Hey rob how tall you think was the big boss man? They look pretty relative in height in their cage match?

@ Halb
I just re-watched the car video. It is indeed the WSI interview. And DDP never once referred to Hulk Hogan as 6’2”… he said he is 6’4.5”
He said “6’7” peak for Hogan…but he is now eye to eye with me. He’s maybe 6’4.5” possibly 6’5” ish max “
He’s right though…they are about eye to eye.
Current DDP 6’3.25” & current Hogan 6’3 “
When they had their big run & feud from 1997-1999 Hogan was indeed 6’4.5” and DDP 6’4”.
If Dallas was referring to 1998, then yeah…he’s spot on😂😂😂😂😂😂
__________________________________________________
RP I had an interesting conversation with my coworker today. he had gone to an event very recently and had the opportunity to talk some with DDP. When I asked he said he thought DDP was about my height but maybe just a bit shorter. Granted I wasn't there for a direct comparison, but today I measure about 6'2 1/4" barefoot.

@ Halb… DDP also said about 6’4” for Hogan now in a very recent interview he did while driving his car. He claimed Hogan was about 6’7” in his prime, and the last time he saw him he was about 6’4”. DDP also claims to be a strong 6’4” barefoot. Which he’s not. He’s 6’3.25” tops barefoot now…FACTS. All this being said, DDP is not a reliable source on anyone’s height. He seems to constantly waver back & forth from kayfab to reality.
Halb said on 7/May/22
DDP was interviewed on WSI recently, he reckons Hogan is 6'2".
SR1279 said on 3/May/22
@Miko when I first met him he was in the 6’5”-6’6” range. That was mid 80’s. He had cowboy boots on and was a a little taller maybe 1/2” then my fathers 6’7” driver. The driver had on military style boots. I’m thinking he was around 6’5.75” to 6’6” barefoot at 9 am in the morning. That’s the time he picked him up from the hotel to take him to a event at Disney. There’s pictures at my dads office. Next time I’m in Florida I will go get those Polaroids and post them. There are tons with wrestlers and other sports figures.
Alex 6'0 said on 30/Apr/22
Canson i could see 6'5.5 lunchtime and 6'5.25 at his worst. These heights aren't listed at absolute low so 6'5.5 would be fair.
miko said on 30/Apr/22
The first time Hogan started looking shorter was probably the mid-90's.
If he lost anything noticeable before around 1994/1995 I'd be very surprised, although you can't rule out maybe 1/4 of an inch. He looked consistently a flat 6'5 from the late 70's up until around 1995 ish, after that he started struggling against other 6'5 guys such as Hall, Brian Adams etc.. and Nash was dwarfing him.
He was down to 6'4 range by his WWE return in 2002, general wear and tear/posture and some surgeries seemed to chop off some height in the late 90's and early 00's.
In recent years will all sorts of different surgeries his height is all over the place. He still looks 6'3 when he stands properly though. I'd suspect if he reaches 70 he'll fall under it.
John moss said on 29/Apr/22
Hulk Hogan was head to head of Andre The Giant in the ring he look as almost as tall as Andre but Andre was still taller than him.
James B 171.5cm said on 28/Apr/22
rob do you think hogan lost some height by early 90s?

Editor Rob
That's the big question - at what age did he start to lose. Given when he started wrestling, by early 90's he might have suffered a first loss.
Closetofiveten said on 27/Apr/22
Yes I did. Well, he admitted that it's hard to tell, because there was no one to compare him to, so we can only base Andre height on pictures. Besides, he probably didn't want to riun this myth about Andre's size, but about the rest he was more honest.
Closetofiveten said on 27/Apr/22
Two days ago, Dutch Mantell was asked about the true height of WWE superstars. When interviewer ask him about Hulk Hogan's peak, he answer: "6-4... 6-3". Interviewer: "Really? I've heard like 6-6, 6-7 free - you know - in the prime days." DM: "No. I don't think so. It's my answer, right?"

I agree. I've never have Hogan at more than 6-5 peak. Now he is - if he stands fully straight - maybe 6-3.

@RP very possible a 6’1.5” to 6’2” range on Atlas. Was a few inches taller then my dad who was around 5’11” or a bit over at the time. He had massive arms. Almost didn’t look normal on his frame.
viper said on 24/Apr/22
SR that would be fantastic.
RP said on 23/Apr/22
Rob, Tony Atlas needs a page ASAP. IMO…Peak height was 6’1.75”…
By the early 2000’s he was more like 6’0.5”.
BTW…just looked at more & better footage of Mark Henry & 2000’s + Tony Atlas. And it’s by no means a 4” difference, LOL!!!! It was actually 2”. And check out the footwear. Tony was typically always in 1” dress shoes. And Mark Henry was mostly I. Massive 2” wrestling boots. Zoom in…do the research. Peak Mark Henry was about 6’2”
SR1279 said on 23/Apr/22
@David Banner I assure you in 1986 Atlas was 6’2” without a doubt. Next time I am at my dads office I will try and find his photo album that has pictures of all the people he has hosted over the past 45 years. Might be surprised at how some of these wrestlers really stack up to the listed heights. They are not all inflated. Especially the older ones from the late 70’s.
David Banner said on 19/Apr/22
@SR1279
Let me preface by saying - I respect your opinion and think it’s awesome you got to meet so many of those guys!
If you google Mark Henry and Tony Atlas - Mark towers over him.
Mark is 6’1.5” tops
Has Tony lost 4” in height?
Canson said on 19/Apr/22
@SR1279: I can see that mark around lunch. But not in. The afternoon: and to me 6’5.5 or .75 is a best case for lunch. 6’5.25-.5 range in the afternoon with 6’5.5 a best case 6’5.25 worst. I think Rob would correct the problem if he reduced it to 6’5.5 though since his prime may have been short lived. 6’5.5 is the sweet spot imho since it covers a 6’6 morning height and he very well could’ve held this at his low in the afternoon in his absolute prime
SR1279 said on 18/Apr/22
@David Banner I have met Atlas several times over the years. He’s absolutely 6’2”. Possibly a hair over. Met Hulk also. 6’3” now. Possibly a hair over and met him when I was a kid and in my opinion was in the 6’5.5”-6’6” range. Got to meet a lot of the wrestles growing up. My family had a limo business and would pick wrestlers up from the venues and take them to restaurants or back to their hotels.
David Banner said on 17/Apr/22
@sr1279. If you google Atlas and Hogan - there’s a pic of them standing face to face and Hulks only a couple inches taller. Both are prime heights.
Atlas was not 6’2” either - that was his billed height
SR1279 said on 17/Apr/22
@Canson I can agree with anything between 6’5.5-6’6” when he was younger. I agree with you on he was never bigger then that. Happy Easter everyone!
Canson said on 17/Apr/22
@Public Enemy and SR1279: 6’5.75 at lunch like Public Enemy said maybe. 6’5.5 is a best case for his peak afternoon/evening. That to me should be his listing. 6’5.75 would be a good start
SR1279 said on 16/Apr/22
Looking at how Hulk stood up against Tony Atlas I can see 6’6” when he was a younger man. Not over that tho. Atlas was a legit 6’2” man.
Public Enemy said on 16/Apr/22
I don’t rule out 6’5.75 peak for a 21 year old Hogan.i
SeanR said on 15/Apr/22
Maybe one of the reasons Rob is keeping Hulk’s peak height at 6’6” is because of the pic with John Matuszak (6’7”) from the 80’s.
Very close in height for sure but Hogan had a tendency to wear cowboys boots back then. Hopefully Rob will come around and get Hogan down to his peak height of 6’5 1/2” but remains to be seen.
IceCold said on 13/Apr/22
6'5 1/2 is really best case for Hogan. even 6'5 3/4 is too high. In the 90s he was already distinctly shorter than Sid Eudy and Dennis Rodman. He looked 6'4 range. Impossible he lost 2 inches then
Tech noir said on 3/Apr/22
6-5 peak.
Lornearmstrong said on 30/Mar/22

I can’t see Hogan’s knees with Jinder Mahal in the new pic (I’m willing the bet they are bent like always) but, got to admit, Hogan only looks 6’2.5” max with Mahal. However, like I said though, I’m sure Hogan’s knees are bent some, costing him at least a 1/2” inch.
David Banner said on 26/Mar/22

I think Hogan was 6'5 max. Even in 1996, he wasn't much taller than Scott Hall at the birth of the NWO. Years prior to this, Scott Hall looked small compared to Sid. Hogan seemed short as well standing next to Sid who claimed 6'6 at one point I recall and may have worn lifts?
Canson said on 9/Mar/22
@SR1279: that’s probably fair. 6’5.5 peak and maybe 6’3.25 but that’s best case today. He may have been that until recently. Personally 6’5.5 and 6’3 flat. I think a more defined range is 6’2.75-6’3.25” and 6’5-6’5.5 peak for afternoon heights
SR1279 said on 8/Mar/22
@Kaptain Krunch they did bill him at 6’9” and 6’8”. I don’t believe 6’7” either. I’m almost positive he did hit 6’6” tho. Whether it was a morning measurement or he actually carried 6’6” middle of the day. My personal thoughts based on meeting him multiple times in the 80’s and now. 6’5.5” prime and 6’3.25” current. Possibly 6’3.5”.
Duhon said on 8/Mar/22
@Kaptain not that Hogan was actually 6'7" but he was listed at 6'9" at points in his WWF career.
Kaptain Krunch said on 7/Mar/22
Hulk Hogan and Lou Ferrigno are about the same height these days, 6'3"ish - Hogan was never more than 6'5"ish, as there absolutely is no way a 1980s professional "wrestler" would exaggerate his height by only two inches; heck - most civilians add an inch or more, IME. If Hogan was ever truly 6'7" barefoot (as he claimed), he'd have gone with 6'9" for his "wrestling" career. I say Hogan was 6'4 1/2" - 6'5" peak - 6'2 3/4 to 6' 3 1/4" now.
RP said on 5/Mar/22
Zeus (Tom Lister) started off wearing a 2.50” super heel (like in the movie) and then switched over to a 1.75” heel to be more mobile in the ring. And it’s FACT that when Lister switched to the 1.75” heel, he was only 0.25” to 0.5” taller than Hogan when doing their in-ring stare downs. In the larger boots it was more like 1.25”. This points to a 1989-90 Tom Lister & Hulk Hogan being a bang on 6’5” barefoot. Just as Tom Lister has said in multiple interviews. He has many times said that during filming of the movie that he & Hogan were both 6’5” and that he, himself… was 315 lbs during filming (bulking up from 285 at the audition) and he said Hogan was 300-305 during the filming of No Holds Barred. Hogan, could perhaps have been 6’5.25” in 1989-1990. Peak 1979-early 80’s Hogan was 6’5.5”. Rob 100% needs to lower his peak to 6’5.5”….his current seems accurate (when he stands up straight)
Canson said on 5/Mar/22
@Monkey Knees: 6’2” seems too low for him
James B 171.5cm said on 4/Mar/22
It is strange one how he could look more 6’4 with Sid
SR1279 said on 3/Mar/22
@miko I’ve watched that match and I think Hulk edged him out by a 1/2”. Not the other way around. There’s a ton of pictures on line showing it. Lister looked to have had a thick heel. Not as think as the heel on that movie they played in but minimal of 2”.
miko said on 1/Mar/22
Hogan was about half an inch shorter in the ring than 6'5 Lister in the 1989 staredown.
Lister looked to have a small footwear advantage but if Hulk was 6'6 at that time he should've still been coming out taller. Listers footwear wasn't 1.5' bigger.
Hulk was generally looking 6'5 flat around the late 80's/early 90's, I'm struggling to see him having lost a full inch by his mid 30's.
SR1279 said on 1/Mar/22
@heightchecker34 Hulk is close to 300 pounds now. At his heaviest he was around 315-320. Today around 295.
heightchecker34 said on 28/Feb/22
On Don Muraco's podcast, he mentioned Hulk was 6'6 roughly 300 lb. While I doubt the weight, even if it was during the 80's in WWF, during his prime run, his height might be plausible, though I still think he is lower end of 6'5.

Early 80s peak 6ft 6in. Tops, in the morning.

Time to downgrade to 6'5" peak. Same as Zeus. Yes, Zeus wore lifts on occasion, but so did Hogan. Both were roughly the same height. Show me a pic where peak Hogan has an inch on a legit 6'5" guy. I can't find one.
Ben Bell said on 23/Feb/22
Seeing some Valentine comments here I thought I’d chime in. In stood next to him at wrestleslam in the uk in 08 and I was sure he was 5’10. A guy who I was with was 5’11, he had a pic with Valentine and Valentine was taller, 6ft tops.
He was a lot wider than I expected, a genuinely huge guy, built like a block. He also seemed to be under the influence of some kind of downer. Him and neidhart could barely talk.

Actually seeing him with Trump it can look closer to 3” than 3.5” at times.

@ SR1279…
My honest opinion with meeting a 46 year old Greg Valentine in person back in 1997, and judging him @ 5’10.5” to maybe 5’10.25” ….I would guess at his peak he was 5’10.75” afternoon barefoot & 6’0” in sneakers/shoes. It’s funny….cause I’m now 46 years old myself. And I’m still 5’11” barefoot. As I was in 1997 at the age of at the age of 21.
Myself:
Fresh out of bed @ 05:00 AM: 5’11-1/4”
10:00 AM: 5’11-1/8”
13:00 PM: 5’10-7/8”
20:00 PM: 5’10-3/4”
So, I can judge 5’8” to 6’3” guys really, really well just from standing beside them & looking them in the face & eyes.
Mike voorhees said on 20/Feb/22

SR1279 said on 19/Feb/22
@RP he may have dipped down but I’m telling you he was the same size as my step dad and he was a hair over 6’. He’s 76 and 5’11” now. Greg was minimum 6’ back then when I met him. Seen him in person with my own eyes.
RP said on 18/Feb/22
@ SR1279…
I also met Greg Valentine once. It was 1997. And Greg was 5’10.5”….”Max”
I see no way he was 6’0” to 6’1” just 9 years earlier in 1988. The most I can see a peak Greg Valentine is 5’11”. Because I’m telling you, in 1997 he was 5’10.5” at most. Potential even just barely a weak 5’10”.

Scott, Studd was taller than Hogan & Hogan was more like 2 inches shorter than Sid I dont Believe Lou Ferrigno was ever 6ft 5 Barefoot.
_____________________________
I agree. Lou Ferrigno was a good inch shorter than Jason Segel in I love you man. Sure, Lou probably lost some height by that movie, but doubtful he was ever more than 6'4" peak. Studd was taller than Hogan too. I know a lot of times Studds boots were stacked, but He still had Hogan by an inch barefoot to barefoot in my opinion. Sid sometimes wore thicker boots to, and Hogan likely lost a little by the time Sid was in the WWE, but even a peak Hogan I think would have been at least an inch shorter, maybe 1.5". By the time Hogan faced Sid, it probably was closer to a 2" difference. Just my opinion, but Peak Hogan 6'4.75"-6'5.25", Peak Studd 6'5.75"-6'6.25", peak Sid 6'6"-6'6.5", peak Ferrigno 6-3.75"-6'4.25"
SR1279 said on 17/Feb/22
Undertaker Frank I met studd back in 88 after a show at the ocean center here in FL. My step father use to own a private transport service in Central FL and would pick people up from different venues and take them to their hotels, for dinner or the airport. He picked up Studd and Greg Valentine. He took them to a restaurant on the beach in Daytona. After the riots in Miami he moved from down there up to the Sanford area but kept the same mind set about having a security guard ride with him. His security guard Don was 6’7” and change. I actually measured him in my step fathers garage. No shoes on so a legit 6’7” guy. I was in awe of how big he was and was surprised when he said sure, measure me. My mother took me down to the restaurant and we met Studd and Valentine. Valentine was 6’ maybe 6’1”. Him and my step dad were the same size and my step dad was a little over 6’. Even in his 70’s now he’s still 5’11”. Studd was the exact same size as Don the bodyguard. Identical. So Studd was at least 6’7” out of ring gear. That was around 6 that evening because the show was at 2 in the afternoon. Hogan in my opinion was 6’5.5” maybe 6’6”. Studd had at minimum 1” on Hogan if he was 6’6”.

Hulk Hogan was NEVER over 6' 5" He was the same exact height as Big John Studd who was 6' 5" ..And the same height as Lou Ferrigno who's peak was 6'5" ..Hulk was an inch shorter than Sid Vicious(Syd Udy) who was a legit 6' 6" (78" see his mug shot photo)...Hulk is now in the 6'3"-6"4" range...same as Lou Ferrigno..Who I stood next to at the San Diego Comic Con ...we were the same height and I'm 6'4" barefoot... Hulk at his peak was 6'5" and he came up to Andre's eye line exactly and we assume Andre's head was larger than the average 9-10" adult male head length maybe 12"-13" total length.. then Andre was probably about 7' even...
Canson said on 13/Feb/22
@GS1981: that’s not a bad estimate either. Only 1/2” less than I estimated and still around where everyone else has him. It’s definitely possible
SR1279 said on 12/Feb/22
GS1981 must be confusion. I don’t think he was 6’7”. I think he would have woke up a .25”-.5” over 6’6” and decreased in height to 6’5”-6’5.25” evening. So a 6’5.5” midday height as peak. No way he was under 6’5” in his prime. And from the last time I’ve seen him he was somewhere between the 6’3.25”-6’4” range. Not under 6’3” tho.
GS1981 said on 11/Feb/22
@SR1279 you have lost me now because i never said 6ft 2, i said hes about 6ft 3 now and was about 6ft 4.5 to 6ft 5 in his prime
That being said for some reason i thought you said he was 6ft 7 so i think there is a bit of confusion here.
al001 said on 9/Feb/22
Two questions, in 2016 do you think he could’ve actually been 6’4 still? Also, is he known to wear lifts?

Editor Rob
I think his joint problems effected his ability to stand tall...and like Mick Foley and Nash, maybe had shrunk down a bit then regained a cm or so through surgery.
SR1279 said on 7/Feb/22
@GS1981 I’m not understanding your argument now? If you are 6’3.5” barefoot and Hall is 1.5” taller then you then that puts him at a 6’4” height flat. Hulk has lost height. That’s factual. How much? Who really knows. 2” is a fair give back. So if he’s 6’3” now flat then he was 6’5” as a youth. Which puts him at a 6’6” out of bed. I will go with that theory even tho I believe he was 1/2” bigger. So what’s the argument? I thought you said he was only 6’4” prime and 6’2” current?
Mike voorhees said on 6/Feb/22
More a 6-5 guy peak
SR1279 said on 5/Feb/22
Brutus was at the minimum 6’2” prime. Hogan towered him by minimum 4”. Some pictures show more but can’t see footwear. So those are not credible. The ones I’ve seen where they are both in flip flops show a 4” difference. So if Brutus drops to 6’1.5” evening height that puts Hulk at 6’5.5” evening. Brutus didn’t carry as much weight on him as Hulk did so I think he didn’t lose much height during the day. But Hulk, I see a full inch from morning to night he drops at his heaviest. I have no doubt that he hit 6’6” possibly 6’6.25”-6’6.5” out of bed. Just don’t know when that number curves. I’m gonna go with a 6’5.5” peak height. It makes the most sense.
GS1981 said on 4/Feb/22
@SR1279 with all due respect, me saying proof would be about as believable as the proof you are stating about knowing him in person, so in that regards do you have pics of said meetings?

Click Here , Scott was 1.5-2" taller than me but with noticiably bigger heels on his trainers, i am 6ft 3.5 barefoot, Scott Hall with those trainers on was around the 6ft 5 mark, Hall is always dead on the same Height as Hogan, so barefoot i'd say they are both men are about 6ft 3.75-6ft4.5ish
Canson said on 31/Jan/22
@GS1981: it wasn’t as much as 2-3” between Hogan and Taker at their peak heights. I’ve posted pics before where It was max 1.5-2”. I don’t think Hogan was 6’6 at his peak but 6’5 plus instead while Taker was 6’7”. Hogan is older than taker and has had more injuries and he has actually lost more height than Taker. Taker looks to have lost an inch whereas Hogan maybe 2-3” (surely not 4”). The loss is more likely in the 2-2.5” range unless he’s now under 6’3 which is possible being I haven’t seen recent pics. But I’m not sure SR1279 thinks hogan was near 6’7 as his estimate is similar to mine. 6’6 maybe a hair over out of bed and 6’5.25” in the afternoon
@Miko: I agree. Probably 2 cm between Sid and Taker. It’s likely that Taker was 6’7.25 lunchtime and 6’7 flat afternoon and that Sid was likely 6’6.25” in the afternoon. There is no consistency with the listings as some are morning, some lunch, some at their afternoon lows, and some in between.
SR1279 said on 30/Jan/22
@Canson I agree with you. 6’5.5” is a very good middle ground for peak. Splitting the difference of 6’5”-6’6”. I’m sure he hit all 3 of these heights during the day with 6’5.5” being his constant throughout. I lean towards a 6’5.25” evening height with his weight as much as it was early on. Maybe even 6’5” flat.
@GS1981 I respect your opinion I just know from seeing with my own eyes that it’s not correct. But to each their own. When you meet him in person and have correspondence outside of bull crap wresting then please feel free to accurately give an opinion worth validating.
miko said on 30/Jan/22
If Hogan was 6'6 a cowboy-booted Hulk would've been taller than both Taker and Sid if they were in normal footwear, I just can't ever imagine that.
For the record I think Sid and Taker were very close in height, Sid at 6'6.5 range and Taker 6'7.
If you'd have put Hulk in cowboy boots next to Sid in 1991 he would've still been looking up at him.
GS1981 said on 29/Jan/22
@SR1279 there is no way he was ever near 6ft 7, can you show me one pic of him looking bigger than other guys who were the same height as him later on like Hall and Jake Roberts when he was in his prime to back up that claim? and not pics where he could be stood on a box or funny angles etc.
Undertaker was never any bigger than 6ft 7 and in 1990 was noticeably 2-3" taller than Hogan as was Sid a 6ft 5/6 guy easily 2" taller in 91, Hogan was not bigger in say 84 than he was in 1990, he took no time off to get surgery.
You do not lose 4" from surgery, that is kayfabe to hide the inflated height claims, they inflated his height to make Andre seem bigger, i have seen USWA videos of them saying hes 6ft 5 which would be closer to the truth.
His boots did have a noticeable lift, flat bottomed, raised the same height straight across.
Canson said on 29/Jan/22
@SR1279: I think if he were listed 6’5.5 here it would be a good fit. Almost glove like lol. I would’ve also said he was 6’5.25” afternoon height in his peak but others think he was taller and some shorter. 6’5.5 is the catch all as it is round able to 6’6” for most

@GS1981 Hogan never wore lifts. The only thick boot he ever wore was in Rocky. All others were thin soles. I’ve met him several times outside of the wrestling gimmick. Been in his home and seen many many pictures from the 70’s, 80’s and up. He was without a doubt no shorter then 6’5” and that’s honestly to low but I’m not splitting hairs. I will say 6’6.25” out of bed and 6’5.25” in the evening. Maybe 6’5.5” if he wasn’t lifting heavy earlier on in the day. I’m only 6’ even. Barefoot but my friend is 6’2” and Hulk had him by minimum 1.25” both in flip flops in his garage. And when I was a kid I met him at the ocean center and he had on slider shoes. My brother who was 6’4” in 1988 was looking up to him. Top of his head was at Hulks eyebrow. 1.25”-2” So sorry bud. You’re wrong on your guesses. Good try tho.
Canson said on 27/Jan/22
@Rampage: well no worse than Henry making elaborate stories up about his chiropractor and Hogan being 6’8 9/16 or 6’9 1/4 🤣 🤣. But below 6’2 today is taking it just as far. To me he can look 6’2 with bad posture but below is absurd and above 6’6 is too at his peak although a 6’6.5 is tolerable only because he claimed 6’7”. I think a realistic range is 6’2-6’6.5 and 6’3-6’6 more believable But he never looked above about 6’5.5-6 in his day against the other wrestlers. But He’s still at least 6’3 or near unless he began shrinking more within the last year or so. I really would’ve said a year or so ago that he hasn’t lost but 2-2.5” tops. I would’ve said peak 6’5-6’5.5 and current 6’2.75 (worst case) to 6’3.25 (best case). He could look 6’3.5 at times a few years back so I’ll give him 6’3.25 since he looked 6’3 as well. He could’ve been a tad underlisted when Rob first gave him 6’3
viper said on 27/Jan/22
He's certainly not under 6-2
GS1981 said on 27/Jan/22
Not taking in consideration footwear i'd say when Hogan and The Undertaker were wrestling in 1990 (91?) it looked like at least 2.5-3" in favor of the Undertaker who was always around 6ft 6/6ft 7, when they Wrestled again 2002? it looked like the same exact height difference in the staredown.
Scott Hall is the same exact size as Hulk Hogan and always has been, Scott Hall was billed at 6ft 7 and even 6ft 8 at times, i met Scott Hall, my picture is on the Scott Hall thread, i am 6ft 3.5 (194cm to be exact) and he was about 1.5" taller than me in noticeably higher shoes, so I'm guessing 6ft 4 maximum bare foot, about 0.5" taller than me, Jake Roberts was always billed between 6ft 4 to 5 and was the same height as these 2.
Assuming Andre was 7ft peak height and around 6ft 10 or 11 in the 80s as many state, I would say Hulk Hogan was never bigger than 6ft 4 bare foot, he did though use lifts when wrestling and other props in interviews, i have a very hard time believing Hogan was ever a legit 6ft 6.
Abyss is another one i met that was billed as 6ft 8 and he was the same exact height as me.
I get people shrink a tiny bit with age, I'm in my 40s and I'm the same exact height i was when i was 16, i don't believe back surgery's made him lose 4" in height, no chance, thats kayfabe believers wishful thinking and has he lost 4" in height that means the Undertaker did to, which he did not.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Jan/22
Wow, are we really gonna start arguing below 6ft2 for Hogan?
Canson said on 25/Jan/22
@SR1279: not sure how he got 6’7”. Maybe in shoes or maybe he was mismeasured. I have heard him say before that he was actually only 6’5” so that makes me wonder. 6’6-6’6.5 out of bed could explain it. Maybe he was really that range and his mom miscalculated or overestimated. And yes 6’5-6’5.5 afternoon/evening is a lock for his prime agreed

RP said on 24/Jan/22
@ Ben Bell…
Blow up the beach pics of Sid & Vader. You’ll see that Sid’s flip flops are the 0.75” versions. Not the 0.3” ones. And Vader was wearing like 1.25” cross training sneakers. So, Leon only had at best maybe a 0.5” footwear advantage. That’s why I am saying that Sid in those photos is only 3 inches taller than Leon. Because he’s actually only 2.5” to 2.75” taller. I was also including the slight footwear advantage and calling it an even 3“. When both guys are in full ring gea, Sid was a strong 4” taller to even 4.5” taller. Sid did in fact wear a 1” lift in his boots throughout the majority of his career. Maybe not all of the time… but absolutely most of the time. And as the other guys have pointed out on here, there’s actually plenty of evidence that shows this throughout his career. Especially with peak Kevin Nash.
SR1279 said on 24/Jan/22
@Canson all good examples. Could be any of those ranges. But, the one thing we can definitely say is 6’6” out of bed and 6’5” getting into bed. The fractions of these ranges during a full day we probably will never know exactly what they were. Crazy to think people lose their over it and will name call and argue over 1/4”-3/4”. Lol. I will never agree with anything under 6’5” peak. He was clearly a big man in his prime. I agree with you on your ranges. Makes you wonder if his claim of a 6’7” was a legit rounded up measurement from a 6’6.25/.5” morning measurement by his mom. I mean if she was drawing a line on a wall and angled the pencil upward to draw a line could definitely add 1/2”or a fraction more. Here’s my opinion. 6’6.25 out of bed. 6’5.25” at night. 1/2”-3/4” add by a shorter person drawing a line looking up above his head and boom! There’s his 6’7” claim. Case closed. Lol
David Banner said on 24/Jan/22
kayfabe from our childhood still seems to rule this forum
Hogan was never over 6’4” peak barefoot
He wore lifts and cowboy boots
Hogan now - 6’1.5 tops - he’s shorter than Sheamus who’s 6’2”
and that’s a fact. I’ve met Sheamus multiple times at a certain Grocery store and at FedEx Store. He’s barely taller than I am.
Ben Bell said on 22/Jan/22
Hogan a hit over 6’5 peak. A hair over 6’3 today.
Regarding Sid wearing lifts, I’ve never seen any evidence. Those mentioning Sid and Vader on the beach. Sid was wearing very flat flip flops. I believe the 6’6 listing from Sid is honest. He had no reason to lie, he’s been listen as high as 6’9.
Canson said on 22/Jan/22
@SR1279: actually I agree. With the weight maybe he did lose the full inch. I’d say 6’6.25 and 6’5.25 or 6’6/6’5 or 6’6.5/6’5.5
SR1279 said on 21/Jan/22
@Canson as heavy as he was back then I could see the inch dip. 315-325 is a lot of weight on a top heavy frame. But who knows.

I’d be shocked if Sid was just 6ft5 peak
Canson said on 20/Jan/22
@RP: you’re also 100% spot on! I’ve also heard Sid wore lifts. I could see it with Taker who didn’t always wear them as he could look shorter at times and almost the same height at times.
Canson said on 20/Jan/22
@SR1279: yea but if he’s dipping to 6’5.25 he wouldn’t be 6’6 midday if he’s 6’6 out of bed. That’s a 6’5 3/8 midday as midday and afternoon are only about 1/8” apart. Best case is they’re 1/4” apart. I could see 6’6 out of bed or 6’6.25 if he lost an inch. I personally lose 3/4” from out of bed until afternoon. My afternoon and evening are the same usually. My lunchtime after 5 hours is only 1/8” above those.
Now if he’s 6’6:5 out of bed then I could see 6’5 7/8 midday or 6’6,25 out of bed 6’5 5/8 midday. I could see the latter more so than the former but don’t rule it out but I’m not so sure he lost the full inch although I don’t rule it out

SR1279 said on 18/Jan/22
@Canson I can get on your way of thinking. I tend to lean towards a 6’6” midday height from 1977-1987/1988. I never met him back then other then going to wrestling shows and a few autograph signings they would have back in 86. I can definitely see a 6’5.25” evening height after a long day of working out. Maybe even down to 6’5” flat at times. I wouldn’t go any lower then that tho. Definitely not under 6’5” to 6’5”+ evening. I’ve met him and have spent a little time around him outside the whole wrestling gimmick and he’s surprisingly bigger then he seems in pictures stature wise. It’s pretty obvious he was a taller man by his body proportions. He has huge hands and longer arms then what a normal 6’3”-6’4” man would. I firmly believe he gets out of bed and would measure 6’4” if he stood straight. Midday 6’3.5”-6’3.25” and 6’3” flat evening.
RP said on 18/Jan/22
Canson is 100% spot on!!
Peak afternoon barefoot heights:
Hogan: 6’5.5” (Max)
Undertaker: 6’7”
Sid: 6’6.25…note: Sid wore lifts in his boots. Don’t believe me, check out his beach pics with Big Van Vader vs his in ring gear pics with Big Van Vader.
Out of ring gear, Sid was only 3” taller than Vader. In ring gear Sid looked 4.5” taller than Vader. There are many more examples proving Sid wore lifts in his ring boots. Likely why he broke his ankle/leg.
Canson said on 17/Jan/22
@Rampage: I think a downgrade to 6’5.75 would even be a start. But 6’5.5 would be the best fit since some do believe he was 6’6 and he looked near that with Trump. I’d say one of the three assuming just 3/4” loss per day. My personal vote is 6’5.25 being I go with afternoon height like Rob uses for himself as my 6’4.25 is my normal low (3/4” less than my out of bed) and same with Rob if he’s 5’8.75 to 5’8.875 out of bed. But I doubt Rob will list him at 6’5.25. He said the lowest is 6’5.5” and I’d see Rob list him 6’5.75 before he does
6’6.25 out of bed (6’6.5 maybe at a stretch)
6’5 7/8 after an hour (6’6 1/8 maybe at a stretch)
6’5.75 after 2 (6’6 maybe stretch)
6’5 5/8 after 5 (6’5 7/8 maybe stretch)
6’5 1/2 after 6-7 (6’5.75 stretch)
If he’s a guy that lost a full inch maybe he got down to 6’5.25 or .5 by evening
Or 6’6 out of bed (6’5.75 worst case)
6’5 5/8 after an hour
6’5.5 after 2
6’5 3/8 after 5
6’5.25 after 7-8 (6’5 flat worst case)
I’d say he was somewhere in between the two. 6’5.75-6’6.5 out of bed with the top being if he lost a full inch and 6’5-6’5.5 afternoon height. I think if Rob reduced it half inch it’s justified being Taker was 1.5-2” taller and is listed 6’7.25” and being Sid is listed 6’6.25. Sid should’ve had an inch but .75” is acceptable
James B 171.5cm said on 14/Jan/22
Well I think in the 1980s he could pull of looking 6’6 and In fact height wise during that era he reminded me of how tall Sid Eudy could look. You have to remember as well that there are not any photos or video footage of hogan and Sid next to each other in the 80s.
Sometime between the late 80s and early 90s hogan must have lost at least half an inch. Surgeries or wrestling injuries could have been the reason.
Canson said on 11/Jan/22
@Ian: I agree. He was probably even under 6’5 sometime in the 80s. I think peak absolute best case was 6’5.5 (he did wear thick boots). I’ve had 6’5.25 although I don’t know when he began to lose height. I think it’s a consensus here that 6’5.5 is a better peak listing than 6’6” however

Looked 6’6” with Trump if Trump is 6’2”. Typical 4”. Probably similar foot wear on the heels. I’ve heard people say Hulk wore lifts but I don’t see it. Can’t really hide lifts in those yellow boots he wore. Standing firm on the 6’6” peak height. Morning measurement. Definitely a strong 6’5”+ guy evening. Now, 6’3” at night. Most likely 6’4” out of bed.

@Rising: my 2022 prediction is a 6’5.75 peak Hulk Hogan. Really it should be lower but Rob said 6’5.5” is as low as he’d take it and he didn’t seem too comfortable with that even so I’ll take the over lol. I could live with 6’5.5 since other guys here that are listed at that look like they trend more toward 6’5 than 6’6 meaning they’d be 6’5.25 guys that hit 6’6 out of bed
SR1279 said on 26/Dec/21
I’ve met Hulk many times. Got several pictures of him with me and with my buddy at his home. 6’6” max is what I could see for him at 21-25. That’s a morning measurement. I have no doubt in that. 6’5” - 6’5.5” evening at that same age. As for now I say 6’3” - 6’3.5” possibly 6’4” out of bed. Looks to be 3” - 3 1/2” taller then my buddy who is a little over 6’ 1/2”. Definitely not under 6’3” tho.
Canson said on 24/Dec/21
@Rising: interesting. Yea it could be 6 now. Hulk has lost a lot but a lot meaning 2-3” range
@Miko: hogan at his absolute peak could’ve been more 6’5.5”. I don’t rule that out but I rule out any higher only because he looked max 6’5 or 6’5.25” like you said when he stood with Sid who was a good 3 cm taller (worst case maybe 1”). I think he may have lost height by then being he began wrestling earlier but I also don’t rule out 6’5-6’5.5 range peak either because we didn’t see enough of him before that
Rising174cm said on 21/Dec/21
Here's a good full pic of Sly and Hogan in 2005:
Click Here Of course, Sly has elevator shoes.
Prime, I think Sly was a weak 5'9" or 5'8.75" range, but Sly shockingly still looks like he'd be 5'8.5" from 2018-2021. Not sure how much height Hogan has lost by now, but it probably is about 6" now as Sly really hasn't lost more than a relatively small amount of height while Hogan has lost a lot.
Toby Barrett said on 20/Dec/21
Click Here heres how peak hogan would look next to current hogan
miko said on 19/Dec/21
A prime Hogan and Sly the difference should have been around 8 inches, (6'5 vs 5'9) so not a million miles off a full head difference.
Today it's likely around 6 inches. It did look 5 inches back in 2005 but Sly was in some absolute monster footwear.
Canson said on 18/Dec/21
@Rising: agreed. I’ve lobbied for a downgrade for his peak listing to 6’5.5” personally I think more along the lines of a 6’5.25 afternoon 6’6 out of bed but 6’5.5” is a pretty decent compromise since Rob won’t go below that mark. Clearly he doesn’t line up to 6’6 with Taker Sid etc tho

_______________________________________-
I went and watched the Thunderlips vs Rocky clip and Hogan has a noticeable footwear advantage. I'd say Hogan looks 6'6" compared to Stallone with his boot advantage. Take away the boots and Hogan to me looks like what most of us here already believe. 6'5"ish
frank pizzo said on 17/Dec/21
Duhon I believe before that seen when when they did not show there feet The Top of Sly's head was @ Hogans Chest someone on here posted the platform that was used in the movie
Rising174cm said on 17/Dec/21
It's clear that the difference is nowhere near as big as it was with the platform, which was used to make him appear near 7' like an Andre the Giant figure. The angle is too high to estimate, but Sly at a minimum 5'8.5" and a maximum 5'9" (in line with the 174-175 cm Brigitte Nielsen said he was in 2003) and Hulk at 6'5"-6'5.5" range makes sense.
People use the 2005 photos where Sly has a camera advantage to exaggerate how close they looked, but they're pretty much side by side in this full pic:
Click Here Even factoring in Sly's elevator shoes and Hogan's surgeries, it'd be clear that the difference was never anywhere near what they made it look in the film even if we didn't have the photo of Hulk on the platform. Hulk was 52 there. Realistically, how much height do we think could have lost by that age? I know he was already claiming to have shrunk from 6'7" to 6'4", but Hulk is famous for, um, "embellishing." Obviously, Mr. T has too much of a camera advantage there, but in their primes during the 80s, the difference between Hulk and Mr. T was more 6" than 7"+.
As for weight, they probably added about 100 pounds for the character. Stallone himself was at his lightest weight outside of Victory and you can see this in his face. They were still billing Rocky as over 200 pounds in the first fight and over 190 in the second, yet his real weight was about 163 pounds.

Canson said on 14/Dec/21
I’m not so sure he went from 6’5.5 to 6’2.5”. I think more like 2-2.25 inches of height loss instead. He could be 6’3 today or even 6’3.25” and peak 6’5-6’5.5”. I don’t rule out 6’2.75 for him now either but I’d lean more toward the 6’3 mark
Duhon said on 11/Dec/21
Thuderlips in Rocky 3 was billed at "almost 7' and 390 lbs" what do we think Hulk's real measurements were then? He probably was at his peak size wise in the early 80s.
JamesB171.5cm said on 10/Dec/21
Canson- it just goes to show how massive a strong 6’6 with good posture and a monstrous build like Sid can look.
Braun Strowman although he might be 1/4 inch taller has got a different build to Sid hence does not look quite as huge.

I had Hulk at 6’4.5 with 6’6 Sid in 92 as well.
That being said when I met Hogan a few years ago I’d have said 6’3.5 and I consider myself I good judge.
His hair was so damn big. It felt like his chin was the height of a 6’2 guy but looking back at our photo the top of his head was 6’3.5.
I noticed in person he had the proportions of a 6’5 guy, incredibly long arms and you could see his hips were messed up. He lent to one side and his legs were bent.
The queue snaked around and I got around 30 mins just watching him interact and stand with people.
From a distance due to his proportions he didn’t look that tall, relight next to him it was a different story.
He’s one of the few wrestlers I’ve met in recent years who was bigger than expected, bigger arms, overall heavier. The list includes Sid and Taker who were both shorter than I expected.
Hogan was also incredibly cool and looked good for his age.
I’d guess today 6’2.5-6’3.
Peak probably just over 6’5.
The 6’6 admission from Sid drops guys like Hogan down.

My dad who is 6'5 saw was on a flight with him in the late 90s. He said Hulk was shorter than him by at least 2 inches.

If hogan was still 6'6 in the early 90s then sid was pushing 6'8.
James B 171.5 said on 25/Nov/21
canson-Hogan looked 6'4.5 with sid I thought
Canson said on 23/Nov/21
@Miko: the problem is we don’t know when Hogan began to lose height. Rob has said that too. I think a good starting point for Hogan is 6’5.5”. Sid could stay at 6’6.25 but I don’t rule out 6’6.5”. However they may very well have only been 2 cm apart if Hogan lost height prior to their first encounter
Toby Barrett said on 23/Nov/21
6'2.5 now 6.5.9 in peak
Space said on 17/Nov/21
6’3.5” at the absolute max in the early 2000s.
6’4.5”-6’5” in the 70s/80s
JamesB171.5cm said on 15/Nov/21
I agree wifh Sid he looks nowhere near 6’6.
I don’t think Sid wore lifts either
miko said on 15/Nov/21
6'6 peak Hulk does put Sid over 6'7, which as we know is too high.
Even if we account for Hulk having a small loss of height by 1991/1992 (which is unlikely), Sid was at times at least 1.5' taller in staredowns and out of ring segments.
A 6'6 Hulk and a 6'6.25 Sid just doesn't make any sense to me.
I've personally got Hulk at 6'5/6'5.25 peak and Sid 6'6.5/6'6.75 range. I can't go as low as 6'6.25 peak for Sid as for one he looked taller than that most of the time and two, it could drop Hulk slightly below 6'5 peak which doesn't seem right at all.

Jordan87 your entitled to you opinion Hogan was The Muhammed Ali of Wrestling !!! He actually could Wrestle but Vince did not want him to because he was a Big Man Listen with Other Wrestlers have said about him like Al Snow Jim Cornett The Wrestlers who bad mouth him are Jealous they could not reach the The Fame he had like Randy Savage, Jessie Ventura & Bret Hart People that know him say hes not a Racist !!!! Yes he said a Racist Comment but which person has never said a Racist or Sexist comment in their life
Canson said on 11/Nov/21
@Editor Rob: I think there is enough evidence for a 6’5.5” listing. That’s a good balance being he can look 6’5-6’6 range esp with trump or taker and 6’5 tops with Sid perhaps after height loss. 6’5.5 is almost exactly how he looks with Trump. We can rule out 6’6 flat but I personally think 6’5.25” peak afternoon 6’6 out of bed. But 6’5.5 is a fair listing since most of us agree he looks it

Editor Rob
5.5 is lowest I would ever really go.

He is also, factually a piece of crappola. My Source? Listen to everyone about him backstage. He is also a racist, Narcissist. I'm kinda glad his wife left him and destroyed his life.

He was dwarfed by Dennis Rodman. Sid also convincingly talller
Michael Vardy said on 3/Nov/21
I think as for his absolute peak daytime height, pretty much 6'5 flat.
I can see him having woken up around the 6'6 range or slightly under, I suspect he would've lost close to an inch through the day. So for at least some portion of the morning he would've been walking around at 6'5.25/6'5.5. Walking round at 280lbs and being in the gym for extended periods is a sure fire way to drag your spine down to its lowest.
If he ever was 6'6 prime, I've seen little evidence of it so far, in most in ring staredowns he came up short of that height with Sid/Taker/Andre/Zeus. Backstage/cowboy boots he could look it on occasion for sure.
FriedChicken said on 3/Nov/21
He might drop down another half inch in the next decade.
Canson said on 1/Nov/21
@Chaos: I could see just inside of 6’5” like 6’5.25” perhaps or 196 maybe. I was just saying to Berta that 197 is the ceiling. I would really say 6’5 3/8 for the ceiling but that’s not far from 197. He doesn’t look 6’6 though and next to Sid. There he can look more a 6’5 guy or a hair over
Chaoscontrol. said on 1/Nov/21
There’s no way he was ever 197 in the afternoon. He was at most 196. 6’5 flat is the most realistic number. Else he wouldn’t have descriptions of him being 6’5 at his peak

MJKoP said on 26/Oct/21
Read 'The Big Grapple' article. Glenn measured OVER 5'7" during the 2nd meeting, henceforth why Rob suspected him of "cheating" by lying down beforehand. Since Rob listed himself as a flat 5'8" for years when in reality his lowest measurement was 5'8.1" and he would awaken at 5'8.9", even an out-of-bed 5'8" measurement for Glenn would exclude him from a 5'8" listing on this site - as I myself mentioned to over a decade ago, before Glenn was banned(for the final time).
Therefore, Rob most likely caught Glenn at his lowest and highest, respectively. Actually, had Rob measured Glenn immediately out of the Volvo, he might've been just barely under 5'7.5"; fractionally higher than when the 2nd measurement took place. But Glenn being on his feet at all(and likely rushing up those flights of stairs) probably cost him a few mm.
If Glenn measured 5'6.5" and just over 5'7" under the same conditions(as he seems to claim), then he must simply defy human physiology.
The aforementioned reality of this saga all makes perfect sense, and Glenn simply can't, in his right of mind, claim 5'8" for himself.
"In his right of mind" being the key phrase.

Editor Rob
There was always a 2mm positive error with the stadiometer, so on the second visit like I say he was near enough 5ft7 exactly and 16 minutes later remeasured 1/8th under 5ft 7.
A 3/8ths increase from the first encounter is big enough to suggest something like a lay down, though he said he didn't.

UndertakerFrank said on 24/Oct/21
Rob did Glenn get also a 5ft 7 measurement from you also besides the 5ft 6.5 ??

Editor Rob
Yes, 5ft 6 5/8ths seemed his low and after telling him about how relaxing on the bed like Jenny can help you measure taller, he came back and managed near 5ft 7 on the nose, although 15 minutes later dropped 1/8th.
Although he insisted he never lay down...I have some doubts as I seen him arrive in the hotel long before he chapped our door, and when he did chap it, was sweating and saying let's get this measurement done now 😃

@MJKOP: Glenn did the opposite of what he accused Rob of. He inflated a lot of celebs’s heights and he himself wasn’t even what he claimed to be. Rob said Glenn was 5 6 5/8” when he claimed 5’8”
Rob didn't just 'say' Glenn was 5'6 and 5/8(actually 5'6.5, due to a discrepancy in the stadiometer as later discovered)...he PROVED it.
I was one of the few who stood by Glenn's side for many years after he was booted from the site. Believe it or not, there is actually a rather sweet, compassionate, relatable, and even somewhat humble hidden behind what must be a metric ton of pent up grief, trauma, and hostility. Unfortunately, I suffered from similar afflictions, and our personalities clashed to the point where I believe critical mistakes were made on both sides - and thus our friendship ended. Yes, he has rampant tendency to be unnecessarily rude, aggressive, and judgmental...but there are indeed redeeming qualities once you peel back the layers. Tragically, roughness embedded within simply can't be contained - so that side of him will inevitably reemerge, henceforth costing him numerous friendships and relationships(won't go into any personal details, but I actually have a great deal of pity for him).
Glenn claimed he didn't have one bit of interest in height and his involvement with this website was merely circumstantial, yet he'd frequently bring up celeb heights(the concept, not this website - although that too, from time to time...as screenshotted by Rob), as well as his own.
Additionally, that inquiry on Sly's IG post seemed to stimulate him in full force - so the guy has a blatant and undying height obsession.
His baseless and easily disprovable statements about Rob's M.O. are projection 101. A guy who feels insufficient and lacking in stature(both figuratively and literally) feels the urge to upgrade himself, and, by proxy, upgrade celebs in order to pull off such a farce.
Like so many of his other world views(cryptozoology, astrology, conspiracy theories, etc.), his seems highly allergic to any rational counterpoints, such as pointing out that almost all of Rob's listing are contingent on the accuracy of his own height(which has been chronicled and documented meticulously).
If almost all of the height are too low, is Rob also under listing himself?
How is that possible, with the irrefutable video proof?
If so, how could Rob making himself shorter than he actually is be some demented ploy to boost his own ego?
And so forth.
You can try to reconcile Glenn's bizarre, fantastical, and oftentimes wildly contradictory musings...but don't even attempt to in his presence. He get defensive, resort to ad hominems, and rage until you are basically forced to concede - or just block him permanently.
Bottom line is that you simply can not reason with the unreasonable.

No, Hulk Hogan did NOT always wear cowboy boots. He wore EXTREMELY THIN soled Nike sneakers while Beltzer had much thicker soled dress shoes giving Betlzer a MASSIVE footwear advantage. Beltzer was much closer to the camera and had great posture and the Hulkster had very poor posture as usual. I've seen Beltzer with 6'5 1/4" peak Howard Stern MANY times. The height difference between Hogan and Beltzer is literally DOUBLE the height difference between peak Howard Stern and Beltzer.
6'1" peak height people like Richard Beltzer who have a camera advantage, hair height advantage, footwear advantage, and posture only get towered over like this by TRUE GIANTS, not by just 6'5", 6'6" or 6'7" tall guys.

Hogan's sneakers had the thinnest soles I've ever seen on sneakers in my entire life and their soles were also probably squished into pancakes by his massive 341 lbs weight at the time.

@Henry: that is not a 6’8 guy let alone 6’8 9/16 in that pic. He looks around 6’5-6’6 there. He doesn’t look any taller physically than someone like Kawhi Leonard does.

Rob just posted Matt Bloom (6’6” peak height) on this site. I find it hard to believe that a peak 1970’s Hogan was the same height.

198.1 out of bed

Possible he could’ve lost an inch so maybe higher. I think 6’5.5 is a balance between the two since we don’t know for sure. We can at least justify him as a 6’5 3/8 midday or 6’5.5” two to four hours after waking. I don’t rule out 6’5 3/8 being his afternoon/evening either but nor do I rule out 196 flat

Let's face it, a younger Hulk Hogan gave the appearance of a Seven Footer. If you told people that Hogan was 7 feet tall barefoot back then, you wouldn't get any arguments. Richard Beltzer and a Chiropractor thought that Hogan was 6'9" barefoot, but I think he was about 6'8 9/16" barefoot mid day from about August 1974 till he started lifting heavy weights and wrestling and losing height slowly.
@Henry: your chiropractor whether that story is made up or not, is not a credible source and Belzer was exaggerating. That’s no different than Kobe Bryant calling Tracy McGrady 6’10” once and McGrady was only 6’6/6’7 or Doug Collins or Phil Jackson calling Scottie Pippen 6’9”. All they are doing is saying the man is massively tall. And most celebs are referred to as their billed heights so if Hogan was billed 6’8” that’s what most people would refer to him as especially when they are talking him up which Belzer was doing when he called him 6’9”. If someone else were arguing that hogan wasn’t as tall as he is billed then they would’ve said he was 6’6 or 6’5”. Remember he did wear boots
Canson said on 9/Oct/21
@Duhon and Rampage: Yea I think that’s the best fit at this point. Rob won’t list him at 6’5 because he’s uncertain of when he began losing height and I’m not sure 6’5 flat was his true peak. I’ve long been a proponent of the 6’5.25 afternoon for him and 6’6 out of bed but a lot of that hinges upon Sid’s true height and when Hogan began to lose his peak height. Since we don’t know (especially the latter); 6’5.5” may be fair. If Sid was 6’6.25 and Hogan’s pic with him was a bit outside of his peak, I think 6’5 would’ve fit at that time. I don’t doubt that he was a flat 6’5 or even heading south in the late 80s though.

Public Enemy said on 5/Oct/21
@Henry
We know today that Hogan is 6’3 max today. I find it highly unlikely that he has lost 5’5/16 inches in height from his peak as you estimate.
I do think he could have been 6’5.75 in his early twenties but 6’5.5 is a safer bet.
@Public Enemy: I don’t believe Henry believes what he says. Like you said 6’5.75 is remotely possible. He’s not David Prowse. Anything in the 6’5-6’6 range fits. I can see the argument for 6’5 flat but maybe that wasn’t quite his peak height but maybe his height in his late 20s or so. 6’6 flat looks a bit high but it is within the realm. 6’5.5” I agree is the catch all. It fits a 6’5.75 measurement if going with near lunch since he’d be a little lower in the afternoon and 6’5.5” after 2-4 hours makes him 6’5.25 maybe in the afternoon. Depending on how tall trump was in his prime (I think 6’2 flat is ok based on how he stood with will smith but 6’1.75 May also be), he can look somewhere in the 196-197 range perhaps

@I still cannot fathom why Glenn still chooses to state 5'8 as his height, it is extremely hard for me to justify. Is it some form of cognitive dissonance and as a result, he actually sees these inflated celeb heights as genuine and thus, his own in comparison? I don't know.
In the best case scenario, if Glenn was indeed at his lowest-of-low height when he met you and thus an insinuation that his out of bed height is his real height, he would still be hard pressed to measure beyond 5'7.5-5'7.75 and that's if we were indeed to believe he was actually had been awake and walking around for many hours before he met you and Jenny, which I hihhly doubt. If the man was indeed 5'8, don't you think he would have proved it by now to his social media followers? Come off it and the fact you exposed his inconsistency without any malicious intent, he deems it to fit to character assassinate you when are not the one not fabricating your own height measurement nor did you physically compress his body to a lower measurement that day. Nobody would care soo much but the fact he is sprouting the same rubbish all these years later, he opens himself to criticism.
Johno said on 1/Oct/21
@Rob, LOL, that thread is hilarious. Glenn is arguing with sceptic of Glenn's claim that Stallone is 5'10 and was 5'11 peak --- 5'11 peak !!!!!
I don't know if he actually believes his own statements. I think Rob is largely fair with his Celebheight estimates and far from being insecure, I believe Rob does not go down low enough for me, I see heights even lower so if anything, Rob gives more benefit-of-doubt than someone I like would give.
For me, I would not go above 5'8.5 for Stallone for his peak height and that is a morning measurement so no celebrity can complain that Rob isn't professionally fair and not impartial.
Calling Celebheight users as typically insecure is akin to stating that any social media follower of Kim K or forum contributors, which there are millions, that deny Kim K's prime asset as being natural, is insecure in themselves, everyone is allowed an opinion on physical attributes. We, as humans, are primed to judge aesthetics, it is how the world works. If a celebrity deems it to fit to deliberately inflate an attribute, you will often find scores of people, who will call you out on that attribute, with height being a physical attribute that is openly discussed on this site.
There is nothing insecure about our opinions.

@Viper: did you really expect him to? Lol. That was a bluff to make us take him seriously. He hasn’t posted since then, either. No tournament held at said place that weekend and even if he were there, it’s a golf course. If you look at the pic with Barkley and Manning etc, Barkley appears taller but then you see another where you can tell Barkley is on higher ground than the others and physically you see Curry, Barkley, and Manning and you can tell that Barkley isn’t as tall as Manning and maybe 3” taller than Curry who is more 6’1.5” afternoon height

@Canson. My friend has 2 masters degrees and engineered this software hisself at FSU. The the US Military and The FBI have a leased contract with him to use it on areal photos or surveillance. If he said those measurements are exact then they are exact to the 1/10th of a inch. He can tell you which lens was used on a camera just by running the picture through his pattened software as well as live cameras and the distance from lens to focal point. So he says Barkley is 6’5.25” then that’s what he is. Same with Hogans height he said. I understand people on here guess one way or the other but he’s not guessing. You’re welcome to look him up. The is legit. Plus I personally know Hulk and he’s still 6’3.25”-6’3.5” today. That’s him standing up straight. I’ve seen his X-rays from his 8th surgery and the table they put you on has a scanner that goes over your whole body while you’re laying on it. That measurement on the X-ray said 6’4”. So I do believe when Hulk gets out of bed he is 6’4” until he walks around and then that 6’4” goes bye bye. My opinion is Hulk was 6’6.25” out of bed and dropped a inch during the day.
Well he may be 6’3.25-.5 today but he has probably heard other posters say that.
Viper, look up the tourneys at said place that weekend (this was posted on 8/16 which was a Monday.

Rob, please walk me through how to upload pictures and videos to your site. I want to put the talkers trash talk to bed. I will upload pics of us at Hogans house. As well as the pics and videos from Golf tourney in Palm Beach Gardens. Love when people talk . Makes it that much better to prove them wrong. Thank you!

@Canson, I actually met sir Charles Sunday at a golf tournament. I have photos but do not know how to upload to this forum. I am a shade over 6’2” 1/4”-3/8”. Evening measurement. My brother and his friend were with me. Danny (brother) is 6’4” and Todd (friend) is 6’6”. Charles was closer to Todd’s height than Danny.
Zero in on the portion of the statement below. This is where we were sure he was full of sh1t.
I flat out asked him how tall he was and he said a little over 6’5”. I asked him about the 6’4.75 stuff mentioned on here and he said none of that is accurate.
He (Barkley) is the one who said that he’s 6’4, 6’4.5, 6’4.75 and was officially measured 6’4 5/8” yet he said none of it is inaccurate? So Barkley lied about his height as did Dan Majerle, Danny Ainge, Joe Klein, and all others that said he’s 6’4”?

Seriously he wasn’t over 6-5 peak. Was dwarfed by Rodman etc. 6-5 peak absolutely. In his always on cowboy boots looks 6-7 weak.

@Chaos: never mind. I answered my own question. Conan is listed at 6’4 which he would measure earlier in the day but not in the afternoon. This troll said he’s 6’5” 🤦♂️
Ronster said on 30/Jan/08
Hulk was on the Connan O'Brien show mid- january 2008 to promote Gladiators. Connan is a true 6'5" tall, and Hogan cleared him by at least two inches when standing side by side. Just watch the episode for yourself on youtube.com. Hogan is at least 6'7" to this day, you all are dillusioned and misinformed.
Henry said on 12/Sep/21
The Hulkster has already lost tons of height by this point and is wearing very thin soled wrestling boots and Trump has a Massive Footwear advantage and is much much closer to the camera yet The Hulkster still towers over him.

The fact that Hulk Hogan is still listed at 6'6 at his peak when I have put up pictures of Hogan in the early 90's standing face to face with the listed 6'6 Sid Vicious and Hogan is at least 1.5 to 2 inches shorter cracks me up

@Canson I can quote the passage from Sex Lies and Headlocks that says he’s 6’5 off the top of my head easily

@Chaos Control: I wish I could find the interview when he said he was only 6’5 (corrected a reporter that said he was 6’7) and that was in the 90s I think
Canson said on 21/Sep/21
@Chaos Control: it’s funny that Ronster never calls Henry’s estimate of 6’9.25 and 6’8 9/16 at his peak out but he calls out the 6’5 range guesses at his peak when Hogan has admitted to being 6’5 before in his prime

196-196.5 peak ,190-190.5 today.

I was talking about the Picture of Trump, Hogan & Andre !!!
ChaosControl said on 14/Sep/21
Hulk is in wrestling attire with Trump, there’s no way he’s in anything other than thick boots. And actually if Trump wasn’t slouching in Henry’s photo I’d almost struggle to believe he’s 6’5 there. Give Trump a full 6’2 and he looks maybe 6’5.25
Canson said on 13/Sep/21
@Chaos: maybe 6’1.75 for Trump but he did look slightly taller than Will Smith did

Keep walking Tall.... The Reason he Towered Trump is because he was wearing Cowboy Boots with a Hugh Heel
And also because Trump was never a full 6’2 as listed

6'6" peak, 6'3" or at least 6'2.75" current. Hogan's one of the best examples of extreme height loss for pro wrestlers, behind only guys like Roddy Piper and Billy Graham. Watch him wrestling in 1979, compared with the late 1980s, its already like 2 different people height wise. By his big match with Andre in 1987, I believe Hogan had already lost half an inch, down to 6'5.5". And that was before his back really started to break down on him. Besides countless injuries to his spine, another major reason for Hogan's height loss is Scoliosis. I know someone who was measured 5'6.5" in 2001. And 20 years later in 2021, they're only 5'2", a loss of 4.5 inches, so far. Scoliosis can do this to people.
Keep Walking Tall Like Rop Baul said on 7/Sep/21
he could be strong 199 on his prime, look on how he made young trump below his eye level, so maybe fat 6'6 is quite possible. his current height, 6'3 , the height gap with hasselhoff is very remarkable, hasselhofff is a very legit 6'4 even in his old age, i mean he used to be towering over conan o brien and even in his older day, he still managed to towered conan even more!

i know conan doesn't standing straight but even if he did. hoff still got the edge.
so old hogan is still a bit more than 6'3 , and if he has shrunken more, then 6'2 range
Canson said on 7/Sep/21
@Public Enemy and Chaos Control: I think he was taller at 24 than 32. Question is how much height did he lose and what was he at his peak? He was shorter than Charles Barkley (6’4 5/8” measured) in the early 90s. I don’t know how much of that was posture related etc but he looked shorter by a bit. In his peak years he was easily at minimum 6’5” or a hair over more than likely but I don’t know when he hit 6’4 or 3. I do know that he did correct a writer once and told him that was actually 6’5 after the guy said he was 6’7”. I thought I posted that interview once but need to find it as it was many years ago. I’ll see if I can find it. But I don’t rule out a peak 6’5 1/2” for him just as I don’t rule 6’5 flat out like Chaos said. However, I’d take a 6’5 1/2” listing for him just as any of us more than likely would being the answer may lie in between the two and being it’s more likely than 6’6”. Even if we split the difference and said 6’5.25, the 6’5.5” is maybe 2 hours out of bed and he would be 6’6 out of bed and 6’5 3/8 around lunch. A 6’5 3/8 lunch can almost justify a 6’5 1/2” listing even though many of us here including Rob and me use our afternoon/evening height which is our normal low on the day. But most of us here have pushed for 6’5 1/2 being it’s fair for him and because we’re uncertain if he was less, especially knowing Rob currently has him at 6’6 and that he is going to always use what he thinks someone would potentially measure even if it’s not their normal low. But conventional wisdom says that is as high as it should be given the fact that he was 1.5-2” shorter than Undertaker and he was still shorter than Sid. There’s no way Sid was 1/4” taller than Hogan. It looked an inch at least but Rob has always maintained that he doesn’t know when Hogan began losing height so he leaves that window open. So even if Rob kicked Sid back to 6’6.5 maybe that still fits although if Sid says he was a hair over that he’s probably not quite 6’6.5. Of course certain people here (not mentioning names but Chaos knows who I’m talking about) have attempted to say he was at least 6’6.5 because people like that never argue that the listing is too high. Only that it’s too low because it makes their estimate for a different celeb such as (cough) Undertaker invalid
Alex 6'0 said on 7/Sep/21
Hogan could be 6'2.5 nowadays
Alex 6'0 said on 7/Sep/21
Hogan like all wrestlers when we see them its evening where they're at their low to extreme low. Hogan looked easily 6'5. 6'5.5 peak i could even go with but no higher.
ChaosControl said on 7/Sep/21
Hmm. 32 seems very young to be losing height, even as a 300lb pro wrestlet
Public Enemy said on 7/Sep/21
@Chaos
Point taken but could he have been taller at 24 before he faced Andre The Giant in 1983 when he was 32 after being in the ring for 8 years?
viper said on 7/Sep/21
Miko Sid was measured at 6-6
He wasn't 6-6.75
ChaosControl said on 6/Sep/21
@Public Enemy there is no way Hogan was losing height at 24
Canson said on 5/Sep/21
@Miko: it’s possible Hogan had lost height by then. Sid may have been 6’6.5 possibly but I lean toward 6’6.25 he’s listed. Hogan was definitely not more than 6’5 flat if not less. Hogan was already 6’4 or lower when he was next to Barkley who was peak 6’4 5/8”
Public Enemy said on 5/Sep/21
@Canson
Fair enough and you are probably correct. Thing is Hogan made his wrestling debut in 1977 when he was 24. I don’t know how long he would have been training prior to his debut. It would be interesting to know if he was slightly taller at say 21-22 years of age.
James B 171.5cm said on 4/Sep/21
Rob do you think the 6’5 range estimates for a peak Hogan are to low?
miko said on 4/Sep/21
It's highly improbable that Hogan had lost any height by the time of his early staredowns with Sid, if so we are talking a tiny amount.
If Hulk was 6'6 then Sid could look 6'7.5/6'7.75. Both had normal looking footwear.
Personally I've got Hulk at 6'5.25 at his tallest and Sid was 6'6.75 range.
Canson said on 4/Sep/21
@Public Enemy: I think he would early morning. He was perhaps 6’6 out of bed and still 6’5 5/8 after an hour. I could see:
High end
6’6.25 out of bed
6’5 7/8 after an hour (maybe 6’6)
6’5.75 after two (maybe 6’5 7/8)
6’5 5/8 after 5
6’5.5 afternoon/evening
Or
Low end
6’5.75 out of bed
6’5 3/8 after an hour (6’5.5 is possible)
6’5.25 after 2 hours (6’5 3/8 is possible)
6’5 1/8 after 5 (6’5.25 is possible)
6’5 flat afternoon/evening
IMHO he fell somewhere in between the two. My guess is right in the middle. I don’t rule out a 1” loss from morning to evening but it’s possible. Most guys who are 6’5” range wouldn’t lose the full inch but you’ll never know
At this stage, a reduction to 6’5.5” would be the catch all/fair compromise being a lot of people think he’s just south of 6’6 but many think he’s closer to 6’5”. Then some who thought he was 6’5.75 possibly. 6’3” is ok for his current although I doubt he’s any shorter. He could even be 6’3-6’3.5 range with 6’3.25” as a possibility. He is one of a very few who may actually be a tad underlisted. But just a tad if he actually is
