I saw the show that he and davidson were in, Davidson was 2.5 inches taller than hulk, no less, not 4" and not 1". Which is probably a little more than the difference between two guys standing together with one in bare feet and the other in cowboy boots, which makes hogan at his zenith no more than 6'5 1/2 and probably more like 6'5 1/4 since davidson was about 15 years past his prime. As for weight, davidson played at 265-280 but he was much less than that in retirement. In the 1979 superstars, davidson was listed at 6'8 245.
so even if hogan was 50 pounds heavier, which is about what he looked, he was only about 300 even, give or take a few pounds. because davidson I don't think was anything over 260 MAX.

LV, how long are your arms? I must have the shortest arms for anybody my height. They only measure out to 28 inches.

Jordan is absolute max 6'5", yet can supposedly reach 2'5" above his head!!!
Yao Ming can't reach that high above his head in spite of being a foot taller, lol.

Like Viper i think maybe that Standing Reach of 8'10 is a bit much for jordan. Personally i think Jordan is approx 5.5" taller than me (6" max) yet his Standing Reach is a full 13" more than my 7'9!!!
LV you would struggle with a 7'8 Standing Reach if you can only reach 8'0 on your tip-toes.

Someone please explain why they would inflate wingspans? A 6'5" guy with long arms could easily have 8'10" Standing Reach. I'm 6'0" with short arms and can reach about 8'0" on my toes.

"I wonder if the basketball arm spans are inflated, too?"
Could be, but surely the wingspans are measured at the draft too, along with height? And unlike height, wingpsan is independent of shoes. Who knows, perhaps they do add an inch here or there to some of the wingspans. We can't verify this from photos though ;)

Yep, 82'' is Lennox's real reach. A quote there from Hasim Rahman (who's own reach is billed at 82''): ''"Lennox's reach is 82. Mine's 80. I don't believe I'm going to have a problem hitting him,"

There's a 6'4 3/4'' listing for Lennox. I was actually curious about his real reach and googling for that when I found that lol. Turns out his real reach is probably the 82'' listed there. Pro boxing is as bad as wrestling. Muhammad Ali's reach, for example, was billed at 80-82'' when it was actually measured at 78'' on a TV show back in the day...
No, I meant Viper lol.

Look Arjun, the truth is, I believe that Hogan is under 6'4" today. More specifically, I believe him to be comfortably between 6'3" and 6'3.5". With shoes, he is between 6'4" and 6'5", which would fit nicely in line with what he considers to be his current height.

Lennox used to be billed as 6'4 3/4'', Frank. Close enough, though lol. I don't know, I've followed boxing forever and just think he's more the 194cm/6'4 1/2'' than the full 6'5''. Vince Carter is leaning in with him and Carter got 195cm at the 2000 Olympics. I think Viper also said he's 6'5'' or that was his draft measurement. Anyway, to me Lennox is either 194 or 195cm. He has 195cm on his official MySpace.

Danimal, so now Hogan could be " almost 6'4.5" " today? If you believe everything he says, then why are we even debating his height or that of anyone else who has said "I'm x feet y inches"???? Remember, with this " almost 6'4.5" today" , you are strangling your own outrageous claims of 3-4 inches height loss for Hogan!

Hogan easily looks 285lb to me today. I watch HKB the whole time and his arms and legs are massive now. he looks much heavier today than say back in 1994.
As for Lennox Lewis, this guy has to be a legit 6'5. He was the same height as Vince Carter, 6'7 listed Michael Grant and 6'8 Vitali Klitschko among others. 99% of pro-boxing heights are fudged but Lewis is one guy who i am 100% sure is his listed height.

Hogan still says 6'4 today for the most part but is really 6'3. For his weight 270lbs today. Easily 290-300lbs back in the day.

Seriously, what man(particularly celebs) would intentionally round down their own height! Especially not Hogan. If anything, Hogan's quote from the top of the page, "I'm now ABOUT 6ft 4," would translate to him being shorter than 6ft 4 and therefore trying to squeeze in some extra height for his publicized statement. Of course the credibility of the quote at the top of this page is immediately voided out anyway with the absurd statement,"I used to be 6ft 7". Only in his dreams. :)

He never said he was 6'4". He said he's ABOUT 6'4", which could be almost 6'4.5", which he could have rounded up to 6'5".
As for his weight, he was over 310 pounds in his younger days: 1978-1986.
For those dismiss his 285 pound frame today, try standing next to a 6'3" + guy with an upper body like Hogan's and then call him a lightweight.

Hogan changes his mind as to what height he is/was. He has always had that lassaire faire attitude to the truth. Has he grown an inch since he said he was 6'4?:D He wasn't 2 inches over the Rock.

Straight from his mouth. If he were still trying to keep some myth alive, he'd have said 6'6" or 6'7", but he said "I'm 6'5" 285 lbs". I don't think he's a full 6'5" now, but maybe 6'4.5". He is always walking around barefoot or in flip-flops on that show, so he appears much shorter than he really is next to 5'11" Brooke since she's always in heels.

In the hasselhoff pictures, especially the top one, Hasselhoff does'nt look as big as he could look because he is about a half step further from the camera than hogan, you look smaller the further you get from the camera, this is a fact, unless you want to beleive those cameramen in the backgroud are like 4 ft tall 50 pound aliens.

Vegas, Hogan is standing in front of Wennington in that picture and that is why he appears so much taller.
And for the record, I noted that I knew Hogan is closer to the camera than HBJ, but would still be taller if he wasn't closer to the camera. That Davidson picture is only a bad photo, in your opinion, because it ruins your theories. Footwear (both are wearing cowboy boots) and posture (Davidson has a slightly bent knee, but is closer to the camera...Hogan is the furthest from the camera than everyone else) get real!

I think i'll stand up for Hogan, He takes a beating on this site, Hasselhoff is always at 6'4 and Hogans head is at the the same height as Hasselhoff. which puts him at the very 6'4 that he says he is now. And that is in 2006, with Hogan a shadow of his 1981 self, In 1981 with the hair and the youth and no surgeries yet he would be a solid 6'6, if not a fraction more, which again would be almost just what he says. As for weight, Hasselhoff is put together well, so at 6'4 he must be a little over 200, and he looks like a stick next to Hogan, who must be 280. With no lower body anymore. He could have very much been close to 315 when he was young.

I would love to see the footware in that picture with Hasselhoff. Hogan hardly ever wears the boots anymore, but for a big formal shin-dig wih the papperazi around, I'll bet he broke out the boots. On an episode hkb the family went on the Tyra Banks show and he put em on.

Vegas, I think Hogan probably lost 2 inches of height. Thats most likely though. 6'5 peak down to 6'3 today.

all i can say Danimal is watch wrestlemania 2. Hogan lost 1" max (i have always maintained that) of course you once claimed Hogan lost 4" Click Here 12/Jan/06 entry so its a bit pointless for me to argue with you on this matter.
All the video evidence, sid, piper, flair etc proves i am right.
1.How can Hogan look almost have the exact same height advantage over Ric flair in 1991 and 2003. if he lost 4" he should have been about the same height as flair or max 1" taller in 2003. You as well as I know those two videos basically leave your 4" height loss claims; if not dead, then on life-support.
2.how come hogan looks so tall next to 7ft wennington in 2002, well after his 4" height loss Danimal Click Here As i said before it that picture was taken in 1980 then ..........
of course ignore those questions as you always did with Ola too.

LV, there is another pic of Hogan on Hibilly's webiste, where Hilbilly is standing next to Hogan Hogan and Brutus Beefcake, taken in 1989 and Hogan is clearly taller than Hilbilly. This is before Hogan's height loss.

Joe, don't get frustrated with Vegas. It's not worth it. Vegas has ulterior motives. He wants you to believe that Hogan never lost any height. He wants you to believe that he was 6'4" and STILL is 6'4".

The pic of old HH and HBJ and the newer pic of Hogan and HBJ does make it look lie he has lost some height. The question is, how much?

Joe in that first photo Hogan and Hasselhoff are the exact same height. In the second photo hogan is bending his head slightly losing him 0.5".
LV; Hogan is much much closer to the camera in that old pic with HBJ. Make hogans head the same size in both photos and see how much bigger the older HBJs head is over the younger one
LV you have also estimated HBJ to have a 2-3" shorter forehead than Hogan, unbelievable!!
you or Danimal obviously haven't ever watched Wrestlemania 2 if both of you guys claim Hogan was taller than HBJ. For approx 2 minutes during that both go around working out on weights etc and guess who is taller despite standing behind hogan the whole time!!
you also use ben davidson as an example (a truly awful photo, posture and footwear wise), what about hogan been 4" shorter than 7'0 bill wennington less than 5 years ago so, LV explain that.

It's obvious that Hogan has lost at least 2" on height since he was younger. You can't go from looking 2" shorter than 6'8" Ben Davidson and then look the same height as 6'3 3/4" Dewayne Wade. Also, he was much taller than 6'3" Bundy and taller than HBJ years ago but in recent pictures is shorter.
FYI Vegas, the line pictures you drew below are WAY off. In the older picture you compare their eye line which is in HBJ's favor because Hogan has a bigger forehead and HBJ's hair makes him appear taller. In the newer picture, you compare their eyeline and with HBJ's head very tilted. If anything those pictures prove Hogan did shrink. Here is a better line drawing (Click Here). I realize Hogan is closer to the camera and the height difference is exaggerated but Hogan was significantly taller than and if HBJ was standing straight in the newer picture, Hogan would be shorter.

Vegas, what are you talking about? Hogan is obviously a little shorter than Hasselhoff. Not very much to be sure, but about a half inch at least, which fits for a 6'3 1/4 - 6'3 1/2 hogan. And that giving a 50 something hasselhoff his peak height of 6'4.

What a crock, the wrestlers back in those days were so small that the 6'5 300 hogan could pass for any size. He was wrestling guys who were 6' nothin and 220 with beer guts.

I think a peak hogan size of about 6'5 1/2 and 305 would make the most sense because then it would put him at least close to size that he and some others say that he was, and yet small enough to where old age, baldness and some serious surgeries could justify a MAX height loss of about 2" today, 6'3 1/2. Alot of NBA players who were 6'7 in their prime have had serious knee and back surgeries and their not walking around at 6'3 when still in their 40's. (Hogan has been at this supposed lesser height for some time)

Hey Halb. I agree that as time went on with more large wrestlers showing up, it did make Hogan look not as big when he used to be among the biggest in the 80's and people would start asking questions more as to what Hogan's height actually was. It's crazy how tall they billed Hogan at. Who knows why? Maybe in the old days they figured that since the audience was more kids, they may have thought that kids will believe anything. The viewers have more knowledge nowadays than in the 80's and before.

Hogan is like Stallone we may never know his peak/current height...Hogan can still look decently tall, although alil shorter then david hasselhoff and dwayne wade. Hogan does look gigantic next to greg in their pic..even if Greg was only 5'10 Hogan does tower over him, the question now becomes how much height did hogan lose, I do think we all can agree though he was at least 6'5

I am old enough remember Hulk Hogan's first bout in the late 1970s. When he started, "The Hulkster" was billed as a villain and referred to as nearly a seven footer. This was also repeated in the Rocky movie.

Hiya Chief. I don't know the reason for the increase, when I started watching I didn't know Hogan had been billed at 6'8.
I would make a guess tho that they downgraded him when bigger men like Taker and Sid came in. That's justa guess tho.

Hey fellas, it does NOT matter what Hogan was billed at because it has very little to do with Hogan's(or should I say Terry Bollea)actual height. His billed heights cannot be justified by statements regarding his supposed "in ring height with boots and possibly lifts" or any bullcrap like that. This is wrestling entertainment with kayfabe being the only constant thing in the business. They lie their ass off. I think I vaguely remember a pathetic attempt to boost Hogan's popularity during Hulkamania's decline by Mooney saying that Hogan was 6'9" but it's been so long I would have to check on that. Furthermore, I remember 6'8" as being his usual billed height in the WWF from late 1983 to 1993(his glory years), although 6'7" may have been used occasionally in WWF prior to WM3.Anyway, the only height that matters is a person's legitimate BAREFOOT height and that's what people want to know even when they hear the supposed heights of any celebrity or anybody. For example, I'm sure nobody is going to take Gene Simmon's platform boot towering height as being legit. lol

Alex, when I started watching WWF in 89/90, they said he was 6'9 on the shows Challange and Superstars, especuially before WM6. Mooney used to say he was. I think JT here said they bumped him an inch (like they did for Andre at WM3) for the film No Holds Barred. Haven't seen that film for long time but I might watch it to see.
Danimal, it's not a 'FACT' because you say it is Danimal. In the WWF programs I got he said he was 6'7. This was well before WCW. I remmeber he was billed at 6'7, whether you like it or not or whether anyone else remembers, it doesn't matter. Coming from someone who whinges on the Andre page that they will never post again, and then immediately and blatantly ignores their own stance.

LV, it's also very clear that Hogan's hips have been replaced. I saw an episode of H.K.B. where he was going for dancing lessons with his wife and where he said that his butt is gone after the operation. His entire hips were replaced, leaving him not only with a shorter and smaller lower body (not including his knees), but also a shorter upper torso (neck fusion and spinal surgeries on his back) AND he is 53 years old!

Hogan was billed at 6'8" from 1983 (his return to the WWF) until the day he left. He was only billed at 6'7" when he began wrestling for WCW in 1994. Halb, we've been over this.
Hogan has both claimed his legite height was once 6'7" and he has also claimed 6'6". Other wrestlers and experts in the bus. have claimed Hogan was AROUND 6'5" at his peak.

the thing with Hogan is why would anyone want to admit they lost 2-3 inches of height if it didnt happen, unless its the truth or they want people to believe oh back in my heyday I was really tall, i just dont get it
Mike; many relatively young (in their late 40s/early 50s) wrestlers claim to have lost height. It probably had to do with the fact that in the 1990s wrestling companies started employing much taller guys with legit sporting backgrounds whose height was already known, and the older wrestlers just didn't match up. Thats just one reason, there are lots more though i suspect. as for hogan, be careful reading into what this guy says; on saturday he claimed nancy benoit was a satanist!!

Andre looks no more than 5 inches taller than Hogan in that pic, even with Andre having the footwear advantage. And Danimal, Andre surely lost "at least 1" " between 1987 and 1990, based on your reply to Jason????? What you are doing is taking a picture of Andre late in his career, where he appears a certain height, boosting that height a little (as you have done so subtly on other occasions, Hogan being "at least half a foot" taller than Flair to name just one), and then saying that he had to have shrunk "at least x number of inches" , and adding those inches onto the height he appears in that pic, to get his peak height. The wagon does'nt pull the horse Danimal. You have to compare pictures of the young Andre and the Andre from the late 80's - early 90's, and take the difference between them as the amount of height loss Andre experienced. What you (and the other 7'0" Andre campers) are doing is exactly the opposite.

Also 6'7 was the height he billed himself as so Vegas , Danimal are using his inflated billed height. As Hogan's character got bigger so did his billed height.

If Hogan was 6'7'' in the ring then Andre the Giant was at least 6'11'' in 1987, which he wasn't anywhere even near by then.
REALLY JASON? Is that a fact?? Then how do you explain Andre having close to 2" on a legite 6'8" Mane in 1990 (3 years later)??
For the love of God JT, enough with your comparisons. No one cares about them anymore. They've been biased for so long and you bend them all to cater to your already pre-conceived estimation and NOT the other way around.
Nova, Vegas is right. Hogan was billed at 6'8" and NOT 6'7" in the 80's. Kind of shoots your credibility in the foot. Also, if you care to know, there is a 2nd pic of Hogan and Hilbilly from his site, taken in 1989, where Hogan STILL has height over Hilbilly.

Nova, Vegas is right. Hogan was billed at 6'8" and NOT 6'7" in the 80's. Kind of shoots your credibility in the foot. Also, if you care to know, there is a 2nd pic of Hogan and Hilbilly from his site, taken in 1989, where Hogan STILL has height over Hilbilly.

making himself always look the billed 6'7 back in the 80's
Hogan was always billed at 6'8 in the 1980s as far as I remember at least from his first title win in 1984 through to his first clean pinfall loss against ultimate warrior in 1990.
Arjun the name of the dude who claimed to work for the WWE was JimmyV.

Even if Hogan's barefoot height was only 6'5. He wore huge soles on his boots and also most likely had a boost from inside his boot making his in ring height at least 6'7 and wore cowboy boots ouside of the ring making himself always look the billed 6'7 back in the 80's.

Hogan is clearly taller than HillyBilly Jim here. Hogan is slouching forward and is bald as HillBilly Jim is standing straight and has puffy hair. Even if Hogan is slightly closer to the camera is is clearly taller than HillBilly Jim back then.

a fair estimate of hogans height 6'5" max, today 6'3.5",an inch in a half total loss,but i,m thnking from multiple surgeries the man could,ve lost as many as 2 inches altogether making him 6'3" even.

no Arjun it wasn't Frank. The dude posted four or five times on undertakers page only about a year ago. He said he was 6'4.5 himself and Hogan in 1988 was the exact same height or at most a hair taller. I can't remember his name though. He also said glen jacobs wore major lifts and outside of the ring undertaker was taller

I think that hogan was at the very most about 6'5 3/4 peak barefoot, Rocky 3 time. That's very tall, people that tall stand out and tower over others, and throw in some cowboy boots and your a 6'7 3/4 giant. that's where hogan was, if he had played college football and went pro he would have been in the 1975 draft, that's the old day's, anybody 6'5 1/2-3/4 300 lbs would have been one of the biggest guy's in the league, maybe not the tallest, but one of the biggest. In 2007 the <6'4 270 that he is now just seems smallish.

Hogan and the rock were the exact same height. If you look at the pictures of the stairdowns it's uncanny, one second Hogan looks 1/4 inch taller, the next second the rock looks a 1/4 inch taller, then they look the same, which means they were the same height, it just depends on who has their jaw set the firmest at the moment. The rock had a peak height listing of 6'5 but mostly 6'4. And many say that he is a bit under 6'4 today. This would speak to a rather modest max peak for hogan at 6'5, and more likely about 6'4 1/4. And about 6'3 3/4 today.

I agree with you Jason, I can see a 3 inch loss when someone is 90 yrs old and convelesing in the old folks home. but hogan stated his loss in 2005 when only 50. and he's still wrestling!!!. He just signed a deal in which he will continue wrestling for years to come. I guess the seriousness of those surgeries comes and goes. I will give him a little more than you though, 6'4 3/4 peak, 6'3 1/2 now.

Also in that Hogan and Sid pic, Hogan is standing closer to the camera which is even more evident in the video clip of that posted a while back, and Sid, even with the background disadvantage, still clearly has surplus height over the Hulk.

''Hogan is barely, barely an inch taller than the AT MOST(check the page on this site if you want), 6'2 Brock Lesnar, putting Hogan at most 6'3 flat, there in 2002. How in the world could it be reasonable to say that Hogan ever stood at 6'6! It simply is impossible. 6'5 is not true either. Maybe if he was crippled, then an approximate 3 inch height loss would be believable, but he is nothing of the sort, has well enough mobility for a man in his fifties, and is healthy enough to be in a recent match with Big Show Paul Wight. I think the old clip with a younger Hogan and Ric Flair being interviewed by Paul Bearer shows good evidence that Hogan was well under 6'5 at his peak. For peak, I say 6'4, but no more. With his current height, it's getting more difficult to even say that full amount. The wrestling world is not a magical world where giants roam.''

You're right Vegas about my picture, but I wouldn't say Zeus is wearing "ordinary" boots in Survivor Series picture either. You have to realize Hogan's boots and Zeus' boots both have thick soles, but Zeus' boots also have a distinct heel while Hogan's are completely flat. The only difference in their height can be attributed to that heel and the fact that Zeus is slightly on his tiptoes and Hogan has one leg slightly bent.

Vegas , Lister's boots were massive at least 2+ inches he walked around like Frankenstein in them and Lister was at very minimal 6'5 barefoot if not a little more in his prime. So Lister was at very minimal 6'7+ in those boots and him and Hogan were still the same height. Here Hogan isn't standing fully straight and Zeus is fully straight with one foot on his tip toes and if Hogan straightened up they would be exactly the same height. This would put Hogan's in ring height to 6'7+. Click Here

Not only was Hogan never 6'7 or 6'8, he was never 6'6. The picture with Davidson proves it. He's standing up as straight as he can just to get about 2 inces shorter, that might get him to 6'6 if you left out the fact Davidson would conservativly give himself a half inch if he stood up as straight as he could, that drops hogan to 6'5 1/2 right off the bat. and when you start to factor in that Davidson always jockied back and forth between 6'7 and 6'8 in his prime and now was 45 yrs old, common sense says that even if he was a true 6'8 in his prime(which I think he was)he would be at least a hair under 6'8 by then, that starts to move hogan down to 6'5 1/4 to 6'5 even range. And all of this done with giving hogan the benefit of the doubt by a 1/4 here and there,I really think that davidson would be a full inch taller if he stood at attention like hogan, which slides hogan down under 6'5.

I'll say this again because it's been lost, but I believe it was Big Jim who sometimes posts on here who went to Honky Tonk man's now defunct site and asked him who exaggerates wrestler's heights. He gave his photo with him and HBK as proof that wrestler's heights are indeed exaggerated and Honky replied honestly and said usually it was management but some wrestlers did too.
I also think it was Jim on the same board who asked him how tall Hulk Hogan was. Honky fought Hogan many times and said they often went drinking together. Honky said Hogan stood 6'5" tall in his prime, that's good enough for me.

Crissy, don't forget bad knees and entire hip replacement. They can shrink you do to fusion or removal of vertebrae and discs, resulting in a more compressed height.

You gotta be kidding me right Vegas? We can debate who wore bigger shoes???? Have you even SEEN Zeus's MASSIVE boots he could barely stand straight in?? They were as high is not higher than Kane's from a decade later.

I was watching a match between Lesnar and Hogan on DVD from 2002 and Hogan looked barely if any taller than Lesnar who most agree on is a legit 6'2. May have been Hogan's posture too.

there is the staredown kingNick Click Here hogan is approx 0.5" shorter.
we can debate all day who wore the bigger shoes; loads of people i know reckon hogan wore lifts in the ring during the 1980s (and there are a few people on this website who claim that too).
Lets say hogans boots had the standard 1.25" heel Click Here now for hogan to be as tall as Lister then lister must have been wearing a 1.75" heel (roughly the same as a standard cowboy boot which is 1.8"). For Hogan to be taller than Lister then Listers heels would have to be approaching the 2"+ mark.
Personally i can see Hogan as tall as 6'5 but certainly not over that point.

Vegas, I think Hogan and Lister were the same height but Lister had a higher eye level. There's a pic in Hogan's auto-biography of them in a staredown that's where Im getting that from. I'll try and see if I can find a pic online.

Hogan's neck is fused, he has false knees, new hips and a shortened spine. It's no wonder he's 3-4" shorter. I'm still amazed he's walking today.

If that guy really is 6'0.5 then Hogan was def a solid 6'6 guy at his peak. For a while I thought he was 6'6 at his peak or a little under at 6'5.5 at the least but this picture shows that he was def 6'6. He's lost a good 3 inches today as he looks only 6'3 now.

I believe in Honky. 6'5 seems about right for Hogan, I think. Besides... how do we know that this guy is 6ft0.5 he could be less..he looks 5'10 to me.

If Tenta was only 6'4", he must have worn 2-3 inch lifts in the ring, not counting the soles on his boots. He looked slightly taller than Hogan.

Yeah but Tenta was a big Kayfabe guy, he also said he was 6'7 if I recall rightly despite being obviously 6'4, the WWE even listed him as that towards the end of his career there. Where as Honky acknowledged that wrestling feds fudged heights and he also had more runs with Hogan I think. Tenta only ever had one run with the orange goblin where as Honky talked about how he liked to wrestle Hogan alot as his matches were the biggest pay off.
I do think 6'5 is right for him in his prime, he was a few inches shorter then taker in his prime

Nah I disagree Louie, Honky is a pretty stable guy, he is is known for being a guy that mostly just sees wrestling as a job.
If you read his answer boards he is quite capable of pointing out peoples upside even though he may not like them. For example he thinks Hitman is ok but is a bit full of himself and thinks it is sad that at nearly 50 he is married to a 19 year old girl now. On the flipside he admits there are worse guys then Bret and he was one of the best guys to work with in the ring.
Louie you have to stop thinking of these guys as the characters they play, they are just men with all the flaws - and frankly considerably more in a lot of cases- that well have.
In another post, Big jim from these boards asks him who exaggerates the wrestler's heights and Honky says the management does it.

It's obvious WHERE Hogan has lost his height. Look at the Cena pic. Hogan's lower body (his legs and hips are those of a little boys). He had an entire hip replacement, leaving him with a very short and small (thin) lower body, as opposed to the long and muscular legs he used to have. NEXT, we know he's had numerous back surgeries, scraping more height off of him and finally, notice how much LONGER his neck used to be before it was fused. All of that account for 3.5-4" of height loss and it's OBVIOUS! SCARY!!

Aye Louie is quite scarey but not because he thinks Hogan is 6'7, more the stuff about Hogan being immortal as opposed to a large orange man who pretends to beat people up for a living.
I have to admit I do think that he is atleast 6'5 in his prime now, it just bugs me that he was billed as 6'6. I mean he is the biggest wrestling name of all time. They exaggerated everybody else why would they not him?

Hulk Hogan was really 6'7 back then. Hulk Hogan had admitted that he is 6'7 in th past and he definitely will not deceive his Hulkamania fans who had supported him all these years. To keep downgrading Hogan's height is to do an injustice to him and all the Hulkamania fans.

To think that he would have towered over guys like HHH, The Rock, Brock Lesnar, Vince and even his own daughter today, just baffles the mind and he's ONLY 53 years old. I wonder if he would have ever entered into wrestling if he knew that his body would never be the same after that?

i think some people like to claim that wrestlers are alot shorter than their billed heights. Well some are, but most are within 2 inches, or no more than 2 inches less than their billed heights. Other wise the general viewing public would notice, you cant exaggerate someones height by 4 + inches without anyone noticing.

Your can clearly see that hogan was at least 6'6 in his prime. There are still people who think that he was 6'3 in his prime, which is crazy. Hogan was a big guy, my friend met him back in 1986, and my friend was 6'1 back then without shoes, and he says that hogan was a good 5 - 6 inches taller than him.
Even if greg is 6'0 or 182cm exactly, it would still make hogan 6'6 at minimum. These days he is probably 6'3 - 6'4.

Hi, Warlord. Great postings.
We were on equal footing in the lobby of the Turfway Hilton in Erlanger, (by God!) KY. That wasn't a hat. It was a Harley bandana. You can see the tire and spokes of the Harley above his eyes. My opinion is the bandana wouldn't give him any extra height since it basically "molded" to his head. I also remember thinking at the time that he didn't have the best posture, almost to the extent he seemed to lean forward. I wish I would have said, "How 'bout we get a Polaroid together, okay?"!!!

Louie, Im not saying he is wearing Lifts in that picture but its possible
Elevator shoes makes dress shoes, casual shoes and sneakers that can make you 2 to 3 inches taller and these kind of companys have been around along time....And that was the appeal of Hogan being 6ft 8 and 300lbs of muscle..
So if he was really 6ft 4 i would bet money MCMAHON WOULD MAKE HIM WEAR LIFTS!!
I think today he dont care anymore so he dont wear lifts aymore

Danimal,
I think Hogan certainly looks 6 foot 6 and change and possibly 6 foot 7 in that pic. At first glance it appears he is maybe 6 foot 8, but that's because he's wearing a hat and it gives an even taller impression. But, no way he's less than 6 foot 6-1/2 in that pic if Greg is 6 foot 0-1/2 and on nearly equal footing. Of course Jason or Chad or Cycklofool would round my number down to 6 foot 6, but I clearly say closer to 6 foot 7. Danimal, he never weighed 330 lbs or even 320 lbs, though. He definitely weighed 300 and change though (meaning less than 310lbs). If you listen to Hogan's DVD (Hulk Still Rules) he even says they billed him as much as 320 to 330 lbs and states that he was never that heavy. I also think he's 6 foot 4 today, it's just that he never stands straight and doesn't wear thick soled shoes either. Hey, I liked that arm measurement video though, that was great!

The problem with the idea of Hogan being 6'7 is that the WWE often listed him at 6'6 so there's no way he would be taller then his billed height. I agree it is a controversial pic though, I mean we certainly don't know how tall Greg is but even if he were say 5'10 it would still make Hogan 6'5ish.

I remember precisely what shoes we were wearing. I recall thinking, at the time, that Hulk's Reebok 3/4 high tops were pretty cool looking. My Nikes were low cut, but similar in sole thickness. I was 25 years old then and positive I would be at the 6'3/4" - 6'1" mark in those Nikes. To be honest, I've "compressed" since that time as well!

JT, that pic with Mr. T and Hogan from around 1985-1986, Hogan has about 7" on him and if Mr. T was 5'11", Hogan was 6'6". Now, with Greg and Hogan, Hogan is looking the 6'7" he once claimed he was. If he was 6'7", or marginally under that, he's shrunk TREMENDOUSLY over the years!

Greg, I don't doubt your height, but this is probably the only picture I've ever seen of Hogan looking a full 6'7". He actually looks closer to 6'8" next to you. Are you positive he didn't have cowboy boots on or was standing on his toes? Here, 5'11" or so Mr. T appears closer in height to Hogan than you do in your photo (Click Here)
As a follow-up to the pic that Editor Rob posted of Hogan with the four guys, here's the 6'4" sportscaster next to a young 6'5"+ Michael Jordan (Click Here). The angle's not great but this guy could be closer to 6'5". It would be interesting to see Hogan next to him now.

Hi, Danimal.
First let me say I've gotten a kick out of your postings for a while now. That's me in the photo above. I did some calculating after this photo was taken. From the bottom of my nose to the top of my head is 6.5 inches. It's plain to see that Hulk's head is larger than mine, so from the bottom of his nose to the top of his head is AT LEAST 6.5 inches. We both had similar shoes on, so that's a wash. I truly believe Hulk was 6'7" at this time (November 1988). Plus he was HUGE! Look at his hand over mine. I felt like a little kid next to him. I was around 193 lbs. at the time and had a 45" expanded chest measurement. I was wearing a t-shirt, a thermal long-john shirt, a collared dress shirt, a sweater, and that puffy green nylon jacket (it was cold!) and he still dwarfed me in his tank top and windbreaker!!!

Venus, provide pics to back up that Claim and Snoop Dog can also be 6'3".
Why is NOBODY commenting on this pic with a Hogan in his prime (before height loss) and the 6'0.5"-6'1" guy who he appears to have at least 7" on? They are both wearing sneakers!!!!!!!

Hulk Hogan is actually shorter than rapper Snoop Dogg, who stands 6'3.5, those operations cut him down in size.

OMG, Hulk Hogan really was tall back then. He's making a 6'0" + look short and his daughter who is shorter than this Greg guy, is almost the same height as Hogan today. Sad.
I give him 6'6" (peak height)

I think Hogan is just 6'3 flat today. The 6'6 for his peak I think is still pretty possible as some don't agree on. I know the man was at least 6'5 back then so he lost at least 2 inches.

in that pic with bill wennington the 7 foot nba player, hogan does look a legit 6'5, that was late 1990's im guessing the pic was taken, but currently idk bout hogan, the question is how many inches has he lost in height, he doesnt look short on his tv show, but he DEF doesnt look like a towering 6'5 person by no means what so ever

Hogan was also billed as 6 ft 9 in, as late as WMVI. I clearly remember Sean Mooney descibing him as such before the supercard. I remember thinking if Hogan is 6 ft 9, then Warrior must be 6 ft 7...how off I was!!:oD

It was Vince Sr. that billed him at 6'8" and 330 pounds with 27" biceps in 1979. He lost weight for Rocky III (down to 310) and the Vince Jr. kept him at that height until Hogan left the WWF in 1993. When he entered the WCW, he was 270 pounds and 6'7". I have many articles of him appearing in various movies starting with No Hold Barred and he was always listed at 6'6" which I believe was his legitimate height before the 3" loss.

Danimal, nice video. I remember some were saying his arms were really 22. Shows proof there they were 24. Also at a point I was thinking 24 inches unflexed. That would be even more amazing then. Another question, a few years ago in early 2003 they had this Big Show poster with his measurements and it had 22 inch biceps. Would you say thats flexed of unflexed? To me it would be unflexed and looks it.

Dave wrestling wasn't fairly small in the mid 80's that was when it was at its peak of popularity in america, with mainstream cross overs on MTV etc. As for Hogans height being 6'2" or below thats a total joke that would make Undertaker 6'4" Big Show 6'7" and so on.
Hogan peak height (1986) 6'6"- 6'7"
Hogan current height 6'4"

No Mr. E. Vince originally billed Hogan as 6'8", not 6'7". It's Hogan that claims he was 6'7", as well as 6'6" at times. 6'5" is what Ed Leslie claims Hogan was in High School.

according to a few so called wrestling journalists, Hulk was 6'5" to begin with, but Vince wanted lifts on him to put him to 6'7". you've got to wonder about stability in the ring with lifts (ankles, knees, achilles) The last time we saw Hulk, he didn't even have that much on Brooke with her heels.

Here's a story for you ... Back in the mid 80's (when pro wrestling was still fairly small) I was picking-up my mother from the airport when all the WWF wrestlers started coming off her plane. Watched lots of them come off at arms distance and was surpirsed at how small Hogan was. I'd give him a 6' maybe 6'2". Don Muraco was huge (how many remember him).

In the Snoopdog picture Hogan had his head tilted but they are probably the same height and the 2 pictures with Lennox Lewis...Lewis looks 2 inches taller in one picture and an inch in another ....I remember about 13 years ago i spoke to a security guard who works at Madison Square Garden abd he told me Hogan was not that tall and this guy was about 5ft11 to 6ft so i believe Hogan wore lifts to appear 6ft 5 to 6ft 6

Wow. Hogan only looks maybe a hair above the 6'2 1/2'' mark next to Lennox Lewis on wireimage.com (search ''hulk hogan'' then page 3 of the results). I'm a boxing fan, too, and would peg Lennox at 6'4 1/2'' in bare feet.

I checked out gettyimages and there's a picture of Hogan and Snoop Dogg, they look the same height. Also, on gettyimages the pictures can be enlarged but on wireimage.com however they are too small to judge from accurately. They can't be enlarged, unless you pay, of course.

I am 6'3" and I encountered Hulk Hogan while walking into Islands of Adventure, a theme park in Orlando, he is considerably shorter than me... I would give him maybe 6' (being generous). Also, my fiancee nearly hit him as he was getting out of his truck, she stated that he didn't seem that tall either. I wouldn't trust the measurements given of professional wrestlers, who are supposed to be "larger than life" to be accurate. If he does appear taller than that, I am guessing he wears elevator shoes religiously...

I think he still looks about 6'4 today, after all he was an inch and a half taller than Ferrigno. Bad posture might account for the rest. As for his prime height, 6'5 or 6'5.5 is my best "guesstimation". I don't think he was a full 6'6. Even the Hogan cardboard standup they are selling at wwe.com is 6'5" tall. Now if he was 6'5 in his prime and now stands slightly below 6'4 I would have to say that's normal shrinkage for a man his age and of his size. Say he lost 1.5 inches, that's believable.

The incredible shrinking man? He was huge! Is this the biggest case of lost inches on this site of what? Obviously we can't make a case for 6'7" in his prime....I'm willing to go 6'6" judging by the Hillbilly Jim photo and Andre pic. But now? I'm having a hard time saying 6'4", maybe even 6'3"...did Hogan wear lifts? Can we chalk up 3' to surgery?
