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.

@RP I watched it also. He definitely did not say 6’2”. He was very clear in the 6’4” - 6’4.5”. And Hulk is probably that height in shoes.

@ 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.

@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.

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.

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.

Editor RobThat'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.

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.

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”

@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.

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.

Has Tony lost 4” in height?

@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

@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.

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.

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.

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

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.

@ He1ghtexpert49 that is some pretty bad camera angles. Definitely can’t base a height comparison on that picture. If you were they were to switch places Hulk would appear taller from this picture.

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?

@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

@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”.

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.

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)

@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”.

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.

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.

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.

@ 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.

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"

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”.

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 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?

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.

@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?
This is the picture of me and Scott Hall in the Scott Hall thread when i met him here in England at a show about 5 years ago 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

@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.

@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.

@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.

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.

@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.

@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.

@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

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.

@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

6'1.5 Hogan puts Austin at barely 5'11.
Austin still clears 6'0 with ease today and can still look close to 6'1 at times. He looked taller than Mark Henry a few months ago.

@ 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.

@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

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.

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.

@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

@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.

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.

@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

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

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.

@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

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.

@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

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.

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.

@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

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.

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

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.

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.

@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

6'2" ( Tops) Brock was Taller than him back in 2003. He is not over 6'1 nowadays, sorry Hulksters. ( PS- He also was a horrible wrestler as far as Skill Goes. 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.

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.

@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

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

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 RobThere 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.

Would Glenn wear Portmans in the pre-fight staredown? Could Rob counteract it with a pair of Dons?

Only trained specialists like Stallone can fight in elevator shoes...but a Hogan 5cm sneaker is doable!

Editor RobYes, 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.

The wisdom of Glenn from that thread:
""Celeb Heights is a site controlling by a man(if you can call him that) that literally carries around a measuring device daily- I knew him personally- and use to contribute to the page- he's disturbed like most of you are- and downplays celebrities height to feel better about themselves. Almost every height that site listed is wrong- and Liotta is 6ft""
Seems Glenn is still a little bit upset with that measurement. There is no hiding from it online...
Skimming that thread is like the old days of reading his arguments here on CelebHeights 😄
That man is about to turn 50.
I'll say it once more, because it bears repeating:
That man, Glenn Cunningham, IS ABOUT TO TURN FIFTY YEARS OF AGE.

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.

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

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

@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.

Hulk Hogan was obviously 7’8 in his prime, a chiropractor said so and everyone who’s ever met him has said he’s 7’8. People won’t read this cause it doesn’t fit their downgrades agendas, but 7’8 or at least 7’7.75 is a good call

I think 6'5.5" is indeed the best fit. In wrestler and/or cowboy boots with his massive frame that would be enough for him to look ~6'7".

@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

The only way a young Hogan could possibly give the appearance of a 7’0 man was if your concept of feet and inches was disconnected from reality. But I’ll raise you a better guess, he’s 7’8 am I right?

@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.

@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.

The wisdom of Glenn from that thread:
""Celeb Heights is a site controlling by a man(if you can call him that) that literally carries around a measuring device daily- I knew him personally- and use to contribute to the page- he's disturbed like most of you are- and downplays celebrities height to feel better about themselves. Almost every height that site listed is wrong- and Liotta is 6ft""
Seems Glenn is still a little bit upset with that measurement. There is no hiding from it online...

@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.

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”?

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.

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

@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

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.

Hmm. 32 seems very young to be losing height, even as a 300lb pro wrestlet

@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?

@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”

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.

Rob do you think the 6’5 range estimates for a peak Hogan are to low?

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.

@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
