Frank,
I agree with you on Taker. Reread my past comments. My brothers friend also said he looked 6 foot 9 and definitely was over 6 foot 8.

Jordan- they did a job of cleaning up Port Richmond. It used to be a troubled school but they got a new principal a few years ago and it's a nice school. They don't tolerate any ****. Tottenville on the other hand is becoming worse and worse each year. There was a gang fight 4 years ago where the principal got decked and a dean was injured.

Don't worry about it Jordan. A little word of advice if I may, get back into it slowly. Don't make the same mistake I did recently and try to go to heavy too fast, because you'll injure something. Muscle has memory and will get back up to your personal best in no time at all. Just be patient and don't get frustrated with yourself because you ain't as strong as you once were!

Ola, I've been on this site for 2 years. Keep your mouth shut. I've provided SO much to this site in terms of proof WELL before your time. I NEVER came on here like you and shot my mouth without backing it up with MANY pictures. Don't talk unless spoken to from now on. Rob, don't delete this one. I think it's important that the newbies respect the veteran's on the site (such as myself) who have contributed a lot in the past.

My Max bench is 250 when I was 6-1 180 pounds. I consider that to be pretty good. I always thought I could do more If I didnt have such long arms.

Ola, I'm just ignoring you from how on. Your foolish and a waste of my time.
Jordan, if you were able to put up 3 plates on the bench for a max rep, only a year ago, I say your a MONSTER. Dude, at 17 I couldn't bench more than 185 for a MAX rep. Between 19-21 I was up to 3 plates for reps. Your still young man. s***, I wish I was 17 again. I'm 28 (29 next month). You're not even in your prime yet in terms of your strength and muscular development potential. Keep at it paisan!!!

I see Danimal. thats still in great shape. I mean i'm 5'10 1/2 240 but never got any measurments taken. I do know that at 16 I MAX becnhed 315. I dont know what I can do now at 17 but I think I might have gotten weaker since I was 253 when I was 16 and now i'm 238-240. I might have lost strength.
Ola-you said you were 280 right. Did you use your size for football or any sports??. In other word are you 280 and atlethic.

320-330? HAHAHAHAHA! (is it april 1th today?) that was a well known lie in a desperate attempt from wwf to trying to make him bigger than "incredible hulk" (lou ferrigno). Hogan has never been heavier than 300 pounds. not even close dude! imo, he was never even over 280. since all weight of the big guys is up- billed with 10-20% or more. (vader is a good example; 350 lbs upbilled to 450)And ofcourse Hogan looked almost as tall as 6'7 john studd, becouse of his 2 inch lifts.

Between the age of 19-23 I was at my absolute peak, both in sheer size and strength and pain NEVER stopped me. I'll be 29 next month. I'm still in good shape and getting back up there. I only weigh about 176-178 today and my chest is MAX 44", legs 24.5", neck is just over 17". Arms are still about 17" pumped. If I devoted myself to weights like I used to, I would get back up there, but it's harder to achieve that same level the older I get. My body isn't as resiliant as it used to be!!! Think about this, Arnold hit his peak in his late 20's. Dorian hit his in his early to mid 30's, then again, they were far from natural.
Viper, Hogan was a MASSIVE man and I believe the 6'6" measurement for him and in 1979 he was between 320-330 pounds. He lost weight for Rocky III. At times in 1984-1985 he looked as tall as 6'7" Big John Studd. Like Andre, he's a shadow of his former self.

You know, after watching that old 1979 match of Dibiase and Hogan I think Hogan might have been 6-6 in his prime. He did look huge. Id say maybe taller than anytime I saw him as a little kid in the 80s.

Tiny was listed at 6'7" as well. Thing is Tiny wore crazy boots, much like Kane wore and Hogan wore normal looking boots when they had face offs in 1989. I say that they were probably the same height then or Hogan may have even been taller. It's hard to tell because of the footwear Tiny had on.

I'd say lister is a full inch taller, if you look at their shoulders you can see he is looking down slightly. The weird thing is when he first hit the acting scene he was billed as 6'5. He was also barely taller then that Tony Todd in the film "Butter," Todd really looks his billed 6'5 though.
I really do think that Hogan was 6'5 at the most, they were worse for exaggerating height back in the day and they sometimes billed him as 6'6 so I do he was ever actually that height. Wow I'm starting to become the sites Jason! du duh duh!!!

Thats absolutely right Kiat! there was only 2 1/2 - 3 inches between them. let me explain this out... like i have said before, lets say hogan was 6'5 (6'7 with all his lifts) and UT 6'8 1/2. (close to 6'10 in shoes). That will be nearly 3 inch of diffentent between them. and there was around 2 1/2 inch between Hogan and justice. from that time, I put sid at 6'8 top. and taker at 6'8 1/2 atleast. If you watched hogan vs taker at backlash 2002, there was nearly 5 inch between them

Ola, if the Undertaker is really 6'8 and a half or 6'9 (billed as 6'10 and a half by the WWF) in his prime in Survivor Series 1991, then Hulk Hogan should be at least 6'6 (billed as 6'8) in 1991 since there are only 2.5 to 3 inches between them. Moreover, if Sid Justice is really 6'8 (billed as 6'9 by WWF)and he is just a little shorter than the Undertaker (maybe half an inch), then Hulk hogan should be 6'6 since there are no more than 2 inches between Hulk Hogan and Sid Justice. I don't know why you keep downgrading Hogan's height.

Glenn, Monsoon was I believe a legit 6'6" man in his younger days. Maybe 6'5" and change at the very least. He was only slightly shorter than Pyscho Sid at the '97 Slammy Awards and he was already over 60 years old at that point. JYD was 6'2"-6'3" and weighed between 260 and 305 pounds.

It must be noticable he has shrunk. Because you notice that when Randy Orton was mocking him, he brought someone to the ring that was about 3 or 4 inches shorter than him and said it was hogan.

I would have to agree with what Rob has him at. His Peak height 6'6( 6'5 1/2 at the lowest) and 6'3.5 nowadays. This seems the most accurate since I think 90% of us belive that Hogan has def. lost height over the years.

Hulk Hogan has really shrunk a lot since his WWF days. As we can see, in the 80s, Hulk Hogan looked really tall and with boots, he could really be 6'8 tall. His height was listed as 6'8 in most of the WWF magazines back then and by commentators and the media. Maybe he is really close to 6'7 (Let's say 199 -200 cm). I believe Hulk Hogan when he said that he used to be around 6 ft 7. As there are so many Hulkamania fans (millions of them) who idolized Hulk Hogan (including me), definitely he will not deceive his fans who have supported him all these years. Now he is really only about 6ft 4. Maybe with 3 inch lifts, he could still pass off as 6'7 which is now what WWE has listed. I still feel sad that Hulk Hogan has shrunk so much as he used to be so big and strong then and he was also a hero to all. He could size up to even the largest guys.

Yeah Glenn, it wasn't bs. Hogan was HUGE in the 80's. Well over 300 pounds and at least 6'6". He made Donald Trump, Jesse Ventura, Muhammed Ali and even Goerge Foreman look short pre-1990.

It is quite difficult to estimate the wrestlers' heights. As you can see, when Hulk Hogan and the Rock were standing face to face, they were almost the same height. Then when the Rock and Randy Orton were standing face to face, Randy sememed to have an inch over the Rock. However when Hulk Hogan stood next to Randy Orton, Hogan seemed to be taller by half an inch to an inch. This is very strange.

Glenn, Hogan used to claim he was 6'6" in interviews (probably post 1990). In 2004-2005 he claimed that he has officially lost 3" in height, going from 6'7" to around 6'4", due to all of his surgeries over the years. Thing is, he was probably only about 6'6" in his prime and under 6'4" today.
Warlord, don't encourage Ola. PLEASE don't encourage him!!! ;)...lol. No way is Taker 6'8.5" today. Kane isn't even that tall and Kane is taller than Taker. Taker is at most 6'7.5"-6'7.75" and that's being very generous.

Danimal,
I think Ola is correct on the Taker (wrong on Hogan though). My first hand account I posted from a friend (scroll down) says he's definitely not shorter than 6 foot 8 and that was only about 2 months ago. How can you say not even close to 6 foot 8? Remember, this friend is 6 foot 3 and also has met my brother's other friend who is 6 foot 10. He knows the difference between over 6 foot 8 and barely 6 foot 7. I say Taker was at least 6 foot8-1/2 and possibly 6 foot 9 in his prime and is still at least 6 foot 8 today. I also think Hogan is about 6 foot 4-1/2 today (I say 6 foot 5-1/2 or 6 foot 6 prime). For one thing, his boots appear to have thin soles. Probably because he can't move around much. Also, they pump up McMahon's height on occassion. He looks taller compared to other wrestlers too, not just Hogan. I'd say the difference bewteen Taker and Hogan today is 3.5 to 4 inches.

If Glenn said 6'4 for Hulk, I think it's time to up the Hulkster half an inch again. Frankly Hogan looks 6'4 even today, when he stands straight that is. He has very bad posture sometimes.
During the match with Orton Hogan looked shorter until he stood erect , then he was taller.

Louie, how can you say that Hogan is 6'4" and Taker can be 6'9". Did you see 5" difference between Hogan and Taker when they fought in 2002? I think not. Taker has never even reached 6'8" on his best day (in his prime). I wouldn't be surprised if he was under 6'7" today.

Well...Danimal, Hogan has never been over 6'5 that for sure. Undertaker had him by atleast 3 inches back in 1991. (5 today...)
Frank, Hall could also has been taller back then. The guy is not so young anymore he is going to turn 48 later this year and could have shrunk 1/2 inch the past 10-15 years.
Like i said... Hogan is probarly 6'3 1/2 today. i dont know how tall he was in nitro back in 96-99. But Hall had a 1/2 inch to Hogan there.
And... I still believe the rock being 6'4 ;)

Danimal,
I agree with you on DiBiase. He's definitely a good 6 foot 3. However, I have some info for you on the Undertaker that I think you will be interested in. I actually tried to post this last weekd on the Taker's page, but it didn't post. I was at my brother's house 2 weekends ago for a birthday party and his good friend (and mine too) of over 20 years came up for it. His friend works at a major US airport (I'll keep that anonymous) and was telling us that he ran into the Undertaker about a month or so ago at the airport. He actually walked over and had a 5 minute conversation with him. My brother's friend is exactly 1/8 of an inch less than 6 foot 3. He's also been a wrestling fan for 25+ years as well. He's not someone who would even care about overstimating someone's height either. Now, thinking of this board I asked him specifically how tall he looked and if he appeared taller than another of my brother's friends who stands a solid 6 foot 10. His response was that the Taker was about 6 foot 9 or close to it. When I asked him about the 6 foot 10 guy he said the Taker was not quite as tall as that guy. Then I asked him if perhaps he was 6 foot 7 or so- trying to establish a definite minimum. He said no way was he less than 6 foot 8. He still stood on closer to 6 foot 9. So, that is a recent firsthand close-up encounter that also lasted a fair amount of time. I've always attested the Taker was 6 foot 8-1/2 and this backs up my claim. I don't buy anyone who claims he's less than 6 foot 8. I've read some who post as low as 6 foot 6 and that is just an utter joke.

Then I asked him if perhaps he was 6 foot 7 or so- trying to establish a definite minimum. He said no way was he less than 6 foot 8. He still stood on closer to 6 foot 9. So, that is a recent firsthand close-up encounter that also lasted a fair amount of time. I've always attested the Taker was 6 foot 8-1/2 and this backs up my claim. I don't buy anyone who claims he's less than 6 foot 8. I've read some who post as low as 6 foot 6 and that is just an utter joke.

Ola i seen Hall at Madison Square Garden and i was about 8 feet away from him and he looked about 6ft 6 and i would say 6ft 5 is the shortest he could have been....He could have been wearing lifts??

yes, when i started to watch wcw nitro 1996, scott hall had always about 1/2-1 inch to hogan. so Hall is little taller than the rock ;) Hall looks to be max 6'4 1/2 to me.
so yes all are about the same height. max 1 inch between them all.
and i think a 6'5 Hogan from 1990 would be taller than Hall

Ola...Hogan definitely didn't wear lifts when he wrestled Rock. In fact he had half an inch on The Rock as most here will agree. It may be a bit generous to give Rock 6'3... sometimes he looks only slightly over 6'2.

In survivor series 91 there is maybe only little over 3 inch between hogan and UT.(6'5 and 6'8 1/2) but if you watch backlash 2002, there is a good 5 inch between them(6'3 1/2 and 6'8 1/2). UT towers over hogan there.
but i cant see hogan wearing that big hights in his boots in any of those matches like he did when he faced rock(sadly for wwe, they simple recognize that the rock was taller than hogan and gave hogan alot of hights in they're matches. "immortal" hulk hogan CANNOT look to be shorter than rock, wwe wouldnt accept that). In fact... Hogan had only 1-1/2 inch to brock lesnar. Rock had 2 inch on lesnar... Hogan had only 1 inch to goldberg back in 1997/98. Rock had atleast 1 1/2 inch on goldberg. Comparing to other opponents rock looks to be taller. there's only in hogans matches with the rock he seems to be at the same height, or little taller. (due to his heights)

In those recent photos with his family and on his show, Hogan is looking rather short. For some it may bring a tear to the eye when they see his daughter not looking much shorter next to him. I gotta say, it must be a big let down for many of the little hulksters out there who grew up and faced reality. He's still cool though, brother. By the way, like many other wrestlers, UT had his height grossly exaggerated over the years. They used to refer to him as 7 ft. several times and of course the common 6'10. If I gave UT 6'7 peak actual height that would be a bit generous. Big Skinny Nash is taller, with 6'9 seeming logical.

I know BBM trimemd down alot, but ring announcers also know diddly. I can't remember where I read/heard it, but they basically go off approximations. i remember a match once with Hulk, and G Monsoon said he had trimemd down to 270 (was mabbe the Earthquake match?) yet the ring announcer still rang out the old, '302 lb' routine.
I am amazed at that ted DiBiase height, but meetings are the best way to determine height I think.
I'll look for that Hogan tag match. As for Sid, I have him at 6 ft 6 in, cas I don't think he was 6 ft 8 in. I was mates with Bulldog and he told me how big Sid was. Kev Nash is a legit 6 ft 9 in and he has a couple inches on Sid and Undie.

Halb, Bossman wasn't always listed at 357. Read what I wrote. As time went by, the annoucers WERE calling him out at a lighter weight starting in 1990, until he left the WWF. That was done because his whole gimmick (other than being a correctional officer) was his SIZE. When he was trimming down, they couldn't ignore that. Maybe he didn't want them to either and that's why they didn't. Same with Undertaker, who's weight loss was noticeable and hence the 328 pounds became 305 and same with Hogan's 303 down to 275 when he came back to the WWE in 2002.
Ola, met Dibiase in CT with my friend in a restaurant. My friend is 6'3" and weighs 220. Dibiase was at the table next to us. When he went to pay the check, my friend did as well. Ted looked taller and was definitely wider (at least 250-260 pounds).
Halb, go to Youtube and type in Big John Studd, or King Kong Bundy. What you'll get is a tag team match between Hogan and Andre vs. Studd and Bundy from 1985. There are better matches between Studd and Hogan from 1984-1985, but this one you can still see that Studd was barely taller than Hogan. Even Undertaker and Psycho Sid (who were both close to 6'8") were barely taller than Hogan in 1991 and Hogan already lost over an inch in height by that time.

I have been trying to find some of my old wrestling tapes. It should be quite easy, has anyone got a pic of Hogan next to Big John Studd? Studd was 6 ft 7 in tall. And so at that height if Hogan really was 6 ft 6 in, then the difference should be barely noticable? Anyone got a good pic?

hogan today may be between 6ft 3 - 6ft 4.
In his prime, i believe he was at legitimate 6ft 6. still a fairly tall guy, but not 6ft 8 for sure.

I'll bet just about any celebrity would at the very least try to squeeze an extra inch (usually more) when questioned about their actual height. For Hogan, he's probably about 6 ft 3 at present. In old 80's wrestling footage he tends to look taller at times compared to recent footage, but then again it varies depending on the size of the opposing wrestler in comparison. As for 6'7 peak, NOPE! Maybe Hogan can be billed at 6'8 again if he wrestles Mysterio in the next W-Mania. Of course, Mysterio will have to be stated as at least 6 ft. lol

If BossMan said he was 380 fine, ring announcers don't really care aboot weight that's why Bossman was always hailed as 357 even tho his weight fluctuated. Tho when he dropped down to 270 his 'ring weight' was hailed at around 310.
U can correct me with all the incorrect info you want, Bundy looked to be the same height as Reed, and shorter than Rude, he's not 6 ft 4 in.:oD
Hogan didn't look 4 inches shorter than Andre at WM3 at his 'supposed' 6 ft 6 in height. I can guess that he rounded up to 6 ft 5 when he was younger, but was prolly more like 6 ft 4 barefoot. I had a mate who met him at poolside once, he said he was not as big as he thought he would be and aboot my height but not more.

Viper, guaranteed if you had Hogan stand next to Ted Dibiase today, that they would sadly be the same height. Ted claims he was 6'4". I believe he was at least 6'3" (he was tall) and YES, Hogan had him by at least 3" in 1979. In the NWO (1996-1999), Hogan had him by about 1.5" and as I said, if anything Hogan would have him by MAX .5" today. Sad But True.

No, Halb, he was 6'5" in High School, not College and NO, he hadn't lost 3" in 1990. According to him, he lost 1.25" at that point. He later lost another 1" at some point in the mid to late 90's and then yet another inch in 2000-2004. I believe that it happenend in 3 cycles.
Finally, Bundy WAS indeed about 6'4". Minimum 6'3". He was over 440 pounds and tall. Big John Studd had only about 3-4" on him.
Finally, I hate to keep correcting you Halb, but Bossman weighed 380 according to him in 1987. By the early 90's (not late), he was down to 277 pounds according to him he lost over 100 pounds and it showed. He was actually quite muscular and in great shape by the end of his life. He was 6'4" and Hogan had him by a couple of inches in interviews and in their matches.

I can see that Hogan was 6'5 mabbe in his prime, that's what he was in college, but anything more than that is wrestling add on. When Orton and Hogan had their first chat, Orton looked much taller to me, mabbe Hogan has lost an inch-inch half, I doubt more than that, I still go with the statement from below. Had Hogan lost 3inches when he faced Warrior in 90 danimal? Cas there isn't much height diff betwen him and the 6'2 Warriot there.:oD At WMIII there was more than 4 inches diff between Andre and Hogan, and King Kong Bundy was not 6 ft 4, look at the survivor series cover, he was same height as Butch Reed.

Does anybody know how tall the boss man was? Cause Hulk was more than an inch taller. Could have been lifts but i doubt it. The summerslam match with John tenta in the end when boss man and hulk stand side by side in the ring, he has atleast an inch and a half on the boss man.

If Hogan has a half inch on Randy Orton, that would pretty much make Orton 6-3 flat as Ive been saying all along.

What's also obvious is that when Hogan wears jeans, you can clearly see how small his legs and hips are today. That hip surgery made him look tiny and short in the legs. That and his fused neck must have been the 2 things that brought him below 6'4" from his 6'5" WCW days. It's even obvious from 2000 to 2002. I wonder how much height one can lose from new hips?

I think the difference was exactly the same as when they met the first time in the ring. (When Hogan was with Brook)
Hogan looked half an inch taller than Orton.
My personal view is that if both men were barefeet Hogan would be the taller of the two. To me Hogan looks very close to 6'4, just look at the photos of him and Lou Ferrigno. Also in his Show (Hogan knows best) he always wears sandals which have no heel. All people around him wear regular shoes so naturally that will make them look taller. Brook often wears high heels.

You guys happen to see Raw last night!! When Hulk faced Orton and stood up really straight, he was about 0.5" taller as Randy. So he could still be 6'4".

Louie, you have NO idea what you are talking about AT ALL. Scott has stated he is really 6'5". Hogan has stated he is around 6'4". Edge has stated he is 6'2"-6'3". Hall was NEVER 6'6". Hall and Hogan were the same height in the WCW (mid-late 90's), which was when Hogan was still a shade off of 6'5". The only one you got right is Big Show. The rest, do you homework Louie, because you FAILED this test.

Its possible that Hogan was 6-4 1/2 and wore lifts to look 6-6-6-7. Doesnt wear lifts anymore and only shrunk 1-1.5 inches. I think this was Jason's argument. I dont think that sounds to farfetched actually.

"Hogan's height is and has always been 194.8 cm, which is just under 6ft 4.5".
There is no way on God's green earth anyone could claim this guy's height has remained the same. Back in '85, when he was billed as 6-8, nobody but the truly saavy questioned it. But now? If they listed him as 6-8 right now it would be beyond laughable. The same goes for Superstar Graham, Piper, even Ric Flair. And wonder of wonders---of the four, three have had hip replacements. Flair, the only one who didn't, has a famously bad back and neck.
IMO, Hogan has lost between 1.5-2 inches, plus, due to his knees, may have stopped using lifts/augmenting boots.

Look at the photo I have posted and you will see that Brook is prolly in heels which make her 6'1. Now, Hogan has lost iches of height, he has stated this on many occasions. In My pic I posted of him and brook shows that he is about 6'4 now, maybe less. Danimal brigns up points about Hogans height and I agree that there defenityly is height loss, however I think its more like 2 inches, but add that to the photo and youll see Hogan was about 6'6 in his prime.

He was about an inch and a half shorter than me. He said that he had lost some height with age and injury. 6'3 or so is about right

Id say Hogan is 193cm to be exact just edging 6,4. I think if he stood up straight youd see he's abit taller. The rock etc have been made to look taller IMO. But for he's full measurement height for when he's measured and standing up straight is 193cm. In he's prime he was probably around 6,6 197-198cm maybe. However i am not sure if he really was as high as 6,7 i found it hard to belive he could go from lets say 200cm to just 193-192cm. Thats like 8cm! A belivable height loss for 6,7 would be this. He would have to just barly be 6,7 in he's prime at 200cm then now he would 194 for the most but 195 in the morning.

It will be easier to see the difference when they face off. The angles can throw you off quite a bit Alex. To me Hogan looked a bit taller. But it might be accounted for by the angle, we'll know for sure when they get in the ring.

Guys, he didn't lose 3" in one day...lol, BUT, I still believe he lost the height in 3 time periods. His first height lost occured in 1990. His second was somewhere in the mid-late nineties and the 3rd was somewhere between 2000-2002. I believe he went from 6'6" to just under 6'5" to just over 6'3". There you have it. Pay attention to his NECK. It IS shorter since his last days in the WCW. IT's been FUSED. His hips were replaced in the early 2000's. His knees have been replaced. His back operated on several times since 1990.

Im still really skeptical about Hogans supposedly 3 inch height loss. Thats insane, really.
Editor Rob
just an aside:
1999 research paper on height loss with 2000 sample size, patient measurements taken in years from 1958 -> 1993, results were:
- average cumulative height loss from age 30 (when height loss began) to age 70: men 3cm (bit over 1 inch), women 5cm (just about 2 inches).
as for hogan, 2.5 inches by your 50's is extreme. But then he is not an average sized man and has not had an average lifestyle. His body might have taken more of a pounding over the years...who knows about lost cartilage or bone in his knees, is it possible his intervertebral discs degenerated, or did he ever have any compressed fractures in vertebrae, what surgeries on his back/neck occurred?

There was not as much as a difference from the late 90's to now. But of course if you take from the Mid to late 80's to now it looks as it could have been 3 inches possibly.

Hogan was clearly the taller of the two... youguys can't make the judgement based on the angle where Orton is closer to the camera.. In every shot where the angle was better Hogan was the taller of the two. Also, look at when they shake hands. Hogan has about half an inch to an inch on Orton.

When Hogan appeared on Leno in 1998 (I have it on VHS, he still had a good 5.5" on Leno. Today is another story though. I truthfully don't know what he has been reduced to in height, but I DO know what he once was. Hilbilly was at least 6'5"-6'6" according to myself and to Rob and we know that Hogan WAS taller. He probably was never 6'7", but I wouldn't discount 6'6" and change. If I were to guess, I would give him 6'3"-6'3.5" today.

If Orton was taller then Hogan, then Hogan could very well be 6-2 now. I think Orton is just 6-3 flat.

Also on SNME Hogan had sneakers on which will give him 1-1.5 inches of height and Brook had on heels that were a good 3-4 inches, and Hogan still had her by 2 inches. So he was probably 6'4 in sneakers while she was about 6'2 in heels.

It looked like he had an inch on Orton and still he wasn't standing completely straight. Maybe Hogan is a full 6'4 and Orton a flat 6'3? I really can't see Orton below 6'3 though.

Hulk Hogan has to be 6'5". He looked was about a half inch to an inch taller than Randy Orton on Saturday Night's Main Event. He was wearing sneakers. He still looks in incredible shape. I'd say he was 6'6" in his prime and now 6'5".

I personally think Hogan is 6'3 flat today, no shorter but no taller either. He has shrunk at least 2 inches and he was 6'5 at the least at his peak but was probably 6'5.5-6'6. So if he was 6'6 then he shrunk 3 inches which is possible. The man looks a few inches shorter than he did back then which most will agree on.

I almost take that as a compliment Danimal :). Anyway, Hogan does look 6-2ish to me on his TV show and when he appeared on Jay Leno. Im not saying hes a definite 6-2, just saying he can look that range to me at times.

Hogan looks 4.5 inches taller then brook who is 5'11 so 6'3 1/2 souns right for Hogan now,,,but in his day he was 6'6 or so--i'm sure of it

Viper, Hogan isn't 6'2". He's still over 6'3". Looks like you're taking over where Jason and that other guy Cyclops left off ;).

nah... I have a hard time believing the Hulk is only 6'2, I mean I am 6'2.5 myself and there is no way I'm as tall as Hogan. He should at least have an inch on me. 6'3.5-6'4 sounds about right though.

I think Randy is 6-3, though Hogan could be closer to 6-2 now.

Wow the WWE actually bills Randy Orton as 6'4!!! Click Here
It will be interesting to see how tall he looks next to the Hulkster.
Funny... why should the WWE start telling the truth now? lol

Hogan was still taller than the Rock in 2002 and not the other way around. I give Rock 6'2" and Hogan 6'3" and change. By 2002, Hogan had lost a lot of height due to numerous surgeries. The man's neck was even fused and that's why it appears nowhere near as long as it once was. His new hips give him a much smaller and shorter lower body and his back surgeries, took height off his spine, and then there's his knee replacements gone wrong, which cause him to not be able to straighten out his legs. Put Hogan circa 1984-1989 (his prime) against the Rock of 2002, there would be no eye to eye staredown, because Hogan would have towered over him GUARANTEED.

Hogan was old wehn he fought rock----In the 80's he was 6'6 or close to it--COme on we all know Hogan had shrunk by the Time he fought rock. One your right about your statement but Rucil is talking about Hogans max height. Rucils post shows Hogan to be 6'6 or at least 6'5 in the 80's
