agree Hogan was not 6β6β peak. Iβve only thrown that number out because of Rob listed him that way but heβs a bit overlisted peak Iβd say 6β5-6β5.5 not 6β6 but today itβs close to the listing at 6β3β. I wouldnβt argue against his current listing
Canson said on 23/Mar/19
Next to Andre in his peak, I could see why Rob listed him 6β6β but the question is how tall was Andre? I doubt he was ever 7β0β and to be honest could look 6β10β range before he died. Hogan in the strong 6β5 range peak and 6β3 today still fit
62B said on 22/Mar/19
Can't remember if I posted this ever
Click Here Most people agree that Rick Rude was in the 6'3" range. Hogan looks to be a solid 6'5" even if Rude was a little under 6'3". To me it doesn't look like Hogan had a boot advantage.

@ Space...checkout the Wrestlemania Media day photo with Hogan, Orton, Cena, HHH & a few others on stage from 2016 I do believe? Hogan & Orton were the exact Same Height !!! And Hogan was 62 years old. Peak Hogan wouldβve been possibly 2β to 1.75β taller than Randy Orton. If footwear was equal? 1987 Hulk Hogan 6β5-1/4β vs 2010 Randy Orton 6β3-1/2β
Jimhopper said on 22/Mar/19
Was shorter than big boss man in wwf years. I hugely doubt he was over 6-5 prime. Used 1.5β lifts in boots to look close to 6-7. Now heβs under 6-3. About 6-2.5 in reality.
Space said on 22/Mar/19
Iβll give the great 1980s Hogan the benefit of the doubt and say if he happened to square up with todayβs Randy Orton, and he was taller than Orton, it would be a 1/2β at the most. So that would put Hogan at 6β4.5β absolute max.

@Canson Thanks. I actually had Campbell at 6'7.25" on a previous post, but didn't wanna make it seem like I was downgrading him.
RP said on 21/Mar/19
@ Duhon. A few things...peak Christopher Lloyd was 6β0-1/2β barefoot...he only cleared 6β1β in shoes. He may have been a flat 6β0β by 1989-1990 for suburban commando. Also, that sidewalk is slightly slopped for drainage/runofff purposes. I work in civil engineering and geotechnical engineering and we work with concrete a lot. Most sidewalks have a 1β to 1.5β slope for water drainage and run off. Look at both Christopher Lloydβs and Hoganβs two lead feet while walking. You can see Hoganβs is approximately 1.5β higher. Giving him the illusion of being 1.5β taller than what he actually is with Christopher Lloyd. Hogan does indeed look 6.5β taller than Lloyd in that pic at first glance. However, after you Factor in the sidewalk slope, heβs only 5β taller. So, a 6β0.5β Lloyd gives you a 6β5.5β Hogan...a 6β0β Lloyd (which I believe he was at this age in his life) gives you a 6β5β Hulk Hogan.
Canson said on 20/Mar/19
Vegas made a good point back in August. Hogan claimed something like a 2.5β height loss so maybe he measured something close to 6β5.5 and 6β3 or the former maybe earlier in the day and 6β3β today. Either way, I think Rob has him listed correctly today at around the 6β3β mark but 6β5 range at his peak. I could buy a hair over 6β3 or possibly even a solid 6β3 or a tiny hair under it. I donβt think he wouldβve been a solid 6β6 at a low which would essentially mean 6β7β out of bed but I could see something like 6β6 out of bed and 6β5.25 at a low as the sweet spot as it covers why he looked closer to 6β6β at times and why many such as Jessie V (as RP mentioned) said he was 6β5β.
Duhon said on 20/Mar/19
What's the explanation for why Hogan looks so much taller here than 6'1" (at the time) Christopher Lloyd?
Click Here
Canson said on 20/Mar/19
@RP: I agree with what Ventura said. 6β5 could mean as high as maybe 6β5.25 at a low perhaps
Canson said on 20/Mar/19
@Sotiris: Calais Campbell measured 6β7.75 at the combine so probably 6β7.25 at a low.
RP said on 20/Mar/19
@ Sotiris,
Underoath in court, at the steroid trials... Hogan said at his largest he was 310 lbs with 22β inch arms. Jesse Ventura also once said that he swore that at his his largest, Hulk Hogan was only 6β5β...300 lbs & his pythons were actually only 21.5β ?? I would say 21.5β is a pretty good guess.

John rogerson said on 19/Mar/19
All the people comparing and contrasting Hogan to the Undertaker need to realize that in 1990-1991 Hogan already lost height. Hogan faced Andre the Giant in Shea Stadium in 1979 so to get a peak height before wear and tear set in one has to go back to 1977. Peak height flat foot was no less than 6β6 and may have been 6β7 in 1977.
David Banner said on 19/Mar/19
@Space - finally another voice of reason along with @Sotiris
It really is hard for people that grew up with a larger than life Hulk Hogan, to concede that he was never close to his kayfabe billed height and weight. None of the WWE superstars were! Too many obvious examples show he was never over 6β4β-6β4.5β and certainly not over 280.
Lifts and customs boots and peoples word of mouth can produce strong make believe
Sotiris Gravas said on 19/Mar/19
@Space 100% agree. How big do you think his "pythons" really were...?
Canson said on 19/Mar/19
@Space: I think a peak Hogan was at least a full 6β5β but probably not 6β6β
Space said on 18/Mar/19
Hogan was 6β4.5β 275-280lbs in his hay day. He was not 6β6β at all, and wasnβt 300+ lbs.
heβs only a strong 6β2β today despite popular belief

Terry hulk hhogan was ft6,7.5 in 1980 for the record bare foot, no more no less. Terry mentioned it himself. People guess ft6,5, but he was taller than dolph lundre who was ft6,5 no less in rocky 4 facing stallone in the centre of the ring. When terry was facing stallone in the centre of the ring, stallone came up to terrys neck and terry wasn,t even standing up straight facing down on slyvester stallone. Dolph lundren was standing up straight facing slyvester stallone in the centre of the ring in rocky 4 and stallone came up to lundrens lip.!!!
Canson said on 14/Mar/19
@Sotiris: a peak Hogan had to have been a legit 6β5β guy at minimum. He was not below that. In fact, He looked at times closer to 6β6β especially with Andre the Giant. While I donβt think he was quite that tall, I do agree with 62B that he was 6β5β range. His encounter with his Grandfather adds up with how Hogan would look with Tiny Lister. Tiny also called Hulk 6β5β. Absolute best case 6β5 and change. If you see pics of Undertaker with Hulk at their peaks, it was around 1.5-2β difference between them. 62Bβs encounter with Taker adds up with what Rob lists him give or take. Possible he lost height and was 6β7.25 maybe or that he was that when 62B met him or that he was 6β7β flat all along. Rob is more likely to have overlisted someone than underlisting them but either way a 6β7 or 6β7.25 Taker puts Hogan 6β5-6β5.5. He couldnβt have only been 6β4 or less peak
Sotiris Gravas said on 14/Mar/19
62B I noticed Studd's shoulders are higher, but body types vary and height is height. Not quite sure what you meant by Studd moving, making him look shorter. It doesn't appear as if he's slouching or momentarily ducking when shifting from side to side... Not sure about that.

@Sotiris. I still think Hogan always came out a little taller than Brody. I could see Hogan at 6'4.5" as an absolute low, but I still think a solid 6'5" would be a better listing. I think Studd wore lifts more often than not and maybe had Hogan by an inch barefoot.

I honestly think Studd was a 6'5" guy who often wore lifts. Definitely not more than 6'6". Hogan looked to be the same height as Bruiser Brody, who Stan Hansen said was 6'4". Brody was listed as 6'4" early on when he played football. I previously posted a pic of Hogan next to Stan out of the ring, no cowboy boots (footwear visible), to compare w/ Brody and Hansen... Hogan and Brody's height looked identical. Interestingly, Brody was billed as 6'8", same as Hogan at 6'7"and 6'8". I genuinely believe Hogan was never more than 6'4.5". And I do believe Jesse Ventura when he said Hogan wore lifts. Hogan almost always wore cowboy boots outside of the ring b/c he had to keep that 6'7" (6'8") kayfabe billed height alive.
Maybe Studd was really 6'5.5" peak height, 1" more than Hogan.

Hogan looks to be wearing the same type of boot Studd would often wear in the Rocky scene. In the Sly Studd picture Sly looks to be wearing lifts and Studd looks to have a more normal boot. Hogan was a solid 6'5" guy when I saw him, unless he was wearing lifts. I admit that I used to think Studd could have hit 6'7", but now it seems barefoot he was probably 6'6" at the most.

@Ronster: Iβm 37. However, with Hogan, Rob lists him 6β6β so I doubt he was ever more than that. I do see from 62B and RP where Hogan was billed 6β8β. So I was wrong there. As for Taker, the most I could conceivably see is the 6β7.5 where Rob billed him. I see anywhere 6β7-6β7.5 and Hogan could be anywhere 6β5-6β6β peak barefoot. I donβt discount possible 6β6β absolute peak but 62B makes a good point. Also for Andre, he wasnβt any higher than 7β0β peak. 6β11β range is even debatable when you see pics. 7β0β is I guess but thatβs absolute max and likely was a bit less. I respect your opinion But you do see here that almost everyone else has Hogan 6β5-6β6β as well and Taker most people believe was 6β7β range peak

Canson, I donβt know how young you are or where you get your information but it is fact that Hogan was billed at 6β8β for his entire run in the 80βs with the WWF. I know this because I watched him live many times and in every PPV he was announced at 6β8β and 303lbs. He was also referred to as being closer to 6β9β many times by Gorilla Monsoon. This makes complete sense, they inflated heights by 2 inches virtually all the time. He was over 6β6β and almost a full 6β7β barefoot so they billed and referred to him 2 inches taller, just like Andre was 7β2β so they billed him as 7β4β, Undertaker was legit over 6β8β barefoot so they billed him as 6β10β, Warrior was 6β2.5β so they billed him 6β4β, and the list goes on and on. He started getting billed at 6β7β in WCW, he was now down to 6β6β or a bit less and the Kay-Fabe era was pretty much over due to so many celebrities of known height being on their shows.
____________________________________________________________________________----
Andre was not ever 7'2". This I know first hand with out a doubt. Undertaker did not look over 6'7" when I saw him at the YMCA in the early 90's. Hogan was at most an inch taller than my 6'4" Grandfather in 1980. Also early billings for Hogan, like in the late 70's was 6'7". I never saw Warrior in person, but I doubt he was much over 6'1"
Hogan said on 7/Mar/19
I think hogan was 6β4.75-6β5β in his prime from like 1979-1985. From there he slowly shrank to about 6β2.5β by the early 2000βs. He would square off with real 6β2β guys like Goldberg, Lesnar and HHH and look generally the same height as them in the early 2000s.

Later the commentator says 6β5.5 and 6β6 earlier in the day which is very much believable at his peak. The 6β6β listing has an outside chance but I think realistically a strong 6β5 to weak 6β6β is his peak

@ Canson...early in his career, 1978-1987βish he was βoccasionallyβ billed @ 6β8β.

SnerhagAip777: do you really wish that you were only 6β0β tall versus 6β5β? I can see an argument for 6β5β being too tall but 6β0β versus something like 6β2 or 6β3β Iβm surprised.

I'm 6ft5 and i hope that by age 65 (or earlier) i will be 6ft2, which would be amazing. If i make it to 85, i hope that by that time i will have lost at least 5 inches. So by the time i'm fragile and old, i'm gonna have my perfect height.
Canson said on 2/Mar/19
@Ronster: I respect your opinion but even Rob only lists him a solid 6β6β at his peak and another poster here 62B also said he saw him in the 80s with his 6β4β Grandfather and that he was only about an inch taller. Undertaker was 6β7β range peak and easily 1.5-2β taller than Hulk. I definitely see an argument for 6β6β but over it looks a bit much. As for how he looks today, you may have seen him prior to some of the other posters here meaning he couldβve lost height from when you saw him to when others have. I think JoeyB33βs estimate is a bit low but likely because Hogan wasnβt standing as tall as he could. 6β2β looks too low in my opinion. I still think heβs 6β3β today. My estimate in his prime was likely a little above 6β5 however not a flat one. Meaning he would possibly wake up 6β6 and dip under to 6β5.25 possibly 6β5.5. But 6β5 range covers that
Canson said on 1/Mar/19
@Danimal: there have been a few people that have met him here that have said heβs closer to 6β3 If not over by a bit. Only JoeyB33 thought he was closer to 6β2β. Maybe it was his posture but then you have some that have said 6β3.5 as well. He generally looks around 6β3β if he stands his best in pictures. But even if he really was the full 6β6β at his peak (6β5 range is really where I have him whether it be solid or strong 6β5 or maybe weak 6β6β) I still say that he hasnβt lost 4β in his lifetime. He may have woke up to 6β6β peak and measured 6β5β range based on the site standards. 3β is even pushing it but possible if he really maintained 6β6β in his prime. But Realistically, itβs somewhere in the 2-2.5β range. If Robβs listings are off for his peak and current, itβs not by that much maybe up to 1/2β on the peak and his current looks pretty close to what he could conceivably measure today. At his peak I canβt see much difference between he and Tiny Lister
Ben Bell said on 1/Mar/19
When I met Hogan in 2015 he was 6β3.5. Certainly no less.
I had no footwear advantage.
I had the pic on here. Iβm 6β0.5 and Hulk had me by 3β minimum.
He had obvious postural problems, his knees were bent and his hips tilted.
Iβd say heβd lost around 2β from his peak of between 6β5 and 6β6.
Heβs 100% over 6β2.
When you stand next to him his physical proportions are clearly that of a very large man. Super long arms, huge head, hands etc.
rawdshaq said on 1/Mar/19
@Sotiris He was billed at 6'8". When he first joined the WWF they did describe him as "near 7 feet tall". He could have easily been 6'6".
RONSTER said on 1/Mar/19
Canson, he said many times his mother made everybody take their shoes off and she would measure them by putting a ruler on their head and marking it on the wall, then she would measure their height and he was 6β7β. I personally saw him up close in the 80βs and again in 2014 and he is considerably shorter than he was before. I would believe he was over 6β6β and she rounded up, in 2014 when he would stand straight which was not much he easily was over 6β4β barefoot still. At 65 now he likely is a bit under 6β4β, he only appears shorter due to his horrible posture and bent knees all the time. 6β5β is way too low for his peak.
Canson said on 1/Mar/19
@184guy: Rampage has been around and active even longer than 2010. If he saw him in person at 6β5β he may be it, but if we are talking just estimating him from a distance or in pics we arenβt sure. Also unless he saw footwear itβs no guarantee. But Iβd imagine Rampage looked for that especially being heβs been around as long as he has. However Estimates vary from one poster to the next. As for Sotiris, I donβt think heβs deliberately shaving an inch off people. His estimates may or may not be off but thatβs what he thinks of them in the pics. I donβt always agree with his estimates but he is right on some Iβll say.
Canson said on 28/Feb/19
@Rawdshaq: he likely had shoes on when his mother measured him. Iβm more of an advocate of 6β5 range but if he ended up near 6β6β it wouldnβt be anything over it and it would likely be something like 6β5.5 over 6β6β which puts him near 6β7β in showed or it couldβve been an oversight. My personal opinion is 6β5-6β5.5 range and I do agree today 6β3β give or take up to 1/4β
Sotiris Gravas said on 28/Feb/19
@Danimal I find it hard to believe that a 6'6" guy would only be billed as 6'7", especially someone they wanted to promote as a true formidable champion. If an adult Bruiser Brody was only 6'4" and some change, then maybe Hogan was only around 6'4.5", not even 6'5". Look at the pics I posted of Hogan w/ Stan Hansen (footwear visible) vs. Brody/Hansen. Does that look like a 6'6" guy to you...? Not to me. Let's not forget that when Jesse Ventura said Hogan wore internal lifts, maybe he was actually telling the truth, same as Bruce Prichard vis-a-vis Taker. As for Hogan presently being 6'2"... on that we can agree. Spectators can't really tell how tall a wrestler is when distance and a wrestling ring serves as a great divide. Seeing someone up-close at a public appearance is altogether different, which is why Hogan almost always wore cowboy boots to keep "up" appearances of his billed height. A shrinking 6'10" guy like Andre had to wear cowboy boots out in public to be somewhat closer to his 7'4" billing, especially given his poor posture which made him look 6'9" -- the height Chuck Wepner believed him to be. Anyways, that's my 2 cents, unaffected by inflation.
P.S. I understand that Hogan had a lot of surgeries, but those began at the tail end of the '90s. Here's Hogan w/ Fred Ottman back in 1990...

@Sotiris
Please make a great favor : stop deliberately shavind everyone 1 inch . Crush wasn't 6'4
If I'm not wrong , Rampage met him and Rampage himself is about 6'3 7/8 and said that Crush looked at least 6'5 , and I'm don't think Rampage is a
troll . He is active on this site since 2010 at least I belief
rawdshaq said on 27/Feb/19
He says his mom measured him at 6'7" when he was younger and now that he lost height, he was 6'4" but regained back to 6'5"? Is it possible that his mom measured him slightly too tall? Maybe an inch too much? 6'6" peak, 6'3" currently? Probably the case
Canson said on 27/Feb/19
My guess for Hall is 6β3.5 and Hogan May be flat 6β3 at a low or 6β3 1/8β
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 27/Feb/19
@Vegas
Wow, didn't know that until now. It's very rare for a wrestler to get underlisted. But obviously Lance Storm saying Christian's 6'1"-6'2" is wrong though.
Danimal 5'9 3/4" said on 27/Feb/19
So, as of 2013 (he's had more surgeries since), he had 8 back surgeries (all spinal fusions), 2 full hip replacements and 8 knee replacements. He once stood a legit 6'6" and is presently 6'2".

RP said on 26/Feb/19
@ Sotiris, after looking at all the photos, videos, diferent postures ...and both men had on similar black sneakers. Current Hall is 1/4β taller than Current Hogan.
That being said:
If Hogan is 6β3β, then Hall is 6β3.25β
If Hogan is 6β2.75β, then Hall is 6β3β
If Hogan is 6β2.5β, then Hall now is struggling with even hitting 6β3β now, likely 6β2.75β afternoon height.
Rob, Hall needs a downgrade for 2019.

Shoot peak 6'6'' 300 makes sense to me. His billed weight in AWA was like 320 but no way. That's a work weight. His 302 was realistic until the steroid scandal, and then we're talking about at least a 30 lb loss at the end of the WWF run.

The Martyn Ford shots are all over the place, there are shots of him and Hogan with barely 2" between them.

There are shots of him towering Momoa.
I bet Momoa and Hogan are farily similar in heigh. Maybe 1" to Momoa max.

I never met Matt Morgan to talk to but I did stand right next to him.
I'd say maxium 6'8 barefoot, could have been 6'7. No way 6'10. Noticably shorter than Kevin Nash in person who I'd say still could be 6'10. I'm meeting him again in a month of so and I'll get another pic.
I also met Abyss who they billed up to 7ft, I'd say 6'6 maximum, more likely 6'5.
Rob Terry I'd agree with just over 6'3. I stoood next to him for quite a while. for such a huge guy he had zero charisma or presence.
RP said on 24/Feb/19
Ron, Sotiris just posted a pic a recent pic of Hogan, Hall, Nash & a female fitness competitor. Hogan & Hall are the exact same height. One could even argue Hogan edging him out in the photo by 0.25β?? And there are many pics from last fallβs NWO reunion tour where Hogan & Hall look the exact same height? So, his can Hall be Listed by you @ current 6β4β & Hogan current 6β3β ?? IMO, no way Scott Hall is over 6β3.5β right now. And if Hogan is 6β3β? Hall is no more than 6β3β to 6β3.25β ...IMO? Your thoughts Sotiris after posting that pic?

Editor Rob
Hall might be 6ft 3.5 today, I have seen a couple of friends who met him a few years ago and 6ft 3.5-4 is their estimate.
Canson said on 23/Feb/19
@RP: spot on. He mentioned that one disc in his neck is jammed so he has less space to compress than average person
Canson said on 23/Feb/19
@Vegas: I would put Corbin at his original listing 6β6β (by this siteβs standards) being the combine is an early morning measurement. But what you said adds up because Strowman is only at most 1/2β taller meaning if he measured at the same time as Corbin at a Combine he would be similar in height with maybe Brock Osweiler 6β6 7/8 or maybe the full 6β7β at best. I think Rob has both listed ok in terms of difference but Iβd move both down 1/4β 6β6 and 6β6.5
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 23/Feb/19

When was Christian ever billed at 5'10"? I've only seen 6'1" and maybe 6'2". WWE or any other wrestling promotion isn't dumb enough to underlist a wrestler by 2 inches.

Vegas' said on 20/Feb/19
Stop looking for logic in pro wrestling billings as there is none.
Corbin measured 6'6 1/2 barefoot and is listed 6'8 in wee. Strowmans probably only an inch or so shy of his 6'8 billing listing (he was also listed 6'8 in strongman), Drew McIntyre is an inch or so shy of his 6'5 WWE listing. Reigns was measured 6'2.5 and listed 6'3 in wwe. On flip side Mysterio is 4 inches short of his 5'6 listing, Kane is 5 short of his 7 foot billing. Rollins and Ambrose are similar height yet billed at 6'1 and 6'4 respectively.
Christian was billed 5'10 and almost 6 foot in person, spike dudley is nowhere near as short as his 5'5 wrestling billing in person.
RP said on 19/Feb/19
Sotiris, great pics of Matt Morgan. He legit only looks 6β7-1/2β MAX (could even argue 6β7β flat) in all those photos. Especially when comparing him with 6β6β to 6β6-1/2β Ali Baba! My thoughts...a peak & at his prime Matt Morgan was 6β7-3/4β afternoon barefoot (6β8β morning) and was 6β9β in normal footwear...6β9-1/2β in wrestling boots = pro wrestling billing of 6β10β plus.

Morgan's billed height is 6'10" and Rob has him at 6'8.5" I seriously doubt this guy is over 6'7". Also, why would the WWE only bill him at only 1.5" taller, as opposed to 6'3" Terry Gordy getting billed as 6'6", or 6'5" David Von Erich getting billed as 6'8". It makes more sense for a 6'7" guy to get billed 3" more, not 1.5". Seriously.

Canson said on 10/Feb/19
@Henry: Iβd be careful critiquing other people and how they assess height etc. do you realize you just said Hogan was 6β9β out of bed at one point in his life? He was never that tall. Undertaker was never even 6β9 out of bed barefoot and he was taller than Hogan. Taker was likely 6β8 out of bed barefoot and a peak Hogan was 6β6 out of bed max and 6β5 range throughout the day. Either way it doesnβt matter what he was out of bed as that isnβt his true height. Your chiropractor being a chiropractor doesnβt mean he is right especially if he didnβt measure Hogan himself
Canson said on 8/Feb/19
@Sotiris: agree on Ford. Probably same height as Baron Corbin max. Corbin would be a full 6β6 if he measures 6β6.5 in the morning at a combine
Henry said on 8/Feb/19
Sotiris Gravas, LMFAO, do you even understand anything about perspective and camera angles? Hogan is slouching big time and his knees are bent.
I have also talked to my
chiropractor many times about this.
He said that Hogan started losing height by very small fractions of a millimeter when he first started doing leg drops.
He said that Hogan's peak height was in the late 1970s. Even by the mid 1980s, Hogan had height loss that was measurable.
HOGAN ALWAYS SLOUCHES, HAS A VERY WIDE STANCE, AND BENDS HIS KNEED. Hogan was also all coked out awake for 40 or 50 hours reducing his height a lot from his peak morning height after a solid 10 hours of sleep. Hogan was a minimum 6'9" barefoot after a good 13 hours of sleep before he ever started wrestling.
Canson said on 8/Feb/19
@62B: I would be far more likely to agree with your estimate than 6β7β. I only used the 6β6β saying that I highly doubt a celeb is going to be listed taller than Rob has them. And itβs for the most part true across this site. If anything, most of these celebs are slightly overlisted versus underlisted. Some of the posts that I see here are very silly to be honest. And for comparison, Taker is listed peak 6β7.5. I would say the difference between the two may be 2β solid and that Taker may have been something like 6β7.25 peak and Hulk 6β5.25 peak both at lows. I donβt rule out 6β5.5 for Hulk but donβt rule out 6β5β either. I doubt he was ever more than 6β5.5 at a low however and I doubt he would even be that high in the afternoon

62B said on 7/Feb/19
@RONSTER. My experience with Hogan was back in 1980. He stopped right in front of us on his way to the ring. He was minimally taller than my 6'4" Grandfather. My best guess is that Hulk had about 1" on my Grandfather. Certainly not 3". And you never know if Hogan had any kind of lift in his boots.
62B said on 7/Feb/19
@Canson. lately I keep remembering a conversation I had with my army roommate back in the late 80's. My friend had been up close to Hogan several times and said Hogan was pretty much right in-between my height of just over 6'3" and our other room mate who was 6'6". If peak Hogan was an inch and a half taller than me, that would put him 6'4 3/4 ". I do think 6'5" to 6'5 1/4" are possibilities, but I am starting to back off the idea Hogan was ever 6'5.5" unless it was right out of bed
Canson said on 6/Feb/19
Hogan was 1.5-2β shorter than taker in his prime. If Taker was really 6β7.5 like Rob listed him it would mean Hulk was no more than 6β6β or strong 6β5 range low end. He was never 6β7β

Henry, I have working eyes and no bias so of course I see what is plainly there and indisputable in those pictures that Hogan was minimal 6β7β barefoot back then. But itβs futile, none of the posters in here will accept the truth, they donβt want to accept it so instead they will continue to use altered photos, or ones with bad angles and posture to try and convince us all he was shorter than he actually was. I have said it before, I saw him up close in 1986 and he was 6β9β in his boots easily, and he was still well over 6β4β when I met him in 2014.
The photos of Hogan with people of known height in level floor, same footwear and posture always prove he was as tall as he said.
And he was βbilledβ at 6β8β-9β throughout his WWF run in the 80βs.
Canson said on 5/Feb/19
I know that Alan32080 mentioned before that he himself didnβt lose height very quickly throughout the day but did later. With his estimate as of the most recent interaction with him he had Hogan as probably half inch taller than he was tops. So if Alan dips to 6β2.67-6β2.75 at a low it would make Hogan around 6β3-6β3.25. Robβs listing is probably fair as I doubt heβs less than 6β3β from what Iβve seen provided he stands straight. But I doubt over 6β3 1/8 or 6β3 1/4 and certainly not over 6β3 at an extreme low.
His peak was likely 6β5-6β5.5. I donβt rule out something like 196.5 at a low but I think once we cross that mark it looks almost unrealistic. 6β5.5 is of course close to that but often times he looked more 6β5 range than 6β6 which is not how a guy measuring that tall who wore boots would look. If Lister is 6β5β or even a tiny hair over like 6β5 1/8 he wouldnβt have noticed a difference if Hogan were 1/4β taller than him. Still wide range given, Meaning 6β5.75-6β6.5 out of bed 6β5-6β5.5 afternoon height. 6β6/6β5.25 looks really good
Canson said on 5/Feb/19
@JT and Sotiris: a peak Dr J was likely 6β5.5. He had Jordan by an inch at his peak. Jordan likely measures 6β5 morning 6β4.5 afternoon. I knew a friend of mine is probably a solid 6β4β maybe as tall as me at 6β4.25 tops. He met Dr J and thought it was a 2β difference back in the 80s and that he was 6β6β. In the pic itβs harder to tell but given footwear may have played a role as it did appear Dr J had thicker footwear slightly and that it wasnβt quite 2β I could arrive at something like peak 6β5.5. While I donβt rule out what Sotiris said completely 6β4 seems low. I would say heβs still near 6β5β today

Buster Douglas and Richard Beltzer both have footwear advantages and yet The Hulkster looks at least 6'9" in these photos. A 6'5" man could never ever look this tall.

Pat Riley said that Magic Johnson was 6β8-1/2β with his sneakers on & only about 6β7-1/2β in his socks, once during an interview back in the early 1990βs. Seems about spot on for a young peak Magic. Current & near 60 old Magic is likely now 6β7β flat barefoot.
Canson said on 3/Feb/19
@Phenom89: yea peak I would say maybe 1.5-2β difference between the two. So Taker maybe 6β7.25 peak and Hulk 6β5-6β5.5 peak. Today Hulk still looks 6β3 range while Taker 6β6ish. So no higher than 3β but likely something like 2.5-3β difference between them now is possible

@tree I don't wanna disagree w/ you, but the problem is, Fred Ottman has always claimed 6'3" and is still 6'3". (If I'm wrong, can somebody let me know...) He was billed as 6'3" and Google has him at 6'3" (rhymes w/ tree).

@Sotiris: doesnβt surprise me. Hulk was 6β5β range peak and 6β3 today. He was listed similar to how some 6β7β pro basketball players are listed (that are sometimes in reality as low as 6β5 flat barefoot or even 6β4.5 at lows). Hulk couldβve been 6β5-6β5.5 meaning maybe he could get 6β6 in the morning straight out of bed and still get 6β5 1/2 at a physical 2-3 hours out of bed. Meaning 6β5.25 at a low. He would easily be 6β6.5 in a regular shoe at that stage or 6β6.75 with regular boots or Jordanβs at that stage. But I donβt rule out just a solid 6β5β at a low and 6β5.75 out of bed. I think the proof is in the boots he used to wear and thatβs how he got the 6β7β listing and claim. From what I recall he was sane as Tiny Lister and Lister said that himself. The same can possibly mean Hulk was 1/4β taller at 6β5.25 to Listerβs 6β5 but surely not a barefoot 6β7β or even 6β6 in my opinion
Canson said on 30/Jan/19
@Sotiris: Not sure whatβs up with the pics. But with Magic Dr J looks smaller than he should. I find hard to believe a guy who was near 6β6 or at worst enough over 6β5 had lost that much. That just goes to show that in some pics one can look taller or shorter one moment to the next. I saw a pic of someone who I could almost reliably guess as around 6β4 (worst 6β3.75 prob) next to a friend of mine who is 6β3β. Dr J had close to 2β peak on his friend. Worst case he was 6β5.5 like they said he was. If heβs 6β4 today Iβd be surprised because he had an inch on Barkley

Magic Johnson is 6β9β not 6β7β, the usual lower everyoneβs height by 2 inches to try and justify the rediculous low height estimates for Hogan.

@Phenom89: youβre saying Hogan was never 6β5? Or someone else. Hogan was a peak 6β5 if not a bit over the mark. 6β5.5 at a low may be a lot but he would likely clear close to 6β6β out of bed if not bang on 6β6

@tree
Undertaker was maybe...maybe a hair over 6'7 barefoot at his peak, in my opinion.
If hogan was not 6'4.5 he was max half inch more. 6'5" because there are 2" minimum between them.
6'7 is ridiculous as 6'6.5.
6'6 too much.
If someone continue to look at AndrΓ©-Hogan staredown thinking that AndrΓ© was 7'2 ,7'0 or 6'11 its useless keep guessing.

@62B: yep and Alan32080 said Hogan was slightly taller than he was. Iβm thinking he is possibly slightly taller but Alan went with a height earlier in the day slightly rounded up. He mentioned heβs weak 6β3 at a low meaning Hogan was probably Max 6β3.25 based on the estimation. Only because we go by an afternoon height on this site. I think Robβs listing for him is ok because heβs likely closer to 6β3 than 6β4β. Best case could be the 6β3.25 absolute worst case he could dip a hair under the 6β3β mark like 6β2 7/8 maybe. I guarantee if he stood straight that heβs taller than Joey

Hulk Hogan was 6'6". Andre was 6'10 1/2".

Seen this picture many times with out the scale. This is the first time I noticed that Hulks heel seems to be higher up in his boot than Andre's. Internal lifts maybe?

I correct my self, 6'5 weak still doable for his peak
Phenom89 said on 29/Jan/19
I dont belive at tippy-toe action always as i read...sometimes depends about the moment in witch the picture is made.
Btw....

He was never 6'6, leave alone 6'7-6'8
He was never 6'5.5 or 6'5.
Not only compared to Lesnar, but also with Undertaker (no less than 2" taller than him back in the days)

Hulk Hogans boot look like they gave him 3/4 inch. He was 6'5 1/4" - 6' 6" and Andre looked 6' 10" or 6' 11"
Canson said on 28/Jan/19
Dr J I doubt is only flat 6β4β today. Heβs likely still taller than me at 6β4.25
Canson said on 28/Jan/19
@Sotiris: Dr.J is likely still close to 6β5β. Peak I agree 6β5.5.

Bottom line, Hogan was never 6'7", even though he still lies about it.
