@Ronster - still a hole of an opinion dude. Show pics. Also, he was clearly never 6'6.5"-6'7" barefoot. So your opinion hole got even deeper once you said that. I know two people that have met him on different occassions in the past 2 years and both said he is nothing over 6'2" now.

Opinions are like but holes, everyone has one lol. However, when it comes to something like this only people who have met and stood next to Hogan can give one that matters, photos are useless and mean nothing. I can look a half foot taller or shorter in pictures as can anyone. I for that matter have met and stood with Hogan both when he was in his early 30's and just two years ago post back surgery. The man lost a lot of height from his youth, and most of these photos that show him shorter are due to bent knees and poor posture. I can say for sure he was at least 6'6.5"-6'7" barefoot the first time and was still at least 6'4" barefoot the last time. He had identical type runners to mine but was standing with his knees bent a lot and leaning to one side and still was 6'4" next to me in shoes, so that meant he was barefoot over 6'4" easily. And he also has maintained most of his upper body size aside from his arms being a few inches smaller (still over 20" though at 63!), so he easily tops the scales at 290-300lbs. His legs are smaller now yes but they are still big as well.

@Logan
Anything under 6'5" is low for Hogan, if you're talking about his peak height. I thought 6'5.25" or somewhere around that.

He is 6,5 maybe 6,4.75 he is about 1 inch or so taller than orton which is about 6,4 so I will stick with 6,4.5-6,5

Hogan was at Least 6'5 during his peak since he was at the same height as John Tenta and Tiny "Zeus" Lister. Give or take 0.25 Inches. Remember Hogan was billed as low as 6'6. He was mentioned as 6'5 - 6'6. Sid justice Always had a Good 2 inch on Hogan.

Interestingly Hogan has just put a photo on his Instagram today saying he'll get under 300lbs this weekend.
He's not saying he's all muscle he's saying he's overweight. I still say a strong 6'3 today.

Hulk is no more than 6'2" now
Also, Hogan was never over 6'4"
Andre was never over 6'9"
Studd was never over 6'5"
Why is it so hard for people to comprehend that they wore lifts and played on the camera angles and stood on boxes and stood next to short refs and interviewers?
________________________________________________________________________-
Its doubtful Andre was wearing lifts when I bumped into him at the air port, He was huge and looked 7' but was probably somewhere between 6'10" and 6'11". Hogan in 1980 pre WWF and probably not wearing lifts was slightly taller than my Grandfather when we saw him, who at the time was a little over 6'4" and normally wore shoes with a heel. Peak Andre was probably very close to 7' and a peak Hogan was 6'5" to 6'5 1/2".

Another thing I would say is when I was stood near Hogan I would have said 6'3 tops due to his bizarre body proportions and obviously shrunken legs, hips and lower back.
It was only when I saw my photo of Hulk and I and my friends photo of them together that I could see the full height difference.
Hogan has a huge and this I believe makes him appears shorter.
He's still a very big guy.

Meeting him 2 years ago I would have said a strong 6'3, touching 6'4.
I think he's only lost 1.5"-2.0" max.
I'd say 6'5.5 peak.
I've met lots of wrestlers over the years and Hulk was still an enormous man.
I met him with a friend who's 6'2, fat and 310lbs. Even though my friend was fatter you could see Hogan had a far larger frame. He was a very big thick guy, the type of size you very rarely see, somebody who would definitely make you take a second look.
His hips and legs looked very crooked and you could see he had no ass. His upper body and arms were huge, giant hands and head.
There are lots of wrestlers I've met who were smaller than I expected (Steiner, Shamrock, Piper, Flair) but there are also some bigger. I can easily see a peak Hulk between 290 and 320.
They don't always put wrestlers weights up, I know taker was billed at 328 in the ministry of darkness days, at one point with eating and drinking on the road he hit 350 and tried to cover up with a baggy shirt.
There was an interview with Shaq talking about it.
Taker was basically fat.
Austin openly struggles with weight has been up to 280 in recent years, Ted Dibiase also openly talks about weight problems and hitting 330lbs.

I've never, ever seen a listing lower than a 6'5" billing or claim for Hogan from his physical prime. Almost all wrestling merchandise has or had him at 6'7" & 302 lbs from that era. With a few 6'8" listings ...maybe a random fluke 6'6" listing once in a blue moon...and almost all weight billings being 302, 303 or 305. With a random few going up to 320 to 325 & a random few going as low as 294 & 295.

Hulk seems to have gotten the 6'7" peak and 6'4.5" recent from his mother measuring him, but he never says she had them take their shoes off.

In the interview with "The Voice", I'm about 99% sure he said he would be interviewed barefoot. I can't find the interview anymore, but I'm almost positive that's what he said.

Btw, Hulk's mother died when he was 57. 6'4.5" would have to be in shoes since he's been shorter than Troy Aikman and David Hasselhoff for a while and I still say 6'5.5" peak so 6'7" or within would be easy in a lot of footwear, or I'm almost any footwear early in the day. Seems most of his height loss came from surgeries.
Canson, I thought you were a bit over 6'4"??

@****sock - your stats make sense. i have watched some WWF footage from circa 1990 recently and i can see 6'5 flat around that time but no more. i think early 80s he may have hit 6'5.5 and that was his peak height. He walks around about strong 6'2 with his bad posture these days but i could buy him being around a strong 6'3 when standing up straight today.

To Arby and Canson, one if he wS eye level with you he was at least an inch taller because I seriously doubt your head is nearly as large as his, and to the other, was he standing straight and tall like I'm sure you were? I bet anything he was bent knees and slouching like always.

Alan32080, I also met him a couple years ago post back surgery and he was easily 6'4" barefoot. How much would you estimate he weighs? Muscle weighs a lot more than fat and he is still really built especially upper body wise so I estimate him around 280-290lbs still

@Arby I only met him once but we both had flops on and I'm 6'3" on the nose and he was taller. Not like inches but visibly taller. One of the swat guys is 6'5" and Hogan was pretty close to him obviously my guy was taller but not by much maybe 1.5" max but more like a inch. This was around 8:30 to 9:00 in the morning at a private shooting range in Tampa where swat and national guard shoot as well as some private members.

@Arby I am also 6'3" barefoot flat and I have good posture and he was taller than me. The lowest he could be is 6'3.5" and probably wakes up at 6'4" which is what I thought when I met him which was around 9 a.m. maybe a little earlier.

Here is an interesting clip of Stone Cold answering a fan's question on whether he suffered any of the same back problems from doing the stunner night after night that Hogan did from doing his leg drop:
Click Here
He claims that Hogan was...and this is truly shocking...6'5-6'6 and 300-320lbs. This is what I have been saying for many years. This is also consistent with what the 6'6" ring announcer said and with what 6'5" 300lb Tiny Lister said. Hogan was about 6'5.5" and at least 300lbs at his biggest. Now, he is still around 6'3/6'3.5" and maybe 260lbs.

Cool you got to meet Hulk and get a picture with him, but its not really that good of a picture to guess his height. You appear to be standing straight, while Hogan is obviously leaning forward with his head tilted down. Then we can't tell if he is, what seems to be normal, bending at the knees, or the shoes he is wearing. If I had to guess off of that picture. I'd say standing straight with same footwear and you being 5'8" that Hulk would indeed be around 6'3" Today. What is your guess?

Vegas, what was their footwear like at Hogan's shop? maybe your friend is taller than 6'4". some people like to underplay their height, others overplay it. if Hogan wakes up in the morning, 6'3.5"- 6'4" is certainly possible and within reason
example: my father told people for years he was 6'4". his actual height barefoot: 6'4 5/8" ... he preferred to round down instead of up

He seems to be holding onto 6'3 very well unlike Dolph lundgren who is losing a cm by each passing year

Tito, most people agree that he is about 6ft 3 now since he looked shorter than 6ft 4 Troy Aikman & David Hasselhoff but the Question is was he ever 6ft 5 to 6ft 6 @ his Peak ??

I am 6'5" and 265 lbs and I dwarf hulk Hogan. I live 1 mile from him. I been around him many times and I have 2" on him and I seem heavier with muscle mass. Terry is really 6'3" and probably 250 lbs.

Some really good listings there Sean but I disagree strongly with a couple of them.
Shawn Michaels at 5'11.5" ? He lived in cowboyboots and now he finally conceded himself that he is 5'10". He was also described in the past as 5'10", I think he was max 5'11" at peak but I lean more towards 5'10.5".
Davy Boy Smith is the same looked mostly 5'10.5"-5'11" tops.

The problem guessing Hogan's height is that he looked barely 6'5 with the shorter guys like Mean Gene,Piper,Randy but with another very tall guys he looked very near the 6'6 listing. I personally would go with 6'5.75 MAX since he looked a tad shorter than John Tenta,who was measured at 6'5.75 but could have been the full 6'6.

no way could he have lost 3" he was noticeably shorter than the undertaker who was 6ft 7 in his prime
I think he is a strong 6ft 3 now and a weak 6ft 5 in his prime 6ft 6 with lifts.

The most interesting thing I see in here is the total ignorance about Hogans posture. In every picture he stands with his surgically replaced knees bent a lot and usually is leaning to one side because of his replaced hips and surgically repaired back! He is easily over 6'4" today but is always standing in a way that drops him 2-3 inches. He rarely ever stood straight up anyway, but when he did you see how he was well over 6'7" in his younger days barefoot, heck he was within 4-5 inches of the by the time due to excessive weight 7 foot Andre at WM3.

Oh please hogan was billed 6'8 because he measured 6'7 in his wrestling boots so he may have been 6'5.5-6" prime thats how it works period! andre was billed 7'4 because with his 2" afro and in his wrestling boots he measured 7'3 so in his prime he would have been about 7ft or 7'0.5" guys who wrestled barefoot like kamala haku yoko would get a 3" boost as i said before they get measured in their wrestling gear then given a extra inch, in some cases like kane they might give an extra 2" because hed be 6'10 in his boots give the extra inch which is 6'11 so in that case they just give him 7ft to round it off, kanes boots were 2 or 2.5" in 1997 so hed be around 6'7.5 or 6'8 prime

197cm peak. Today he could be anywhere from 189-191. Hard to tell because of poor posture and knee bending when standing.

@Canson believe it or not my height stays the same through out the day unless I do PT then by evening measurement I may be a shade under 6'3" but not more than a 1/8" if that. I wake up at 6'3" but I do have a heavy frame. I personally believe he was between 6'5.5" to 6'6" at peak hell he could have hit his claimed 6'7" right out of bed but I doubt it.

Hogan was about 6'4-3/4'' to 6'5'' peak. Looking at him with Dennis Rodman, I don't think he would have ever been the same height as him or taller as some on here may believe.

I think it's clear that he was about 6'5.5" tops in his prime and is maybe a little over 6'3" today; maybe 6'3.5". I don't think he lost more than around 2". It's possible he wakes up at 6'4" and has been measured at that height.

6'4.5 in footwear is possible today I guess. Still 6'3/6'3.25 barefoot.
As was 6'7 in his boots back in the day, obviously he never ever hit 6'7 barefoot though, 6'5.5 at the absolute maximum.

I was at the shop during mania 33 weekend and my friend (who is 6'4) met him and Hogan was shorter, hopefully i can get the photo off him to post as it's a really good one.
We were talking to a guy working there the previous night and he was trying to convince us that Hogan once stood 6'7 and is now 6'4.
In this video just before shop opened Hogan claims he was measured 6'7 by his mother and now stands 6'4.5 so maybe Rob can use this in the quotes as it's the most recent example of him talking about his height Click Here

i think Hogan may have had another surgery or something and perhaps another spinal fusion with an artificial disc to help correct some of his height loss...he was a very STRONG 6'3.5", 'maybe' even close to 6'4" over Wrestlemania 33 weekend In Orlando at Hogan's beach shop. he posed with hundreds of Fans, including a friend of mien who is a full legit 6'2", and Hogan was 2 inches taller

Think referee joey marella was 5'9-10"he looked like a child next to hogan and andre at wm 3 anyway used to be involved in pro wrestling and the way it works is your measured in your wrestling boots then given an extra inch for your billed height so you could be anything from 1.5-3.5" taller depending on the boots

Back in my prime in 1977 I was 6'4.5" tall, needless to say no thanks to father time I'm no longer that tall. I met Hogan in '77 and he was every bit of 6'7" and my guess around 315 pounds. As someone who got very fast at high levels in sports, I can understand what surgery does to a person, especially with the back and neck

Firecracker, that photo is useless to gauge any of their heights as they are all staggered and at different distance and angles to the camera. I have a son who is 6'2" and I'm a little over 5'8" but in some photos I can look no more than 2 inches shorter than him. And it is a weak attempt to lower Hogans height by lowering everyone else's around him. Trump was 6'3" all day long and is still 6'2" easily. Atlas was over 6'2" and Hogan had 5-6" on him. FYI Hogan was announced at 337lbs and 6'8" for his match against Andre at Shea!
Firecracker, that photo is useless to gauge any of their heights as they are all staggered and at different distance and angles to the camera. I have a son who is 6'2" and I'm a little over 5'8" but in some photos I can look no more than 2 inches shorter than him.

@Firecracker. Tony Atlas was indeed 6'2" barefoot height most likely 6'3 1/8" in wrestling gear. Not sure about the other 2 guys but Atlas I have met and chit chatted with numerous times. He was married to a white woman who owned a restaurant in Melbourne, FL that I frequently went to years ago when I went through the academy. He was always in there. I haven't seen him in many years but then 6'2" all day long. Trump I have also met when he was campaigning and did a event in Saint Augustine, FL that we worked Security on. He was my height in shoes (6'3") probably a lift wearer.
No disrespect meant in my comments just stating what I have seen first hand. God Bless.

Firecracker:
Peak Tony Atlas: 6'1.75"
Current 63 year old Tony Atlas: 6'0"
Don Muraco is on his tip toes in that pic, BTW.
There are about 10-12 photos from that day in the gym. With multiple angles, guys slouching, other guys standing perfectly straight...Don on his tip toes...etc..Look at the pics that Don isn't tip Toeing, Tony is 1" taller. Also, there is one pic from this photo shoot that is perfect for comparing heights. In that pic Hogan looks 3.5" taller than Atlas & 4.5" taller than Muraco.

Straight ahead, many tall and large men loose 3-4 inches by their 60's without all the surgeries and injuries Hogan has had. They loose it mostly in their necks and legs, unable to keep their legs straight and leaning over too much over years. My Grandpa was 6'3", but in his 70's was barely over 6 feet. Hogan if you care to look stands with his knees bent a lot and he leans to one side, if not for the hip replacements, knee replacements and major back surgery he would be in a wheelchair for sure right now.

young hogan with tony atlas (black guy), the iron sheik close to hogan, and don muraco behind:

First of all, stop joking about atlas. Stop saying tony atlas was 6'2".
Here atlas with 6'0.5"(184cm) donald trump last year:Click Here
atlas looks 5'11"-6ft (180-183cm) with trump, so when he was young he was max 6'1" to be generous.
Considering the young atlas max 6'1", don muraco a full 6'2", hogan looks 6'3"-6'4". i don't see him a legit 6'5". So anything over 6'5" is overestimated.

@ straightahead - I did see a programme once on people with osteoporosis. Two of the men featured had shrunk from 5ft10 to 5ft3, but they were still walking.
I do see what you mean though; their prognosis for the future was glum and fairly inevitable that they would end up in wheelchairs, the poor things. So I do agree with what you said generally. Perhaps that might teach us all to up our intake of calcium - before it's too late. 👍🍶🐄

My two cents is 6 feet 5 inches flat at peak height in his prime, max. He very frequently had on cowboy boots, or in my opinion, wresting boots w/boost. Also, most of the wrestlers we compared him to (back in the day) were not quite as tall as we believed them to be. And of course, if you were a kid in the 80's and a WWF fan like me, you worshiped Hulk and believed every word he said. And I do believe him, he was about 6 feet 7 when wearing those big cowboy boots. I visualize a guy like Wlad Klitchko and Hulk Hogan back-to-back barefoot in there primes, and I'd bet the farm Wlad edges out Hulk.

Alan32080, thank you at last someone with a truthful and accurate post on Hogans current height. I also met him a couple years ago in person and took photos with him later in the day after he had been standing most of the time and he was well over 6'4" still barefoot. He says 6'4.5" now and that is the truth. He was said to be 6'8- 6'9" by announcers in the 80's, Hogan himself never went around claiming anything but 24"arms. He was well over 6'6" back then and everything not only points to but proves it. Again, nice post!
____________________________________________________________
I have no idea as to how tall Hogan is today. However, he was not ever the full 6'6" in my opinion, he really wasn't that much taller than my Grandfather who was slightly over 6'4" at the time in 1980. I can see 6'5.5" at most.

I just re-watched both Hulk Hogan vs Undertaker matches from late 1991...The Survivor Series match & the re-match at Tuesday in Texas. There is seriously only a 1.5" difference in height between them, when they both stood up good & straight! Peak Hogan: 6'5.5" to 6'5.75" & Peak Undertaker 6'7" to 6'7.25" !!! Undertaker also switched to a thicker footwear in the ring around 1994/95. Also in those matches Undertaker looks 293-298 to me! Not 328 by no means!! And Hogan looked 287-292 & not 302-303! Peak Hogan 1982-1990: 295-310 lbs ...1991 Hogan: 290...early 1992 Hogan: 285...late 1992: Hogan 280...IMO.

I won't name call or argue I will just agree to disagree. My opinion based on my barefoot height and other people's barefoot height that was there when we met him that I know he's 6'3.5" to 6'4" and I'm leaning between the 6'4" morning height.

Would be great to see him with some legit 6'3" to 6'5" men..without bad & misleading angles with Terry (Hulk) standing fully straight with good posture. May good friend Brian Duncan who works in PT & nutrition designs with the WWE in Orlando, FL said that Hogan was about 6'3" to 6'3.5" & 265-270 lbs when he wither with him 2 yeas ago. Also, as I've said before ...My 2nd cousin from Lindside, WV (Mark Canterbury) aka Henry Goblin worked with Hulk & the WWF in the very late 1980's to early 1990's....he swears Hulk was a strong 6'5" to 6'5.5" & fluctuated anywhere from 290-305 lbs before he dropped 20 lbs in 1992. Mark was 6'4" & 285-290 lbs in his prime back then. Mark had a great pic of him & Hogan from 1991..Hulk was a solid 2" taller than Mark. However, Hulk had on Cowboy boots & Mark was in basic 1.25" wrestling boots. So...probably Hulk was 1.5" taller ...that why I'll stand by a peak barefoot Hogan as 6'5.5" until 100% proven otherwise.

@David Banner those photos you are talking about are not good for judging height. Meet him in person and be honest and you will know what I'm saying is truth. I get weighed and measured every 3 months and that's barefoot with underwear on they require it on swat. He's no less than 6'3.5" middle afternoon and no doubt in my mind 6'4" out of bed.

@bazza I can 100% accurately say he is above 6'3" today barefoot. I'm 6'3" and in my reefs which are flip flops in the U.S. if your not from here I'm 6'4" maybe a shade over because they have a bottle opener on the bottom meaning a hard sole I was shorter than him. He had on quick silver thin soled flip flops maybe giving 3/4". He is no less than 6'3.5" to 6'4" now. He had me by 3/4" to 1" so possibly 1" barefoot. With that observation I would say 6'4" on the money. I'm a deputy sheriff in Jacksonville FL and we were in Tampa training on a tactical swat team and he was at the shooting range we were training at. We have pictures with him and one of our guys who is 6'5" took a pic with him and there wasn't much of a gap with Jon (my team member) a shade taller.

I don't dispute Hogan has lost a fair bit through the surgeries, that said that Maybe he once did hit around 6' 5" mark.

there is no way he could have lost more than a couple of inches even with the injuries and age. I would go with people saying 6' 4" ish peak (wearing huge lifts in the ring to appear taller) and now stands around 6' 2" at best, the evidence is there for all to see.
The sheer ignorance of this post MADE ME have to post here after a long time of not having posted on Hogans page. Hogan stood somewhere between 6'5" and 6'6" at his peak. He has lost tremendous height, not due to only age and injuries, but due to MULTIPLE height SHORTENING SURGERIES (neck fusion, fused discs in his spinal chord shortening his upper torso, hip replacements leaving him with a shorter femur and hips, knee replacements, etc, etc, etc. He's around 6'2" today. It wouldn't even surprise me if he's 1/4" under that today. He's lost 3-4" in the last 25-30 years. FACT.

@bazza - I couldn't agree more. Hulk Hogan is a larger than life figure that people grew up with and we all want him to be tall and large.
It's hard to accept the reality that he was never as tall and large as the WWF portrayed him as in the Kayfabe world of wrestling.
6'4" is very tall and especially with lifted wrestling boots and custom cowboy boots. Even in those lifts and boots he was never taller than people that were legit 6'6"

Rob, a lot of comments here believe Hogan was not quite 6'6" peak. Any possibility he was 6'5.5"? That may be a more indicator of his true height.

Editor Rob Sean, I'd say the lowest I'd try to argue was 6ft 5.5...but I feel there is still enough out there to say he could in his 20's have measured near 6ft 6 flat

straightahead, that's because Vince was at least an inch taller than Bret until he got old. See the March 21st 1994 interview on YouTube for an example. Nowadays, it's a different story, though. As for Johnny Carson, apparently he claimed 5'10.5", but maybe he claimed 5'11" as well, he wouldn't be the first guy to claim 2 different heights.

a 29 y.o. hogan with american television host Johnny Carson. Hogan wears cowboy boots, 2 inches heels. Carson claimed to be 5'10", many had doubts about it. Probably he was 5'9". Anyway, hogan doesn't look a legit 6'5"-6'6". Absolutely. i would say more 6'3"-6'4" max.

@Jim hopper nice to see someone who is way closer to the truth than most on here. I'd take it a step further myself and say 6'4" peak barefoot
and 6'2" now. The people that say that he's 6'4" now are nuts.

Hogan had written earlier in his book that Sly was 5'8", which is a much more realistic guess than the silly 5'6" or 7" stuff. They obviously made Hulk taller for Rocky 3 by standing him on a box and using angles as "Thunderlips" was supposed to be an Andre the Giant type nearly 7' tall With Hulk no more than 2" down from his peak at still a good 6'3.5" in 2005, Sly could appear 5'10.5" or 5'11" with him: Click Here Vince McMahon is a good reference in that series of photos as he was still probably near 6'1". Ironically, the shoes Sly is wearing there are called Hogan shoes, a thick sneaker, which Sly liked to put big lifts in. Sly was likely 5'8.75" or a weak 5'9" peak so he and Hulk were not in great positions to pinpoint each other's height as I've long been convinced Hulk was 6'5.5" peak, a good 8.5"+ taller than Stallone at his peak, so nearly a head.

FM: Randy Poffo aka Randy Savage was listed at 6'1" & 195 lbs while playing Minor League Baseball in the 1970's...probably his height in shoes/cleats. Most have said Randy Savage was 6'0" to 6'0.5" during his physical prime. Actually stood in vacinity of him in 1997 at the Charleston Civic Center. He was about 45 years old then. I'm 5'11" barefoot ...I had on 1.75" Skechers Logger boots. He had on what looked to be 2" cowboy boots. He was approximately 20 feet from me...he looked a strong 6'0" to me. Maybe 6'0.5"??? But, too hard to really judge from 20'ft away. He also had that darn big ass cowboy hat on too! Which can give you the appearance of being an inch taller than what you really are.

Rob, how tall would you say Savage was? DDP said in an interview that he didn't think Savage cracked 6 feet. Most picture of Hogan and Savage, Hogan looks to be heavily slouching down to make them look closer in height.

Editor Rob I'm sure Hulk did crouch and stand poor with Randy at times, at least from what I've seen it looks that way. 6ft max for Randy? I'm not so sure of that.

According to Hogan he said Sly was about 5ft 6 to 5ft 7 I heard some people say the he was very short dont forget Sly wears lifts in his shoes to make him appear about 5ft 10

@firecracker. You do realize that the picture of Hogan and Reigns is on a enclined road with Hogan on the downside of it. Look at the road and the trolley behind them. 6'3.5 to 6'4 is accurate for him no lower that 6'3.5 though.

Firecracker you've picked the worst photos of Hogan ever.
Peak 6'5- 6'6 max seems okay.
Currently 6'3-6'4.
It's obvious when you meet him in person that he's unable to straighten his legs and his body is drastically tilted one way.
If you look at photos of him from even the late 80's doing his double bicep pose you can see his back is already tilting to one side.

I disagree with you Vegas, Big Show's head and long torso can give the illusion of looking shorter just like with Andre, if your head is at least 12 to 13 it will appear so.

Firecracker, Hogan has terrible posture that pic with Roman Reigns. You can even see he knees are bent because he cant straighten them as well. Hogan still 6'3.5 straighten out. So 2.5 inch loss which is believable consider the amount of back and hip surgeries hes had.

well i think guesses on hogan that lies in the range from 6`5 `1/4 - 6`6 1/8 is is pretty fair. i still go with the one in the middle. 197 is what he genereally looked. and i can say he doesnt look taller than me. i think he could have been shorter by 2-3 mm even. today really hard to say with that back and knees. who knows if he measures 2-3 cm taller than he looks. its hard to tell becuase he is like one of the few in the world with a back broken as his. today he looks about 190 but measured i think 191,5

many of you think human body is like a puzzle. you can shrink if you have serious back problems and if you gain a lot of weight (fat) year by year. donald trump is and was in the 6ft range, he is 70 in good shape, he has always had a slim body, and he didn't have any back problem. he didn't shrink, maybe he lost a weak inch, he was max 6'0.75"(185cm), never been taller than that.
trump in his 40ies with an old ronald reagan who struggled with 6ft even when he was young. reagan was never taller than 5'11" in my opinion:Click Here. trump was as tall as an old reagan. no way trump was 6'2"(188cm) barefoot. don't joke.

hogan is as tall as roman reigns. So hogan nowdays is 6'2"(188cm). Hogan had serious back problems of course. how much did he shrink? i think a realistic shrinking can be 2-3 inches. So i think hogan was max 6'4.75"(195cm), peak barefoot. He was tall no doubt. You can't shrink 4-5-6 inches from 20 to 60!!! human body is not a puzzle!!!

Looked 1.25 iches taller than Brock a couple of years ago. So 6'3.25 now and 6'5.25 peak seems about right I think. So hard so call because his eye line is often the same as shorter guys but looks like he has quite a long head.

nowdays he is in the 6'2" (188cm) range.
Trump was himself 6'2" (188cm) at that time...the man is 70 years old now ffs. Hogan looks as I would have imagined a good 3 inches taller but not quite 4 inches. Leaving him again in the strong 6'5" range. Just like "Tiny" Lister said, the same as 6'9.5"-6'10" Kevin Nash claiming that he could see the top of his head so at least 4.5-4.75 inches taller. Hogan was 6'5" peak. Max 6'5.5".

62B, i think its the other way around! Hogan was in better shape and more muscular in late 70's / early 80's but got bulkier around his belly in mid/late 80's and became heavier, still being billed "only" 297-303.
____________________________-
In 1980, in person, Hogan was slightly taller and much larger muscle wise than my Grandfather who was at the time a little over 6'-4" and in the 280Lb range. I just can't see a peak Hogan under 6'5" and weight wise probably really close to the 300 lb mark. Today from pictures only, to me Hogan looks to be barely 6'3". He may even be under 6'3" by a fraction an inch. I would really like to meet him now as I bet He and I are very close in height.

Bill Fralic did NOT look heavier than Hulk Hogan in 1986!! Not at all...Hogan look easily 15-20 lbs heavier! They actually looked almost the exact same height! Hogan had a thicker/fatter neck...a thicker/fatter waist & stomach...his overall torso & chest was thicker ...not necessarily wider than Fralic...but, definitely thicker!! And his arms we a lot bigger than Fralic's! Their thighs looked to be about the same size! 1986 Fralic 6'5" & 280-285...1986 Hogan 6'5.5" & 300-305 lbs...no doubt!!' Hogan looked just as heavy and more muscular than 6'4.25" & 302 lbs Jim Covert in 1986 as well !!!

Try late 80's / 1990. He was at his very biggest back then and being billed 297-303, what does that tell you? Legit 6'5 / 280 lbs Bill Fralic looked both taller and more massive than what Hogan ever did, so 275 for Hogan when he was at his biggest seems about right. Before wwf and when he made his debut in 1979, he looked barely 260.
Whats insane is to believe that the biggest star in wwf/e was being billed smaller than he really was...

Hogan may have been more muscular in the late 80's early 90's, but he was for sure bigger in the late 70's early 80's when he as billed in around 330lbs

Legit 6'5 / 280 lbs Bill Fralic looked both taller and more massive than what Hogan ever did, so 275 for Hogan when he was at his biggest seems about right. Before wwf and when he made his debut in 1979, he looked barely 260.
Whats insane is to believe that the biggest star in wwf/e was being billed smaller than he really was...
_______________________________-
Hogan may have been more muscular in the late 80's early 90's, but he was for sure bigger in the late 70's early 80's when he as billed in around 330lbs

hm people genereally think he was almost 198 at peak. maybe he was that tall. when over 100 people guess its a proven fact that it will almost everytime be correct. well of course thats not really true but according to the guesses its safe to say he was strong 197 ore weak 198 guy at peak

He's not 295lbs by a long shot now he looks no more than 230lbs
----
He has never even been 295 lbs, MAYBE 275 at his biggest
275lbs peak??? When he was 13? This guy pre wwf alone was 310+. If you want to argue he wasn't a full 6'6 fine but to say that hulk hogan was never more then 275lbs is insane.
For me he was a hair under 6'6 ( 6'6 out of bed) and weighed 305-320 at his peak.
I believe he is 6'2.5 today

If Hogan did lose anything by the mid 90's it was 0.25 at best. He might have gone down from 6'5.25 to a flat 6'5 by the time he joined WCW.
He started to look under 6'5 towards the late 90's as that's when he started breaking down physically. He was likely a flat 6'4 by the time of his WWE return in 2002.

230!!! No way. I think your devaluing just how big of a guy he is, was , and structurally is supposed to be. While far from his peak he still has the bone structure of a big man even through joint degeneration and loss. He's nothing below 260 today.

In my opinion he'd lost height by 93, he was completely different person to 5 years earlier.
He'd been running hard on the road wrestling hundreds of times a year.
At 40 I'm not as tall as I was at 20 due to injury, it's easily possible the same would apply to Hogan.
___________________
He didn't have any severe injuries by that point. Plus, he looked identical next to Mean Gene in 1993 as he did in 1983. He looked the same next to Randy Savage and numerous other people as well. I've seen zero proof that he lost height by the mid 90s and lots of proof that he didn't. That fact combined with the fact that most men don't start losing height until their 40s (and even then it's minimal) makes me think that he didn't lose any height. He was never more than a solid 6'5" guy, maybe 6'5.5". He still looked about 6'5" by the time he got to WCW.

Hulk Hogan was billed at 303 lbs because Rocky was billed at 202 lbs and because they wanted to make the difference between him and monster heels seem bigger than it really was.
Here's Hogan billed at 6'8"+ 341 lbs.
Hogan isn't even at his peak size here.
Hogan on Johnny Carson and other peak weight appearances could easily been billed at 375 lbs+.
Click Here
Hogan was WELL over 300 lbs at real peak weight.
He could have been anywhere between 325 and 350 lbs, but I don't know the exact figure.
Hogan was never 350lbs or close to it. He looked low 300's at his peak...maybe 310lbs.

He's WAY over that, when I met I was with a 6'2 out of shape 300lb guy who you wouldn't give a second look at.
Just a regular but not overly big fat guy.
Hogan had a way bigger frame, the length and size of his hands and arms was surprising.
I could see him being anywhere from 260 to 290.
I imagine back in the mid 80's he was an incredible sight.
I know there are much bigger guys today but if you threw a 1988 Hulk Hogan in the WWE today he'd still be the most charismatic guy and I bet the red and yellow along with his size would make him a huge attraction.

No way in the world did he lose any height by 39 (1993). He was in great shape at that point and suffered zero loss in posture or agility. The average man doesn't lose an inch in height until their 80s. Plus, he looked identical in height next to everyone, including Mean Gene. Just like 6'5" Tiny Lister said, "Me and Hulk are both 6'5" in real life." Hogan was a solid 6'5" guy in his prime, may have dipped down to 6'4" by the early 2000s, and is a solid 6'3" now. His weight probably peaked at about 300lbs at various points in his career, and he probably did get down to 230-240lbs by 1994/1995.
___________________________________________--
I wouldn't say its impossible that Hogan hadn't lost any height by 39. I first noticed that I had lost a fraction of an inch in my later 30's. Now at 48 I have lost a little over 1/2".

what the problem with wrestlers is, particularry in the kayfabe era is billings of heights weight and origin on these pages, but in my view people posting on here for wrestlers see the minuim height posted somewhere on the internet and therefore presume they cant be, or ever have been taller than that height, instead of having there own opinon, so because john tenta at 22 was a sumo wrestler and it was published that he was 6'5 and 3/4 it must be true but ernie ladd being published at 6'9 in pro football cant be true because someone else on the web gives him 6'7 so i would say always give your own honest opinion and if posters here agree with you or not thats there choice and t hell with it so my estimation of heights would be these are peaks hogan just about 6'6 sid 6'7.5 taker 6'8 ernie ladd 6'9 kevin nash 6'10 big show 7'1 andre 7'1.5 and now hogan 6'3 sid 6'6 taker 6'6.5 old ladd 6'7 nash 6'9 show 6'10.75 old andre 6'11

He has a vacation home near where I grew up, so it is not uncommon to see him around. I walked past him once in a parking lot (flat surface) and he had at least 2 inches on me. I am 6'2.25 (barefoot) and was wearing flip flops so maybe stood 6'2.5 tall at the moment. I would've guess around 6'4 barefoot based off my assessment. He was wearing just regular sneakers. This was two years ago.

Most of the evidence does point to Hogan's peak actually being 6'5.
I think the fact he was billed as high as 6'9 greatly distorts everything cause you say to yourself how could a guy be billed THAT big without being close to it?
I think 6'6 is a bit of benefit of the doubt.
Maybe he was 6'6 before his first ever leg drop - the move which caused his spine to actually bend back in on itself which is how he has lost so much height now. Along with hip and knee surgeries, the Hulk is a shell of what he was but 6'6 is asking a bit too much of how tall he actually was if you ask me.

Around 8 inches on Mr T there BUT he has footwear advantage of at least 0.5 inch maybe more with those cowboy boots.
So maybe 7-7.5 inches on a 5'10-5'10.5" Mr T.
So again he was minimum a decent 6'5" guy. Maximum 6'6".

I still don't understand how anyone can think he was over 6'5" when fellow 6'5" Tiny Lister said they were the same height in 1989. The 6'6" announcer from Wrestlemania 2 said Hogan was his height or a little shorter. He was over an inch shorter than 6'7" billed Sid in 1992 when he was only 38. He was virtually the same height as 6'5" Jake Roberts. All the evidence in the world points to Hogan having been no more than a solid 6'5" guy in his prime. Anything over 6'6" is just ridiculous. Now we have clowns trying to say Hogan was over 6'7" when even he claimed to only be 6'7" in his prime.

Thank you David, all full length pictures with zero tilt, distance to camera or footwear advantages aside from one where Hogan had his cowboy boots on with T. He was slightly taller than the confirmed 6'7.5" Matuszack at his peak. But now watch what always happens, the usual suspects will go all out to try and diminish Matuszack's height and will say things like "he was never over 6'5" and will use photos taken that are half body or head shots with unknown ground, footwear or angles because they cannot admit the truth that is staring them right in the face with your pictures and others like the ones on that web page, that Hogan was well over 6'7" peak height.

Clearly more than 2 inches between trump and o'reilly there
________________
Vegas, you have to take into consideration the fact the O'Reilly was standing a bit in front of Trump for most of that segment. The best part to compare heights is at the 10 second mark. It is at this point that they are truly side-by-side. Trump comes up to the upper-middle part of O'Reilly's forehead. Bill's hair makes him seem a little taller than he really is next to Trump. I think Bill is 6'4" and Trump is 6'1.5" barefoot and may measure 6'3" in the right shoes; especially in his prime. There is about 2.5" between them, although it looks like more at first glance.

I remember watching his biography on the biography channel years ago. At the start, the narrator stated that he was almost 6'5'' tall. I don't think he was any taller than this at peak. I am also very friendly with old school British wrestler Rollerball Rocco who I can confirm at 5'8''. I have seen a photo of the 2 together from around the 80s and Hogan look at very best 6'3'' in it.

Dicksock, Trump is 6'3" right now. He did a complete physical before the election and the results were shared on Dr. Oz show. Trump is 6'3" and 230lbs now, so 6'2" is way too low, he was clearly closer to 6'4" peak.
---------------------
So what height is Bill O'Reilly if Trump is 6'3 today...6'7?
_________________________________________________________________
There is not 4" between them. O'Reilly is 6'4" and Trump is a solid 2" shorter. Trump is probably 6'1.5"-6'2" now and would measure 6'3" in decently heeled dress shoes or sneakers; especially in the morning. Not all nurses make patients take off their shoes when gathering height and weight info. They may not have even measured him at all. I've had that happen to me. His specific height is inconsequential to his health. There is no way Trump is 6'3" barefoot now. Even his own drivers license from his prime lists him at 6'2", and obviously he provided the license bureau with that height when he got the card.

Anonymous, one problem with your last post. Hogan was no where near his largest when he shot Rocky 3, he had just come back from a long stint in Japan where he dropped about 20 lbs from their diet. He was his largest a few years earlier when he was managed by Fred Blassie, there is a picture and video of Hogan all beefed up with 26" biceps at the time and he weighed 340lbs, throughout the 80's he hovered around 310lbs.

Dicksock, Trump is 6'3" right now. He did a complete physical before the election and the results were shared on Dr. Oz show. Trump is 6'3" and 230lbs now, so 6'2" is way too low, he was clearly closer to 6'4" peak.
---------------------
So what height is Bill O'Reilly if Trump is 6'3 today...6'7?

Hogan was billed 6'6 in the late 70s/early 80s so that's the absolute peak he could have been but he was circa Barry windhams peak height in truth

Trump is 6'3" and 230lbs now, so 6'2" is way too low, he was clearly closer to 6'4" peak. Medical records are the absolute proof of someone's size. And Hogan was no more than 1-2 inches shorter than Davidson, which is correct since he was right between 6'6"-6'7" at the time. There are much better pictures of a young Hogan, full body shots side by side with Christopher Lloyd who was 6'1" minimum and Hogan was over a half foot taller with little to no shoe advantage, he was 3-4 inches taller with no advantage over 6'4" men like Buster Douglas in the 80's. Anything under 6'6.5-6'7.5" is way too low for a peak Hogan.

Anonymous...was John Matuszak barefoot in the pic with Hogan? No! You said he had old school 0.875" aka 7/8" converse sneakers! Hogan's cowboy boots were 2" heels! 2.75" is total non sense !! If That means Hogan would've had a 1" to 1.25"footwear advantage...I do recall this pic, John looked 0.5" to 0.75" taller. Factor in the footwear advantage...makes a barefoot John 1.75" taller than a Hogan. Which gives you what 95% of us all have always assumed on both men at their peaks!
John Matuszak: 6'7.25" to 6'7.5"
Hulk Hogan: 6'5.5" to 6'5.75"

There's a pic that floats around here of John Matuszak and Hogan. It's from 1982, Hogan is at his biggest(right before Rocky 3 came out) its when Hogan was in Verne Gagne's organization and was being billed at 6'8-6'9 340-350 at the time(even 6'8.5 346 in a Mean Gene interview) Hogan has those giant brown cowboy boots on that must have a 2.75 inch heel. Matuszak has converse all star tennis shoes on that have no heel, almost flats and he has a haircut, so is out his customary mini Afro from that time and is on the injured reserved list from having herniated disk back surgery that ended his career.
Matuszak is about the exact same height as Hogan, so if Matuszak was 6'8 then Hogan was about 2.5 inches shorter and thus 6'5.5.(unless Matuszak was 6'10.5-6'11+
Also Hogan looked a little heavier but not much, so I'm thinking at best, a 315 give or take Hogan, to a 300 give or take Matuszak. Unless Matuszak was 325-335.
This Jives with the 6'8 Ben Davidson picture where Davidson is about a big cowboy heel amount taller than Hogan also.(Hogan looked about 50 pounds heavier than a 260ish elder Davidson)

Here is a video from 1989 of Hogan on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous with Robin Leach:

Leach claims to be 5'11" 190 lbs and Hogan dwarfs him in size and height.
_____________________________________________________________
hate these heightliers, LOL, hate real deep hate serious :(

Look at 1:57 Hogan has flat footwear
Look at 2:01 and 2:04, Leach is about 1 inch taller than 5ft7.5in Meane Gene next to Hogan.
______________
I would say Leach was closer to 5'10" at his peak. He was only about 4" shorter than 6'2" peak Donald Trump. Click Here
At the time of that picture, I think Trump was still around 6'1.5" and Leach was around 5'9.5". He was probably about 5'10" in his prime and 5'11" in shoes.

RP, have to disagree with Jake being 6'4 range peak, since he had a bit more that 5 inches on the Honky Tonk Man and held his own with Hogan. I say 6.5 or maybe he was a weak 6'6. He could be 6'4 range today though
I am dying to know what Rob thinks

Mayfield, Jake did give the impression of being a strong 6'5" to 6'5.5" many times...however, Jake LOoooooved him some cowboy boots & ultra thick healed wrestling boots. In normal footwear with other 6'4" to 6'6" men...Jake was proven to be 6'4.5" to 6'4.75" ...

He does look 6ft7 w/h Jake Roberts. Don't know about the shoes though...
______________
I'm not seeing 2" between them there. The line appears to be going through the top of Roberts's head and Hogan's hair is exaggerating the difference. I'm seeing less than 1" between them. There are several other videos of them where they looked the same height; especially when Jake was in his ring gear. I think it's pretty clear based on all the evidence that Hogan was about 6'5"/6'5.5" at his tallest.

I'm basing my 5'10.5" guess on a younger near peak 1980's Robin Leach, on Don King having him by 3.5" & Leach being 1.25" to 1.5" taller than 5'9"-ish Michael Jackson (Jackson was in a big healed boot too) Don King's 1959 arrest record has him @ 6'2" & 230 lbs.

Google images Robin Leach & Toby Keith! Great comparison to Hulk & Robin! Hulk was about 2" taller on Leach than Toby Keith was. Toby Keith claims 6'4"...but, more like 6'3" & change...6'3.5" Max had always been my guess on him ...plus, Leach was much older in the pic with Keith & had probably lost some height. Also, Just looked at a bunch of pics of Leach with random celebs from the 1980's & 1990's ...and he really does look a legit 5'10.5",,, to possibly 5'11" at his ultimate peak. I'll go 5'10.5" on Leach.

Yeah I see what you mean with the height difference.
Sometimes I think cause my hair is spiked up high and he's bald, that it gives the illusion of more height difference than is really there or maybe he isn't 6ft tall - guess I'll never know for sure. He did tell me he thought he was was 6'1" - maybe I'm taller than I think lol

Well there is more than an inch and a half between the supposed 6ft and 6'1.5 guy at least in that photo. We would have to see footwear, ground and stance to make a more of an informed observation.

@RP thanks for your thoughts. I can actually see that being possible. I will also admit, that when talking to the guy (who is in both pics)
and I when I asked who he thought was taller out of me or Hulk - he said Hulk.
I am ready to move my guesstimation of Hulk to at least 6'3" today. Which would lead me to believe he had to be at least 6'5" peak.
So I apologize to all I argued against in the past.

Hulk Hogan was billed at 303 lbs because Rocky was billed at 202 lbs and because they wanted to make the difference between him and monster heels seem bigger than it really was.

Hogan was "billed" as nearly 7' and 390 lbs in Rocky III. But as Tiny Lister said, he and Hulk were really both 6'5" 300 lbs.

IMO peak evening:
30% - 6ft5.5in
50% - 6ft5.25in
20% - 6ft5in flat
I doubt Hogan was ever 330-350lbs range. Can´t see that.
Usually 290-295lbs through the eighties and 305-310lbs at his heaviest.
With all these kayfabe billings people seem to forget, how big a well trained 6ft5in 300lbs guy in reality is...

Here's Hogan billed at 6'8"+ 341 lbs.
Hogan isn't even at his peak size here.
Hogan on Johnny Carson and other peak weight appearances could easily been billed at 375 lbs+.

Hogan was WELL over 300 lbs at real peak weight.
He could have been anywhere between 325 and 350 lbs, but I don't know the exact figure.

At 3:56, Lister comments on Hogan accidentally breaking his nose during "No Holds Barred". He said, "when a 300 lb man hits another 300 lb man, something gives, and it was my nose."
He also said he was 287 before filming and got up to 305 and that he and Hogan were both 6'5". Hogan was 6'5"/6'5.5" and AROUND 300 lbs. Game over.

He also said he was 287 before filming and got up to 305 and that he and Hogan were both 6'5". Hogan was 6'5"/6'5.5" and AROUND 300 lbs. Game over.

Legit 6'5 280 lbs Bill Fralic is a good comparison, and he looked both taller and more massive next to John Studd than what Hogan ever did.

dicksock, you're the one not knowing what you are talking about. If Hogan was "well over 300 lbs" irl then he would had been billed 350+ to say atleast, more likely 400+. Thats math for kids... Legit 6'5 280 lbs Bill Fralic is a good comparison, and he looked both taller and more massive next to John Studd than what Hogan ever did.
So can we end this crap now?
_____________
Once again, you are clueless. Bill Fralic was known more massive than Hogan as his biggest?! What a joke. You are just making a complete assumption about what Hogan would have been billed at. I live in the real world. I've been friends/acquaintances with dozens of big tall guys. I myself am a big heavy muscular guy. I know what I'm talking about when I tell you Hogan was at least 290 lbs at his heaviest and probably was over 300 lbs at certain points. Just look at him on Johnny Carson. He was easily around 6'5" 300 lbs. He was huge. By the way Hogan was billed at nearly 340 lbs in 1980 at Shea Stadium against Andre.

Steve, Samuelsson was a legit 6'6 and usually weighed 144-148 kg (316-325 lbs) during his competition, often rounded up to 150 kg (330 lbs) and he had legit 24 inch arms.
This is getting ridiculous... the fankids in here believe that the biggest name in wrestling was bigger(!) than his BILLED(!) stats. LOL! Fact is that Hogan was not even CLOSE to Magnus size, even when he was bigger than usually (fatter) in late 80's and in 1990 he was billed 303 lbs but in reality he was 280 tops and his arms were nothing more than 20. And how could he been 330 lbs at some point?! in late 70's when he was making his debut he didnt look to be over 260 lbs, especially considering that he was tops 6'4

I doubt they were above 22", but that is still huge. Look at him at his biggest:

Kevin Nash said before he became a Wrestler was @ a Wrestling show and he said he was surprised Hogan was 6ft 4 not 6ft 9 like they had billed him and this was probably in the early 80's And he knows hogan good now so i assume the 6ft 4 guess was right ??

I've told the story many times here. In 1980 Hogan stopped right next to my family on his way to the ring. He was slightly taller than my 6'4 1/2"ish at the time Grandfather. The more I talk to my Mother about my Grandfathers height the more I believe Hogan was at least 6'5" but no more than 6'5.5"

Undertaker Frank there is no way Hogan was only 6ft 4 at his peak, he was an absolute minimum 6ft 5 and a solid 6ft 5 at that. I have no trouble believing he was 6ft 5.5 when he was younger (late 70's early 80s). He never looked over 6ft 6 though. His arms may have been 23 - 24 inches at their largest, remember Hogan was 330lbs at one point in the early 80s. He was a similar size (height and weight) to Magnus Samuelsson (strongman) who had 24 inch arms.

I just came across this video of Hogan that I haven't seen in many years. It's his appearance on the Rachel Ray show from 2008. During this appearance, she measured Hogan's arms, and they were still 20". Clearly if they were 20" in 2008, they would have been at least 22" at his absolute biggest. Click Here
This has no relationship to his height, but I think Hogan's arms were about 22" at their biggest. I have no reason to believe that Rachel Ray was kayfabing her audience, and Hogan's arms still looked pretty impressive. But if you look at him on the Johnny Carson show, I think his arms were much bulkier their and probably not too far from the 24" billing. Again, probably around 22".
Just YouTube Hogan arm measure, they measure his arm on Vinces show.. They come out to 24 inches and they even do a close up of it, I'm guessing everyone will say it's fake lol

Hulk may of had a tired routine in the ring after seeing it over and over but he was actually a pretty good worker much better than he gets credit for. Hogan had more charisma in his pinky finger than Sammartino had in his whole body. The Hulk Hogan character was easily the greatest of all time and it's not even close. You can argue over 2nd to 10th but Hulk will always be #1. Andre, Stone Cold, Piper, Savage, Rock, Taker were all the biggest draws of their time at some point but Hulk is biggest draw of all-time. Hulk and Vince built sports entertainment as we know it.

Leonardo, yes sir...Bruno definitely momentarily went off script and Let us all know that Hogan was actually 6'5" & change likely (6'5.5")...since he also said possibly 6'6"...and.... (not 6'7") , about 320 lbs with 22" inch arms (not 24")...even though being obviously set up by Vince to boast about how big the Incredible Hulk Hogan was...who Vince SR was billing at the time @ 6'8" & 320-325 lbs with 24" arms & 60" chest. I think Bruno gave Hogan's real measurements on purpose. Do to the fact that he did not like Hulk Hogan & couldn't stand the fact that the McMahon's were giving such a strong push from day one on a man who had next to zero real wrestling skills...LOL!

Wow, you are reading WAY too much in to his comments. There were no scripts back then for him to go off of. He was probably just honestly estimating Hogan's height and measurements. He had nothing against Hogan. In case you don't know, Hogan had about as much technical wrestling skills as Bruno. Bruno was like the Hogan of his day. He was never a Dory Funk or Jack Brisco in the ring. He was a punch/kick power guy who did a little bit of "scientific" wrestling. I've heard Lord Alfred Hayes estimate the Undertaker's height at 6'6" or 6'7" in 1991. It wasn't because he didn't like Taker, he was probably just guessing. But yes, Hogan was very obviously more like 6'5"/6'5.5" than 6'7".

Thats also an interesting show you linked dicksock, Dwayne Johnson also appeared on it apparently in 08' and he looks the same next to her as Hogan.
So Hogan was the same height as Peak "The Rock" in 08'.

@Junior31 - I think your real close on his height of 6'2.5" today.
He may even be down to 6'2". A friend of mine took a pic with
him side by side at a signing a couple years ago. I took a pic
with my friend in a similar side by side position and I am the same
height as Hulk in comparison. I'm 6'1.75" barefoot.
There's no doubt he's lost height since his 20's but I don't think
he's lost 3".

How could Hogan be 6-6 if Undertaker and Psycho Sid who are both listed at that height on this site had at least an inch each(closer to 2) on him in the early 90's?

Undertaker's peak height is listed at 6'7.5" on this site bro. Sid's peak height is listed as 6'6.75". Honestly, Taker and Sid were both about 6'7" peak and Hogan was about 6'5.5". Both Sid and Taker are about 6'5.5"-6'6" today and Hogan is roughly 6'3" or a tad more.

Cobra; answer to that is easy, Sid was over 6'7"and wore big lifts to make him over 6'9" in his boots, and Taker was over 6'8" barefoot. Taker never looked any more than an inch taller than Hogan in the early 90's. Hogan despite what some try to purport on here as truth has lost over 3" of height he can't get back. He was down to 6'4", then had his spins fixed finally which gets him closer to 6'5" if he bothers to stand straight and tall which he seldom does. I've personally seen him and met him both when he was young in his 30's and when he was 61 years young and he lost a tremendous amount of height. Hip replacements and knee replacements along with bone being shaved down and removed from his joints combined with the big curve at the bottom of his spine is the reason and anyone who says different is in denial.

Dude probably lost some height but his peak was less than 6'6 Undertaker had like a 6'8 peak and I bet he was at least 2.5 inches shorter in the 80s.

I met Bret in 2001 as well and he didn't look easily 6ft then, of course a 6ft+ Bret would increase the heights of Bulldog, Owen, Pillman, Neidhart among others

I met Shawn Michaels in a bar back in the late 80's. He looked around 6'1" in the cowboy boots he was wearing, so his barefoot height was probably around 5'11'", and Hart always looked about an inch taller to me, but I've also heard that Brett wore lifts

Bret and Shawn were 2 inches shorter than Curt Hennig and Hennig was 1.5 inches shorter than 6'3 nfl listed Steve Jordan
I can't even make out Bret's footwear in your clip
