LV do you really believe Hogans forehead is 2 inches longer than Jims given their eyeline positions or is it more possible hogan is closer to the camera??

Here is a picture of Hogan and the Rock (Click Here). Pay close attention to the higher of the two lines and factor out the Rock's hair and Hogan has close to an inch on him. This is Hogan WELL past his peak. You can see that a peak Hogan is considerably taller than HBJ (Click Here).

i dont think so.i saw hillbilly jim next to edge and he had about 2 inches on him.both were wearing regular footwear.and everyone agrees that edge is about 6'3ish and that is a fact because edge was around the same height as the incredible shrinking hogan,and that was back in 02-03.hillbilly jim is also in great shape these days.i also remember the godfather being billed at 6'6 he is nowere near that.hillbilly as well had him by 1 1/2 to 2 inches.godfather is a tad over 6/3 is what my guess will be.also who was taller uncle elmer or giant haystacks?

A 6"5.75 peak is likely, and he's lost about 2 inches, making him around 6"3.5/6"3.75 currently with good posture, bad posture - can look 6"3.

Hogan and Dwayne Johnson "The Rock" appear to have exactly the same height. Both are 6'4". Also Lou Ferrigno is 6'4", but only Hasselhoff who described his height as 6'4" is 6'4 1/2" in my and others opinion.

hogan is looking alot shorter these days.especially always being seen in public with with legit 6'3-6'5 guys like connan,ferrigno,and hasselhoff.can it be his age? he has the physic of a 30 year old but is jacked up like a 80 year old.the rock only looked 6'3ish in person. hillbilly jim did indeed look very tall at wwe axxess.6'5 i would say.

Well, Dwayne Johnson replied that his height is 6'4" on an interview and I think he wouldn't lie. That would make Hogan make at least 6'4". I'd give Hogan 6'4 1/2" but he is no taller than David Hasselhoff, who described his height as 6'4" too but keep in mind: Hasselhoff is one of the celebrities who are downgrading their heights. So Hasselhoff could be a least 6'4 1/2", if not, then almost 6'5".

I can perhaps say that Hogan's peak height was 6' 5. It's not uncommon for 6' 5 guys to get billed at 6' 8. But Hogan's peak at 6' 3 is just simply absurd. 6' 3 is too common of a height to fake at 6' 8. In fact, 6' 5 is kinda pushing it too, but it's easy to give someone 2" lifts and make them "close enough" to a height, than it to give someone 4" lifts.

Hulk was at most 6'5.75 310+ at his peak. That would take him up to 6'8-6'8.25 with the big boots on, which is how they measured heights for the wrestlers back in the 70's-80's. 6'5 290 in 90's. Small 6'4 280 today.

Its Hogan's larger than average head that makes him look shorter than Conan/Hasselhoff/Ferigno etc. There's no doubt that 25 years ago he'd have cleared all 3 by at least an inch.

Here is Hogan being interviewed by Gordon Solie. Hogan looks 6'5 max here if Solie is 5'6. In the beginning when Hogan stands straight he has Solie by a headsize, maybe even a hair more. This would make Hogan 6'5 in his prime. No big news really.

Fully upright, at maximum posture I think Hogan would still be 6"4. The only time we ever saw him recently do that was on Conan, and he was taller than Conan by 1-2".
No he wasn't. Hogan was a few feet closer to the camera than Conan.
Topweed, I do believe that Hogan was just shy of 6'6" in his prime (late 70's-late 80's) and is just over 6'3" today. Close to 3" height and not discluding the age factor (which may have shaved 1" off his height, I believe a good chunk of the remainder of the loss (2") comes from multiple surgeries.

So wait, we're saying that Hogan is 6' 3 today, and back in his prime, he was 6' 6/7" ? That's a very significant height loss... I don't think I buy that. I can see him going from 6' 6 to 6' 4 maybe, but man... if we take the extremes of his height, then that would be a 4 inch difference.

This is getting ridiculous. When I was a kid, I thought Hogan was 6' 8... and then it dropped to 6 6/7... then when I heard he was 6' 4, I was taken aback... but over time, I have learned to accept that... and now we're debating that the man is 6' 3.5 or even less?? How tall is Sylvester Stallone, like 5' 5??

When anyone is in the public eye for a real long time, they have two heights, one when they were young, say in their 20's. And one when they get real old, say when they get to about 50 and beyond. So many times I see guys in there 40's,50's and 60's and people try to judge that as being a true height. Everybody trys to put a peak height on hogan in the mid to late late 80's and even the early 90's. A peak hogan height should be from the mid to late 70's when hardly anyone even knew who he was, like about a 1977 terry boulder when he was about 23 or 24. He had hair and was in great shape, by about 1988 he already was at the grind for 11 or 12 years, was bald and about 35 years old. Like a football player in retirement. I think a YOUNG hogan was 6'5.75 and the 54 yr old hogan is 6'3.75.

I know Greg got/gets alot of bad rep for his claim height pic with Hogan, but remember this was in the 1980's where Hogan was being built up as a 6'7 to 6'8 man (obv hes not those 2 heights) and Greg said Hogan had sneakers (who knows what was in them) but I saw Hogan with Donald trump and Andre the Giant 1988-1990 and Hogan made the 6'2 6'3 Trump look not too tall (Hogan had Trump by several inches more then Greg above obv but enough to see a decent gap) WE need a pic of Hogan with Trump and Greg circa de 2008 to see what the "current" difference is then we can make our assumptions

Hogan's current posture is terrible, he always seems to bending forwards, even when he had his staredown with 6"3 "The Rock" in 2002, he was slouching and was still about 0.5" taller, so his current height is hard to pin down. He has looked roughly 7-8 shorter than 7"1 Dalip "Great Khali" Singh in a 2007 staredown, which would put him around 6"5.

For guinness world records they use an average height of ten measurements over the day.

Red, other the height discussions are endless because there are people who have my opinion to use the morning height and other people who have your opinion and people who think the evening height is the correct height. What d you mean with "lots of respect for Glenn" and "BS"? I mean, I trust Glenn too but your comment "respect" does not match our discussion I guess. Please use the general height discussion for further discussions. And Hogan doesn't even look a hair taller than Dwayne Johnson. Both are from around 6'3" and 6'4".

It is not accurate to make a decision based on a picture that doesn't show the footwear of Hasselholf and Hogan. I still beleive Hogan is 6'4 because he has looked it on numerous occasions, especially besides conan o brian, or next to the Rock. I might be wrong but I think that Hasselholf and Hogan would be the same height if they were both barefoot and if Hogan stood up straight like Hasselholf. Macken Greg isn't 6 feet tall he is closer to 5'11, maybe not even a full 5'11 making Hogan only about 6'6 and not 6'7 in the picture.

Hogan, in the mid 1980's, was over 300lbs without question...from 1979 - 1981 he was about 320lbs. The guy was a monster.
As for his height, I'd say 6'4" tall is about right for now and maybe 6'6" in his prime.

hasselhoff is wearing cowboy boots there, i posted the photo of him and his daughter from later in the night which are giving him 1.8". Hogan is wearing a kind of hiking boot which would be giving him about 1.3-1.4" so hoff has the footwear advantage too.

Anonymous does have a point, but if you notice you will see that throughout the 80's Hulk Hogan bodyslammed every single one of his opponents including andre, but if you watch his matches into the 90's one can see that he wasn't able to do that any longer. This is when his finisher became big boot to the face and then leg drop instead of bodyslam and leg drop. So his body was becoming significantly weaker into the 90's which means he was probably undergoing surgeries which perhaps resulted in a considerable height loss. I am not saying that Hogan never bodyslammed anyone in the mid 90's I am just saying that he severely restricted that move. So please don't post one match in which HUlk Hogan bodyslams someone when he was in the NWO, to prove me wrong. Thank You

Think about it, Hulk is on record as saying he was 6'7, at least as late as 1991, and then said he was 6'4 by 2005. Fine, if his body got so screwed up in the 90's that he went from NBA height to regular tall guy height then he should have been truly debillatated in the 90's, cane, no more ruuning around. Instead what went on, the wrestling went right on going, action movies left and right,he was literaly more active than ever, he was doing everything. He can't have it both ways, if you lose 3 inches that fast at that young of an age, you maybe can still walk ok, but your not living life in 5th gear anymore. If someone I knew was 6'7 at age 38 and then was 6'4 at age 50 it would be freaky I would be like geez dude, are you dieing.

JT: I'm not sure of your reference in the Hulk-Sid fuzzy photo. I thought a fibula was "a bone located on the lateral side of the tibia, with which it is connected above and below. It is the smaller of the two bones, and, in proportion to its length, the most slender of all the long bones. Its upper extremity is small, placed toward the back of the head of the tibia, below the level of the knee-joint, and excluded from the formation of this joint. Its lower extremity inclines a little forward, so as to be on a plane anterior to that of the upper end; it projects below the tibia, and forms the lateral part of the ankle-joint."

To be honest with you, Hogan did seem to hold his own height wise against anybody in the early 90's. But I still think losing that much height would have an effect on your body. He might have had lifts.

I might be wrong but I have always doubted sid's footwear not only because does he seem to have big soles but also because when he broke his leg coming off the top rope the whole thing didnt look like it would happen if Sid had nothing in his boots. I think sid packed some big lifts inside his shoes causing him to lose balance when he came down from the top rope.

Shooster Hogan was never 6'9. The reason being wwf would have wanted to bill him higher than 6'9 if he truly was 6'9 but they billed him at 6'8 meaning he was under that. I would say Hogan was about 6'6 peak and now he is probably 6'4 or maybe a liile under the 6'4 mark.

"I believe hogan to be 6'9 3/4 peak height.he was always atleast an inch taller then the 6'8 john studd"
No disrespect intended, but Hogan was never taller than Big John Studd. I used to watch wrestling a lot in the 80s and the only person I recall who was taller than John Studd was Andre the Giant.

Hey biased JT, why don't you compare PRE and POST 1990 pics/movies of Hogan with Vince McMahon, where Hogan has 4" on him in the 80's and then has about an 1" on him in the 00's?? EH JT? Why don't you??? While you're at it, why don't you post BOTH pics of Hogan with Hilbilly Jim in 1985 and 1989 and then post pics of him with Hilbilly in 2003" Eh JT? Lastly, go and post comparison of Hogan with Ed Leslie, where he has 4" BLOODY on him in the late 70's and is NOT the same height as him on Hogan Knows Best!!
Ladies and gentleman, he WON'T, because he KNOWS that Hogan has lost considerable height. For all the rest of you, go and educate yourselves, because the TRUTH is out there.

I doubt Fralic wore bigger boots than Studd there. Fralic was only hired by the WWF for a one-off appearance at Wrestlemania II. Studd is the one who's height is being exaggerated to 6'10. So if Fralic is 6'5, WWE would probably never let the guy wear bigger footwear than the biggest wrestlers they have to make the make the height difference between them even smaller than it already is.

I think that Hogan was about 6'5.75 back in 1980, about 6'5 by the end of the 80's when he was bald, about 6'4 by the 2000's when age and "other things" took their toll, which is WHY I'm perplexed by the Fralic pics.

I'm not trying to downgrade Hogan's peak height down to 6'4, in fact my opinion is that he was 6'5.75 when he was young, I'm just puzzled as to why when you bring in someone with a height from outside the wrestling world like a 6'5 Fralic and he is all but the same height as Studd, who was the 2nd tallest guy in wrestling in the 80's behind Andre, it makes you wonder. I don't care what anybody says, Hogan was 2+ inches shorter than Studd in the early 80's. I always thought that Studd was 6'8 but that video has me confused. Maybe I should just assume that Fralic was 6'6 and that he had boots on.

Hogan had alot of matches with Studd in the 80's and they would do the Roman Knuckle thing and I would say that Hogan at best was a goodt 2 inches shorter than Studd the way Fralic is 1 inch shorter. Which is wild because I here that Fralic was only 6'5, that suggests a 6'4 peak Hogan, and an absolute peak of maybe 6'7 for Studd. If Fralic does not have cowboy boots on or something, Hogan's and Studd's height's were hyped to epic perportions.

That is an interesting observation anonymous because I also didn't see much difference between Fralic and Studd. There was definetly a bigger difference between Studd and Hogan. Is there any way that Fralic had on bigger footwear or could he possibly be taller than 6'5. I am just curious because for some reason 6'4 peak sounds wrong for Hogan because that would make Andre like 6'9 which I dont think is possible, is it?

Hulk was never 6'7. He was maybe 6'5.75 in the Rocky 3 days,that would put him at 6'7.75-6'8 in boots. If he was 6'7 that would make him 6'9-6'9.25 in boots and he was just never that tall.

I have a observation that I do not think anybody accounts for when analyizing "in the ring" staredown heights. That it is not a flat, constant surface, it sags and dips under the weight of wrestlers, its almost like a floating shock absorber, and in the corners, one is heigher up than if they were in the middle of the ring. So if one guy is alot heavier than the other guy, he is going to sink in more than the other guy and be preceived as not being as tall as he would otherwise be, This would explain alot of pics, like the Studd/Fralic pics, a 350lbs studd, 285lbs Fralic, or a 520lbs Giant with a 295lbs Hogan. The real heavy guys in the ring are going to experience "sinkage".

For the last time !!!!!!!!! Hulk Hogan's "TRUE" barefooted height at his peak was 6'4.75" !!!!!! Making him about 6'5.5" to 6'6" in regular Footwear, and 6'6.5" in boots !!! Jeez ! I'm not for certain what he is now...looks to be about 6'3" to 6'3.5" barefooted. However, during the epic 1987 Wrestlemania III battle with Andre. A true tale of the tape was performed on the two wrestlers. Hogan's barefoot height was 6'4.75" and Andre's barefoot height was 7'0.5" Hogan weighed 294...and Andre weighed 525. Hogan's 24" pythons were actually 22" and his chest was 55". Andre's arms were 19.5" and his chest was 71". And Andre's waist was an amazing 58" and his thighs were 35". Hogan's waist was 38", and his thighs were 29".

No, Davidson did not have to take 4 seconds and body slam obese men, he han to wrestle for real with 280 lbs men who were all muscle, all week long in practice and in games for 13 years,17 including college. And these guys were fighting back for real, not acting like they fighting back. That's much better for the back, neck and knees. the average guy that hogan body slammed was a 240 lbs guy who was jumping up into his arms for him.

Ha ha. Andre never saw 7 feet on his best day. Maybe 6-10 to 6-11.
Looking at Hulk on "Hogan Knows Best," you can see that the guy has trouble just walking these days. I think he's headed for a wheelchair before long.

That's odd, Anonymous. I recall one of Hulk's WM III interviews with Mean Gene Okerlund where Hulk said he had a "32 inch neck, a 64 inch chest, and the largest arms in the world!" I have the VHS tape with that interview. As LV asks, "Do you have any proof?"

Hulk hogan claims to have lost height because of surgeries which had to be done because of the crazy activity he did in the ring such as bodyslam the 500+ pound Andre the giant twice and KIng Kong Bundy a few times along with other very obese wrestlers. People in other professions don't do such crazy things so they don't lose as much height as did hogan by age 50 Davidson might not have lost as much height as anonymous suggests because he didn't have to slam obese men.

Interesting comparison on American Gladiators on Sunday night. In between events, "Wolf" stood next to Hulk for a brief interview. Wolf is "listed" or "billed" at 6'4" and 225 lbs. HULK WAS AT LEAST AN INCH TALLER THAN WOLF! Does anyone know the inside scoop on Don Yates, the guy that plays Wolf???

I don't have anything against Hogan, in fact I like him, but I find it funny that everyone he is pictured with is assumed to be at their peak height, even if they are 60 years old in order to justify his epic height loss. When only he get's to say he's lost like 3.5 inch by age 50. If he can lose height, other ex-athletes and celebs who are old also can be down an inch or more too. I mean, Tom Glavine is a geizzer, Ozzie Smith is a real geizzer both of which played forever and were subject to the same riggers of being a pro athlete and I'm sure those two are not the same height as they were when they were 25 either.

Even if hogan is only 2 inches shorter than davidson, remember this is a 44 yr old davidson who was retired for 12 years, with a 30 yr old peak hogan, and davidson was often put at 6'7.

I'm beginning to think that some of these lengendary wrestlers like hulk were so much shorter than advertized. One only needs to look at Studd/Fralick photos and see Studd only being about an inch taller than 6'5 Fralick. Hogan was always at least 2 inch shorter than studd even back in the early 80's. And studd and hogan were listed at 6'11 - 6'8 respectivly, makes one think of a 6'6 studd and a 6'4 hogan.

Who says that the 6'5 actor is shorter than Hogan! they are the exact same height to a tee even though he is in a "at ease" position. And Hogan has cowboy boots on!!!!!!! If the 6'5 guy so much as stands up stright like Hogan I think he would be about a hair taller.

Looks to me from that photo that Davidson has almost three inches on the Hulkster. 1) They're both wearing cowboys boots. 2) Hogan is standing board straight with both feet planted, while Ben is on one foot and leaning over. 3) Even leaning, Davidson looks about two inches taller. Now, how tall is Davidson???

Why is it that Ben davidson found it necessary to wear cowboy boots if he was that comfortable with his height. I am not saying davidson wore lifts I am just saying anything is possible. I might be wrong. If you look at Hogan and Andre you can see how tall hogan truly is. I am sorry if I insulted you Gramps.
Hulk Fan: No insult taken, in fact it was MY comment that was snidely. I think we are actually in agreement about Hogan's peak height (I say 6'5.5" to 6'6"). My only point is I think Ben Davidson is a straight-forward guy who would never think to wear lifts. If he wore cowboys boots it's just that he felt like wearing cowboy boots, not that he wanted to look taller.

I didn't see the HKB show, but didn't you say that Hogan tried on his old jeans from the 1980s that fit, except at the waist? IMO, Hogan's height loss is a combination of the normal aging process (maybe 0.5" to 0.75

JT thats true, not sure the name of the episode but it may have been the one where they move house to miami. i have the whole first season on my pc so that leaves about another 37 episodes to look through, lol, there are four or five HKB episodes on tv each night over here on various channels like mtv, mtv1, hits, vh1 etc so i will come across it again some night hopefully and then post a link to it on here.
anyways in the episode linda is cleaning out the house and finds a load of old clothes in the closet, she picks up a pair of jeans and hogan says something along the lines of "wow i haven't seen those for like 20 years i wonder if they still fit", so he tries them on and they fit perfectly leg wise but he can't get them to close or even close to closing; in fact it looked like he had put on alot of extra inches around the waist over time, its crazy how a 300lb man could have a lean waist back in the day

Hulk Fan, the davidson pic is the zubruter pic of Hogan's peak height. I saw the show and davidson was 2-2.25 inch taller, about the heel of a cowboy boot. If davidson went barefoot he would have been the same height as hogan,and hogan's heals were huge, the same size as davidson's. Davidson was an old retired NFL guy who was documented as a big 6'7 small 6'8, probably 6'8. The pic is from late 1984, a near peak hogan, who did have a little more hair in about 1980. It proves that hogan was no more than 6'6 peak and no less than 6'5. 6'5.75 peak for hogan and maybe as little as 6'5.25. It really is not any slight to hogan's height, a legit 6'5.75 barefoot is really tall and being just a couple of inches shorter than a guy who was maybe the tallest guy in the NFL when he was playing could be spun as showing that hogan was quite tall. It just puts a ceiling of 6'6 on an early 80's hogan.

We should have the heights of other older wresters on this website. For example King kong bundy, Big John Studd, Iron sheik etc. This is because if we compare the heights of all these wrestlers with Hogan that will give us a good estimation of how tall Hogan is. I personally thought Hogan looked 2-3 inches taller than both Bundy and the Bossman, who are 6'4, He also looked about 1-2 inches shorter than Studd, I am not sure if footwear played any part for any of these wrestlers but from this we can colnclude that Hogan was a strong 6'6 in his prime even if he wasn't 6'7 as he claims.

Hulk Fan: You gotta be kidding. I can think of no reason in the world why Ben Davidson would ever wear lifts. I will sooner see the Pope as the guest artist on American Idol!

ANdre the giant was around 6'11 and hogan was 4-5 inches shorter making him at least 6'6. Another question I have is why do people constantly use the pic with Ben Davidson and Hulk Hogan and try to prove that hulk was under 6
'6. Ben davidson could have had insole lifts which could have made him appear significantly taller than hogan but in reality they could have been apart by only 1 inch.

Danimal: I've been gone for awhile, but the same arguments persist. It's as if all the evidence disappears every month (which, on a site like this, I guess happens that way). We reinvent the wheel about five to ten times every year with each celebrity!
How right you are. Rob should seriously consider archiving our contributions, rather than having it go away after 2-3 months. Then we have to deal with newbies who regurgiate the same stories. I know I and some others on here have contributed A LOT over the years and there is literally nothing to show of it. Why I keep coming back for more punishment is beyond me!!! haha..
Viper, I agree with you. I peg Hogan at precisely 6'3 1/4" today.

"Even if wade is a full inch taller than Hogan, Hogan is still a solid 6'4."
Wade was measured at 6-3 3/4. Hogan looks 6-3 or slightly under it there.

Gramps, what Vegas is doing is trying to "prove" that Hogan hasn't lost THAT much height since his peak. He wants Hogan to be as tall as possible today, so that he can say that Hogan never really lost that much height and that it was all in his footwear. People have motives on this site Gramps.

One video that will always favour a tall Hogan was the Andre one where he looked no more than 4 inches shorter than the 6"11-7"0 guy, putting him around 6"6-7.

Vegas: in the other photos from that event, Dwayne Wade is standing much further away from Hogan, and he is further in the background than Hogan, giving a distorted perspective.

No one with any sense is still calling him 6'5" to 6'6" today. We're trying to determine if he's even 6'4" (barefoot) now and if he was ever 6'6" (barefoot) in his prime.

JT: Yes, my debunking of the 6'5 to 6'6 claims only refers to today's Hulk. My personal opinion is that he was between 6'5 and 6'6 in his prime. I say this because pro wrestling posters from his first year or two in the "sport" listed him as 6'6. Knowing how those wrestling promoters liked to exaggerate, I see no way that they would promote Hulk as 6'6 if he was actually taller than 6'6. I'd say 6'5.5" in his bare feet back in the day would be very close to "reality."

Hogan must hate to get invited to these celebrity athlete photo ops. Here's a guy who was once listed at 6'9 having a 6'4 Guard look down at him.

Gramps, we're talking a peak height Hogan, not Hogan in 2007. He's had hip and knee replacement, plus back surgery, so most here believe he's lost some height (IMO around 1.5", others believe up to 3"). Dwayne Wade was measured at 6'3 3/4". If that pic involves a level ground plus comparable shoes for everyone, Hogan would be lucky to hit 6'1", which no one is buying. Either Wade is on higher ground (a step), he's on his toes, he's wearing shoes with huge heels, or he's closer to the camera than it appears.
Ozzie Smith (usually listed at 5'10") is to Hogan's left and is a bit closer to the camera. Hogan has him by around 5 inches, so Hogan again looks in the 6'3" to 6'4" range as of 2007.

Wow, that is a great picture and a great commentary from Gramps. I agree with the entire analisys, and the thing is Wade is only about 6'4.5 so 6'3.5 for Hogan is maybe generous. the only thing that would change things is if Wade had big boots on or something and I dought that. I think also that would say a 6'5.75 absolute max for a about 1980 Hogan, that would be letting him have 2.25-2.75 inch height loss Which is beyound reasonable for a guy by age 50.

OK boys, time to put those 6'5 and 6'6" claims to bed once and for all. Here's a recent Getty Images photo of the Hulkster next to the 6'0 Tom Glavine and the 6'4 to 6'5 Dwayne Wade. Doing a little interpolation, Hogan appears to be real close to 6'3.5". If Wade were standing "tall" (like Hogan), he'd be a good two inches taller. On the other hand, Hulk looks to have about 3.5" on Glavine. Hogan is certainly no shorter than 6'3 or taller than 6'4. Period.

Hulk Hogan was certainly over 6'5 in his prime. His claim of 6'7 is possible.

Guys like hogan and Andre, from the pre internet - bloggishere days would never had been able to get away with the height exagerations now. 6'5 305 hogan saying 6'8 340 and 6'11+ 450 Andre saying 7'5 520. About 1995 was the cut off when guys had to start getting real with heights and weights because in the information age your going to get outted to easily. Back in the 70' and early 80's I would watch the interviews with those guys and Mean Gene and say to myself wow, Gene's probably 6'1 or 6'2 and they dwarf him, they must be as big as they say. What could you do? you had nothing else to go by. That's why a guy Like Sid Eudy who came in to late and was a legit 6'7 and ended up going with that seemed to screw everything up.

From what I have heard Kane isn't actually taller than taker, rather he just had bigger boots so that he could look taller because he is supposed to be a monster in the wwe. UT being 6'9 is not out of the question.

There is NO WAY Taker was ever 6'9". If he was 6'9" and we know Kane is taller, so that would make Kane 6'10" and Big Show had 4" on Kane so that would make Big Show 7'2". That just isn't true. Get real people. UT was never taller than 6'6.5"-6'6.75" and Kane was no taller than 6'7.5"-6'8". Deal with it. And Ronster, many argue that Conan is even 6'4" and Hogan wasn't much taller if not the same height.
